5 Stars All Around — Absolutely Amazing DJ!

We seriously could not have asked for a better DJ! From the very beginning, he was incredibly responsive, professional, and genuinely invested in making sure he understood the vibe we wanted for our wedding. He met with us several times beforehand to go over our vision and even created a playlist that we could contribute to, which was such a great way for him to get a feel for our music taste while still letting him do what he does best.

And he absolutely nailed it!

He handled our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception flawlessly. The music covered so many different genres, but everything blended together perfectly. He really knew how to read the crowd and kept the energy going all night. He also provided lighting, helped keep us on our timeline, and made announcements in both English and Spanish, which was really important for our guests.

The biggest compliment is probably how many people came up to us during and after the wedding specifically to rave about Jesse. We kept hearing things like, “Best DJ!” “I don’t want to go home!” and “This is such a vibe!” People genuinely did not want the night to end!

On top of being incredibly talented, he is just a super nice, chill, professional guy and was so easy to work with throughout the entire process. He understood exactly what we were going for and executed it perfectly.

We would recommend him without hesitation! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Best Amazing DJ Ever !!!

We honestly can’t say enough amazing things about our DJ! He was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the moment the reception started until the very last song, he kept the energy going and made sure everyone was having the BEST time. The dance floor was packed all night, and seeing all of our family and friends dancing, laughing, and enjoying themselves was everything we could have dreamed of. 🥹✨ He was so professional, fun, attentive, and made sure everything went smoothly. He listened to everything we wanted and somehow made our wedding feel even more special than we imagined. We genuinely had the best time of our lives, and we know our DJ played such a huge part in making the night so unforgettable.
If you’re looking for a DJ for your wedding, I HIGHLY recommend him! You will not regret it. He knows exactly how to keep the party going and knows how to read the crowd perfectly. My husband and I are so grateful we chose him for our special day, and we will forever remember how much fun we had! 🤍🎶✨

DJ El Jesse: 100/10 would recommend

DJ El Jesse was amazing from beginning to end. Right when we first met him, it’s like we’ve known him for years. He’s down to earth, very flexible and really knows how to bring the vibes.

He was able to fulfill all of our requests for each part of the wedding, going out of his way to make sure each moment was thoughtful and how we envisioned. If there’s an audible mid wedding, he responds seamlessly.

The way he delivers the music brings emotions out of everyone. From happy tears during the ceremony, to the biggest smiles during the reception, DJ El Jesse had the perfect flow!

DJ El Jesse's mixing and transitions were as smooth as butter. The music had people of all ages moving and grooving. He even had the older crowd moving like they were 21 again!

If you want a DJ who is passionate about what he’s doing, speaks both English and Spanish, and gets the people going, DJ Jesse is your guy! We might just have to renew our vows for first year anniversary and have him back!

The perfect bilingual DJ!!!

We were searching for a bilingual DJ who truly knew Latino music but could also keep our non-Hispanic guests on the dance floor, and Jesse exceeded every expectation. From our very first meeting, he was kind, professional, informative, and incredibly knowledgeable. Throughout the planning process he was communicative, organized, and made us feel confident that our wedding was in great hands.
Our wedding day threw plenty of curveballs with the weather, including a last-minute decision to move our ceremony indoors and several timeline changes throughout the evening. Jesse handled every adjustment without missing a beat. He was flexible, moved his equipment wherever it needed to go, and adapted seamlessly as plans changed. His professionalism made what could have been a stressful day feel effortless. The music was absolutely phenomenal, we received countless compliments from our guests all night long, and he perfectly balanced Latin music with crowd favorites so everyone was on the dance floor.
A special thank you to Jesse's father as well, who was so kind and professional. Having him play the bongos alongside the music added such a fun, unique touch and elevated the entire reception. Together they created an unforgettable atmosphere, and we truly couldn't have asked for a better DJ. We will absolutely be recommending Jesse to all of our friends and family for their weddings and special events!

Best dj ever!

If you're looking for the perfect wedding DJ, stop searching and book DJ Jesse. He was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding!
From the very beginning, it was an absolute pleasure working with Jesse. He communicated with us throughout the entire planning process to make sure every detail reflected who we are as a couple.
He even took the time to practice a special transition we requested and somehow made it even better than the inspiration we sent him. That level of dedication says everything about the kind of professional he is.
Having Jesse DJ both our cocktail hour and reception was one of the best decisions we made. He created the perfect atmosphere from the very beginning.
Jesse knows exactly how to read a crowd and keep the energy high. He had everyone completely hyped from the very beginning, and the excitement never faded throughout the night.
The dance floor stayed packed all night long. From the youngest guests to the oldest, everyone was dancing and having an amazing time. We also added the Dancing on the Clouds effect for our first dance, and it made such an important moment even more breathtaking. Working with Jesse doesn't feel like working with a vendor, it feels like working with a friend who genuinely wants your wedding to be everything you've dreamed of. He cares so much about making your day unforgettable, and it truly shows in everything he does.
Our wedding simply would not have been as memorable without DJ Jesse. Jesse is incredibly talented, passionate, and truly the best at what he does. Thank you for giving us the wedding of our dreams!

Thank you, Jesse!

Jesse was great for our bilingual wedding!

With half of our guests predominantly Spanish-speaking, music was a big stress point for us. We wanted everyone to feel included, comfortable, and excited to be on the dance floor. Jesse was a great MC and DJ, and his mic skills really stood out. That’s such an underrated part of choosing a wedding DJ, and Jesse was very comfortable working the crowd in both English and Spanish.

We gave him about 30 sample songs that captured the two vibes we were trying to blend, and he took it from there. He did a great job reading the room, mixing both styles naturally, and keeping the energy up all night. The dance floor was packed, and we honestly couldn’t get people off of it.

Music and dancing can make or break how people remember a wedding, so hiring someone who knows how to read the room and choose the perfect vibe is crucial. Jesse helped make our big night unforgettable, and we’d absolutely recommend him!

Beyond priceless!

Wedding planning could be stressful. It is also difficult to coordinate between multiple vendors. Dj Jesse made our life much easier bringing up suggestions based on his professional experience. These suggestions really helped out a lot. Jesse was super communicative and was there every step of the way. Not only did he give us suggestions, but he also took out a lot of time to chat with us and get to really know what we like in music. This made our wedding memorable because all of the right songs played at the right time. Everyone really enjoyed the music and to this day keep talking about how great of a DJ we had. He truly made our night more memorable. He is very flexible and easy to talk to with his a great personality. I would 100% recommend DJ Jesse for a wedding or any event!

DJ EL JESSE is the BEST Wedding DJ hands down!

DJ El Jesse made our wedding absolutely unforgettable. From the very beginning, he understood exactly what we were looking for and brought our vision to life perfectly.

As a Dominican and Puerto Rican bride and a Puerto Rican groom (both NYC 90s babies) we wanted a very specific vibe: a seamless mix of traditional salsa, merengue, and bachata alongside 90s R&B/hip-hop and 2000s pop/EDM. Somehow, he blended it all effortlessly, and the result was incredible. Every transition felt natural, and every song hit. The dance floor was packed the entire night...no exaggeration. Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had.

Beyond the music, DJ El Jesse is the definition of a professional. He took the time to meet with us over Zoom, really listened to our preferences, and even helped us build out playlists so everything felt personal and intentional. He was organized, responsive, and clearly experienced, which made the whole process stress-free for us.

What really stood out was his ability to read the room and keep the energy going. He knew exactly when to switch it up, when to lean into the classics, and when to surprise everyone with something unexpected.

We also had a small hiccup that caused our wedding to run longer than expected, and he stayed without hesitation, no questions asked. That meant so much to us. It really showed how thoughtful he is and how much he genuinely cares about the experience YOU want to have on YOUR wedding day. He truly makes it all about you, which is rare.

On top of everything, he even captured amazing videos of the dance floor, moments we’ll truly cherish for the rest of our lives. That extra touch meant so much and speaks to how much pride he takes in what he does.

He was also incredibly affordable compared to other DJs we looked at, especially for the level of service he provides. We had him cover our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, and he executed each part flawlessly.

If you’re looking for a DJ who can honor your culture, understand your vision, and keep your guests on the dance floor all night, DJ El Jesse is it. A DJ who truly cares. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you so much Jesse!!!!!

The only wedding DJ you’ll ever need

Jesse DJ’d our wedding, and let me tell you, there are only a few things Jesse isn’t.

He is dependable and thoughtful. He is very experienced and will keep the party going all night. He is personable and will go out of his way to make your night special. He is prepared and will make you feel that you are in good hands.

He is NOT someone you have to chase down for details and he is not stressful to work with.

He's not just a DJ, he’s a huge part of what made our night unforgettable. THANKS JESSE!
