Both Caleb and Chris are very nice, understanding, eager and accommodating. My wedding was such a whirlwind that we didn't get to partake in much dancing, but all my guest said the...
y had fun and enjoyed the music. The music I remember hearing did meet our style. I really wish I had been able to enjoy it more that night. The only complaint I have that was kinda upsetting for me, was the song I chose to walk down the aisle to. I noticed half way down that I didn't hear what I had chose and I wasn't sure if it was the same song, but just the instrumentals? My husband didn't think it was, but I am not sure. I was told before the reception that there had been a mess up with 1 speaker and that it made us unable to hear the lyrics.. I believe there had also been a glitch during the Recessional.. The song we chose was to start off at the chorus when we kissed, which it did. But while our wedding party was exiting, I had heard the music skip briefly to our 1st dance song, but then quickly back to the Recessional. The only other hiccup was the father/daughter dance. When the music started, it was the song for the mother/son dance. All I had to do was look at Caleb and he quickly realized and corrected this. I will say though that we were not the best clients, the music was one thing that fell at the waist side in planning. We didn't realize initially all the different moments that required music. I didn't realize this until about 2 weeks before the wedding, and then I was scrambling to find other songs. I wasn't very savy with the doc that had been emailed for us to fill out, so Caleb accepted a screenshot of a list I made on my phone of the moments, and the songs for those moments. The day before I sent them, Caleb did advise me (in a nice way) that we are cutting it down to pretty much the last minute for him to put everything together and finalize. But honestly, the only thing I was really upset about was the song for walking down the aisle because that, the father/daughter & mother/son dances were the only 3 songs we had chosen a couple months before because we KNEW we wanted those. So for a long while I had been picturing walking down the aisle to this song. But it is only something I know and will move on from because at the end of the day, I married my best friend and our loved ones had a blast. Especially the kids!
I am not saying they are terrible or ruinned my day though, there was probably mistakes made on both sides, but I'm also not a DJ, so I don't understand everything that goes into putting music together for a wedding. My review is more so to remind couples- PICK YOUR MUSIC EARLY, so you have time to look everything over with your DJ because they need that time to make sure everything is seamless.
Chris is FABULOUS in every single way!!! He ensured our daughter’s day was absolute perfection. Chris is so easy to work with, flexible with last minute changes, beyond professiona...
l, kind, and really brings the party!!! We have two more kids that will eventually wed and we will not use anyone else for our DJ services!!
Chris absolutely MADE the party by DJ'ing our wedding! He listened to our preferences, brought the exact vibe we asked for, and kept everyone on the dance floor all night with old ...
school jams that kept us grooving. Guests are still talking about how awesome he was. What really impressed us was how he went above and beyond by purchasing lights to help my vision come to life, and by visiting our off-grid venue beforehand to make sure he could both get there and perform seamlessly. The ceremony music was on point, and he had a wireless mic for our officiant so everyone could hear. Communication was excellent before, during, and after the wedding. He even stayed an extra hour because people wanted to keep dancing and mingling! Highly recommend!
We were absolutely thrilled to have Chris officiate and DJ our wedding! Prior to the big day, we had the pleasure of meeting with Chris, and he took the time to get to know us on a...
personal level. He listened attentively to our love story and incorporated many of the moments we shared when he officiated. Chris’s warm and professional demeanor made us feel at ease, and he was genuinely committed to ensuring everything was flawless. As a DJ, he truly shone! He played all our favorite songs, included the dedications we requested, and skillfully gauged the crowd to keep everyone dancing throughout the night. We literally had people doing flips and splits on the dance floor! We can’t express enough gratitude to Chris for making our day so special. His talent and dedication are unmatched, and we wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking an exceptional wedding experience.
We worked with the CDJ Wedding and Events team for our April 2024 wedding and couldn't have been happier about the experience. We initially contracted Chris Jarrell to DJ our weddi...
ng and later realized we would also need the help of a wedding coordinator. Enter Ashleigh Haines. Working with both Ashleigh and Chris far exceeded our expectations, and we would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat. They were both highly responsive and engaged throughout the planning process - setting up regular meetings to go over our questions and event details. On the wedding weekend itself, Ashleigh went above and beyond in every regard - managing the needs of our vendors, family members, and the entire wedding party. It allowed us to fully enjoy the weekend. Chris kept the party going, which is exactly what we wanted. Even despite a few minor curveballs and requests from us, he took everything in stride and kept the energy up all night. Both Ashleigh and Chris received the highest compliments from our guests, and the day truly wouldn't have been the same without them. We are endlessly grateful to this team, and we wholeheartedly recommend their services!
