So here is the thing... I have known Johnathan for a long long time, he has been an amazing DJ that I have seen play countless times. Needless to say he has been a good friend and has always been my "Dream DJ". When my now wife and I became engaged we decided we wanted to get married in the Maritimes of Canada.

Well, as we are both from Sarasota this makes things a little more difficult... We both work in the wedding industry we are very fortunate to know what we think are the best vendors in the area. We were a little out of our comfort zone having this all done in Canada, not only did we not know many vendors there but we were also challenged with finding the best talent to make our day amazing. And let me tell you we were having allot of trouble finding a good DJ...

Not to dive into too many details, but a few months after we were engaged we were lamenting about how we would LOVE to have Jonathan up there and how he is the perfect DJ for what we were looking for. Then what felt like the next day we got a call... Johnathan was willing to travel all the way from Sarasota to New Brunswick Canada!

As Johnathan is a true legend in the Sarasota area we could not believe our fortune. As everyone who books with Johnathan knows, he is not just a DJ... he is a true performer. As a singer, Johnathan performs incredible and powerful songs, and often times you wont even notice its him singing. You will hear the music and think "Wow thats really good" then turn and look and BAM! You see Johnathan doing what he does best.

Our day was incredible.... Johnathan has a way of making his events so special. We danced the night away, and had the most incredible and memorable time of both my and my wife's lives.

All of this to say that I can't recommend him enough. And Johnathan! Thank you again, you really made everything extra special.

We saw Jonathan performing at a friend's wedding last year and knew immediately we wanted him! He made everything so easy and explained how we didn't have to choose every song throughout the evening, that he reads the crowd and knows when to change to song or when the crowd loves what he's playing. He sang Andrea Bocelli at dinner that brought tears to almost everyone's eyes. He entertained the crowd and they absolutely loved him! Highly recommend!

Jonathan and his team did everything you could only dream of to make our day absolutely perfect! They were super professional, fun, and got everyone up and dancing!! There is nothing more I could’ve asked for in a DJ! He’s got it all!

Best night of my life and the best wedding decision I made was having Jonathan Cortez perform at my reception and after party. I can’t thank him enough for the good vibes all night long! He is exceptional and I truly feel like he made the entire night. Not only is he an amazing dj he is such a talented performer guests could hardly believe he wasn’t lip singing, because he is THAT good. The only thing I would have done differently is put him right in the middle of the dance floor when he performed! He made my after party “Club Opps” dreams come true and our friends and family are still talking about the amazing time they had. Even our older relatives stayed until midnight. If I can give you any advice - I personally would not have a wedding unless Jonathan was there.

I came across Jonathan 10+ years ago at a friends wedding and knew if my day ever came, I'd hire him! He is so talented, singing everything from Michael Buble to Etta James. Your DJ sets the mood for the wedding and Jonathan knocks it out of the park! I'd hire him 100 times over!!!

Jonathan did an amazing job at our wedding. His professionalism was superb and he played and sang all of our requested songs. We had guests request him for their Christmas party this year!

Due to 2020 we unfortunately had to cancel our large wedding and decided to host a small wedding outdoors. Jonathan was the perfect fit as he was able to provide an entertainment factor with his singing. We didn’t realize how much our guests would enjoy him! He was a great addition to our night and we are so glad we went with him! All of our guests had such a blast and couldn’t stop talking about how amazing he was. If you’re debating whether to book him or not, this is your sign!

Thanks to our wedding coordinator/planner Kim Frazer’s referral I hired Jonathan for our daughter’s wedding. He was amazing!!! Jonathan provided a level of entertainment/DJ services that exceeded our expectations. He handled the flow of the evening flawlessly, and kept guests dancing. His voice and vocal range is phenomenal; even received a standing ovation from our guests. But, he wasn’t flashy about his talent and made sure the spotlight was still on the bride & groom. Our guests are still raving about how wonderful the wedding was—Jonathan was a huge factor of that success. Do not have your If you want your wedding to be spectacular hire Jonathan Cortez (and Kim Frazer from The Perfect Dress). You’ll be thrilled you did.

Jonathon Cortez is an absolutely "show stopping!!!" My wedding was a week ago and I still have people calling to tell me how amazing he was!! Jonathon sings the songs better then the original artist!!! He was a pleasure to work with!! I highly recommend him for ANY event!!!

I got connected to Jonathan through my father who has been using him as his DJ for the last 10 years for all of his office parties. I knew Jonathan was good when my dad told me they have changed the dates of their office parties to accommodate Jonathan’s busy schedule. After having him as our wedding DJ I can see why.

Jonathan was an outstanding DJ on every level. He masterfully coordinated a multicultural wedding with Arabic and English music. He prepared in advance by getting our non-English language music and learned them as if they were his own songs. He was professional and courteous with everyone he interacted with. On top of being so pleasant to be around, he is a stunningly talented artist with an incredible voice that transitions among any genre effortlessly. Out of everything in our wedding, we received the most compliments for our DJ. Everyone was blown away his artistry and no one could believe it when he started singing!! The man can really sing! He truly made our wedding magical. If having fun at your reception is important to you, you must hire him!!! The DJ makes it a party. He kept everyone dancing all night!!!!!

Hiring him was the best decision we made for our wedding!
