We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ for our wedding than Jon! From our initial consultation to wedding night, he went above and beyond to make sure it was everything we hoped for and more. Jon took the time to get to know our music preferences, and has an online portal that makes it extremely easy to create a timeline and input everything from event details to likes and dislikes.
What really stood out was his ability to read the room. The energy was always spot-on, and every transition was seamless, whether it was during the cocktail hour, dinner, or dancing. Jon kept everything flowing smoothly.
We were so impressed by his professionalism and positive attitude. We received so many compliments from our guests about how great the music was throughout the evening, there were guests on the dance floor throughout the entire night. We can’t recommend him enough! Truly made our wedding unforgettable!
Jon DJ’d our wedding in October of this year, and it was AMAZING working with him. From the minute we started wedding planning, we knew the dance part of the reception was going to be a really important part of the day to get right. Jon is a real expert; he wove in our special song requests with hits that would get everyone on the dance floor. Jon also did the music & sound for our ceremony, and everything was perfect: the cues, the volume, everything. We loved working with Jon and would pick him again in a heartbeat.
You need to hire Jon for your wedding! From beginning to end, Jon was so wonderful to work with. Music is super important to my husband and I, and Jon was so game for our curveball requests. Also, no idea how he did this, but my 91 year old uncle requested Lebanese music and Jon somehow found some!! Our guests have continuously complimented Jon since the wedding too, saying how fun of a DJ he was. The dance floor definitely reflected that sentiment too! It did not let up once the night of our wedding and was constantly packed.
Jon was a perfect addition to our day. We loved every moment of working with him.
When we first signed with him, he provided us with so many planning tools and helped us walk through so many parts of our day. From requests to planning the flow of our day, he had everything we needed and was available for advice and info throughout.
On the day of, Jon was absolute perfection. He was the emcee when needed, but let the music flow and speak for itself when it wasn't. The music was perfect the whole night - all of our requests were played, but seamlessly interwoven with other songs. the uplighting package was more than worth the investment, it added so much ambiance.
Cannot recommend DJ Jon Strader enough!! He was so organized and professional and did an amazing job with announcements and keeping the reception on track. He clearly has a lot of experience with weddings! Jon was able to read the crowd and play exactly what was needed to keep the dance party going. He also did the lighting which totally transformed our venue from day to night!! You are in good hands with DJ Jon Strader!!
Jon was the perfect fit for our big day! From helping us build a playlist to wrangling everyone to their spots when they needed to be announced and just keeping everything organized and stressfree was a huge plus. Cannot reccomend Jon enough, he was as professional as you can get and had everyone cutting up the rug, if i could give him 100 stars I would
Absolutely the best!!! Could not recommend enough! Had the dance floor going the whole night and would give him 20 out of 5 stars if I could! Don’t look anywhere else, Jon is who you want!
We loved working with Jon! He is professional, talented, punctual, and so much fun. Jon helped us seamlessly transition from our ceremony to cocktail hour and from dinner to dancing. He played songs from all genres and decades, covering everything that I love about music and keeping our dance floor full all night. If you like music and fun and happy wedding guests then book Jon as your DJ.
Jon is THE BEST! From calls to get to know me and my now husband, to helping us understand all the intricacies without being overwhelming - Jon crushed it! I'm not sure of the level of preparation and sheer magic one has to have to be able to conduct an outdoor ceremony, to cocktail hour, and then host a kick-ass reception but THANK YOU, Jon!
We had Jon as our DJ for our August wedding and could not be more glad to have chosen him! We planned an East coast wedding from the West coast (San Diego) and when Jon happened to be in town for vacation of his own in San Diego, he took time out of his trip to meet up with us and plan wedding things! I mean that is service! He went above and beyond prior to the wedding with phone calls, finalizing details and day of he was amazing as MC and DJ! He provided both outdoor and indoor music on the day of our wedding, which was amazing also. The lighting he provided was perfect and helped get everyone out on the dance floor for a great time dancing! We are so grateful to have had him on our big day and can't recommend him enough!
Due to COVID-19, my wife Shannon and I canceled the band that we had booked 2 years prior for our wedding day. It turned out to be the best decision we made for our reception. Jon came with a glowing recommendation from several other couples we know and he did NOT disappoint. After our initial phone call with Jon, we knew we had found our perfect DJ. Jon was incredibly organized, prepared, professional, and brought an enthusiasm to our reception that set the tone for a perfect night. Our dance floor was PACKED with 95% of our guests making their way to the dance floor thanks to Jon’s great energy and PERFECTLY curated playlist to bring our reception to life. We could not imagine our night without Jon, who felt like a close friend by the end of the evening. We cannot recommend Jon highly enough to anyone looking for a warm, fun, positive energy on their big day!
We hired Jon for our 10/13/19 wedding. He was so incredibly easy to work with. He was extremely helpful in assisting us with planning our evening and timing different events. He did a wonderful job of making our reception flow seamlessly and all of our guests had a wonderful time dancing the night away. We highly recommend Jon for your big day!
Jon was the DJ for our October wedding and we could not have asked for anyone better. From the beginning, Jon was easy to communicate with and always responded to our messages and questions quickly. We were set up with Jon’s website to pick our music for throughout the day. The website was super user friendly and helped keep our details organized. We also chose to go with uplighting and it was beautiful! We left it up to Jon to pick the colors and they were spot on. One of the best aspects of working with Jon was his attitude. Jon is so genuinely enthusiastic and has a great energy about him. You can tell he is passionate at what he does and he honestly does a stellar job. The music at our wedding was awesome, we loved every minute of dancing, and had so much fun. We can’t thank Jon enough and would highly recommend him for any event.
Jon Strader definitely got our wedding guests dancing (literally at one point every single person was dancing), and his lighting was incredible, very worth it. His business felt fresh and professional. Our only cons were that he wasn't very accessible as a vendor (he only does appointments in his Worcester office on weekdays, and didn't offer to meet in the middle like our other vendors), and he would only refer us to his online website tool when we requested a phone call (we found the online tool limiting and time consuming). We were also a bit disappointed that he played many of our "must plays" during dinner (songs we always imagined dancing too), and he didn't really stick at all to music vibe we wanted. He should include a "genre" do not play list on his site. If you aren't picky however about your song list, and want guaranteed dancing , he's your man!
DJ Jon Strader is a talented and passionate professional, and he totally brought the party to our wedding! He is a warm and fun-loving person and will instantly put you at ease with his professionalism and bright personality. We visited Jon at his studio in Worcester and he brought us through his thoughtful and well-organized platform that made planning and selecting playlists a breeze (and super fun). The wedding day went off without a hitch! Jon was prepared, organized, and more than ready to help make the evening special and perfect. Everyone had the best night and was so complimentary of Jon! We feel very lucky that we were able to share our most special day with such an amazing person! Thanks Jon!
We first heard Jon at our friends wedding. He was the DJ, and we had so much fun. Our friends highly recommended working with him, and I couldn’t agree more. Jon was amazing!! He was so easy going and easy to communicate with before our big day. Everything was very hectic and I was not giving our play list the attention I should have, but I had nothing to worry about. Jon scheduled a phone call and gave me great suggestions and made everything so easy. All I wanted was to have everyone dancing at our wedding. We gave him some song suggestions, but basically said to keep the dance floor crowded, and scrap our music if people weren’t dancing. Jon was amazing! I’ve never seen so many guests out on the dance floor. Relatives that never dance were out there! It was such a blast!
Jon also did our ceremony. He had Bluetooth speakers that were battery charged so he was able to mic the ceremony even though it wasn’t near a power source. He was great and we would recommend him to any friend who is looking for a DJ!
I was so nervous about finding a dj for our wedding and I'm so freaking thrilled we found Jon. He was so, so easy to work with--we had a few phone chats to go over the details, and his online planning tools are so thorough. We wanted a few obscure versions of songs played and he sent 'em over to confirm he had the right ones. When it came time for the dancing to start he played an amazing selection that had everyone from every generation dancing. Multiple people came up to tell me how great the dj and the music was. He also put up with my crazy family storming the stage to sing and dance, and deferred to me when my crazy aunt tried to grab the mic to (I presume) say something outrageous, which I very much appreciated. When I asked him about it later he was like "I got you, I don't let that shit happen to my couples," which pretty much summarizes Jon's whole vibe--he's *got* you and makes you feel so taken care of. You can't go wrong with Jon and we're so glad we chose to work with him.
Jon was the absolute BEST! When we were looking at wedding DJs we were having a hard time deciding since people have such different tastes and wants when it comes to music at their wedding. Music was one of the most important parts of our wedding and we wanted a full dance floor the whole night and we got just that! The dance floor was packed the whole night and he kept the party going until the very last song. As soon as I spoke with Jon I could tell he understood what we wanted and his years of experience on the night of definitely showed. We are still getting compliments on our music and our family and friends had the best time. Jon was able to provide ceremony, cocktail hour and reception music. He has an online system that is so easy to use and organizes the timeline. He’s extremely responsive and such a genuine, nice guy. We provided him with some music ideas and he made a playlist that was perfect. We cannot recommend Jon enough. If you haven’t already book him!!
Jon was phenomenal! Not only is he professional and courteous, he checked in with us for any slight details we may have missed. His client website leaves no step unturned when it comes to planning your wedding (i.e. music, timeline, introductions, etc.). Easy payment options online.
The night was amazing and he kept the guests dancing with a good mix for the crowd. Superior performance!
Jon was an amazing DJ and had everyone on the dance floor all night! Our guests are still talking about how great the music was. Jon also did a great job coordinating our ceremony sound and music. Would highly recommend! Loved his wooden custom booth as well.
Jon was amazing! We just had our wedding this past Friday and he was able to keep these party going all night!
We absolutely loved working with Jon. He read the room really well and played a great variety of music through the decades to keep everyone out on the dance floor. Also, the uplighting was awesome to have, would completely recommend it.
Overall, His energy was awesome and I wasn't worried about the sound for ceremony or the wedding at all- we were in completely capable hands.
DJ Jon Strader was the perfect MC and DJ to our perfect day. Picking the right person to be accountable for the music on our big day was an important item on our to-do list because we understood how much this plays part in everybody’s experience. We’ve already received feedback from several guests in regards to how polite and friendly Jon was at introducing himself and connecting with our family and friends.
We couldn’t speak more highly of Jon and the quality of his service. At our venue we had an outdoor porch off of our main room where everything happened, and Jon was able to accommodate us with wireless microphones and a small speaker setup on the porch where we held our toasts and introductions. The main room was decked out with up-lighting which really turned the room around into the perfect vibe when it came time to dance. Perhaps the most helpful thing in our process was the DJ portal that Jon uses with his service. We were able to manage all of our “must-plays” here as well as enter our “special moments.”
It’s important to have the right person DJing your wedding because that person will be around and interacting with people throughout the entire night, and we couldn’t recommend a better person for this than Jon Strader.
Go Strader, Go,
Kurtis + Naomi
Jon came in as a recommendation from our photographer, and it was a no brainer after we met him. We reached out to him by email and got an immediate response from him saying he wanted to meet with us and talk about our big day. He was our first DJ we were scheduled to meet, and after our meeting, we knew we found the perfect guy. He was beyond impressive! Organized, informative, and had an infectious energy about him. He answered any and all of our questions, and took any stress we had right away!!!! Honestly, if you don’t go with Jon... you’ve messed up! He had everyone dancing all night long, and read the vibe of the room perfectly! Thanks for everything you did for us bud!
We were lucky enough to not have to shop around much for our DJ. We had gone to a wedding where Jon was the DJ at and it was the best wedding! Once we found out Jon was available our decision was made! Jon is extremely professional and enthusiastic about his job. You can tell that he truly loves what he does. When it came down to the last week before the wedding I had realized that I was a little behind on our music selection. Jon kindly reminded me that we needed to fill in our online portal (which is super helpful and organized by the way), but told me not to panic and he could help us along the way if we needed it. Jon was sweet enough to have a phone call with me to help me sort through the pre-wedding cobwebs to assist in finishing our song list. We honestly weren’t concerned though. We knew that whatever he came up with on the day of would be perfect. Jon did nothing short of a perfect job on our wedding day. Everything from the ceremony right through to the last song of the night. He set the tone for our whole night! And from what we’ve heard, people had a pretty amazing time! If you ask me, your DJ is one of the most important vendors you will hire- they conduct your whole evening! We would 100% recommend Jon to anyone looking for a DJ in the New England area!!
Jon was so fun and helpful through the entire planning process! His portal was easy to use and we were able to request any song we wanted! He took our guests on a journey through all types of music and had everyone dancing the night away!! Thanks for a great night!
Our review will never do Jon Strader justice. He heard our vision, answered all our questions, and put us at ease before our wedding day even happened. Jon was so much more than a DJ, he became part of our family that day. He brought our party to the next level. Jon had solutions before we even knew we had a problem. He brought music to our church when we realized we needed it without even a second thought. He supported us in mixing our current music taste with traditional "acceptable" church music, which was amazing. Multiple family members complimented not only his ability to read a crowd and bring a party but that he was a wonderful person that they wanted to hang out with. Jon brought more than just music, he treated us like family. I highly recommend Jon!
Hiring a DJ was one of the tasks we were most unsure about. We knew we didn’t want anyone cheesy and that was about it. After meeting with Jon we left feeling excited and that he really understood our tastes. Jon’s responsiveness, advice, and planning platform were so helpful in organizing our wedding. He was beyond prepared the day of the wedding and assisted with equipment and set up for my brother who played the ceremony music. At the reception we were blown away by his ability to play music everyone enjoyed and the dance floor was crowded from the first song to the last. Our wedding was two months ago and guests are still talking about how amazing the DJ was. If you’re considering hiring Jon, do it.
The DJ selection was looking bleak as I sifted through website after website of creepy dudes with goatees and tuxedos from a 2004 Men's Warehouse sale. My brother knows Jon and had him DJ his own wedding, so we met with him and knew instantly that we'd hire him. He is so easy to work with beforehand and has an easy-to-use website for clients to choose exactly what they want (and don't). During our reception, he kept the wedding flowing flawlessly, and was so intuitive in recognizing what the guests wanted to hear and finding ways he could help. (E.G. we had a photo booth and Jon suggested he make an announcement about it. Boom. Didn't even think of that.) Plus, he is just a delightful, enthusiastic human being. I can't recommend Jon highly enough! Stop looking at creepy DJs. Just hire DJ Strader.
Jon’s presence at a wedding elevates the vibe and esthetic to a level that you rarely experience. We realized this initially at a friend’s wedding and (although not engaged at the time!) knew he’d be the guy to call someday. From the first meeting, Jon completely got our vibe. He was excited about our ideas and exuded the enthusiasm for music that allows him to truly appreciate every detail that you envision for your night. The uplighting - which I’ll admit was not even on my radar at first - was THE BEST final touch!! He completely illuminated the venue (within a tent, at a farm, in the middle of a wicked hurricane.) He complimented our color palette in a way I could never have envisioned - it was gorgeous. Our photos are all the more dreamy and I will have the tones in my memory always. The dance lighting is fabulous as well!! Do not question it - get the whole package.
Jon’s online database is extremely convenient. He will remember every tiny detail that you request, so make sure to use it as your planner! He is extremely thorough, responds quickly to emails, was kind to guests and coordinated with the entire bridal party, and communicated with other vendors and the venue. The only thing you will need to do, is enjoy every minute of dancing that you can. It is a party you will never forget! Seriously - he’s your guy. Look no further!!!
If you found DJ JOn Strader, you shouldn't look any further. He is the best!
Professional, responsive, ready to accommodate every music request.
5 stars to DJ Jon Srader.
I highly recommend DJJon Strader! Jon helped to make our wedding the best day ever! Jon is extremely professional, responsive, and experienced! His energy is radiating and his enthusiasm is very refreshing! He had everyone at he wedding dancing! Multiple people (including the older crowd), kept saying they loved the music! The online portal helped us to organize and let Jon know all of our requests! Jon even goes the extra mile to accommodate last minute requests! Jon did a wonderful job of making sure to play all of our music requests! We had some ethnic Persian dance music played at our wedding (half of my family is Persian) and Jon executed that perfectly and had all the guests dancing away on the dance floor, even guests who have never heard that music before! The timeline of events during the reception was flawless, thanks to Jon’s experience, enthusiasm, and organization! His homemade wooden DJ both also fit in perfectly with the vibe of our wedding! I would highly recommend Jon to anyone in search of DJ!!
Jon was extremely professional, responsive and creative. He was super easy to work with during the entire process and made us feel at ease. The portal he uses to organize your songs is amazing and keeps everything organized. Our one request was that he keep everyone on the dance floor and he did just that. Everyone is still talking about how much fun our wedding was. Do not hesitate booking Jon for your wedding.
DJ Jon is a wonderful DJ and really great to work with. He really made an effort to get to know us and our musical tastes and we heard every song we requested! He made the night go really smoothly while still ensuring everyone had fun. He also helped out with lighting and the sound system for our ceremony. DJ Jon is awesome and we would totally recommend him!
When we first began the wedding planning process, I met so many over the top flashy DJs who constantly tried to sell me their products rather than listening to my needs that we considered just plugging in an iPod and calling it a night. Then we contacted DJ Jon Strader. He is very professional, considerate, willing to work within your budget, and amazing at his craft. He guides you along the process and provides fantastic advice when asked. We received so many compliments throughout the wedding and reception and we couldn't have been happier. Definitely worth the investment! He's the best!
I wanted to leave a detailed review for Jon since picking out a wedding DJ was one of the trickiest vendor decisions we had to make. Unlike a photographer or florist, it's hard for a couple to "review" a DJ's previous work to get a sense of whether they will be a good fit.
Right from our first meeting with him, we could tell that Jon was a really enthusiastic, positive guy. He fit the personality profile we were looking for in a vendor -- he takes his work seriously, but he doesn't take himself too seriously. He is experienced and opinionated, but in a laid back way that's very easy to work with.
The day of the wedding, he got there early and had plenty of time to setup for the outdoor ceremony and indoor reception. No one reported any issues hearing our officiant or vows despite it being pretty windy near the Maine coast.
For the reception, he was a great emcee, getting the guests fired up for the introductions and our first dance. He had a great selection of songs for the salad course that subtly built up so that the background music was getting higher intensity by the time everyone was finishing up and ready to get on the dance floor.
He blended well-known dance hit into well-known dance hit, so that people stayed on the dance floor and there were no lulls in the action. Once it started getting a little sweaty (the venue had no AC) and people were heading out to the hallway to grab drinks, he kept things going for the family members who stayed out there and used a slow dance song to bring people back out on the dance floor later on, to get it crowded again before the finale. He took the suggestions we had left for artists and wove those in throughout the night so that they didn't feel forced or out of place at all. Overall, he did an amazing job reading the vibe of the room and playing to it easily throughout the entire evening.
He's a fantastic DJ, emcee and wedding vendor, and I have no reservations about working with him again or recommending him to friends or family.
Jon did a fantastic job from beginning to end. Great communication, easy to use web portal where we could update our schedule and special songs. He also provided some really cool lighting at the venue which looked fantastic. The wedding went great, and he had good energy all night. Thanks again, Jon!
Jon is the best! He was the DJ for our wedding a few weeks ago and we are so, so happy he was! From start to finish he was professional, fun, and creative. He was a big help in the planning process and kept the night flowing flawlessly. He also kept everyone dancing and having a good time. I cannot recommend him enough. Music selection, emcee skills, uplightly - all of it was perfect.
Jon Strader was our DJ and emcee at our wedding, and he was incredible! He has the perfect personality as a DJ and emcee - he's friendly, outgoing, but a total professional. We gave Jon some must play songs, but otherwise simply let him know the type of vibe we were going for and he chose the perfect mix of songs to play. Everyone was on the dance floor. Jon had the entire evening timed perfectly and helped move everything along very smoothly. We had our wedding at Salem Cross Inn (a rustic barn) and Jon has a custom wooden DJ booth that fit in perfectly, and looked a lot more elegant than some modern table. We can't say enough great things about Jon and highly recommend him for your wedding!
Where do I even begin? Music was on the top of the priority list for my husband and I when we were first sitting down to get the planning started. Jon was the absolute best choice for us and I seriously can't recommend him enough. We had our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all at the same venue. He provided the ceremony equipment, sound system for a few vocalists and guitarists, cocktail hour music, reception music and MC'ing, uplighting... etc. It was so wonderfully planned out, the communication was so fast leading up to it, and I seriously didn't have to worry about a thing with him! People have been raving about how much fun our wedding was and a lot of that has to do with Jon. The music was perfect for all of our guests and we could customize/set the mood for what we wanted throughout each part of our special day. Thank you, Jon, for everything you were able to do for us!!
Jon was incredible! He made our wedding day that much more special. He was easy to work with, brought incredible energy to the day from start to finish, and had everyone dancing all night. I would highly recommend him for any event where you want to have a lot of fun and get everyone up and dancing. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Jon! Our wedding was the best day ever and he was a huge contributor in making it so amazing!
Jon was AMAZING! A pleasure to work with. His contagious energy got the party started right off the bat! People are still talking about him! He was so professional and easy to work with. His organization and attention to detail was spot on. I only wish we could continue to work with him. Thanks, Jon, for making it the best night EVER!
Jon helped make our wedding day incredible. He was on time, organized and totally professional. He did a great job organizing the walk ins as well as other points where he had to be the MC. He had the perfect sound set up at the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception, all in different rooms. Most importantly his music kept the dance floor full the whole night. The planning process was smooth and made for one less thing to worry about on the day of. I highly recommend Jon for your wedding or special event!
It is no exaggeration to say that Jon MADE our wedding exactly what we wanted it to be. From start to finish he was extraordinarily professional, easy to work with, highly communicative, and efficient. He curated the perfect playlist which was no easy task given my husband's Caribbean background and my love for hip-hop. We danced our butts off all night long and all of our guests raved about our DJ. He is absolutely the best, can't recommend highly enough.
This is a long overdue review for Jon, the greatest guy we worked with for our wedding back in November. Not only is he super chill and super nice but he helped tremendously in throwing one hell of a party! He was accommodating to our personal music choices and then played some crowd favorites that weren’t cliché (but he will play the cliche tunes if you want it!). He was far from gimmicky, and his DJ stand matched our venue perfectly which was a bonus (barn wood). We also made a last minute change for our wedding song the week-of and he happily made the change. He really won me over when he started playing my boy Otis Redding during cocktail hour. Loved working with Jon!
We were so thrilled by our experience with Jon at our wedding this past November 2017! Jon was extremely easy to get in touch with, always responding promptly to emails. He was very flexible with any changes or adjustments to our schedule. Most importantly, our guests did not leave the dance floor... all night long!! I have never been at a wedding when every single person was dancing- I equate that all to Jon! He played a great mix of songs for people old and young. His MC’ing for the night was perfect... he kept things going and knew all the perfect transition times. I would highly recommend Jon for your wedding event!!
Jon was great! We had our wedding this past April, and couldn't have asked for anything more. His communication from start to finish was great. He gave us different options and ideas for music choices when we weren't sure, which was very helpful. And even though my husband was the point of contact for him, he made it a point to introduce himself to me before the wedding which was very thoughtful. He listened to what kind of music we liked and the playlist that night was great, all of our guests enjoyed it. He's a pleasure to work with, very professional, and personable. Highly recommend!!
Can't say enough about Jon and the service he provided for our wedding in September. From day one, his communication was above and beyond and delivered exactly what we wanted and more. He's an extremely professional individual and takes his business seriously. It shows in the way he presents himself, you know he loves what he does. His custom website allowed us to outline the entire day, create playlists and provide announcements so that everything went according to plan. Couldn't be more satisfied with Jon and would recommend him for any occasion!
Jon was incredible. I really can't think of enough good things to say. The experience was seamless, from his planning interface on his website to the professional execution of every detail throughout our wedding. All our guests had a wonderful time. The most stand out thing to me was his positive energy, he is the type of person you just want to have around. This is the guy you want for your special day!!
Jon was the best DJ ever. He was so fun and kind throughout the process, and made it possible to add the personal touches that would make our reception and ceremony perfect. His website was super easy to use, he picked fantastic music that kept everyone raving about how much they loved the music. He went above and beyond to make sure the night went smoothly and treated us with such respect. He is amazing and we would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs a DJ because he is simply the best!
Amazing night thanks to an awesome DJ. I never thought my wedding would have a full dance floor all night. The music was easy to request through his website and he was extremely responsive to our questions. My guests commented on how professional and personable he was. I cannot thank you enough for being part of our big day!
Jon is the best of the best! Having a good DJ was one of our top priorities for our wedding and he wasn't just good he was FANTASTIC. Such a gem to work with! Jon responds to you right away and will answer any question and gives fabulous suggestions. He was so helpful the day of and made everything go so smooth! My guests had a blast and were on the dance floor the whole time! Not only does he do a fantastic job he is an incredibly nice guy. I would (and have already) recommend him for any event!
We just had our wedding at the Salem Cross Inn, and it wouldn’t have been the same without DJ Jon Strader. Jon was really easy to work with, and his excitement was infectious. He understands how important the DJ’s job is, as both the DJ and the MC. We wanted to play music that would get everyone dancing- old, young, and everyone in between, and he nailed it. We had several guests tell us that they’ve never seen so many people dancing for the entire night. It was a blast. The music sounded great, the lighting was awesome, and he did a great job coordinating and announcing all the wedding events. I would absolutely recommend Jon, and we will be recommending him to any of our friends getting married in the area. I would love to go to another wedding that he DJ’d! Hire him and you won't be disappointed!
Jon absolutely killed it. Not only was I on the dance floor all night, our whole wedding was up and at it. He was a total pleasure to work with, and despite the fact our plans changed a few times leading up to the day he rocked it without a hitch. We got a ton of compliments on his behalf, and I'm sure I'll be seeing him at some of my friends weddings soon. Book him while you can!
Jon is a consummate professional and was patient and enthusiastic throughout the planning process as well as the day of our wedding itself. He was readily able to make specific suggestions during the planning stages about timing and sequence of activities to ensure that there was a smooth flow and everyone would enjoy themselves. Jon took with extremely good humor some of our quirks in terms of musical tastes and exclusions/inclusions for the reception. He masterfully setup and segued between different locations onsite for our ceremony, toasts, cake-cutting, and dancing segments. He was also able—quite subtly—to keep things on our established timeline without any of his maneuvering being apparent to us let alone our guests. The simplest and highest form of praise for his spectacular coordination and great energy was that he universally reaped rave reviews from guests who spanned a 7 decade range. If you want your event to be professionally wrangled AND be a blast, Jon is a definite go-to!
Jon is the best of the best when it comes to having a DJ at your wedding! He made our day exactly what I always dreamt it to be. His professionalism, fun and charismatic personality made the task of planning a wedding that much easier and more enjoyable, and his overall organization was exactly what we needed and hoped for. He played everything we requested, plus great additions and our dance floor was at capacity from beginning to end. We actually thought we physically broke the dance floor from all of the dancing! He set the tone for the night and kept the positive vibe and energy alive during the entire thing. I highly recommend Jon for his services and also his booth is AMAZING!!!
Jon was the perfect choice for our wedding day! He was extremely accommodating for our specific music requests for the ceremony, cocktail hour, reception and a separate playlist for our bonfire during the reception. We had 4 different total locations for music to be set up and everything went seamlessly and perfect. From the music playlists to the announcements and specific requests, I highly recommend Jon!
Choosing Jon as our DJ was one of the best and easiest parts of our planning process! We were guests at a wedding he had done in the past and we knew that, when our time came, we would need him at ours. Jon was helpful and responsive in the months (actually, years) leading up to our wedding. Along with emailing back and forth, we LOVED his website because we could add little details about our day along the way and never felt pressured to have all of the answers at once. When we had our first and only meeting with Jon, he was so enthusiastic and immediately put us at ease. We didn't have a wedding planner, but he was open and willing to do anything he could to make our day as fun and relaxed as possible. On the day of the wedding, he was absolutely incredible! Everything went SO smoothly, and the dance floor was packed the entire night! My husband and I love, love, love Jon and feel so lucky that he was part of our wedding!
Jon was amazing from start to finish. Very responsive via phone, text, and email, and offered the most exceptional service. He took time to get to know my husband at I personally at several different meetings. When our wedding day came, the songs were played just as we envisioned and were on time with each of the different parts of our reception. His songs kept everyone dancing and his announcing had all at attention when it was needed. The reception went without a hitch, which is a super important job for the DJ since he is the one who is ultimately responsible for the direction of the entire night! His attention to detail was on par with mine (the bride), which is rarely the case with some vendors who consider your event just another weekend doing their job. Jon took his role in our wedding seriously, and provided an amazing night of entertainment for us and our guests. Thanks Jon you will forever be a part of our wedding memories :) -Kim and John Christoforou
Jon is awesome! He kept the party going, kept to our requests and do not play list, and kept the night moving with intros and formal aspects of the night. We had a unique venue that required a few different set ups, and Jon was ready and had all the equipment needed. He's just a super nice guy and very good DJ. Everyone we spoke with at the wedding really enjoyed his work. My husband, who has an audio background, can be very picky, and really loved Jon, and his subtle but creative scratching and mixing work as well. I would highly recommend him!
