If you are looking for a Quality DJ that knows his stuff and is accommodating............MARK DOBRES is your guy!!! He was Fantastic, took extra meetings and calls. Was very pleasant every time & explained everything very well. :)

Our wedding was loads of fun, and a big reason for that was because of Gopher the Music. He had lots of great ideas to make our wedding something a little different, such as playing musical chairs to decide the order that tables would eat for our buffet style dinner. Everyone had a blast! The tone was set for the evening that was perfect for our particular crowd. Of course, we had some meetings to discuss this idea, among others. My wife and I probably weren't the easiest couple Mark has ever worked with. Between me being hard to get a hold of at times, and my wife changing her mind about certain ideas, it probably would've been understandable for Mark to get frustrated with us. It never happened. He was always quick to get back to me when I was looking to speak with him.

Another nice thing was his willingness to work with people involved in my wedding. Whether it was my parents, or my MC, Mark made himself accessible to the people around us. If you want more from your DJ than someone who comes in halfway through the night to play dance music, then Gopher the Music. Mark does all that and more. I can't recommend him strongly enough. Thanks again Mark, for being part of our special night!

We had our our wedding outside in a friends backyard.
Originally we had planned to just use a an iPod on our karaoke machine as we were scared that if we had a DJ it would create friction between the neighbors and us. Mark assured us he would do a great job and that the noise level would not bug them. He was right and to boot he stepped up and acted as our MC (we had not thought about that part) and made sure the wedding went smoothly.
It's hard to make my family and friends dance but somehow he managed it. I am so grateful for all his service and look forward to having him DJ for us again in the near future.
*FYI he has some REALLY great geeky/nerdy stuff which was awesome.

Mark was amazing! He went the extra mile to make our wedding perfect! He played the best music and everyone wouldn't stop dancing! He made my wedding very memorable!! He is by far the best dj in Winnipeg! He will meet your needs and definitely have no problem helping with plans and make sure it's how you want it. Thank-you so much Mark, we will never forget you!!! I highly recommend Mark for anything you need a dj for!

Amazing DJ.

-maintained steady flow of music!
- Will and already have recommended Mark to other people!

Mark saved our wedding from disaster. When our original dj cancelled 2 days before our wedding he stepped up and made our day a huge success. He really means it when he says he makes things stress free. Even though he only had 48 hours to prepare he pulled off an absolute miracle for us. He knew just how to make everything perfect even with only 1 meeting with us and the music was great. All we can really say is thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding day perfect.

I’m writing this review for the couple trying to decide on a very important decision regarding an integral part of your wedding day. My first suggestion would be to not underestimate the importance of who will be coordinating the sound/music aspect of a large event such as your wedding.

I let my wife take the lead on this area of planning and between herself and Mark, they did an amazing job! A major area of attention for us in planning our wedding was regarding the music/dance as most of what we remember as being the “fun” aspect of weddings has been dancing it up with family and friends. We wanted our wedding to be FUN. Mission accomplished, the major compliment people gave us regarding our wedding was how much fun it was.

Honestly, when I look back on memories of our wedding day and to how much fun it was, Mark you’re going to be in those memories as one of the awesome people involved in our day that made it very special. Mark also was our MC. Not only did he take on that role with short notice (sorry Mark) he actually took the time to get to know us. This made a huge difference as everything on our wedding day just flowed along like clockwork.

If you are looking for someone who knows what needs to be done on your wedding day in order for it to be a success, I wouldn’t hesitate at all recommending Mark (Gopher The Music Mobile DJ Service).

At the end of the night I was thanking Mark for going totally above and beyond for our wedding and he mentioned something to the effect of ‘ it’s not like we can just come back tomorrow and try it again’. This relates to my first point of finding someone who is experienced and enthusiastic about working with you to make your wedding a success.

I’ll end my review with this. If you want to work with someone who truly cares about making your wedding day a great celebration, and fun, call Mark.

Thank you!!

We highly and enthusiastically recommend Mark Dobres "Gopher The Music Mobile DJ Service",
He was fantastic to deal with and very helpful whether it came to music selection or just us being picky about what type of music should be played. He was very understanding when we needed certain ethnic music played and surprisingly had access to a massive selection to choose from.
Anyone dealing with him will find he is an awesome individual, very friendly, and easy for anyone to approach whether it was during the planning phase or during the reception if we needed anything. For example, when someone forgot the CD with the music for our first dance, Mark went out of his way to find it and saved the day! Thank you for all your help, Mark!

I highly recommend Mark Dobres "The Gopher DJ services" to anyone hosting an event. His charm, wit and all around great personality is a delight to have at any function. He is incredibly flexible in being able to provide specific music themes for any function. He is also a fantastic MC with his ability to bring a great sense of humour to an event. If he doesn't happen to have a specific tune, he will promptly find it and provide it for your event. He provides all types of musical genres as well as any kind of international, religious, and cultural beats for your events. I am so impressed by this DJ's talents, he has become a personal friend and I will attend any of his future DJ functions. If you need any kind of DJ services, Mark Dobres is your man and ticket to a great day of fun.

Hi Mark.

Thanks very much for providing your talented DJ services to us at our Wedding. From the moment of our initial consultation, it was obvious that you were more than just a “DJ” and were providing us with more than just music. You took the time to understand who we and our guests were and what we were looking for at our wedding and then provided us an understanding of what it was you would need to do in order to achieve what we were looking for at the wedding. You worked to ensure the reception and events of the evening went smoothly and that our guests had a great time as well as looking after the “little details” for us so that we weren’t worrying about things that came about unexpectedly. You did an excellent job in true style and we thank you.

Best Regards,

Ian and Marcela
