Jay and his team are communicative, thoughtful and set your mind at ease. We had some specific ideas in mind for our special day and Jay delivered on all of it and then some. Nothing ever goes exactly perfect, but even in those moments, Jay was able to easily reset and get us back on track.
Our guests had a wonderful time and our goal of having everyone - and we mean everyone! - on the dance floor, even for a moment, was achieved.
You won't be sorry working with Jay and Paragon Music. Highly recommend.

From the moment we first spoke with Jay, we knew he would be perfect for our wedding. Jay was knowledgeable, responsive, and flexible during the planning process, and his wedding planning made It east for us to pass along information and update details. We received numerous comments from our guests about how much they loved the music, fun photo booth and dancing! All in all, we could not be happier with Jay, and the Paragon Music deejays!

The DJ team was professional, communicative, and flexible throughout planning, easing nerves and handling last‑minute changes. They read the crowd expertly, mixed genres to suit diverse guests, and kept the dance floor packed all night. They also acted as a backup coordinator and offered fun extras like a photo booth. Highly recommended.

Jay played in our wedding, and what can I say? It was amazing!
We had an unusual mix of guests in our wedding: Brazilians, Russian-speakers and Americans. We wanted to see every...
one dancing and singing and having fun. We thought it would be a challenge to mix Russian and Brazilian and American music... but Jay did a great job! People were dancing and sining from beginning to end.
Jay was also very friendly and his energy was contagious! He was very flexible and professional - which gave me peace of mind when I chose him for such an important date.
Jay came recommended by a friend and I definitely would recommend him too!

We hired Jay for our wedding. He was professional from the first meeting and continued to keep in touch throughout the planning process. (We hired him around 10 months prior to the...
wedding). We were scheduled to have an outdoor wedding, and on the night at our rehearsal we decided to move indoors due to the chance of rain. I let Jay know and it was no problem! On Saturday morning the chance of rain was gone and we decided to move back outdoors! I called Jay the morning of the wedding to let him know and he rolled with all our chances with no issues. He did our ceremony music exactly how we wanted (we had certain places we wanted the music to start in certain songs) and then when the reception started he played a great mix of songs during dinner and then once dinner ended and the party started people were on the dance floor all night! My husband and I are huge music fans, so the DJ was one of the most important things to us! We would absolutely hire him again! Everyone commented on how great the music mixes were and how much fun the night was!!

sponsive, and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. She made us feel so comfortable and easily answered all of our questions. We are picky with music, and Jay played what we wanted, and other songs that aligned with our style. The party never stopped, and Jay read the crowd so well while switching up genres. The music was the best part of the day for sure, thank you bringing the party!
