About

Kidron Music is proud to have won our fourth straight WeddingWire "Couple's Choice" award!

We can't thank our clients enough for the appreciation they show us and it's one of the many reasons why we absolutely love our jobs and being a part of so many amazing couples' love stories. We've never had a bad review and don't plan on getting one!

Over the last fourteen years, we have developed a system of custom worksheets and in-person planning sessions to get to know our couples' tastes, needs and wants. We believe in helping our clients find ways to plan for and customize as much of their Wedding day as possible in the months leading up to the wedding, so that on the day of, very few decisions need to be made and they can focus solely on enjoying their day and dancing with their guests!

Most couples receive 4-5 hours of in-person planning time with owner Jesse Lynn, to make sure they have as much attention as they need to feel completely excited about the big day. And, we love nothing more than getting to know our clients so well that when we walk into their Wedding we are (almost) as excited as they are, that the event we spent so much time talking about and planning has finally arrived!

We are always so thrilled to hear from our clients how much stress and worry we take out of the process of hiring a DJ for the Wedding and ensuring that the day runs smoothly. We put as much focus into keeping things moving for the first half of the reception as we do to keeping the dance floor packed!

Please contact us to find out so much more! We love talking about Weddings!

World-Class DJ!!

We went with Jesse as our wedding DJ on a whim after reading all the great reviews and I'm so glad that we did. From the moment we met him, we knew we had struck gold. We were extremely impressed with his organization, his energetic yet laid back demeanor, and his genuine interest in making our special day about us. He deserves a ton of credit in making our wedding day as flawless as it was, and far exceeds any DJ I have ever come across. I highly recommend booking Jesse for your wedding day- you will not regret it!

Above and Beyond!

If you're looking to fun and high-energy wedding reception, look no further. Jesse is the BEST. Our dance floor was packed until the very end of the night. We received so many comments from our guests that they've never seen that many people dancing the whole time at a wedding. Jesse played the best music that catered to all of our guests and our music tastes.
The planning meetings with him went far beyond music. His experience working at so many weddings provided insight for us planning the entire reception. We didn't have a wedding planner, and we didn't even need one because Jesse had the experience, knowledge of our venue and professional opinions we needed throughout the planning process and on the day of to make our reception flow smoothly. The day of the wedding we were able to get to the reception and fully enjoy ourselves knowing that everything was planned and ready to go.
Before wedding planning, I didn't realized that a DJ is about much more than the music. Jesse kept the crowd informed of what was happening during the reception such as our grand entrances, cake cutting, when dinner was served etc. and he did so very professionally. He is friendly, engaging, and his experience shines through in his craft. We give our highest recommendation to him!

You will not regret booking with Kidron.

Do not even think twice about booking with Jesse; it will be the best decision you will make. He is hands down the best wedding DJ in this area.
Before our wedding, we had been to two weddings where Kidron Music provided the entertainment, and we knew that we didn't just want him as our DJ; we NEEDED him.
From the beginning, he made my husband and I feel like the priority. He wanted to make sure that the day felt like ours: he wasn't pushy on the traditional stuff DJs typically are, had fun suggestions for new and different and made sure that whatever we chose to do was the way WE wanted it. His process of gathering information and keeping everything so organized is INCREDIBLE. He is a very busy guy but truly makes you and your partner feel like his only clients when he works with you. Even though he was our DJ, it felt like he was also our coordinator. He worked closely with us, our photographers and the venue coordinator to ensure our day went off without a hitch.
Our guests could not stop talking about how fun the wedding was and how perfect the music selection was: the dance floor was PACKED.
We would recommend Jesse at Kidron Music again and again.

Jesse is amazing, hire him

Jesse is amazing. I have recommended him to so many of my friends that have gotten married. Everyone was on the dance floor the whole time at our wedding and I got so many compliments about how great the dj was.

Wow, Jesse is the BEST!

Jesse is AMAZING!! He is a true wedding DJ pro and we are so happy we got to work with him for our special day. Jesse did our ceremony music and our cocktail hour/reception/dance floor music. We have heard nothing but amazing things from our guests about the music and the dance floor. A few highlights: the grand entrance - Jesse got our crowd up on their feet and I think this is truly when we knew the night was going to be so fun! Table pictures (in game-form!) - so many of our guests had never seen anything like this and LOVED every minute of it! It was so fun and will be so special having pictures with all of our guests. Every minute of the dance floor - Jesse knew how to read the crowd and put together a playlist of songs that were not only meaningful to us but were fun for our guests. We felt like he truly listened to our vision (we just wanted a big party and a lively, non-stop dance floor) and he delivered on ALL levels. No one wanted the night to end because they were having such a fun time dancing! We’re not lying when we say 85% of our guests stayed until the very end of the night and were all out on the dance floor because they were truly having the time of their lives. Jesse helped us throw the best party ever and we’ll forever be grateful. Thank you, Jesse!!!

Flawless Execution

I have personally known Jesse with Kidron Music for a few years from his DJ and karaoke services at various Lake County establishments and knew that I would like to have him DJ my wedding. Jesse is very thorough, detail oriented, organized, easy-going, and also a HUGE team player and works well with the other vendors to make sure the wedding flows flawlessly. He really makes an effort to get to know you as a couple, what kind of music you want for the wedding, and does an amazing job putting it all together. We heard nothing but great compliments about the music. 1000/10 definitely recommend.

Best DJ Ever

Jesse is incredible! His wedding experience came through in every meeting, which made us feel so comfortable. The planning process was easy and fun - We really felt like we’ve know Jesse forever. The day of the wedding came and I was chaotic (naturally) but Jesse brought such a calming factor. The ceremony and cocktail hour were so smooth, and then the reception… When I tell you the dance floor was packed the entire night, wow! We had a blast! I had so many people come up to me afterwards asking “who was your DJ?”. Could not have asked for a better DJ. You won’t regret booking with him!

Jesse knows his business!

When my DJ backed out at the last minute, Jesse was recommended to me. He went above and beyond what I could have imagined. From the start of my wedding ceremony to the last dance, was perfect! His timing of when things to happen was spot on and it kept the night moving smoothly. Would and will definitely recommend him to anyone looking!!

Best DJ ever

Jesse DJ’d our wedding on 8-1-21, recommended by a fellow coworker. When they say the DJ makes the party they do, Jesse knocked it out of the park. He is very well organized, polite and professional. From start to finish he had the crowd moving and grooving, all the way to our last song of the night. He even was able to accommodate our last minute changes as needed. And yes I would use him again in a heartbeat. His price is extremely reasonable for all the work he puts into your event, like you were his only client. Thank you Jesse for making our wedding so memorable.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I would like to thank Jesse from Kidron Music & Weddings. I had the pleasure of partnering with him at a recent ceremony. The music can make or break a wedding service and Jesse definitely "made" it. He was easy to work with and we understood each other right away regarding timing and musical cues. Jesse's sound system and equipment were top of the line and he operated it with ease. As a wedding officiant I appreciate working with fellow professionals and Jesse from Kidron is one such pro. I look forward collaborating again soon. - Rev. Michael, Hitched by MV
