DJ Persist

e and work with, and made our wedding day run very smoothly. He went above and beyond to ensure our day was everything we dreamed of. Us and our guests truly had the best day dancing the night away!

ired vibe. On the day, he exceeded all expectations – the dance floor was packed all night, and his seamless blends kept everyone energized. We were especially impressed by his exceptional coordination with our other vendors. He worked seamlessly with everyone, ensuring perfect flow and smooth transitions, which significantly reduced our stress. If you want a DJ who'll keep guests dancing and be an incredible team player, DJ Persist is your person!

h while knowing the fun Mexican wedding dance traditions. We had multiple interviews with DJs but he really stood out and made us feel like no one would be left out on the dance floor! We got the deluxe package which includes everything you need! The most important part was the music and he truly knocked it out of the park. He incorporated all the genres and songs we asked for while adding in songs that fit the vibe perfectly. He was able to create the perfect multicultural medley that fit us perfectly as a couple. It ranged from 2000s hits to cumbias to Marco Antonio Solís to Taylor Swift which may seem like a huge range but he did it all so seamlessly that everyone was having the best time. He did such a great job of keeping us on track that night and followed the timeline we gave him to a T! He also offers so many fun and cool add-ons. We got the Photo Booth add-on which our guests loved as they got to take something home with them. We also had a robot (who dressed up as a gorilla for a bit) and this was the highlight of the night!!! Seriously our guests have not stopped talking about it because it was so memorable and different :) He made everything so easy and seamless so that you just show up on wedding day and have fun! He also put together a picture slideshow of my husband and I which was such a sweet touch. His lighting set-up was amazing and worked perfectly with our venue. I honestly wish we would’ve gotten more add-ons so do it for yours because you won’t regret it! Jesse is truly a great guy with vibrant and professional energy that you will be so happy you went with him! 100000/10 recommend! Thank you DJ Persist!!!

ultures and playing total bops. At the time, I had only been dating my (now) husband, who’s from Mexico, for about a year-- but I remember thinking right then and there: "when we get married, we’re hiring DJ Persist." Cut to 2025, and that’s exactly what we did. We’re based in NYC and flew Jesse in from Chicago because we knew how important it was to have someone who could truly bridge both of our cultures on the dance floor, and wow, did he deliver. The energy was unreal. The dance floor never let up -- both families came in and out all night, and most of the time we were all dancing together. It was incredible how effortlessly Jesse moved between English and Spanish. It made both of our families feel included and celebrated, and we heard nonstop praise from everyone (on both sides) about how incredible he was. People were in awe of the setlist, the transitions, the vibe. We brought him to our after-party where we really let the dance floor loose. He's such a smart DJ-- not just pressing play on a playlist. He understands the musicality, the beats, and how to layer songs together; it was seriously so fun. On top of all that, Jesse is just great to work with- kind, responsive, professional, and fairly priced. He truly gets it, and hiring him was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

English music as well as multiple genres from oldies, nortenas, reggaeton, and pop punk. During our meetings, we described what we wanted and he made our dream happen. We also received timely responses for any email follow ups that we had. There were seamless transitions between the genres so people were on the dance floor all night. It was so much fun to have Jesse as our DJ that evening. We also hired his team to run our photobooth and it was absolutely worth it. Great prints and multiple template options. I would recommend DJ Persist to all my friends and family.

nd Spanish music at a Mexican-Palestinian wedding, and it was amazing! When my wedding day finally arrived, I was thrilled to reach out to him and book his services. His expertise in mixing all genres of music is unmatched, and the compliments from our guests were non-stop throughout the night. Thank you so much, DJ Persist!

ed that he truly listened to what we wanted. The dance floor was packed at all times - I remember looking at my husband and telling him I was tired from dancing but couldn’t stop since the music was too good. Jesse was also extremely helpful with helping us stay on our schedule, which we are super thankful for. I highly recommend DJ Persist for your big day! Thank you, Jesse!

and had our guests dancing from start to finish. The music was perfectly tailored to the crowd, and he seamlessly mixed genres to keep everyone entertained. Not only was his music selection on point, but the props he provided were a huge hit! Our guests absolutely loved them and it added such a fun, unique touch to the celebration. We’re so grateful for his professionalism, creativity, and the amazing atmosphere he helped create. Highly recommend!

islikes. DJ Persist was very professional and helped keep our evening on schedule according to our timeline. His add-on services, such as sparklers and audio guestbook, are very much worth it, and created magical memories at our reception.

any of our guests made sure to tell us how much they loved the music! The way he blended the different genres we wanted to represent our cultures was wonderful. We would hire him again in a heartbeat.

ing job putting music that directed our diverse guests from polish music to Salvadorian music to our 80s/90s hits he mastered it all! Our guests did not leave the dance floor and we had a blast! We even got photo booths and the nightlife experience add on and that made our night 100000x more enjoyable Don’t look anywhere else, hire Jesse now!

e to hit the dance floor... DJ Persist truly made the party one to remember. Both the Latino and Italian-American sides of the family were dancing to bachata one minute, then pop punk the next. He read the room perfectly and all our guests complimented the memorable evening. We recommend DJ Persist to any couple looking for a well-run and enjoyable party. Sierra + Diego

h all the necessary equipment, making everything run smoothly. We highly recommend DJ Persist for anyone looking to have an unforgettable event!

the varying musical tastes of all of our guests and he did that flawlessly. He played everything from cumbia to freestyle to pop and spanish rock and EVERYTHING in between. The dance floor was packed all night and everyone had an amazing night! Jesse was so easy to work with and he executed all of our requests perfectly! We also loved the add-on’s that he provides too! Every single guest raved about the 360 photobooth, and we loved listening back to our voice messages from the audio guestbook! I would recommend Jesse to anyone for any event in the future!

ves! DJ Persist knows how to read a crowd and is incredibly talented. He understood our eclectic group and somehow found a way to cater to everyone (from banda to pop-punk to hip-hop to country), making it all look seamless. Hiring him was one of the best decisions we ever made, not to mention his amazing add-on services. We had the 360 booth, which was an absolute hit! Some guests later told me they had so much fun with the booth that they could have done it all night and had one of the best nights of their lives. Additionally, DJ Persist kindly offered a new service called the nightclub experience to us free of charge since it was a new launch, and OMG, it was so fun! My large bridal party was nervous their entrances would feel awkward, but that concern vanished the moment DJ Persist provided LED strobe wands and poster signs. If this is a concern for your bridal party, please, please consider adding it on! Thank you so much for everything, DJ Persist!

o we were nervous how we would execute a smooth and fun night for all and DJ Persist did it with ease! He did all announcements in both English and Spanish, knew the right music to play for all to enjoy and have a great evening. Besides his excellent DJ and MC skills, he also was extremely professional and patient with us the entire process. He has a really nice software for you to use while planning your timeline and music selections. If you’re unsure where to even begin, it also provides you music suggestions that are popular with weddings. We also utilized some of his upgrades (cold sparklers, uplighting, and upgraded dance floor lightings) and those truly took our night up a notch! We can’t recommend him enough!!!!

et from DJ Persist is high quality service. Given his extensive background in Chicago nightlife and program coordinating experience, along with being bilingual, was a plus! DJ Persist kept all of our guests on the dance floor, ALL NIGHT (not kidding). He also ensured that the night kept moving along and communicated with our vendors making sure the night ran smoothly. If we could do our wedding over again, we would hire DJ Persist in a heartbeat! We also booked the photo booth through DJ Persist, which made our planning process seamless. 10/10 DJ Persist is your perfect Wedding DJ!

day. It was a lively celebration and one that I will never forget, with the music playing a key role throughout the evening.

ded and made sure to provide quality sound for our ceremony. For our reception, he followed everything we asked of him and was very flexible when it came to unexpected things that popped up. He also had the dance floor LIT!!!!! The dance floor was never empty and he kept the vibes going all night, it honestly felt like a club! If you’re looking for a professional and an amazing DJ, look no further!

eryone dancing all night at my wedding! Music is such an important part of a party & Jesse did not disappoint!

ey enjoyed the music. We appreciate all your talent and professionalism!

ng from the initial meet up months before the event, up until the very end of the night. Throughout the night he made sure to check in with us if anyone made any special requests to make sure that we were ok with it. Apart from making sure we had our night go exactly how we wanted it to go, he also played the perfect music for the crowd that was present. The dance floor was not empty from the moment that the dancing part of the night started up until the very end. Also offered a photo booth that was a hit with the guests, and the booth we chose got us digital copies of everyone that took a photo. If you are looking for the best DJ with experience, knowledge, and has your best interest in mind for your special occasion Jesse is your guy.

ted exceptional professionalism and a genuine passion for his craft, making our special day even more memorable. One of the standout qualities of DJ Persist was his ability to connect with our predominantly Spanish-speaking guests. His fluency in Spanish allowed him to make announcements and engage with our guests in a way that made everyone feel included and excited. This was incredibly important to us, as it ensured that all our guests, regardless of their language, could fully enjoy the celebration. Jesse's extensive knowledge of Hispanic music was evident from our initial consultation. On his website, we were able to request a few of our favorite songs, and he took it from there. He curated a fantastic playlist that perfectly captured the energy and spirit we wanted for our wedding. Jesse did an outstanding job of filling the evening with similar tracks, keeping the dance floor alive and vibrant throughout the night. One of the aspects we appreciated most was Jesse's ability to seamlessly transition between different music genres. Our wedding featured a diverse mix of cumbia, merengue, banda, reggaeton, and even some house music towards the end of the night. Jesse's DJ skills were top-notch. His seamless transitions and expert mixing kept the music flowing smoothly, creating an electric atmosphere that our guests are still raving about. In conclusion, Jesse exceeded all our expectations and played a pivotal role in making our wedding day unforgettable. If you are looking for a DJ who can bring your celebration to life with vibrant music, we wholeheartedly recommend DJ Persist. Thank you, Jesse, for helping us create such wonderful memories!

cannot stress this enough, he really kept the crowd dancing all night ! We really loved the service!

along with what would work best with the venue. He helped us edit our first dance songs to give us smoother transitions and time out the songs to be similar lengths. There was a great online system that he offered which allowed you to categorize your songs into three categories, “must play,” “play if possible,” and “do not play”. Once we went through and made our selections, he took the time to review the lists with us and make sure we had a good variety that would hit every demographic at our wedding. He was clear and concise on the microphone when making announcements and worked well with our other vendors to stay on our timeline. He mashed up songs and provided great transitions so there was no down time between songs. At times the transition to the next song was a bit faster than we would have preferred but we were always impressed by the next song he chose and still kept the crowd on the dancefloor. We would recommend his services to anyone looking!

It was so easy to work with Jesse from beginning to very end. Very helpful and honest. We had a 250 guest count with a very diverse crowd. We didn’t chose a playlist instead we asked Jesse to take in account the diversity and to mix it up however he saw fit. Jesse understood the assignment because as soon as it was his turn to take over the music, he got our crowd going up until the very last dance! Not a single person was sitting. He even accommodated us with other unrelated things even though he did not have an obligation to. My only regret is not having more time allotted for the DJ portion as the crowd could not get enough. DJ PERSIST MADE OUR WEDDING a successful FUN event and we cannot thank him enough! Our guests were still raving about the DJ two days later. BOOK BOOK BOOK!

allow couples to plan their day down to the smallest detail. Above all else, though, he definitely knows how to read the room and play the perfect song for the moment. His music mixing is phenomenal - he had our dance floor completely full during our entire reception while making sure all of our "must play" songs made it into the playlist. We received countless compliments from our guests about how the music was the best they'd ever heard at a wedding. We simply cannot recommend Jesse enough!

using the planning portal. He also gave us advice on structuring our reception (entrance, dances, speeches, etc). Our guests were dancing the whole night. The dance floor was full from start to finish. Jesse did a great job mixing different styles of music. We highly recommend his services.

g, he was at the venue setting up early, even though the weather was bad. He understood the vibe we were going for a hit a perfect balance of playing the songs we requested as well and putting his own spin on it. We've gotten nothing but compliments about how great the music was and how the dance floor was full all night. Definitely recommend!!!

ve. We loved the technology he uses to create the perfect wedding playlist that fits our musical preferences. Day-of, he was a wonderful coordinator and host of the reception, keeping everyone entertained and on the dance floor to the early hours of the morning. We'd definitely recommend him.

to ensure we had everything needed for a successful night. He was a guest at our rehearsal party/hotel bar, yet was still doing his research and paid attention to what music our guests enjoyed. Jesse made our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception run smoothly. He made announcements, which was a great help and minimized running around. NUMEROUS guests came up to us and asked us where we found the DJ. Jesse kept the dance floor filled the entire night!

y generation and packed dance floor all night! Highly recommend DJ persist for your next event!!

edding. Once the date and pricing were set, we had a few virtual meetings to discuss further details. Online forms were provided to be specific about announcements, music cues and do/do not play lists. All of these were helpful in making the wedding flow more smoothly. Although our exact first dance song and a few song sets discussed prior were not played, the entire wedding as a whole was incredibly fun and forever memorable.

gested songs and he ran with it from there, he did a great job reading the room and keeping everyone on the dance floor. On top of that, the photo booth was a big hit, glad we added it. He was also very professional to work with, having several zoom calls before hand to confirm all of our details. We would definitely use or recommend him again for any entertainment needs.

en it was time for the last song. By the end of the night, we received so many compliments about him. 5 stars!

track when we were delayed. Most importantly, the music was spot on and my husband still talks about how good the music was. I just recently spoke to a friend who attended and she was very surprised to see so many people dancing at my wedding. Thanks again for for all of the great memories and getting people out on the dance floor.

mother requested an oldie song and he said no. I had to go up there and ask him myself. He tried to tell me he would have to completely change the genera for the next hour in order to play it. I said that was fine. As the bride, if I want a song, I expect the Dj to play it without any negotiation. There was also a drunk guy requesting to sing to us but was making insane demands. We sided with the Dj and tried to deescalate the situation but Persist was ready to fight. Which didn’t help. Overall, I think he’s worth every penny. If you are looking for a PROFESSIONAL dj for your party, he’s your guy.

ire for any of your events. From taking our engagement photos to even wedding photos my husband & I were very pleased with his services. He kept our dance floor packed & all of our guests enjoyed both the Audio Guestbook & Photo Booth . Our wedding was a blast & our guests can’t stop talking about it.

ools were a lifesaver and made it so easy for us to curate playlists and make sure we had the music we wanted. On the wedding day, Jesse did a great job facilitating speeches, introductions, etc., and many of our guests expressed how great the music/DJ was. Could not recommend enough!

When it comes to DJing skills, DJ Persist is in a league of his own. His mixing was flawless, seamlessly transitioning from one song to another and keeping the energy on the dance floor at an all-time high.
