Jim Cerone The Perfect Host DJ MC Wedding Entertainment

Jim IS The Perfect Host DJ! Jim provided exceptional service to our wedding from elegant ceremony to classic cocktail hour and dinner tunes to capping off the night with a packed dance floor for the entire night! Jim truly cared about making our day special by getting to know us each personally through multiple meetings before our wedding, ensuring every detail was perfect. Jim took the time to understand our vision and musical tastes and concocted the perfect set list for our night. Not only a DJ, but Jim’s emcee skills ensured our day flowed naturally from one phase to the next without complication. Our other vendors revered how collaborative and detail-oriented Jim was with each of them ensuring our day was truly unforgettable. We would HIGHLY recommend Jim for any wedding or special occasion!

Simply the best. 100% worth every cent. Our dance floor stayed full all night.

Jim Cerone is the ultimate professional and very easy going and friendly. We hired him to be our DJ for our recent wedding reception (9/21/24) and we just had a really good feeling about him right from the start after our initial virtual meeting w/ him. He was, by far, our favorite vendor of all the vendors we worked with and he is on top of his game. His pricing is upfront (no hidden fees or trying to add sales tax like our photographer did). He communicated details very well w/ us and responded to us in a timely manner when we had questions. He truly has the perfect "DJ" voice and is so charismatic! I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a qualified DJ!!

Jim was the best host,DJ, MC, and we would recommend him to everyone. We thoroughly enjoyed working with him! He is kind and genuinely wanted to ensure we had the best wedding day! Our guests even commented how great he was too and how much fun they had dancinf. He kept our dance floor lively and full the entire night by playing music that guests of all ages knew and loved. He ensured that each transition of the day flowed smoothly and ensured that all were able to hear the big and important moments of the day including ceremony, speeches, and toasts. It is so important to have a host/MC/DJ who knows music, knows how to play to the crowd, and is invested in your event and that is Jim! My husband, myself, and our families cannot say enough great things about Jim Cerone. We are so grateful for him!

Jim was a remarkable DJ for our special day! He remained in constant communication when needed, leading up to the event - and he was the absolute BEST on the day of the wedding. He ensured that we had an excellent time, and that our guests enjoyed the dance floor all evening long. We could not have asked for a better DJ and music experience for wedding. Professional, kind, and wonderful at his role - he is the best in the business!

Jim Cerone is quite literally the perfect host. We could not have asked for a better DJ for our wedding. He is truly a professional and went above and beyond on our wedding day as a DJ, an MC, and even jumped in to help when the wind knocked over outdoor decorations. He made the process so easy. He is so detail oriented, easy to communicate with, and had many great tips to help our night run smoothly. He read the room perfectly and knew exactly what to play to keep the dance floor going. We could not have had a better experience and recommend Jim to everyone we know. Thank you Jim for everything you did to make our wedding day perfect!

I don't think we could've found a better DJ for our wedding! Jim was so easy to work with. He made our reception run so smoothly, my husband and I didn't need to worry about a single thing because Jim was so on top of everything. He is extremely detail oriented and overall just the nicest person. And most importantly, he knew exactly what music to play and at the right times to keep everyone on the dance floor the entire night! He was so accommodating and truly made our wedding the most fun night we've ever had. We will recommend him over and over again!

Do yourself a favor and book Jim for your next event!! We were lucky enough to have Jim for our wedding and our experience was above and beyond what we anticipated. Jim is extremely organized, communicative, and professional. He takes the time to understand his clients and exactly what they need, then delivers it. Thanks for everything Jim!

Jim is the best of the best. Extremely organized and came to every meeting prepared. He was also very flexible with last-minute adjustments. He worked well with all of our other vendors and they also have nothing but great things to say. I would definitely hire him again in the future! Thank you Jim

Jim was quite literally the PERFECT host for our wedding. From the very beginning, Jim paid attention to all the details, including the small ones. During every Zoom, he changed his background to our venue, a small but fun detail. He has a very calming personality when planning with him that took away all my stress of picking out the perfect music. When it came time for him to MC, he brought the perfect energy. I was very impressed with Jim's ability to pull people onto the dance floor all night, especially since few of my family/friends dance. He read the room perfectly at all times and adapted the music to fit the needs of the crowd, all while keeping it within our preferences. Jim is the nicest and easiest person to work with. I could not recommend him enough!!

Jim came highly recommended and did not disappoint. He made the entire process easy for us. Planning meetings were guided and helpful. They made us feel comfortable that everything would go seamlessly on the big day. All of our guests spent the entire night on the dance floor. A couple weeks after the wedding, we received a dropbox from Jim with candid photos and videos he took during the day. It was such a treat to relive the fun of the dance floor! We couldn't have asked for a better DJ!

You may not think a DJ will be that important for how your wedding turns out, but they can make or break the evening for both you and your guests. To say Jim exceeded our expectations is an understatement; he was so professional, helpful, polished, and made our reception run so smoothly. I can't recommend him highly enough; working with Jim was one of the best parts of our wedding day! He held multiple calls with me and my partner to understand our story and our vision for the wedding day. He was a clear communicator, punctual, professional, and worked very well with our other vendors. We hired Jim for our February 2023 wedding at the Indiana Landmarks Center.

Jim was, in fact, the perfect host and an incredible DJ for our wedding. His attention to detail throughout our planning process and day of is second to none, and we'd chose him 100/100 times for our wedding, if doing it again. You will not go wrong with Jim Cerone.

I can’t say enough great things about Jim. He was by far our most organized vendor and made us feel so much more calm as our wedding day approached because he had a handle on all of “milestone” events of the day. He communicated with our officiant, best man and maid of honor (for speeches/ toasts), and my dad who all had speaking parts in the day. He made sure our dance floor was never empty - everyone was dancing all night. And we had so many guests compliment on Jim throughout the night and after.

Absolutely Perfect Night! Jim Cerone did a wonderful job of keeping the reception absolutely LIVE! He has numerous tips and tricks to not only keep the party energetic and exciting, but to guide his clients through the process of preparing for their wedding night. He works diligently with you through the whole process and makes sure that you feel comfortable & have all of the music that you and your guests will enjoy. 10/10 recommend for all events, especially wedding receptions. Thanks Jim for making our evening perfect!

Jim was indeed the perfect host! Leading up to the wedding, we had multiple meetings to cover everything he needed to know to help the night run smoothly. He thought of everything ahead of time and made our reception effortless on our part. My husband and I did not want any line dances, limbo, or other similar things. When one of our guests asked for that, Jim was polite but stuck to what we wanted. It was greatly appreciated! We'd hire him again in a heartbeat.

We hired Jim for our wedding in November (‘22) and I can’t imagine it without him. Leading up to the wedding, Jim was professional and organized- walking us through all the processes that he would be involved in with patience and detail. We met (via zoom) several times to make sure we felt comfortable with everything heading into the day. The wedding itself was a blast and thanks to Jim in a major way. The dance floor was full all night, and that’s not hyperbole. You could tell that Jim really enjoys what he does and takes immense pride in the work. It shows. Thank you to Jim for making our day one we’ll never forget. P.s. I went to a wedding the next weekend and I heard another couple who had been married within the past year mention that they had a DJ that kept the dance floor full the entire night and I asked who they hired. You guessed it. Our guy Jim. Thank you!!

The most professional, prepared and considerate host for our wedding night! Highly recommended. Plays all genres and kept the night moving perfectly. You are in great hands with Jim!

Jim was the perfect addition to our reception. He was everything and more you would want from a wedding DJ. We were so impressed with him from start to finish of our planning process. He made the process simple and easy for us, providing many wedding tips along the way, in addition to his awesome DJ services. Highly recommend Jim for your event, he truly is the perfect host!

Very professional and easy to work with! He kept the music on point and the evening on schedule! Everyone loved his selection and had a great time on the dance floor!

Jim was absolutely amazing to work with for our wedding. He is professional and experienced and we felt extremely comfortable trusting him to help make our day perfect! We met with him multiple times to discuss timelines, music interests, and any other requests/concerns we may have had. From the jump we could tell Jim made it a priority to really get to know us so that he can take what he’s learned to tailor the experience to us! While our guests had very diverse music interests, Jim was able to cover all his bases and ensure everyone had a GREAT time. He truly is The Perfect Host!

Jim truly lived up to his name as "The Perfect Host"! He is exceptionally talented reading the room... he knows what the music vibe should be and when to change it up. He is a true professional and almost serves as a mini-wedding planner in the sense that he met with us multiple times leading up to the wedding to confirm timeline, details, etc. We also hired him to do the audio for our ceremony. Without even asking, he recorded the audio of our ceremony and sent it to us shortly after. He knows how to keep the reception moving and would let me know when we are about to do the bouquet toss, dances, etc. I highly recommend booking Jim Cerone if you want your reception to be remembered for an epic dance floor!

I am a veteran entertainer who now works in nonprofit administration. My expectations for an entertainer is high and were very important to my event! I "imported" Jim in from out-of-state to entertain my guests at my Ohio wedding, and I'm so glad that we were able to work with him. The rumors are true -- he really IS "The Perfect Host", and I don't think Jim will mind if I spill the big secret to his success: Jim is just a good person -- one of the most modest people you will ever meet in your life -- he is charming, tasteful, and really understands how to make others feel at ease. If you're hosting an elegant wedding and looking for an entertainer who seems like he was born to wear that tux, Jim's your guy! Jim: we adore you. Thank you for coming all the way to ensure I had someone in my corner who I knew I could count on to execute my vision. We are so lucky to know you.

Jim is a true professional! He helped our wedding day run smoothly. His music was perfect all night long. Jim knew exactly what to do to keep our wedding reception going. Everyone who attended commented on how much fun they had at the reception.

Mr. Cerone hosted our wedding reception in Indianapolis on May 21, 2022 at the Scottish Rite Cathedral. As everyone knows, Jim is BY FAR the BEST master of ceremonies in the midwest, possibly the country. You absolutely MUST book him for your Indianapolis events (if he's not already booked!) Many guests commented on the 'movement' or 'cadence' of the night, that the order of events was perfect and it all flowed together seamlessly. I attribute this success to Jim. Moreover, Mr. Cerone's ability to keep folks out on the dance floor was remarkable. He put considerable planning into the music and flow of the night, asking all about the demographics and preferences of the happy couple and our guests to determine his music, and it paid off. Please feel free to contact me with questions or for more details. I would love to rave to you about Jim Cerone!

We can't recommend Jim more highly as a DJ for your big day! Throughout every step of the process he made everything smooth and enjoyable, asking very detailed questions from the very beginning. We had a wide range of guests that enjoyed a huge array of music genres and Jim absolutely nailed every single song and kept the dance floor filled until the very end. Our guests are still raving about our playlist throughout the entire night, so thank you Jim for making everything perfect for us!

Jim was highly recommended by our wedding venue that we booked him immediately before making any other plans. We had no doubts about Jim’s experienced DJ skills, but his expertise in planning and keeping our wedding timeline flowing smoothly was also incredible. Furthermore, Jim understood our multi-cultural family situation and was careful to pronounce all the names correctly and played personalized music that made everyone happy! Jim truly was a perfect host for our wedding and reception. We think he is the best and recommend him wholeheartedly!

Jim is absolutely outstanding! When you hire Jim for your wedding day, you are not just hiring someone who knows how to push a button and play music. Jim will truly get to know you and your fiance, learn the precise details, and then knock it out of the park. From the start of our ceremony to the end of our reception, everything was just seamless. It took a lot of stress off of me as the bride to not have to worry if everything was going to happen when it was supposed to. Not only did we have such a great party because of him, but he is also the kindest, most caring person I have ever met, on top of being very professional. Hire Jim for your wedding day. He is worth every penny and more!

Jim was phenomenal - not only did he go above and beyond to make sure our day was flawless, he kept the dance floor exciting all night long! We received constant compliments after the wedding about how fabulous our DJ was, and I would 10/10 recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ that keeps your night fun, and on track.

Jim Cerone went above and beyond to make our wedding day so special! He is the person you NEED as your DJ. Jim is the quarterback of weddings in that he was on top of everything. Jim worked with us to sort out our reception schedule and kept on it the entire night all while playing the perfect music. Jim is extremely helpful in making sure that you, your spouse, your parents involved in the dance, and your speech givers know where they need to be, when they need to be there. Jim is absolutely incredible and your special day will go so much smoother and will be that much more special with him at the helm!

Jim is AMAZING and you should book him immediately. Incredibly thorough ahead of our big day, with multiple meetings and an info packet. We really felt like our music taste and desires were listened to. He’s incredibly communicative with both the couple and our other service providers, connecting with our venue, photographers, and videographer ahead of time so everyone was on the same page. He was so fun and played everything we wanted, and the perfect emcee for our day. The picture he took at the end of the night with everyone was the icing on the cake. Thank you so much, Jim!!!

We had the time of our life!!! Jim was amazing!!! Our dance party went on for hours! No sitting at this wedding. He kept great music going all night long. Hire him today!!! Thank you, Jim!

Jim Cerone is an incredible DJ and what sets him apart from others is that he is SO much more! He creates a party that is designed uniquely just for you and your guests. He is keenly aware of and understands the intricacies of music and how different tempos and moods have cause and effect. Seriously- this is important! Jim takes genuine interest in getting to know you before your wedding day to understand what is important to you. Trust me when I tell you to do your research when you choose your wedding DJ and know that he will exceed all of your expectations. Jim was also at our ceremony and he made our ceremony vision come to life! It is important to note as well that my husband and I had to reschedule our original wedding due to the Covid 19 pandemic. We simply cannot imagine what this would have been like without Jim. He was so supportive throughout the entire process and extremely patient. He is TRULY one of a kind and you will be so absolutely happy to have him as your wedding DJ!

Jim Cerone is the best DJ! I’ve known about him since watching him and being impressed at another wedding. He was my “must have” vendor for my reception. He is worth the investment! The night was like a dream and beyond. We are so grateful for his attention to detail and extreme professionalism. I can’t say enough, so grateful and lucky that I was able to find a date he was available!!

Picking a DJ was the one vendor we were worried about - they set the tone for the entire night and can make or break a party. Jim kept our party going ALL night long. There was not a single dead moment during our reception and at one point the floor of our venue was shaking from all the people on the dance floor! Jim treats music selection, crowd engagement, and flow of events as a science without sacrificing fun. He’s not just a DJ, he’s a party connoisseur and wedding day coordinator all in one. Our entire wedding day flowed perfectly from ceremony, to cocktail hour, to reception, because of his consistency and attention to detail. We love Jim and will miss working with him greatly!

Book Jim. No questions asked. His level of professionalism is literally unmatched. He thought of everything during the planning process and the day of, he did so much. We got so many compliments on our choice of DJ and how great of an overall host he was. He had so many great suggestions and it all felt so personal and we could tell he really wanted to make our day as perfect as possible. He takes care of so much of your timeline planning, has great suggestions and is guaranteed to make your wedding day the best day ever!

From beginning to end Jim was a true professional! He helped everyone coordinate the audio and music upto and throughout the wedding ceremony. It was during the reception that he truly stepped up. The dance floor was packed and everyone was up and dancing. We had so many compliments on the whole day and Jim was instrumental in making it happen. Everyone puts emphasis on the reception, but being able to hear the ceremony and set the mood while the bride and groom were off taking photos set the tone for the reception. He even assisted in dismissing the tables for the dinner, and we had a big group, 230+ guests. Thanks Jim for everything!!

AMAZING! If you can’t get him at your wedding...I am sorry for you. He is truly the best out there!

Jim Cerone is truly the perfect host/DJ/MC! From the moment we sat down in his office to talk through our wedding, we knew we were in great hands. Jim managed our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception and it was absolutely perfect. He was very helpful with song selections and making the evenings vibe exactly what we wanted. He even went to the personal touch to contact both of our parents, maid of honor, and best man the week-of to see how they were feeling and if they had any questions. Jim is a true class act and we are SO incredibly happy with our decision to work together. He definitely knows how to keep a dance floor rocking!! Thank you so much!

Jim is so professional and responsive, making the planning process easy as could be. He set the tone for our whole wedding night. On the day of our wedding we did not have to worry one bit about the entertainment because Jim took care of everything. He kept our guests on the dance floor the entire night. Jim listened to our wants and executed them perfectly. We have received so many compliments about our DJ. We are truly grateful for Jim’s services and have some of the best memories because of him. Jim is top notch.

Jim was absolutely fantastic throughout the wedding planning process! He was incredibly classy and organized. He helped make our wedding perfect! I could not have asked for anything more! He made sure to calculate the timing of everything, include songs for many generations and ensure that everything ran smoothly. I high recommend Jim!

Jim really is the "Perfect Host". He is, by far, the best at what he does! If you're getting married in Indiana, you will regret not booking Jim. He will make your day go smoothly, he'll communicate with your vendors to make sure details line up, he'll get the crowd riled up to dance the night away (seriously, he got EVERYONE out there dancing!). We are so thankful we had Jim at our wedding.

There are not enough good things I could say about Jim Cerone to truly convey how amazing he is! We had the pleasure of having him as our DJ for our wedding on 10.13.2017. Jim is a fantastic host, he is so elegant and well-spoken and knows how to read a group perfectly. He kept the reception flowing smoothly all night. There were no lulls in activity and everyone was on the dance floor as some point during the night. My favorite thing about Jim is how much he genuinely cares for his clients. You aren't just a paycheck for him, you are important and interesting and he wants to get to know you so that he can create the best evening possible for you. Jim saved our ceremony, too. We hadn't opted for him to do our ceremony music thinking, "It's only 6 songs and it's only 20 minutes. A playlist on my phone through the house sound system will be fine..." (Seriously, don't be like us. This was the ONLY thing that went wrong during our wedding). The house sound system crashed literally minutes before the ceremony and we couldn't play the music on my phone through their speakers. We were stressed. Poor Jim was stressed (he was pacing on the patio while we were frantically trying to fix the sound). Finally, my husband asked if anyone had a bluetooth speaker we could borrow and Jim was immediately on it! He generously lent us his bluetooth speaker and hooked my phone up to it and, voila! we had music! This is just one of the reasons why you can't find a review of this man that is less than 5 stars. He cares about his clients. He is amazing at what he does, and you can tell that he loves his career. If Jim is available on your wedding date, you would be crazy NOT to have him.

Jim was such an AMAZING DJ!!!! He was so professional and so fun at the same time and made our day so smooth and seamlesss! He went around and got to know all of our family members and friends and truly was the perfect host. We could not have asked for a better DJ!

Jim is truly the best at what he does! He is extremely professional, organized and well spoken. He was an essential piece to our "A-List" wedding vendor team. I am so glad we booked him as he the "best of the best" for DJ services. He set the tone for a classy and elegant wedding for our guests and truly kept the evening entertainment right on par. I would hire Jim again in an instant! He is very well respected in the industry and that speaks volumes to his craft. Thank you Jim for making our day a very memorable one!

Jim was everything my wife and I could have asked for and more. My wife, having the privilege to babysit his kid’s growing up, knew that Jim was top notch and he outdid himself! We had a magical evening that went absolutely perfect. The ceremony, food, drinks, cake, Jim’s Selfie-Stand, and THE MUSIC- All the right songs at the perfect moment! I can't begin to tell you how many people have said it was the best wedding reception that they have been to and we are still receiving messages expressing congrats and thanks. The Selfie Stand was an absolute hit and was such a great time going through the pictures with family the day after. All of the memories that we will be able to keep from that including the continuous laughs as we made our way through all of the pictures are priceless! Once again thank you so much for all that you did- keeping us on schedule, me on the dance floor as I tend to get chatty, and the party hoppin! Jim Cerone is indeed The Perfect Host!

Jim is the best in the City! He's Classy and Professional! He is a 10

Jim kept everyone dancing all night. It wasn't a nightclub for the younger guests, but rather a party for everyone invited.

When my husband and I were asking around about DJ's for our wedding, every single venue and person that we talked to said to go with Jim Cerone - and I'm so glad that we did! This man was amazing from start to finish! It was great to be able to meet with him and discuss the general feel of our wedding, and as the date got closer he was excellent about the details. He made sure he had the correct pronunciations of the wedding party, honored our do not play list, and even helped guests find their seats at the reception. He was not only a DJ, but facilitated our reception to make sure every event ran smoothly. Jim got to know us on a personal level, which definitely showed throughout the evening. It felt as if he were a friend rather than a stranger playing music for us. It was an honor to have Jim Cerone at our wedding!

Jim Cerone did an amazing job of keeping our reception fun and alive. We told him this was a big celebration and we wanted people to have fun! He really did everything we asked of him and more. I think he is worth every penny we spent on him. In my eyes, the reception's success is based on the music and dancing. He helped make ours smashing hit!

I do not have enough words to describe how awesome Jim was! We used his services for our wedding reception. My husband and I have very specific thoughts when it comes to music and those carried over into the music we wanted at the reception. Jim accommodated every request we made - he even managed to play Kings of Leon, Frank Sinatra and George Strait seamlessly! Where we weren't sure what to do/play, he made suggestions that went over so well with our guests. He also helped me orchestrate a few surprises for our guests that went off without a hitch. He worked well with us and our vendors - almost all our vendors knew him! Jim is wonderful and I highly recommend his services.

Jim is fantastic! He took all the music we love to create the perfect blend for our reception.

A friend of the family recommended Jim to us and we're glad she did. He wasn't a DJ so much as he was an MC. He basically acted as a wedding planner for the ceremony, helped us with details for that and the reception that we did not anticipate, and hosted the perfect wedding for my wife and I. The music was just as we asked. He prepped everybody on their speeches and how the evening was going to flow. I can't say enough good things about Jim! The dance floor was packed all night and our families don't even dance haha
