Jack did my sister's wedding a couple years ago, and then my own. I would recommend him to everyone. 1.) His prices are very reasonable, and he has a Photo Booth option which is a blast. 2.) He is a very friendly guy, and did really great with my younger nieces and nephews. 3.) he kept the party going the entire time! 4.) he also comes with a camera, and takes great photos! Cannot say enough nice things.
We hired Jack for my engagement party. We were having a house party and therefore had limited space. We set up Jack on the beautiful balcony which all of the guests thought was a perfect spot. Jack was combative from the second he arrived. We had to escort Jack off of the property after he cursed at the bride and smashed some of his own equipment.
Jack was fantastic at our wedding! He kept the dance floor packed all night long and hit every song on our request list. We had a few minor hiccups with introductions, but nothing to get upset about. We had a phone call with him prior to our wedding to go over the flow of everything and it really helped to put our minds at ease. His communication with us and our photographer throughout the night was excellent as well! Jack also brought his camera to take photos, which we really appreciated. It was nice to wake up the next morning and already have photos.
We held our 50th anniversary celebration at a beautiful country club & on my daughter-in-law's recommendation, we hired Above & Beyond for our music. Jack was a FANTASTIC D.J. He was extremely responsive to all our requests. He "read" the crowd VERY well & had everybody dancing & smiling all night long! Great sounding equipment, great lighting, great DJ. WOW!!
Jack did a fantastic job with our wedding! He was on time, very thorough in the preparation and also took some fantastic photos. He helped make our wedding day very special. He also did great with special requests for music! Would definitely recommend him.
Jack was a great DJ. He was a true professional, great mc and was very attentive to us and our audience. He did not miss a beat. Played our all songs. He had the dance floored packed all night long. Bonus is he takes photos and captured our ending song with our entire family when the photographer had already left.
Jack is the best. He was flexible with us as we worked to reschedule our wedding multiple times due to COVID. He was also able to adapt to some last minute changes the day of. Jack is a fun, great DJ, that I highly recommend!
Jack’s selection of music was great and on target for guest age group. Very professional and kept everyone on dance floor. He is also a photographer by trade and took awesome pictures during the entire reception. Would highly recommend him for any type of event

DJ Jon Arvanitis was just super!
At our 50th party at the Port O Call in Ocean City 6/19/2021–
He was able to react upon moments notice to our requests for announcements and changes to our previous agenda/song list
He took it in stride and was very accommodating and professional through out the evening
Many of our guests commented favorably about the music and DJ Jon
“The Music makes the Party” And he made it happen!
My wife and I were extremely pleased with Jon and Above and Beyond DJ Services and certainly would recommend you to others wanting a “5 STAR” event!
Jack did an excellent job going truly above and beyond at our wedding! Jack played great music, all of the songs that we requested, and did an excellent job of getting and keeping our guests engaged, having fun, and dancing! In addition to his DJ services, Jack took, developed, and sent us about 100 photos from our wedding and the photos were awesome, capturing all of the highlights and important moments from our special day! Jeanne and I were able to share these lovely photos the day after the wedding with our family! Jack is a great person as well as an awesome photographer and DJ! I would highly recommend Jack for anyone's wedding or special event! Thanks Jack!
Jack was absolutely perfect for my wedding. Not only is he an amazing experienced DJ but extremely kind and professional. I was worried about the dance floor at my wedding because it was a small guest list. Jack listened to all of my concerns. He was always easily available with great communication. Needless to say he had all of my guests up dancing the entire night. My guests had nothing but praise for Jack. He also provided us with incredible professional level candid pictures from that night.
The booking process, updates, emails and communication was all seamless and put me at ease while planning my wedding.
I’m blown away with the services and cannot recommend Jack enough.
Jack was wonderful! He was very enthusiastic the entire night and had almost all of our guest on the dance floor before dinner was even served! Everyone we’ve talked to has said nothing but how awesome the music was, all night. He really knows how to get a party started!!
My husband and I are high school sweethearts and couldn’t wait to get married. Our wedding was unfortunately changed 4 different times Bc of Covid. I am happy to say it finally happened this past Oct 3rd. Jack was our DJ and he was outstanding! He listened to all our suggestions and put his own flare to it as well. He went over the entire wedding schedule days before the wedding to make sure to 100% meet our needs and expectations. He surprised us by taking pictures and sending them to my guests and myself right after the wedding. We couldn’t of asked for a better DJ. If you need a DJ, look no further! Jack is the best! Thank you for helping us make our dreams come true !
Jack did such an awesome job for our wedding! He had no trouble getting people on the dance floor! On top of that he took some amazing pictures too! I was so happy to receive them! Would highly recommend jack for your next event!!
Jack Fahey of Above and Beyond Disc Jockey Entertainment is outstanding.
I have hosted many events; from Family weddings at my home in New York to private parties and corporate dinner dances at Country Club venues. There is never a worry as Jack is a true professional. He learns his audience and always plays appropriate music to please.
Your wedding or event will be perfect by hiring Above and Beyond Disc Jockey Entertainment.

Jack Fahey of Above & Beyond Disc Jockey Entertainment is FANTASTIC! Not only does Jack spin an array of music from all eras and across all genres, he voluntarily takes photos of the event and willingly shares them with his client and their guests.
I have used Jack on multiple occasions (i.e., wedding, 50th Birthday, Class Reunion, etc.) and he always manages to get the crowd up dancing and never disappoints.
Not only is Jack a great DJ, but he is a pleasure to do business with, as he is prompt to reply with any questions and welcomes any suggestions or comments that you may have.
I highly recommend Jack and Above & Beyond Disc Jockey Entertainment ... trust me, you will not be disappointed!
If I could give zero stars I would. He messed up the bride song for walking down the aisle, messed up most of the wedding party intros and started the father daughter dance without us on the dance floor. He was asked to leave the venue and was replaced by a guest that happened to be a dj. He was nice and left his equipment for the replacement dj.
DJ Jack Fahey was great! He did a great job with our ceremony music and when it came to the reception part He got everyone up on the dance floor with all the music choices he had! He was a blast! On top of that he took SOOO many pictures! It was such an added bonus! I was so happy to receive them all! Such a great man! Highly Recommend him!
Booked Jack after he was the DJ at another wedding I was at and he was absolutely amazing. He was professional, but fun and did such an incredible job. I gave him song suggestions on what to play and not to play and he followed them perfectly. We received many compliments from our guests on the music. He also took many candid photos on the dance floor which turned out great and have been so much fun to look at. We also booked the photo booth as part of our package which everyone loved. Would 100% recommend to others.
Don’t do it! Just got married and he messed up so much. He screeched out everyone during cocktail hour. Then he got our introduction song wrong and said our last name wrong. Our last name is like saying Miller.
He got my father daughter song wrong, Jack hitted on my friends and photographer. He also repeated three songs in a row. Like back to back not even spaced out. It was awful. We had a good time still because we got married but Jack was a headache. Nice guy but a headache
We hired Jack for our reception this past weekend at South Wall Banquet Hall. He was an absolute pleasure to work with! He played fantastic music through out cocktail hour and full reception. All of our guests had a blast and stayed on the dance floor all night. Also, the next day he sent us over 100 photos that he took himself from the DJ booth. Could not be more happy with Jack! The photo booth company that we used through Jack was also fantastic, great props!
Our wedding was on Friday, 9/7. It was absolutely perfect! Jack did a wonderful job with our ceremony. Our reception got off to a rougher start (he mixed up the order of 1 of the entrance songs and forgot my dance with my stepdad). The first mix up was no big deal. The 2nd one however could have been and I am glad he took the time to correct it. The rest of the night went very smoothly and all of our guests really enjoyed themselves, as did we! He played a few songs that were on my Do Not Play list but also played all but 1 of our requested songs. My only regret is that we did not start going over things until the week of. I wish we went over playlists and everything sooner to make sure everything was correct. Other than that, Jack was wonderful, professional, and his pictures have been a great way to look back and remember things before our real photos come back.
Jack Fahey was the DJ at my daughter's wedding and he was awesome. He kept the dance floor filled the entire night, and everyone had a great time (just as he did for my other daughter's wedding). He's not a lot of chatter and he plays lots of great music. Jack also takes great photos and it's so nice to get a preview when he posts them the very next day. Thank you, Jack!
DJ Jack Fahey did a great job getting all of our guests out on the dance floor, regardless of age! He played music that reached every generation and his music transitioned well throughout the night. We met with Jack a few weeks before the wedding to go over the day-of details and we were pleased with how accurately he followed the timeline. My husband and I loved his music choice so much that we barely left the dance floor the rest of the night! We would highly recommend his services to anyone looking to have a fun-filled wedding reception!
Jack was very communicative and made the process so smooth! He usually responded back to my emails in minutes and called me about a week before the wedding to go over the whole day. The order of the reception - from the speeches, dances, blessings, and cake cutting - were exactly what we wanted and the night never felt rushed but kept moving. He also sent us awesome pictures that he had taken the morning after the wedding - our family all loved them and it was nice to have pictures so soon while we wait for our wedding pictures! Thanks Jack!
We had several problems with our DJ on the wedding day:
1. He did not start the ceremony on time and he also wasn't fading in/out the bridal party songs as planned. It seemed he was too busy taking pictures (we had a photographer!) before & during the ceremony. It was a waste of the time my husband and I spent carefully selecting which songs we wanted to play (and how we wanted them played) during the ceremony and a number of songs weren't played at all. We went over the timeline in great detail a couple days before the wedding. This was beyond frustrating and not a great way to start our ceremony.
2. He played the WRONG SONG for our first dance (how does someone call themselves a professional and not confirm you have the right song?!) and when my husband went up to tell him he played the wrong song he ARGUED with him saying that WE WERE WRONG (as if we didn't know what song we selected - Thank You Very Much). That his response was that we didn't know our own first dance song was beyond insulting. So, we never got our "first dance moment". It really sucked.
3. He tried to end the reception ONE HOUR EARLY! Despite going over the timeline in detail a few days before, he played our final song at 9pm, again, taking away from my enjoyment of the evening by having to police his timeline. Yet again, another moment we didn't get to enjoy. And yet again, he was a little argumentative with me as if I didn't know what I paid for!
4. Our wedding was Mother's Day weekend and we asked for a particular song to be played which wasn't.
He played good music and definitely had people dancing but the things he missed and his attitude totally took away from the day and are things I am going to be sad about when I think about our day.
Hopefully crappy vendors are like rain on your wedding day - supposedly good luck for the marriage (although, I know I picked the right guy, even if I picked the wrong vendors! LOL)
Looking at other reviews, it appears DJ Jack is hit or miss. Our experience was pretty similar to other 1-star reviews, except we had a couple last-minute changes to the plan (due to rain), so we were grateful for his flexibility.
The main takeaway: DJ Jack is good if you are looking for a good playlist, not if you have some specific ideas in mind for the music at your wedding.
The good:
-The music he picked got people dancing, which was the main thing we wanted.
-The pictures he took were good, and it was nice to have good pictures so soon after the wedding.
The bad:
-He screwed up our names. Our last names aren't the easiest to pronounce, but even after talking through them a few times, he still butchered them. When he called out the bride, "Katie" mysteriously turned into "Ken." Nobody at the reception was named Ken.
-He consistently played music too loudly. We asked him to turn it down several times. Some guests left early because he didn't. When the bride came out during the ceremony, he decided to turn the music up really high. Everyone seated near his speaker had to yell to tell him to turn it down.
-He didn't seem to follow the script that closely. A lot of this might have come from the changes we'd made the day of the wedding.
-He played an odd version of the song for the first dance. We had picked it because it had meaning for the bride's family, which it still did...after a minute-long medley intro that doesn't show up on most versions of the song. Thankfully we had decided to throw out any choreography, as it would have been completely ruined.
-He forgot that the bride's mother had paid him already. At the end of the night he asked for money and, since the bride's mother had already left and no one remaining knew she had already paid him, the bride's father gave him another check. Once we realized what had happened, it still took lots of explaining for him to understand whose check to rip up.
All in all, DJ Jack is a good choice for music (we still get compliments on the playlist), flexibility, and if you want pictures right away. If you need things to go perfectly -- and wouldn't be okay with all of your wedding guests calling the bride Ken for the rest of forever -- look elsewhere.
My husband and I used Above & Beyond for our wedding. Jack was quickly to respond to us and helped us in the beginning of our process. DJ Jon was our DJ for the night and did a great job! We sent over our list of songs that we would love to be played as well as the songs for the reception in general and he definitely delivered and played a wonderful mix of all that we wanted as well as fitting in song requests. He worked well to rally up our bridal party before introductions. There were some parts of the evening when songs were played or for instance a toast was being made and not everyone we needed was in the room. So I would have preferred a bit more of an actual timeline so that people knew where to be at what time of the evening. All in all, everyone had a great time on the dance floor all night and he read the room well and kept the party going!
DJ Jack was a great choice for our special day! He was very flexible and kind with all of our song choices, especially with our specific music files we wanted to be played during our procession line. He did a fantastic job taking photos during the wedding- so we can relive our special day all in the same week! Thank you DJ Jack for making our wedding day very memorable! I would definitely recommend DJ Jack for wedding gs or other party events. Thanks Jack!!!
Jack was amazing! I had met him at another friend's wedding a couple of years ago, and knew I wanted him to be our DJ when I started planning. He played our requests, including guest's requests. Everyone was on the dance floor the entire night, and I keep hearing such great feedback from guests and how they loved the DJ. Jack was professional and fun. He also takes some great photos!
I would definitely recommend Jack! He played all of the songs we requested and even went out of his way to acquire music that he didn't already have for our reception. He also took a lot of great pictures during our ceremony and reception and shared them with us the next day.
We are so glad we chose Jack as our Wedding DJ. He had everyone dancing from start to finish! Our family and friends had a blast! His photography added an extra value (& we got them the next morning!) Overall, Jack did a great job !! We highly recommend!
Last night was our wedding reception and it was amazing thanks to Jack! He played all of the songs we requested and so much more!! He went above and beyond to make sure that everything went smoothly and that our guests were having the best time! He also took the most AMAZING pictures and sent them to us the next day to enjoy and share with everyone who came to the reception. We got so lucky with Jack as our DJ and we couldn’t be happier with our choice of picking him!! I HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who wants to have the most memorable wedding reception that will exceed your expectations!!! Thanks again Jack!!

Hired him for our wedding, it was a huge mistake. Dj Jack Fahey was in every sense of the word a complete NIGHTMARE. I will list all of his short comings and my complaints below.
1.) He completely ignored the playlist my wife and I gave him for our cocktail hour
2.) He completely ignored the transcript for announcing our Best Man, Maid of honor, and father of the groom speeches/toasts
3.) He drank more Corona than most of our guests. He was drunk for most of our wedding.
4.) He forgot our 'first dance' as a married couple. His excuse when confronted was, "I didn't know where you guys were".
5.) He made inappropriate comments to some of our younger female guests.
6.) His PA and speaker system kept cutting our and making a horrible blaring bass noise.
7.) For our last song/dance, he of course, played the wrong song.
8.) As the evening went on he got more drunk and played the same song twice in a row, (This happened on 5 separate occasions.
9.) He uses a free youtube converter for requested video files, Poor sound quality. Doesn't even has a Spotify app for requests.
10.) He was unapologetic and rude.
This man is a village idiot and a drunk.
"Above and Beyond Disc Jockey Entertainment" is truly the perfect name for this company! Jack DJ'd my matron of honor's wedding two years ago, and I knew then that I had to have him DJ my wedding when it became my turn to get married. Jack has real passion for the work he does, and it shows. He was so easy to work with and nailed the type of music we were looking for at our wedding. He kept the dance floor packed all night long! All of our guests raved about the music and had a terrific time. If you're looking for a DJ, look no further! Thank you for a spectacular evening, Jack!
Jack was excellent with which to work! Not only did he take time in learning the exact vibe we were looking for for our wedding, but he also provided us with great selections to keep the crowd dancing! I was impressed and surprised to see that, right after the wedding, Jack even sent us some awesome pictures he took. We loved him and absolutely recommend him for your next event. Thanks, Jack!
My husband and I used Above & Beyond for our wedding, and the results were fantastic! Jack helped us in the beginning of the booking process and was personable, straightforward with the details, and and answered all of our questions via phone or email. DJ Jon Arvanitis was our DJ for the day and did an amazing job! We gave him an idea of what we were looking for (pretty much a mix of classics, modern, different genres, etc.) and he delivered! He worked well with us leading up to the day and worked well with the venue on the timeline for everything day-of. Everyone had a blast, and people were on the dance floor all night! There was something for everyone, and most of our requests were played. He read the room well and kept the party going!
Outstanding job! Many of are guests commented on this reception being the most fun wedding they had ever been to. Thanks again for a job well done. Highly recommended !
I highly recommend DJ Jack Fahey. He handled every detail. His lighting package made the venue romantic and fun. His music and outgoing personality had the guest from age 5 to 89 dancing all night. He took candid shots and by the next morning I had an email with professional pictures reminding me of all the fun we had. Any event would be a huge success with Jack as your DJ!
Jack went above and beyond! The week before the wedding he called and took an hour to hear about what I wanted my perfect wedding to be/my perfect music and he absolutely delivered the night of the wedding. The music was perfect and everyone was dancing. People are still telling me it was the best wedding music they ever heard. I would absolutely recommend Jack. He is so nice and a wonderful DJ!
Jack was the DJ for our daughter's wedding on May 6, 2017 at the Chalfonte Hotel in Cape May NJ. He was absolutely awesome! The dance floor was constantly packed. When searching for a DJ, our first impression paid off. He was personable and friendly, down to earth, easy to communicate with, and it was obvious he knew his stuff! Oh, and by the way, he takes fantastic pictures too! He is truly a professional, and we would highly recommend him!!!!!
Jack in the best DJ around! He kept are guest's dancing all night, can read the crowd and choose the perfect songs. I am hot a big dancer in general neither is a lot of my family. Jack made this night perfect and the music made are guest enjoy the dancing. Jack's prices are very reasonable and he included lighting for the room at no extra cost. Jack also takes photographs at no charge and captures things that or paid photographer did not, this was also included in the price. If your looking for someone to make your night perfect this is hands down the DJ to do that.
We booked above & beyond for our wedding, Jack was great and answered immediately. He set us up with Jon, as he was DJing another event. We LOVED Jon as did everyone else. We had several special requests( my father had passed and I was having a hard time with the father/daughter dance) he was helpful & accommodating- even with several changes during the event. I would 100% recommend Jon & above and beyond. You will not be disappointed. He made the night run smooth & kept everyone dancing. Two thumbs up!!! One happy bride :)) thank you Jon!!!!
Jack helped us have an amazing party! He kept people up and dancing all night with his music selections.
Very friendly to work with, quick to respond to emails/phone calls, professional and polite!
DJ Ken Schaffer was our master DJ at our daughter's wedding last weekend, 10/22/18, at Harbor Pines. From start to finish, he was professional and thorough and prepared. He accommodated many request from the bride, the groom, and the mail of honor. Once the dancing began, that dance floor was full until the last song was played and the lights came on. He was a part of making our daughter's wedding ceremony and reception a truly magical event!!
Jack is completely amazing! We booked him after being to several great weddings that he was the DJ of and he certainly did not disappoint. Book him now! He can read a room and keeps everyone up and dancing. We can't imagine having anyone else as a DJ- Jack was incredible. He accommodated our song requests and blended them perfectly into the reception. On top of being a great DJ- Jack captured the most fun pictures and great photos of our room. He also provides beautiful up lighting and customizes it to exactly how you'd like it. We cannot rave enough about how much fun we had with Jack!
Thank you!!!!
I have been to many weddings where Jack was the DJ and he was my first phone call when I began planning my wedding. Jack was so easy to work with and he went above and begin to help coordinate my wedding day. No one left the dance floor all night! The music was great, the streamers he brought for the kids were so fun and he pronounced everyone's name properly (my pet peeve). The pictures he took, he provided to us were beautiful. I would recommend him for any event!
Jack really did a spectacular job at our wedding! He is extremely organized, which made planning the event easy. We spoke over the phone several times, and communicated via email, to make sure every last detail was how we wanted it. The night of our wedding, everything went just as we had planned! The music choices were perfect, and everyone was dancing and enjoying themselves. Jack also provided amazing uplighting for our venue, and went above his role as DJ and took amazing pictures of our evening! To top it all off, we received a link to the online album of pictures he took the morning after the wedding. I highly recommend Jack for any event.
We had our wedding this past weekend at the Seaview in Galloway, and hired DJ Ken as our DJ. I know of this company from Bridal Shows, as I worked in bridal for over 10 years and wanted someone reputable for our wedding. DJ Ken surpassed my expectations. He had EVERYONE on the dance floor the entire night. He pays close attention to detail and makes sure every generation of guests is able to enjoy themselves by a well thought out playlist. He received several compliments throughout the night and I would highly recommend this company for your wedding if you want to have a great time!

Jack - you made our wedding wonderful!! The music was perfect! The lighting was perfect! Thanks to you all of our guests had a blast!! And I am so thankful for all of the beautiful pictures you took as an added bonus!! From the minute we first spoke you made everything a breeze!! I couldn't have asked for more!! Thank you for being the best DJ ever!!! Xoxo, Stef
Jack Fahey was hands down the best DJ that I have ever heard, and I’m so glad we booked him for our wedding! I married the love of my life this past July and we had Jack DJ/MC our cocktail hour and reception. He did a tremendous job! He really knows how to work the crowd and get them on the dance floor. We had such a blast on our wedding and the music was exactly what we were looking for. It was fun and there was music for all age groups. It was the perfect mix of current music and classics. Working with Jack was super easy too. From the planning/contract set-up until the end of the evening on our magical day, everything went off without a hitch! Jack had a wonderful selection of music and anything we requested that he didn’t have, he was able to find. We definitely had some eclectic music requests (like we did a censored version of DMX for our bridal party’s walkout song and Iron Man for our ring bearers) and he was super cool about it and went along with whatever we wanted. “Above and Beyond” doesn’t even begin to describe Jack and how amazing of a DJ/MC he is. I highly recommend his services to friends and family, and hope that we have an occasion where we might be able to use his services again!
Jack Fahey was amazing. He is extremely personable, flexible, and friendly! I was a little apprehensive about having a wedding DJ because I can't remember the last time I went to a wedding and enjoyed the DJ, but from the moment I met Jack, I knew my wedding reception would be in great hands. He played great music and kept our guests happy and dancing all night! Jack kept the volume and selection of music appropriate during dinner so that guests could talk to each other without yelling and he read the crowd very well and kept everyone dancing. As a bonus, Jack shared some of the pictures he took with us the very next day and we could see how much fun our guests had! I would highly recommend Jack Fahey as a DJ to any bride, he really did a fabulous job!
JackFahey, "Above and Beyond" is the best DJ I have EVER experienced! Whwn you're having a special affair, you not only need the DJ, but an important part of the entertainment is the MC. Jack can customize the music to anyone's taste. He even asks you to list your own favorite songs.
The "Beyond " in his logo is very true. He took at least 100 pixes of our affair and gifted them to us!!! He sent them to us via the computer, and I had the beginnings of my album in 2 days, and they were GORGEOUS pixes. In addition, Jack is an absolute doll to work with. He helped make our wedding "a dream come true." I would recommend him, "in a heartbeat"!
Words can't express our gratitude and joy to DJ Jack Fahey for making our wedding personal, memorable and fun! He did it all...from organization of music, providing a sound system for the out door ceremony and special lighting for our reception. We were married on Saturday and by Monday he emailed us a wedding album with over 100 photographs of our day. This was such a nice personal touch. DJ Jack was able to please a diverse age group featuring a 4 year old great niece, a mature bride and groom, and my mother in law who was dancing with her son at the age of 83. Whatever your request, Jack is the best! He is truly "Above and Beyond" in his performance and his genuine commitment to ensure your wedding day is a day you'll always remember. Thank you DJ Jack for an excellent job!
Jack Fahey is hands down, no questions asked, the best DJ in the world. Music was my biggest priority when planning our wedding and I knew we were in good hands with Jack. We booked Jack because he had DJed our friend's wedding and I am so glad we found out about him. I literally cannot say enough good things about him. He was the most responsive, accommodating, organized vendor I could ever ask for. When we met with him before the wedding I told him that I wanted people dancing the entire night and because of Jack, they did. So many of our guests came up to me and told me they've never seen a wedding with such a packed dance floor from beginning to end. Our guests could not stop raving about the DJ. Simply put, Jack gave me the wedding of my dreams. Not only is he an amazing DJ, but he is also an amazing person. He is funny, kind, easy-going yet professional, and an overall lovely person to be around. The personality of my vendors was important to me and that was yet another reason why I booked him. Oh, and to top everything off, HE TAKES PICTURES AT NO ADDITIONAL COST AND HE EMAILED THEM TO ME THE NEXT DAY. The pictures that he takes are as awesome as the music he plays! If you are passionate about music and dancing at your wedding, book Jack ASAP.
Can you give more than 5 stars? Because i would! Jack was excellent. I was the type of bride that didn't enjoy the wedding planning at all. We spoke once when i first booked jack and once again a couple days before the wedding. Jack checks out the crowd and feels the vibes and uses his tools to make an awesome party! So many people commented on the "playlist" for the reception. Best party i have ever been to. I can not say any thing other than, if you can book Jack Fahey for your DJ, but don't; you are straight messing up! Not only does Jack run the party, but he took 150 beautiful photos and sent them to me in just a day!
What a great guy and professional. Thanks Jack!!!
DJ Ken Schaffer was brilliant at keeping the energy in the party. His playlist of songs was on point with what we had requested and the timing was perfect. When the wedding seemed to be slowing down with about an hour left, he organized a dance that brought everyone back to the dance floor. I would highly recommend Ken to be your DJ.
Our wedding was at the Ocean Club on June 5, 2016. We hired Above and Beyond for our 60 guests. DJ Jon did a great job! Everyone had fun and They were out of their seats dancing. I had several announcements throughout the wedding and all were done professionally. I also sent them a lengthy song play list which they happily accepted and played. I would recommend them for your wedding. Lisa and Lou
Dj Jack Fahey was fabulous right from the beginning. Made us feel comfortable. Gave great advice and listened to everything we asked for. Even when our venue changed, he did an amazing job accommodating us without any problems. Did an outside wedding and the sound was perfect and reception was amazing fun. No one stopped dancing !! Highly recommend. Such a wonderful person! Loved it all!
Jack did a great job at our wedding on April 29, 2016 at the Smithville Inn. Even though we booked pretty late , he was very accommodating. We met with Jack to discuss the music choices and the order of everything and he was open to whatever we wanted. We had a list of music we wanted played and a list of music we didn't want- he took it all into account when making the selections. He played a great mix of songs for each part of the evening (ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception) and everyone commented on how much fun they had. I highly recommend Above & Beyond!
Having Jack Fahey be the DJ for our wedding was one of the greatest choices my husband and I made! He made our wedding day so special and so memorable! Jack is such a nice man and is really talented at what he does! My husband and I had an afternoon reception and Jack was able to get everyone up and dancing the entire reception. I would recommend him to anyone! And to top it off, he even takes pictures of the day and makes an online album for you! It's great!!
We had very specific musical requests and Jack worked closely with us to make sure he found each and every song we wanted. Jack did a great job at the reception - the music was just the right volume and tempo depending on what was going on. Everyone was able to enjoy dinner and talk with nice background music. Then when it was time to dance, the music was fun and everyone had an awesome time. The dance floor was never empty! Jack was also a great MC and kept the party moving. We would highly recommend Jack to anyone who wants a responsive, accommodating DJ who is a lot of fun!
DJ Jack was great! He was easy to work with and allowed us to create our own playlists for the ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner hour. He read the crowd wonderfully and kept everyone dancing all night. We are still getting compliments about what a great DJ we had at our wedding. An awesome perk was all of the photos DJ Jack took at our wedding. He took a ton of good quality photos and had them posted the next day. It was the perfect way to re-live our day while waiting for the photographer's photos.
Jack has DJ'd many parties for my family in the past and we liked him so much we requested his info for our September 13 wedding, earlier this year.
He was easy to work with in advance of the wedding and was thorough in researching music types/song selection for the reception, which was appreciated.
We had a Sunday brunch wedding at a boat club, and before our own wedding, we had been to a number of brunch weddings with receptions where no one has danced. We love dancing so it was important to us to set that tone early on, and Jack was great -- playing a lot of Motown and 70s soul to get our guests swaying and dancing in no time.
Would use again and also recommend to friends for a wedding or other events.
Jack was the perfect DJ for our October 30th wedding. He played everything that we requested and he made sure to avoid the songs on our "no play" list. He was a lot of fun to work with and he made sure that everything ran smoothly. He took some really great pictures but he made sure not to interfere with our photographers. I would recommend Jack and his services to anyone looking to make memories and have a great night!
We highly recommend DJ Ken! Ken was referred to us by Jack Fahey from from Above and Beyond Entertainment and we are forever grateful. Choosing a DJ can be a nerve-wracking experience, but Ken did everything he could to make sure we felt as comfortable as possible. We are 32 and 34 respectively and were looking for someone who would be able to cater to a wide age range of guests (anywhere from teenagers to folks in their 70s). We were trying to avoid a super techno club feel but still wanted to dance all night and Ken gave us exactly what we wanted.
Ken was a professional from the very start, making sure we kept in touch and going over all of the details for the big day - right down to how to pronounce the names of the wedding party. He was careful to consider everyone's wishes and made sure we had everything set up just the way we wanted. Moreover, he's warm and has a great personality. We had a few challenging professional personalities that day and Ken was able to just roll with it and keep things completely professional and on point.
Most importantly - he kept the dance floor absolutely PACKED. Everyone, and we mean EVERYONE (all ages, etc.) was out there having a blast. It's amazing to hear from your guests how much fun they had and how excited they were about the music. Every 3 minutes you'd hear - "wait I gotta go this is my song!"
Our wedding day was magical in no small part because of Ken. Anyone would be lucky to have him as their DJ!
Jack was the most Amazing DJ ever! He kept the party going, and kept everyone well entertained! Anything we wanted he made happen, including me and my husbands impromptu duet of "Paradise by the Dashboard Light"! All we had to do was look over toward Jack and he had 2 microphones ready to go! Another awesome added bonus of using Jack is that he takes and edits photos of the whole night!
Jack really mad our wedding day by making sure our guests danced the night away. He was so organized and professional and played exactly what we wanted. Our guests six months later and still raving about Jack the DJ.
My husband and I got married this past weekend. We chose Jack because he DJ'd another friends wedding and we remembered how much fun we had and how we danced a lot that night. Jack did not disappoint! Not only did he provide the music but he set us up with a photo booth company as well (we didn't have to do anything and the cost was included). His forms are super easy and really give him an idea of what the couple is looking for. He flawlessly mixed my family's Spanish preferences with my husbands family's Eagles requests. We danced the entire night and the dance floor stayed pretty packed. We couldn't have made a better choice! - Katrina
Jack is the best!!!! He is a great dj and really takes the time to find out what your music needs are for your big day. He is a great mc and also takes his own photographs- definitely an added bonus!! We couldn't have asked for a better dj!! Great price as well!
Jack was wonderful! He is so nice and incredibly affordable. He worked with me to create the perfect playlist. He read the room and played such great music almost every single person was out on the dance floor, and they danced the ENTIRE reception! He also let us use his sound system as a last minute add-on for our ceremony. He took tons of candid photos of our guests for us to cherish forever. Jack, we can't thank you enough for making our wedding the best day ever!
We booked Jack's DJ services months before our wedding but whenever I had a question or concern, he was easy to get a hold of and responded quickly to emails and such. We found him on weddingwire.com where he had outstanding reviews and his price was extremely reasonable. The day of the wedding he arrived an hour before the cocktail hour to set up and looked very professional. He played songs my husband and I recommended before hand and also took requests. And as an added bonus: he had a camera of his own and emailed over 100 great pictures to us right after the wedding! We loved using Above and Beyond Disc Jockey Entertainment.
DJ Jack managed to make our special day better than we could ever imagine. When we first looked Jack up he took our call immediately and pleasantly explained everything he could offer. We knew right away we found our DJ. He was able to provide a wireless power source for our officiant to preside over a beach ceremony. Guests were welcomed to the beach by pleasant, beach-themed music, and Jack had us ready to go and organized. Any song we requested, he had for the ceremony. In fact, he provided us with songs that were PERFECT for our ceremony and most importantly, the recessional down the aisle. At the cocktail hour, wireless speakers provided guests with some tunes as they mingled before the reception. For introductions, Jack seamlessly introduced more than 20 family members and friends that made up our bridal party. During the reception, Jack kept the dance floor occupied with dancing guests the ENTIRE TIME!! He is an amazing person and clearly takes pride in satisfying his clients. We couldn't be happier with him.
Working with Jack for our wedding was a great experience. He was very accommodating and willing to work with us to make sure that we had the perfect songs and everyone had a great time. He included a great blend of new and older music, just like we wanted. He is very friendly and easy to talk to making us feel like we gained a friend in the process. Thank you very much Jack for all of your hard work to make our wedding day that much better.
Excellent, cooperative. Ken was great. Best price, called over 10 vendors. Kept our party going!
DJ Jack Fahey literally went "above and beyond" as promised in his company name. Not only is Jack an entertaining individual, he is extremely professional and flexible. He is seriously an expert in his field. When we had several obscure musical choices, Jack emailed us right away to let us know he was searching for them, and came through on every single choice. When asked the morning of the wedding to bring a microphone for the ceremony, his response was, "I was already planning on it." He anticipated our needs and went with the flow. When we, along with our wedding coordinator, forgot to get the video slideshow to the cocktail hour, Jack saw the projector set up being unused, and jumped right in and filled the void for us. Our guests were up and dancing the entire night! Every one commented to us how great our "soundtrack" for the evening was and how wonderful our DJ had been. He played all of my favorite songs and songs to please all types of people! Jack even set up some really beautiful up-lighting to set the mood. And to top it off, he took about 150 absolutely beautiful photographs of our ceremony and reception and emailed them to me the very next day. Jack was an absolute pleasure to work with, was tons of fun, extremely professional, and very affordable! Thanks so much, Jack! We loved everything and will send everyone your way!
We planned a super short engagement and we were so lucky that Jack was available to DJ at our July 4th wedding! From the moment I talked to Jack on the phone, I knew we were going to have a fun wedding. Jack was passionate, professional, and very personable from the very start and I am so happy we chose him to DJ our special day. Planning a wedding can be stressful especially when you aren't local, but it was so easy to communicate with Jack via phone or email throughout the entire process. Jack DJ'ed our entire day, from the outdoor ceremony to the reception. I was so impressed at how he was able to cater the music to all ages and keep everyone entertained and dancing. All of our guests came up to us throughout the night and said how fun Jack was and how much they loved the music. Not only did we have a great wedding, but when we woke up the next day, Jack had sent us all the pictures he captured throughout the night!!
Thanks again for a great night! We couldn't have pulled this off without you Jack!!
What can I say, Jack was the best. We could not have picked a better DJ for my daughter's wedding. My daughter wanted an outside wedding with the traditional wedding song. We asked Jack if he could rig it up and it wasn't a problem and the wedding took place just as she always dreamed it would. He played the right music for the dinner hour and when the party started, he was flawless. There wasn't a single moment that the dance floor wasn't packed and I'm talking older folks, teens/ 20's, and everyone else in between. We didn't get one complaint from guests but we did get an abundance of compliments. Everybody had a GREAT time and Jack is responsible for that. We can't thank him enough for making Amanda's Wedding a rousing success..
Thanks again,
Tom and Jackie Nelson
Jack was truly a terrific and professional DJ. We felt very comfortable with Jack and his style from our first telephone conversation. We could not have been happier with our decision to go with Jack as our DJ. We received countless compliments on Jacks behalf from our wedding guests. Keep up the good work Jack Fahey!!
Choosing Jack as the DJ for our wedding was one of the best choices that we made when planning our wedding! I found it really difficult to choose a DJ while planning because you don't really get a chance to 'test them out', and they really are so important. You can look at photographers portfolios, and samples of florists arrangements, but DJs can't show you any of those things. I chose Jack because of his excellent reviews, and after speaking with him on the phone, I felt very comfortable with him, and knew that he understood what kind of music we wanted at our wedding. Jack was always quick to respond to e-mails, and took the time to talk to us about all of our preferences before the wedding. On the day of the wedding, Jack was professional, classy, and not pushy or overbearing on the microphone. Most importantly, he played great music! Our dance floor was packed from the first song he played after dinner until the last song at the end of the night. So many of our guests talked about how fun our wedding was, and how they danced all night! The morning after the wedding I was so excited to see that Jack had e-mailed me a whole album of photos that he took of our wedding. My husband and I had so much fun reliving the night through the photos he took! I would highly recommend Jack to anyone looking for a DJ for their wedding or any other event!!
Jack Fahey is an incredible DJ!! He made the process of choosing music for our wedding extremely easy and never hesitated to speak with us on the phone. Amazingly, we never met Jack until the day of our wedding because we planned the wedding from Ohio, but he made it feel like we knew him!
His music selection was perfect during the entire event, but he was also very open to special requests. The uplighting and dance floor lights really made the atmosphere fun and exciting. Jack even took lots of wonderful pictures throughout the event and posted them on Facebook for everyone to see!! His detail sheet for music really helped us in our planning stages, to make sure we covered everything (even things we forgot about)!!
I would absolutely recommend Above & Beyond Disc Jockey Entertainment for any event where a DJ is needed!! Jack rocks!
Our guests were blown away by the fun and dancing at our wedding.....numerous guests told us it was the best wedding they've ever attended. Jack Fahey, our DJ, played an incredible mix of our song list to keep all generations up and dancing! He worked with the list we provided - even the Do Not Play List. We highly recommend him for any event!
Jack was so professional and really impressed all of our guests! We received so many compliments about the DJ after the wedding. He made sure everyone had a good time weather they were cutting it up on the dance floor or sitting down talking. He incorporated guests requests while still sticking to the songs that we wanted played. The day was perfect and we could not have asked for a better DJ. Thanks Jack!
DJ Jack was perfect for our wedding, he was so easy to work with and came up with great suggestions for our wedding. He kept everyone dancing all night long (I actually had blisters from dancing so much!). I would recommend him to anyone planning their wedding.
We couldn't have asked for a better DJ! He was a pleasure to work with from the very beginning, from helping us select our music to taking the time to making sure every detail for our special day was perfect. He did a great job playing a mix of different music throughout the night that people wanted to dance to. He kept the dance floor full all night, reading the energy of the crowd and took some beautiful pictures, sending them to me the next day! Jack truly cares about what he does and can make your wedding day perfect and painless! I highly recommend Jack Fahey if you are looking for a DJ!
We used Above & Beyond at our recent wedding and everything was great. Jack Fahey was a joy to work with, and always responsive on our while the event approached. We were a bit particular about the music selections during cocktail hour and at a few other points throughout the event, but Jack was accommodating and friendly. He was able to obtain everything we needed, and was receptive to the types of dance music that we did and did not want played. We had absolutely no complaints. The volume was just right, everything flowed perfectly, and he was very perceptive to the mood throughout the course and adjusted accordingly. He even snapped a few pictures and uploaded them to Facebook the next day. His prices were great as well! We highly recommend Above & Beyond for any of your DJ needs.
A friend of mine recommended I choose Jack for my wedding. Having never seen Jack in action I relied on both my friend's rave review and the kind of words written about Above and Beyond on weddingwire.com. Based on my experience, the reviewers don't lie! Jack is indeed professional, prompt and the best value out there! He asked me to fill out a form with song requests and genre preference. Based on my answers to his questions he was really able to grasp the type of music I wanted played and the vibe my husband and I wanted through out the wedding. Jack had a great energy the entire evening but never stole the spotlight. My only concern is that my wedding guests may have broken the dance floor... :) Jack's awesome tunes couldn't keep our guests in their seats! Jack even had to make a special announcement reminding guests to sit down and eat because their dinner had been served! Search no further....book Above and Beyond for your wedding NOW! :)
One of our relatives got married two years before us, and had Jack providing music at their reception. We knew that when we wanted to get married, we needed to hire him! Jack is an incredible man to work with, very upbeat and professional. Meeting with him to plan the music was very easy and he was able to make recommendations as we described the style of music we wanted. Before the bridal party made their entrance into the reception he even came out to us and double-checked his notes for the announcements. During the meal there was nice background music, but he was able to quickly get most of the crowd on the dance floor as soon as the food was eaten! He even took some photos and was kind enough to send them to us to share with family and friends. We are very happy with his services, and highly recommend him!!!
What can I say - Jack is the BEST. He was organized from the start and very enthusiastic about his job as our DJ. We werent overly specific about our wedding music, we basically just wanted him to get the party going and he did just that. He truly kept everyone on the dance floor.
He was a great "master of cermonies" announcing everyone as planned with the correct music/timing of music.
We are hearing great reviews from our family and friends about how great our DJ was. We would recommend him to anyone with an upcoming wedding, or any other event for that matter.
As an added bonus, Jack had his camera at the event and caught some really special moments on camera for us. He had them posted and emailed in a link to us the day after our wedding. That was so special to have some photos right away.
Thanks so much Jack!!!
Jack was awesome. He was communicative and listened to our every request all the way up to the wedding. On the day of the wedding, he absolutely rocked it. I used him for my ceremony, dinner, and reception music and he had a set-up in multiple areas of our venue, while still managing to keep everything running seamlessly. The dance at our reception was SO FUN. He played an amazing mix that had our guests dancing the whole time. Some of our guests were so impressed by him that they booked him for their own wedding next year. If that weren't enough, he e-mailed me 150 candid shots of our dance floor that he had taken by 11am the next morning! Book Jack. Seriously, book him now!!
Jack was absolutely fabulous. The name of his company truly demonstrates what he is all about. He not only did an amazing job and played all of the music we requested, but took over 100 pictures for us to enjoy of the reception. He was extremely professional and kept the reception lively and enjoyable to all. He accomodated all of the requests and we couldn't have had a better DJ. He was extremely affordable as well!
Working with Jack was a true pleasure! He is personable, easy going, and great at what he does! All our guests were raving about the music. He does a great job at noticing what music your guests are dancing to and playing more of that. He also surprised us, by taking pictures throughout the night and having them online for us to see the next day. I highly recommend using Jack for any event, not just a wedding! I can't wait to work with Jack again!
