10/10 experience with Lutz Entertainment

From my initial inquiry to our first meeting to the wedding day, Jimmy was responsive, personable, and committed to delivering the highest quality for our wedding day. Jimmy played acoustic guitar and sang at cocktail hour. His voice is so smooth and brought an amazing energy to the beginning of the party. He did a fabulous job introducing us and our wedding party into the reception. Jimmy did just the right amount of talking to keep the night running smoothly without doing too much!

We sent Spotify playlists to Jimmy before our wedding and he played so many of the songs we had on our list, but also added in his own songs that the guests loved and we would not have thought of! There were 4 songs on our “must play” list and I heard every single one.

Our guests had only the highest praise for Jimmy at the end of the night. The DJ and live music combo that he provides is incredible. Thank you, Jimmy, for making our wedding day unforgettable!

Absolutely Amazing!!

The best decision we could have made for our wedding was hiring Jimmy! From our initial meeting, we knew we made the right choice. He is so personable & you can tell he really cares about making the day special for you. Jimmy went out of his way to make sure we had every detail we wanted, including a special song in honor of my dad who passed away. If you’re questioning on whether to do the acoustic guitar during cocktail hour… do it! All of our guests keep raving about how amazing it was. Jimmy also knows what songs to play to reach everybody in the crowd. Thank you for making our day perfect Jimmy!!

Lutz Entertainment

I cannot describe how happy I am that we hired Jimmy to play our wedding. He is warm, incredibly responsive, and professional. He knows how to work a room and get people on to and, more importantly, stay on the dance floor. He executed our music choices flawlessly and it resulted in countless fun moments with friends and family that I will never forget and wish I could relive. We additionally had him play acoustic guitar at our cocktail hour and I would highly recommend having him do this. He is a skilled musician and it set a beautiful tone for the evening. Book Jimmy right now!

So glad we found him!

So glad we found him! It was a true pleasure to be able to work with Jimmy Lutz for our Hudson Valley wedding. He was a consummate professional from the start and immediately put us at ease, when we spoke with him while navigating the (overwhelming!) wedding planning process. Suddenly I felt like we had an ally in the process, who could help us along the way. His years of experience allows him to understand instinctually all the dynamics of weddings and events and to know what's needed when. He can "read a crowd" for sure! and knows there are people of all ages there to appeal to. He patiently reviewed all of our song ideas and listened closely to understand the type of event and feeling we were hoping to create. He was a great emcee too. Best of all- when I wanted to surprise my husband with an Elvis impersonator and to get our guests dancing to some fun songs together- picture a "kick line" to Sinatra's "New York New York"!, he shared lots of ideas to help make it happen successfully. It went off with out a hitch! And our guests can't stop talking about what fun the party was. He also provided us with a super helpful guide and song ideas for each step of the wedding and reception process and he was always available to take our questions. Jimmy was a vital member of our wedding team!

The best choice for your wedding!

Jimmy was the BEST! From the first email he sent, to spending so much time with us picking out our songs, offering wonderful suggestions and just really understanding the vibe we wanted to go with for our wedding day, he was the best choice we could have made. Our guests were blown away with the great mix of old and new, and the last song of the night just sealed it for everyone! Jimmy is such a personable, kind, and talented person, I would (and have) recommended him to other friends and people I know getting married. Jimmy provided the music for our ceremony, played acoustic guitar at our cocktail hour (AMAZING!) and was incredible at the reception. You will not be disappointed. We had nothing to worry about the day of our wedding :)

Hire This DJ!

Jimmy was so responsive from the start! We heard back from him right away. He was just as excited as we were about the music we wanted to play at our wedding. Our goals were to have special songs to us play during the ceremony, and to keep everyone on the dance floor all night! Jimmy played songs for every age group and the floor was packed with all of our guests even before the sun set and until last call. He was so considerate for our announcements, parent dances, reminders, and taking cues like a pro. He even approached us to make sure we were comfortable with certain details. He was a kind, considerate, music wizard, consummate professional. I cannot recommend him enough for your special occasion!!

Acoustic cocktail hour & Dancing all night to classics

My husband and I were fortunate enough to have worked with Jimmy Lutz for our wedding! Jimmy made himself available to answer questions and we were able to meet in person twice before the wedding. He is professional, patient and talented. I joked with Jimmy that my husband I are old souls and liked older music that our parents grew up on. I could tell from Jimmy's website that his taste in music was right up our alley. Steve and I wanted our night filled with classic rock and classic songs that all our guests could dance to. Jimmy could read the crowd and kept them dancing all night. Jimmy is also a very talented musician himself and sung classics like the Beatles, Elton John at our cocktail hour. This acoustic cocktail hour was unique and our guests loved it. The highlight of the night was when I asked Jimmy if my brother could perform karaoke of LA Woman. Jimmy didn't hesitate and provided my brother a microphone. Jimmy helped make our wedding night one we would never forget and we can't thank him enough.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Jimmy has been nothing short of fabulous to work with! I am a wedding photographer, and have worked with countless DJ's. Something that has always stood out working with Jimmy is that he is a musician. He loves what he does and the couples he works for, and that translates onto every dance floor. One of Jimmy's greatest talents is knowing how to use time. He doesn't always fill a lull in dancing activity with crazy music if the mood doesn't allow for it. He builds up to those moments strategically, and reads how his crowd is feeling. So when the crowd is moving they're really moving!! They feel the music he plays! It's refreshing to work with a DJ who knows how to respond to people's needs.

We have had the pleasure of working with Lutz Entertainment many times. Jimmy Lutz is fantastic DJ and we would highly recommend using his services. He never makes the party about him. It is always about the bride and groom and their guests, which is really important to some people. On top of him showing the bride and groom a good time, he is so easy to work with. When we need to coordinate timing for the night, he is always ready pen in hand to go through everything. If timing goes astray, he goes with it. We really love working with Lutz Entertainment!
