Mr & Mrs Heckstall

DJSmellGud did an excellent job providing music at my wedding this Saturday. All of my guest were on the dance floor all night. His services did not stop at music he also provided a beautiful monogram and light show.

Absolutely Incredible DJ experience

SmellGud Productions made our wedding reception a dream! The music was absolutely perfect, and they also brought the vibes and good energy which every couple needs on wedding day. Me and my wife’s wedding had a very diverse group a people and the DJ just was absolutely phenomenal. The Dj had all aged up on the dance floor having the time of their life. Sound system was incredible. Lastly the communication was top tier. Response time is super fast and efficient! I would recommend him to anyone getting married that wants the best DJ around 👌

The Wedding was everything I could imagine

I have know this DJ SmellGud for a longtime and not once has he disappointed me DJ. The options he has with his other services served the rest of my guest as well with the lighting and the Photo Booth. I couldn’t be more happy to have celebrated this occasion with the services they provided but also just to see everyone dancing and enjoying the booth as well. I can’t thank you enough and look forward to any other events I may have

Brings the wedding to life

Jessie and smellgud productions were great! We hired them for our wedding and they produced everything they said they would and more. Jessie came early so that he was well prepared for when the guest arrived. And from the time the ceremony started, to cocktail hour, to the reception he had the music flowing. Which really sets the tone for the event. Other things that stood out was his communication and flexibility with us. Also the photo booth was lit! Smellgud productions is Highly recommend!

DJ SmellGud was EVERYTHING That We Could Have Asked For!

SmellGud Productions was recommended to me by my wedding planner and I have to say that hiring Jessie was definitely one of the best decisions that I could have made for my big day.
The first word that comes to mind when I think of Jessie, DJ SmellGud, is heart...because that is what he puts into every aspect of his craft. It is present in every level of his professionalism, his attentiveness, his punctuality, and his blazing personality and style!
Initially, I hired Jessie to DJ at my wedding reception, but when my ceremony music plans went awry, I called Jessie in a bit of a panic and asked if he would be willing to orchestrate the music for my wedding ceremony as well. "Absolutely" was his response with zero hesitation. And then when I asked if he could be there the day before my wedding for the ceremony rehearsal as well, he promptly said "Just name a time and I'll be there 30 minutes early to set up."
Jessie was "All In" from day one and he continued to impress me with his eagerness, excitement, and desire to help make my wedding the most special day of my life. His communication was continually outstanding and he made me feel very comfortable in sharing my exact needs and visions for my wedding day. He went above and beyond to ease the stress of a nervous bride by meeting with me in person and speaking on the phone with me several times to discuss music genres, reception game possibilities, and even a special surprise dedication.
The day of the wedding, Jessie showed up looking every bit the part of a professional DJ in a nice, well-cut suit, an infectious smile, and sparkling attitude. I had given him a variety of songs from different decades that I had picked out for my wedding Ceremony that in no way would ever be considered cohesive(lol), but Jessie somehow managed to blend them together seamlessly for my ceremonial walks and there wasn't a dry eye there even before we had a chance to say our vows!
Jessie instinctively knew how to balance the musical atmosphere perfectly for the intimacy of my wedding ceremony, the elegance of my reception dinner, and finally to the exciting vibe of the after dinner party. His enthusiasm was contagious and his music transitions were spot on. He kept my guests engaged and on the dance floor until the very last minute! I can not say enough wonderful things about Jessie. He was an integral part of my special day and my wedding would not have been the same without his heart and his ability. Thank you Jessie! You exceeded every one of my expectations. Hire him immediately! You will not be disappointed! And if you ask nicely, he might divulge the sentimental way that he got the name SmellGud! :)
P.S. I also hired DJ SmellGud to play at my 50th birthday party celebration just a month after my wedding. Once again, he performed spectacularly for my friends and family and we had a fabulous time! Thanks again DJ SmellGud! You're the bomb and I can't wait to work with you again in the future!

And They Danced the Night Away

Jessie was contracted to DJ a wedding I planned in December. From the start, he was very communicative both on the phone and in multiple personal meetings. He carefully recorded the thoughts, ideas, vision and choices that my bride relayed to him. The day of the wedding he showed up looking like a celebrity and set up his equipment promptly and without prompting. The ceremony was seemingly effortless and he far exceeded the expectations of my bride. The reception was a distance from the ceremony space although on the same property. Jessie set up inconspicuously and quickly and transitioned the guests into cocktail hour. During the reception, Jessie literally could not have shined any brighter! He engaged the guests during the planned ceremonial gestures including the toasts, the announcement of the bridal party, the tossing of the bouquet and garter and he was a regular Alex Trebeck during the coveted shoe game! But wait, he was just getting started! During the periods allotted for guest dancing, Jessie had impeccable choices, cool additives, and perfect transitions so that the guests could freely dance in sheer celebration. The pictures tell it all. The dance floor was packed, people were letting loose, and memories were cemented. By the 10pm departure time, a large chunk of guests and bridal party members were on that dance floor still, singing at the top of their lungs to Jessie’s selections, and they were all but begging not to have to stop the party that had transcended a normal wedding reception. It was a remarkable sight! Jessie packed his things efficiently and issued his goodbyes after a long day’s work. He was so much the “right man for the job” that my bride hired him again to play music for her 50th birthday party. I wholeheartedly recommend Jessie, not just because he is amazing at his job but his professionalism, candour, attitude and spirit superseded even my wildest expectations. He made my job easy and enjoyable and he gave my bride the night that she had been imagining for the entirety of her life. Booking Jessie is a no-brainer. Take my word for it. I work with so many different vendors and he just blew my mind with the service he provided. You won’t be sorry here.

Amazing experience! Book him!

Jessie was absolutely amazing to work with! We got married on the beach and everyone was able to hear us, which I know is typically a problem. I had so much fun picking out the reception music and with all the bumps in the road, Jessie just rolled with it. Book him, you won’t regret it!

Absolutely incredible!!

15/10 recommend
Listen y’all, hands down best DJ! I’ve been to lots of weddings and Jessie is absolutely the best. He worked with our budget to make sure we got exactly what we wanted and customized it to exactly what we wanted. I was so behind all the wedding stuff and ended up messaging THE DAY OF for most of our songs and he was super calm and kind and made sure it all happened exactly the way we wanted. He picked all the songs during the reception and it was amazing. All of our guests commented on how amazing the music was even with the WIDE arrangement of people there with different music tastes! Will add more pictures when available but the lighting was awesome!!
