Omg I can't say enough about Jerry and his DJ skills!! I hired him for my wedding on 11/11/22 at the Bali Hai and from the time I hired him he was very professional and made sure t...
o discuss my vision of the music for my wedding from the first conversation. I remember I told him my dad loved the BeeGees (my dad passed away 15 years ago) and Jerry played a BeeGees song after our first dance it really meant a lot to me. Plus he seriously read my crowd at the wedding by playing the perfect songs and even came out to the dance floor to show us a dance . So many times I would be talking to different guests and family members and would hear a special song play and I wanted to yell out to Jerry "Omg I love this song!! " lol but didn't want to be rude to my guest haha ... Jerry was also interactive with the crowd and had us play a game to win the flower centerpieces - everyone was laughing and having a great time! So many people came up to me after the wedding telling me how nice my dj was and how he played such great music!! I'm sooo thankful for him and can't recommend him enough! Plus Jerry played all the main songs perfectly at the right timing! - the garder song, bouquet toss , introduction song , cake cutting song and walk down isle song. Plus he even played the country song I wanted as my last song of the night I am just over the moon at how everything turned out that day and how smoothly everything went and a lot of it was because of Jerry. He gave me good suggestions prior to my wedding which I loved I seriously could go on and on. I'll forever be thankful to you Jerry for making my day so magical
DJ Jerry was the absolute man and we are so so grateful to have had such an awesome DJ host our wedding! He helped us with every detail, was extremely quick in his communication an...
d made excellent recommendations. Not only did he take care to play every song we requested at the perfect moment, but he helped walk us through the entire timeline of the night and thank God he did! He is super professional and knowledgable, so much fun, always smiling and really read the vibe of the room all night long. DJ Jerry brought fun lights for the reception, glowsticks/light up things for the kids and was ready with hilarious games to keep everyone engaged, entertained and dancing. We had the best time ever, honestly could not have been more pleased. 10/10 would recommend DJ Jerry Beck for your next event!!
Jerry is Awesome! My wife and I were incredibly pleased with Jerry and Beck's Entertainment as the DJ for our wedding and reception. We laid out our vision for what we were expect...
ing and he executed it to perfection. His professionalism and passion were definitely on display! And the crowd soaked it up completely! Thank you Jerry for being a huge part of our day and helping to make it even more special!
If we could give Jerry 6 stars we would!!! He was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the minute my fiancé reached out to him through “The Knot”, the experience was “seamless”...
just as he described it would be. Jerry kept the party alive all night at our wedding. His energy and overall attitude is exactly what you want from a wedding vendor. Not to mention his photo booth services were a fun addition to the party. We would recommend him to anyone in the Southern California area. Thanks so much for making our day amazing and lively!!!
If you are looking for a DJ that listens to what you want, takes the time to explain his process and reads your group during the event to keep the dancing going, you have found you...
r guy! My husband and I had such a wonderful experience going through the planning process with Jerry from start to finish. We had so many guests tell us out wedding was one of the most fun weddings they have been to in a long time and that is in no small part due to Jerry’s amazing abilities! We would 100% go back and hire Jerry again so give him a call, talk to him, you absolutely will not regret it.
Very professional and easily understood our vision for our wedding. His experience helped him tailor our exact desires into a great evening for all. He was very helpful throughout ...
the process and made me feel comfortable and happy.

and this resonated in creating a festive atmosphere for our guests. Would definitely recommend!!!
Everyone should have Jerry DJ their event!!! First I must talk about how much of an awesome and professional man he is. My fiancé and I planned a huge destination wedding weekend e...
vent where about 50 family and friends flew to San Diego. The wedding was on Sunday and I learned on Saturday morning at 5:30am that my DJ cancelled on me due to his unprofessionalism. I found Jerry's profile on The Knot and took a chance to see if he was available. I sent him in an email at 6:00am and by 6:15 he responded.
Our wedding venue was a unique one. We got married on the Adventuress Luxury Catamaran for a unique experience. Like with all of vendors we used for the wedding, he had not performed on a yacht and was not sure how to make this work. But because of the high integrity Jerry has he was determined to make this work.
So now the music!!! OMG amazing does not even describe it! Jerry had that boat ROCKIN! I told Jerry I wanted the atmosphere to be a party on the boat which just happened to have a wedding kick it off and he gave us just that! The guests ranged from 70-40 year olds and from Philly, New Orleans, Houston, and California. He was able to find the perfect mix of music for all and we did not stop dancing all night!!! Even my husband danced and he NEVER dances. Everyone commented on how great the music was and the vibe on boat.
Thank you Jerry from the bottom of our hearts for saving my wedding and making it even better that we planned for!
Jerry Beck was a pleasure to work with. The first time I spoke with Jerry on the phone I immediately felt a sense of comfort. I knew I was working with a professional who is passio...
nate about his craft. Jerry listened to our concerns, but was also able to communicate well. When planning our wedding I knew music was one of the more important elements. I wanted to find an expert who could help us design the right mood for a multicultural and eclectic wedding. We had so many compliments on our wedding music and mood. Jerry tuned into the energy of our guests and kept a seamless flow up until the very end of the evening. Thank You so much for your expertise!
Jerry,
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! :) You made our wedding day amazing and everyone was on the dance floor the whole time. You were always very professional, open to all music...
selections and vibes that we wanted from the pre-ceremony, to sunset cocktail hour, and then Grand finale. We really appreciated your flexibility and attention to details. Thank You!
I had such an amazing experience thank you so much for being our the Best Dj in a very important life experience Lizbeth and Dwigth craddolhp. ...
El mejor Dj que tude en mi boda muy profesional muy carismático y sobretodo mis familiares y amigos muy felices con la música nunca avían tenido la experiencia de ver cómo tu Dj Becks eres lo máximo
Jerry Beck made our wedding reception a blast! On our wedding day, I was extremely worried our guests wouldn’t be on the dance floor. I searched around for the best DJ’s to make ...
sure our reception was a great time, and we found it with Jerry. He knows how to get people on the dance floor! Our floor was never empty and at times, there wasn’t enough space to dance. We even had wedding crashers from the wedding next door because they saw how much fun our guests were having. I owe a lot of that to Jerry. He went on the dance floor and taught our guests how to do a couple dances. He observes what type of music people like and chooses songs based on that. He truly knows how to read people. I recommend him to any couple looking for an amazing DJ! You won’t be disappointed.
DJ Becks was the easiest choice for us when it came to wedding planning. We set up a meeting with him and after doing some research and seeing all of the 5 star reviews, we felt ve...
ry confident working with him!
Jerry met with us and got to know our music backgrounds. He was extremely accommodating and professional when it came to questions and different changes we wanted to do! His website was so easy to use to set up a time line for our reception. When it came to the music, we told him to go with the flow of the crowd and he sure did! He accommodated to our older attendees and younger attendees as well. He created a perfect night and setting for us! Not to mention, multiple family members and friends said he was fantastic! We can't thank you enough for making our reception so perfect!
Jerry Beck exceeded our expectations by far! He kept our dance floor packed the entire time and really read the crowd well. He knew the right songs to play at the right time. Hi...
s preparation before the wedding was excellent too! He was so helpful! We love DJ Beck!
We used Jerry this past weekend for our daughter's wedding and he was really wonderful. We met him one year ago to discuss the event, and he truly seemed to care about making it t...
he best ever. We had specific ideas, and he really understood the balance between helping the flow and feeling of the party and being overbearing.He was definately in the background, not the spotlight of the party and kept everyone on the dance floor. Kudo's to him for understanding what it means to be a great DJ!
Jerry was a great DJ he was great in helping me plan the music for my ceremony, cocktail hour and reception.
as title said
Jerry Beck is the most helpful dude in my wedding. He is not only the DJ but also our coordinator. He reminded us all the details we need to do for a wedding and helped us get them...
done. On the wedding day, he showed up 4 hours before the wedding to get prepared. At last, the music was AMAZING! All the guests enjoyed the music. It was way beyond my expection. He is very enthusiastic about his job and a fun guy too. Couple of my friends asked me for his contact info for their future wedding. If you ever need a DJ for a party or wedding, Jerry Beck would be the best choice.
We hired Jerry based on previous review for our event and no regrets at all. He was really professional, tuned to guest taste in music and I only received compliments from our gues...
ts. The price was really reasonnable compared to others I contacted. Will recommend definitely.
Jerry was the DJ our wedding, and was phenomenal from the planning and coordination, all the way to the reception. He was organized,experienced, and professional. He helped with c...
reating a timeline for the ceremony and reception, and kept everything running smoothly as the party went on. When my hairstylist had to back out at the last minute, he went out of his way to help me find a new one. Most importantly however, he was great to work with, and did whatever he could to make our day special, and unique. I highly recommend him, thanks Jerry!
Hiring Jerry Beck and Becks Entertainment was the best decision that we made for our wedding. Jerry won us over early with his knowledge of music. He was able listen to what we wan...
ted and understand us to the “tee”. During the meeting he was pleasant and attentive to we wanted. We did not want a “cookie cutter DJ”. Jerry had awesome ideas that incorporated music for our wedding. We booked Jerry after 15 minutes!
On the day of our wedding Jerry did not disappoint! Jerry played all of the songs on my list and respected our DO NOT play list. He added songs that were just incredible. The whole night all of our guests kept saying how amazing our DJ was. My grandmother even said that he was good and she is very hard to please.
Jerry kept the reception on schedule exactly the way that he said he would. I saw Jerry speaking with our caterers to make sure that they had our champagne ready for us. We had arranged with Jerry about a surprise special toast that we were going to do so it was important for us that things happened on time. Jerry made it happen.
We were already super impressed with the music that Jerry selected but when the dancing started Jerry took our wedding to another level! I knew that our day would be great but Jerry exceeded our very high expectations. Everybody was on the floor. My cousin who is a DJ in Chicago even told us that Jerry was the best wedding DJ that he had ever heard. My husband and I and all of our guests LOVED Jerry!!! We HIGHLY recommend Becks Entertainment and Mobile DJ. He is simply THAT GOOD!
Planning a wedding from Australia certainly had its challenges, but it was vendors like Jerry that made the whole process so much easier and enjoyable. He embraced new technologies...
such as Skype, was available when ever we needed him and boy did he deliver on the day!! He will forever be one of the fondest memories of our "big day". Thanks Jerry x
Jerry was the DJ at our daughter's wedding. Since it was the first wedding in our family in many years, we needed help with music and Jerry had great suggestions for every step of...
the wedding, from the quiet music interludes as people arrived and during dinner, to dancing that met the needs of all age groups, to the rowdy bouquet/garter toss. Jerry not only has a great online system for communicating your music preferences, but he knows how to read the crowd and everyone had fun as evidenced by all the dance floor activity. Jerry kept the flow going without being intrusive. We would definitely use him again, as Jerry played an important role in making the celebration memorable!
Becks Entertainment was amazing. Jerry provided the best service we could have asked for at our wedding. Everything from the moment we reached out to Jerry to the moment he sent ...
us off at the end our night was perfect!
Jerry was prompt, courteous and professional with his correspondence throughout the entire process. His knowledge and skill with his work was top notch and he provided excellent guidance when my wife and I were not sure on what decisions to make and at the same time respected the decisions my wife and I wanted.
Jerry kept the wedding moving smoothly and really set the tone with his expert music selections (We deferred to him to pick a lot of the songs). Our guests ranged from young children, teenagers, young adults all the way up to an older crowd. Jerry managed to get all the right songs to keep EVERYONE happy and dancing.
As our MC, he kept the wedding timeline on track and helped us throughout the night (We were clueless and wanted to be told were to go, what to do etc).
Bottom line, Becks Entertainment is the service to go with!
DJ Becks was awesome!! He was personable, professional and so friendly. He got the crowd moving all night. He kept them involved, laughing and made special dedications that made th...
e night so special. He listened to me and really helped me throughout the whole process. He truly loves what he does and it shows.
Jerry is a true professional and really knows how to keep the dance floor moving!! All of our guests had a BLAST at our reception, as did we.He is truly the best DJ in town!

r wanted to leave the dance floor. Best of all is that our guests had an amazing time :)
My fiance and I met Jerry at an open-house event at the Darlington House, which was the primary reason why we chose him as he is familiar with the logistics and venue. For the cere...
mony, he cued our music choices as planned, and provided wireless microphones and efficient sound systems, which all helped to ensure that the ceremony ran smoothly. For the reception, Jerry was very comfortable with MC duties; played great music during the dinner service (we had provided him with some guidelines, but didn't give him any specific choices); and he made our reception so much fun! For example, Jerry brought out nearly every guests at the wedding when he came down to the dance floor and taught the whole wedding a "special" dance named after our family name. Overall, Jerry was very a professional, reliable, and an awesome DJ. The power went out momentarily at the beginning of the reception, and Jerry handled the situation like a professional working with the venue's manager and our coordinator to ensure that the power came back on. The guests didn't even notice that the power went out. He helped to make a part of our wedding experience enjoyable and stress-free. My fiance and I would highly recommend him as your wedding DJ!
Jerry is experienced, professional, and thorough. He has an easy to use website for music requests and knows his music. He understand weddings and makes great recommendations. We w...

I would definitely recommend Jerry for great DJ and lighting services! He is very personable and easy to work with.
Jerry Beck did such a great job at our wedding reception. He kept the party going. This was a destination wedding and all of the planning had to be done over the web and phone. His...

Jerry Beck is a master at his craft! We were so excited to have him as our DJ as we knew how highly rated and recommended he came. He did not disappoint! We told him that we were o...
bsessed with 80s music, but didn't want it playing all night long, and he played the perfect mix. He also was very quick on his feet in changing things up. When the dance floor started emptying because there was a lot of fast songs in a row, he would throw a couple of slow songs on so the older couples would stay and dance. Over the past year, I think he has only not answered my phone call like twice and so he is extremely responsive. He made me a very happy bride!
We heard of Jerry through a bakery showcase we attended - he was doing the sound and music for the event. After speaking with a few DJs, Jerry was the only one we connected with a...
nd who seemed capable of keeping up with our extremely broad taste in music. He was our exclusive tech guy for the day - he did our ceremony sound, as well as the music AND lighting for our reception. The room was gorgeous and he did such a great job engaging the crowd! Not only did he succeed in keeping all the different generations on the floor, he hit all of our requests and never missed a beat =)
Jerry Beck did a great job as the DJ at our wedding. He was professional and played a wonderful selection of music that kept our guest dancing all night long. We received several c...
ompliments on our DJ and I would recommend him to any of my friends. I think that having the right DJ can really make or break the wedding reception because music is such a critical aspect during the reception. Jerry was recommended to me by both my wedding coordinator and a friend of mine that is a wedding coordinator and he lived up to our expectations. Thanks again Jerry!
He played everything we wanted and made it a memorable night!
Jerry is very enthusiastic and GREAT at reading your crowd to get the maximum enjoyment out of your event! We had a fantastic time and Jerry even made up a song with our new last ...
name and got every single attendant up on the dance floor!! He allowed us to pick all of our own special songs and filled in the rest with his own perfect selections! He is very thorough and makes sure all questions are answered long before the event date! Jerry comes very highly recommended!!
He was professional.;He didn't play the songs I told him to play when we were first introduced as husband and wife. He didn't provide the microphone for us to be heard by our gues...
ts, as planned. He didn't want to work with my brother-in-law who played the guitar for us at the wedding when he needed help with the DJ's speakers and sound system, as I instructed him to.
Very accomodating, met with us before our wedding to review music selections, mixed songs to our personal taste;Seems a bit disorganized, forgot our music list so he didn't play...
certain songs and played others we didn't like.
Jerry was AWESOME!!! He knew just the right songs to play to keep everyone happy and dancing. I would highly recommend booking him!

He interacted perfectly during dancing and was great with keeping the reception moving along. Jerry also did a great job of getting a feel for the groups dancing style if he play a genre that did not work he did not play anymore of that type of music. He is the best DJ I have ever seen/heard at a wedding or any other event.
