Jacob Merlin is an excellent DJ and an even better human. He’s based in Nashville and drove to us in Chattanooga, stepping in on short notice on New Year’s Eve for our wedding (already a strong sign we were dealing with the right person LOL). We live in California and were staying with family in Georgia while planning the wedding, which meant coordinating from a distance. Jacob was clear, responsive, and unflappable, making a potentially stressful situation feel surprisingly easy. On the day itself, his mixing was spot on. He read the room well, kept the energy moving without forcing it, and carried the mood effortlessly from start to finish. What really stood out was how much care he brought to the job and to all of our people. He went above and beyond, treated our wedding like it genuinely mattered, and by the end of the night felt less like a vendor and more like someone we’d happily recommend to friends over and over and over again!

Jacob was absolutely wonderful and truly made our event last night! From start to finish, he was professional, engaging, and did an amazing job reading the room. The music selection was perfect, the energy stayed high, and everything flowed seamlessly. He kept everyone entertained and created such a fun atmosphere — we couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. Highly recommend Jacob for any event. Thank you for making our night so memorable!

I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Jacob. He did an excellent job and everyone had a blast. No hesitation about hiring him again to DJ a party.

I hired Jacob for my husband’s birthday!!! Him and Emily showed up at our home and showed out!!!! The music, the singing was PHENOMENAL!!!!! Both were so personable and sweet!!!! We enjoyed every bit of them. Both had amazing voices! If you’re looking for a live band for a small or big event, I’d recommend them 10,000x!!!! They created a memory for my husband he’ll never forget and I’m forever grateful for that!
