Spectacular service – highly recommend – 5 stars all the way! Have only the best to say about Jake & A2R Entertainment. We were referred and ended up hiring him for our wedding on 4/22 for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Best choice hands down. Jake made the entire process easy, streamlined, and responded timely with any questions I had through the whole process.

Why would I recommend his service, there are several reasons… He is very professional, punctual, dressed professionally, clear vocals to understand during announcements, has a pre-lite professional booth / sound system, easy to work with, great personality/ respectful, and truly only wants the best day for “you and your partner”. You can see this come through during his discussions, questions he asks to pinpoint direct “wants” you can’t live without during your special day. His knowledge of timelines, suggestions on timelines, music choices, and experience is priceless.

Jake provides a plethora of music choices for you to review in advance, online agreement (e-sign), personal login to client portal which houses all event information, contracts, and very detailed questionnaires (many questions I didn’t even think of yet). What a blessing these questionnaires were! Walks you through your timeline step by step to ensure he has all the details and music selections in advance. Open to new traditions – we had a Slovak Bridal Dance, something he had never done before – however made it his mission to understand all aspics and it was amazing! He helped us select songs for various times throughout the reception including our first dance. This is where his knowledge shines, taking into consideration the genres of music, our personalities, he suggested 2 songs and we fell in love with Endless Love, which we had forgotten about. Right before our reception, he came directly to me to go over introductions and remaining timeline to ensure there were no last-minute changes for the night. Once the party got started from the ceremony it never ended! If people started to leave the dance floor, the song would change, and his mixing capabilities is spectacular! He can read a crowd and keep the party going!! Jake was very interactive in the party from impromptu announcements, dancing and coming out in the center of the dance floor to get involved. Also had a surprise which was absolutely a hit we didn’t know about. The transitions from one event to the next occurred seamlessly.

We all know weddings are expensive. When booking vendors, you want to make sure that you choose the right ones! Hopefully this detailed explanation gives future brides some information to take to heart. Your DJ is the leading person which will make or break your day, choose Jake for a wonderfully planned celebration and no worries/stress! Every guest I have talked to said that our DJ was fabulous. So, I speak not only for me and my husband, but all our guests when I say his services are top notch! I am certain that Jake would provide this type of service for any celebration that he is booked for.

Jake was absolutely amazing and fun to work with! He was both our Dj/ officiant and made our ceremony very personable by getting to know us and sharing our story. After our first meeting we knew he would be a great addition to our big day. He not only provided professional services but he took the time to make sure our day was perfect and just how we wanted it. He did a great job keeping our guest entertained and everyone dancing. We loved every second of it and had lots of compliments through the night about our ceremony and reception . We could not be happier. Thank you again for such a wonderful day!

We met Jake at a coffee shop to talk over the details of our wedding and an hour later we were sure he was the right man for the job. He was attentive to our requests and questions, offering solutions that fit perfectly with our plan. The week before our wedding day, we had a phone conversation to go over details - after which we were completely at ease because we felt he fully understood what we were hoping to accomplish.
On the day of our event Jake was there setting up when we arrived. Our ceremony was several hundred feet away from the venue which was holding the reception. Jake set up a second audio control board strictly for the nuptials. We had our niece sing a song during the ceremony and he had set that up as well. Even taking care to make sure her stool and guitar were ready for her in front of the mic he had set. He timed it all: from procession to exit, perfectly.
Jake took care of the crowd during happy hour. We could hear cheers and laughing from the staging room. He worked in sync with our coordinator through-out the entire reception, checking with us several times to make sure everything was going as we had hoped. He even took moments to talk to our guests about some of the special décor and signage we had created for them. He read the room, playing songs from our list and a few that he added, each one a perfect soundtrack for that moment. If music is at all important to you and your event, Jake is the right choice.
