These days, Isaac is focused on building leaders within the GTE Event Group and Kapptured organizations, pouring his energy into developing systems and processes that help the company run efficiently and deliver unforgettable experiences. Behind the scenes, Isaac wears many hats, marketing, hiring, and fostering a culture that helps people plan and celebrate amazing events. But one of his favorite roles is teaching the entertainment team and helping them level up their performances. He’s passionate about sharing the magic of entertaining, how blending music, MC skills, technology, and event knowledge can create moments people remember for the rest of their lives. For Isaac, it’s about seeing people fall in love with the art of entertaining the way he did, and hearing guests say, “That was one of the best nights of my life.”
Rosemary first connected with GTE Event Group and our sister company, Kapptured, as a bride. After her wedding, we discovered that she had a real passion for marketing, especially when it comes to connecting with people on social media. Her excitement and natural talent for sharing stories and creating engaging content made her a perfect fit for the GTE team. Since joining us, Rosemary has helped us grow an incredible fan base and has played a key role in getting the word out about GTE’s many services. Her creative energy, combined with her genuine love for celebrations and her deep appreciation for GTE, rooted in her own experience as a client makes her a true asset to our team.
Samantha has been part of the GTE Event Group family since May of 2022, and her amazing vibe and infectious energy make her an instant hit at every event, adding to the entertainment experience that guests remember long after the celebration ends. When she’s not working a photo booth, you can find Samantha in creative mode, roller blading around town, practicing with her nunchucks, or taking her dogs for a fun adventure at the lake. Her zest for life and passion for making memories shine through in everything she does.
Sam joined GTE Event Group in March 2024 while still a senior in high school. A big baseball fan with a laid-back charm and great energy, Sam first stepped into the world of events as a roadie, eager to learn and see what it takes to run unforgettable parties. In just one year, Sam has grown into one of our “Introductory DJs and MCs”, blending his love for music with a genuine desire to make people smile. Whether he’s behind the decks or on the mic, he brings a fun, easygoing presence that guests naturally gravitate toward. Watching him light up when the crowd reacts to one of his mixes is a reminder of why we love what we do. Sam’s journey is just getting started, but we already see something special in him. With his dedication, passion, and natural vibe, we believe he has what it takes to become one of the best DJs GTE has ever produced.
Marcus joined GTE Event Group in June of 2023, but his journey with us started long before that and it's one we’re incredibly proud of. When we first met Marcus during his interview, we didn’t feel he was quite ready for the role. Most people would’ve stopped there, but Marcus did the opposite. Without excuses or complaints, he took our feedback to heart, did the work, and came back three months later to show us the progress he had made. That determination was impossible to ignore. Marcus started with GTE as a roadie, our entry point into the world of DJing and Emceeing (MC) and spent over a year learning the ins and outs of what it takes to lead a successful event. Today, Marcus is part of our Introductory DJ & MC team, and his hunger to grow, learn, and lead has never slowed down. His dedication to becoming a well-rounded entertainer is clear every time he shows up.
Christian, better known as DJ Ziggy, has been DJing since he was 12 years old. Now 17, Ziggy is Andrew’s younger brother and was born into the entertainment industry. However, Ziggy brings his own fresh energy and vibe to GTE Event Group. Known for his high-energy performances, Ziggy is always hype, not afraid to grab the mic and teach the crowd a new dance. His passion for music is clear—when he’s spinning, you’ll catch him dancing behind the turntables, fully immersed in creating the perfect experience. Ziggy's musical knowledge is incredibly diverse. One summer, he took on the role of DJ for the "Bands on the Bluffs" event series, which challenged him to dive into 70s and 80s pop and funk. He mastered the sounds of icons like Madonna, Michael Jackson, Earth, Wind & Fire, and more, adding these genres to his repertoire. His skills impressed so much that at just 15, a client called the office to book Ziggy for their 50th birthday party. Ziggy’s ability to connect with audiences of all ages and his deep love for music make him a rising star in the industry.
Patrick has been part of the GTE Event Group since April 2018. The name DJ Tempt8tion was affectionately given to him by his grandmother, who said he reminded her of one of The Temptations when he dressed up for events. The name stuck, and now Patrick brings that same flair and charisma to every event he works. Patrick first caught the attention of GTE’s owner during an event for the Teaching Fellows organization, where Patrick’s infectious energy and likable personality stood out. Though he had no prior DJ experience, Patrick’s background as a singer in his church gave him a natural understanding of how to entertain a crowd. His enthusiasm and charisma made him a quick study, and he rapidly mastered both the technical skills of DJing and the finer points of event etiquette. Since then, Patrick has become one of GTE’s most requested DJs and MCs. His ability tengage with any audience and bring highenergy performances has made him a favorite among clients, who are always impressed with his passion for creating unforgettable experiences.
Julian joined GTE Event Group in June of 2024, already bringing a deep resume of DJ experience to the table. From spinning at nightclubs and music festivals to rocking airwaves at radio stations, DJ Burns is without a doubt a career entertainer—and you can feel it the moment he starts mixing. His energy is electric, and his ability to move a crowd is second nature. Despite his impressive background, Julian started the way everyone does at GTE, as a roadie. It didn’t take long for us to see that his skills and professionalism were on another level. He quickly skipped past the Introductory tier and earned a spot on our “Excellence DJ/MC team”, where he's continuing to impress and elevate events across the board. With his chill, fun-loving personality and undeniable talent, Julian is not just one of the coolest people you’ll meet—he’s on a fast track to becoming one of GTE’s “Elite” entertainers.
Chris, known to many as DJ RemRox, joined the GTE Family in February of 2022. With years of DJ experience already under his belt, Chris brought a creative and dynamic style that instantly stood out. After working closely with our Elite MCs to hone his emceeing skills, he quickly became a well-rounded entertainer who knows how to create unforgettable moments on the dance floor.
But Chris isn’t just another DJ blending tracks—he’s a true turntablist. His scratching and beat juggling are a real treat for anyone who appreciates the art form, adding a layer of excitement to every set. What sets Chris apart is his ability to read the room: he knows exactly when to pull out his bag of tricks to elevate the energy, and when to hold back to keep the spotlight on the guests and the celebration.
Elizabeth first connected with GTE Event Group as bride, searching for a professional DJ/MC for her wedding in August 2015. During our initial meeting, her infectious energy, bubbly personality, and love for life immediately stood out. The owner, impressed by her enthusiasm, jokingly told her she should be a DJ. Without hesitation, Elizabeth replied, "You should hire me!" After booking GTE for her wedding, it became clear that Elizabeth had a natural gift for entertaining. Although we wanted to hire her right away, we held off until after her wedding to preserve the surprise of some of our performance elements. Once the big day passed and after hearing about her breakdancing in her wedding dress, we knew she was the perfect fit. In July 2016, Elizabeth officially joined GTE as a DJ/MC, eager to learn the craft. With her outgoing personality and passion for fun, she quickly became one of our top entertainers. Since then, Elizabeth has not only mastered the art of DJing and MCing but has also become an educator, a mother of three, and a wedding expert.

Elizabeth continues to inspire and lead, providing unforgettable experiences for GTE clients.
Geo has been with GTE Event Group for the past 10 years, bringing a wealth of DJ experience from his time performing at local nightclubs. Geo is passionate about the true art form of DJing, staying dedicated to the craft by continuing to use his classic Technics 1200 turntables and buying vinyl records. His deep love for the culture of DJing sets him apart, making him a standout within the GTE team. One memorable example of Geo's talent was when a client—whose job involved organizing the Red Bull DJ competition in LA—wanted to bring her own DJ for her Valley wedding. However, the venue required her to use one of the DJs from their approved list. When she shared her dilemma with us, I immediately recommended Geo, knowing his skill and authenticity would meet her high standards. She booked us, and after the wedding, she left an amazing review, praising Geo's talent. Geo’s passion for being the best is evident in every event he handles, and his willingness to mentor and share his knowledge (though maybe not his music secrets, as he likes to joke) with newer GTE DJs makes him a valuable part of the team. He continues to inspire those around him with his dedication to the art of DJing.
Dion has been with the GTE Event Group for four years and quickly became one of our mostrequested entertainers.

After moving to Orange County, he crossed paths with GTE in 2020, bringing his natural charisma, humor, and energy to the team. Despite having no prior DJ experience, Dion's eagerness to learn and his exceptional ability to entertain quickly set a new standard at GTE. His talent for reading the crowd and creating unforgettable experiences consistently earns him rave reviews, making him a go-to DJ for clients and their guests alike.
David has been with GTE Event Group since 2014, starting his career with us at just 20 years old. Over the years, David has developed into one of GTE’s most sought-after DJs and MCs,
earning his spot among our elite entertainers. In addition to his DJ and MC talents, David also serves as GTE’s Director of Events, where he works directly with clients to help plan every aspect of their event activities, ensuring each celebration runs smoothly and exceeds expectations.
A Fresno native, David is not only a seasoned entertainer but also a talented rapper, which has
played a key role in making him one of the best event hosts we’ve ever seen. His ability to engage guests with his humor, quick wit, and natural charisma sets him apart and allows him to
elevate any event he’s part of. Whether he’s running the mic or spinning tracks, David always knows just what to say or play to enhance the energy in the room. David’s unique musical versatility is another reason he stands out. While his rapping skills are impressive, his deep knowledge of country music has made him a favorite among clients who appreciate this genre. No matter what kind of music a client prefers, David has the expertise to deliver an outstanding experience tailored to their tastes, effortlessly switching between genres and creating memorable moments that guests will talk about long after the event.
Andrew Atkinson has been with GTE Event Group for over 11 years, starting his DJ career at just 12 years old. Now 23, Andrew is one of GTE’s Elite DJs and MCs, as well as the company’s
Sales Manager. A Clovis West High School graduate, Andrew grew up in the entertainment industry, working alongside his father, Isaac, who owns GTE Event Group. But Andrew’s success is a direct result of his own talent, dedication, and hard work. At just 16, Andrew was chosen to DJ the VIP room for Bruno Mars when GTE was hired for the event, showcasing his advanced mixing techniques and making him a standout entertainer. His mixing skills are second to none, and his ability to read a crowd has made him a client favorite. When Andrew was 19, his father was hospitalized due to COVID, and Andrew stepped up to take over day-to-day operations of GTE. His leadership during this difficult time impressed client and staff alike, proving he could handle more than just DJing. In a few short years, Andrew earned the role of Sales Manager, where he now oversees client relations and ensures every event exceeds expectations.
