guring out the music was very smooth - we shared Spotify playlists with Tim and he was able to accommodate last-minute changes to the song lineup. Tim was also a great MC for dinner speeches and after-party announcements. Tim lit up the dance party with his amazing mixing skills - the way he arranged & transitioned between songs was incredible. Also kudos to Jessica, who handled the contracting process in the beginning, she responded in a timely manner and the contract was very clear.

o Jessica hoping to find two bilingual DJs for our ceremony and reception, and she did not disappoint! She was incredibly responsive, attentive to our needs, and we really appreciated her dedication to matching us with the perfect DJs for our day. She quickly connected us with DJ Ap Andres and DJ Ivan Cortez, and both were phenomenal.
DJ Ivan, who was our DJ for our ceremony, made our walk down the aisle feel seamless and everything we’ve been dreaming of since we started wedding planning. His kindness and professionalism set the tone for the entire day, and it meant so much to us that he made sure every detail of the ceremony music was clear and perfectly executed.
DJ Ap Andres, who served as both our DJ and emcee for our reception, exceeded all of our expectations and more! He made the flow of our reception feel so smooth, and our family and friends loved his bilingual emceeing in both English and Spanish. It made everything feel so intentional and personal. We were initially nervous that the dance floor might feel empty with a smaller guest list, but he kept *every single guest* on the dance floor from start to finish. The flow, the music, and the energy he brought to our reception truly made our celebration unforgettable.
We can't thank Jessica, DJ Ivan, and DJ Ap Andres enough for helping create memories that we'll cherish forever.

We hired DJ Debbie Bulles through JJ&T Entertainment for our October 2023 wedding after speaking with a handful of other DJs. First: working with JJ&T Entertainment was incredibly ...
smooth. Jessica handled all communication regarding booking and payment and was an open, regular communicator. JJ&T has several DJs and other talent available. After looking through the bios of the DJs and speaking with one other, we selected Debbie as our DJ. From the beginning, it was clear that Debbie was there to help us make our vision come true. She asked questions about what kind of "personality" we wanted our DJ to have, the music style, etc. She made it very easy to communicate what we envisioned, and we had multiple conversations with her. When it came to the day of the wedding, Debbie was flawless. She handled our more unconventional requests (including two accompanying tracks for guest performances and speeches that ran throughout the whole dinner) with ease and kept the dance floor going smoothly all night long. She played the songs we had listed as priorities, mixing the transitions well and choosing appropriate songs for different times of the night, but also put her own professional spin on additional songs. Even our older guests were on the dance floor, and several people commented how good our music was! We'd highly recommend both Debbie and JJ&T Entertainment.

mood too much. No audio issues that we were aware of. Her announcements throughout the night were clear, concise, and calm, exactly what we were hoping for. We sent a huge playlist of songs we wanted for dancing, plus a separate one for the dinner, she played pretty much all of them with a few additions of her own selection that matched the mood really well. Would absolutely work with her again.

missed cocktail hour :(
Having the harp and violin was simply enchanting and created the perfect ambiance for walking down the aisle and during cocktail hour. Their talent was evident in every note they played and their attention to detail did not go unnoticed.
Eric was so easy to work with beforehand to match our vision for the day. From the moment we connected, he exhibited the utmost professionalism and worked closely with us to determine the perfect musical selections that reflected our personalities. He was creative in helping us find the perfect music for our "family promises" during the ceremony as we blended our two families into one. We highly recommend Eric and Jeff to any couples seeking a talented harpist and violinist who are looking to bring beauty and grace to their special day!

party vibe. Ivan had been one of the DJ's at a local spot in DC so we had a sense of who we were getting. Our wedding was also ethnically diverse, latino and white, and wanted a balance of music from across the spectrum. Ivan exceed our expectations in keeping the pace lively and and hyped.

the entire reception and he delivered! we were able to speak with him a few times before the day, to discuss music preferences, order of songs, provide a song playlist we like, and any other special requests. Great music and a great set up with his additional lights and props. He also handled the ceremony beautifully with transitioning flawlessly from one groups entrance songs to the next. We had the lovely luck on our wedding to have sun, snow, rain, and hail and DJ Motheus was able to adjust to changed entrances without anyone noticing. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! Also, a big plus for us was the assurance that if our DJ were to get ill right before the wedding (a.k.a Covid or something), they would be able to send another. our experience was great. As an extra note we are a same sex couple and the company and DJ Motheus made us feel totally comfortable and rocked it!

This band knows how to play to the crowd and how to adjust to keep things moving. From the moment you started playing the dance floor had folks on it, even during the dinner hour.
