Tell us about yourself!
My name is Greg, and I am the owner and lead DJ of NRG Entertainment. Music has always been the thread that connects everything meaningful in my life. What began as a simple fascination with how a great song can completely reshape a moment has turned into a career that allows me to bring joy, excitement, nostalgia, and connection to people every week. I love staying active, being near the water, and discovering new places across New Hampshire and New England. Outside of events, my happiest moments are spent with my two cats, Chad and S.A., and continuing to grow personally and professionally.
Did you grow up in a musical household, or was this passion something you discovered later in life?
Music was always present in my life, although it wasn’t necessarily a “musical household” in the traditional sense. Over time, the passion grew into curiosity, then skill, then a profession. Each step led naturally into the next.
What inspired you to become a DJ? Was there a moment when you knew this was your calling?
There was a moment at an early event when I put on a track that completely shifted the mood of the room. Seeing people who were sitting down suddenly rush to the dance floor made something click. The power of music to connect people was undeniable, and from that night forward, I knew I wanted to dedicate my career to creating those moments again and again.
Can you tell us the story behind your DJ business? How did it all begin?
NRG Entertainment began back in 2009 when I recognized that DJing was more than just playing songs. Friends kept asking me to DJ their events, and I found myself naturally taking on responsibilities such as organizing timelines, crafting curated playlists, and leading the room with confidence. I realized quickly that people deserved a DJ who cared as much about their celebration as they did. That passion laid the foundation for what has now become a well-established and trusted entertainment brand across New Hampshire and New England.
Tell us about your business!
NRG Entertainment is a wedding and event entertainment company providing high-quality DJ services, professional MC support, dance floor lighting, ceremony audio, and an elevated planning experience. The mission is simple: create unforgettable celebrations that feel uniquely personal to each couple or client. The brand reflects positivity, energy, modern style, and meticulous preparation. With over fifteen years in the industry, the focus has remained the same: deliver exceptional service and keep dance floors full.
What types of events do you specialize in?
Weddings make up the core of my business, and they are where my expertise shines. I also provide entertainment for corporate events, school dances, community celebrations, fitness experiences, and private parties. Regardless of the occasion, every event receives the same level of care and preparation.
How would you describe your DJ style or vibe in just a few words?
Energetic, modern, and crowd-responsive.
What does a “day in the life” look like for you?
Each day is different depending on the event schedule, and that keeps the work exciting. Weekdays are dedicated to communication with clients, music curation, coordinating timelines with vendors, maintaining equipment, and continual business development. Event days involve travel and setup hours before guests arrive, sound checks, and detailed coordination with the venue and other professionals. When it is time to open the dance floor, the goal shifts to reading the room, maintaining energy, and guiding the flow of the evening until the very last song. It is a mix of creativity, strategy, and hospitality.
Can you walk us through what it’s like to plan a party or event with you?
Planning is structured and collaborative. After booking, clients receive access to a personalized online planning portal where they can organize music, timelines, announcements, and special details at their convenience. Throughout planning, I remain in communication to answer questions, provide suggestions, and coordinate logistics with the venue and vendors. On event day, everything is executed exactly to plan so the hosts can relax and enjoy the celebration.
How do you go about creating the perfect playlist for an event?
The playlist starts with the client. I work closely with each couple or host to understand their vision: the genres they love, special songs that mean something to them, and any music that simply does not fit the vibe. I then analyze the crowd in real time, adjusting the flow to match energy levels, reactions, and transitions throughout the night. Preparation meets improvisation, and that is what creates the magic.
What’s your favorite kind of event to DJ, and why?
Weddings bring out the strongest emotions and the biggest celebrations. It is a special privilege to guide a couple and their families through such an important milestone. Every wedding has unique personalities and traditions, which keeps the work exciting and creatively fulfilling.
How do you get guests of all ages up and dancing, even the shy ones?
Engagement depends on trust. The right music choices, seamless transitions, and timely interaction from the MC position all contribute. I pay attention to who reacts to what and adjust accordingly. Once people feel comfortable and included, even those starting out shy find themselves joining the fun.
What’s something people might be surprised to learn about what DJs actually do?
Behind the scenes, DJs are the event’s central communicator and timekeeper. We coordinate with vendors, manage audio complexities, control lighting, host transitions, read the room, solve problems discreetly, and maintain a steady flow from start to finish. The performance is only the final layer of a much larger job.
What’s one of the most memorable family events you’ve ever DJ’d?
There are countless, but one that stands out involved three generations dancing together for the final song. The couple chose a track that held meaning for their grandparents, parents, and themselves. Seeing everyone arm-in-arm, singing together, and celebrating love across decades was an unforgettable reminder of why this work matters.
How do you help families make their events feel truly personal and memorable?
Listening comes first. Understanding the client’s story, preferences, cultural ties, and inside jokes ensures the event reflects who they are. Every celebration is tailored, from the music to the announcements to the pacing of the night, so the final result feels authentic to their family.
What tips would you give to moms planning a big celebration?
Start with what will make your family feel the happiest and most comfortable. Focus on the experience rather than trying to check every trendy box. The day should feel effortless and joyful, not overwhelming.
If you could give one piece of advice to parents planning a party, what would it be?
Do not stress the small details. Once the right vendors are in place, trust the team to deliver. Guests remember how the celebration felt, not which color napkins were on the tables.
What are some music or entertainment ideas that always make an event more fun and family-friendly?
Interactive moments work incredibly well: dance-offs, group sing-alongs, special anthem songs for friend groups, and music sprinkled with nostalgic surprises. Kids love upbeat pop and party favorites, while adults light up for throwbacks that remind them of their own best memories.
What are some trends you’re seeing in music or event entertainment lately?
Modern weddings are leaning heavily into personalized moments such as custom mashups for special dances, hype-style grand entrances, and interactive dance floor experiences. People want celebrations that reflect who they are, rather than cookie-cutter formats. I also see more couples blending genres across decades to ensure guests of all ages feel included.
What are your favorite local spots in town?
New England offers a wide range of amazing local venues, restaurants, and outdoor spaces. Time on the Seacoast always feels like a reset. Coffee shops where people connect, local breweries with live music, and beachside walks are at the top of the list. Supporting local businesses is important, and the best spots always seem to be the ones where the community gathers.
What are your goals for your business in the next 3–5 years?
The primary goal is sustainable growth through elevated client experiences and strategic partnerships with venues and planners throughout New England. Expanding into more large-scale corporate events and curated nightlife experiences is also a key priority. Another major initiative is further investment in technology and immersive production elements that complement the music, ensuring every event feels both modern and tailored.
What is your best piece of advice for people looking to start a business?
Be prepared to outwork your expectations and stay patient with the process. Results rarely come quickly, but consistency builds trust. Invest in strong relationships, stay committed to learning, and build a brand rooted in authenticity and professionalism. Above all, remember the reason you started. Passion that focuses on serving others will always translate into long-term success.
