Savannah wedding DJ — Anchor Entertainment
Savannah's wedding scene is one of the most photogenic in the Southeast — squares draped in Spanish moss, river-walk rehearsal dinners, brick-and-ironwork venues that have been hosting celebrations for two hundred years. Anchor Entertainment has DJed and emceed weddings across Chatham County for more than fifteen years, and Gary Lucca (DJ Tanz) still books every Savannah date personally.
Gary handles ceremony audio, cocktail hour playlisting, reception DJ and MC work, and the cues that make a reception actually flow — the first dance, the parent dances, the toasts, the cake cutting, the grand exit. Measured MC work is the difference between announcements that land and announcements that disappear into noise; that's the part Savannah couples ask for most often, and the part Gary has optimized for the longest.
Anchor Entertainment's Savannah coverage includes downtown Savannah, Tybee Island, Skidaway Island, Wilmington Island, Pooler, and the surrounding Chatham County venues. Gary works alongside Savannah-based planners, photographers, and venue coordinators so the music, timeline, and room energy stay aligned from ceremony to sendoff.

“We are still on cloud nine thinking about how amazing our wedding was, and a huge part of that is thanks to Gary Lucca from JLK Events. Gary didn’t just play music, he threw the party of our dreams! The dance floor was packed the entire night, and our guests are still talking about how incredible the music and energy were. From the very beginning, Gary took the time to truly get to know us as a couple and understand our taste and vision for the day. His attention to detail and thoughtful planning made us feel completely at ease, we had the utmost trust in him, and he absolutely delivered. Every song, every transition, and every moment felt perfectly tailored to us. Gary kept the celebration flowing seamlessly from start to finish and created an atmosphere that was unforgettable. He was so easy to work with, so professional, and so much fun. We honestly wish we could do it all over again every weekend! If you want a DJ who will not only keep your dance floor full but make your wedding unforgettable, look no further than Gary Lucca and JLK Events, they are simply the best.”

“We had DJ Gary Lucca at our wedding and I am still in awe 10 days later at how amazing he was. He was so attentive throughout the whole planning process, listened to our needs, catered to our music tastes, and made sure to include specific requests. There were small touches throughout that made it feel like he truly cared about us individually and making sure we had the best time possible. And we definitely did!! My whole family still won’t stop talking about how amazing our DJ was. I truly believe Gary is the reason our wedding was a perfect night and we have no regrets at all. He’s phenomenal!!!”

“Gary Lucca from JLK Events was incredible to work with! He was so flexible with meeting up in person and via zoom as this was a destination wedding for us. The process of choosing music was easy via an app called Vibo, which Gary used for our playlist and found clean/radio edits of certain songs. His attention to detail was amazing! Gary added on glow batons for the final hour of dancing, which was so cool when we made our grand exit. He added in parts from our vows during a song at the end of the night…such a special touch. He had clips of phone calls from family that couldn’t attend our wedding (I sobbed). He flawlessly helped us pull off an incredible event. If there were issues (which we definitely had), you couldn’t even tell. Gary, THANK YOU for everything and being the most amazing wedding DJ. We appreciate everything you did for us. See you next time we are on the island! -The Horans”

FAQ
Savannah DJ FAQs
Does Anchor Entertainment cover both the ceremony and the reception in Savannah?
Yes. Gary handles ceremony audio, cocktail hour playlist, and the full reception DJ and MC program, including parent dances, toasts, and the grand exit. One point of contact from first call to final song.
How far in advance should we book a Savannah wedding DJ?
Peak Savannah wedding dates (late spring, fall) book 9-14 months out. Off-peak dates are sometimes bookable 4-6 months out. Send Gary the date and venue first — he replies personally and confirms availability before anything else.
Do you work with our Savannah planner and venue coordinator?
Yes. Gary builds the run-of-show with your planner and confirms cues with the venue coordinator at the rehearsal. The timeline is reviewed line-by-line in the week-of call so the first dance, toasts, and cake cutting all hit on cue.
Can we get a preview of the music plan before the wedding?
Yes. You send a must-play list, a do-not-play list, and an optional guest request form. Gary reviews everything, flags any crowd-control questions, and locks the reception framework in writing before the day.
