    2/24/24 Wedding- Sandpiper Bay Resort, FL

    Jon was our officiant and DJ. He was awesome! We basically planned the whole thing over the phone, since we were from out of state. Jon was very easy to work with and had everything down and ready for our day. He answered all our many questions and made sure he had all we wanted. He sent us videos of the ceremony and reception/dance afterward! He also sent in our marriage certificate for us! 10/10 would recommend!

    Best DJ Ever

    The best DJ ever! He was so thorough when we went over our initial call and final call before the ceremony. We wanted a specific set of songs and he stuck to it but is flexible and will do whatever you prefer. It’s not even been 12 hours and he has uploaded all his complimentary videos and guestbook video to YouTube. He was exceptional and you won’t be disappointed. Amazing amazing amazing! I wish I could tell more people how great he is!!

    DJ, officiant and photographer

    Jon and his wife are excellent!! Jon officiated our wedding and was our DJ. He was very responsive and respectful of our wedding plans. He played music we requested and even kept the party going with some karaoke which my family really enjoyed! His wife was our photographer and she took some amazing pictures for us! Jon even took some videos of our special day which was a wonderful bonus! The price was awesome and fit our budget perfectly! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Thank you Jon and Annlexys, you outdid yourselves! I highly recommend Once Upon a Wedding!!

    10 out of 10 Experience!!

    Jon was absolutely amazing from beginning to end! He was a pleasure to work with throughout the whole process. Whenever we had any questions he was there to answer them and provide his advice. Since Jon has been in the industry for many years, he is incredibly knowledgeable about all the in’s and out’s of not only DJ’ing a wedding but also planning one. We chose to make our own playlist for the night of and Jon was amazing at working all our needs in so that everything flowed beautifully. He was attentive throughout the whole night and made sure to check with us on how things were going, any questions, etc. The videos he takes throughout the night are a great bonus and such a special memory! Do not hesitate at all to reach out to Jon if you are planning a big event. You will not regret it!!

    Absolutely Outstanding!!

    Jon did an absolutely amazing job at my daughter’s wedding! We hired him to officiate, and he knocked it out of the park! My husband was a minister for 30+ years and knows a good speaker when he hears one, and he agrees that Jon did a super fantastic job! It was one of the best, if not the best wedding ceremony that we’ve ever heard. Jon is professional, punctual, detail oriented, very helpful, communicative, and has such a warm friendly demeanor! It felt like he was part of the family, he helped to make the day a wonderful and magical experience! His assistance and support leading up to the special day was also very helpful, and he even helped afterwards with getting the license taken care of. He goes above and beyond, and I can’t say enough good things, I highly recommend him!

    Wedding DJ/ officiant

    John was absolutely amazing for our wedding on July 13th. So grateful that we were able to find him for our special day! He doubled as our officiant as well as our DJ and I couldn’t have asked for any better! Very nice and made sure our evening went perfect and kept our guest dancing until they closed us down at the venue! 10 out of 10 recommend him! 😊😊

    Amazing DJ experience

    Once Upon A Wedding was an excellent choice for a DJ. He offered so many other services as well. He had a very reasonable price but offered just as much as any other DJ's that were double his price. He was so friendly and easy to work with. He did everything just as we liked but also had his own suggestions if you needed help. He went above and beyond to take pictures and videos of our ceremony/reception even though we had not paid him for that. I highly recommend Once Upon A Wedding for you wedding needs/services.

    Phenomenal experience!!

    I was planning my wedding and was struggling to find a DJ that would fit my budget until I found Jon from Once Upon A Wedding. We had our wedding this past weekend and Jon was there on time, was kind, polite and very accommodating! He set all his equipment up so fast and was ready to go well before guests were arriving. I gave him minimal guidance in the music selection but with only a few questions he nailed it! He played such an active role in the entire night filming some videos that are now precious memories. It was a pleasure working with him, and if you’re wondering if you should book him- trust me and do it!!!

    Amazing dj and so professional

    Once upon a wedding made my dream wedding a reality. Jon is so responsive, caring and patient. He was such a pleasure to work with even with all the stresses of wedding planning. My wedding day went smoothly with no hiccups because of him. He truly knows his stuff. Highly highly recommend him to any special events you have coming up.

    Perfect Wedding Day

    I would recommend Once Upon a Wedding time and time again! We did DJ, photography, and day of coordination, and we made the right decision going with them! Jon is fantastic and made sure that our wedding day was perfect! We got to have multiple phone conferences with him, and every time we were got off the phone with him, all of the weight on our shoulders felt like it had been lifted off! Jon, we can't thank you enough for making our day everything we wanted and more!

    Professional with all the extras


    We are so grateful we found Jon for my son and daughter in law’s wedding. Jon is extremely professional, kind, patient and organized. Jon, who is bilingual, was the the wedding officiant performing a beautiful ceremony in both languages. He set up a video capturing the entire ceremony and provided all of the music during their garden wedding. A lot of attention to detail, guidance, list of many traditional and unique reception ideas, timeline, prompt response to phone calls and in person meeting was provided, as well as accommodating last moment special requests with ease. Jon also provided DJ services with lighting effects and engaging music to get the celebration started from the bridal party announcements, bridal party dances, meal blessing, couple’s game that everyone enjoyed, having guests sing along, a special video recording capturing wishes to the bride and groom, toast, speeches, dedications, and more. There was not a dull moment of happy tears, laughter and a blast. The night was most fun and memorable. Many guests said, “this was the best wedding reception they ever attended.” Jon also captured many videos of the highlights of the night. I would highly recommend using Jon for any event and would hire him again for any future needs. He made the most special day of their lives perfect and easy.

    Best dj ever!

    Jon is exceptional!
    The DJ for a wedding is actually a super important piece that can make or break your celebration....we scored finding Jon. He has great energy, attitude, bang for your buck and so much more. Our reception was a BLAST....because of him! Highly recommended if you want to have an amazing reception and it's just a bonus that you won't be ripped off. So many DJs out there charge so much and them charge for all the little bells and whistles....well not this guy. Extremely worth every penny and honestly worth way more. Thank you so much for everything you did for us Jon! Loved the bonus videos too!!!
