Jake is an amazing DJ! As a planner, I understand how a DJ can really make/break a wedding reception more so than food, ambiance, etc. They hold the keys to the party and Jake knows how to ensure a successful reception. Unlike some other DJs, he keeps the newlyweds and guests wants/needs in mind catering the music to ensure the party stays hoppin'! He is unobtrusive, professional, and fun to work with. I look forward to working with Jake for many years to come. |

Jake is a true professional. I have worked with a lot of DJs both in this area as well as other parts of the country and I have not worked with any that can control a party like Jake. When I know Jake is working a wedding here at the Sheraton, I know I will have nothing to worry about. If you are looking for a low-key wedding party or a blow-out bash- Jake is the one to ensure your guests have the most memorable party. |
Describe your
DJ style:
It's up to you! I can be low key, moderate, or be a little more involved. I am well spoken, unobtrusive, and completely organized. |
How many other
DJs do you work with?
Because of my reputation and high standards, I have chosen to fly solo allowing me the ability to focus on each individuals. |
Do you have
replacement DJs in case you become unavailable on the wedding
day?
Yes. I network with many other companies in 5 different states in case of an emergency. |
Do you
specialize in any ethnic and/or international events?
Yes ( I have done Latin, Irish, Indian, Polish, Jewish, Arabic and a variety of mixed weddings). |
Is the bride
able to meet the DJ before booking?
Yes. Beware of companies who will not do this. Also stay away from companies who put you on a "Dj rotation" schedule or who do not guarantee YOUR personal DJ will be the one to show up. |
If you do not
have one of the songs pre-requested by the couple, do you
require that they provide it?
I have 5 music subscriptions, so it's rare I can't find a song. I do except MP3's, WAV, or CD's for any impossible to find selections. |
What is your
usual attire?
I wear a very classy suit, otherwise for black tie weddings I have a tuxedo. |
Do you bring
your own equipment?
Yes. I bring the highly acclaimed BOSE sound systems along with Pioneer, Denon, and other respected professional grade names. |
Do you offer
special equipment into your service?
FREE lighting effects - period. I also have extra equipment available for your ceremony & cocktail hour. |
What is your
minimum amount of time you will DJ for?
Does not matter, however little or much time you need. Usually a ceremony is 1/2 hour to an hour, cocktail is an hour, and a reception is typically 3-4 hours. |
Do you usually
emcee the reception and/or talk between songs?
I am your master of ceremonies and your personal spokesperson. I make it my duty to know everything and every angle of your wedding so I am completely prepared. |
Do you take any
breaks?
No, and this is one of the MANY advantages DJs have over bands. |
Will you
arrange for recorded music to play during your break(s)?
N/A |
Do you require
a meal break? If yes, do you require that the wedding party
provide your meal?
No, but is a nice gesture. You do not have to purchase a meal for me. |
How much time
do you usually need to set up? Do you require that the site
and/or couple provide a table for you to setup on?
I always arrive 2 hours early and I will work with your venue and wedding coordinator beforehand on all and any important details. |
Do you have any
extra space requirements?
No. This is the great thing about the new innovative BOSE system that I carry. Little space, great look, & superb sound. |
What is your
overtime rate?
$100 per hour (and you won't see me rushing to leave or packing up early) |
Do you charge
for travel expenses?
Only if it's over 100 miles. Hey, I go anywhere in the world! |
