    Easy to work with and Intuitive DJ

    Jay was so awesome to work with for our wedding. We gave him a list of our requests and he was able to fill in gaps with songs that totally fit us. We had to make a change last minute due to a timing issue with the bridal march song and he offered the perfect solution. He was quick to reply to our emails and we easily handled our prep with a few Zoom meetings.

    He befriended our 96 year old grandma during the wedding and brought her up to spin a song. It was one of the highlights of the day!

    We would definitely recommend Jay for any event!

    A++++++ DJ

    Jay and I spoke on the phone for about an hour prior to the wedding just chatting and him getting to know our music taste. He is a real DJ, not just someone playing a playlist! Amazing guy

    Wedding Reception

    Jay was amazing!!! He helped everything run so smoothly and coordinated the events of the nights perfectly! He read the crowd and played exactly what our guests wanted. I wouldn’t have hired anyone else! Thank you Jay!

    Couldn’t ask for more!!

    I’m so thankful we went with Jay for our wedding DJ. He has extensive knowledge of music and people. He took the time to make sure my fiancé and I had everything we wanted in music at the wedding. Jay also set the tone throughout the wedding and kept everyone’s energy up! He was much more than a DJ at our wedding because he went above and beyond to make sure we were having the best time we possible could. I’ll be booking Jay for any event that I need a DJ for! Thank you, again, Jay!!

    This guy is an expert

    I’ve been hired as a photographer for some weddings and as someone who’s had experience with weddings, DJ Jay is excellent. He was the DJ for my wedding on 9/20/2020 and was very good at keeping the dancing alive. During the dance party, If a song didn’t seem to hit, he moved on to the next. During the ceremony, everything seemed to transition smoothly and there was even a good bit of wind that he was able to manage without a hitch. All that said, he is also a very nice guy and is easy to talk to and discuss things with. 5/5, 10/10, golden stars for him. He’s great, you should hire him if you’re in the Temecula/San Diego area.

    Perfection

    Jay was the perfect DJ. He went above and beyond to make sure our night went smoothly and that we were happy. If I ever need a DJ again it’s him for sure.

    Amazing, highly recommend!

    Jay was simply the best! He read the crowd so well and there were people on the dance floor all night. I had some last minute requests that he implemented and they were flawless. He played the best music and was great on the microphone. It is so important to have an amazing DJ at your wedding and he was the best! He was checking in with us throughout the night and running things by us as well as keeping us in the loop with everything he was doing. I can’t recommend him enough. He’s also such a nice man (and funny too). He heard in the ceremony that I was a Friends TV show fanatic and even played the theme song at the wedding without me asking! He is so great at reading a crowd and mixing music. He played the perfect combination of the music my husband and I loved while making it the best night ever. I know the night wouldn’t have gone as perfect as it did without him! Don’t go with anyone else. He’s the BEST!

    Simply put, The best!

    Jay is not just an amazing and skilled DJ, but all around a great person. Our first meet with Jay was so comfortable. Within minutes we knew we were going to be choosing him for our big night. We were able to email, call, or even text him at any time knowing he would answer quickly.
    On the day of our wedding, Jay talked is through the events we had already planned and discussed, he checked in with us every so often to make sure we were prepared for the next thing, and he even came over to our table during dinner to make sure we had everything we needed (which was beyond the normal duties of a DJ). He even grabbed BBQ sauce for my wife without any hesitation.
    Without a doubt, Jay made the whole experience perfect. Thank you so much!!!

    Jay is Awesome!

    Jay is awesome... He was the DJ for our wedding and was outstanding. We honestly didn't give him much to work on in terms of what we like for music (since we like just about everything). But WOW he made it work. We had multiple compliments from guests saying how great the music is. There wasn't a minute that people were not on the dance floor. Thank you for making our day so great Jay!!

    From the very beginning Jay was extremely accommodating. He set up a meeting with me 6 months in advanced and made me feel like everything was taken care of through out the whole experience. He is unlike others in that he genuinely cares for the quality of his service and his clients' happiness. Jay tapped into the heartbeat of our wedding and our guests could not get enough of him. Thank you, Jay, for creating an experience that we will never, ever forget.

    Jay was great, was quick to answer any questions we had during the planing process. The website he has for creating the song list had a large selection, and if anything wasn't there you can request it. We had him mix hits from today with Afghan Style music and it sounded great, he did a really good job pleasing everyone in the crowd. Our guests danced all night and no cheesy, outplayed, "traditional" wedding songs were played, which is exactly what we requested. I would recommend Jay to any family and friends, especially if they want to mix different cultural music like we did. Thank you Jay!

    Jay is hands down the best DJ out there!!! He definitely made our wedding one to remember and also made the entire planning experience a breeze. People are still messaging me days after saying they can't get over how epic the dance party was!! Even the cocktail songs and dinner songs were beyond perfect. He created a vibe that got everyone comfortable and ready for fun!! He is incredibly talented with his ability to get the crowed on their feet dancing, while introducing those emotional songs without skipping a beat. Can't thank Brannan Entertainment enough for the outstanding memories, and sore feet ;) Our go to DJ for everything here on out!

    Jay KILLED at our wedding - he is undoubtedly what guests were talking about most, and everyone raved how great the reception music was. We had a blended Iraqi-American wedding and had limited choices due to venue restrictions - so my husband was nervous to not get an Arab DJ, but I knew right away Jay would handle it. He was super patient with us, met up with us several times, and even made us a few sample transition tracks blending Iraqi and American songs... then my husband relaxed because he realized we were in good hands. We also just learned from our coordinator that Jay had spent a ton of time researching, even going as far as having some Arabic lyrics translated so he could keep on "'theme" between the songs which really impressed us. He kept everyone dancing the whole night - Arabs, Americans and even my grandma! - but Iraqis were especially impressed since they have been to so many other weddings with poorly done Arabic music. But Jay had told us "I just know the BEAT" and that's true - I would trust him with any kind of music or event and feel confident he'd get it just right. Plus as an MC Jay is such a pro - I liked how he checked in with me throughout the night to adjust the timeline (e.g. giving us more time at the photobooth before kicking off the traditional festivities) and was flexible with our wishes (I didn't want too much "fanfare" and he kept all the announcements toned down but still enthusiastic). He takes his job extremely seriously, which comes through in his work - the mics, the lighting, and the general atmosphere (I did not stress about him at all, I knew he would be there early, stay late, and wouldn't even take breaks!) Everything was perfectly timed and done just the way we wanted it, from pre-ceremony to the last song. I can't recommend him highly enough!

    Jay was amazing! I had reached out to a few other DJs before and after meeting with Jay I knew he was the one for us. It was a perfect match and we knew he would be the best fit for our wedding. He was always checking in with me to make sure everything was up to my liking and he never missed a beat. We didn't want the night to end! People were having so much fun and he definitely knows how to feel the audience. If they want hip hop he will keep that going and the same if your group is more into jazz or country or whatever, he knows how to keep the party going and everyone having a good time. The DJ can make or break your event and Jay is by far the best! 100% recommend to others :)

    Jay is the wedding DJ of your dreams! He loves what he does, sees entertaining your guests as a challenge and always puts the bride and groom first. That being said, every guest I had (and we had a diverse crowd) LOVED the music. He kept them out on the dance floor all night! He controls the pace at the wedding and goes above and beyond to make sure you're happy in that moment. Before my wedding, I didn't realize how much time you end up spending with your vendors at the wedding but they really are the people who make it successful so you should definitely hire people like Jay. My wedding rained out and he moved mountains (and speakers) to make me happy with the changes, and reminded me of my vision in spite of the rain (which ended up including our first dance as a couple happening in the courtyard in the rain because that's the space I had envisioned). He encouraged me to go after what I wanted and those memories will last a lifetime. If I could give Jay 10 stars I would.

    We recently used Jay for our wedding. From beginning to the end, he was completely professional and always responsive. We loved that he was far more organized than many other djs we considered. He has a huge musical selection, and was very focused on creating a musical experience centered around our tastes and personality. The day of he kept the party going and read the crowd well. Everyone had an absolutely amazing time dancing. He even threw in one last song as background music that was perfect for our crowd. Can't recommend him more!

    Stop looking now -- Jay is your guy. His passion for music and his CREATIVITY is outstanding, and he was very flexible and able to roll with the punches as plans changed and new things came up. During the wedding, he does an incredible job of keeping things on the timeline and being an incredible help in every regard.

    Honestly, there wasn't a single thing I could say that Jay could do better as our DJ. And he's an outstanding guy -- super funny and very easy to chat with. You'll love talking music with him.

    I'll happily recommend him to all my family and friends. He's incredible.

    Excellent DJ!!!! Great person and perfect personality for our wedding day. Jay really takes the time to get to know you, your style, and exactly what you want for your day. He really customizes your request to make it unique and make sure the music represents you and your day. During the event he was amazing!!! He was constantly interacting to see what we wanted and to take "head nods" or "looks" when we were ready for the next song. He was truly invested in ensuring our guests had a great time!!! He provided a lot of really good suggestions and walked along side through the entire process. He was the best investment for our wedding. He truly was amazing and cared about what was important to us..... Which was having a great time celebrating our special day with our family and friends. We would highly recommend him for any event. Our friends and family continue to rave about how amazing our dj was and we know they would use him for future events. A dj can make or break an event..... Jay will make your day amazing!! Thanks for everything Jay!! --Jess and Kelly

    Jay was amazing. He made the evening run as smooth as possible so we did not have to worry about anything except having a good time. He's very positive and energetic, which sets a great vibe at the wedding. We could tell he was very experienced. He was able to answer all our questions and had lots of fun ideas. He was really able to put us at ease on all things we were stressing about. I would highly recommend him. We could tell he was really focused on making our night special for us. We are forever thankful and grateful to him because we had an absolute blast at our wedding and he was a huge part of it.
