We feel so incredibly lucky to have found DJ Persist! He made our special day absolutely perfect! We saw family members on the dance floor who we hadn't seen dance in our entire lives! DJ Persist knows how to read a crowd and is incredibly talented. He understood our eclectic group and somehow found a way to cater to everyone (from banda to pop-punk to hip-hop to country), making it all look seamless. Hiring him was one of the best decisions we ever made, not to mention his amazing add-on services. We had the 360 booth, which was an absolute hit! Some guests later told me they had so much fun with the booth that they could have done it all night and had one of the best nights of their lives. Additionally, DJ Persist kindly offered a new service called the nightclub experience to us free of charge since it was a new launch, and OMG, it was so fun! My large bridal party was nervous their entrances would feel awkward, but that concern vanished the moment DJ Persist provided LED strobe wands and poster signs. If this is a concern for your bridal party, please, please consider adding it on! Thank you so much for everything, DJ Persist!

DJ Persist (Jesse) made our wedding reception a real vibe! From Chicago classics to catering to our bilingual guests he mixed multiple genres that had our wedding guests dancing and LOVING being on the dance floor . We highly recommend Jesse for your future events! He was great to work with and delivered the best for us on our big day.

DJ Persist did an incredible job making sure all of our guests had the best time on the dance floor! He perfectly tailored the music to our crowd and added in his own flare to our music selections! From the planning perspective, his planning forms and music selections were great for building a playlist and ensuring all music selections were made for all the significant moments of our wedding. We had a multi-cultural wedding, combining Mexican and Ghanian cultures and music and he did a great job blending these two cultures seamlessly. We incorporated the Mexican tradition of La Vibora de la Mar into our reception and it was a hit amongst all of our blended guests! We also added the photobooth and memory book into our cocktail hour and reception and our guests loved it and it made for a great keepsake of our wedding. We could not recommend DJ Persist enough!

Jesse was absolutely amazing as our wedding DJ! From the planning process through the reception, he was professional, organized, and easy to work with. He kept the energy high all night, read the crowd perfectly, and made sure the dance floor stayed packed.

He did a great job with announcements, transitions, and accommodating our music requests. Our family and friends had an incredible time, and we’ve received so many compliments about how fun the reception was. Jesse helped make our wedding day unforgettable, and we couldn’t be happier with his service.

We highly recommend Jesse to any couple looking for a talented, reliable, and professional wedding.

Jesse provided us with such a great experience from the moment we booked him. He gave us the best guidance leading up to our big day and kept the dance floor packed at our reception. He made our wedding the best day possible.

DJ Persist, Jesse, did a phenomenal job for our entire wedding. He was extremely easy to work with, very responsive, and has a user friendly platform. From the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to the dance floor. He kept the mood fun and the party lively! We have continued to receive compliments on how that was the best wedding with the best dance floor anyone has ever experienced. We explained to Jesse that we had a very diverse crowd attending, which required a diverse selection of music. He delivered beautifully! People sang during dinner and kept the dance floor full. Thank you for a fun time and a memorable event!

DJ Persist created the perfect wedding set! His attention to detail and professionalism made our night one to remember. Thanks, Jesse!

DJ Persist was recommended to us by our chosen caterer for our wedding and we are so glad we chose DJ Persist to DJ our wedding. DJ persist is very professional, easy to communicate and work with, and made our wedding day run very smoothly. He went above and beyond to ensure our day was everything we dreamed of. Us and our guests truly had the best day dancing the night away!

You NEED to go with DJ Persist for your wedding!!! We originally found him because we were hoping to find a bilingual DJ who could address our loved ones in both English and Spanish while knowing the fun Mexican wedding dance traditions. We had multiple interviews with DJs but he really stood out and made us feel like no one would be left out on the dance floor! We got the deluxe package which includes everything you need! The most important part was the music and he truly knocked it out of the park. He incorporated all the genres and songs we asked for while adding in songs that fit the vibe perfectly. He was able to create the perfect multicultural medley that fit us perfectly as a couple. It ranged from 2000s hits to cumbias to Marco Antonio Solís to Taylor Swift which may seem like a huge range but he did it all so seamlessly that everyone was having the best time. He did such a great job of keeping us on track that night and followed the timeline we gave him to a T! He also offers so many fun and cool add-ons. We got the Photo Booth add-on which our guests loved as they got to take something home with them. We also had a robot (who dressed up as a gorilla for a bit) and this was the highlight of the night!!! Seriously our guests have not stopped talking about it because it was so memorable and different :) He made everything so easy and seamless so that you just show up on wedding day and have fun! He also put together a picture slideshow of my husband and I which was such a sweet touch. His lighting set-up was amazing and worked perfectly with our venue. I honestly wish we would’ve gotten more add-ons so do it for yours because you won’t regret it! Jesse is truly a great guy with vibrant and professional energy that you will be so happy you went with him! 100000/10 recommend! Thank you DJ Persist!!!

In 2020, I came across DJ Persist on Instagram Live, and I was immediately blown away. He was seamlessly blending Latin music with American pop, understanding the rhythms of both cultures and playing total bops. At the time, I had only been dating my (now) husband, who’s from Mexico, for about a year-- but I remember thinking right then and there: "when we get married, we’re hiring DJ Persist."

Cut to 2025, and that’s exactly what we did. We’re based in NYC and flew Jesse in from Chicago because we knew how important it was to have someone who could truly bridge both of our cultures on the dance floor, and wow, did he deliver. The energy was unreal. The dance floor never let up -- both families came in and out all night, and most of the time we were all dancing together.

It was incredible how effortlessly Jesse moved between English and Spanish. It made both of our families feel included and celebrated, and we heard nonstop praise from everyone (on both sides) about how incredible he was. People were in awe of the setlist, the transitions, the vibe. We brought him to our after-party where we really let the dance floor loose. He's such a smart DJ-- not just pressing play on a playlist. He understands the musicality, the beats, and how to layer songs together; it was seriously so fun.

On top of all that, Jesse is just great to work with- kind, responsive, professional, and fairly priced. He truly gets it, and hiring him was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.
