JR was the absolute best DJ! We had so many guests say the music was amazingggg!!! I will be recommending him for anyone needing a DJ. We had the best night with him, we couldn’t have asked for a better DJ!!!
J-Are is an AMAZING DJ! I met him while photographing a wedding all the way back in 2018 and then after he dj’d my sister’s wedding in 2021, so we knew we just HAD to have him DJ our own wedding in 2024! He is super nice and down to earth, but also really knows how to get the party going once dancing begins! All of our guests loved him, and so do we!! He was also so great with accommodating many last minute changes! 10000/10 hire J-Are for your wedding or event! He’s the best!
We cannot even begin to say enough good things about J-ARE Entertainment! JR is extremely communicative and made everything a breeze. Our guests loved every minute of our wedding thanks to the DJ who even got our photographer on the dance floor! Thank you for everything JR!!!
Any questions?
We had at a BLAST at our wedding thanks to our awesome dj. He played all the songs we asked for and mixed in songs that got everybody on the dance floor. He took his time when we had any questions before the wedding. You’re not gonna regret picking J-ARE as your dj for your event. At the end of the wedding, all our guests loved the music that was being played.
DJ J-ARE was amazing! He DJ-ed my cousin’s wedding and I knew he would be a perfect fit for ours, too. He did not disappoint. There was a huge crowd on the dance floor the whole night. He also took special care to curate exactly what we want for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner. Easy to reach out to contact about any concerns. I would highly recommend this DJ.

Thank you very much for your fantastic review, Halley; it was an honor to be a part of your big day. I wish you and Jonathan the best!
We have been hearing nothing but glowing reviews about our DJ from our wedding last night from our guests! We also got the Uplighting from him and the ambiance was perfect! The only regrets you could have with J-ARE is how much your legs and feet are going to hurt the next day from all the dancing you’ll be doing!

Thank you so much for your awesome feedback! I wish you and Dylan the best!
JR is hands down the best DJ vendor I've ever worked with! He is very polite and takes the time to listen to your needs, as well as understand the culture you're from and accommodating in the audience. JR spent the time to learn the different customs and rituals we have as South Indians in order to properly DJ and MC our event. He even took the extra step of listening to the playlists we made and find more South Indian songs that will blend and transition well! His energy on the stage and dance floor matched the energy needed for the reception and crowd, so it was a good time overall. JR is truly amazing to work with and have as a DJ & MC!

Thank you so much for making me a part of your big day; it was an honor. I wish you and Tom the best!
JR was so easy to work with. He met with us several times before the wedding day and had a worksheet to fill out with all the details laid out for everything to go smoothly on our day. We gave him some last minute changes the day of which he flawlessly executed. We got compliments on him all throughout the night and are still receiving compliments for the wonderful job he did. The whole wedding was dancing all night; even though we only requested a couple songs, he played hit after hit. I almost wish we could have another wedding and hire him again!

Thank you so much for your kind words, Elia! It was so much fun DJing your wedding, and I wish you and Max the best!
J-ARE was great! Enthusiastic, energetic, and always responsive to emails. He was willing to work with our specific requests and worked well with the other vendors. Very easy to recommend to others!

Thank you so much, Nicole! It was an honor to be a part of your and Joey's big day. I wish you guys the best!
JR was absolutely awesome at our wedding. We had an outdoor ceremony, a singer for our first dance, and a challenging playlist to adhere too. He had all his equipment ready and set up perfectly, the background music and sound for the ceremony was flawless. He accommodated our singer and provided her with all the equipment she needed for our first dance song. And when it came to the music and playlist for dancing, he was presented with a unique challenge. My side of the family is American and my husband's is Polish. We provided him with a long list of songs that we wanted the guests to hear, with many Polish songs on the list. When we say he absolutely killed it, it's an understatement, the song transitions between English and Polish were flawless and the way JR kept the party and dancing upbeat and alive was incredible. We got so many compliments on the way he was able to mix the music and we could not have been happier. We have been to many weddings and overall JR is the best out there, he had good energy and good vibes the whole night, we are very satisfied with the way he handled our wedding and would highly recommend him.

Thank you so much, Brianna! It was such a fantastic time DJing your and Rob's wedding. I wish you guys the best!
JR is the best DJ ever. He was very professional and took everything we wanted and delivered on it. All of our guests loved him. We did not want the wedding to end because the music was so good.

Thank you, Cheyp, for your kind words. I had so much fun DJing your and Michelle's wedding. I wish you both the best!
I couldn't have gone with a better DJ for our wedding. He was very professional, the nicest guy and a great communicator. I told him what kind of music I liked, and he delivered. Best of all, he was very fair with his prices. 10/10, would go through again.

Thank you, Deanna! I loved being a part of your and Dustin's big day. I wish you guys the best!
The absolute best DJ ever! I've been to sooo many weddings and not many DJs are able to get guests from all ages to come to the dancefloor. But not JR! He had everyone on the dancefloor - from my in-laws, older relatives, guests that are my ages, and kids. His live mixing and song transitiona are seamless. We had guests dancing til the end of the wedding.
Outside of DJing, he made sure to check in on us and see if we're doing okay and if we needed anything. He's so attentive, thoughtful, and down-to-earth.
JR is absolutely a gem. I am already thinking of events to bring him back!

Thank you very much, Lisa! It was fun and a pleasure to be a part of your and Kyle's big day! I wish you guys the best!
JR was one of my favorite parts of my wedding! JR not only is Ana amazing DJ but an amazing, kind, caring HUMAN! We continue to get so many compliments about our amazing DJ. He was so thorough throughout the process and so professional. I am only sad that the day is over and he won’t be in our lives now!! Can not suggest JR ENOUGH!!

Thank you very much for your wonderful reviews. It was a pleasure being a part of your big day. I wish you and Jason the best!
If you are looking for a DJ to not only get the party started but sustain that mometum and raise it even higher. Then look no further than J-ARE. From start to finish his service was an absolute favorite of everyone in attendance! J-ARE took the time to sit down with us face to face well in advance of our wedding day multiple times to ensure every wish we had could come true. I can not sing his praise high enough for just how great of a job he did. Our wedding ceremony alone had 3 different song changes, almost 20 person briday party introductions and 4 speeches. All were handled with care by him and we are beyond grateful to have had him with us. The music was awesome and he easily helped to blend our different cultures into one so that all of our guests enjoyed their time. There was never a moment that the dance floor wasn't packed with people and even still we have guests reaching out to share their praise of him. On behalf of my wife & myself we cannot suggest anyone more than J-ARE. He will easily give you one of the best performances your wedding can have!

Thank you so much Jourdain, for your kind words. It was a pleasure and fun DJing your and Katie's wedding. I wish you guys the best!
My husband and I are so glad that we went with J-ARE for our wedding! He was able to facilitate the components of our ceremony and reception. He accommodated our music preferences while selecting additional music that kept our guests dancing. He also made sure that our send-off went smoothly. He was consistently responsive throughout the planning process, and took time to meet with us both in-person and virtually to ensure that we were on the same page. He also brought lighting for the dance floor which was a nice addition!

Thank you so much for your kind feedback, Alexandria. I wish you and Matt the best!
I found j-are entertainment on Facebook before the pandemic and he answered me right away, and was very professional and answered every question I had. Then the pandemic happened and I didn’t get back to him until probably a year and a half two years later and he still remembered talking to me, and he even kept the same quote from before the pandemic. He was always very prompt with with emails and if he couldn’t answer a question right away, he would still email you and acknowledge that he saw it, and will get back to you. He met with me and my now husband twice before our wedding. The first time was just to introduce himself, and to get an idea of our music interests. The second time was after we finished our questionnaire. He wanted to make sure he had everything right. He was great with answering questions that we had, and was even better at offering suggestions when we asked. I could tell before the wedding that he really loves what he does but the day of the wedding you could really see it. He truly enjoys entertaining people and played everything that we asked him to. Not only was his price reasonable, but he was probably one of the kindest people we ever met, and was amazing the day of the wedding, 10 out of 10 highly recommend! I really can’t say enough good things about him

Thank you, Casey, for the heartfelt review! I'm honored to have been part of your special day and glad to hear you had such a positive experience with me. Cheers to many happy memories!
We could not recommend JR enough! We had been to weddings that JR was DJ'ing, so we knew he would make our reception a lot of fun. What we didn't realize was how genuinely sweet and nice of a person he was. From our first phone call to our final meeting in-person, he had an energy about him that made us even more excited for our wedding. He could not have been better the day of handling the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Everything was amazing and all of our guests had a great time. The dance floor was full all night and it was all thanks to JR!
Response from the Vendor on 09/04/2023
Thank you so much for your awesome review. I had so much fun DJing for your big day. I wish you and Nika the best! Cheers!
I would highly recommend JR to any couple planning their wedding!!! We had JR DJ our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Before the day JR met with us in person and over the phone multiple times to discuss everything we wanted. He was very responsive and accommodated all our requests with a super positive attitude. We had a ceremony with some unique religious components including having no officiant, and JR expertly executed the ceremony with absolutely no flaws. During cocktail hour and dinner all of the songs played were totally personalized to us and our preferences that we discussed. Our guests were loving the music so much that some started dancing before dinner was even finished!!! During the reception JR worked with the maitre d and photographer to accommodate all the events we wanted. The dance floor was packed all night and JR picked songs by reading the crowd expertly. A wedding DJ can totally make or break your event and JR made our day UNFORGETTABLE!! If you want a positive, professional DJ who knows how to keep the vibes on point throughout the whole process and the day itself, then you should hire JR!

Thank you so much for your amazing words. It was an honor to be a part of your big day. I wish you and Alec the best! Cheers!
JR is the best DJ you will find. He really is not an iPod DJ. He can read the crowd and play music that will keep your guests on the dancefloor for hours. He's professional, very nice and you won't go wrong if you book him. I can't recommend him enough for any event!

Thank you very much for your kind words, Sammy. It was great to be a part of your and Seth's special day. I wish you guys the best! Cheers!
One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was hiring DJ JR from J-ARE Entertainment! He was so easy to work with and is truly made our wedding an AMAZING experience. He showed up ready to work, ready to have a great time, and ready to keep the crowd going. We received tons of compliments the night of and day after about what a great party it was, and how much fun the dance floor was all night - all thanks to JR!! There were no awkward moments, no time to pause and worry about people dancing, because JR picked the perfect music that made everyone, from our younger cousins to older family, happy. We wish we could give JR more than 5 stars because he truly deserves 100%. My husband and I would highly recommend his services without any reservations. Thank You JR!

Thanks so much, Olga, for your awesome words. It was indeed an honor to be a part of your special day. I wish you and Dylan the best! Cheers!
Our wedding was amazing - thanks to JR! We began our search by talking to a few companies, and then we found JR. One look at his Instagram made it clear that he would be our DJ. We wanted high energy, engagement, and attention to detail. As opposed to some companies coordinating a DJ, JR set up a meeting well on advance of the wedding to review the schedule, get to know us, and look over the finer details. He made the process effortless, which was well welcomed with all of the other planning items. JR took care of set up and break down for our ceremony and our reception. The reception was non-stop fun. No one left the dance floor. It was high energy, exciting, and fun - with the right amount of romanticism that you expect at a wedding. If you are still looking for your DJ - you can cross this off the list because you found J-ARE Entertainment. A true professional and artist. Best night of my life - thanks JR!

Thank you so much, Nick, for your kind review. It was an honor to be a part of your big day. I wish you and Jenna the best!
JR was seriously the best! Working with him up to the wedding was seamless and easy. He’s clearly very knowledgeable and knows what he’s doing. He’s super kind and easy to get along with. The actual wedding day was a blast because of him! He played the best music and knew how to engage the crowd. Would highly recommend!!!

Thank you so much for your kind words Cyndi! It was so much fun partying with you and Nick. I wish you guys the best!
I’m late but I cannot say enough about how amazing DJ J-ARE was!!!!
My husband and I had one goal with our DJ: make sure our guests had a good time and JR did that and SO MUCH MORE.
He met with us periodically leading up to our wedding, and was patient with us (we had a whole list of must plays and don’t plays), and reassured my parents that clean versions would be played for all of our older guests.
We told him that we didn’t want anyone to want to leave the dance floor and the way that he mixed the songs made sure that that was the case!
We had so many people after say it was the best DJ/party they’ve seen/been a part of ever.
I even forgot to tell him we pushed the timeline back a half hour (dance floor originally was going to start at 8:00 but I forgot to say it got pushed to 8:30) and he flowed with it like it was no problem at all, and our guests had no idea!
Anyway, if I haven’t convinced you already, his prices were incredible, well priced for what he gives you.
He also literally gave us his keys to use when we were shotgunning beers in pictures, so safe to say he’ll make sure you’re taken care of on your special day.
Hire him!!!!

Thank you so much for your awesome feedback. Your wedding was fun to DJ. I wish you and Chris the best!
We could not have had a better experience than the one JR provided. First and foremost, JR is a phenomenal human being and an absolute delight to work with. Our wedding was a true blending of different cultures and generations and JR was effortlessly able to keep our party going all night long. He takes great pride in being a true DJ and mixed an incredible set. He takes the time to learn about the vision for the event and is the utmost professional. Please do yourselves a favor and stop your search. Hire J-Are Entertainment!

Thank you so much for your kind words Ovie! Your wedding was so fire, and I had fun DJing your wedding. I wish you and Sam the best!
J-are was great! We loved the energy that he brought. He was exactly what we were looking for in a DJ: to hype the crowd up and make sure that no one was bored. He was also flexible when we found out some last minute details and we had to make some changes. He also worked well with another emcee that we appointed. If you're looking for a great DJ-J are is your man. We definitely recommend him for any of your events!
Response from the Vendor on 01/06/2023
Thank you so much for having me! It was a great time at your wedding. I wish you and Grace the best!
J-ARE was my wedding DJ and he did an excellent job! JR had my guests on the dance floor all night and it was clear that he wasn't running through a simple go-to wedding playlist - he played songs specific to our taste in music and based on the live crowd reactions/preferences. I would absolutely recommend JR to any prospective couple!
Response from the Vendor on 01/06/2023
Thank you so much for your kind words. It was so much fun DJing for your wedding. I wish you and Ian the best!
JR was an absolute pleasure to work with. Super responsive, easy to communicate with, and very accommodating. We were looking for a DJ that would keep the crowd moving, without being obnoxious or on the mic all night, and he did just that! JR mixes music on the spot, so it almost feels like you're in a club with the way each song flawlessly flowed into each other. Everyone was up and dancing all night- I don't think there was ever a moment (apart from dinner) where the dance floor was not packed! We've received so many compliments on the music and how JR was able to cater to all ages at our wedding, but still keep the vibe going!
His "DJ Sheet" made it super easy to communicate what music we wanted played and when, and we were even able to meet in person to discuss how we wanted our night to run. Overall, 100% recommend.

If you want the music for your wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception to be the absolute best element of your special day, hire J-ARE Entertainment!! An absolute professional! EVERYONE that attended commented on how amazing the energy was because of the music. JR is nothing but top grade. Very quick with e-mail responses to any of my questions leading up to the day of. From the moment we met with him, we knew he was our guy. He held it down for the entire event and had the dance floor filled until our venue kicked us out. Book J-ARE Entertainment right now, the absolute best!

Thank you so much for your kind words. I had tons of fun DJing your wedding, and I am happy you guys did too. I wish you and Kate the best!
JR was absolutely incredible on our wedding day! I had met JR when he was a DJ at another wedding. After a night of dancing non-stop, I knew we had to hire him for our wedding. His amazing energy and excellent music choices kept our guests on the dance floor all night long! JR was also so helpful in the lead up to our wedding and was extremely accommodating when COVID threw a wrench in our plans not once but twice. His organization and professionalism allowed the day to run so smoothly and he definitely knows how to throw a party!

Thank you so much for your review, Jennifer! I had a blast DJing at your wedding, and I'm happy you guys did too. I wish you and Vince the best!
We asked JR to help us keep the dance floor packed all night, and wow, did he deliver!! As a former wedding DJ myself, I knew I was going to be very particular in what I was looking for. From the initial phone call with JR almost 2 years before our wedding, we knew he was the right fit for the energy we wanted on our big day. He was super flexible with us during planning, great to work with, and played the perfect mix of music throughout our reception. It was SO much fun. We recommended him to two other friends getting married and can't wait to party all over again with JR at their weddings!

DJ JR was amazing and our wedding would not have been the success it was without him! He made the planning process super easy and definitely understood the vibe we were going for. He met with us in person ahead of time to go through everything which made us feel much more confident going into the wedding. He helped direct the reception and get everyone on the dance floor. His announcements were tasteful and minimal which is exactly what we wanted. Nothing but good things to say, everything about his service was perfect!

Thank you Emma for your awesome review. It was so much fun working with you and Kaelin. I wish you guys the best!
J-ARE was unbelievable and came recommended from my brother and our friend, both of which used J-ARE for their wedding reception. The process leading up to the big-day was easy and seamless, he is extremely accessible, and overly polite and kind.
The event itself was electric, mainly because of J-ARE. He had a wonderful selection of music, catering to all ages, and made everyone feel welcomed and special.
Just as J-ARE was recommended to us, we would also recommend J-ARE to others who are looking for an incredible DJ for their wedding or event.
Thank you!

J-ARE kept the party going for sure - we got compliments on the DJ all night long and the next day, too! J-ARE was so great to work with throughout the process, understanding the vibes we were going for during the cocktail hour, dinner, and reception.

Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure and fun DJing at your wedding. I wish you and TJ the best!
I cannot say enough good things about JR!!! Having great music and a packed dance floor was important to my husband and I as it’s always our favorite part of a wedding and JR definitely delivered! He was so great and easy to work with from the start! We only gave him a handful of song selections (entrance, first dance, daughter/father, son/mother) and he handled the rest. It was so nice not having to worry about the music and having a DJ we could trust! I would HIGHLY recommend hiring JR for your next event!!!

Thank you so much, Cassie! It was a blast DJing for your wedding, and I wish you Charlie the best. Cheers!
My husband and I can't recommend hiring JR to DJ enough. We initially hired JR in 2019, but due to our wedding postponement from COVID, we just celebrated on December 5, 2021. From our first convo with JR, we knew he was the right DJ for us- friendly, outgoing, and understanding. Music is such an important part of your wedding day, and we knew JR would make the day incredibly special. After our wedding, friends and family all went out of their way to tell us how BANGING the music was, and it was all thanks to JR.
THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!! <3

JR absolutely killed it at our wedding. The music was great and all of our guests were raving about it during our wedding and now after. We couldn’t be happier with how much fun everyone had including myself and my husband. Thank you for everything JR!!

Thank you so much, Danielle, for your kind words. It was an honor to be a part of your big day, and I wish you guys the best. Cheers!
He was amazing! The event was at Pen Ryn and we got compliments all night about how they loved the music! One of our guests even requested a card from him while he was there too! He was extremely affordable and was very receptive to our song requests! We highly recommend and would hire again if we had another event!

I can't thank you guys enough for your kind words. I wish you and Caitlin the best! Thank you for choosing me. Cheers!
JR is a fantastic DJ and an awesome person!!! We had the time of our lives on the dance floor at our reception! From the beginning of the planning process, he was kind, attentive to our interests, requests and changes, and always responsive in communication. He went above and beyond to make sure the sound set up was perfect for our event space, to get all name pronunciations absolutely correct, and he played all of our favorite songs - I was dancing and singing the WHOLE night. The best of all, our guests are still raving about how much fun they had at our wedding! I will remember how amazing the dance floor was forever! Thank you so much, JR, you are a truly great and professional DJ.

Thank you so much Shawn for your awesome review, it’s really appreciated. I had so much fun DJing your wedding. I wish you and Nicole the best!
We are ere so lucky to have JR for our rebooked and rebooked wedding day! He worked so well with all the changes but also helped guide us on things I didn’t even think of. His advice is invaluable and his experience is extensive! I would definitely recommend him for ANY event you may need a DJ.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I had so much fun DJing your wedding and I wish you and Max the best!
DJ J-ARE was absolutely amazing. He really took the time to get to know us and listened to what we had to say. He even helped set up some signs on the day of our wedding. We could not have asked for a better DJ and would highly recommend him to anyone.

Thank you so much Matt! It’s was really fun DJing your wedding and I wish you and Kristi the best!
I do not have enough good things to say about JR with J-ARE Entertainment! Working with him was truly such a pleasure. He's extremely professional and really wants to do whatever he can to make the day perfect for his couples - I would recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ for their wedding/next event. In one of our last meetings leading up to the wedding, I gave JR a pretty extensive list of songs I was hoping to play with the ultimate goal of having everyone up and dancing all night long...He did not disappoint! Everyone was raving the next day about how much fun they had, and I attribute that largely to JR :)

Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure working with you and Sean, I had tons of fun DJing your wedding. I wish you guys the best!
DJ JR Burrs with J-ARE Entertainment made our wedding on 4/24 at the John James Audubon Center so fun and awesome!! He got the dance floor packed without relying on silly games, gimmicks or any weird "DJ Personality" (exactly what I wanted). He's extremely kind, professional and easy-going. He played all the music that we wanted to hear, and even played special requests for family traditions. My guests had nothing but good things to say about the music and asked for his information because they wanted him at their parties too! If you're looking for a great DJ who just knows how to keep a party going, talk to JR.

Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure to be a part of your big day. I wish you and Zach the best.
JR was the best DJ! From the planning stages, the venue walk through, rescheduling THREE times due to COVID-19... JR was the absolute easiest, friendliest and professional DJ! He had great ideas, was organized and took all of the stress out of planning the music for our wedding. Our guests continued raving about how much fun they had at our wedding, and how packed the dance floor stayed all night! I would highly recommend hiring JR for any DJ needs, and hope we'll be able to cross paths and work together again!!

We were looking for a DJ who would keep the party going and JR totally did! All of our guests had an amazing time and raved about him all night. So glad we chose JR! If you're looking for an awesome DJ... look no further!

JR was a great DJ. In the midst of all the difficulties, he really adapted to the situation and helped make our wedding run smoothly. We couldn't have asked for more. Music was great and he adhered to all of our requests. He pays attention to the little details and really wants the best for his clients. Definitely would recommend his services.

Thank you for your kind words, Wesley! I wish you and Julie the best in your future together.
J-ARE KILLED IT! We could not have been more pleased with his professionalism, thoughtfulness, and sick jams. Our wedding was so much fun because of him! Thank you for feeling our vibe and running with it! You’re the bomb.com!

Thank you so much, Kelly! It was truly a pleasure and an honor to work with you and Pat. I wish both of you the best!
If you’re looking for a DJ, JR is your guy! Our night was so much fun with so much dancing!!! We told JR ahead of time that our party were big dancers and we wanted everyone on the dance floor...thats EXACTLY what we got. He read the crowd and new exactly what to play. From cocktail hour music, to introductions, dinner music, to the reception party - perfection! Would recommend DJ J-Are to anyone and everyone!!

Thank you so much Kaila! It was a pleasure and much fun working with you and Danny. I wish you guys the best!
DJ J-Are far exceeded our expectations. Not only did he have the entire wedding dancing all night he really keyed into our preferences. When we reflected on our wedding we noticed how he played a lot of funk as we requested and stayed away from things like the electric slide, which we also mentioned to him. He really pays attentions to those types of requests but also takes the necessary liberties to make sure your wedding is fun as hell! Recommend any day of the week, thank you DJ J-Are!!

Thank you so much Andrew! It was so much fun celebrating with you and Jordan. Cheers!
JR was amazing! We wanted a wedding full of fun, with a full dance floor and that is exactly what we got. Our guests raved about JR and over a month later are still talking about what a great DJ we had and how much fun they had at our wedding. JR’s love of music and DJing comes through in his work. We can’t thank him enough, he is a true professional and just a nice guy!

Thank you so much for your awesome words. It was a pleasure working with you and Jim and I do wish we can do it all over again. I wish you guys the best!
I first found JR through his Instagram where he posted a wedding he was working at our venue. I could tell by the 30 second video that the wedding guests were having so much fun and knew I had to reach out immediately. JR was so easy to talk to and you could tell he just loves music and helping others to get in a dancing mood. He met us multiple times to make sure that our ceremony order and music was set and that the dancing playlists were what we wanted. We heard from SO many guests that this was the first wedding where they really felt like dancing and had so much fun! Unfortunately, simply due to our schedule, our dancing time was not super long. If we could do it over again, we would have more dancing time to have JR playing more tunes! I was honestly nervous about the reception dancing time (Will anyone dance? How do I make people dance if I refuse to play cha cha slide?!), but seriously JR erased all of those fears and we had people who said they wished they could have stayed and danced longer! Great service, communication and great guy! Thank you JR!!

Thank you so much Rachel! It was such of a pleasure working with you and Chris. I wish you guys the best! Thank You!
When Jim and I first started looking for a DJ for our wedding we knew we wanted someone that would keep the party going. J-ARE was able to keep the energy high all night long. He played a mixture of upbeat songs and slow songs, and songs that everyone knew. We were very happy with the work that was done on our wedding day. J-ARE had a spreadsheet where you would fill out what songs you wanted played for each segment of the wedding, and he did a great job putting them all together. Thank you for everything you did for us on our special day.

Thank you so much Amanda for your kind words. It was a pleasure working with you and Jim. I wish you guys the best.Thank you!
When looking for a dj for our wedding, we knew that we wanted to someone personal and someone who could really make our wedding so much fun. We found all of that and more with JR with J-Are entertainment. He was seriously the best! Everyone absolutely loved him and came up to us all night long telling us that we had the best dj. He took song requests, knew what the crowd liked, and was just so so so much fun. We cannot say enough good things! My husband is NOT a dancer and he was out there having an absolute blast-so, thank you, JR, for being the only person to get my husband to successfully stay on the dance floor all night! I would recommend him to ANYONE! Definitely use him if you are looking for affordable, KIND, and a an amazing party!!!

Thank you so much Marissa! It was an honor being a part of your big day! I wish you and Zach the best.
J-ARE Entertainment did not disappoint! He did a wonderful job and kept the dance floor packed. My family and friends LOVE to dance and he did a great job of anticipating songs for all age groups. Throughout our booking process he was pretty readily available and met us several times via phone and in person, including at the venue. My husband and I were very well taken care of and would definitely recommend J-ARE Entertainment to other wedding couples.

Thank you so much for your kind words Ellen! It was an honor to be a part of your big day!
I am a firm believer that music at a wedding can truly shape the day. Selecting JR as our DJ was the BEST decision we could have made. Prior to the day we met with JR twice in person to talk through details. JR was kind, patient and flexible as we worked through the details together. The audio and music from the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to dinner and to most importantly dance party was flawless. Many friends told me through the night how much they loved the DJ! Most importantly above all JR is a good person who truly cares about the experience his clients have and we are grateful to have had the opportunity to have him as part of our day. Selecting JR as your DJ will be one of the best decisions you make!

Thank you so much for your kind words, Rebecca. It was truly an honor to be a part of your's and Tim's wedding. I so much fun DJing your wedding.
J-Are DJ’ed our wedding and did an amazing job! He was very organized and had an excel spreadsheet that spelled out who was being introduced when, what song to play, playlists for the ceremony, etc. He was super easy to work with and laid back. When we had a specific vison, he met it perfectly, and when we weren’t sure what direction to go with, for example the music during dinner, he took the lead and it was perfect. We had some unique traditions throughout the night (to get the bride and groom to kiss, table stand up together and sign song with word “love” in it) (small set of polka songs for my polish side of the family), and J-Are worked it in perfectly and had both my family and my friends dancing all night long! The songs he played during the dance were perfect for the vibe, everyone was dancing all night. I only left the dance floor to cut the cake! Highly recommend to DJ a wedding!

Thank you s much for your kind review. It was a pleasure and an honor to be a part of your big day. I wish you and Shane the best!
Words can not describe how incredible J are is. We had a blend of cultures at our wedding (French, Korean and American) and J are understood what we wanted and was able to express that in the music. He captured ALLL of our requests and kept the dance floor bumping! His transitions from song to song were flawless! He blended french and american music so well that everyone was on the dance floor constantly! He was an amazing help when we were trying to troubleshoot our cocktail hour. Always bringing solutions in a positive up beat manner. Made planning my wedding less stressful knowing he was behind the entertainment. We can not thank you enough!!!!

Thank you so much for your kind words! It was so fun DJing your wedding and working with you guys. I wish you and Pierre the best!
We are so happy we found DJ J-Are! He truly helped both my husband and I plus our guests have a great time at our wedding. He was very supportive leading up to our wedding and offered help/direction in choosing music for all parts of our day. He was very responsive to any of our questions, and even met us at our venue to get familiarized with the space for the day of. DJ J-Are also provided uplighting and connected us with photo booth services, which were both great. We selected some must-have songs as well as do not plays in addition to guest requests that we collected on our invites, and J-Are was great with all of this! J-Are had our guests dancing all night, even before dinner was served. My husband and I were really happy and would recommend DJ J-are any day!

Thank you so much for your kind review! I wish you and Dana the best!
Both me and my wife always had one thing in mind when it came to our wedding, the dance floor has to be full and fun. JR was suggested to us by a co-worker of my wife, and it was the best decision we made for our entire wedding. From the second the music started I don't think a single person left the dance floor, and that's exactly what we wanted! Throughout the planning every question we had through the process was answered quickly and with lots of detail. It was really a breeze to work with him. He played the music for our ceremony, which was seamless. He also helped us get organized with the introductions.
One of the best things about working with JR was how personable he is, and how he made the night catered exactly to your needs. My wife's family likes to dance to Polka music, and JR found a way to mix it into the night without throwing off the groove of the evening. I'm a big stickler for flow of events, and this was by far the smoothest flowing party I've ever been to, thanks to JR!
Do your self a favor and book him ASAP.

J*ARE was great !!! He was early, well prepared, the music was awesome and he kept people dancing ( even the ones who don’t usually dance ) He traveled to a different state for us and I would highly recommend him.
Thank you so much JR :-)

Thank you so much Marina! It was an honor to be a part of yours and Marcelo's big day.
From our first phone call to the last song at our reception, JR was fantastic to work with. The planning process with JR was easy and organized, he was always there to answer any questions we had. Our custom curated ceremony and cocktail hour playlists were perfect, and the dance floor was PACKED all night. JR is not only a phenomenal MC, but he mixed our reception music live!! We still have guests comment on how incredible he was months after our wedding.
I cannot recommend working with JR enough!
