I cannot recommend Jerry enough!

To say we never wanted our wedding night to end is an understatement. We haven’t stopped getting messages about how fun everyone had, even our grandparents couldn’t stay off the dance floor. Jerry’s skills were unmatched at keeping the energy going and making sure everyone was having a great time. His attention to detail made the day go so smooth there was not one hiccup. The ideas he brought to the table turned out great! We cannot thank and recommend his business enough to anyone!

Jerry! Jerry!

Jerry was an AWESOME DJ for our wedding! He is incredibly skilled at reading a room, and choosing songs to fit the vibe. This made planning much easier as we did not have to provide an extensive song list. My favorite thing about Jerry was all of the games he had up his sleeve! We wanted to keep the party going and he suggested ideas that made it seem like he had known us for years instead of just a couple of hours. Our family, friends, and even the venue staff commented on how much fun they had and how unique Jerry made our wedding.
Jerry took on several roles throughout the day: announcer, hype-man, comedian, and most importantly, a friend.
We highly recommend Prestige Worldwide Entertainment, but only if you want to have a great wedding.

Literally everyone was dancing—couldn’t have asked for better

Prestige was professional and gave us great tips on the sequence of the reception. He played great music and had everyone dancing. He had great dance ideas that were hilarious and had everyone laughing. Would absolutely recommend, no complaints.

Fantastic dj!

I would recommend Jerry to anyone for any type of event that needs a DJ. To begin, Jerry was very personable, down-to-earth, responsive, and understanding while helping us design our dream wedding timeline & music. He has a ton of experience and knowledge to offer. Every bride & groom are naturally nervous before the event and want to the night to run smoothly. Jerry led the way, blew us and our guests out of the water with entertainment, and made the entire night run perfectly. Thank you Jerry for being AMAZING at what you do!! We could not have had a more perfect wedding without you.

Such a wonderful experience

Jerry was a wonderful DJ! Not only did he entertain our guests, but he handled several unforeseen issues we had arise with grace and professionalism. I wish we could do it all over again, but thanks to him, we have great memories to look back on.

The dance floor was full all night long!

We loved having Jerry as our DJ. After our wedding we had family and friends of all age groups raving about how well all different genres and time frames were incorporated into the mix of songs. We ended up extending our time with Jerry because the dance floor was so busy and everyone was having SUCH a great time. Our wedding reception was a cold one (outdoors and 45 degrees) and we had 40-50 people still there for the music and dancing, even an hour late! We 10/10 recommend Jerry for your wedding!

We had a rocking party!!

Jerry is fantastic!! He was responsive, professional, listened to our preferences but then just did his thing! We didn’t have to do the work of creating a song list, just gave him the few songs we had picked for our special dances and that’s it! He did the sound for our ceremony, which was flawless, worked with our unique venue set up to make sure we had sound in several different locations, and our guests all said ours was the most fun wedding they had ever been to!! What a compliment!! I know that this is due to Jerry and his extensive experience!! He kept our party rocking and dancing and we all had a blast!! We can’t recommend him enough!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
