Randal & Marissa wedding 5/16/2026

Kalu always comes with the best vibes! My day was so special and the music definitely kept the night going! Kalu met every expectation I had for my wedding day & made the entire process so easy. Out of all my vendors he was the one that was the smoothest to explain what I wanted and he did exactly that! Thank you so much Kalu!

Highly Recommend!

Jacob was amazing from the time we inquired about his service to the day of our wedding. He really helped us create our special day! Jacob was very professional and friendly. He accommodated quickly to weather conditions and helped us adjust to changes the day of. He made sure there was music for everyone to enjoy and kept our family and friends on the dance floor the whole time. The guest loved him and he interacted with our guest on and off the dance floor. I really appreciated his talents and kindness and would recommend him for any and every event! If you want a DJ who will do his job and make sure everyone is having fun Jacob is the one for you.

Extremely Professional Music Maestro

Jacob was outstanding! Exceptionally well organized and very easy to work with. From the planning stage all the way through the end he was always prepared and very flexible. His pricing was ideal for us, but much more would have still been worth it. I received many, many compliments on how perfect the music was. When some of the plans fell apart, i.e. couple intro and brother danced, he was able to seamlessly pivot, make recommendations and implement the change. He is also one of the kindest people I have ever worked with. Thank you!!!

The best dj ever!

As a wedding coordinator and former bride, no one and I mean NO ONE tops Jakob! The best all around in every way. The first time I ever met Jakob 2 years ago, I told him he'd be my wedding DJ. I had just never seen a DJ as good as him! He brings all the energy and you will NOT be dissapointed. He is so organized, communitive and makes you feel so prepared. If I could give 10,000 stars I would!

Jacob Rocks!

Jacob and Kalu Records was incredibly easy to work with.

We planned and executed a simple, entertaining, and highly effective ceremony. Jacob helped to keep us dancing and on schedule with our wedding planner and it was so great to sit back and enjoy the ride.

Corporate Party

This event was for my company's annual sales summit. We started the evening with a little happy hour and by the end of the night Jacob had everyone on the dance floor! Jacob did not disappoint from start to finish. He was professional, extremely responsive, and knew exactly what the party needed at all times! I highly recommend him for any atmosphere and crowd!

Handled Our Unique Requests with a Smile!

Jacob’s charismatic energy was a perfect match for us from our very first intro call. He remained incredibly positive and flexible, even when I threw a few 'odd' requests his way! He truly knows how to read a crowd—so many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed his set and his vibe. If you want a DJ who is both professional and a blast to work with, Jacob is your guy!
