    Jack is the best!

    While wedding planning is stressful, Jack absolutely made the process much easier and set my mind at ease prior to the big day. I had no idea where to start with a day-of timeline, and he was very helpful and accommodating while navigating exactly how we wanted our perfect day to flow! Not to mention, the online planning portal made it a breeze to be able to add/edit/delete anything when I changed my mind 100 times. Everything went perfectly and I can’t say enough great things about how professional and kind he was!

    Everyone Loved Jack

    Highly recommend working with Jack!! We got a lot of compliments about him from guests and other vendors who were at the wedding - he really did keep people dancing all night. We also loved how thorough the planning meeting we had with him as well as the online portal where we could plug in all of our info, special songs and playlist recommendations. It helped keep us super organized!

    Also DJ My Sister's Wedding Years Ago...Still Great!

    Jack did an AMAZING job at our wedding. He is professional and incredibly helpful. His vast
    knowledge of the music industry and his outgoing personality was exactly what we were looking
    for. Jack listened to what we wanted and came up with an incredible playlist for the evening. His
    charisma and passion for what he does is so undoubtedly noticeable. We had so many
    compliments from guest about Jack; I would recommend him to everyone. There is nobody
    better!

    Absolutely wonderful

    When planning a wedding we wanted to make sure the person we discussed our plans with was the same one we had with us on our wedding day and that is exactly what we got! Responsive, proactive, and kept the party going! Our friends had an awesome time and DJ J Helbig made our first dance extra special by inserting part of our vows into the music. Whole-heartedly recommend!

    Jack IS the man!

    We had a lot of anxiety about planning our own wedding in October 2022, particularly finding a DJ who would be able to keep the party going (it was a Sunday wedding!) in addition to staying organized and delivering on our vision for the ceremony/reception. After attending another wedding earlier in the year where Jack was the DJ, we immediately requested his information from the bride and reached out. Jack met with us twice in the several months leading up to the wedding. First, we met after reaching out to go over our expectations and to explore his website where we could add music and other details to customize the ceremony/reception. We then met roughly two weeks before the wedding in October where Jack went over all of the little details that had been stressing us out (i.e. schedule, name pronunciations, special dance songs, ceremony entrance/exit songs, reception introductions, etc.). Jack was extremely accessible, patient, and understanding and was committed to making sure everything went as we had imagined. Finally, the big day came and Jack delivered in a huge way. He arrived at the venue and sought out the venue staff and our minister to confirm logistics and ensure that the schedule was kept as closely as possible (given the expected wedding day chaos). In addition to providing the music for the ceremony/reception, he helped organize our wedding party, made introductions to the reception, and MC'd for all the toasts/speeches, special dances, and cake cutting. Through his website and through conversations leading up to the wedding, the music was perfectly catered to us and our friends and family. It was a Sunday wedding and Jack had our guests on the dance floor right up until the very end. He then helped coordinate our exit from the venue. In the weeks following the wedding, we received several compliments from friends and family who had a blast and were blown away with how much dancing there was on a Sunday. Everyone raved about Jack's ability to keep folks on the dance floor, while we raved about Jack's ability to keep us on schedule, stop us from worrying over the minute details, and allow us to simply enjoy the moment. That's all to say that we have nothing but great things to say about Jack and highly recommend him. If you are looking for a DJ that can keep the party going AND allow you to step back, take a breath, and enjoy the moment, Jack is the man for the job.

    Amazing Experience with Professional DJ

    We couldn't have been happier about having Jack as our wedding DJ. He was extremely professional and handled everything smoothly at the reception. He is very accommodating and went over every detail during our final consultation to make sure we had nothing to worry about when our big day arrived. Our dancefloor was packed the entire night and it's all thanks to Jack. He even surprised us with fun light-up glow sticks for our guests! Afterwards, we had multiple friends and family members comment on how impressed they were with our DJ! Can't thank Jack enough, and would recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ to make their event one to remember!!!

    Exactly who we were looking for!

    Thank you to Jack. We were so worried our day would turn out boring but Jack made it amazing! He was very professional, on time, and just great with handling anything thrown at him! The music was great and everyone wanted a part 3 to our wedding. if it wasn't the great music and mc'ing he did, we're not sure how our day would have turned out. Also we were married January and had to reschedule because of Covid. He gave us no issue and was able to reschedule immediately to another date. He didn't make anything hard on us. Thank you so much for making our day great and will definitely be recommending you to everyone we know.

    Wedding DJ Review

    The J Helbig No Cheese Boutique DJ was outstanding from beginning to end. When he says "no cheese" he certainly means it and we appreciate it. He made the entire planning process very easy for us. We appreciated all of his input and advice. He is very thorough and knows exactly how to read a wedding. Our guests enjoyed every second of our wedding reception and we had an absolute blast. We couldn't get people off of the dance floor. We were able to give him a general idea about what we wanted but he was able to fill in the blanks and made it very special. He kept to the natural flow of the wedding reception and his experience shines throughout the night. We are so happy that we chose J Helbig and he is HIGHLY recommended. Definitely did an amazing job and would hire again without reservations.

    The best dj ever!

    Jack is talented, detailed, and so fun to have at your wedding! He made the night! And totally lived up to the "no cheese." He guided us with the timeline and the things we were unsure of. He was relaxed but also didn't let anything slip by! He went with the flow and advised us to do the same and it was PERFECT. He listened to our requests and all of our guests loved him. They danced until 11pm and would have kept on if we could. He had the perfect playlist for our guests! Thank you so much, Jack!

    A Great DJ

    Jack was great to work with. His planning tools and song request website is a great touch. He kept everything running smoothly and made sure everyone had a great time! We loved that he wasn't pushy with the crowd and let everyone have fun how they seemed fit. We also really appreciated his approach to not having tacky/cliche songs. I got so many compliments from our guests about him!

    Can't Recommend Jack Enough!!

    Really good feeling cleaning up your wedding and everyone complimenting how good the DJ was from the night before. Jack was easy to work with, and his online portals made planning the wedding and reception seamless. He brings experience and knowledge to ensure sound quality, and brings professionalism that effortless guided our day along. Could not recommend him enough!

    Match Made in Heaven!

    DJ Jack is HANDS DOWN the best DJ you'll find in the area. My husband and I are really into music, and after searching around for a DJ that would make us and all of our guests party all night long, we found Jack -- it was a match made in heaven! A wedding was a month ago, but our guests still talk about how phenomenal the music! 90s throwbacks, Cardi B, Roddy Rich, and more, our guests were stunned at how Jack felt the vibe and adjusted. It was a full dance floor the entire night, and that's exactly what we wanted. He was a wonderful MC, and was so kind and knowledgable in our planning meetings. We couldn't be happier with our experience with him, and we're sure you will too!

    Jack was a fantastic DJ who truly personalized the experience at our wedding. He had everyone engaged throughout the event, and he was extremely professional through the entire process! I would recommend him to anyone looking for a professional, engaging, and awesome dj for their event!

    Albanian-Ukrainian Wedding - Great DJ

    Jack was so great to work with and helped us have our dream wedding. We were really nervous about finding the right DJ because we were having an Albanian-Ukrainian wedding. Jack was able to play almost all of the songs we wanted. He also helped the reception run smoothly. Fantastic DJ!

    Above & Beyond and amazing

    Jack was amazing for our wedding, and I would recommend him to anyone who needs a DJ for a wedding or any other event. In the leadup we had multiple video conversations with him, and his website for song requests was well put together and a great idea. These are just a couple examples of how Jack goes above and beyond. He also is great on the day as far as handling the process and flow of things. Again, Jack would be a big recommend from us for any occasion.

    Kept the party moving!

    The big three priorities for our wedding were great food, authentic beer, and rocking music. Jack absolutely knocked it out of the park for our wedding reception last weekend! We are big on rock and ska, and let him know that the vast majority of our guest-list was going to dance all night if they had the chance, and they really did. He was able to get a sense of the crowd and adapt a perfect playlist off of music we had suggested, and just kept it going seamlessly throughout the night. Very easy to work with and super responsive to any questions or ideas you may have!

    Jack is an amazing Dj!

    You just can’t go wrong with Jack and his DJ expertise! Jack did an amazing job at our August 8th wedding! From the very first meeting My husband and I felt very comfortable with Jack. My husband and I have very different tastes in music, and Jack was able to meld our music into a very wonderful and cohesive mix of music. Everyone of our guests had an amazing evening of dancing! We had so much fun that we asked Jack to stay longer and he happily accommodated our wishes! We had an outdoor wedding at our home with 65 people in attendance.Everything went off without a hitch.. even when we threw in some unexpected requests, Jack handled it with professional ease!! I wish I could do the wedding all over again, and if I could I would hire Jack back in a second!! Thank you Jack for making our wedding so memorable! Renee and Ed Melberg

    Jack is wonderful

    Jack Djed my brothers wedding a few years ago and we had a blast! I knew when we were looking for vendors that I wanted to hire him. He is very responsive to emails and takes the time to make sure he has all the details he needs to help make your day perfect. I loved the online portal he has for his clients. It makes songs selections super easy and gives you the ability to provide extra details you want.

    J Helbig Cheese-Free DJ+MC's reply:

    It was an absolute blast to entertain your friends and family (and you two) once again; everyone -- just like at your brother's wedding -- were a great time. Thanks for the kind words and for the honor to DJ/MC your wedding, along with the trust you two put in me. All the best! - Jack

    Great DJ that will focus on your needs!

    Great experience with Jack. He pampers to the Bride and Groom and really puts time and effort into your special day! The only thing I wish I would have had partially different was he tends to not play an entire song and only short clips. This is great if you want to hear more songs however, some of the good ones, the ending is the best part so make sure you make that clear in your prior meetings!! Highly recommended!

    J Helbig Cheese-Free DJ+MC's reply:

    Thank you so much for the kind words. I really had a great time with you two and your guests (and the brand new venue was beautifully decorated, too).

    I would also like to thank you for your comments about the "short edits." I started incorporating this based on research and input from couples from other weddings they've been to, along with people getting "bored" with some songs after a few minutes.
    This is why I ask for reviews as this kind of constructive comments are just as valuable to me as the positive remarks.
    Because of this, I have incorporated this questioning into my meetings with my future couples to make their experience -- along with their guests -- even better. Again, thanks for this & the honor to DJ/MC your reception. I wish you two nothing but the best.

    He's Everything You Want in A DJ!

    We could not have chosen a better DJ for our wedding than Jack! Immediately following my sisters wedding where he also was the DJ, I knew I had to have him as the DJ for my wedding as well (forget the fact I wasn’t even engaged)! Fast forward a year, and Jack was the first call I made the day following my engagement to book! He is thorough, professional, pays attention to detail, and personalizes every aspect to the couple! And let’s not forget he is a master at keeping the energy of the party going, making sure the dance floor is always full! He’s everything you’d want in a DJ, and we could not recommend him enough!

    J Helbig Cheese-Free DJ+MC's reply:

    I'm blushing after reading this; thank you Victoria. I'm truly honored you -- along with your friends and family -- have continued to book me/refer me for weddings and other events. That really means a lot. I know I'll be seeing many of you again in the not-so-distant future at other weddings. Everyone is always an absolute great time to DJ/MC for!

    Referred Last Minute due to canceled DJ

    Our original DJ had to cancel the week of our wedding due to Covid. Jack was referred to us with about 48 hours before our wedding and Jack got it all together in that time. The day before, he even reached out to confirm details (music, names, other details). He provided music for our ceremony & reception and is very organized. In the short amount of time, Jack he got it all together, really put me at ease and did a great job! Thanks.

    J Helbig Cheese-Free DJ+MC's reply:

    Thanks so much Alex. It was a really fun time and I'm glad I was able to come together. All the best to the two of you!

    A great DJ!

    We had Jack DJ and MC for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, and he did a great job. His attention to detail was apparent from the our first meeting up through our final meeting. The planning process was aided by a handful of planning forms Jack provided, which not only gave him clarity on what we wanted in terms of itinerary, songs, specific events, etc., but they gave us a better idea of what we needed to account for in planning our day. Our ceremony and reception were at the same venue, but our ceremony was outdoors while our reception was indoors, and Jack had the equipment and the skill to transition between the two seamlessly. At our reception, Jack got the crowd engaged from the moment we entered the room until the end of the night, and kept everyone out on the dance floor moving, which speaks to his experience in the broadcast industry. Throughout the whole event, he kept everything professional, and did everything he could so my wife and I could enjoy the evening without sweating the details. We wold not hesitate to recommend Jack to anyone else looking for a great wedding DJ and MC.
