Estrella A. Married on 08/14/2021DJ Persist will not dissapoint!
I’ve been eyeing DJ Persist for many years because his music always has me on the dancefloor, and I never want to leave. I had always known I’d want him as a DJ at my future wedding and he was actually the first vendor we booked.
Thinking back now, little did I know that having Jesse as a DJ at my wedding would mean the whole package, not just bangin’ music. Leading up to our wedding day, Jesse was prompt, organized, and intentional behind all aspects of our wedding reception timeline. He has systems in place that made it easy for us to think through what music/genres we wanted (and what we didn’t want). He was quickly able to grasp the vibe we wanted our guests to feel during our cocktail hour, dinner, and dancefloor, and was able to make our vision a reality.
After our wedding, our guests have told us that our reception timeline ran so smoothly, and Jesse played a huge role in making that happen. There was even a moment where I wasn’t sure if we were on time, and he quickly put on his “counselor” hat and reassured me we were right where we needed to be with a smile. Jesse is not a just a DJ who plays music. He does everything in his power to hype up the crowd by being a great MC, which allows you, as a couple, to take a step back and let him take care of everyone having a good time. He’s seriously a jack of all trades with so many add-ons on top of his DJ services. We are so grateful he was a part of making our wedding day so special. Thank you, Jesse! You’re truly a natural at what you do.
