A Fantastic Review for DJ Amani Jae

Amani Jae was incredible at our wedding! He had the perfect mix of songs to keep the dance floor packed all night long. His energy, professionalism, and ability to read the crowd made the celebration unforgettable. From the moment the music started, everyone was having the time of their lives.

Amani Jae went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, and his transitions were seamless. He truly made our wedding day so special, and we can’t thank him enough. If you want a DJ who will bring the party to life, Amani Jae is the one! Highly recommend!

Exceptional in every way!

We hired James to do our daughter’s bat mitzvah on April 27, 2024. We could not have been more thrilled! This party was beyond epic. We have been to countless mitzvahs and none were as high energy, entertaining and fun as ours. James and his crew were incredible. The dancers were awesome. He reads the room effortlessly and creates the best energy. We also had a great experience working with him on planning ahead of time. I was an anxious mama and he was always responsive and calm with all my anxiety questions leading up to the event even when I was probably driving him crazy, he’s just a great person to be around. And he made our party truly spectacular!

Incredible!

James is so talented! We booked James to DJ our wedding this April & we are just completely blown away. From our initial planning process he was thorough, checked in with us, the fastest communication, and so professional. He was full of surprises, exceeded all expectations, and made us feel so special. Not to mention, it was SO fun! Finding a DJ can be hard, but not with Amani Jae Entertainment. Our guests haven’t stopped talking about him, and neither can we. We are forever grateful and can’t thank him enough! James is just….incredible.

Energetic DJ

Amani Jae Entertainment, James, did an outstanding job keeping our dance floor lively and energetic throughout our entire event! James not only accommodated all our requests but also skillfully adjusted the music to match the vibe of each moment flawlessly. His charismatic and engaging personality set a fantastic tone for the evening, instantly connecting with our guests and fostering an atmosphere of pure joy and excitement. James' smooth transitions between songs and ability to gauge the crowd ensured that the dance floor remained packed all night long. Thank you, James, for contributing to an unforgettable celebration!

Best dj!

Amani did a phenomenal job as our DJ at our wedding. We could not have asked for better! He definitely kept the party going, playing the best music. He was an absolute hit with our guests! Amani was absolutely amazing to work with, he made us feel completely confident and at ease throughout the entire process which is all a Bride can ask for while planning a wedding. Picking our DJ was one of the most important vendors we chose for our wedding so we made sure we picked a great one and Amani did not disappoint whatsoever! We are so happy Amani was our DJ, he truly made our dreams come true! So grateful we chose him! 10 out of 10 would recommend Amani Jae Entertainment!

An absolute vibe!!!

I have nothing but amazing things to say about Amani Jae Entertainment! James was so helpful throughout the entire planning process. We had a vision of how we wanted the vibe of the wedding to be and he listened to us and made it even better. He had such a great energy and got every single person on the dance floor dancing and having a great time. Never once did he let the vibe die down! He is extremely good at reading the crowd and will keep the party going till the end!

The Best DJ!

James was our DJ for our wedding in April and he exceeded our expectations (which were already high from what we had seen in previous reviews and instagram videos). He was responsive throughout the process leading up to the wedding and very organized. At our wedding, he kept things running smoothly with the timeline while adapting to any potential changes along the way, etc. Most importantly, he kept the party going and we had the best day ever, definitely in part to him! My sister even booked him for her wedding so we got to party with James again! After our wedding, we had a lot of people tell us that they really enjoyed our DJ and had so much fun dancing at the reception. We highly recommend Amani Jae for DJing any event!

Too much fun!!

Working with AJE was so easy! We appreciated having a video call with him to give an overall feel of what we were hoping for. We had DJ Gio as our bilingual DJ and he was so much fun! He was able to feel out if the song wasn’t a good “fit” and immediately changed it up if needed. Our families LOVE to dance and the dance floor was never empty! Nothing but smiles and sore legs out on that dance floor. I always say I wish I could re-live our wedding day since it was so much fun.

Best dj ever

Hiring Amani Jae was easily the best decision we made! Since our wedding, we have received endless compliments about how our DJ was able to keep people on the dance floor all night long! The questionnaire that we filled out before the wedding was detailed and made sure we were going to hear all of the songs we wanted to hear (and none of the songs we didn't want to hear). Every single song was a hit. I didn't want to leave the dance floor the entire night! My husband and I will forever recommend Amani and his team!

Professional and fun DJ

Picking a DJ is hard. If you're on the fence, look no further! Amani was so awesome at our wedding! He played songs that had everyone out on the dance floor all night long. He perfectly blended the songs we requested with other songs to create the exact atmosphere we were hoping for during different segments of our wedding and reception. However, he did so much more than just DJing. He was super helpful before our wedding with song selections and ideas, was very responsive to our communications, showed up when he was supposed to, dressed appropriately, and was so nice to us, our families, and our guests. He is professional, reliable, kind, and FUN! I would recommend him to anyone!
