Jay was an incredible DJ for our wedding! He knew how to read the crowd and play the perfect songs. He was so easy to work with as well. He was able to chat with us several times t...
hroughout our wedding planning process to help answer any questions we had. He was incredibly flexible as we made changes with music and lighting last minute. Several guests stated that they loved the DJ and plan to use him for future events too!
Jay was SO fun! He was so communicative leading up to the wedding, and made sure we felt comfortable with everything! He is flexible and so kind! We are still getting tons of comme...
nts on how he was one of the best DJ’s people had heard at a wedding. It was so much fun the way he incorporated music he knew we wanted and also added in some of his expertise! Would recommend Jay to anyone! From the ceremony to the reception, we couldn’t have asked for a better person to bring the party to our wedding!
To put it simply, Jay is the BEST. I knew as soon as I met him he'd do an amazing job and he still passed my expectations. I had people come up to me during dinner saying he was ...
already killing it. He did the perfect mix of pleasing the parents with disco but still keeping my friends on the dance floor, which is exactly what I asked for. If keeping the energy/vibe going is important to you at your wedding, Jay is the way to go.
Jay was the best DJ we could have asked for! He kept the party going all night and had everybody including the grandmothers on the dance floor the entire evening from ceremony to c...
ocktail hour to the reception. He played our must play songs at ideal moments in the night and the rest of the playlist was perfect for all the guests to enjoy and dance to. It was everything we wanted and more for music and lighting to keep the party going and make our night special and fun! 110% would recommend!
Jay is THE BEST! We had the time of our lives at our wedding in May and City Spin had a lot to do with it! I knew we had a fair amount of people who liked to dance at our wedding b...
ut even I was surprised that the dance floor never slowed down once after it opened up.
He was so good at reading the crowd and playing such a great variety of music. He is so kind and professional and is so good at what he does! Cannot recommend enough!!!!
Jay was extremely accommodating and professional and friendly! City Spin Events did the photo booth and uplighting for our wedding. We weren't planning on doing uplighting but we...
're really glad we did! The photo booth was tons of fun and now we have extra photos to remember our wedding. Their fees are very reasonable and competitive.
Jay is very outgoing and he knows how to feel out the crowd. He was very professional and punctual and he even helped us pick out some of our songs for entrances etc. He was a huge...
part of why our night was so much fun and so memorable. I definitely recommend getting the package with the photo booth and props and I definitely recommend him 100%.
So attentive and accommodating. He made sure the entire day was about me and wife. I can honestly say with out this DJ my wedding wouldn't have been as much of a blast! This Dj go’...

ps and they were right there to help you with any of it .
I decided to book Jay for my October 2021 wedding after seeing him DJ a friends a couple years back. He’s so good at reading the crowd and keeping the party going, we were on the d...
ance floor all night! He’s also a great communicator and tended to our requests without hesitation. I recommend going with the photo booth too, our guests loved it! I would highly recommend City Spin Events to my friends, family, even strangers on the street - thanks Jay for making our wedding so memorable!
I was so pleased with my decision to book with city spin events for my wedding. We had a small wedding but also we wanted to dance. Jay made that happen and was very accommodating...
to any requests I had. He played the best music and had everyone dancing the whole time. So pleasant to work with and made everything work exactly as I imagined! Could not recommend booking with him more. Thank you Jay!
I’ve personally hired Jay / CitySpin and I have also attended multiple weddings/events that he has done. He is a true professional and has a real gift when it comes to tailoring ...
the experience to each individual client. This isn’t that “average” wedding DJ where you hear the same songs on loop. He really knows how to reach his audience with the best array of music, great accommodations and overall 5 star entertainment. Above all, Jay is knowledgeable, a very likable person, credible with tact. If you need an ‘All in One’ wedding entertainment package at a competitive rate, look no further than Jay Lavey and City Spin Events.
Having Jay as our DJ truly made our wedding day! Good music and a crowded dance floor were two of the most important things for my husband and I when we envisioned our wedding, and...
Jay made that happen for us and more! He incorporated our music style while still putting his own spin and creativity on the songs that were played, and we could not have been happier with his choices. He also did an amazing job of reading the room throughout the night and playing songs that fit into each moment perfectly. Everyone was raving about the music during and after the wedding. We also got our photo booth through City Spin Events which was a huge hit. We would recommend working with Jay and Jenny to anyone!
Can not recommend City Spin Events enough for your special day! Jay nailed it, we had a diverse crowd of people all different ages and somehow he managed to get everyone out of the...
dance floor!! He was concerned with the songs that we wanted to hear and what we felt would please our guests, instead of only playing what he is used to. He was very easy to get in touch with and communicate with. He also offers a photo booth option that we chose and it was a HUGE hit! His wife, Jen, came with him to help set up and operate the photo booth and she was amazing!! 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. Weddings can get crazy, and somehow they managed to meet everyone’s requests and needs while remaining so pleasant and professional! Could not have asked for a better experience, thanks a million Jay & Jen!!!
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!
Jay and his wife were absolutely incredible! The music was awesome, people were dancing all night, he played everyone’s requests, and everything was honestly perfect. At every wedd...
ing I go to I always notice the ceremony music when it’s off. Jay had the ceremony music perfect! He even helped me include something in the father daughter dance that brought me to tears on how perfect it was. Could not have asked for better!
Hands down the best DJ for your wedding! Jay is incredibly detailed and takes the time to listen to your preferences for music and vibe you prefer for your night. We had him for ou...
r ceremony through cocktail hour and our reception - all 100% on point! The bundle package with a photo booth can’t be beat. There are also options for up lighting as well. Our wedding was absolutely perfect and our friends and family continue to tell us how awesome our music was for the reception! We had the entire wedding -200 guests - up and dancing throughout the night! Do yourself a favor and book City Spin for your wedding. You won’t be disappointed.
Jay was so awesome at our wedding this weekend. Being a COVID bride, after fighting with our venue for months and finally getting our deposit back, we planned a backyard wedding fo...
r 50 people in a little over a month. Jay rolled with it, despite the fact that things were so hectic that I didn’t even get the song list/ intro details back to him until 7pm the night before our wedding! Everyone loved the music, I LOVED the mashups, and the photo booth was so much fun. Multiple people asked me for his name and said he was so much fun and I agree! Highly recommend. Thanks Jay- we will be seeing you again!
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 from City Spin Events did an incredible job DJing our wedding 7.28.19! Not only is he accommodating to all your needs, but Jay also has that rare quality to read the room and ...
utilize the right music to create the perfect atmosphere. Our entire wedding was on the dance floor all night, and all the guests enjoyed the fantastic up-lighting and fun photo booth!
Much of City Spin Events business has blossomed through their wonderful reputation; people see the company's work at various events and then recommend them/or hire them for their own events. Jay was so fantastic at my wedding, my sister hired him for her wedding immediately. This alone says a lot about City Spin's abilities.
I’m 33 years old and my Fiancé is 28, so it’s been “Wedding season” for about 3 years now. We have attended roughly 15 weddings in that time. Jay from City spin was easily the best...
DJ we had at any wedding. He had a great feel for the crowd the entire night and no one left the dance floor. Not to mention the photo booth set up was fun, easy to use, and texted photos to your phone instantaneously. We are getting married next fall and already booked with Jay. We know we are in great hands!
City Spin Events was unreal! They brought their own photo booth to my wedding and the pictures came out amazing! It was a quick turn around too! My wife and I got the pictures from...
the booth just a couple days after. It does not surprise me at all that their photo booth got more attention then the bride and groom that night.
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 coordin...
ator. 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.
From the start we knew we had picked the right guy for our wedding. Easy to work with, totally understanding of our unique requests and also had some great input and ideas to help ...
us makes some of the decisions for the evening. Couldn't have been better and would recommend 10/10 times for any event not just weddings
Straight FIRE!!!! Always a fun time with City Spin! GREAT music and such an awesome personality. We have used them for our corporate event for two years running as well as my own w...
edding! Memories to last a lifetime! Big Love!
I cannot recommend City Spin Events enough. Jay truly goes above and beyond. He is extremely professional, reliable and knows exactly how to make sure everyone is having the best...
time. From the get go, he was communicative and truly listened to what we were looking for. City Spin will be one of the best decisions you will make for your big day - trust me!
We were City Spin events first clients for videography services and we could not be happier with how everything turned out. As the services were new, they were priced fairly and my...
husband and I knew what to expect and that not only were we learning 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!
