Need a DJ? Look no further!

My husband and I absolutely LOVED everything about DJ John Jow! He truly made our special day unforgettable.

From beginning to end, John was super informative, organized, and on top of everything. He was responsive, friendly and just a pleasure to work with. He was also super accommodating. I sent him a list of songs organized by the wedding day timeline, and he executed everything perfectly. No malfunctioning of the equipment, mics were perfect, volume was perfect. Need I say more? I truly believe John and his partner went above and beyond to make my wedding day magical as the music makes such a big difference in the ambience of the venue.

We also received so many compliments from our guests on how good the music was! John did a fantastic job mixing our favorite songs throughout the night. I highly recommend DJ John Jow and would love to work with him again in the future.

a true professional

john is a true professional. he makes the event about you, and not him. (you know what i mean) john met with us ahead of time and sampled songs so that we could come up with a play list for dancing and also songs for special events. (first dance, cake cutting, etc) he also has a lot of experience and helped us avoid some possible snags. during the actual wedding, he also worked with our speech makers, hosted a few wedding games, and acted as mc. john was good at reading the crowd, and the dance floor was busy all night.

We couldn't be more thrilled that we chose John to DJ our wedding last weekend. He is absolutely incredible. The dance floor was packed all night from the second it opened up, and we got repeated comments from our guests that it was the best party playlist they'd ever heard. I am a musician, and my husband and I both love music and dancing, so getting the best DJ and the best sound equipment we could was important. John was so successful in creating a lively atmosphere that the bride and groom from a neighboring wedding reception came over to our side at one point to dance!

John was a consummate professional from the moment we messaged him. He worked around our schedule given we live on the East Coast, was clear and responsive in his communications, and even took the time to sit down with us once we got to California to fine-tune the playlist. His music library is extensive, and he has music to suit all tastes. He arrived and set up early. On top of that, he was just a pleasure to talk to and work with, and his knowledge of Bay Area venues was invaluable, given we were planning remotely.

The photos, videos, and memories from the dance floor are among me and my husband's most precious souvenirs. We couldn't recommend John more highly, and in fact, have already recommended him to friends of ours who are planning to get married.

Thanks John!!!

Planning a wedding/event is hard. No matter how detail oriented you are, you can't think of everything. And why would you want to when you're supposed to be planning and enjoying your wedding day! That's where you rely on seriously great vendors or friendors. I cannot stress enough how big of a difference it makes when you work with vendors who are professional, personable, caring and that you can trust. John Jow is all of this and more. Working with him, I learned that hiring a DJ is so much more than having someone play the music at your event. There is so much more to it that he helped to guide us through. When things don't go as planned, and that will be inevitable for weddings, you want to know that your DJ/vendors can adjust with your best interest in mind. Yes, picking the right songs are important, but John also has done literally a million events and knows also what's not good to play. He also stepped in to MC during parts we needed him. He is such a professional and kind person. Once you meet John (and see that smile) all your stresses will go away. At least until you work on the next thing for your wedding. When it comes to budget, weddings aren't cheap. It's a bit cliche, but you really do get your money's worth with John and Jeff. Find other areas and ways to cut your budget. If you know baseball, he's kind of like the buster posey or catcher of the wedding. He's at the vantage point to see all of it. And he can help adjust when he sees something. So, if you're questioning or debating whether to call John...don't. He books up super fast. There's a good reason why.

John was a pleasure to work with. Very down to earth and passionate. Every meeting and discussion was insightful. He went through the process step by step with us making sure to cover every aspect of the wedding that needed musical input. He was very helpful when we did not know what music selections to make. He offered many suggestions but was not pushy and left it up to us to choose the final selections.

My husband and I and our guests had a great time at our wedding. DJ John Jow is highly recommended.

We loved having John as our wedding DJ and would definitely recommend him to others. I was first impressed by John when I heard him DJ a company function. Unlike most events you might go to with co-workers, he had everyone dancing so I approached him about DJing our wedding. He is extremely passionate about music and the energy it can bring to your event. He has an incredible ability to survey the dance floor and adapt the music, on the fly, to match or influence the mood of the party. My husband added that he is like a human Pandora playlist - you tell him what songs you like and don't like and he can predict what songs you will like. Our meeting with John before our wedding was very thorough and detailed which made us feel very comfortable and confident about the music going into our big day. Overall we had a great experience working with John and our wedding dance party was better than we could have imagined!

Nicest and friendliest DJ I've worked with as a wedding planner! Not only does he give off the "I'm Your Good Friend" vibe immediately, but his skills set were impeccable. I was quite impressed with how quickly he set up his area, considering the amount of equipment he had.

It's normal to have the timeline veer off track due to someone/something happening to back things up. But John was able to project confidently and warmly on the mic to the guests about the next happenings, closing up any restless gaps of time. Guests were tearing up the dance floor to his beats too!

You are definitely in GREAT hands with John, as he conveys true professionalism and a stellar attitude throughout the Big Day! You want a wedding pro like him on your team!! :)

John was recommended to me by my older sister. My husband and I really enjoyed working with John. He was very professional and took the time to make sure we were aligned on the type of music we wanted for our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. We met John at his home studio a month or two before our wedding and played through different types of music. John also did our uplighting which looked amazing. During and after our wedding, all of our friends told us how much fun they had and how the music was so great. We highly recommend John!

John Jow did a great job with our wedding last September! We had a destination wedding in Hawaii and he was the only vendor we flew in from SF. He was easy, fast, very detailed and thorough to work with and executed flawlessly. From helping us create our playlists before and during our ceremony to our walk-in music to reception and dancing, John ensured everything flowed together. To this day, we're still getting compliments on our music. We worked with John for both music and AV - lighting, mics, speakers, introductions, etc. John made everything happen so smoothly, I highly recommend working with him!
