My husband and I knew that the best way to bring our families together for our wedding day was through music and dance. My husband's family loves country and pop music. My family likes Spanish and Persian music. We both like reggae. It was an impossible mix to put together... But DJ Dennis Jones did an amazing job!!! Everyone at our wedding loved the music and the variety! Dennis was easy to contact and communicate with; our meetings were very useful; we meet on Skype initially and then in person the days before the wedding; he was very friendly and fun to work with; his knowledge of his profession completely influenced our wedding; he must have spent hours putting together these different styles of music for it to come out and transition so smoothly. Our wedding planner suggested Dennis and it was definitely the best wedding decision we made. The cost was very affordable and the value of the service he provided was beyond our expectations. All of our guest raved about the how fun the music and dancing was all night. The dancing and music was what really brought our wedding together. Thank you so much Dennis! We appreciate all the work you did for our wedding and truly it was an unforgettable night!

Dennis you are amazing, truly an artistic genius with a knack of understanding a crowd and creating the most exciting and electric atmosphere. When we met Dennis we knew right away the passion and love he has for his profession is above and beyond. His dedication and creative abilities truly brings your wedding to life. Dennis was extremely easy to get in touch with and I always received a response right away. When we met with Dennis the ease of collaborating and the time he took to just get to know my husband and I meant so much. Dennis developed a plan to make our wedding a dream come true, he established a step by step timeline that fit everything we wanted. When it came time to establish a playlist Dennis helped me tremendously pick music that would appeal to all our family and friends. He observed the crowd and understood what songs made everyone get up and dance. Our family and friends danced the night away! Dennis created the BEST monogram for us, he added a special touch to our monogram in remembrance of how our journey began. It was so meaningful to us, it made us speechless. Our family and friends were amazed by the detailing. When it came to our dances, Dennis’s visionary skills are unparalleled, he uniquely designed each song so it would last the appropriate time and have the meaningful parts of the song played while we were dancing, the tempo was perfect and timing excellent. Dennis was extremely organized and on point during the entire wedding. Dennis was quick to take initiative and helped us pull off a spontaneous money dance perfectly. Dennis’s emceeing was beyond fun and up-lifting. We have received countless compliments from our family and friends of how incredible Dennis was. Simply stated Dennis made our vision for our wedding a reality. He was with us every step of the way, the value he provided was above and beyond everything we would have hoped for. Dennis is the only one I would refer and I highly recommend him!

Dennis was a real star. He came highly recommended by our wedding planner and our videographer. After reading his outstanding reviews online, we decided to book a consultation with him. Dennis' office was really cool - it gave us a chance to understand just how seriously he takes his craft. He impressed us with his technical skill, his lighting, the integration of his hardwear, and his personality. He is a very friendly, professional, and attentive DJ who knew how to keep the party going, but also how to represent an elegant event. Dennis made it a point to understand our vision of the wedding, our colors, our style, and our musical choices so that he could put together the right package for our needs. We ended up selecting a premium sound system with subwoofer (absolutely impressive!!!), 24 up-lights inside & outside on the patio, wireless audio for the cocktail hour, multiple wireless handsets, and a very sharp projection gobo to shine our wedding logo on the dance floor. The gobo process was fantastic - I sent Dennis a few of my personal ideas which he then photoshopped and edited into a truly professional logo that impressed all our friends and family. Dennis really delivered with the right musical choices we requested which ranged from modern pop, 80's anthems, Indian Bangra, and even acoustic flamenco style (during the cocktail hour). We really put Dennis to the test with regard to this wide range of styles, and he definitely delivered!

I really don't have enough great things to say about Dennis. He was polite & professional. He was not cheesy on the mic. He knew how to build excitement in the room. He kept people dancing all night. Dennis's hardwear, gear, and competency with creating a professional party experience was incredibly impressive. He really takes pride in the quality of his gear, and that quality was truly apparent to us and our guests. Finally - he really did deliver amazing music precisely to our taste.

I highly recommend DJ Dennis!

Dennis kept the dance floor packed all night! If you want great music, fun times, and a well choreographed celebration, then hire the Creative Music DJ! Dennis was very thorough, knowledgeable, and had great music selections. We weren't sure the exact type of music we wanted for our wedding, and Dennis walked us through having different playlists for each part of the day. His music selection was absolutely perfect and he was able to read the room and play the right songs all night. We had a total blast at our wedding and Dennis provided bespoke, personalized playlists. He was very flexible, responsive, and fun to work with. He even helped us edit specific songs for our first dances to make them just right. We greatly appreciate the personalized service that Dennis provided. We highly recommend Dennis for any of your music needs.

Dennis should get 1,000 stars! Our dance floor was packed all night. We kept getting comments from guests saying how they have never seen a DJ at a wedding work a room as good as he did. We're so lucky to have found Dennis Jones. He is clearly passionate about his work and is very articulate and detailed throughout the planning process which I really appreciated. And he was super nice and easy to work with. Look no further, this is your guy.

Dennis was a terrific DJ and MC! His style was exactly what we wanted. In terms of the MC, he was "non-cheesy," effective, and did a great job keeping us on schedule without us feeling hurried at all. We gave Dennis a lot of flexibility in terms of what music to play, with our goal to "keep people of all ages dancing," and Dennis absolutely delivered! We were really very happy to see people dancing the whole night. Not only young people, but Dennis was able to lure our older guests out onto the dance floor without losing the young guests. We had a number of people text us after the wedding to say how good the DJ was. Not only that, but he did manage to integrate nice personal touches into the playlist, something that is difficult to pull-off well, and was really impressive. Moreover, he was flexible and accommodating and easily accommodated a wedding folk dance from Southern Europe! So the music - amazing. The MC - really solid and great. We also had some uplighting, and that really added to the effect, really well done. All in all, Dennis was a fantastic DJ, he is super professional and organized, and he totally eliminated any stress in terms of organizing. His wedding prep sheet was quite helpful, do go through it in detail, and get it back to him early. If you can get Dennis as your DJ, you'll be lucky! -M & A, August 2015

We didn't have a huge wedding, but the people who were there enjoyed the music and the dance floor. Based on Dennis's previous reviews, we knew we were dealing with a pro. He is very thorough. He gives you a lot of information up front, then you fill out a worksheet which gets all the details and music you'd like to hear at your function. Dennis is truly there for your (the client's) benefit. He even gave us pointers and advice on certain hits related to planning. For any future occasions where we need a DJ, We definitely won't hesitate to contact Dennis again.

We were lucky to meet Dennis through our photographers and are so glad we trusted their referral! Dennis met with us from the very beginning and went through everything with us. It was so nice that he took that time and really made us feel like he cared. With all of his knowledge of music and friendly personality, we knew he would be a great DJ, and we were right! Dennis was spot on the entire night with the music that he choose. He did an amazing job and everyone had such a great time! We got many compliments from our guests about how much fun they had and how great the DJ was. We can't thank him enough for taking the time to get to know us and for such a great night!! We would recommend him a thousand times over!!

AMAZING DJ & Master of Ceremony!!! The music and up lighting was WONDERFUL!!! ALL of our guests were so impressed with Dennis' and his music, as they put it "DENNIS ROCKS". It was worth all the money we spent. Dennis guided us and put us at ease when we had a major glitch with the Caterer during cocktail hour and food not being ready on time and couldn't start the grand entrance on time. I would definitely hire Dennis again. I am so glad I found Dennis and so were my guests.

I have known Dennis for years now and worked with him at weddings and other functions. This guy is the real deal. I love how excited he gets about his work. I can tell you that I hold him as the golden standard when it comes to DJs. He works the turn tables like a pro and knows how to keep the party moving. I can't say enough about his company! The up lighting, music, video montages... the list goes on. To sum it up: AMAZING!
