Hire Dream Day DJs!!

We had the pleasure of having Jake as our MC for our wedding evening, and he was absolutely incredible! Jake actually DJ’d my sister’s wedding 11 years ago, and he was so good that I knew I had to have him for my big day too.

He was such a pleasure to work with; attentive to our needs, flexible with our requests, and masterful at keeping the energy high all night long. Jake crafted the perfect playlist, kept us on track throughout the evening, and brought such a fun, professional vibe to the celebration.

I can’t recommend Dream Day DJs enough, and especially Jake! Thank you for helping make our night truly unforgettable!

Highly, highly recommend to hire Jake to be apart of your team!

We can't say enough wonderful things about Jake! From the very beginning, he was kind, responsive, and incredibly easy to work with—but what really stood out was how gracefully he handled everything on the day of our wedding.

A storm rolled in just before our ceremony, and we had to make a last-minute call to move everything inside. Amid all the chaos and shifting plans, he stayed calm, flexible, and supportive. We had several last-minute requests for some music adjustments, and he handled each one with such professionalism.

Our one goal for the wedding was to keep the dance floor alive all night long and thanks to him that goal was accomplished. He kept the energy going the entire time, we are so grateful to have had Jake as part of our team. Highly, highly recommend!

Highly Recommended Wedding DJ (and Photo Booth and Lighting!)

Highly recommend Jake from Dream Day DJs! Dream Day DJs came recommended from our day-of wedding coordinator, and from our first call, it was clear Jake is professional, attentive, and invested in making your day match your vision. My one must-have at the wedding was a photo booth, and I loved that they provide this service as well so I didn't have to contract an additional vendor. They also have a very reasonably priced option where they put a copy of each photo booth strip into an album for guests to sign, eliminating the need for a separate guest book! We really loved that. Jake also walked us through uplighting options he provides to add a little more ambiance to our venue. All in all, having one vendor provide three separate services made things efficient and easy from a planning perspective.

From what I could tell on that whirlwind of a day, everything ran smoothly and on time. What really stood out for us:
-Jake provided audio equipment for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, and all went exactly as planned. He worked with us to ensure cocktail hour had a specially curated song list (Dirty Dancing themed!) and with our friend who played guitar for the ceremony and needed amplification. I was really worried about that part at first, but he emailed with our friend before the wedding to confirm logistics and equipment and then met up with him while he was setting up the space to do a sound check.
-He was very familiar with our venue (Sweeney Barn) and didn't need anything from us on the day, which was really nice, so we could focus on enjoying the pre-ceremony time with our wedding party and photographer.
-He made sure our little "asks" were taken care of, for example, ensuring that no matter how long the intros took for our wedding party we entered on a fun and upbeat part of the entrance song for the reception.
-He was responsive throughout the entire planning process, even in the time before the wedding (more than three months out) when most vendors ignore you!

Several guests have made a point to tell us since the wedding that he was an excellent DJ and the music choices, order, and mixing stood out to them. If you want a DJ who is not only talented and professional, but also genuinely passionate about making your event amazing, you should feel comfortable working with Jake.

Fantastic Photo Booth & Customer Service

We rented a Photo Booth through Dreamday DJ and we were very happy with how everything turned out! Jake was great to work with and took the time to ask us for our preferences on photo size, color, backdrop, etc. He managed the booth the whole time and we got so much great feedback from our guests. The photo quality was great and he even included an album so guests could insert a photo/note for us as a keepsake. Amazing service leading up to the wedding and the day of!

Best night!!!

We hired Jake as part of our May 2025 wedding and couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. Jake is extremely professional, responsive, and he really helped bring everything together on our big day. He was an amazing MC during our reception and sent out a detailed questionnaire that helped us with planning our wedding and ensuring we incorporated everything we wanted to. Jake really brought the party and kept our guests going on the dance floor for hours. Couldn’t recommend Jake and Dream Day DJs more!

Jake was amazing

Can’t recommend dream day DJ enough! Jake was an AMAZING MC and DJ!! We truly couldn’t have done it without him. I really appreciated all his effort from making my bridal entrance as I wanted (he had to cut and blend so it played exactly how I wanted it), the song selections and his amazing energy. I heard back from so many guests how great Jake was too. Some of my more tech savvy friends also commented on how he had great sound systems as well. It was a little windy at our ceremony but the audio was still crystal clear.

Highly recommend!

Jake was the DJ for my sister’s wedding and received raved reviews, so I immediately knew that we wanted him to DJ our wedding. Jake has a comprehensive worksheet that helped us plan the music for every part of the day. He also met with us before the big day to go through everything and make sure that we were on the same page. The end result was perfect! From the cocktail hour, to the introductions and first dance, to the last song of the night, the music was exactly what we envisioned. Jake has an enormous catalogue of music that kept everyone of all ages on the dance floor all night long. We would highly recommend Dream Day DJs!

Wonderful Experience!

We hired Jake and he was the perfect DJ for our wedding. He was professional, accommodating and clearly experienced. We also chose him for his demeanor as he was not cheesy or over the top! He arranged a Photo Booth set up for us, which our guests loved. He also did a great job with sound for our outdoor ceremony.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Jake is awesome. It's hard to find a DJ who realizes what it truly means to be a professional DJ. Working with his couples, putting on a great show, and having the knowledge makes him someone that everyone should know. He's helped us out a few times and we're happy to work with him when needed.
