JDubz was by far the best DJ I have ever experienced at a wedding and I’m glad he was the DJ for my wedding. He played all the music we requested prior to the wedding, and was even coming up to me during the wedding asking what songs I wanted t...
o hear next. Jdubz was actively involved with all the dancers and throwing in his special touches to make sure everyone was having a good time. After the wedding a lot of people came up to me and stated how much they enjoyed the music and DJ. I was like that’s my guy JDubz! If anyone is looking for a DJ this is your guy. Even during the best man’s speech he put together on the fly a song that was being talked about. Love this dude.

Wow! Thanks for this absolutely glowing review! We were excited to ring in 2023 with you for your wedding, and wish you both all the happiness there is! I loved partying with you and your family and friends were a fantastic crowd to work wit...

Extremely happy we had For the People Entertainment for our wedding. Jerald was amazing to work with and very attentive throughout our day, willing to help us in any way possible. He was very easy to communicate with and really made sure our gu...
ests were having a great time on the dance floor.

Thank you Amanda for the kind review! We do go out of our way to be easy to communicate with, to make any necessary changes along the way. One thing is for sure in any wedding, the best laid plans usually change, and we are adept at handling ...
all of those moving pieces to keep things moving the way you want. Thank you once again, and hope to see you again soon at other weddings, or perhaps your future anniversary celebrations!
Jerald (DJ JayDub) was absolutely amazing as our wedding DJ! From the first inquire he was very attentive and throughout the planning process was always there to answer my questions. We ended up having a rainy wedding day so we last minute had ...
to move the dinner portion indoors and Jerald was positive and super adaptable from the moment he arrived to the last song on the dance floor! Our guests were dancing all night long and we received many compliments on what a great DJ we hired. I will definitely recommend him to anyone I know having a wedding near or in Milwaukee.
Response from the Vendor on 09/02/2022
Thanks Macy! We are there to make your day as easy as possible, and so glad to hear that you were happy with the ease with which we could adapt to last minute changes. That's what we do-we celebrate with you no matter the circumstances! Thanks ...
again!
JayDub rocks! Not only did we and our wedding guests had so much fun dancing all night long, JayDub also helped things run smoothly throughout the entire wedding. The ceremony music was flawless, and he expertly set up the wireless mic for the ...
officiant to use. The cocktail hour music was excellent, and he did a great job announcing things to make sure guests knew what to do and where to go. During the reception, I felt so at ease as he introduced our wedding party and cued up the music for our first dance. Every moment felt fun, easy, and professional.
Once the dance floor opened, the party really got started. JayDub knew just what songs to play to keep our guests going. His services included fun lighting with a disco ball, and everything looked SO COOL! He read the room really well, and when it was clear most of us were rusty on our Wobble, he joined the dance floor to teach us. We had such a fun time, and we highly recommend JayDub as your wedding DJ!

to the fun part of the night we are ready to rock and roll! I'm glad that I could get out there to help you with the Wobble-that's what we do here at For the People, we're not afraid to get right in there and help everyone to feel comfortable enough to have fun and enjoy themselves.
Thanks again for such a great review!! Clients like you keep us growing and we appreciate you!
Loved for the people entertainment, and Jerald made the party!! He got my wedding party excited and ready for the grand March and kept the dance floor crowded all night. Would recommend them to anyone
Response from the Vendor on 08/14/2022
Thank you Destiny for the review! We always ask for the grand march information on our online planning forms for exactly this reason-we get to have all the names and make sure we know how to pronounce them, and we do just exactly what you want...

friends and family! Hopefully we'll get a chance to celebrate again together sometime! Thank you so much!!
I first heard Jerald of For the People Entertainment when I attended a wedding a few years back. I left that event feeling so impressed, I held onto his card for years until I got engaged, I knew at that moment we wouldn't go with anyone else. ...
Jerald is an amazing host and MC, full of smiles, charisma and a great singing voice (when he jumps in occasionally) to boot! He is extremely professional and responsive, he was able to accommodate all of our requests from using custom files for songs, to playing special songs / introducing special songs that had meaning to us. FTP is the best there is!
Response from the Vendor on 08/05/2022
Hi Natalie!
Thank you SO MUCH for your wonderful review! I'm so glad you could hang on to our business card for so long, and remembered us when it was your turn to have a wonderful celebration! Perhaps we'll be able to see you again at your ...
friend's weddings, or maybe even your own anniversary celebrations :)
Thanks again!
Jerald and his team were AMAZING. Don’t think twice about booking them. We got so many compliments from our guests. Our wedding day ran a bit behind schedule and they just rolled with the punches. Incredible. They read our crowd perfectly and k...

Omg!!! We loved Jerald and his team! They were seriously amazing from day 1. Their website is super easy to follow, so all of your special moments are catered exactly how you want. The communication was outstanding! You’ll literally be walked t...
hrough the entire day/ night (first on the website and then with Jerald to confirm… he and his team are available in between time too). We had a large wedding (190 people) from 2yrs old- 80yrs old and there was an amazing mix for all generations. From baby shark to 70s hits! But it was mixed so perfectly that you didn’t even realize you were dancing to a kids song at first 🤣. No one sat down, it was so fun! Everyone had an amazing time, especially us! For The People is the definitely for the people LOL ok that was corny but seriously, they absolutely understood the assignment ✅ They even reached out after the wedding to congratulate us again and make sure we were satisfied. I’m sure they have a lot of projects but they will truly make you feel like you are the most important couple of the year. I’m so happy they were able to make our day complete ❤️
Response from the Vendor on 01/29/2022

eived, and really happy to know just how satisfied you were! Thank you for choosing us, and we hope we can be of service again sometime-maybe for an anniversary party???? Just throwing it out there! LOL
Cannot rave enough about FTP entertainment. Jerald is OUTSTANDING to work with, and he kept the dance floor full all night! He was out dancing with the guests at multiple points in the night and looks like he is having a blast himself. He is fu...
n, friendly, and went above and beyond to make our day perfect. Everyone RAVED about the music and I would recommend him to anyone. He is also very reasonably priced compared to every other DJ we looked at, and FTP is worth every penny. Do not even think twice-hire him! It was a party!!

Music and everything was great! We got tons of compliments from guests on how well the dj was doing the entire night. Super easy to work with and we have absolutely zero complaints.
Our guests and family kept asking where we found our DJ because of how amazing he did. He did everything we asked, played all the requests, and pumped up the crowd. We are so grateful for J.

Thank you Nathan for such a kind review! We are so happy that you had a wonderful time. We are happy to be there for our clients every step of the way. After all that's what makes For the People Entertainment what we are...for the people! :)
Jerald (J-Dub, the people’s DJ) was AMAZING! We booked him for our wedding this past weekend and our guests cannot stop talking about how incredible he was. Half of our guests don’t typically dance, but he was able to get them on the dance floo...
r and enjoy themselves. He really knows how to work the crowd, but more importantly, how to read the crowd and change the music to keep the dance going. His pricing is incredibly reasonable, and honestly, I think he’s worth way more than what he charges (yes, Jerald, you’re worth it!). We had multiple guests come ask for his contact info to possibly use him in the future and one aunt mentioned the day after the wedding she ran into an engaged couple in the area and passed his contact info to them and highly recommended they book him for their wedding. I reached out to 6-7 DJ’s during our planning, and Jerald was by far the most responsive and professional in his communication. I would actually say out of all of my vendors, he was the easiest to communicate with, and brides, we all know how important this is to manage our stress! I gave him the wrong phone number to contact me (sorry!) and he just took control and got everything done despite the confusion. Jerald and FTP, thank you from the bottom of my heart for such an amazing night! I don’t doubt we’ll be hearing about you from family and friends for years to come.

Hi Kelly!
Wow, thank you so much for the kind words! It is our pleasure to have been able to make your day so special. Even though we had the wrong number for you, our planning forms online were all filled out by you and Zach and we were pr...
epared to handle whatever was thrown at us. Thank you for being so thorough in all your online planning forms it made a huge difference. We would be thrilled to see you both at the next wedding that your friends/family choose with us!
We hired Jerald for our micro-wedding this past weekend and he made it an amazing night!! I was nervous about how the night would turn out on the dance floor, knowing that it was such a small crowd but Jerald kept the night alive and kept peopl...
e on the dance floor all night long. We had planned a “question game” with my husband and I but I forgot the list of questions I was going to bring. Jerald told me not to worry as he looked up questions on his own and made the game a success! I received many compliments on our DJ for the night and am confident we made the right choice! I would recommend him to anyone planning a wedding!
Best DJ ever!! Jdub did a great job getting people to the dance floor and brought a ton a fun energy. I would recommend For the People Entertainment to anyone!

Thank you Bryanna, it is our pleasure! We are so glad we could make your day special and memorable!
I first met Jerald at a bridal expo and I immediately knew he was the DJ I was going to hire for my wedding! I was so impressed with his professionalism and loved his personality! Leading up to our wedding day he was very easy to contact and al...
ways responded to texts and emails, and answered any questions! At our wedding he played everything we and the guests requested! And he also danced and sang along with us all night! After our wedding we had guests complimenting our DJ and asking for his information! If we ever have another event where we need a DJ, Jerald will be our first call!
Response from the Vendor on 04/14/2021
Thank you for the kind words! We are so happy that we were able to make your day so special! We will be glad to entertain you for any other events you may have in the future ;)
Jerald was AMAZING! We got married in 2019 and still have people rave about the music at our wedding and how amazing our DJ was. Jerald was professional and so nice throughout the whole process, and was such a great addition to our wedding memo...
ries. You will NOT be disappointed with FTPE!
Response from the Vendor on 01/12/2021
Thanks Katie! We truly enjoyed being able to take part in your special day. We are glad that you had a great time, and are still able to hear from your happy wedding guests about how fun the night was!
Jerald was amazing. He had everything under control from walking us through everything beforehand to the last dance. I felt like I didn’t have to worry about anything. A great personality and kept us dancing all night long. I had multiple pe...
ople contact me for his information after the wedding. If I ever get married again (fingers crossed I don’t) I would go with For the People no doubt!
Jerald did an amazing job at our wedding. He is very friendly, professional, and fun. We had so many compliments on our DJ and his music choices to keep everyone on the dance floor the whole night. He dances and sings along so it’s a non-stop p...

Response from the Vendor on 07/14/2020
Thank you Natalie! We had a great time right along with you! Glad we could make it a non stop party and help to bring those memories to you and your friends and family!
We saw Jerald DJ a friend's wedding. We loved the energy he brought and knew we had to book him for ours the following year. We've interacted with some rude DJs at other weddings, or DJs who are a little too involved in talking during the recep...
tion. We experienced none of these issues with Jerald. We were pleasantly surprised at how affordable he was while still providing top notch DJ services. He was personable, funny, and easy to communicate with. I also liked that he had an online platform so we could pick specific songs to play or to NOT play (so important!). He did everything we asked for our wedding and make the reception a lot of fun. He knows how to feed off the energy of the crowd as the night goes on. Highly recommended!
Great DJ for our wedding! They met with me before our wedding to plan something special for our first dance, we discussed songs I wanted to not play and they played all of my requests. They also kept guests entertained by bringing out a microph...
one to sing at some points. Highly recommend!
For the People Entertainment was amazing and I highly recommend! He was very organized with a website that allowed me to pick songs I liked and didn't like, as well as information about the wedding party, etc. He called me before the wedding ...
to go over all of my selections on the website. He was prompt to my venue and everyone had good things to say about him. He had everyone on the dance floor having a good time. Pick For the People Entertainment for your DJ and you will not be disappointed.
Response from the Vendor on 07/11/2020
Thank you Katie! Yes, we have re-designed our website since then, but we still have the same planning tools you're referring to, and it really helps us to know what each couple is really looking for!
DJ Gerald is the best! He DJ’d another wedding we were guests at and we knew we had to have him! Awesome energy and vibe. Keeps the party going all night! One of my best friends booked him for her wedding and he even helped me surprise her with...
a maid-of-honor speech to Ice, Ice, Baby! There isn’t anything he can’t do. Highly recommend.
Response from the Vendor on 07/11/2020
Thanks Krystle! My wife actually remembers this well, as she accompanied me to your best friend's wedding. I had recently torn my ACL and needed help setting up equipment. Very memorable surprise as well!
Everyone had a blast at my wedding. Our music choice was great and respected my husband’s very religious family. My parents even danced for the first time in over 30 years!!
