TLDR version: 11/10 wedding experience with Jack as DJ/MC. He will take care of and work with you. I'm sure he'd do just as awesome for other events (birthdays etc...) Will be referring him to our friends/family getting married.
In-depth review: My fiancée (now wife) and I met Jack when he was DJing/Emceeing several of our friends' weddings the past two years. Granted, I was drunk by the time he was playing music but I remember having lots of fun and commenting on how I enjoyed the music as well as his emceeing skills.
From our friends' recommendations and experience as a wedding guest, we decided to have Jack MC/DJ our wedding.
Pre-wedding: Jack has a robust list of song recommendations that went well for different parts of a wedding, suitable for all backgrounds/music tastes. If we didn't have a song in mind (processional, recessional, first dance, mother-son dance, etc...), we referred to his list. He has great attention to detail and you can tell he is well-versed and can point out things you'd never even think of. For example, he made sure he pronounced our families' names correctly.
He took his time to explain what are typical things to expect and for us to consider as a couple. He was also very flexible in helping us find specific songs that we wanted for certain parts of the wedding. He's super patient/understanding when we couldn't decide on some songs for key moments until 2 weeks before the wedding!
Jack did his due diligence and went to the venue that he's never been at beforehand to double check the area and reached out to communicate with the venue so things would go smoothly. This is of course, expected, but so many things can go wrong at a wedding (from hardware issues to logistics) and we just felt in good hands as he communicated with us as necessary.
During wedding: As expected, he was a great MC. Everything was well-timed and music changes were on point from walking down the aisle to the dance floor. He was great at hyping up our bridal/groom party and us for our grand entrance. It felt like a coach firing up his players for the championship game. He's also great at doing games. We did the shoe game and it was a perfect mixture of easy, hilarious, and heart-warming questions that he had ready. After dinner, people went over to the dance floor and the energy was immaculate.
Tips for engaged couples:
-Reach out to Jack early once you confirm the venue date! Our wedding was November 1, 2025 and we finalized everything with him in February 2025. Earlier is better.
-If you're not sure what songs you want to play for certain moments, be vocal about it and he'll be happy to give you recommendations!
-Make a list of unique activities/announcements you want Jack to make for your guests! There were one or two things we totally forgot to ask Jack to announce even when he double checked with us (for example, letting guests be aware they can record a video message with an Insta360 Cam we had during cocktail hour/reception). To no fault of his, we got overwhelmed with planning, so we overlooked considering that. If you have unique activities/things planned for your guests that are outside of typical wedding announcements (shout-out to families, cake cutting, etc...), then it'll help him and your guests very much.
-If your guests are the rowdy type and you want them seated during key moments like games, first dance, etc..., you can ask Jack to announce that the bar will temporarily be closed. He'd be happy to do that or work with your coordinator to do so.
-Make sure you have a consistent timeline of events between your planner, day-of-coordinator, and Jack. This is non-negotiable. We tripled checked to make sure everything was correct and it was a beautiful wedding. read more
