Alex Gusler

DJ + EMCEE

Alex’s passion for music started with drumming, which he has been doing for almost two decades now. He pursued his passion for music by attending Michigan State University and graduating with a degree in Music Performance. It wasn’t until after college in 2012 that Alex started exploring the world of DJing. It was the similarity between DJing and drumming that initially sparked his interest – both rely heavily on rhythm. It didn’t take him long to pick up the skills necessary to start his professional DJ career.

Alex is great at reading the crowd and pulling from his diverse knowledge of music to play something for everyone. He loves being able to make people dance and puts 100% effort into ensuring everyone is having the time of their lives on the dance floor.

When Alex is not DJing, he can be found lifting weights, running, doing jigsaw puzzles, playing video games, reading, watching podcasts, and taking power naps.

What interaction or even at a wedding do you look forward to?
As odd as it sounds, the last song of the night. I’ve seen mosh pits, sing-along circles, conga lines, the bride and groom lifted up on chairs, and much more. When the lights come on and everyone has danced their heart out, I know I’ve played my part in making that night one that most won’t forget.

Why do you live in Northern Michigan and what do you enjoy about the area?
I grew up here, moving north from New Mexico in 1995. My favorite part about the area is the easy access to a variety of nature, from hikes to sand dunes to endless amounts of forest.

100/10. Could not recommend highly enough. Alex and the rest of the team were a pleasure to work with. Everything went so smooth. We received so many compliments on the music. Alex had the perfect blend of our choices of music, his selection of great wedding party songs, and requests from guests.

Our DJ was excellent! After filling out a very detailed list for him, he called and emailed me for clarifications and suggestions. Also very helpful with special requests and so professional! We needed two spots with microphones and speakers for the wedding and tent plus a whole set up for dancing in a different spot in the venue. When attending other weddings I have been disappointed when you couldn’t hear during the wedding and the toasts or the music was so loud you couldn’t talk, but everything was perfect for us. Thank you so much, Alex!

Great communication, super easy to work with, with a user-friendly and thorough website. Very professional but also fun. Made great recommendations for music during the times in our reception we were unsure what to play (entrance, cocktail hour, dinner). Alex made our celebration into a party. Highly recommend!

2Bays DJs did a fabulous job at our wedding at the Grand Traverse Resort and Spa. Alex Gusler was amazing. He was very professional and attentive. His execution was flawless and he was very helpful with last minute requests. The music was on point for the wedding! Alex did a great job reading the audience, people never sat down!

We were married back in August on a private property and 2Bays DJ's handled everything without a hitch. The ceremony, the speeches, and of course the dancing. I worked with Dan from the beginning and he was very prompt and professional. Alex was our DJ and he showed up prepared and ran everything smoothly. We even had a custom MOH rap speech which he worked with and helped make happen without my wife and I knowing, super awesome service! Our dance floor was packed all night and the music didn't stop. Had numerous comments about the dancing from our guests. This is not your average DJ who shows up with a playlist, definitely worth the money and highly recommended.
