Hired JD to be our DJ for our wedding ceremony & cocktail party this year May was the best choice I had made. He had many years of experience in this industry. Not just DJ, he offered that he can be emcee, can provide uplighting for the Reception room, Monogram Projection, and Cake Pin Spot Light. His equipment was very good that guests wanted to dance when the music play outdoor. His music made everyone so happy and cheerful. Without his music, the ceremony and the party would not be the same! read more

Dj JD saved my sanity! I was searching for an MC/DJ for my daughte's 18th birthday celebration. I was asking family & friends for recommendations but none were available for the date we had set. Thank goodness Dj JD was availabl. He was attentive to what my daughter wanted re: music choices and entertainmen. The success of our party is partly due to DJ JD. Maraming salamat po! read more

My husband and I just got married yesterday and the reception was taken care of by Shall We Dance Entertainment. JD was a pleasure to work with. He understands and works with what the couple and the guests want. Prior to the event, he makes sure that everything is ready and his responsiveness makes you feel at ease that the event you are planning is in good hands. He definitely made our wedding day special and memorable. read more

JD is phenomenal! Thank you for making my daughter Ashley's Sweet 16 party a great success! All the guests had a GREAT time. I received so many positive feedback on the music. I credit JD on his experience assessing the crowd and maintaining the energy in the room. He kept everyone moving on the dance floor. He even sang a song to the birthday girl. He's ON POINT! I bought different packages from JD besides entertainment - photobooth and giant games. He did a fabulous job on the lighting. The lights accentuated the cake, candy table and balloons. Wish I had bought the full lighting package. Note to self: get the full lighting package and monogram lighting at next event. The giant games Jenga and Tic Tac Toe was a huge hit for the kids off all ages! Same for the photobooth! I highly recommend JD as DJ and entertainer for future events. He's punctual, professional, accommodating, easy to work with, price is reasonable, and more importantly, he keeps the energy alive! THANK YOU!! read more

JD did an amazing job at our wedding this weekend. There had been rain showers randomly happening throughout the day and evening, but he was always flexible enough to change of plans from moving outdoor to indoor to back to outdoor at the very last moment. His pricing was fair and appropriate based on a few other DJ/MCs. He provided all of the necessary equipment (mixers, wireless microphones, 1 speaker setup for our ceremony and a 2nd speaker setup for the reception), plus the setup and breakdown. He also had backup equipment (such as wired microphones) if anything unexpected happened. JD provided us with a detailed breakdown sheet for our wedding which made it very easy to go down the list of different events/transition throughout the wedding and what songs/playlists to us during each time. Even in the cases where we didn't exactly know which songs we wanted to play, he was able to figure out our particular mood that we were trying to set and adjusted the playlists accordingly. He also did an outstanding job of keeping the guests entertained and active throughout the wedding. He worked with us to figure out how the games would play out, what announcements to make and when, and so much more to make our big day a memorable one. I would highly recommend JD read more

We met JD at a party he dj'ed and knew from the gates we wanted to hire him for our wedding. His music was awesome, the way he worked the crowd was amazing and the way he interacted with our special needs daughter was incredible From the moment we called about our wedding he was on it. Jd was so helpful and never pressured us. He truly made our ceremony amazing. He is now our family DJ. JD. THANK YOU SO MUCH. If I could give you 10 stars that still wouldn't be enough. You are the best and I highly recommend you read more

JD is one of the best DJ's in town and made my daughter's 13th birthday a truly memorable event!

My husband and I stole JD from a friend's wedding after we experienced the "best wedding ever"! We were so thoroughly impressed by his talent, and awesome personality that he was the first vendor we booked when we started planning our wedding. The number one thing my husband and I wanted for our wedding, was for all of our guests to have an amazing time. In order to make that happen we knew we needed to have a fantastic DJ that could set the right mood and keep the party going all night long. JD did an amazing job of coordinating with me and my wedding planner to ensure we incorporated all of the elements that we were looking for. He was even able to play an obscure Chinese song for my father/daughter dance. Everyone had a great time and we owe a big portion of that to JD. He is fun, upbeat, well organized and super responsive. And to make the deal even sweeter, he is reasonably priced. I loved my wedding and had such a great time. Thank you JD! read more

JD was definitely the man! He is beyond excellent at what he does and his singing is superb! Me and my Wife got referred to JD from another DJ that recommended him to us. We got to meet JD in person and right away this dude was so approachable and friendly. Me and my Wife couldn't have been more delighted with JD's performance. We were honor to have JD host and MC at our wedding! Many thanks and best wishes!! read more

We are so grateful we met and hired JD! From the first time we sat down for coffee we knew he was the DJ/ MC for us! He asked my wife to tell him the story of how we met while I was away from the table for a few seconds, then he asked me for my version of the story. He asked about our tastes in music and just took the time to get to know us as well so that he could better understand not only our tastes but the kind of experience that we wanted to give our wedding guests on our special day. He is so relaxed and professional the we felt immediately at ease!   During the reception, JD and his team were so fun and energetic. They were able to our mixed culture crowd entertained and excited even though we didn't serve alcohol! Our guests raved at how kept the atmosphere fun, upbeat, but relaxed. We are grateful for the experience he created for our guests. We had friends tell us how much they enjoyed his singing one our Frankie (Frank Sinatra) favorites. We really appreciate him! read more

If you want your event to be the talk of the town for months to come, drop everything and book Jerick aka JD from SWDE now!!! He was a huge part of making my wedding a success and it's not by luck. I've been to 2 other weddings where he worked the crowd and both brides highly recommended him based on his talent, professionalism, and fun & charming personality. Initial meeting: From the very beginning, I liked that JD was extremely proactive on following up on our discussions. On our first meeting, he was very professional--he came prepared with a checklist and took meticulously detailed notes on our vision for our wedding. Furthermore, he put in effort to get a good sense of the dynamic between my fiance and I so he could reflect that during our wedding. During event planning: During the planning process, he was very responsive, scheduled conference calls to make sure we are on the same page, and was transparent on his needs. He also scoped out the location before the wedding to ensure he's 100% set for the day-of. At the event: On our wedding day, he came early and set up on time without a hitch. He worked the crowd using the list of songs we provided as well as some crowd-pleasers of his own. He even got a line dance going at one point. He also did an excellent job hosting the newlywed games, etc. The crowd danced all night and JD concluded the wedding reception with "Don't Stop Believing", to which everyone sang along happily. However, the guests wanted to keep going! They actually boo'ed when they were told the wedding is over. I've actually never been to a wedding where the crowd did not want to leave after the last song. So we had to extend the wedding a little longer. Now, that's a GREAT party. Feedback: Still to this day, people still tell me they never had so much fun at a wedding. Mind you, my wedding had flavorful gourmet food (none of that bland wedding hall food, yuck), gorgeous flowers, and amazing décor, but in the end, all our guests remember is dancing the night away and having a blast! People may forget what they wore, ate, or saw, but NEVER forget how they felt at an event. So if you want an awesome event, which people will forever remember and cherish, JD is your man. So snatch him up as quickly as you can!!! read more

My wife found JD to be the DJ and emcee for her dad's surprise 50th birthday party and we enjoyed him so much that we hired him to do the same for our wedding. Let me just say that he is a real professional. Our guests at both events had such amazing times because he has literally spent decades of his life perfecting the craft of how to get people dancing and laughing. I would highly recommend him and would probably use him for all future events where we need a DJ. read more

More than a DJ We needed a DJ for our wedding. What we got was much, much more. At our consultation, it was great vibes off the bat - funny, upbeat, wonderfully comfortable energy. Going over details and flow of the wedding, we realized JD was not only going to be our DJ, but he was also our Wedding Coordinator. And when he told us he took the liberties of stopping by the venue to scope things out beforehand, we knew we were in the hands of an experienced professional. It's immediately apparent how organized JD is and how much attention he gives to detail - this man really does his homework. He asked us important questions about things we hadn't yet thought about, provided thoughtful, helpful and practical suggestions, but most of all he LISTENED. He cared, and it showed. Planning this stuff is super stressful! JD took on all of that for us. He took so much off our plate as he proactively collaborated with our officiant and venue staff to ensure everyone was on the same page and everything ran smoothly. His experience is evident and he thinks about the things, tiny details, that we would have otherwise missed - he's got it all covered. He works hard for you and is present and available the whole way through. You can rest assured, he's on top of everything and it's really nice to have that peace of mind throughout an otherwise stressful time. JD gave us a night that we'll daydream about for the rest of our lives. Music, flow, lighting, speeches, everything was so spot on and well thought out thanks to him. All the sights and sounds were beyond what we could have imagined. Oh, by the way, the man can SING! He provided us with some entertainment of his own to add a memorable touch and everyone absolutely loved it! We got so many compliments because of JD and owe so much to him for giving us such an unforgettable night. Thank you, JD! read more

JD from SWD Entertainment is absolutely fantastic! He is a member of the Monterey Park Chamber of Commerce and my first experience with him was when he DJed the Chamber's Holiday mixer. He came early, set up, and did not entire gig with no problems whatsoever. This past Friday, he was hired to DJ the Miss Monterey Park Pageant. Wow, what an amazing job he did! We actually only hired him to come on the day of the pageant but he delayed his own birthday dinner to voluntarily come and attend our dress rehearsal. He gathered everyone's music and was extremely organized. He even came and provided a spot light for the stage. All of the speakers were set up and there was no last minute rush whatsoever. The entire program and music progressed very smoothly and I am extremely impressed. Thank you again DJ JD!!! read more

JD was absolutely incredible!! He listened to our needs, made efficient notes, great suggestions and incorporated aspects into our wedding that were individualized. He arrived early, set up quickly and effortlessly. He didn't need direction. He knew exactly what to do and when after our pre wedding meeting. He has a beautiful voice and sang a couple Michael Buble songs. He shut down quickly and effortlessly. We retreated after a long night and trusted that he would take care of everything without our presence. This is a real stand up guy. Awesome DJ !! read more

DJ JD was our DJ/MC for our renewal of vows wedding! During our initial meeting, we've connected right away and he listened to our wants and requests. He got everyone dancing on the dance floor. He also provided uplighting and monogram lighting. Overall, highly recommend his services! read more

The day of the wedding, JD is ON! I loved how he interacts with the guests and gets them excited while playing their favorite tunes. As a wedding planner, it's rare for me to be surprised by a DJ, and JD had some really creative ideas that I haven't seen before. We also loved his photobooth setup and loved that he had a package option for it! read more

JD was an amazing DJ! He played lots of different games with the kids and made their birthday extremely Memorable. He was also constantly changing routine in order to make it more fun for the kids. Our birthday party was outdoors on an extremely hot day and JD incorporated water balloons into the games to help cool the kids down. He was very awesome and my Son and daughter both loved their birthday! I highly recommend their service for kids parties. read more

J.D. was recommended to us by a friend who is a DJ (and was unavailable for our event) and am I ever happy I made that call! He immediately 'got it' that we were doing something a little different for our wedding. Invites were sent for a 50th birthday celebration. In reality, after the cocktail hour, we were exchanging our vows! J.D. and I spoke about the plans for the evening and he offered suggestions on timing of events and reminded me about traditional wedding events I hadn't considered. Then came the song selections for the evening. J.D. took down all of the songs and artists - both likes and dislikes - and built a playlist that rocked the night! He had EVERYONE on the dance floor! Our guests are still raving about how much fun they had. That includes a Sr. VP of a biotech company! On top of the music and keeping the dance floor full, J.D. also managed to transform a standard banquet room with uplighting in just the right shade to compliment the evening and an electronic disco ball for when the dancing got rocking. As the bride, I knew from the moment we walked into the room that J.D. had everything under control and that our night was going to shine beyond our imaginations. With him at the helm, I had the best time of my life in those few hours and know that our guests also had a blast! J.D., thank you for making our party/wedding everything that we wanted it to be. read more

Hiring JD for my mom's 60th Birthday event was a great choice. I posted an ad for an MC needed on Craigslist and received tons of replies, but we're pleased to have choose JD. I wanted to make sure the event went as smoothly as possible and JD was able to do that! He coordinated and communicated with our own DJ, the band and me to ensure that the special day will be as organized as possible. As usual, sometimes events can get a bit off track but JD was able to keep the party going and get people dancing (even at an early daytime party!) I recommend using his service for your next event. He knows how to adjust to the appropriate crowd, communicate very well, and keep the crowd dancing! Thanks JD! read more

I hired J.D. from Shall We Dance Entertainment for his DJ services at my 8 year old daughter's birthday party this past weekend. I had seen J.D. in action before at another party and instantly knew he was a safe bet. Let's just say that the kids are still talking about my daughter's "awesome" birthday party and it was all thanks to J.D! Right from the beginning, J.D. was tight with the communication. He was personable yet professional. He's sharp so he quickly knew what my expectations were. I had complete confidence that he would do a great job. I was right. On the day of the party, he did a quick set-up and got right into it for a good 2 hours straight which is more than enough for kids. The kids were well entertained with music and games, as were the adults. Even the adults are still telling me what a great party it was! J.D. was fun, funny, quick to read the crowd, kept the energy flowing and he even sang my daughter an original birthday song. I gave him a song selection to work with since I wanted my kids to be familiar with the music and he made sure to have all "clean" versions. The kids loved him as did the adults, who by the way, kept asking me where I found this D.J. My friends were impressed by him! I have the greatest respect for people like J.D. who take their jobs seriously and provide outstanding service from start to finish. J.D. is worth every penny and I have no reservations whatsoever about recommending him anyone. Thanks J.D.! read more

We had a destination wedding in Yosemite September 2016. JD came through early and coordinated with the hotel staff for a superb experience. Not only is his sound& light system tight, he really knows how to MC. He even had extra lights on our cake in another room. The dance floor did not slow down! So many things went great for our wedding that friends and family still come and tell us "it was the best wedding they have ever been to", and JD was an integral part of it all. I wish I could give more than 5 stars for SWDE. Thanks man! read more
