We used Jumpstart DJs for my son and daughter-in-law‘s reception. Patrick was our DJ for the event. From start to finish, I was incredibly impressed with Jumpstart DJs. They were incredibly communicative, responsive, and great to work with! The day of the event could not have gone any better! Patrick was not just friendly and professional, but he also did an incredible job of reading the crowd and keeping our reception at the perfect level for each stage of the night. All of the music he played in the background was perfect and then when it came to dancing time, that was when he really shined! He did such an amazing job with the crowd – so impressed! Can’t recommend them highly enough.

We can't recommend Jump Start DJ's enough! From the moment we first connected with Chris, we could tell how much care, detail and experience he brings with him when preparing for weddings. He was so easy to get in contact with. Our over-the-phone meetings and text conversations, as well as Jump Start DJ's online client portal, helped create the exact vibe we wanted for the day. Chris helped run the music for our ceremony, performed acoustically for our cocktail hour, and had the dance floor popping all night long. He even took a couple photos and videos himself to help capture our night. Chris and the Jump Start DJ's team are true professionals who know how to bring your wedding day vision to life. You're in good hands with Jump Start DJ's. Thank you, again, Chris! You're awesome!

. He is so knowledgeable we instantly felt comfortable booking them for our wedding. Other companies we chatted with did not put us at ease the way Jump Start did. Our actual DJ, Christian, was amazing as well! My husband and I gave him full creative freedom with only a few song suggestions and he nailed it. The dance floor was packed ALL NIGHT!! He was so kind and responsive when I reached out. Jump Start was also able to accommodate our ceremony space, which did not have electricity, this was a huge bonus for us. We couldn’t say enough great things, you will not regret booking them for your wedding. -The Rauch’s

nother vendor recommendation. My parents have season tickets to the Lions and we were excited to find out he plays at Ford Field before games. Immediately upon attending his performance at Ford Field, we were reassured that he was the perfect vibe for us. His online forms were super easy to fill out and during our pre-wedding call he was so conversational. The day of, we had absolutely no issues and Chris fit into our plan easy peasy. He performed during our cocktail hour and DJed during our reception. We had quite the variety of music and he managed to make everything flow throughout the evening. We received many complements on his behalf and enjoyed his emcee prescience. Chris is the perfect wedding DJ and I plan to recommend him to anyone else I know getting married in the future.

He knows his music! We did a great job with the first dances and anniversary dance as well - we loved the special shout out for the grooms parents wedding. Even got a picture for us during our first dance. Everyone we talked to as well said he was amazing! Our dance floor consistently looked packed. The volume was always perfect! Couldn’t have asked for anything more! He did an amazing job from start to finish. He also did good with the announcements for shuttles and for the late night snack. Recommending him to everyone we can because he was so great but also because we want to attend more Chris Delgado DJ-d events!

zing job Chris did! He was so great to work with! We were able to chat a couple of times leading up to wedding day, and he supplied forms to fill out so he knew exactly what we were looking for. There wasn’t a single song that he played all day that I was upset about, and once the dance floor opened there wasn’t a single moment that it was empty. There were even a couple of songs that he pulled out his guitar and played live for us! It was a night to remember for sure. Chris went above and beyond for us, and I would recommend him 10 times over! Ps… get the glow sticks, just trust me.

We booked Chris to be our DJ at our wedding and couldn't be happier with the help he provided. He was a great communicator -- we had an initial call when booking for an overview of...

his services and figure out what we wanted. We then had another check in the couple weeks prior to our wedding to finalize details. He had a website which made it easy for us to work on our music and announcement preferences on our own time. He was flexible with incorporating our preferences and was very helpful in providing his expertise to assist with planning. We opted to have Chris sing and play acoustic guitar during cocktail hour and he was great! His dance set was so fun taking into account our song preferences and flowed so smoothly! Chris had amazing energy and it was so great to see him having fun with us! We definitely recommend hiring Jump Start DJ's for your big day!!

Ally M

We booked Jumpstart DJ’s for our wedding and they are fantastic to work with! They provided you a portal where you can put your favorite songs, as well as your “do not play” songs....

In addition, Jumpstart DJ’s is very reasonably priced for the excellent service they provide. We had DJ Eric, who is very friendly and laid back. During our first call with him, he took notes of all our important songs (recessional, first dance, etc). Our venue was small, but the ceremony, cocktail hour/reception and dinner were all in different spots. Eric had no issues moving his equipment around to make sure everything went seamlessly. One “above and beyond” thing Eric did that was very appreciated was going with the flow. Early in the afternoon, the forecast and radar said it was going to rain for the rest of the afternoon, so he setup his equipment for the rain option which was in a barn. However, after dinner, the rain stopped completely, and we decided we wanted to hold the reception outside. Eric moved his speakers and laptop into the yard and insisted it was not a big deal. It was incredible to enjoy the weather outside and appreciated Eric’s flexibility. Would absolutely recommend Jumpstart DJ’s for any wedding or event!

hris is so friendly, responsive, and organized. The client portal is extremely user friendly and very detailed/thoughtful to ensure every aspect of the wedding is personalized. Additionally, DJ Eric gave us a call a few weeks before the wedding to introduce himself and discuss details so that we were all of the same page when it came to music and order of events. This made us feel like Eric truly cared about making our day special. At the event, he was personable and professional, the sound quality was great and he did an awesome job of reading the room to play songs we had pre-selected as well as additional hits that fit the vibe and really got the crowd going. Highly recommend Jump Start DJ's for your wedding!

Alexa S

Chris did an AMAZING job as the DJ for our wedding. Our venue had a unique layout and it meant music had to be set up in 3 different locations, but Chris made the process so smooth...

throughout the entire night. When we had our last meeting with Chris before the day, he joked that our music taste would be a fun challenge for him. Well, he absolutely NAILED it. We only had 50 people at our intimate wedding, but Chris played all of our favorite songs and kept everyone on the dance floor the entire night. Would highly recommend Jump Start DJ's!
