Jay was the ABSOLUTE BEST!!! He arrived early and with plenty of time to set up before our guests arrived. He has a wonderful presence about him that instantly makes you feel comfortable and at ease. He understood exactly what we wanted for our daughter’s Sweet 16 and executed the entire night perfectly. Our guests danced the night away and had a phenomenal time. Some DJs tend to make the night about them, and pull too much focus, but that wasn’t the case with Jay. He fully commanded the room when making announcements and introductions, but then faded into the background beautifully, when it was the birthday girl’s time to shine. I would recommend him without hesitation. I already have, in fact, and will only book him for future events. Thank you so much, Jay! You were instrumental in making our little girl’s evening everything that we had dreamed it could be.

I do not know where to even begin. DJ Jay is absolutely outstanding. I hired him 6 days before my wedding, without meeting or really talking a whole lot. He sent me everything I needed for song choices and announcements. He was very quick to respond. He was the first of all my vendors to arrive on my wedding day. Traffic in the area is crazy (45min to go 1.5 miles, crazy). I found out he lives 2.5 hours from the venue too. Extremely impressed by his punctuality and professionalism. He nailed it with the music. I gave him ideas of songs and had maybe 5 must plays… everyone was dancing and having a great time the entire night! His set up with lights and his table looked great, super fun and perfect for our wedding. I had a list of do not play songs and my guests started requesting them… he asked me if it was okay to play prior to playing them!!seriously, cannot say enough great things about Jay! He was also out on the dance floor helping my guests with the dance moves to songs like the wobble, cha cha slide, etc…we loved Jay! He was perfect for our wedding. Announcements and keeping the flow of my wedding were on point as well (I didn’t have a wedding planner). Jay was very attentive and noticed when it was time for cake cutting…my cake hadn’t been set out yet! He saved me from some awkward moments for sure. Thank you so much, Jay!!

FAQs

• What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

  The base price quoted normally includes not only the coverage requested but travel time and setup/teardown as well. For nighttime and indoor events I also provide a nice dance light setup at no additional charge. There are some options available including additional lighting (uplighting) and a second speaker setup for outdoor or separate wedding ceremonies. My wife is a photographer so we can offer package discounts if both services are used. And payment terms are pretty simple and painless. Normally a down payment of $50 to $100 (depending on the size of the job) is requested with the remaining balance due upon my arrival.

• What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

  I've got some great online planning tools I use to help clients to plan out their agenda/schedule for the evening, list the key events and people involved so I can be fully prepared to make the important announcements, and offer my clients many choices when it comes to special requests or types of music they'd prefer to have throughout the evening.

• What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

  I'm an amateur musician and play the guitar, bass guitar, trumpet and a little piano. I minored in music theory and was involved in sound engineering in college. And being an engineer I have a great appreciation and understanding of the technical tools which can assist the DJ in providing great results.
