We can’t say enough great things about DJ Jodi and the incredible job she did at our wedding! From the moment we first spoke with Jodi, we knew we were in good hands. She took the time to really understand the vibe we wanted for our wedding—everything from the ceremony music to the reception playlist—and made sure it was exactly what we envisioned. She asked great questions to get to know us more, and had so many helpful tips and tricks for ensuring the music would be a success. I felt so calm knowing how much experience she has in this industry, and how thoughtful and knowledgeable she was throughout the entire process.
Jodi kept the energy high and the dance floor packed all night long! She read the crowd perfectly, knowing exactly when to play the perfect song to get everyone up and dancing. We had so many guests come up to us after the wedding, telling us how much fun they had dancing to the music (and still tell us that to this day!). The music and dancing was really important to us, and it was truly everything we had dreamed about.
One of the best things about working with Jodi was how organized and professional she was. She helped us put together a timeline for the night and made sure everything ran smoothly, from the ceremony to the last song. We really appreciated how she communicated with our other vendors, ensuring that everything was perfectly coordinated. It made our day feel stress-free and seamless!
The sound and lighting setup was top-notch, too. The speakers were clear and the lighting added the perfect touch of ambiance to our dance floor. Jodi was also great about making announcements when needed, but never overshadowed the party or took away from the fun. Her ability to mix genres and keep everyone engaged was amazing—our guests ranged in age from young to old, and everyone had a blast!
We are so grateful to Jodi for making our wedding day even more unforgettable. If you’re looking for a talented, professional, and fun DJ who knows how to get the party started and keep it going all night long, we highly recommend DJ Jodi. Thank you for bringing so much joy and energy to our celebration!

Jodi was AMAZING!!! She was super detail oriented and took a lot of care to make sure our wedding was everything we wanted it to be. Truly could not recommend her enough! We gave her a bunch of songs and a general vibe and she nailed it completely. If you're looking for an LGBTQ+ friendly DJ, Jodi is absolutely the right choice - she was great about using the correct pronouns and helped us craft non-gendered wedding traditions that were meaningful to us. Overall 12/10 would hire for any event!

We love Jodi! Highly recommend her to any couples in Maine looking for an experienced, organized, low-key, and fun wedding DJ. Not only was Jodi a calming and fun, understated presence on the mike during our wedding keeping things moving, but she was such a resource to us in the lead up to our big day. When you work with Jodi, you get a planner and DJ all wrapped into one package! The form she uses to keep organized about day of plans was a great resource to us in thinking through every last detail. We used the form to guide calls with Jodi in the lead up to our wedding, and they were some of our most fun vendor calls! She asks good questions (not only about music) that help her draw on her deep and varied musical knowledge to make recommendations that fit perfectly. And, when we said we wanted a cocktail hour with Bossa nova, smooth jazz, and a little Jawaiian reggae that feels like you're at an upscale restaurant, she took it in stride, shared in our vision and ran with it. And, when we were indecisive, Jodi knew just how to help us come to decisions and pick which ones were worth the extra attention. The results were perfect - all our guests and catering staff were dancing all night long, as Jodi took us from pre-ceremony, through cocktail to dinner, dancing and the party. Can't recommend her enough - thank you, DJ Jodi!

My goodness Jodi what a PHENOMENAL wedding night that was and you were such a key player in making our wedding dreams come true! We were so fortunate into finding you as our DJ and I hope that there are many many more people that get to experience such a fun time time at their weddings with you in the future! You definitely are great at feeling the vibes of your crowds and keeping the good times rolling. We told you we would have people dancing right up until midnight! If you couldn't tell by now, Jodi is highly recommended for any musical event!

My partner and I first met DJ Hennah aka DJ XO at our friends' wedding in 2023 and were immediately impressed by her song selection and mixing. We didn't know many people at that wedding (besides the bride and groom) and the two of us spent the entire night dancing to Hennah's amazing music - her preference for dance remixes of popular songs had us grooving the whole time.
When we decided to get married the following year, and decided to celebrate at the same venue as that 2023 wedding, it was a no-brainer that we'd try to book Hennah as our DJ. Fortunately she was available, and even more fortunate for us, her boss DJ Jodi turned out to be an incredible help planning the wedding - and not just the music; Jodi's questions about the sequencing of the evening forced us to get our plans in order down to specific details - because the musical cues depend on those details!
Jodi and Hennah's flexibility and communication during the planning phase was very appreciated as we took a pretty non-traditional approach to our wedding. They helped us hit those notes we were looking for outside the typical mold. We appreciated being able to dump a long list of our favorite artists and trusting Hennah to sculpt it into a reasonable playlist for the night. And as a bonus, Hennah loved a lot of the same music as us and said she had a blast playing some of her music for us!
Thanks to Jodi's planning assistance and Hennah's excellent music selection, our wedding was a huge success. Many guests complimented us on Hennah's work. We can't recommend working with Jodi and Hennah enough for your wedding!

We’re so glad we hired DJ XO. The dance floor was full all night long. We had guests telling us they wished the wedding lasted 3 more hours since we had so much fun partying with DJ XO. The music picks were perfect: modern and upbeat. She transitioned at perfect times so no one got bored with any given song. We requested to start the night with family wedding favorites and transition to fun dance/club and top 40 vibes. She provided exactly what we wanted and more.
We made specific requests about the flow of the evening and she delivered. She MC’ed only when needed and it was perfect. We wish DJ XO was the DJ at every wedding we go to! I spend way too much time reading reviews...Stop looking now and book DJ XO!

DJ Jodi was amazing! She was so much fun to work with and helped make the process so easy for us! She had the best suggestions for our final dance song and introduced us to now one of our favorite songs! She reached out to all of our vendors and coordinated everything for us so we didn't have to organize and make sure everyone was on the same page! She was so professional and great at communicating with us everything that she needed from us and was able to answer any questions we might have had! Our meetings were so light hearted and fun which helped make a stressful process such as wedding planning way less stressful! Jodi is a wonderful human and nailed that vibe that we wanted for our wedding! I highly recommend Jodi!!

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! DJ Jodi went above and beyond for our wedding. After our first Zoom meeting, I felt incredibly reassured that we were in good hands with Jodi. Not only did she keep the dance floor packed all night long with an amazing mix of music, but she also had this incredible ability to read the crowd and keep everyone engaged. Thank you, DJ Jodi, for making our wedding unforgettable in more ways than one! We got so many compliments about how incredible our DJ was. The transitions between music and karaoke were seamless. I even had a few people say “I want the soundtrack for this evening - from the ceremony music all the way through to the last song of the night. The tunes have been so great and have captured the two of you perfectly!”
What truly set Jodi apart was her uncanny knack in reading people and her sharp and thoughtful attention to detail. She had an uncanny knack to sense when nerves were running high during the planning process and even helped calm some jitters in laying out a timeline of our day. Her presence was like having a trusted friend guiding us through the day.
Jodi - thank you for playing a huge part in making our day so special!!

DJ Jodi is simply the best! We loved working with her throughout the entire process, and she brought such positive, fun energy to our wedding. She was very professional and organized in our planning sessions and communications leading up to the day of our wedding, and then executed everything we had discussed perfectly on our wedding day. We are so grateful we hired her, and definitely recommend her!

As one of our guests said after the wedding: “DJ Jodi slapped, no cap.” WE LOVE DJ JODI! Working together was an absolute breeze and incredibly enjoyable. We met 3-4 times in the months leading up to our wedding, and Jodi helped keep us on track, making the decisions that we needed to make on time and also telling us which decisions could be kept a bit more fluid and could be decided the day of. She worked with us to get the perfect music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception: from the music for our ring bearer & flower girl, my walking down the aisle music, the music we left to, and just the vibes we wanted for each moment. All of the songs that we wanted her to play (and didn’t want played) at the reception she listened to and did (and did not!) play them. The playlist was incredible and everyone was dancing the whole time. She even coordinated with us to get a giant round of Thunderstruck played towards the end of our reception! She also DJ’d our welcome dinner Friday night which added the perfect ambiance. She sent us recorded copies of all of our speeches and our vows. DJ Jodi is truly the best and we could not recommend her more!

Jodi was an absolute dream! From start to finish she worked hard to tailor the way our entire weekend worked and fit not only us, but our guests. She guided us through some unknowns as we planned our ceremony and we were able to bring a dream to life with her help. Our reception...was THE BEST party we've ever been to. Our guests are still raving about it and I truly don't think anyone sat down from the moment dinner finished until the end of the night. Jodi worked with us to build our playlists and music choices from the Welcome Dinner, to Cocktail Hour and into dinner and dancing. We've already had tons of friends reaching out to get their hands on her playlist. ;) Jodi is professional, kind, empathetic and hands down the best vendor we had at our wedding. She not only kept things running smoothly on her end, but went out of her way to help other vendors keep on track. If you can book Jodi for your wedding/event...DO IT. She got to know our guests over the weekend and really built relationships with us that made her feel like a friend. Every interaction was comfortable and organized as we decided how to plan the weekend. HIRE JODI.

Choosing DJ Jodi as our wedding DJ was hands down the best decision! She was an essential part of making sure our day went off without a hitch! From the start, Jodi was organized, kept in regular communication with us and vendors, and joyfully accommodated/helped with any changes and decisions leading up to our big day. To quote MANY of our wedding guests..."That was the BEST wedding playlist I've ever heard!!!!" Thank you to DJ Jodi and her team for helping to make our day so incredible, and so much fun.

We are so grateful we worked with DJ Jodi for our recent wedding at Tops'l Farm! From the very beginning, DJ Jodi showcased her professionalism, kindness, acceptance, organization, and genuine dedication to bringing our wedding vision to life. Jodi went the extra mile to get to know us as a couple and explore our hopes for the day. She encouraged us to curate music that would be a reflection of us for our ceremony and cocktail hour, which was so important to us. She helped us build a fantastic dance party soundtrack, and through her experience as a club DJ, she incorporated awesome custom mixes and really catered to our crowd. Many of our guests did not leave the dance floor and it resulted in such an epic dance party!
In addition to her exceptional DJ skills, DJ Jodi seamlessly integrated a level of wedding planning into her services that felt truly unique and invaluable. We began the planning process through filling out a shared survey that let us really explore and explain our vision for the day. We had multiple Zoom calls to discuss all of the details and thoroughly go through the wedding day timeline. She even took the initiative to connect with our officiant and day-of coordinator well in advance, ensuring everyone was on the same page.
DJ Jodi has an attention for detail and professionalism that made us feel like we were in the bests of hands throughout the entire process. It was evident that she was really wanted the ceremony and reception to feel like a reflection of us, while alleviating the pressure of doing things because they are more "traditional." She had so many helpful suggestions throughout the process to help us really host a day that felt like us. Even though we ended up needing to follow our rain plan and change a few things in terms of location and timeline on the wedding day, DJ Jodi was attentive, flexible, reassuring, and executed everything flawlessly. We felt confident on the day of the wedding with DJ Jodi there, which allowed us to really enjoy the day alongside our guests. Even our other vendors remarked to us how much they enjoyed working with her - so you know she is on her game!
We cannot express enough gratitude for DJ Jodi and the incredible impact she had on our wedding day. In our experience, it was not easy to find a DJ in the wedding industry that is so thoughtful and open-minded, as well as truly passionate and skillful at what she does. Jodi added so much to our special day and really exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend her services to any couples hoping to have a more thoughtful and personalized DJ experience at their wedding! Thank you, DJ Jodi, for everything you did to make our day truly unforgettable!

DJ Jodi is awesome. She is both low-stress and detail-oriented, which is perfect for when you have a thousand things you feel like you need to take care of for the wedding. She is extremely understanding and did everything possible to make the music at our wedding cater to what we wanted. The pacing of the songs, volume level, and overall ambience were outstanding, and she went above and beyond to let us know when certain important songs were about to play. We'd hire her again in a heartbeat!

Not only is Jodi an amazing DJ who was able to keep our smallish wedding on their feet the whole evening, but as a vendor, she was the most proactive, responsive, and coordinated that we worked with throughout the planning process. She really did seem almost like a wedding planner at times: getting contact info for our other vendors so she could confirm details for us, going above and beyond facilitating during the event, and walking us through the flow of the evening in detail. We were never left guessing with Jodi; she has a very comprehensive system of getting you exactly what you want, even if you personally don't know what that is at the start. The resources she provided in the planning process were invaluable. Above and beyond that, Jodi was such a delight to work with and is a fun human!

My wife and I worked with DJ Jodi for our wedding this October 2022. I honestly cannot say enough about how amazing DJ Jodi is. She is incredibly organized, caring, and understanding. You can tell she takes her work very seriously and wants nothing but the best for the couples she is working with. This is before we even get to the music! Our wedding music from pre-ceremony all the way to very last song was completely perfect. Every time I have seen a guest after our wedding they all compliment the DJ - "Your DJ was awesome!" is the most common.
Highest of recommendations. You will not regret working with DJ Jodi!

We worked with DJ Jodi and her team for our reception this past summer. Jodi herself was already booked for our date, but DJs Hennah and Lauren were able to DJ our event and were absolutely incredible. Though she wasn't the DJ at our event, Jodi worked with us for an entire year leading up to the date itself, helping us plan and prepare for our reception. Jodi's attention to detail and organizational skills are superb. She appreciated our vision for a non-traditional reception and had great ideas that helped make our night seamless and stress-free. She worked with all of our other vendors and was responsible for a really cohesive vision for the night. My husband and I felt zero stress going into the night knowing that Jodi had taken care to map out the night so that we could sit back and enjoy it. The reception itself was DJ'd by Hennah and Lauren, who I cannot recommend enough. Lauren was the MC for the night and kept everything flowing, from the speeches and toasts to the quick change between our cocktail hour and main reception. She also kept my husband and I in the loop between segments so we knew when to speak and what sort of things to say. She has a great calm demeanor that put us at ease, and though she made periodic announcements when needed, she and Hennah did a great job of withdrawing to the background so the music could be the focus and the guests could enjoy the night. Hennah was our incredible DJ. Each part of our night had the perfect music to accompany it, with lowkey indie/alternative music during our cocktail hour, softer R&B and pop music during the dinner portion, and then the perfect dance songs later in the night. Hennah is really great at reading a crowd and knowing what sort of music to play to draw them out and keep them enjoying themselves while still taking into account the couple's preferences. There was not a single song choice that fell flat. Hennah had no trouble getting guests to dance, and almost all of our guests ended up on the dance floor for most of the night, something I'd never seen at a wedding before. We had so much fun dancing that guests were chanting for an encore after the final song, which Hennah generously gave us. All of our vendors were amazing, but I have no doubt that working with DJE was what made our night the blast it was. Without Jodi, Lauren, and Hennah, the experience would've been altogether different. Afterward, multiple guests reached out to say that Hennah and Lauren were the best DJs at any wedding they'd ever been to, and among my friends and family we still, 5 months later, regularly talk about how great they were. I'm so grateful to DJs Jodi, Hennah, and Lauren for helping to create the most fun and amazing experience. Booking DJE for our event was the single best decision we made. I'd give them more than 5 stars if I could. Thanks for everything Jodi, Hennah, and Lauren. You guys are incredible!

DJ Jodi was everything we could have imagined and more. She was communicative and responsive throughout the planning process and just an overall nice person. After our initial meeting we knew we were in good hands, and that was all reaffirmed on our wedding day. She perfectly curated a playlist that included all of our favorite songs, while also reading the energy of the crowd and keeping the dancing going all night long. We had people aged 19-88 on the dance floor until the last song played, and even then it was hard to get everyone off the dance floor. She absolutely nailed every part of the night and made sure everything flowed flawlessly. We are so happy that we chose her to be a part of our wedding and couldn’t imagine the night without her.

Jodi is amazing! She is not only a wonderful DJ but also takes a holistic view of the whole wedding day. She coordinated with our other vendors to make sure our wedding was seamless and really, really fun. The ceremony music was perfect and we had multiple readers and live music at our ceremony, all of which she handled wonderfully. She got everyone out on the dance floor and mixed together dance hits, salsa, and a little bit of swing perfectly. She is professional, well organized, and really knows how to read a room. We were so lucky to have Jodi at our wedding!

I can't believe how lucky we were to have Jodi as our DJ. She was genuinely just SO GOOD at every aspect of her job. Our officiant said that she was the best sound person she had in 30 years of weddings, and I absolutely believe it. Her flexibility in the face of an unfamiliar venue was just incredible, and we really, really so appreciated her cultural competency around our particular brand of gender-neutral and egalitarian Jewish practice. And she tuned the sound to be just right for both indoor and outdoor (in the middle of a city!) areas. 10/10, would recommend Jodi again!!

We are so glad we hired Jodi as our DJ! Prior to our wedding, Jodi helped us think through all the ways she might support our event – announcements, activities, music – and listened closely to our vision. Since we were planning a small wedding (30 people) with a few folks who aren’t big dancers, a big concern we brought to Jodi was having a lackluster dance floor. Jodi helped us think through strategies to create conditions for a robust dance floor, and then kept everyone dancing for most of the night with amazing song choices. We highly recommend her!

Jodi is a fantastic DJ who kept the party going from beginning to end at mine and my husband's wedding! Working with her was a great and stress-free experience. I loved talking about music with her in our pre-wedding meetings. Music is very important to me and my husband, so we knew we wanted a DJ who would incorporate our style and add some of her own. Jodi did all of that and more - after I sent her a much bigger than planned song list, we collaborated together on what ended up becoming a pumped-up, fun wedding playlist. We never saw the dance floor empty for too long!
Jodi also took some time with me during the wedding to share when she would play some of mine and my husband's favorite tracks, taking the temperature of the room to maximize the moment. She is truly methodical and careful about her work - I couldn't have trusted our wedding party in better hands. Immense thanks to Jodi - I will never think of my husband's favorite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles song in the same way again.

Jodi was incredible to work with! We hired Jodi for our wedding on 10/17/21 and are so happy we did. From our first emails and calls through the wedding day itself, she was thoughtful, highly experienced, and responsive. Her expertise and calmness made the planning process simple, freeing us up to actually get excited about our day.
We were nervous about choosing a DJ at first because we didn’t have organized dancing at our wedding and wanted to have a cocktail party atmosphere for most of the evening instead. Jodi understood what we were looking for right away and came up with excellent music recommendations to match our goals. During the wedding itself, she put us at ease by checking in regularly to make sure that we were comfortable with the music selections and tone of the event. She also did an outstanding job sorting songs from our playlist so that they’d be played at the perfect moment. Overall, she went above and beyond to make sure we could relax and enjoy ourselves instead of worrying about the music.
We know that your vendors can make or break a wedding, and we’re so grateful for Jodi for being everything we could have asked for in a DJ.

From being extremely detailed, organized and easy to communicate with during the planning process to perfectly planning and executing the flow of our wedding day, we can not recommend her enough. She made us feel so at ease and was truly an instrumental part of us being able to have the wedding we always dreamed of. Countless guests even commented on how amazing our DJ was. We really can’t say enough great things about her! Thank you so much Jodi, we are eternally grateful!

Jodi is an incredible DJ and we are so thankful she was there. She helped us through setting up event times, selecting music, and just making a good flow for the night. She even helped out by handling the precession music for the ceremony. She honestly made us feel a lot less nervous about the event because we felt like we were in good hands. Can't recommend her enough! Thanks, Jodi!

So grateful we came across and chose Jodi to DJ our wedding. Easily the best vendor of the day! But not only that, for months leading up to our wedding. We didn’t have a planner but with Jodi you do not need one! She is extremely organized, communicative, and professional. She handled coordinating the day of timeline with our venue so we never had to worry about a thing throughout the night. Everything ran so smoothly! Music was very important to us to have a full dance floor. I sent her a playlist and she added her own too that fit our style! We absolutely would choose Jodi again and are incredibly grateful. Especially during the pandemic, to know we had someone to rely on was a huge relief. Can’t thank you enough Jodi!

If I could give Jodi more stars, I would! I cannot express how awesome Jodi was for our wedding. COVID threw a wrench into our original plans but silver lining, it allowed Jodi to be able to DJ at our wedding and I couldn’t have been happier. We didn’t have a wedding coordinator but Jodi took care of everything! She put together a timeline and shared it with our vendors. Day of the wedding, she had everything organized and kept things running smoothly. I literally didn’t have to worry about a thing. Aside from her organizational skills, her music was top notch and kept the energy up and kept everyone on the dance floor. All of our guests approached us after the wedding raving about Jodi. She took the time to get to know us and what we were looking for. 10/10 would recommend and wishing we could have a wedding every year so Jodi could come throw another awesome party!!

We had the pleasure of working with DJ Jodi for our wedding on 8/1/20. Jodi exceeded all our expectations from start to finish. From our first interaction to our last, she was an amazing support and guide. I never anticipated when I hired Jodi what a critical role she would play in helping me to plan out the entire day's events. Jodi listened closely to our vision and helped to build out a schedule for the day from the moment the guests arrived to the moment they departed. Jodi was an event planner, MC, and DJ all rolled into one! She is passionate about what she does and it shows! Jodi listened closely to our ideas and came up with music that was simply perfect. We had many questions along the way and she was always timely, helpful, and responsive. Planning a wedding in the middle of a pandemic posed many challenges and pivots in our plans, Jodi was flexible, empathetic and always provided solutions to our problems. The music was absolutely awesome. We danced the ENTIRE time. There was never a dull moment.
If you are looking to work with a true professional, and a caring and kind vendor, I highly recommend contacting DJ Jodi.

DJ Jodi is AWESOME! My wife and I learned of her through our photographer (Maureen Cotton - also highly recommend). We could not have been happier with DJ Jodi. She is well organized with the questions/forms she provides up front to get to know us better. She provides lists of popular music to help give ideas. And she spent time talking directly with us to make sure the whole day went exactly as we wanted. She takes ownership of the process end to end by reaching out to our venue, our officiant and our photographer to make sure everyone was on the same page about the agenda and timing of events so it all flowed smoothly. We never once worried about the sound during the ceremony and she was on point 100% in microphones for toasts etc.
As for the actual reception - what a party! The music was awesome and heard frequently from our guests that they they had a hard time leaving the dance floor because the next great song would come on. Everyone was there to celebrate with us and we danced the night away until closing time. Our guests still talk about what a great time they had even now months later and how it was one of the best weddings they've ever been to. DJ Jodi played a big role in that and we are forever thankful to her for it. Can't wait to see her again sometime soon!

We hired Jodi for our wedding in Maine in September 2019. We were immediately impressed with her level of detail and event planning. She gave us an incredibly helpful timeline and list of questions to get to know us and made sure she was fully aware of our do's/don'ts for the wedding music. We could tell immediately that Jodi was very skilled and a reliable resource for us. Jodi was proactive during our planning process, offering insights and tips from her years of experience in the industry. She made us feel comfortable and confident on the day-of and was always willing to help us achieve our overall vision for the wedding. Music and food were the most important factors for our wedding and Jodi was absolutely the right choice to make sure our music dreams were realized. We had a very particular list of music we wanted and she incorporated them perfectly along with her suggestions to make sure the dance floor was full and everyone really enjoyed themselves. Overall it was such a wonderful experience that I recommended her to my sister getting married this year and she is now booked for her wedding! We really can't stress enough how great our experience with Jodi was - highly, highly recommend!

Jodi was absolutely amazing at our wedding. During our pre-meeting she was well prepared, shared her thoughts on what has worked best for her, and was also just really easy to talk to and get along with. We told her that we love dancing and told her that the floor would be packed the entire night...and it was! She read the crowd perfectly and kept the dancing going. So many guest were blown away by her playlist. I would highly recommend booking DJ Jodi.

We hired DJ Jodi Entertainment for our big day, and are so SO happy that we did. Jodi remained in constant contact from the moment we booked her up until our special day. She has every moment planned out to make sure that we don't have to worry about anything on the day of. She was receptive and responsive to our wishes and made sure to really understand the vibe we were going for! Having a large family with many different generations, we wanted music that encompassed that so everyone had something they could dance to and enjoy. DJ Hennah was our DJ the day of, and catered to our every need. She was able to easily read the vibe of the room and cater a killer playlist that met the level of energy on the dance floor. She was open to any song requests and was able to be flexible to fit our needs the day of. We find ourselves reminiscing about our wedding day because it was the most magical day ever. DJ Jodi Entertainment was a huge part of that, and we can't thank them enough for everything they did for us!

Dj Jodi was a treat to work with throughout the entire process. She was able to orchestrate the music selection seamlessly using the input that we provided her - which is a real treat given how many moving pieces there are in planning a wedding. On the day of, she helped make sure that all the equipment was working seamlessly, provided great introductions and transitions, and made us very happy.

We hired DJ Jodi Entertainment, and had DJ Hennah as the actual DJ at our wedding. We had been to a wedding in the past where Hennah was the DJ and we thought she was incredible, and everyone had such an amazing time on the dance floor, and she is really a vibe creator. The reason for 4 stars is that we had a slight glitch that my sister (the maid of honor) had background music to go with her speech, and Jodi had confirmed 2 days before that they had the music, and everything was set up. Then when she went up to give the speech Hennah had no idea what she was talking about, and didn’t have the music ready at all. They quickly resolved it, but just pulling something up on youtube, but I’m not sure how the communication got lost between Hennah and Jodi. Besides this small glitch, Jodi was incredible to work with leading up to the wedding. She is so organized and great at making suggestions on how to help the wedding run smoothly. And Hennah was amazing at reading the dance floor and choosing great music that we loved. Everyone had such a fun time at our wedding and the dance floor was bumping!
Vendor response 12/18/2019
K + M,
Thank-you so much for taking the time to write a review! I do apologize for th...
e mistake around the background music. I take full responsibility for that. I started drafting an email to Hennah on my new laptop and had to finish it on my old one, as it had the song I needed to attach to the email.
When Hennah text me during the wedding to ask about it, I told her I had sent an email. With all of the prepping and getting ready that weekend, I must have thought I had sent it. I do apologize for the mistake. It's very unlike me to lose sight of something so important.
I'm happy to hear the rest of the day and your experience working with us was great! Wishing you both the very best!

DJ Jodi went above and beyond for our wedding. Not only was she a DJ, but in some ways she also acted as a wedding planner, giving us invaluable advice about timing, music, and introductions. In the lead-up to the wedding, DJ Jodi was always responsive to our needs and even took a call from me when she was on vacation. On the day of the wedding, she was professional, courteous to our guests and took all the requests she could. I would recommend DJ Jodi for any event, without reservations!

Out. Of. This. World. We worked with DJ Jodi for our wedding this past weekend and she knocked it out of the park. From the prep beforehand, to communicating with the venue, to managing our complicated bi-cultural (US/English - Colombian/Latin) playlists, she nailed it every step of the way. Jodi turned out to be our de facto wedding planner, as she works through extremely helpful planning documents with you ahead of the event to make sure things flow without feeling forced. She kept really careful notes on exactly what we wanted, but also managed to get more than just the technical elements - actually capturing the "essence" of us and our event. She managed our toasts and special elements (like la hora loca) seamlessly and with flexibility, given we were playing much of the evening by ear based on when the kitchen would be ready with dinner and late-night food. The main thing we wanted from our wedding was for people to dance their faces off - and that's exactly what happened - even beyond our expectations. The music was impeccably mixed. Song order brought the party along perfectly. The sound was excellent. Jodi played for 9 hours and was on point and happy the entire time. Jodi is also just a super nice and cool human! Very professional without being impersonal or stuffy. We loved having her around. Not only did WE love her, but our guests cannot stop raving about the dance party. When people tell you "this is the best party I've been to in YEARS," and "the music is LITERALLY perfect" you know your DJ is killing the game. We never write reviews - but Jodi cannot go unrecognized. Hire her. Period. You'll be absolutely thrilled you did, just like us.

DJ Jodi was amazing.
Even at ceremony time venue coordinator was not there and Jodi took responsibility for help to us. Her timing about everything and her performance were great.
If i had a chance to buy more star for this review, I would buy and give more then 5 star.
You are the MVP Jodi!
Thank you so much for everything again.

Jodi Wasn’t just the best DJ ever, she was a partner through the whole process! When my wedding venue CANCELLED 3 months before my wedding, Jodi was the calm voice I needed. Helped me every step of the way pull my wedding together which ended up being at my DREAM venue and a total fairytale wedding. She is unbelievably organized and pays all the attention to detail while still being able to move with the vibes and make adjustments. I’ll never forget what she did for us and keeping me sane. I wish I had 10 more weddings to hire her for! 😉

You'd be crazy not to book DJ Jodi for your wedding! She was absolutely fantastic! Jodi was incredibly organized and walked us through the wedding timeline over multiple phone conversations, I felt so relieved knowing she had it all planned out and took charge of the day and even reached out to many of our vendors to coordinate.
Our guests immediately started dancing as soon as the dance music started and we danced the whole night through. She played all our must haves and catered to some epic requests from our guests as well. Two memories stand out to me that are worth mentioning. First, the morning of the wedding, I emailed Jodi asking her to play the new Taylor Swift song "Lover" (which had just been released the night before) and knew it was a very last minute request. However, at the wedding, she surprised me and played the new song! It made me so happy! Secondly, as the last song of the night was played, many of our friends started chanting "5 more songs, 5 more songs, 5 more songs..." which was a huge compliment to the DJ as no one wanted to stop dancing. Overall, the whole night was a huge success and DJ Jodi was key to making it all come together.

One of the must haves at our wedding was an awesome dance party and DJ Jodi certainly delivered! We gave Jodi a list of our favorite songs and she made sure to play them as well as some crowd pleasers that she chose. All our guests had a great time and the dance floor stayed full the whole reception! DJ Jodi also looked like she was having a great time and was lip syncing to all of the songs! Before the wedding she worked closely with us to make a wedding day timeline, and she kept the wedding going on track. During the planning process she was super helpful because she brought attention to things we hadn't thought of yet. She was organized and helped everything run smoothly!

DJ Jodi ROCKS! Jodi also works with a few other DJs but we hired Jodi herself and are so glad we did. From the beginning, she was a delight to work with and from your first meeting with her you can tell that she will bring warmth and happiness to your wedding.
We were very picky in the music we wanted played and sent her very complicated requests of different songs for sections of the wedding. We only hired her for the reception but still had a long breakdown of songs to be played during entrances, dances, dinner, and the reception; she made it easy for us to include songs she wasn’t originally aware of and ensured that we were aligned on what needed to be played. She also worked with our venue coordinator to align on the timeline of the day.
Day-of, Jodi was a delight. She communicated with us only when necessary (which is great since weddings are very overwhelming, trust us!) and made sure that we knew where we needed to be for the moments we had discussed with her in advance. She was also attentive to the vibe of the room and guests’ requests. She used the microphone judiciously, speaking when needed to direct our guests or rev the audience but never veering into cheesy-wedding-DJ territory.
We highly recommend DJ Jodi!

Jodi is amazing!!!! We felt so comfortable with her from day one. She's thorough, detailed and genuinely good-hearted. We hired a DJ and ended up with friend. She orchestrated everything from the wedding timeline to the delicate matter of a paper lantern send off to honor the passing of our premature infant son. It was so relieving to have someone happy to go with the flow even with last minute changes. Book DJ Jodi and you won't be disappointed.

We found Jodi in a search to find a unique DJ that represented us and our wedding better than the average entertainment company. She was the first and only DJ we met with because we were sold instantly. We were blown away in our first meeting - she was kind, extremely organized and very passionate about her profession. She honestly helped us organize and create a flow and vibe for our day better than our venue and wedding planner! On our big day she continued to exceed expectations. We hit her with last minute changes to the ceremony and she jumped on board without hesitation! Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had at our wedding 6 weeks later. Hire Jodi! She is someone you can trust with your wedding completely, and there’s nothing sweeter than being able to leave your stress behind and have fun. She will bring the perfect energy to your day as well as the perfect music! Thank you Jodi for making our wedding the best day ever!

We loved working with DJ Jodi from our first meeting, through our wedding day, and following up after the event!
Jodi immediately set herself apart when we requested information on her services and she invited us to meet in person to get to know us and share her style with us.
From that first time we sat down with her she brought a sense of calm to our planning process. She had an in-depth understanding of every step to consider for the ceremony, reception, and dance. She provided us with a suite of documents that helped us organize our information and how we wanted our day to flow. She was great at asking questions that helped us figure out what we really wanted our day to be like. She served not only as a DJ, but also an emcee and a planner who helped us figure out the flow of our entire event.
When our day arrived we were able to relax and feel the excitement of the day and knew that everything was taken care of. Once our dance floor was open, it was a non stop party until the end. Our requested songs were played, our "do not play" requests were managed in a respectful way, and every song she played had our guests cheering and dancing.
During and since our wedding, our guests have been raving about how much fun they had! Some of our older guests said things like, "I've never seen a dance party like that!" and some of our younger guests said things like, "I had such a blast at your wedding, I've never sweat so much from dancing!". We personally had a blast dancing the night away too!
DJ Jodi is such a professional in the way she organized information and showed her experience AND she was incredibly personable in caring for our wants and desires for our day. We would highly recommend DJ Jodi!

I cannot say anything but amazing things about DJ Jodi so I will quote my wedding vendor instead, “I have never met a more professional and organized DJ than Jodi.” Jodi met with my wife and I before the wedding and really helped us put our song choices together. She helped us every step of the way and was able to manage our day for us and make it perfect. There is something to be said for booking a DJ who not only DJs for weddings but also does clubs at well, you get the ultimate package.....a kickass DJ who truly knows how to read a crow. I cannot recommend DJ Jodi enough!!

We could not have been more pleased with the DJ services we recieved surrounding our wedding. Our first meeting was with Jodi, who was nothing but kind, professional, and helpful. Before the wedding, Jodi was responsive and again, incredibly helpful. We chose DJ Hennah for our wedding and she knocked it out of the park. Hennah was attentive, and made sure all the music she played/requests were okay with us. She was so fun, professional, personable, and again very helpful. Hennah was an absolute hit with our family and friends as well. We could not be happier with our choice of DJ services, and are so thankful for Hennah and Jodi.

DJ Jodi was better than we could have ever imagined. Professional, polite, kind, extremely thorough, and came with a great set list. She had multiple phone conferences with us prior to the wedding to make sure we were on the same page and she could capture our vision. We trusted her fully and gave her very little direction in terms of music, and she absolutely crushed it. Our guests have RAVED about her since the big day. All of our other vendors specifically told us that she was the best DJ they've ever worked with. The venue thanked us for having such an organized DJ. If you don't want to worry about a single thing on your big day, hire Jodi.

Dj Jodi was absolutely wonderful to work with. I had been struggling to find a DJ that I didn’t find cheesy. When I happened upon DJ Jodi, I knew I had found the one from my first phone call with her. She was down to earth, extremely organized, and gave me great pointers on the details and timeline of my wedding. It was really important to me that I find a DJ that jived with the atmosphere, and be a person that I would want to be a guest at my wedding. I ended up with DJ XO, and she was a perfect fit. She played great music, and checked in with me to make sure I was happy with her selection. I would hire them again in a heartbeat! They go above and beyond on client service and had everyone out on the dance floor.
