He provided uplighting for us as well that set the most beautiful tone in the room. They were both so enjoyable to work with, they made sure the entire night went smoothly for us.

If you want an unforgettable wedding, hire Jay Lavey as your DJ. When you talk to him prior to your event you will immediately notice the excitement in his voice to host your event, he genuinely loves what he does and it shows on the dancefloor...

. The only thing I wanted out of my wedding was to have a packed dancefloor all night and for all the guest to enjoy themselves and that is exactly what he did. I have been to weddings where the DJ has a pre determined playlist and they do not change it up if things aren’t going well, and those weddings always stink. This is not Jay, he reads the room and plays music based on the mood. The dancefloor was full the entire night and people were having the time of their lives. So many friends and relatives came up to me after asking where I found the DJ because it was one of the best weddings they’ve been to, and they’ve never seen a dancefloor that full for an entire wedding. In addition he also provides up lighting and the photo booth which is very convenient. Thanks for an incredible night Jay!

I cannot recommend Jay and CitySpin enough. He was super easy to work with for our wedding. After a couple short meetings with Jay (which were more for me than him) he had a solid grasp on exactly what we were looking for at our wedding in July...

of 2018. He captured the party with a great music selection, played all the requests I had at exactly the right times. This man knows how to please the audience with the appropriate music at the proper times IE: Cocktail hour and dinner time, yet still finds a way to build the energy throughout the night. The dance floor was packed all night at my wedding, and was the same for several of our other friends weddings’ that he has worked. (I keep getting the “hey, who was your DJ and do you have his number?” From friends with upcoming events) He now has the awesome and very user friendly “photo booth” which is actually way better than your standard booth. It works with an open feeling, instead of feeling like you’re taken away from the party to go do the customary photo shoot in a little closet. Additionally it allows for larger group photos. This setup with the new equipment is really nice. The convenience is nice too to have one vendor handling multiple aspects. I cannot recommend CitySpin enough. The Lavey’s are very easy going, laid back and super friendly people. They give you exactly what you want and are easy to deal with, punctual, and have all top of the line equipment. They left nothing to be desired and was by far the easiest vendor to deal with for our wedding, I cannot wait for July, as another of my friends has CitySpin lined up for their wedding. I know it will be a blast!

Jay Lavey is honestly THE BEST! His passion for what he does is immeasurable. My husband and I got married on a summer camp and basically did everything ourselves without a coordinator. While Jay was one of our groomsmen, he and his crew were ...

able to do our up lighting, set up and take care of the photo booth all night, set up the sound/microphones in multiple places on the grounds (i.e the ceremony, dinner and reception which were in 3 different places) shoot an AMAZING video (didn’t miss an important moment) and the music was so on point people were on the dance floor until 2AM! Even my aunts and uncles couldn’t sit down! Their multitasking skills are like no other and ability to stay in control and problem solve in stressful situations was pretty amazing to watch. While Jay is a close friend and you may think I’m biased, take my word for it- you won’t find another person who can wear that many hats in one day! Weddings are stressful, especially for the bride and knowing Jay and his crew were out there making sure EVERYTHING was all set took such a weight off my shoulders.

rning about this process but Jay Lavey (owner of City Spin events) and his team Bryce and Alex were too. Alex and Bryce have a great portfolio and now they can add weddings to their resume. They are young and innovative which is what drew me to them in the first place. Right from the start, Jay was responsive, organized and really listened to what we were looking for. We never felt pressured to use them but after just one in person conversation, we wanted to book them! Alex and Bryce were respectful of the ceremony and reception and now looking back on the footage, I didn't even notice them in certain places! They were professional and got great shots that we were able to share with friends and family. Jay conducts his business very well. He is responsive, passionate about his profession, and all around great guy. I'm so excited to see how they develop in this specific business line, if you are looking for DJ, Photo Booth and/or Videography services, City Spin is your team!
