Bottom line up front: You won't find a better wedding DJ/MC in the southeast than Jake (Darryl)
Planning:
Affair 2 Remember (A2R) has an online form linked with a seemingly limitless database of music that you can directly link to portions of your ceremony. Jake walks through every single segment with you (and/or your coordinator) to ensure the music, cues, announcements, names, speeches, etc. are accurate, timed correctly and optimized (if you need length editing). Jake took the time to ensure he understood the intended ambiance we wanted to set and showed genuine interest in our story.
Event presence (DJ):
Jake's experience allows him to smartly set or adjust the mood based on the wedding timeline. We provided audio for our precession and ceremony, but trusted him to select music based on discussions we had about our friends/family for the entirety of our reception/dance. Jake was also keenly aware of our cues (we had 4) during our ceremony, to which each track was played exactly on time and at the correct volume. Jake's selections were tasteful and well-received by everyone in attendance; the music was at a comfortable volume, his setup was professional and approachable, and he was able to service every request based on our guidelines (radio edits for explicit) - a testament to his preparedness. Jake was able to hype the audience up so well that even our 96 year old grandparents found the strength to dance.
Event Presence (MC):
Jake offers his services as a master of ceremonies, which I highly recommend. Jake read our story, bridal party introductions, introduced our first dances, and so much more. He speaks comfortably in large crowds, provides an immense amount of humor, and is punctual. Jake offered to host fun micro-events during appropriate breaks, which we also highly recommend (I won't spoil them for anyone else, but our families still talk about them). I will also mention that if the crowd has forgotten how to do the cupid shuffle Jake is also a terrific dance instructor in a pinch.
Jake brought backup lapel microphones as well as a microphone stand for our chaplain and ensured all audio equipment was functioning correctly prior to guest arrival. He also provided individual wireless microphones for our toasts and announcements. He was flexible and facilitating, ensuring that if we needed absolutely anything from him he would be available - it was clear that our wedding was as important to Jake as it was to us.
Additional:
Jake is a true rockstar - he truly cares and plans for wedding success. If it weren't enough that he facilitates absolute success, he also retains the ability to officiate in emergencies. He is an amazing DJ, an amazing MC, and an amazing person.

Exceeded our expectations
Jake gave us a WOW wedding from start to finish. He orchestrated a beautiful ceremony and wedding that left our guests saying ours was the funnest wedding they attended in a long time.
I recently photographed a wedding that Jake from Affair 2 Remember DJ'd. He hit just the right tone throughout the evening. It was a very classy, mid-size wedding without much pomp. Jake made sure all the evening's moments ran smoothly, and he kept the dance floor hopping the whole night organically, letting the music do most of the talking for him.
Though it may seem strange for one entertainment company to endorse another...I could not let this opportunity pass by. I, along with the rest of my staff here at Steve Moody's Entertainment Connection, can't say enough about Jake and Affair 2 Remember DJs.
I think that something that is often overlooked when hiring a dj... is that over all else "you are hiring a person". A real live person. That person should not just be able to "play music" but also have a company that puts the clients needs first. They should be able to communicate well with the client both before and during the actual reception. They should sound great on the microphone, and have the organizational skills to keep the wedding activities on track and moving forward. Jake excels in all of these areas.
I would hope that you would take the time to read his reviews from previous clients and see how much his talents have been appreciated over the years. In addition to his clients, Jake is also well respected by his peers within the Mobile Disc Jockey Industry (from across the country). He is an individual that constantly gives back to our community by helping other dj grow their business and enhance their presentations. You can't go wrong with Affair 2 Remember! -Steve Moody -Owner Steve Moody's Entertainment Connection - DJ Times Magazine's 2009 International DJ Of The Year
