oughout the night for Drew. So many people said how engaging he was, and we would agree. Everyone stayed on the dance floor the entire night. We loved how he got the crowd pumped up before our grand entrance. I would recommend him to everyone!!!!

ing on May 30, 2026, we have had over 25 people compliment our wedding DJ specifically. He was truly one of the biggest reasons our day went as smooth as it did and he helped our timeline stay in line with our needs! He had our dance floor full all night long and has the talent and experience to be able to read the crowd.
Highly recommend DJ Jeff!
We cannot rave about Pete enough! Incredibly accommodating, responsive (even after hours or on weekends, Pete always made it a priority to get back to me no matter when it was!), p...
ersonable, sociable, just all around so easy and seamless to work with not to mention so much fun! Our dance floor was NEVER empty while Pete was the DJ. He is also a fantastic MC/ceremony host too! The one thing I loved the most is that he honored guests song requests. It can be such a hard balance to go by the requested list whilst getting guest requests and he balanced that so SOOO well! He was just so so nice to work with. Even the morning of my wedding day I had to message him a quick change/something specific and you bet he was there and on it immediately! We loved Pete with DJ Jer!

hey have ever been to!” He plays just the right music and can read the group and feel the vibes! He knows just how to bring the Party!

Pete Nelson with DJ Jer Events was the ABSOLUTE best! From our check-in meeting a month before wedding day through midnight on our wedding day, we knew we were in good hands. He wa...
s attentive, supportive, and energetic. When we had questions, he had the answers. When we gave him an idea for a game, he ran with it—and absolutely killed it! Our guests are still raving about how much fun they had—the venue turned on the lights at the end of the night and people were upset because they just wanted to keep dancing! Pete was made to be an entertainer and we are so glad he made our wedding day so much fun!

rsonalized to us. Despite a small hiccup in the dinner timing, Pete quickly stepped in and seamlessly resolved the issue, keeping the evening on track. His adaptability and professionalism were greatly appreciated.
We were impressed by Pete's ability to keep the energy up and the dance floor lively throughout the night. His music selection was spot-on, catering to all our guests' diverse music tastes. Additionally, the ambient lighting he provided really enhanced the atmosphere, creating a magical setting for our special day.
Overall, my wife and I highly recommend Pete and DJ Jer Events and Lighting Design to anyone in need of a top-notch DJ for their event. Pete's dedication to ensuring everything runs smoothly and his ability to keep the party going are qualities that truly set him apart. Thank you, Pete, for being a crucial part of making our wedding day unforgettable!

outside the venue until our final dance, Pete executed the event perfectly. He was professional and versatile, flexible until the very end. One of the best decisions we made was entrusting our night to him! Thank you DJ Jer Events and Pete!
DJ Jer was great to work with. We had a two day wedding (Indian-American couple) and the ideas that Jeremy brought to the table worked out perfectly. He was also great to work wi...
th as there was a lot of work that had to be done on his end in terms of organizing the music and different parts of both ceremonies. He told us he had never done an Indian wedding before but from my perspective I don't think anyone could have noticed. Would highly recommend DJ Jer! Our wedding planner Katie Murphy with Jane Rae Events helped us get in contact with Jeremy and she made a great choice!
DJ Jer (specifically Peter Nelson) did an AMAZING job overall in planning for our wedding. His attention to detail was unparalleled and gave us great peace of mind to ensure we did...
not need to think about the evening or sequence of events. Peter was also fantastic in playing great music at the right time, something hard to find in DJs for weddings. He even was able to engage the children at our wedding in a way that did not distract from the adult music or dancing. We were extremely pleased overall with the experience, which blew all expectations out of the water. Many people came to us after the wedding to tell us about the DJ and how much fun they had, with more people staying until the last song than we had anticipated! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend.
We can't thank DJ Jer enough! He literally was the soundtrack to the best night of our lives. He got our friends and family out on the dance floor early and kept them there all nig...
ht. The lighting was perfect and the photo booth was a hit with all of the guests. Everything was perfect from start to finish. We felt all of the best emotions that night and the music and overall ambience was a huge part of it!
DJ Drew Veurink from the company DJ Jer Events and Lighting Design was more than AMAZING! I don't regret spending the money at all! He was so professional and had clean humor. If y...
ou are on the fence, do it! I was so scared to pick a DJ that was so expensive and plus I had never heard this guy perform. All week long, my wedding guests kept telling me how they couldn't remember the last wedding they actually danced at and had a blast doing it! So, Drew, I cant thank you enough for the party you threw my friends and family, we had a blast!
Having Peter as our DJ allowed the reception to run perfectly! He was extremely professional, very helpful, and ensured a great time was had by all. Every single request we had, bi...
g or small, he happily took care of. He was very well-spoken and made sure the reception ran smoothly and on time. He was incredibly patient with our busy families. He worked very well with our other vendors as well. We highly recommend Peter if you want to have NO worries about your reception, someone who is professional, experienced, and knows how to work a crowd!! THANK YOU again!!!
Wow-what an AMAZING experience! We had Matt as our DJ from DJ Jer Events and not only did he not disappoint, he exceeded our expectations by far! He worked with us through the whol...
e process and made sure we had discussed every detail and left us stress free. The ceremony was perfect, cocktail hour was perfect, the dance was out of this world fun thanks to him! We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ experience and wouldn’t recommend anyone else!
Drew gave us the wedding reception of our dreams! I was getting compliments all night and never wanted to leave the dance floor.
My husband and I just got married, and Tony was our DJ. He did an incredible job, we were so impressed. Tony was fantastic at keeping to our schedule of events, playing the songs w...
e really wanted to hear, and keeping the energy high throughout the night. We were amazed by how many people were still on the dance floor for the very last song. We would highly recommend DJ Jer for your next event.
Nicole did a great job at our wedding! We had an unexpected weather change and she moved all her stuff inside for us quickly and kept everyone on the dance floor all night! Highly ...

to. We liked that he made sure to have every person that gave a speech or prayer that he knew their names and pronounced them correctly. When the music started to play, it wasn't loud where you couldn't talk or visit with people.
Jeff with DJ Jer was absolutely phenomenal! He was on point with everything he did and our guests loved him.
THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS!! :) We absolutely loved having DJ Drew on our big day. He made things really upbeat and did so well with hyping up our guests. We cannot recommend him eno...
ugh to everyone. He was well organized and well planned ahead of time. He made our day one to remember forever :)

mmend her to everyone I know! Don't hesitate to work with DJ Jer and make sure to ask for Nicole!
We worked with Drew from DJ Jer and he was amazing. We put a lot of time and effort into selecting our vendors--literally interviewing them. Within the first five minutes of our fi...
rst conversation with Drew, we knew that he would be the perfect DJ for our wedding. Not only is he so personable and has such a fun energy, but he also is great at his job of entertainment. He quickly answered emails and texts throughout the planning process and was on board with ideas we had about elements we wanted to include in our reception--such as personalized handwritten letters for each table and the bride and groom dismissing tables ourselves. The night went off without a hitch and things ran smoothly. He honored all of our requests--such as playing a variety of music earlier in the night, playing cupid shuffle when we were taking sunset photos (I hate this song), and playing early 2000s music later in the night. My husband and I had such a fun night and so did all of our guests! We decided to end our reception earlier than planned because we were so tired from dancing! Drew's announcing was flawless and upbeat and he had great music transitions. Literally the only thing that went "wrong," was that he forgot to announce last call for drinks and the last song of the night--but it was not a big deal at all, and as I mentioned above, we chose to end the night earlier than planned. Drew was an amazing DJ and an even greater person, I would recommend him to anyone getting married in the future! In fact, the best man at our wedding is getting married and he and his fiancee hired Drew to do their wedding!
We worked with Pete from DJ Jer and he was incredible! Pete's set up looked really nice and he had the dance floor FULL all night long and even got 'one more song!' chants to end t...
he night. Pete also did a phenomenal job as the master of ceremonies and keeping everything moving on time. I appreciated all his advice and expertise and I will always strongly recommend both Pete and the DJ Jer company for future events!!
Tony personalized our day and went above and beyond to make it special for not only us, but our wedding party and guests! The dance floor was never empty, Tony made announcements t...
hroughout the night to make sure everyone knew what was happening, and he made sure we were on the same page from MONTHS before our event! We could not recommend DJ Jer Events more!
Drew was absolutely fantastic to work with for our wedding! From our first meeting to the last song on our wedding night, he was so easy to work with and made our vision turn into ...
reality. We had a young crowd and wanted them all to have fun and be on the dance floor, and Drew exceeded our expectations and even got the older generations to stay on the dance floor all night! It was more than we ever could have asked for and we highly recommend him and will be recommending him to all of our friends!
