In my humble opinion, DJs and other vendors really succeed at their jobs when it everything appears effortless and seamless with your evening. We hired Luke for our wedding, and he absolutely killed it. Prior to the wedding we had a little video call with him, and we knew we liked him right away. He honored all of our personal requests, as well as adding music that fit in perfectly with the other music we selected. The order of songs, the lights, reading the crowd... It was a magical night thanks to him! He had total control of the vibe of the evening, and my wife and I were free to enjoy ourselves, knowing we were in great hands :)
We worked with Matthew during our wedding and he was an amazing DJ! All the songs we wanted to hear were played throughout the wedding and the reception was so much fun thanks to the music. I'd very much recommend working with Luke and Matthew for your wedding!
Luke did such an amazing job keeping the vibe of the wedding exactly what we wanted! His timing on the songs and being flexible depending on the mood was great! Highly recommend!
Any questions?
We could not have asked for a better DJ experience! Luke was amazing both leading up to our wedding and during our actual wedding day. He was flexible and accommodating and kept our day running smoothly. We didn't have a day-of-coordinator so Luke was hugely helpful in ensuring we stuck to our timeline. We appreciated his MCing so much. He also played GREAT music, playing lots of our own requests as well as incorporating his own picks based on the music we shared. We'd recommend him over and over again.
Luke was great! We got lots of compliments not just on the music but on Luke personally. One of my friends is the next to get married and had detailed notes one everything. He said Luke really stuck out. The music was the right volume, and he was always there but never in the way, and kept the vibes going. He talked with my wife before the wedding and we let him know the music we like and the vibes we wanted. Luke truly nailed it. Multiple people said it was one of the most fun weddings they had been to and a lot of that we have Luke to thank.
Our experience with Luke at Gold Mountain in July was fantastic. He communicated very well with us prior to our ceremony and worked with us to tailor playlists for each portion of our wedding. He coordinated well with our officiant to ensure that ceremony microphones, sound, and music were incorporated seemlessly. The music selection and transitions during cocktail hour and dinner were perfect, and he kept our guests dancing throughout our reception :) All of our interactions with Luke were very professional - we highly recommend him!

Luke was a wonderful addition to our magical day! Communication was easy and he was very welcoming and excited from the moment I reached out for his services. Service packages also included a photobooth which was such a fun addition! Definitely 10/10 would recommend for the next lovely couples looking for a dj!
Luke was a great DJ! He was able to read the room and play music that got everyone on the dance floor! He did a great job and we would highly recommend him!
Luke was an absolute gem between the conversations about the contract, any questions we had, all the way to his performance the day of. Could not recommend him enough!
We just HAD to shout from the rooftops (or, you know, social media!) about the incredible DJ who made our daughter's event an absolute blast - Luke from Elevated Sound & Entertainment!
From the moment he was nominated for "The Knot's Best of Weddings 2023," we knew we had chosen wisely. But honestly, he surpassed even our wildest expectations! Luke wasn't just a DJ; he was a master of ceremony, a vibe curator, and a dance floor conductor extraordinaire!
Here's why Luke gets a resounding FIVE STARS (and then some!):
Musical Maestro: Luke has an encyclopedic knowledge of music! He seamlessly weaved together our daughter's eclectic playlist with crowd-pleasing classics, keeping everyone on the dance floor all night long. He even threw in a couple of surprise requests that had everyone singing their hearts out!
Master of the Mix: The sound quality was crystal clear and perfectly balanced, from the softest ceremony music to the heart-pounding reception beats. Luke's attention to detail ensured the music enhanced every moment without ever overpowering it.
Party Pro: Luke has the charisma of a rockstar and the energy of a Duracell bunny! He kept the party flowing with smooth transitions, witty banter, and genuine enthusiasm. His infectious energy even got the most wallflowers grooving!
Professional to the Core: Luke was organized, prepared, and a pleasure to work with. He met with us beforehand to discuss our vision and kept us in the loop throughout the entire planning process. On the day itself, he was calm, cool, and collected, ready to handle any curveball that came his way.
Event Wizard: Beyond the music, Luke went above and beyond to make our daughter's day truly special. He helped coordinate with other vendors, kept the timeline on track, and even stepped in to troubleshoot any technical hiccups. He was one-stop shop for all things entertainment! ✨
If you're looking for a DJ who will transform your wedding into an unforgettable celebration, look no further than Luke and Elevated Sound & Entertainment. He earned his "Best of Weddings" nomination (and then some!), and we whole-heartedly give him our five-star recommendation and endless gratitude!
Cheers to Luke and Elevated Sound & Entertainment - you ROCK! ❤️
P.S. If you're reading this, Luke, THANK YOU for making our daughter's event the happiest day of her life (so far!). Your talent, professionalism, and genuine spirit made it a night we'll never forget!

DJ Luke made our wedding day so seamless! He was super responsive and helpful during the planning process. We utilized Elevate Sound and Entertainment for both DJ and Photo Booth services. The Photo Booth was a huge hit and DJ Luke kept everyone on the dance floor all night! I was very particular about transitions between ceremony and reception, introductions, etc, and I really appreciated DJ Luke’s efforts in making sure he understood what I was wanting, and everything worked out perfectly!
Luke is fantastic! He knows how to read the room and smoothly make transitions throughout the day! We couldn’t have been more pleased with his easy going personality and professionalism
I could not have had a better experience with Elevate and with Luke, specifically. Throughout the entire process, he was highly responsive, asked the right questions without being overbearing, and created the exact vibe we wanted on the day of the wedding.
From the beginning to the end they were very professional!! All questions were answered and support and ideas were given when we need the help! I will gladly and have already recommended Elevate!
Luke was amazing and helped make our day more special!
Luke was such a great DJ at our wedding! From the first initial call he was so laid back and asked questions on what we wanted/ didn’t want. I knew we wanted him right away after our first conversation! Luke did our music seamlessly and many guests told us the dance floor was amazing!! Thank you, Luke!!
By far the best DJ you could ever have. Luke was soo awesome and willing to change things up last minute when the weather didn’t cooperate and some other changes. He enjoyed himself and everyone couldn’t stop talking about how much fun they had dancing. He is the kindest person and made my now husband and I feel very special on our day. If you’re looking for your wedding DJ, Luke is your guy.
Really seamless time booking them, very punctual and professional. Did a great job announcing the sequence of events. Really friendly and personable DJ! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a DJ!
Luke was awesome! My wedding was chaotic but he went with the flow! Highly recommended.
Luke was amazing to work with for our wedding! He was responsive when communicating before the wedding and was amazing to have on our day. He is mighty talented in his craft and made our day seamless with the sound!
Luke is very kind and I would 100% recommend him to anyone with a big upcoming event.
We worked with Luke to get all the details in order and then DJ Matthew pumped up the jams at our wedding! The process was easy, straightforward and Matthew did a phenomenal job making sure our songs were played at the appropriate times and that the ceremony and reception went smoothly. Their equipment at Elevate is top of the line and we didn’t have to worry about mics cutting out or anything like that. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a wedding DJ in the Seattle area!
Luke was really great to work with!! I met with a lot of DJs for my wedding and really appreciated the help Luke provided from the time we met and even after my wedding. He did such a great job at my wedding. I wanted to change a few things on a whim during my wedding and he went with the flow swimmingly!! Would definitely hire him again!!
My partner and I were so grateful to have Luke as our DJ. He met with us to understand the vibe we were looking for at our wedding and followed through on that. The pre-wedding checklist was helpful and followed perfectly. Luke was also incredibly helpful in working with our officiant to set up the audio for the ceremony. We also got the photobooth from Elevate and it was a big hit. We're so grateful for Luke and Elevate Sounds & Entertainment for helping us host a wonderful event!
Like was great throughout the process and communicated very well with us and let us put our own touch to wedding playlist. Matt was our DJ and he did wonderfully!
Luke was a wonderful DJ and MC for our wedding. He strikes the perfect balance of being chill, friendly, and energetic. It was so easy and fun to work with Luke. We brainstormed on songs and trivia games for our reception, and he had great ideas and understood our vision. During the wedding, Luke executed wonderfully. He mixed our songs so well, added some really cool tracks of his own, and adapted them to the vibe of the crowd extremely acutely. His MC’ing was spot on, especially since some of our events were a bit unique. He helped create such a wonderful atmosphere that everyone loved. We highly recommend him!
Awesome DJ! We really had a great time with Luke bringing the tunes & the photo booth. Our guests keep telling us how fun our wedding was and a big part of that is thanks to the great entertainment from Elevate! Soon to be brides need to look no further!
We had a great experience with Elevate Sound & Entertainment as the DJ for our wedding! Luke was helpful in the planning process, meeting with us before we booked him to chat through what the experience could look like, things to consider, and extra services we wanted to add. We went with his silver package, adding a few extra hours and a bubble machine for our send off. The set up was great - we had awesome audio during our ceremony (no one likes when you can't hear the vows!) and great background music during dinner. Luke ensured our timeline stayed on track, helping with announcements and guiding guests where they should go. He was friendly, on time, and super easy to work with. We are so happy we went with him, and highly recommend his services!
We hired Elevate for our wedding and couldn't have been happier!! Luke was incredibly responsive throughout the booking & planning process, offering advice & making it easy. When it came to the wedding day everything went so smoothly, the timing on all of the music was flawless. Our dance party was amazing! The lights, music, and mixing were fantastic and he knew exactly how to read the crowd and deliver a great set! Highly recommended!
Luke & his team was fun, friendly, well prepared, and did an amazing job for our wedding! We added the photo booth to our DJ package and we were so glad we did, it was so much fun on the dance floor & our guests had a blast taking photos and now we have many great memories to save and look back on fondly. Thank you DJ Luke & Elevate!!
Great event experience! All outdoor venue and DJ Matt did an awesome job.
We had DJ Matt at our wedding and I can’t say enough good things! He was friendly, fun, engaged and a perfect MC! I coordinated with Luke prior to the event and it was by far the easiest vendor to plan with. Luke knows what he’s doing so you don’t have to worry about anything else. I would highly recommend Elevate Sound & Entertainment for your wedding - you will be in amazing, experienced hands!
We were very happy with Luke and his team, all of our music cues were handled perfectly, and the dancing playlist was a lot of fun. We really liked the opportunity to review our cocktail hour/dinner playlist, and still enjoy listening to it!
Luke was absolutely amazing for us. He was punctual to each meeting we set up with him and very detail oriented during them. He was able to take the songs we wanted as we walked down the aisle and morph them into exactly what we had pictured. He and his trainee also made sure that the list of songs we wanted played and even were willing to stay later for us! They kept the party going for sure!
Luke did a great job at our wedding! He knew how to keep the party moving and people on the dance floor which made for a super fun atmosphere! He listened to our song recommendations but knew when to play them for the most impact on the event. We would definitely recommend using him for your events!
We had an excellent experience working with Luke for our wedding — he was professional, communicative, and the ceremony / music / toasts / announcements during our event all sounded great. Luke was willing to work through some extra logistical details regarding our multi-roomed venue, was on-board and easy to work with regarding our covid safety policies, he helped us pull off a successful hora (Jewish chair dance). We felt like we were in good hands beginning to end, and we really appreciated having one less thing to feel stressed about!

Thank you Kimberly!
Luke was awesome. I quite literally danced my pants off (anyone have a favorite tailor they can point me to?). He was on top of everything, he went the extra mile to accommodate our picky music selection and help us with announcements when we were too busy, and his equipment was top-notch. He is truly a professional at what he does. Dozens of people have told me that our wedding was the best they've ever been to, and we have Luke to thank for that. He crushed it! If anyone asks me for DJ recommendations in the future, I won't hesitate to point them to Luke.
Thanks again for making our wedding/party one for the record books!
Luke was awesome!!! He was so great to work with and a huge help throughout the wedding planning process. He had all of the equipment we needed to have live music (just two singers and two instruments) for our first dance song and was so understanding about any changes I wanted to make along the way. He did such a great job at the reception, everyone had such a blast dancing the night away. Absolutely recommend!!
Luke was fantastic! Professional, reliable, and a great DJ/MC. We highly recommend for your wedding reception, or any other event for that matter. We did not need any up lighting or extras so cannot speak to that, but I can only imagine it would have been a wonderful addition.
Luke is a great DJ and made our wedding super fun. Definitely understands people and knows how to read the vibe. Would highly recommend him to anyone else getting married or in need of a DJ for an event. He is fine personable and a damn good DJ
Luke was such a blast! We couldn't have hand-selected a better DJ for our wedding. Not only was he professional and communicative, he knew exactly how to get the crowd dancing and all of our guests remarked on how great the music was. We didn't want the night to end! He helped us throw the party of our dreams and we can't thank him enough! Now we just need to find a reason to hire him again for another event!
Luke was awesome! I had a few requests ahead of time, but mainly let him decide the playlist, and he catered to all of my guests song requests... even the strange ones. To top it off, he hauled equipment up a mountain (via gondola) with a broken foot! Couldn't have been happier with his service.
Absolutely great DJ for a wedding reception and party! We chose Elevate Sound & Entertainment for our daughter's wedding reception because Luke came highly recommended from a friend whose own daughter had hired him for her wedding a few months ago. We had high expectations, and he did not disappoint. Everyone--including the bride--told us that they had fun.
Luke was easy and enjoyable to work with! He made the whole process before the wedding stress free and was very communicative. He was punctual, and helped make our wedding day amazing and everything went on without a hitch!
We hired Luke to DJ our wedding, and we are so happy that he did! He had a great music setup and was friendly and professional. He did an amazing job with creating a playlist that fit perfectly to our tastes. He was also super accommodating with our COVID wedding that didn’t have traditional dances and brought a projector for our alternate activities (games, slideshow, etc.) He even set everything up and ran our wedding with his leg in a cast, but that didn’t slow him down at all!
Luke is an absolute top-notch DJ with amazing prices and an incredible wealth of knowledge on music. We hired Luke for our late September wedding and he was incredibly flexible and easy to work with. We came with a playlist we wanted to include, and Luke happily played everything we wanted to hear and more! If you are looking for an easy-going DJ with tons of knowledge, your search stops here. We cannot recommend Luke enough.
Luke was very professional and created a fun musical environment! He was on point with the bride and groom's song lists and always had a smile to share. We can't thank him enough for adding to the magical day!
It was a pleasure working with Luke for our wedding. We had to find a new DJ after our previous one backed out on us a couple months before the wedding, but we're happy we found Luke. He was responsive, easy to work with, and he had an excellent playlist for our wedding!
Luke was an amazing DJ/Emcee! He was willing to work with whatever ideas I had and I was impressed with his set up. We set up a live stream for our wedding for our guests that were unable to make it in person and Luke had a set up that was so great and our guests heard everything perfectly! He even have a mic headset for our officiant! I had timing with songs that I needed Luke's help with and he made sure to make it happen!
Thank you so much Luke!

Thanks for the kind words Jobbie! Had a great time being a part of your wedding day
We were pretty picky in selecting our wedding vendors. We talked to many different people/companies and nothing quite fit. We wanted a DJ that was professional and capable, without being from one of the massive DJ companies (we've had some bad experiences before). We also didn't want to be in a situation with an under qualified "budget" DJ. Elevate was the perfect blend of personal but professional. while being a one man operation he has the equipment and experience to rival the bigger entertainment businesses. Luke was easy to work with, well prepared, and knew how to make our party take off! We had such a fun time dancing and didn't have to worry about anything. At the end of the night our friends were literally chanting "One more song"- nobody wanted to quit! Since I was the one who found his services, it also helped me earn bonus points with my bride. Thanks Luke!
Response from the Vendor on 01/11/2021
HAHA! Happy to help you earn those points AJ! Thanks for everything you said here, credit also goes to you, Sarah, and your awesome friends/family for bringing so much good energy and making for an epic dance party!
My husband and I loved having Luke as our DJ! He loves what he does, and it shows! We had fun getting to know him during the booking process and he was helpful in recommending music that went right along with our preferences. Leading up to the wedding he was super fast and responsive to any questions/concerns that we had. Day of the wedding he arrived very early and was well prepared. His enthusiasm made an amazing day that much more exciting! I definitely recommend paying the extra for lighting effects, two years later my friends are still talking about how cool it looked! The uplighting made the venue look almost unrecognizable and set an awesome mood. 10/10 recommend!
Response from the Vendor on 01/11/2021
Thank you for your kind words Hailey! I return that compliment as you and Andrew were both fun and easy to work with as well! Cheers to 2 years of marriage (soon to be 3!), wishing you both the best
Luke is very prompt and flexible in our customized request in our wedding. In this challenging year, we're lucky to find a DJ like Luke that can suite our customized needs. He responds emails quickly and he is very approachable and proactive in discussing the details to make sure that we get what we want. I would definitely recommend him to my friends.
Response from the Vendor on 01/11/2021
Thanks Yijin! Glad we could still have your beautiful wedding take place in spite of all that happened last year. Cheers to a new year!
Awesome DJ! Was a really easy process booking and planning the event with him. Had great customer service which helped out with stress. He’s got a great taste in music! Knew exactly what to play and when, really made the party fun!
Luke was an incredible DJ. A big part of the night my wife and I wanted to be special was the dancing. Luke kept the dance floor full the whole evening! Big thanks to Luke for being a part of such an amazing day!
We greatly enjoyed having Luke as our wedding DJ. He was organized and well prepared, sent us music ideas and took our preferences into account. For the ceremony he had a wireless earpiece microphone, which our pastor appreciated. Then during the reception he kept the music at appropriate levels and timed his announcements to keep the evening going as scheduled. When it came to dancing our guests had so much fun, thank you Luke!
Response from the Vendor on 01/11/2021
Greatly appreciate your recommendation Felicia! It was so much fun being a part of your special day :)
Luke was such a blessing to have DJ our wedding. He created a great atmosphere and was very accommodating to our request for specific songs. It was so nice not to have to worry about our reception, after a long wedding day. He was very professional and I would absolutely hire him again for any event or wedding.
Luke made everything so easy for our wedding! He is a positive, relaxed person who offers very professional service. He was very available leading up to the day, we exchanged ideas, music requests, and he responded by making personalized playlists that our guests LOVED! Planning our wedding was at times stressful, but having Luke on board made the music portion of planning stress free and fun. At the end of the night our guests didn't want to stop dancing!
Response from the Vendor on 08/12/2020
Thanks Ashley! You're wedding was such a good time that it made my job easy as well!
We were honored to be the first ever couple to get hitched with Luke as their DJ. My wife and I approached him due to his passion for music, DJing and in general just being an awesome person. He originally was just hosting dance parties for fun and did such an incredible job with them we knew he would make our wedding special. We were not disappointed, Luke met with us to go over our music preferences and worked with us to come up with not only the perfect playlist but also plans for introductions etc... If you're looking for a DJ who is passionate about music, will do anything to accommodate your needs and will bring out the energy in all your guests, Luke is your guy!
Response from the Vendor on 08/12/2020
Thanks for your kind words Alex, can't believe it's been FIVE YEARS!!
I am so happy with our reception thanks to Luke Jacobsen Dj Services! Our reception just kept going and we always had people on the dance floor! We still have guests tell us how much they enjoyed the music and the dance party! He made it so easy I didn’t have to plan anything and it turned out amazing!
