Jeannie T.

AMAZING!! That is the word that describes Bert. Quoting process: He replied quickly to my Yelp message with his services & pricing. We worked through what we wanted & set an in person appt. He didn't require a deposit when we signed the contract. That alleviated the pressure of booking in advance since he allowed us to cancel if we changed our minds. Prepping for the wedding: He sent us forms to fill out and song suggestions to make our process simple. We had a few conference calls to finalize the details and he even allowed us to squeeze in a last minute service. Every time we reached out to him, we heard back very quickly. As a bride, the most worrisome moment is when a vendor goes M.I.A. Bert was awesome with communication & suggestions!! Day of the wedding: He did not bug us about anything, he followed the itinerary and basically guided the whole wedding according to schedule! It was like he was a coordinator LOL He came on time, setup, got everything done the way he promised. Even though our guests left earlier than the contract end time, he played music until the last minute. Services we booked: *Uplighting-beautiful, quick setup & adjustable color changes. I didn't even notice until I saw the pictures that he changed the colors according to what was going on throughout the night! *DJ-he followed our music list & added his own, everyone loved the music even our Vietnamese family LOL *Projector Rental & Slideshow Setup-we sent him the file & everything was setup on time & played with no glitches!! Even the volume was perfect! I quoted so many DJs before going with Bert, so I am SO sure that he is the best in the business! Affordable, flexible, reliable & professional.

First dance with my hubby.. Check out our names and initials in the back. Very bright and easy to see.

See all

Great DJ, music was lit. Everyone had a blast. He came with all the music, lazers, and uplights. We danced all night.

We're SOO happy we chose Edgar to DJ our wedding!!…read more From the very beginning, he went above and beyond for us. Not only was he an excellent communicator during the planning process, but he even helped us secure a photo booth vendor. Every step of the way, he handled my VERY specific requests with patience, creativity, and zero judgment. On the wedding day, he truly facilitated the entire event from start to finish. He kept everything running smoothly behind the scenes while still bringing such fun, warm energy to every moment. Our ceremony music was flawless, transitions were seamless, and the dancing portion of the night was exactly what I envisioned (dancing is my FAVORITE part of weddings, so this was very important to me!). He absolutely nailed the announcements and kept the vibe consistent and elevated. We received compliments about how fun the dancing portion was, and Edgar played a huge part in that. He read the room perfectly and knew exactly how to keep the energy high without ever feeling forced. It was important for us to have diversity among our vendors, but also to have someone who intuitively understood the music preferences of my Filipino family. At the same time, Edgar's music knowledge spans everything, including the genres I love most, which made the night feel both culturally familiar and uniquely tailored to us. Professional, fun, attentive, and genuinely talented, Edgar helped make our wedding unforgettable and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for DJ services for ANY event!!! Truly best day of our life

The dance floor was packed from start to end and even as the bride and groom we spent nearly every minute on the dance floor. If you're looking to have a good time, DJ Edgar is who to hire.

We've got so many 'rave' reviews (pun intended haha) from our guests and can't stop thinking about all the fun we had from start to finish. From day one, their team has been so helpful, responsive, and professional periodically checking in to see where we are at in the planning process. Using their Vibo App to upload songs was a great tool to help us organize how we wanted each portion of the wedding day to feel. DJ TN successfully took our guests on a journey through our curated playlist. Their prices are very competitive often offering a great deal in their packages than what you can get elsewhere. We really liked that they had so many open format DJ's to choose from which is how we found DJ TN. We were looking for someone who could do more than just mix different genres of music, but who had great charisma and could really hype up the crowd during our grand entrance and money dance. The dance floor was packed with family members dancing to familiar cultural and line dance songs followed by a transition through the 80's, 90's, and 2000s throwbacks. By the end of the night, DJ TN dropped all the certified EDM bangers and DELIVERED on an amazing night! Another reason we chose JustINtertainment was because of their vast selection of professional sound and lighting equipment. Justin is the best in the business, very knowledgeable, and ready to make your wedding the party of the year! They came prepared with all the speakers needed to cover 3 separate areas at the venue, had a super clean setup to hide the DJ turntables, and lit up the dance floor like it was an underground rave. Thank you so much Justin and DJ TN for the unforgettable memories!

For our wedding we went with DJ Jeremy Productions. We had Collin DJ our wedding ceremony/reception…read moreand Antoine setup/operate a photobooth. The both of them did a great job helping us make lasting memories. Collin did great with our ceremony, cocktail area, and reception. He hit every cue perfectly at the ceremony. His mixing is killer and he made sure to play our staples and was still accommodating to guest requests. The photobooth was very popular. Though it was a bit expensive - you get what you pay for. We thought about going with a self-setup photobooth but are glad we didnt. We didnt have to worry about a thing. Jeremy and Jeanine helped make sure the design was good for our photobooth. Antoine set everything up on time and was ready for our guests for the whole night. You get to have virtual copies of the photos and the quality is very good.

This review is long overdue. DJ Jeremy & Jeannine provided DJ & MC services for my wedding in…read moreNovember 2023. DJ Jeremy was on the list of recommended vendors from my wedding venue. I reached out and he set up a 30 minute call for us to see if we would be a good fit. From this call, I gathered that Jeremy is competent & extremely organized. It didn't take long after for my fiancee and I to sign our contract with him. Once we were committed, Jeremy prepped us for what was to come. We needed to fill out several lists of music for different moments in our wedding. We booked Jeremy over a year out so we had plenty of time to do this. A month out from our wedding, we hopped on another call to go through the wedding timeline. Jeremy & Jeannine were once again very organized. The meeting was over rather quick and we felt well-prepared for the day of the wedding. On the day of, Jeremy & Jeannine showed up on time. It didn't take long for them to set up. It was obvious that they had worked this venue before - they were so calm the whole time. The night was over so quick without so much as a hiccup from them. That's also a good description of our whole experience with Jeremy & Jeannine. From start to finish, it did not take much effort from me & my now-wife. I cannot praise them enough. If I could go back and plan for my wedding again, I would not hesitate to choose Jeremy & Jeannine again.

MC Anthony + DJ / Photo Booth / Lighting = PURE MAGIC…read more When we booked this team for an over the top 8th grade dance party, I said (only half-joking): "I'm looking for ultimate bar-mitzvah-level energy -- the kind that gets every kid dancing, laughing, and begging for just one more song." They didn't just meet that vision -- they blew past it. From the moment the music started, the entire space was transformed. The lighting alone turned a basic banquet room into a full-on club -- festive, electric, and instantly exciting. The photo booth added nonstop silliness and memories, and the kids LOVED it. But the real star of the night was MC Anthony. He is not just an MC -- he's a hype man, a game-show host, a magician, and a kid-whisperer all rolled into one. He had games, contests, call-and-response moments, and the kind of inclusive energy that makes every kid feel comfortable jumping in. Everyone was on the dance floor. Laughing. Moving. Taking risks. Living their best middle-school lives. He somehow managed to: * break the ice instantly * keep energy high for the entire event * make shy kids feel confident * and create a vibe where no one wanted to leave the dance floor If you're looking for a DJ team that doesn't just play music, but creates joy, connection, and unforgettable moments, stop searching. MC Anthony and this team are all that -- and then some. I would book them again in a heartbeat.

Great news! You found the best entertainment group for your event. The challenge: whether or not…read moreGatsby will be available given the demand. Our bat mitzvah party was second to none. Over 150+ attendees... and everyone burned over 1,000 calories ripping up the dance floor. We had a terrific plan for the evening... and even when things got a little off track (one of the waitstaff fainted in the kitchen -- fortunately, they were ok)... Adam and the crew were able to course correct realtime. We are already trying to place a hold on a night 3 years out for Gatsby so we can run it back with our younger daughter! Mazel!! :)
