About this vendor

For the People Entertainment is a Milwaukee based DJ and emcee team serving weddings across Wisconsin and Northern Illinois. Couples tell us their dance floors stayed packed all night, even the crowds they figured would sit it out. Reviewers also mention our team reading the room and adjusting on the fly, and checking in during the event without hovering. One couple's guests asked for our contact info afterward to book us for their own party.

We spend the week before your wedding turning your planning form into organized music lists, then call you to walk through it so nothing is left to guess on the day. We never book every DJ on the same date. Someone is always on call as backup, ready to run equipment to your venue if needed. That means one less thing for you to worry about.

We are a good fit if you have a sense of what you want musically and want to celebrate your day, not narrate it song by song. Reach out and tell us your date.

Includes planning portal, timeline call, backup DJ on call

Unforgettable Energy and Seamless Perfection from Start to Finish

We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ for our wedding day. From the very beginning, everything was handled with professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for making our day special.

The music was absolutely perfect—every song felt intentional and kept the energy exactly where it needed to be all night long. transitions were smooth, the timing was spot-on, and the dance floor stayed lively.

What really stood out was how well they read the room. They knew exactly when to slow things down for meaningful moments and when to bring the energy back up and get everyone moving again. Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had.

Beyond just the music, they helped create an atmosphere that felt personal, fun, and unforgettable. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond to make your wedding amazing, this is the DJ you want.

Highly recommend—truly a 5-star experience from start to finish.

A perfect night!

Jerald was fantastic at our small wedding gathering at Cafe Hollander. He did a fantastic job keeping the crowd going all night and taking requests. He was kind enough to handle our MC duties and smooth over the ceremony proceedings with our officiant. Our guests loved that he brought the mic out to the floor for karaoke! We will certainly keep For The People in mind if we need a DJ again!

Surpassed out Expectations!

For the People did an awesome job. So many of our guests came up to us and told us how much they loved our DJ. A few people enjoyed it so much that they were asking for FTP's info so they could book them for their own upcoming weddings. When the dancing ended for the night, the floor was still packed, and it had been that way the entire night. They did an awesome job playing to the audience and everyone had a blast. FTP staff was also great to work with and was super flexible. We had live music before the DJ started and also had a tight window (time-wise) that our reception venue would allow set up, but they accommodated all of this. Couldn't recommend FTP more!

Care for Us and our Guests

Jerald and his team were amazing to work with! We were traveling for our wedding so all appointments and check-ins were virtual. Jerald and his team were very communicative throughout the process. Their website was super easy to use once we got to that stage of planning. Everything day of went smoothly and people are still talking about the atmosphere Jerald brought to the evening. We got some upgrade like glow wands which our guests loved, and Jerald even brought out a mic and we handing it to guests and jamming out himself. We left the night early, but Jerald stayed through the time he was paid because our guests were not done partying yet! He stayed for an extra 20-30 minutes and our guests told us afterwards how much fun they had! Absolutely amazing to work with and made the night so memorable!

Highly recommend!!! So much fun!

We were so happy with Jeralds services DJing our wedding. We wanted a full dance floor and he delivered. He did such an amazing job keeping people on the dance floor and reading the room. He had high energy, was punctual and extremely professional. He had a great online portal to put all our music preferences and timelines in. He also called us the week of to make sure everything was in order and good to go. We would recommend his dj services to anyone! Thank you J dub for a night we will never forget!!! - Eli and Anna

Wedding DJ

Jerald from FTP Entertainment really knows how to throw a good party! With a good client portal, it helped me list all of the songs I wanted played at my wedding. Jerald also took on the requested songs of our guests and even joined us on the dance floor! He is a great guy and we were so happy with the outcome! All of our guests loved him!
