James Daniel Music, Entertainment A/V & Event lighting

know how much fun they had and how great the DJ was. Jimmy was professional, easy to work with, fun, and had the best ideas! He took it upon himself to come up with some unique song playings and dances during the wedding as well. If you're looking for a DJ- James Daniel is your vendor! They will not disappoint. Jimmy made our wedding the success it was and we will be forever grateful to him!!

ncredibly kind person that puts his heart and soul into his work. His site for listing our must play, should play and do NOT play songs was super easy to use and helped make sure whatever we REALLY wanted was played. He did an excellent job taking what we liked there and choosing the perfect mix of popular music, country and classic rock to keep the party going all night! He made the suggestion for us to go right into a party song after our entrance, getting the energy in the right place and having everyone up and on the dancefloor. Then we went into our first dance and from there kept the dancing going all night! He did a great job of MCing the night and completely blew our guests away with his incredible singing voice. People said to me after - we couldn't believe it was him singing it sounded just like the real song!! We loved him and highly recommend him for any upcoming event you need a DJ for!!!

he must play and songs you don’t want him to not play, but he knows how to read the crowd so it isn’t worth getting too detailed. We had about half the guests in their late 20s and the other half in their late 50s yet he had them all in the dance floor together. And guests were blown away by his singing during dinner. Such a beautiful voice it took a minute to even realize he was singing. We also had him play tradition wedding songs during the ceremony and his timing was perfect.

ng was SO MUCH FUN. Everyone had an amazing time dancing. He took our requests and offered his advice and suggestions, and made the day run so smoothly. Highly highly recommend DJ Paul for your wedding or event!

ul job! Big Daddy (Sean) was also so responsive and helpful with all our questions prior to choosing them. Highly recommend this team. Pooja and Deepak

very easy to work with.

s, we decided on Sean “Big Daddy.” He was the last DJ we spoke to and instantly felt he was the perfect fit to our big day. Without previous knowledge, we learned Sean was an old childhood friend of my Great Uncle and worked closely with many close friends during their celebrations as well. This just gave us even more confidence in our decision! Leading up to the big day, Sean was always quick to respond, but truly provided us with so much information and assistance that minimal contact was needed, which was great because we had many calls, emails, and texts to tent to! James Daniel provided us with access to our own planning website that allowed us to select songs we absolutely had to hear, did NOT want to hear, and wanted to hear if there was time in the evening. My husband and I listen to a wide variety of music, as do our guests, so it was important to us that all genres were represented on our day. Throughout the entirety of our event, there was never not 20+ guests on the dance floor. Sean sang songs, felt out the crowd, and kept everyone moving, just as we had asked! It’s important for us to note that we did not have anything specific in mind for how we were doing to enter the reception and be announced for the first time. Sean gave us a few ideas that were true to us, and we trusted him to feel out the moment. He is a professional through and through and we could not recommend him more! It was the party of a lifetime and truly could not have happened without Big Daddy!

nd really cares about what he does! At the reception in between dances/toasts he made it interactive experience for the guests and did a great job getting everyone to the dance floor! He also surprised us with singing a little of his own and he has an amazing voice! We also used James Daniel for our photo booth which was great because they gave us so many copies and our own album of our pictures but the props could have been better. Highly recommend Big Daddy our your wedding DJ/announcer!

Daddy is AWESOME" and even at the morning after brunch everyone was still raving about how awesome he was. Could not recommend him more. The event portal on the company website made everything so easy to request songs and organize everything ahead of time. They also did the uplighting and photobooth and both were great. So happy Big Daddy was part of our special day - highly recommend!

ready to celebrate as soon as the evening began! My husband and I were able to make our own playlist for cocktail hour, and we compiled a number of our favorite songs for the dance floor. All of our guests had an amazing time!

hroughout the wedding planning process he stayed in touch and eased my mind. I was sending him texts the whole week before and he was responsive and assured me it would be amazing. The day of the wedding he EXCEEDED our expectations. He promised he’d get the crowd dancing for a day wedding and he was absolutely right! The dance floor was full and there was so much joy on our guests’ faces! Days later they are still talking about Big Daddy. We cannot thank him enough for making the day SO special and we now consider him like family. You will not regret using this vendor!

and I knew we had to have him! From start to finish, Big Daddy made us feel like we were the most important couple, and he was as excited as we were to celebrate our love. I had a lot of very specific requests for music selections as well as a long "Do Not Play" list. Big Daddy was more than accommodating, going as far as extending my music preferences and themes into more elements of the reception that I didn't think about. In a heartbeat I would book him again and again for any future events I may have. He literally got everyone on the dance floor, even guests who said they would never get up to dance. He made it so fun that many people left their tables completely to surround the dance floor to watch the party unfold. I don't have enough words to thank him. Your DJ is more than music, it is the party, the excitement, and the thread that ties every element together. Big Daddy makes it seamless, smooth, and filled with so much fun and laughter. THANK YOU!!!

s. I didn’t even notice but our guests told us he was singing a few songs and that he was excellent! A very talented Individual and his spirit will liven up your party! Easiest hire you can make and fairly priced. Thanks Sean!!

ht decision when his name was at the top of the recommended vendors list. Big Daddy Sean had been the DJ at my older sister’s wedding and had gotten every guest out of their chairs and onto the dance floor. This was exactly what I envisioned for my own wedding and I knew that he was the guy to get that job done. Throughout the entire process, he was always available to talk to me if I had any questions. He also made sure before the big day to go through all the important information with me, which took a lot of stress off my shoulders. The day of the wedding, he did exactly what I had hoped for, he kept the dance floor packed! My guests still talk about how great he was, and how this was one of the best weddings they had ever attended. Thank you so much Big Daddy Sean for making our day so enjoyable!

ul! Can’t recommend Jim & the James Daniel team enough!

and he is friendly and professional. He's got great communication and walked us through the music for our ceremony and reception. He kept our guests on the dance floor by playing great music all night long. Paul helped make our wedding perfect!

rson to DJ the most important event thus far in your son's wedding: James Daniel Entertainment A/V & Event Lighting - Paul Lacano <paul@jamesdaniel.com. Nico came through -- music was great for ceremony and party. The crowd was hopping and it wasn't so loud that you couldn't hear the person next to you. Nico is a master! Paul Lacano .. coordinator.. a rescuer. It was as if they didn't miss a beat even though they had a week to put this together. Do not pass go, do not bother with any other company -- these people are professional, reliable and all around fantastic!

they had never been to a wedding where the entire dance floor was full the majority of the evening. Jimmy really was amazing to work with during the event. We even had some unplanned karaoke because my new husband insisted on having the microphone. :) Duke gives his regards. James Daniel Music was an excellent choice and we would recommend them to anyone. Thank you for making our special day better than we thought possible!!!

the night exciting and fun. He did not let us down one bit and made sure we understood what was going on at each moment and re-assured us time and time again that everything was going to run smoothly. He accommodated our last minute requests and was extremely complimentary of our wedding. I couldn't have had a better experience and he really made our night one we will never forget!

much fun and they all keep telling us how great our dj was. He even sang a few of the songs and I was floored with how good he was! All of our song requests were played, I didn't hear a single song on the do not play list", and he had a great selection of songs to play throughout the night. We had asked for the Tarantella to be played (an Italian tradition) and he made it happen! Do not look for any other dj for your wedding, Big Daddy was the best!

or him, and brought them to life. He knew how to get the crowd up and dancing between courses, and even SANG for the crowd! My musical theatre friends were extremely impressed with his vocals! One of my other favorite moments, is when I realized that Big Daddy was playing the Greatest Showman during our cocktail hour, knowing we loved the musical based off our first dance. If you want a DJ who gets to know you, your taste in music, gets all your guests up and moving, and surprises the crowd with an amazing voice, Big Daddy is the DJ for you!

some mix for all ages and ensured that the dance floor was packed all night! Jimmy even heeded our request for no line dances, so much so that he "stood up to" the mother of the bride! That's a brave DJ! He also did a great job MCing and keeping everything moving. Leading up to the wedding, he took the time to talk often with my husband and me, to get to know us, and really put us at ease. We have been to many weddings, and some with James Daniel DJs, and there is NO comparison!!! My only little notes were that you need to be VERY specific about ALL your needs, and Jimmy will heed them: for example, we requested some standard country songs, and Jimmy played all the country songs almost immediately at the reception, all in rapid succession (usually they're best a little later in the evening, and not all together!); he also ended the night with "Proud to Be An American" for no discernible reason, much to the chagrin of my husband and me (instead of something like "Friends in Low Places" or whatever). So, just be specific about your needs and he will do it!

a wonderful time all of our guests have! Do not hesitate to book Jimmy and his team!

their event. Big Daddy had everyone on the dance floor from the start all the way until the last song! I can’t tell you how many compliments I got from everyone praising Big Daddy for his energy, awesome singing voice, and music line-up! I can’t thank DJ Big Daddy enough for making our wedding one for the books! Big Daddy is one of the most genuine and awesome people we have ever met! His presence is a ray of sunshine and makes you feel like family! He was a pleasure to work with and I can’t recommend him enough!

the board. Not to mention an incredible DJ/host for our wedding. Big Daddy kept in touch with me a year and a half before the wedding because I would harass him on a monthly basis with new concerns and worries I had. Big Daddy managed to talk me off the ledge before he ever met me. I consider myself blessed I got to have him for our wedding. Luckily I booked far in advance!

what to do and when. Second, he knows how to mix different genres together. Before the event he asked for 10 songs. We provided him 10 songs but made it difficult by giving him many different genres (classics, pop, salsa, 80s, romantic, electronic). He made it work! All our guest loved him and were most impressed with his voice and that he sung some of the songs. Big Daddy played a major role in making our wedding perfect.

the dance floor from the beginning. We can’t say thank you enough and highly recommend him. Thank you!

im at our special event, thank again for everything!!

am eternally grateful for his contribution to this wonderful event.

Big Daddy had EVERYONE up and dancing from beginning until end of my wedding, and worth every penny. I am so grateful to have been able to have him as my DJ, caring, friendly, and just a joy to work with and one of the best decisions I made for my wedding.

rom the minute I contacted him. From there every correspondence and all the planning went super smooth. He even met with me to get a copy of the song I wrote for "the first dance". Now flash to the day of our wedding, he showed up with true excitement and skill. From the moment he set up his equipment, the music selection was perfect. He was able to play the music requests I asked both for the ceremony and the reception. Personally I like Christian music and he made it seemlessly coincide with all the other dance music. He was even able to switch the way my bridal party did introductions completely last minute. On top of that, he even sang songs during our event. I got so many compliments on his skill, voice, and ability to get everyone dancing all night long. Overall, I would highly recommend Sean Big Daddy from James Daniel Entertainment and if given the chance I would chose him again hands down.

the end. Amazing!!

e day of. He had our guests dancing the whole night. Definitely 5 stars! Merci Nico!

and dancing, and he even sang a few songs where the guests thought Billy Joel himself was performing! Many of our guests commented on how awesome he was and questioned if we knew him prior to our wedding because they said he felt like part of the family. The professionalism he showed was great, our ceremony was on point, and we really enjoyed ourselves all night long! The website where we uploaded all desireable details was easy to use. Thanks for an incredible evening James Daniel Entertainment!

re night. Throughout the process he was nothing but nice and helpful. Highly recommend. He made our wedding great!

ecuted on the feel we were hoping for perfectly! He paid careful attention to what we had on our 'wish list' and kept the dance floor hopping! When I think of the night, I see the smiles on the faces of so many friends and family as they danced ALL NIGHT! Paul will listen and create exactly what you're hoping for with your music!

turns out he didn't have the song list with him and decided to wait until the first dance to let the bride know that. For the rest of the night he played random songs and a few that were on the bride's DO NOT PLAY list. No one wants to do the electric slide at the wedding anymore. But thanks to the DJ we were all forced to bring it back now y'all. The only reason the music wasn't a total disaster is because one of our friends took over for the DJ and literally held his had through out the rest of the evening instructing him on what songs to play. Understandably, the bride and groom has asked for their money back. The company has refused and is holding the pictures from the Photo Booth hostage.

the DJ for our wedding FORGOT OUR MUSIC which resulted in long awkward silences, messing up our first dance song, completely ignoring how everything was scheduled and playing little to none of the songs we had spent hours picking. The only reason the night was salvageable was when a friend and wedding guest took over the music for the DJ. When we called the company to explain the horrendous evening their company was responsible for we got push back, were called ‘looney' and ‘unreasonable' and the owner defended his DJ and called what had happened a ‘bummer’. Well that ‘bummer’ was something that ruined our wedding. DJs bring people together and make a happy time even happier. they should not be responsible for wedding guests telling you they cannot believe how well you are staying composed and how they would be hiding in the bathroom crying if this was their wedding. Finally, we had a photo booth. there were a number of problems with this but the biggest was they failed to provide a photo book, which had been confirmed multiple times. This photo book they did not provide was supposed to be our guest book. so due to this we do not have a guestbook for our wedding. They were also supposed to dropbox the photos to us so we could share them on social media. Due to us not liking the service and writing a bad review they are refusing to send us our photos until we take the original review down. As the bride of a wedding that I can never redo I am heartbroken over what happened at my wedding but I am devastated with the disrespect and unprofessionalism I received from this company. Please save yourself the pain I am in and do not work with this company.

fessional and offensive with how they handled the issues. The boss was virtually impossible to get ahold of.

with very high expectations in hopes that they would help make this important day to us one to remember for a lifetime. They did just that, except in the wrong way. Two minutes before introductions, the DJ told us that he did not have the songs for our first dance, the daughter father dance, nor the mother son dance. The DJ could not mix music, which resulted in multiple awkward silences, and he did not play the types and genres of music requested. Also nothing that we scheduled on the itinerary that we provided was complied with. With this disaster, one of our friends who was a DJ in college had to take over from the DJ provided and only then did people start dancing. The photo booth was a disaster. The company promised my wife a guest book that we could pictures in. This did not happen and now my wife and I don't have a guest book for our wedding. The individual working the photo booth was not inviting or advertising the photo booth and instead just sat in a chair to the side of it. This also resulted in many of our guests not being aware that we even had a photo booth. In an attempt for James Daniel Entertainment to rectify this situation by some sort of financial refund, we were told that asking for even half of it back was unreasonable after ruining one of the most special days in my life as well as my wife's.

eable and wanting to hear about me and my fiancé (now husband!) and our dream for music at our wedding (and even just our dreams in general!). After booking, if I had any questions or concerns he would respond to me within literally seconds (!!) with ideas and suggestions. He made sure to listen and incorporate all my requests and even if I couldn't think of an idea for a certain song, I trusted his judgement and he nailed it! My guests LOVED him!! He really got the party started and got my guests dancing and having an amazing time. Big daddy made sure to get every one involved through fun games and activities which was unlike any other wedding I have ever been to and really got everyone up and moving! He surprised everyone by singing and we were all in AWE, his voice is truly amazing. I danced the night away and had the BEST time at my wedding thanks to Big Daddy. The Photo Booth was also awesome and my guests couldn't get enough of taking pictures! I was also given an album of all the Photo Booth pictures afterward which was a really nice touch. THANK YOU BIG DADDY AND JAMES DANIEL!!!!

throughout the whole process. Sean worked with me and made it easy for me to use their website to submit our requests and our playlists. Jimmy has a great personality. Everyone said our wedding was so much fun from the beginning of the reception until the end. Jimmy played our songs that we requested from on our playlists and made all our wedding announcements. We were also very satisfied with the up lighting. All our family and friends had an amazing time at our wedding. I recommend James Daniel Music, Entertainment A/V & Event Lighting 100%.

d were extremely happy with his work! He was so on top of everything during the planning process and the day of. He played all the songs we requested and our guests had a blast dancing!!
