his way. We had specific songs in mind for different parts of the ceremony, and Isaac flawlessly executed our vision, timing the music perfectly. He even accommodated our request to walk out at a specific moment in a song. Dj Isaac's understood that we didn't want to dance the entire time during our first song and smoothly transitioning it to match our desires. When it came to the reception, where we were uncertain about the music vibe, we entrusted him to choose, and he delivered beyond our expectations. The dance floor was always packed with guests having a blast, thanks to his excellent song choices. I wholeheartedly recommend DJ Isaac to anyone seeking an extraordinary DJ. His dedication to fulfilling our wishes and making our wedding unforgettable was truly exceptional. He's the perfect choice for those who want a memorable and enjoyable musical experience on their special day.

y to anyone in need of music services!!!

yed things we liked, and didn't play anything on our "no" list. He had such a great attitude and it was clear he just wanted to make us happy. He also did a great job communicating with our photographer and caterer. My guests, especially my bridal party, keep telling me how great Dustin was at reading the room. He also laughed at my terrible jokes, which gets him bonus points.

more than a customer and not just another couple. The sound quality for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception were perfect and great for all guests. DJ Jake really connects with the couple and understands who you are as a couple to help build your perfect day. He does more than sound and music; he helps build your timeline, provides quality insight from experience, and interacts with the crowd to appropriate and welcome levels.

flowed very smoothly.

ce floor full despite it being 1000 degrees, and we truly believe our guests would have continued dancing into the morning if they had the chance! If you are looking for an experienced, energetic, accommodating, and fun wedding DJ, look no further!

g this band is. Leading up to the wedding, Darrin, Encore’s band leader, was really easy to communicate with and spent time with us on the phone hearing about what songs we had picked out for our dances, what type of music we generally had in mind, how to introduce everyone, etc. Darrin let us know that they would of course learn our picked out songs and that they would feel out the crowd, tailoring music to our guests as the night progressed and getting a sense of what type of music our friends and family seemed to be feeling the most. On the night of our wedding, Encore absolutely nailed our first dance, father/daughter dance, and mother/son dance. They played great music during dinner and then gave us the best dance party of all time! The dance floor was packed and everyone was getting so into every song. They are so fun, have such a strong, positive energy, and are SO talented. Each member of the band really is a phenomenal musician. We feel very lucky and grateful to have found Encore and to have worked with them for our wedding. If you’re considering booking Encore, do it, it was one of the absolute best decisions that we made for our wedding!

or our "big" moments (first dance, father daughter dance, etc.) and matched the music to the vibe of the night. Everyone had a great time and danced most of the night. Not to mention he was an awesome MC. I would highly recommend Jake!

zing with their support and we definitely recommend!!

knew helped us succeed in all our special requests and he was genuinely lovely to work with. I would absolutely recommend using Washington Talent and asking for Jake Sherman if you're looking for a DJ for your event!!

had and he spent a couple evenings on the phone with us leading up to our wedding to set the perfect timeline, go over music selections, and just chat about our big day. We hadn't even met him yet and he felt like an old friend, which is such a comforting feeling when you have those wedding jitters. Our wedding was the best day of our lives and Jake was phenomenal! Everything was absolutely perfect. It is very obvious how talented he is when you look at the whole wedding day and see how he is able to flawlessly flow through the pre-ceremony, ceremony, cocktail hour, reception and dancing. Our guests were ready to dance and Jake brought the energy and was able to read the crowd and pick the perfect music to get everyone going. DJ Jake is one of a kind - you would be lucky to have him!

r reception DJ and he was flawless. It was such a fun night and I really felt like he knew how to keep the party going!

ated well with our other venders. He did have a hiccup with equipment connectivity, but handled it like a professional. He diagnosed the problem quickly, let us know what the problem was, how he addressed it, and what his backup plans were. It was game on the rest of the evening and considering how intense the dancing was, I'd say it was a job well done. If you plan to have older music (e.g. swing, foxtrot, etc.) you’ll want to provide a detailed list, because his repertoire is more of the modern favorites.

our DJ was a no brainer. Jake was seriously incredible. From the moment we inquired with him, he was so fun, respectful and accommodating. He asked us all of the right questions, and made it clear that he was the man for the job. He was extremely detail oriented, and made the whole day about what would make US and our guests happy, rather than coming to us and saying "this is what I do and don't do". Our 100 acre farm wasn't the easiest venue for our vendors coordination wise, and DJ Jake had to set up at 3 different locations, hundreds of yards apart. He showed up in more than ample time, with stellar equipment and had every area set up for success. The ceremony, cocktail hour and reception went flawlessly. All 200 of our guests were tearing up the dance floor all night. We had a few "must hear songs" for the reception but trusted him enough to take care of the rest and he absolutely NAILED the vibe we were aiming to set. I can truly say DJ Jake made our big day so memorable. Both my wife and I will proudly be referring him to any and all brides/grooms we come across in our own businesses, as there is just nobody else I'd trust to DJ a wedding. Jake you the man!

use my ballroom has cream/yellow walls. I mentioned it at least twice in two of my phone calls with Marc. What we had on the wedding night was nothing like cream or yellow. It was a weird and tacky mix of orange and green. I had to adjust the light on my own to figure out what was going on. It turned out his up-lights didn’t even have a cream or yellow color. Had I known that, I would have rented my own lights, because the weird color we had destroyed the photos. However, Marc said he didn’t recall my request and blamed me for not putting it in the timeline. The fact is he never told me to put it in the timeline. I just know that I mentioned that I want cream lights over and over again, even my husband remembers it, who was also on the phone calls with me. Second, the cocktail reception music was not what we agreed on originally. In fact, Marc and my husband convinced me to do Jazz music over the phone. I literally remember that I said I wanted something more elegant and classic because the string quartet would play traditional music for the first 15 minutes of the reception, so I wanted a smooth transition. Then Marc and my husband both said we should do Jazz. So I said ok. Then on the wedding day, I didn’t hear Jazz during the cocktail hour. Instead, he played something super loud that was not classic or elegant at all. When I asked him about it after the wedding, again he said he didn’t recall the conversation. I am very disappointed at the lights and cocktail hour music. It would not have been a big deal had DJ Marc acknowledged that he forgot my requests and apologized, but he insisted that he didn’t recall my requests.

dmit we are slightly disappointed for how things turned out the day of the wedding. We had strong ideas of what songs we wanted played for our ceremony and cocktail hour, which he accommodated, but he barely played any songs from our must play list for the reception. It seems like he has his own formula that he likes to use for playing music and it just wasn’t quite what we wanted. He did have all our guests dancing, which was great, but there were some songs my husband and I were really wanting to hear that didn’t make it. We would rather have danced to songs from our must play list like “Shout” by the Isley Brothers and ones that were special to our relationship over songs like Britney Spears “Hit Me Baby One more Time”.

Andy!

il hour different and elegant! Love Love Love!!

ht for all parts of the ceremony, cocktails, and the reception. We were worried with a wedding of just 60 people that the dance floor might be a little empty, but he picked great songs that we loved and the dance floor was packed all night! Thanks, Marc, for helping us have a wonderful wedding celebration!

our key moments and when it came time to open the dance floor he had ALL our guests dancing the night away - it truly was a dream. THANK YOU, DJ RICH!

to make sure the wedding is a blast with lots of great music to keep everyone happy and moving. During our search we were eventually referred to DJ Marc. Doing the research we came across his page and tons of reviews for him. It immediately stood out that not only were there numerous reviews for him, but they were all perfect scores. The reviews made us hopeful that we found our person and we reached out to him. We got to experience one of the first great qualities for him in that he is easily reached and quick to respond. Almost immediately sent us a message giving a little bit of background info and we made an appointment to talk and ask questions. That phone call immediately sealed the deal for us and brings us to one of the next great qualities, he is extremely easy going and understands what people are looking for and how to conduct events. We had an amazing conversation about the event flow and what he does in order to keep that flow going the entire time. He is great about listening to your ideas, never discounting what you want, and works that into the whole event to make sure it goes exactly as you hope. After we hired him on, we remained in regular contact and he even came out to meet us to go over final details of the wedding. The wedding itself went off without a hitch. Great job with playing all of our song picks and incorporating additional songs to match the vibe we wanted. He helped coordinate things with the various vendors also. Everyone loved the event and conversations afterward from friends was that the energy and music were amazing from beginning to end. DJ Marc was phenomenal and cannot recommend him enough. Talk with him now and know it is one less thing you have to worry about.

from our adding songs at the last minute to him being willing to come early and set up lighting for our ceremony even though he wasn’t scheduled to start until the reception. Not only was he himself flexible, but he managed to seamless move from genre to genre in our eclectic list of song suggestions. The dancefloor was always full and ever new song was another hit that you just couldn’t miss dancing, jumping, and singing along to. I’ve never seen that many people make it until the very last song, but the energy was still going strong even at 10:30pm. Simply wonderful!
