La Bella And The Beat

Hire La Bella and The Beat if you want the wedding of your dreams! When you work with Jay La Bella, you get the top-notch experience, and everyone deserves that for their special day. Jay is worth every penny and we would hire him again in a heartbeat! Jay is a professional through and through. He will impress you with his knowledge, he is personable and easy to work with, and he has a buttoned-up operation so you get the best service. Ahead of our wedding, he even met with us onsite to review the layout and ensure that we were set up for success. We really appreciate this level of thoroughness and it made us feel extremely reassured that our event would be smooth. We had the greatest time at our wedding and Jay was such a big part of that. He worked with my dad on a last minute walk-on song for his Father of the Bride speech, which was a hilarious addition. This is just one example to demonstrate how great he is, his willingness to have fun and be creative in the moment. He is such a talented DJ and creates the most electric energy. He played all of our requests and added songs that were perfectly cohesive with our playlist. Our guests clearly had fun and we’ve received so many compliments on how incredible the music was. We told Jay that we wanted a full dance floor all night, and boy did our wish come true! He spun an amazing and eclectic mix for people of all ages. Everyone danced, including our younger teenage cousins and grandparents. My husband and I have never had so much fun on a dance floor! When we reflect back on our wedding, we can’t imagine it without Jay La Bella. He made our day so special and getting to work with him is one of the fondest memories from our wedding.

Going into our wedding, our number one priority was the dancefloor. We are two people that love busting a move, and knew our guests would want to be out having fun with us. As such, our biggest goal was finding a DJ that would set the tone for the night we wanted. Jay was the first vendor we hired based off glowing reviews, and boy did he deliver! First, he was AMAZING to communicate with prior to the day and wanted to really understand what was important to us as a couple. His preparation really showed as it felt like the music he played and the vibe he created was specifically for us. Our dance floor was packed the entire time, and everyone was having a blast. If you need a DJ, you would be remiss not to hire Jay. He is amazing. I truly don't have the right words to communicate how grateful we are we found Jay for our wedding! The BEST decision we made.

Jay is the MAN! He is thorough and really brings the party! I found Jay off of a recommendation from a co-worker. Jay made sure the day went seamless, from the ceremony to the reception. Jay is very diligent in his planning so your wedding will be perfect. We HIGHLY recommend. Jay made the party incredibly fun and keeps the dance floor packed. PS get the photo booth. You will not be disappointed! EVERYONE had so much fun with it!

WE LOVE DJ JAY! My Husband, our families, and I are sill in shock how perfect the music, and sound system at our wedding was. First, the planning process with Jay was incredible. Picking out music and making sure the party keeps going can be an intimidating part of the wedding process and Jay took off any pressure Alex and I felt during the planning process. Jay takes the time to get to know you and your vision for the Wedding. Next, the day of the wedding our dreams came true. Jay ensured that every guest at the wedding could hear the ceremony. The music throughout the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception was amazing. We were able to dance the night away with our loved ones and this could not of happened without JAY! He had the amazing idea of doing a 15 minute dance party after our first dance before dinner and it set to the tone for night! It was five minutes into the wedding reception and we already had over 100 people dancing!! A great bonus of the night was the photo booth Jay provided! We now have 100's of photos of everyone having a great time in a photo album they all signed. Thank you for helping these memories live forever. Thank you, thank you, thank you for helping our wedding dream come true!!!!!

Jay is amazing!! Don’t even hesitate about hiring him, just do it. Jay was fun and friendly from the first consult forward. He worked with us leading up to our wedding to help customize our music for our ceremony. He accommodated our special requests and expertly made the music match our vibe. He helped us iron out our wedding timeline and then he kept everyone dancing all night. Jay’s transitions are excellent and he knows how to read the room. We had so much fun dancing and all our guests were raving about him. We’d hire him again in a heartbeat.

The perfect DJ for our wedding! Jay was exceptionally professional, a blast to work with, and went above and beyond to make sure our special day flowed seamlessly from start to finish. He took time to get to know us as a couple, and even helped us develop a timeline of events. From our first consultation straight through wedding day, Jay was personally invested in capturing our unique style and translating it into a soundtrack that made our wedding feel like walking through a movie. Every beat was in time with the moment; every selection paired to the energy. His attention to detail made all the difference. He even attended our rehearsal! We could not recommend Jay more; we were looking for a DJ but had no idea we would receive an experience so authentic and inspired. Jay’s genuine appeal made us feel like we were his only clients, and his presence at the wedding was like that of an old friend (who just happened to also be our DJ). Saying farewell at the end of the evening was like parting ways with your favorite schoolteacher. Thank you, Jay, for being as excited about our day as we were! We hope to see you again. – The Potes

Jay was incredible to work with for our wedding! We hung up the phone after our first call with Jay and knew that we had found our DJ. He understood what the vibe we were going for right away. He let us bounce ideas off of him and gave us feedback on what he thought would work and what might be difficult to pull off. From the processional until the very last song of the night, he helped make sure everything was amazing. We trusted him to go in whatever direction he felt the party was going and play whatever songs he felt would keep everyone happy and he crushed it! He had everyone on the dance floor dancing and singing up a storm all night long. If your want a DJ who is down to earth, cares about his clients, and work with you to create something truly special for you and your guests, Jay is your guy!

Jay was absolutely incredible to work with for our wedding! From the very first sit down meeting we had, I knew Jay would be our DJ. In the months leading up to the wedding, he was super communicative, and was there to answer any questions for us, and responded to emails and texts in a very timely manner. He worked with us on every aspect of the wedding. From music before the ceremony started, until the very last song of the night, everything was perfect. He kept the dance floor going all night long and all our guests wouldn’t stop raving about him. Jay worked with us on all aspects of our wedding, and helped make sense of what the flow and feel of our wedding would look like. It was like having your own personal wedding coordinator who also was a killer DJ, and put our minds at ease for our big day. Jay really took the time to get to know us, and learn the type of music we enjoyed in our life and wanted at our wedding. When the day came, to say he hit it out of the park would be an understatement. If your looking for a DJ who is going to listen to your wants and needs, and work with you to create something truly special for you and your guests, Jay is your guy! Thanks again for everything Jay!

Jay was referred by a friend who spoke very highly of him and his services. From the very beginning, working with Jay was like having a personal wedding coordinator. He helped us to iron out minor details we hadn’t even thought of at our first meeting with him. Working with him was not only easy and efficient, but truly enjoyable. We connected with Jay immediately and were able to exchange ideas freely and comfortably. He got us and what we were looking for right away. When it came to the music and the wedding day and ceremony, Jay absolutely crushed it. His attention to detail and timing made everything turn out perfectly. He took the vibe we had envisioned and totally ran with it and turned it into the party of a lifetime for us and our loved ones. We got so many compliments from our guests and we owe so much of it to Jay and his abilities. From start to finish, Jay ran the show and kept the good times rolling. We’d recommend Jay for any event.

You'll never find a better DJ - and I say that as a wedding vendor who has worked hundreds of weddings and knew hands down that Jay is who I HAD to have at my own wedding. Jay brings the best vibe - acceptable amounts of cheese, no gimmicks, lots of humor, pure kindness, clear passion, and a genuine interest in connecting with the people around him through music just as well as conversation. Everyone raved about how epic he was all night and any time we talk about our wedding they bring him back up. Jay is simply the best of the best - don't miss out and book him ASAP!

If you’re still contemplating who to hire for your wedding or event, stop and hire Jay. First, he takes so much time to plan (and in our case, re-plan) your most perfect day down to each moment. Despite all the pre-wedding calls and creative exchange, he STILL came out the day before our wedding to organize an entirely new rain plan with us. Next, he’s a natural at reading a crowd and taking your vision and turning it into reality. We gave him just a bit of inspo and he completely understood what we were going for. Our crowd was on the dance floor before dinner even started. Lastly, he’s simply a pleasure to work with. Super organized, responsive, and has the right tools to make planning straightforward. Thanks so much for an amazing dance party and helping us bring our wedding day vision to life!!

When we went to our sister-in-law's wedding and Jay was the DJ, we knew immediately that he was also OUR DJ. Jay LaBella is not your run-of-the-mill wedding DJ. (You know exactly the kind of DJ I'm talking about.) Jay is one part wedding expert, one part music artist, one part event emcee, one part your next best friend, and one part lighting expert. That combination makes for one of the most seamless and memorable weddings you - and your guests - will ever attend. In fact, we trusted Jay's expertise so much that we had him choose all four of our wedding processional songs. It's true. And because he had already taken the time to get to know us so well, they were the PERFECT choices. I even paused as I walked down the aisle to nod a thanks to him - his choice was perfect, but it's not one I would have ever known to choose. That's because Jay isn't just queuing up music. He's listening. To you individually. To you as a couple. To your planner or coordinator. To your vibe. To your aesthetic. To the needs and constraints of your venue. And most importantly, to your dance floor. When I tell you I didn't leave the dance floor from the moment it was open to the moment it was closed I'm not exaggerating. The party was legendary. He will legitimately get your aunt to dance to music she has NO business dancing to. If you want someone to care about your wedding as much as you do, please, I beg of you, hire Jay. We are so humbled and honored to now call him a friend.

There are endless stressors that go into planning and creating the perfect wedding day. Sam And I knew from the second we got off our first discovery call with Jay that he was our guy. Jay from day one helped us make a process that most think to be chaotic, SO MUCH easier. He started the party early during our rehearsal in getting everybody laughing during our practice of the ceremony. Between his technology in using the mobile app to plan all our songs, and the conversations and questions Jay goes out of his way to have in order to make sure he understands exactly what we wanted for our special day. Not to mention the absolute best lighting and sound setup in the business… Jay goes above and beyond and there are not words to describe what a awesome human he is. The team made our day so incredibly special, and even with some last minute (literally) changes to have one of my best friends throw flowers and white claws, he made it happen without question. All the music and the dance floor was full of smiles and happiness from the second we started. I could write a book of how happy we are with Jay, we love him and and hope others can experience the greatness of his work as we did on our big day.

Hired Jay to be our DJ and he was WAY more than that. Helped us understand our timelines, helped coordinated our ceremony procession and recession, and mixed up some great classics for our reception. Felt like I hired a musically talented wedding coordinator instead of a "DJ". THANK YOU JAY

Jay is, in the words of the indomitable Tina Turner, "simply the best!" From our first phone call with him, we knew he was our DJ: He is funny, organized, incredibly skilled at what he does and a consummate professional. What other DJ do you know what goes to yearly conferences to keep his skills sharp? From setting us up with an app where we could add songs easily for every part of our event, to making custom edits to our first dance/family dances, to making sure every moment of our wedding was note perfect - Jay absolutely smashed it. Our guests are still raving about how awesome he was and the dance floor was full all night! Trust me: Hire La Bella and the Beat if you want to throw a killer wedding!

Hiring Jay was one of the best decisions we've made!! We interviewed a handful of recommended DJs for our wedding and they all had the same cookie cutter vibe - after we talked with Jay it was a breath of fresh air - done deal. He took the time to explain why he was different from other companies, how is process works and expanded on his vision and ideas to make our wedding say something special. I can't express enough his ability to be extremely professional and thorough with a personality that truly made the whole process stress fee and easier for us. Aside from the business side of things, Jay brought the HEAT when it came time to put on a show. Our dance floor was packed from start to finish. We were able to provide a few songs ahead of time to give the vibe we were looking for and he took off with it and totally exceeded our expectations. The vibe and energy Jay brought to our event was top notch - Lights, Music, Photo Booth and even custom song mixes - There's no chance you can find someone who can out perform him in the industry.

When chatting with our wedding coordinator about what we were looking for in a DJ, she immediately told us we needed to check out La Bella and The Beat. From the moment we met Jay, we knew it was going to be a perfect fit. He is so energetic and friendly and truly wants to create the perfect vibe through music for your wedding. His planning app is so useful and easy to use and definitely helps to curate some great music selections for the entire event. Jay brought a few of our more specific (and slightly crazy) ideas to life in the most fun way, including our wedding entrance to John Cena’s “The Time is Now” and an epic 10-minute Abba Fest to kick off dancing. Our dance floor was packed the entire night with jam after jam playing! We would absolutely recommend La Bella and The Beat and highly suggest getting your dancing shoes ready if Jay is in charge of music for your wedding/event!

Jay is the absolute best, I really don't know how else to start this. Not only does he provide the most personalized and perfect soundtrack for your day, but he creates an atmosphere that fills your space with music, joy, dance, laughter, memories, and FUN. I knew he was going to be our DJ in our first conversation, as he was so personable, and I could tell he really understood my request and love for music. He understood the vision of the whole wedding and the feel that we wanted for each and every part of our night from cocktail hour up until the songs he played as our guests were exiting. We also had people of all ages at our wedding and he was sure to play tunes that everyone not only could dance to but could not stop themselves from dancing to! He exceeded our expectations, and provided an above and beyond dance party - I could not step away or get pulled away from that dance floor. We would all get so pumped as one song transitioned to the next, because we could not wait to see what it was. I remember saying to my friends and family, while dancing and singing, "I wish we could do this every night!!" Jay, you are so talented, and we are so, so happy we got to work with you!! It was an incredible night and we can't thank you enough!

If you want your dance floor to be packed all night long - look no further because JAY is your guy! We were introduced to Jay's talents at our friend's wedding and we knew we had to steal him for ours. Communicating with Jay about the details leading up to the wedding was effortless on our part. On our wedding night, our guests were complimenting him to us ALL NIGHT LONG. We partied the night away on the dance floor and WE HAD THE BEST TIME. We could not be more happy choosing La Bella And The Beat!

There aren't enough words to express our gratitude and appreciation for Jay. We were a pandemic couple, so meeting vendors over phone/zoom was interesting to say the least, but with Jay...we knew, our 30 min intro call ran over an hour, we lost track of time getting to know him, him to know us, laughing like we had been friends for years. Jay was always accessible, has some great technology (love the Vibo app) and is well versed in the industry. He knows how to read a room to get the party moving and he's one HELL of an MC. We were lucky enough to find him and he made our music dreams a reality (I mean ask him about the Lion King/Drop Kick Murphy intro song)...however we are even more grateful for our paths crossing and the friendship that has now formed. Keep jammin Jay and don't ever lose that phone! We love ya!

Jay was absolutely unreal as our wedding DJ! He turned our wedding into a night club in the best way possible, we wanted a nonstop dance party & he delivered. We’ve been to so many weddings recently & Jay provided us with a truly unique set list that our guests loved. I sent him way too many song recommendations and he absolutely killed it using that inspo, he mixed the entire night and our dance floor was 100% packed for hours. We had a great connection with him from the first outreach & he understood our music vision for every phase of the day. His extra resources, tools, and willingness to be at our rehearsal were all above & beyond the call of duty. Jay, we appreciate you & could not more highly recommend your services!

I don’t have enough good things to say about Jay! From your first phone call over a year out from our wedding I knew he was our DJ. He was kind, funny and very knowledgeable about the wedding world. He has a great communication and helped guide my fiancé and I every step of the way and answered all of our questions ahead of time. Jay is every thorough enough to be apart of our rehearsal which I was so grateful for! The day of the wedding he was timely, flexible and kept people on the dance floor all night long. The following day my guests raves about how awesome Jay was! It was an absolutely pleasure to work with Jay and I would 10/10 recommend him to anybody seeking out a DJ for their next event!

There’s no way to sum up the EXPERIENCE that is La Bella and the Beat. Jay is the lone DJ we talked to before our wedding, and we do not have an ounce of regret about that. Jay was absolutely fantastic from our first conversation until the moment he loaded his last piece of equipment. He was helpful, communicative, and most importantly, he truly became a friend during the wedding planning process. He is so easy to connect with and will 1000% help you make your wedding vision come to life! He nailed all the details, from the ceremony sound to our important moment songs, and of course the raging dance floor. Jay is a 12/10 and you should hire him ASAP!

We are beyond grateful that we chose Jay for our wedding DJ. Jay is thoughtful when going through the planning process, and makes sure that the vision that was discussed comes to life in the most magical way. We’ve received countless compliments on the music and lighting at our event. Thank you, Jay, for being the true MVP of our reception party. You brought the energy, and kept it all night long!! We can’t recommend Jay enough, and hope to find a reason to book him again in the future!

Jay made our dream wedding come to life! He was truly amazing to partner with! From our initial interaction with Jay all the way up to the wedding day and follow-up after, he listened to us, communicated with us, and supported us. He was so helpful during the planning process, especially when we had questions or needed advice. He created such incredible energy during the ceremony and reception! All of our guests raved about the music. He did an incredible job reading the crowd while still keeping with the vibe he knew we wanted. When we first found Jay we thought it was too good to be true - we were wrong! He's a professional in every sense and we couldn't have asked for a better partner. Hire him, or at the very least talk to him. Once you do, you'll hire him too!

I am so thankful to have found Jay & his team for our wedding. I felt lost when trying to look for a DJ, but I reached out to Jay & we instantly connected on our intro call. He was there to help through the entire wedding planning process. The night of our wedding Jay & his team made sure everything ran smoothly & kept our guests dancing all night long!

I 1000% recommend Jay! I have no words to express how incredible Jay is. His attention to detail, organization, communication and upbeat personality is second to none. He brought all of my crazy wedding ideas to life, and made our wedding the most magical day ever. From the crazy winds during our ceremony, he still made the atmosphere simply perfect. To the reception when there wasn’t a second of the reception where the dance floor wasn’t full. My guests have not stopped raving about how much amazing he was. We have so much gratitude for him! DONT HESISTATE, BOOK HIM NOW!

Jay is the Best. If you are looking for a DJ for your wedding or event you can stop here. We got married in June of 2022 and our wedding was truly amazing. We give a huge amount of credit to Jay of La Bella and the Beat for that. Jay was absolutely amazing to work with from start to finish. The love for what he does reflects in his expertise and professionalism. Jay took a ton of time to get to know us and made sure our wedding truly reflected our personal style. During a meeting that Jay set up a month prior to our wedding, we highlighted the importance of everyone having a good time and Jay CRUSHED it! He had everyone from my 12 year old sister in-law to my 89 year old grandpa engaged and out on the floor breaking it down. From enhancing our ceremony to absolutely rocking out the reception, La Bella and the Beat was honestly one of the best decisions we made. So seriously, if you are still looking for your DJ - stop. You will not be disappointed! Highly HIGHLY recommend!!

Words can’t express how happy we are with our experience with La Bella and The Beat. Jay absolutely nailed the ceremony and our reception. He reads the crowd well and we got so many compliments on him! He also was helpful in things outside of his DJ services and truly made us feel at ease. If we ever need a DJ again we for sure will be reaching out to him first. Best decision we made, was hiring him for our wedding.

100% recommend!!!! Jay created such a fun and easy environment for our wedding. Prior to the big day, he went above and beyond answering questions and advising us on how best to 'create flow' based on our vision. On the big day, I heard jam after JAM mixed and blended into the next - there was literally no lull in the absolute BANGERS he chose based on our rough guidelines. All generations and dance-levels were on the floor and enjoying themselves.

Jay was absolutely fantastic. He is personable and professional and makes you feel so special. We never imagine music would play such a pivotal role in our wedding and boy were we wrong. From lighting to music Jay made our night so special. If you're thinking about it, HIRE HIM!

Working with Jay was a dream! One bit of advice I have for all couples starting out on the planning process is to seek vendors that have an easy and streamlined package/quote/payment process. This cuts down on headaches and a billion emails back and forth. Jay set a great standard here- his whole process was streamlined, friendly, and personalized. From thoughtful and easy to understand packages, to a cool app to help pick music out, to t-minus 1 month meeting that truly helped us take a *beat* and get excited (instead of just stressed) — we were so happy to have Jay on our team. On our actual wedding weekend, Jay’s calm professionalism and quiet hilarity was legendary. I felt like we were old friends throwing a party together, but clearly only Jay was extremely good at throwing parties and knew how to take my blabbering about speech timing and turn it into a thoughtful structure for our reception. Your DJ does so much more than just hit play, and I’m embarrassed to say I didn’t realize this until way further into the process than I should have. So, Jay was excellent for all the OTHER things a DJ does, and still totally delivered on the dance floor. We literally felt transported to “da club”; Jay is clearly passionate about his craft and puts the work in to be exceptional. Also the photo booth is so legit, please get the photo booth. If you take one thing away from this review, know that Jay will make you look awesome, feel great, and dance hard. He’s not gonna steal the mic and make your wedding his latest standup gig (even though I’m certain he would also crush that).

Wow! Where do I begin?! We had the pleasure of working with Jay from La Bella and the Beat for our wedding, and it was perfect! I can not recommend Jay enough, he took his time helping me make song choices, he was very professional and brought the best kind of energy to our wedding the whole night. I don’t think there was one person that wasn’t on the dance floor at least once! We could not have asked for more! Can’t wait to see all the dancing photos, especially with the awesome uplighting he did. Thank you Jay, i’ll miss working with you!

Our guests had SO much fun dancing thanks to Jay! He was so responsive throughout our planning process and offered great advice. He executed our ceremony and edited all of our important songs to perfection. He kept the flow of our timeline on track and managed to get all of our guests on the dance floor. Jay also provided our uplighting and photobooth. Our guests had SO much fun using the photobooth and he even designed a special logo for our photo strips. Jay is a truer DJ and was a dream to work with for our big day!

JAY!! Not only is Jay the best DJ but could also dual as a wedding planner, that is how organized he is! He had everything down to a science even when I threw last minute changes at him. The dance floor was packed, not a single person sitting at the tables and our guests could not stop talking about how much fun the music was. I will 10/10 recommend Jay to everyone! Super professional, easy going, communicative, and fun even during the planning process! Thank you Jay!!

If you need a DJ for your wedding, you HAVE to book Jay!! We are so glad we did! From our initial phone call, through all the emails and planning, down to our big day, Jay was extremely professional, fun to work with, made us feel like we’d know him forever, knew exactly what we wanted, and executed it all without any hiccups on our wedding day! All of our guests raved about him and had so much fun- they even chanted “ENCORE!” at the end of the night and didn’t want Jay to stop! You absolutely will not be disappointed if you book him as your DJ!

If you are looking to have your dance floor packed the entire night, then definitely book LaBella and the Beat! We had non-stop compliments during our entire wedding about how fun the DJ was! When we got engaged, we knew we had to have Jay be there - we have been to multiple events where he was the DJ, and every single one he brought so much energy and really knew how to get the crowd moving! It was no question that he had to be our DJ. We had an almost two year engagement, and from booking, to planning, to site visits, to executing the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, Jay was so responsive, professional, and had an excitement for our wedding that was truly genuine! He listened to every silly request I made (like our "family tradition" Celine Dion tribute, haha!) he answered all of our questions, he was a great team player with my other vendors, he was a total dream to work with! We recommend Jay a million time over! He was such a key player in making our day perfect! 10/10, highly recommend!

We booked Jay for our wedding ceremony/reception and he did an amazing job! Even with his busy schedule, Jay made time to have planning calls with us leading up to our wedding day and even came to our ceremony rehearsal, which was a huge help making things run smoothly the following day!! Jay kept all of our guests on the dance floor the whole night and was such a fun time!

Church Landing recommended Jay to us for our wedding. We had the best time!!!! Thank you so much Jay for all of your hard work, you really made the night and helped so much put all the pieces together. It was so easy to pick songs because of the app he provided to us. It was a magical experience and I cant thank you enough.

Jay is incredible and we are so happy we had him DJ our wedding! What was particularly striking about Jay in the months leading up to the wedding was how attentive he was to us as a couple and how much time he spent with us making sure our music vision would come to life on the day of. He really cares about his clients and it’s apparent in everything he does. We had multiple calls with Jay to iron all the details out and we were always so impressed with how prepared, organized, and genuine he was. When our wedding weekend rolled around, he went above and beyond by being there for our rehearsal to make sure all the music cues were right and by editing our mother/son and father/daughter songs for length. He loves music and understands how to keep people dancing and having a good time. I didn’t leave the dance floor for longer than 10 minutes total once it opened up! Everyone had an incredible time and commented on how great he was. We feel so lucky!

I honestly cannot say enough good things about Jay. If you can book him, absolutely book him. Maybe the best money spent on the entire wedding. Let me start with the most important point: The music at our wedding was BOMB. It's been weeks, and guests are still texting me and telling me how great the music was. AND a lot of our friends are in the music industry. So the pressure was on. Jay perfectly blended the mix of classic hits that everybody will rock to (opening the dance floor with "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" was a genius call), but then he also incorporated a lot of music based on our taste, our ages (we were teens when Missy Elliot reigned supreme), and the information that we gave him during our planning. The transitions were amazing, and the dance floor was packed literally the entire time. BUT it wasn't just the music. When plans shifted during the pandemic, Jay was a nimble and comforting professional who advised on how we could use sound in a remote ceremony location, how we could use lighting to make our Plan B just as spectacular as our original plans, and he orchestrated the speeches and toasts during dinner perfectly. Booking Jay means getting an amazing DJ *and* a wedding ninja who can pivot on a dime and handle anything that may come up during planning or on the day itself. Just book him. Trust me -- I had to plan my wedding three times because of COVID. Literally could not have done it without Jay.

Jay was amazing to work with from day one and was everything we could have wanted in a DJ for our wedding. He paid attention to the details, was professional, kept our timeline on track and people on the dance floor all night. 10/10, highly recommend!

Jay aka La Bella and the Beat is THE BEST. Look no further, he is the DJ you want to hire!! There were several instances in the middle of our wedding dance party where our friends came up to us and said “The DJ is amazing, I can’t stop dancing!” The mother of the bride even missed eating our wedding cake because she was too busy dancing. When we started planning our wedding, as a couple we agreed that finding the perfect DJ was top of our “to-do” list. We wanted to find the best DJ in New England, one that understood the vibe of the wedding we were aiming for. We had attended many weddings in the past and felt that the DJ choice can either make or break a wedding. We set off to find a band or DJ who had three qualities: (1) Ability to corral people, make announcements, etc. (2) Ability to read a room, get people moving and play good music to our taste and (3) Responsible and communicative vendor. Often times you'll get a DJ who plays a great set, but they're awful at speaking and making announcements. Other times it's the opposite. Jay combines the best of both. We had calls with around 5 DJs before speaking with Jay. After our call with Jay, we hung up and immediately knew he was who we were going to hire and would check all the boxes we were looking for. We could tell from the first call how passionate Jay is about his work as a DJ, and about the couples he works with. Working with Jay was the best decision ever!! He went way above and beyond what we were even looking for. Throughout the wedding planning process Jay was amazing. We exchanged tons of phone calls emails and texts and every time it felt like we were talking to a friend. He gave us so many good pointers about song selections, how to structure the reception and speeches etc. he had amazing lighting options, a playlist phone app, and we even opted to use his photo booth which was a huge hit with our guests. Our reception was perfect, Jay really knows how to read a room and capture the attention of all guests. From the bridal party introduction, to the first dances and the speeches Jay effortlessly made sure everyone was fully engaged with what was happening at everyone moment of the reception. Once the dance party kicked off, the dance floor was packed the entire time. I did not see anyone sitting down, he really hit the nail on the head with everything we were looking for. Thank you Jay for being amazing!!!! We love you! The Ballentines!

Jay was awesome to work with! Very professional and thorough. He has a very down to earth personality and makes you feel like you’ve known him forever which is great if you’ve never planned a wedding before! He kept in touch and was always a text or email away. Everything was easy and smooth. If we ever have a bash (cause we’re not getting married again lol) we’ll definitely hire him! Highly recommend! Thanks again Jay!

Jay is simply the best. You are in SUCH Good hands with him. In reference to his dj work you just can’t do better. He made custom edits for my intros which were amazing. The dance music was fire, there was always people on the dance floor for the whole wedding. The photo booth was a massive hit and everyone loved the photos. But the biggest thing about jay is that he TRULY cares about his clients. He was helping me troubleshoot several problems with other vendors that he has no responsibility to help with. When my make up artist was in the hospital two days before my wedding with a septic infection jay had numbers and contacts for me in less than an hour trying to find a replacement. When I was having issues with my coordinator he listened and helped me figure out problems. Jay is simply the best. You just can’t do better.
