Julie Jakolat, DJ

Julie is the BEST! By the time our 2021 wedding finally happened (after much rescheduling) it felt like Julie was one of our friends. She is incredibly warm and really knows how to make everyone feel comfortable and happy on and off the dance floor. Our guests were raving about how great she was and how she walked around asking for songs people would actually get up and dance to. She has a great way to cluing into what works the crowd and finding a little something for everyone. If you want a really fun party - HIRE HER! You won't be disappointed with her warmth, laser focus on the details, and her ability to make a special night even more special.

DJ Julie is simply the best there is, because she truly enjoys putting on a great party. We first met her at another friend's wedding, where she DJ'd a riotous dance party that was very tailored to the couple but also kept people of all ages on the dance floor all night long. No easy feat. We were particularly struck by the fact that she obviously loved the music herself and cared deeply about making everyone happy. She asked guests what they were hoping to hear (and not hear!) during the cocktail hour, and during the reception, danced along in her booth in a way that gave everyone else permission to let loose. We knew we had to hire her for our wedding, which our friends encouraged. Working with her exceeded all our expectations. She got to know us, meeting with us several times to discuss our tastes and plans. She suggested the perfect songs for various moments throughout the ceremony and party from her truly incredible memory for music, and she even helped us source a karaoke setup for our pre-wedding party. The day itself went off without a hitch. She laughed, earnestly we're pretty sure, at our jokes during the ceremony (thanks Julie, we're glad someone did!), helped us smoothly navigate a slight scheduling mishap, and, when the party started, kept everyone on the dance floor for several hours with a playlist that was somehow both completely reflective of us and accessible to guests of all ages. Many guests complimented us, and her, during the night, and at least one of them is planning to hire her for their wedding. You can stop looking now. There is no better DJ.
