Above & Beyond Disc Jockey Entertainment

keaway: 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.

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!

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!!!

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!

hared them with us the next day.

y recommend!

! 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!! -Aly & Dan

r 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.

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!

t, 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!

r 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!

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!

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!

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!!!!!

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.

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!!!!

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!!

s 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!!!!

ht! 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!

t 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.

xpectations. 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! Lauren (Hanley) Carr

spoke you made everything a breeze!! I couldn't have asked for more!! Thank you for being the best DJ ever!!! Xoxo, Stef

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!

new 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!

n 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"!

n. 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!

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.

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!!!

that brought everyone back to the dance floor. I would highly recommend Ken to be your DJ.

re 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

wedding and the sound was perfect and reception was amazing fun. No one stopped dancing !! Highly recommend. Such a wonderful person! Loved it all!

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!

rnoon 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!!

ryone 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!

at 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.

pes/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.

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!

omfortable 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!

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!

t 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

eat price as well!

ion! 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!

ce 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.

de 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.

e 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.

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!

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!!

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

on Jacks behalf from our wedding guests. Keep up the good work Jack Fahey!!

e 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!!

om 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!

He worked with the list we provided - even the Do Not Play List. We highly recommend him for any event!

e 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!

nning their wedding.

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!

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.

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! :)

eeting 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!!!

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!!!

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!!

mely 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!

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!
