Hi Rachel,
Thank you so much for the great review. It was a pleasure to be a part of your special day.
I could not recommend this service enough to anyone looking for a DJ for their upcoming wedding. I just recently had a wedding at the end of January and Jason was so professional, extremely personable, and did an outstanding job as our DJ and ...
MC. The dance floor was always full and he played a variety of songs that got everyone of all ages on the dance floor (which I really appreciated!) From start to finish he helped make our reception absolutely perfect and I couldn't imagine anyone else as our DJ.

Jason from DJ Live Entertainment did a great job at our wedding and really helped out with making important announcements and keeping our guests entertained with music. He was also very friendly and professional.
My Fiancé and I almost didn'...
t hire a DJ because we thought we could just have an MP3 player and a Bluetooth speaker preloaded with our wedding music. Well I am glad to say that we decided to hire Jason as our DJ, and looking back I can't imagine not having him there to help out. We would definitely recommend!

Jason was the best! We wanted a DJ to help keep everyone dancing throughout the reception, and he more than delivered! Jason knew when to move to the next song to keep the flow going, while also making sure he played enough of each song to pl...
ease the crowd. He was an utmost professional at all times, checking in before the ceremony and helping assure that everything would run smoothly.
Jason's fee was very reasonable, something that made it an easy choice to go with him. The level of service we got with him blew our expectations out of the water! We felt like we got top-notch performance for a killer price. 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a DJ!

Five stars!! If you need an AMAZING DJ for your big day, DJ Live Entertainment is the company for you! Jason was quick to respond to all emails and even called me to have a phone chat to go over the details of his services for my wedding day. H...
e came early to set up and was very professional throughout our whole event. His set-up and equipment was top-notched so we did not have any technical difficulties. I complied a list of requested songs and he made sure to have them played on our big day. His song transitions are effortless and he knows how to read the crowd to keep the energy going.
My husband had a last-minute song request on the same day and Jason accommodated with a smile. My husband also had asked Jason to play our first dance song during a specific part during his speech. Well my husband had forgotten that he had requested this so he was pleasantly surprised when Jason remembered and played the song on cue! It was just perfect. I can go on and on about how great Jason is but I think you get the idea.
Jason, thank you so much for creating the perfect environment for our wedding!
