JJ is the best!

JJ was very personable and took all of our needs and wants into consideration and made sure we were comfortable with everything. His schedule fell in line perfectly with our photographer and they worked together on the final details. When it came down to the big night he was punctual and respectful to all of our guests. Everything went flawlessly and he kept the party going into the night. Highly recommend JJ!!

JJ keeps the party going!

DJ JJ with Desert Music Entertainment was our wedding reception DJ and he absolutely met all our expectations. JJ was very organized and professional leading up to the big day - we had several phone calls and he was very accommodating with all our asks. On the big day, JJ had everything music and sound handled. Our venue neighbor ended up having a scheduled festival extend their time, so the sound was bleeding into our outdoor reception. Our coordinator was working to resolve the issue, when JJ came in and assured us it was absolutely no problem and that with his sound system we would not even hear them - he was right! Thank you JJ for keeping our dancefloor absolutely packed, handling what was almost a big issue and ensuring we had as much fun as possible at our reception! We recommend DJ for any wedding you want to get the party started and keep it going!

Best wedding DJ!

From the moment we first got in contact with Desert Music Entertainment, the experience was smooth and seamless. JJ was incredibly responsive to all my inquiries, making me feel at ease with every detail of my daughters wedding music choices and playlists. We had very specific requests for cocktail hour, dinner music and cultural dances and JJ was very familiar with everything to make them run smoothly! The music selection was spot on, setting the perfect atmosphere for each moment. His program to select our music for each transition of the wedding reception was so easy to use and very helpful, letting us chose and customize our music and provided great ideas for songs as well. We are grateful for their attention to detail, responsiveness, and ability to keep the party going. We would highly recommend Desert Music Entertainment to any couple looking for top-notch entertainment for their special day...my daughter, our family and all of our guests at the reception had an amazing time and so much fun on the dance floor!!

Wedding Experience

We recently had our wedding at the Humphrey’s Half Moon Inn and we had Desert Music Entrainment who was in charge of our music. JJ Michaels was incredible! He was very responsive and helpful from the beginning. He has a lot of experience; he has a whole database that you can use to obtain songs for your wedding. He even had ideas or preselected songs for wedding traditions like Father Daughter dances, bouquet toss, etc. We all had a wonderful time dancing. He was ready to narrate the wedding if needed. We had a Day of Coordinator but were lucky to have JJ Michaels to make the announcements which made everything run smoothly. So if we didn't have a DOC we feel he would have stepped in and helped. He paid a lot of attention to details including toasts and timing. We had an amazing time and were so grateful for his work and professionalism. We had so much fun dancing.

Amazing DJ/emcee!!!

JJ was an amazing DJ and Emcee for our wedding! He assisted us throughout the planning process, went above and beyond to make sure any and all questions were answered, and even shared some helpful tips we wouldn't have thought to ask! The wedding evening went so smoothly and timely, and it was in huge part to him being so organized and supportive. Plus the music was so fun and DJ'ed perfectly! Thank you JJ!

Best DJ in the Valley!

Simply put, JJ was amazing. From the moment that we first contacted him, he was extremely responsive and professional. He clearly had a lot of experience with weddings, offering suggestions for things that we had not even thought of, but loved including in our wedding. He helped us to make our timeline, and our wedding went off perfectly, as planned. Our guests kept telling us how much they liked the music!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
