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!!!!!

Must Hire!

Jesse was amazing! He was always there when we needed him and he was constantly checking up on us! He was very communicative during the planning process as well as during the wedding itself. He was able to read the room and dj accordingly. He is a must hire especially if you are having a bilingual wedding!

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!

The BEST person for the job!

Jesse was an absolute gem! He was incredible throughout the whole wedding process and was so helpful. We first found Jesse through an instagram deep dive, what really called out to me was that he MC’d in English and Spanish. This was really important to me, as I had family coming from Peru and my now husband had family that also only spoke English. So we essentially needed someone who could speak to both our cultures. Once we got to speaking with him in our first meeting, we immediately felt taken care of and trusted him completely. He was organized, he was fun to talk to, and had a calming presence that reassured us. Three fourths of the way into our wedding planning process we had to shift venues and he was so flexible and made us feel comfortable about everything still going to plan. We had a few different meetings and check ins that helped the day of go really smoothly and he also collaborated effortlessly with our wedding coordinator. On the day of he helped with ceremony set up, cocktail hour set up and then kept the party alive throughout the reception. He was the best person for the job and couldn’t imagine hiring anyone else for the job. He made our wedding what it was and kept the vibes exactly where they needed to be! 🙌🏼🙏🏼✨

Puro party

Let me start off by saying I’ve known Jesse for a good while. I had a great time at every party I attended to that he DJ’d, Fast forward a few years he starts doing weddings and I knew I’d want him to be the one to DJ our wedding. At a friend’s wedding reception I mentioned to Jesse that I may need his services soon and sure enough Jesse reached out to me after my engagement. Jesse was flexible and accommodating with his schedule. From reaching out and meeting with my fiancée and I, conversing over our tastes in music, what vision we were going for he definitely helped us pick a package for our night. He even asked details I hadn’t even thought off that definitely contributed to our wedding night going smoothly. Alternating between music from both our cultures, was great and had the friends dancing the night with us from the youngest to the oldest. Thank you Jesse for helping us have a memorable night!

Best Bilingual DJ Around!!

When my (now) husband and I began the planning process of our wedding, one of the first things we booked after the venue was the DJ because in our family, a party is nothing without good music! We were on a mission to find a bilingual DJ who understood our vision and was able to fuse the several different genres and cultures of our event seamlessly and DJ El Jesse absolutely delivered with a dance floor that felt absolutely electric.

Jesse takes a very personalized and tailored approach with his clients, from setting up meetings to capture the total vibe of our event, sharing updates throughout the process, and even scheduling a call to go over the final run of show- I knew we were in great hands! He took his time curating our playlist for both our cocktail hour & reception to make sure it was exactly what we were looking for! He even went above and beyond to accommodate new elements at the last hour. (The Up lights are 100% worth it!)

We couldn’t recommend Jesse more. If you’re looking for an all-around great DJ with incredible range and who will treat your event like it’s a family wedding- then Jesse is your guy!

An Amazing DJ That Made the Night!

DJ El Jesse was recommended to us by his colleague and we are so glad we were connected! Jesse is extremely professional and prompt- he scheduled pre-meetings with us to go over details of the night we would have never thought of. He gave us the time and thought to make sure the night went off without a hitch.

Not only does he have great taste (seamlessly blended different genres of music), but he's also a wonderful MC. The dance floor was packed and we had so many guests compliment the music.

We are 1000% sure we made the right choice having Jesse as a DJ, MC, and also providing sound service for our ceremony. Can't recommend him enough!

A-ma-zing!!

We can not recommend Jesse enough!! The music was by far one of the most important things to us. We wanted to make sure our music and over all vibe was something everyone of our guests could enjoy, and Jesse and Roberto knocked it out of the park! It was an absolute pleasure working with Jesse throughout the entire process. He was helpful, professional, responsive and kind. He was worth every penny, and I would easily recommend him to anyone. We have never seen so many people out on the dance floor at one time, no one wanted to leave, he even had people who rarely dance out on the floor. PLEASE, do yourself a favor and hire Jesse to be your DJ you won't regret it! He helped us and our guests have the best night!

Amazing DJ

Jesse was great, very helpful. We had dances we were performing for our guests and he edited songs for us even on the day of the wedding we needed last minute song edits and he did it with no problem. He help out a lot. Not only was he helpful and making things stress free with the music but he also gave us questions we didn't even think to ask him and for our reception location. He's great, I 110% recommend him, very responsive through text and always made time to get on a call with us when we want to go over things, just great. He did not fail us at all. He listened to what we wanted, he understood and made it 100 times better. Also wanted to mention, his assistant was amazing and very helpful as well.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
