Introduction

Being a DJ is thrilling and I love being able to give you and your guests the best experience possible. I became a self-taught DJ in 2002 and have been in business by word-of-mouth ever since. Thumbtack is a new platform I decided to join in order to expand and connect with more clients in the Tri-State area. Since 2003 I have been involved with many events including weddings, graduations, sweet sixteens and corporate events that require something different each time. I focus on my client’s specific needs and give them the very best to keep their guests dancing throughout each event. I really enjoy playing all types of music including 50s/60s/70s/80s/90s/Pop2K/Rock/House/Reggae/Disco/HipHop and more! My specialty though is House music 😁 Reliability, professionalism and quality is what I do and as your DJ/Emcee I will do my best to make your event amazing and memorable! I can provide you with everything needed to make your event a success including speakers, lighting, music, microphones, dancing on clouds, photo booths and more! Upon request I have a full list of previous clients from all types of events that would love to tell you how great I was as their DJ and please take note I am not bilingual. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you soon for your next event! Jason Kohlmann Owner

My husband and I are so glad we chose KJ Entertainment to be our DJ and MC!! Working with Jason was great- friendly conversations, organized planning, on-time setup, and much more. His fun, energetic personality and confident voice makes him stand out as a professional. We'll definitely be recommending him to our family and friends. (Jason- Thank you so much.

Glowing Review for DJ Jason Kohlmann

We were thrilled to have DJ Jason Kohlmann at our most recent event, and he did not disappoint. From the moment he arrived early to ensure everything was perfectly set up, he brought an infectious energy that resonated throughout the venue. Handling our 500+ person Gala with complete ease, Jason was undoubtedly the highlight of the evening.

His impeccable music selection kept the atmosphere lively and the dance floor packed all night. Jason’s professionalism extended beyond just the music—he was a team player who went above and beyond by assisting other vendors, ensuring the entire event ran smoothly. His seamless sound check and technical expertise were evident, leaving us worry-free about the sound quality for the night.

Jason was not just a DJ; he was an entertainer who made the night fun and memorable for everyone in attendance. We have been producing events for 25 years at East Coast USA and have worked with numerous vendors, but Jason stands out as one of the best. We hope to make him a staple at all our future parties, as his contributions truly elevate our events. Thank you, Jason, for an unforgettable evening!

Details: Party • 150 - 199 guests • 12 years old or younger • 13 - 17 years old • Pop • Banquet hall or ballroom

We hired Jason to play at our wedding and can confidentially say he was born to be a DJ. He was so positive and energetic throughout the entire process and happy to work with us on our requests. He kept the great vibes up the entire night and seamlessly switched his booth indoors when it started to rain outside. You can rest assured when you hire Jason that it’ll be a great night!!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing includes 2 top of the line EV monitors, one 18” subwoofer for larger rooms, either a black facade or white cloth facade that is back-lit, 2 wireless microphones, travel time, setup, breakdown and above all experience!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First we discuss what type of event and the age group of the guests that will be there. Then I learn what type of music the client specifically likes to better suit their needs. Finally we decide on what type of lighting and effects will be desired in order to set the mood of the event.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Being a musician helped me learn the art form of DJn and after going to audio school in 1999 I was able to work in recording studios which in turn led me to becoming a music producer.
