Highly recommend!!

Could not recommend Jess more. She was easy to work with, responsive, and incredibly detailed oriented throughout the entire planning process. She spent a lot of time getting to know us and really delivered on the atmosphere we were hoping to create at our wedding. We had countless guests come to us both during and after the wedding to say how much they enjoyed her!!

Jess is a DREAM to work with!

Jess was a DREAM to work with! She brought the vibes, the magic, and the party to our wedding day and throughout the entire process. Our guests cannot stop raving about how she was the best DJ they’ve ever experienced and our dance floor was PACKED all night. If you’re a couple that lives for music and it’s an important part of your day, Jess is for you!! Trust her and she’ll bring your vision to life.

Exactly the DJ we hoped for

We booked Jess for our November 2025 wedding and she was everything we hoped for. One of the first vendors I booked was the DJ because I always care a lot about the music at events since it sets the tone for the entire night. Jess had everyone at our wedding out dancing, even people who never dance! She blended all kinds of genres in a really cool and unexpected way and was able to read the room expertly and switch the songs up based on the guests’ reactions. You will not regret booking her!!

the best DJ

DJ Jess truly exceeded every expectation we had and MORE. From the meetings to prepare for our wedding and the communication / small gestures in between, she truly made our day incredible. She was prepared and takes pride in her art and it showed! People are still talking about our wedding and how great she was. I would recommend Jess to anyone who wants to have an amazing night filled with music, love, and laughs.

DJ Jess 2025 July Wedding

DEFINITELY BOOK WITH JESS!! We recently booked Jess for our 2025 July wedding and we are so happy that we did! Her positivity and energy radiates through the room. Her planning and communication throughout the process makes you feel like she genuinely cares about your event and wants it to be incredible. This is a DJ that will personally curate your event by taking all of your wants and needs into consideration and using her own experience to ensure that its absolutely perfect. After one conversation, you'll feel like you've known her your whole life. From the moment guests arrived to the moment it was time for everyone to leave, both the music and MC'ing by Jess set the tone and made for the perfect experience. Her set had a wide range of genres and literally kept the dance floor packed from beginning to end. You can't match energy like Jess's. I would, without a doubt, book her again for any event that I want to be as memorable as our wedding!!

DJ Jess is #1 in the burgh!!

DJ Jess is the absolute best in the biz in Pittsburgh. People started approaching me mid-wedding to tell me how amazing our DJ was. We were so picky about all of our vendors, and it really paid off. Jess is seriously amazing - I would recommend her to anyone.

Dj jess for a packed dance floor

If you want a packed dance floor the entire night, then DJ JESS IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST-HAVE!!!

Beginning to end, Jess put so much care into the entire process - getting to know us, understanding our musical interests, and working in partnership with all of our vendors to curate the most impeccable vibes. She really has this art down to a science.

Jess was also extremely respectful to our highly diverse wedding, which included everything from religious blessings with elderly grandparents, to live entertainment from some of our favorite local drag performers (huge thank-yous to Max Starvania, Catty Wampus, and Daisy Oopsie!). Jess made sure every single guest felt comfortable and had fun. Every person had their moment in the spotlight, and our photographers (Tommy & Trey) had so many special memories to capture thanks to her work. The chemistry was so great that many of our guests thought we had known Jess for *years*. Thank you for making our wedding absolutely perfect.
-Love, Adam and Dylan

The best dj of all time

If you need a DJ for any event, you HAVE to use DJ Jess. We had the absolute pleasure of having her DJ our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. She created the perfect atmosphere for our big day, and had the dance floor packed from beginning to end. The special thing about Jess is that she really wants to get to know you, and understand exactly what you want. Even from our first meeting, it was apparent that she wanted to understand us as a couple to make sure that she could create the wedding of our dreams, and she did just that. We also really enjoyed getting to know her as a person, and she was SO easy to work with. Super responsive, professional, friendly, and catered to every single thing we asked of her. She even created a special mix by secretly recording messages from some people in our bridal party and playing it over our final song to end the night. We will never forget it! We have received numerous complements about our DJ from the attendees at our wedding, and we can’t rave enough about Jess. If any of our friends are getting married, we automatically send Jess’s information to them because there really is nobody better. We can’t say enough good things about her, and would HIGHLY recommend using her for your event!

Wonderful Crafter of Energy

I don't know how to even begin to talk about DJJess- enigmatic, resonant, uplifting, with the best vibes! DJJess just continually gave us the confirmation every step of the way that she was the correct choice for our wedding! We had met with a few DJs and almost gone with another choice, but ultimately it became clear through our process that we needed a professional, and DJJess was well worth the money. Every meeting, every email, and every moment spent with her from the jump was so intentional..she very clearly works to be up with the times, always, she accepts EVERYONE for who they are, as their FULL authentic selves, and she just loves love so it makes her connection that much more elevating of the space. DJJess proved to us that DJs can be about much more than just the music when they are experts at their craft- and in being more than just the music make the actual execution of the even that much more elevated, on point, and absolute perfection. DJJess was extremely responsive, tuned in, and locked into making OUR vision true to the fullest. It's clear she is so intentional in her work, in the number of clients she takes annually, to the types of check-ins she does with her couples, to the time she places into getting to know her people by getting to know their music. She flawlessly uses this to craft a dance space that brings everyone forward into the space-and not just for one dance, but multiple. She will even craft a perfect introduction that is created to exactly who you are as a couple- puns and all ( in the bestest of ways)! Beyond that, she is an amazing human who values the best in others, and will elevate you beyond just the time you spend with her as a vendor. HIGHLY recommend booking her, if you are blessed enough for her to cross your path!!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
