DJ Jess truly exceeded every expectation we had and MORE. From the meetings to prepare for our wedding and the communication / small gestures in between, she truly made our day incredible. She was prepared and takes pride in her art and it showed! People are still talking about our wedding and how great she was. I would recommend Jess to anyone who wants to have an amazing night filled with music, love, and laughs. -

DEFINITELY BOOK WITH JESS!! We recently booked Jess for our 2025 July wedding and we are so happy that we did! Her positivity and energy radiates through the room. Her planning and communication throughout the process makes you feel like she genuinely cares about your event and wants it to be incredible. This is a DJ that will personally curate your event by taking all of your wants and needs into consideration and using her own experience to ensure that its absolutely perfect. After one conversation, you'll feel like you've known her your whole life. From the moment guests arrived to the moment it was time for everyone to leave, both the music and MC'ing by Jess set the tone and made for the perfect experience. Her set had a wide range of genres and literally kept the dance floor packed from beginning to end. You can't match energy like Jess's. I would, without a doubt, book her again for any event that I want to be as memorable as our wedding!! -

DJ Jess is the absolute best in the biz in Pittsburgh. People started approaching me mid-wedding to tell me how amazing our DJ was. We were so picky about all of our vendors, and it really paid off. Jess is seriously amazing - I would recommend her to anyone. -

If you want a packed dance floor the entire night, then DJ JESS IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST-HAVE!!!
Beginning to end, Jess put so much care into the entire process - getting to know us, understanding our musical interests, and working in partnership with all of our vendors to curate the most impeccable vibes. She really has this art down to a science.
Jess was also extremely respectful to our highly diverse wedding, which included everything from religious blessings with elderly grandparents, to live entertainment from some of our favorite local drag performers (huge thank-yous to Max Starvania, Catty Wampus, and Daisy Oopsie!). Jess made sure every single guest felt comfortable and had fun. Every person had their moment in the spotlight, and our photographers (Tommy & Trey) had so many special memories to capture thanks to her work. The chemistry was so great that many of our guests thought we had known Jess for *years*. Thank you for making our wedding absolutely perfect.
-Love, Adam and Dylan -

Nick Sent on 07/06/2025The best dj of all time
If you need a DJ for any event, you HAVE to use DJ Jess. We had the absolute pleasure of having her DJ our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. She created the perfect atmosphere for our big day, and had the dance floor packed from beginning to end. The special thing about Jess is that she really wants to get to know you, and understand exactly what you want. Even from our first meeting, it was apparent that she wanted to understand us as a couple to make sure that she could create the wedding of our dreams, and she did just that. We also really enjoyed getting to know her as a person, and she was SO easy to work with. Super responsive, professional, friendly, and catered to every single thing we asked of her. She even created a special mix by secretly recording messages from some people in our bridal party and playing it over our final song to end the night. We will never forget it! We have received numerous complements about our DJ from the attendees at our wedding, and we can’t rave enough about Jess. If any of our friends are getting married, we automatically send Jess’s information to them because there really is nobody better. We can’t say enough good things about her, and would HIGHLY recommend using her for your event! -

I don't know how to even begin to talk about DJJess- enigmatic, resonant, uplifting, with the best vibes! DJJess just continually gave us the confirmation every step of the way that she was the correct choice for our wedding! We had met with a few DJs and almost gone with another choice, but ultimately it became clear through our process that we needed a professional, and DJJess was well worth the money. Every meeting, every email, and every moment spent with her from the jump was so intentional..she very clearly works to be up with the times, always, she accepts EVERYONE for who they are, as their FULL authentic selves, and she just loves love so it makes her connection that much more elevating of the space. DJJess proved to us that DJs can be about much more than just the music when they are experts at their craft- and in being more than just the music make the actual execution of the even that much more elevated, on point, and absolute perfection. DJJess was extremely responsive, tuned in, and locked into making OUR vision true to the fullest. It's clear she is so intentional in her work, in the number of clients she takes annually, to the types of check-ins she does with her couples, to the time she places into getting to know her people by getting to know their music. She flawlessly uses this to craft a dance space that brings everyone forward into the space-and not just for one dance, but multiple. She will even craft a perfect introduction that is created to exactly who you are as a couple- puns and all ( in the bestest of ways)! Beyond that, she is an amazing human who values the best in others, and will elevate you beyond just the time you spend with her as a vendor. HIGHLY recommend booking her, if you are blessed enough for her to cross your path!!!! -

DJ Jess made our dreams come TRUE!
Jess was the heartbeat of our wedding, and we couldn’t have asked for a more magical vibe! We met her at another wedding, and immediately knew she was meant to curate a portion of our own special day. She effortlessly wove our unique Halloween theme and eclectic taste in EDM music into a day full of playlists that kept everyone—from our family to our rave-loving friends—on the dance floor all night. She somehow knew exactly what the crowd needed, and her transitions were so smooth it felt like sorcery. Without hesitation and little coordination, she called out the groom (with DJ experience) for a surprise set appearance, which was a huge hit! Every moment was personalized to perfection, and her energy was pure joy. If you want a DJ who’s part musical gangster, part wedding wizard, and 100% amazing, DJ Jess is your gal! -

Madison Sent on 11/30/2024A Wonderful Person and DJ!!!
DJ Jess is amazing DJ, and a total awesome vibe of a human! My partner and I are huge music lovers, and wanted a bunch of not-typical wedding music for our wedding. The second we told Jess the vibe we wanted for the wedding, she was game. She did so much research into our style choices (lots of video game music), and custom remixed our most favorite pieces together! She was super communicative throughout the whole wedding planning process and honestly made our planning so very chill and extra fun. Jess also MC'd the wedding for us from start to finish, and knocked every detail and wedding party names out of the park. Her forms used to plan are so very helpful, and she's chock full of resources to help curate your music choices. She also does fun activities as part of her own unique process as often, or as little, as you'd like; like love and tarot card readings, which we just loved! Everything felt so catered to us, and we could tell Jess loves her job, and her clients, so very much. Cannot recommend DJ Jess enough!!! -

Sarah Sent on 11/05/2024Incredible DJ!
I had an incredible experience with DJ Jess, and I can't recommend her enough! From our initial consultation, we knew she was the perfect fit and didn't need to meet with any other DJs. Jess is sweet and genuinely cares about the love stories of the couples she works with. What I loved most about her is that she isn't a cheesy DJ; she stays up-to-date with industry trends and is always eager to try new things to create an authentic experience for everyone. She also uses an app that make it super easy for us to add the songs we want and do not want which streamlined the whole process.
Jess worked with us on custom mixes and took great care in curating a unique experience that perfectly matched our vision. She included sound bites from our favorite shows and movies, which added a personal touch that made the music even more special. Jess also helped me surprise my dad with three separate songs for the father-daughter dance, making that moment unforgettable.
We even got to know her better over dinner, and a few weeks later she did an intuitive love reading for us with Tarot, adding a special touch to our journey. Her dedication and passion for her work truly shine through, making her an exceptional choice for any event. Jess's professionalism, creativity, and genuine care for her clients make her stand out in the industry. If you're looking for a DJ who will go above and beyond to make your day unforgettable, DJ Jess is the one!

DJ Jess is so great! She's such a kind, genuine person and brings such a sweet energy to every interaction. She was thoughtful about the details of our programming and got everything the way we wanted it. She really took time to dig into our individual musical taste to make sure she was curating an evening that would feel true to us, and also be fun for our guests. As a DJ, she is also top notch! Smooth transitions, smart choices about timing, and great on a mic as a party mood guide. Such a fun night!! -

Where do I even begin? Jess is an absolute rockstar! From the moment we met her, we knew she was going to be more than just our DJ. Not only did she keep everyone on the dance floor all night long with an incredible mix of tunes, but she went above and beyond. When she handed me the headphones and let me DJ for a bit, I couldn't believe how fun she made the whole experience.
But that's not all, Jess was more than just our wedding DJ. At our first lunch meeting, we ended up having margaritas and chatting far beyond the scope of our wedding. It was like we were hanging out with our bestie.
The private last dance she suggested was the best decision we made. It allowed us to soak in every moment of the day. Then, when she had us take a moment to reflect on the day for a few minutes before we headed to our after party, it was like she knew exactly what we needed. We cried tears of joy, and it's a memory we'll cherish forever.
Jess isn't just a DJ; she's a heartwarming presence that elevates the entire experience.
Not only did she deliver an unforgettable evening, but she also became a friend. We're already planning future events just so we can have her incredible energy and talent with us once again.
Jess, you're not just our DJ; you're part of our story now. You're a gem, and we can't thank you enough. Thank you for making our day perfect in every way possible! -

Karlee Sent on 12/27/2023DJ Jess is a dream to work with
DJ Jess is the ultimate empath and has the innate ability to connect with her clients and audience to perfectly balance the emotion and energy of your day. Her process is so intentional from initial meeting to day-of event and she truly takes the time to get to know you beyond music preferences. She even invited us to share a meal together during the planning process so she could learn more about us AND our family and friends who were attending the wedding. She also offered to pull a tarot card to ground me during the chaos of wedding week and curated a special get ready playlist for my wedding morning; a true spiritual gangster. This focus on people and connection is what separates DJ Jess from the rest. Needless to say, DJ Jess brought the energy and our guests absolutely loved her! We had so much fun dancing the night away to all the goodness she was spinning. We highly recommend DJ Jess to anyone seeking a professional DJ to elevate their event [our friends already booked her for their 2024 wedding (; ]. -

My husband and I highly recommend hiring Jess for your wedding!! Jess did so much to make sure the music and day was exactly what we were aiming for and she surely delivered. Jess is not like any other DJ or vendor - she’s truly thoughtful and proactive AND also really good at spontaneous damage control. We had a delay/issue in the middle of our ceremony and she responded soooo well. If you care about good vibes then hire Jess! -

Drew Sent on 11/16/2023It Doesn't Get Better Than DJ Jess
I cannot say enough good things about DJ Jess. SO many of our wedding guests told us how much they enjoyed her. Even beyond just being a fun personality with great taste in music, she was so pleasant to work with, extremely well organized, and she showed a genuine interest in getting to know our story and what we wanted out of the big day. We are a bit theatrical, and we threw some fun curve balls her way, but she was fully on board and thrilled to help us make it happen just as we hoped. If you can get on her calendar, HIRE HER. Thanks for everything Jess! -

We couldn’t have asked for a better person to handle our wedding music than DJ Jess! Upon first meeting, we knew we had found the perfect musical collaborator.
Jess was attentive and detail-oriented. All of her forms and the client playlist portal were intuitive, and Jess was always sending helpful reminders as we moved along in our planning timeline. She even connected us with several other wedding vendors we loved working with!
Jess cares greatly about getting to know her clients and celebrating their unique qualities. In addition to the musical style survey and musical mood board she helped us create, Jess offered an Intuitive Love Reading and a pre-wedding Oracle card reading. These were really fun and gave me and my now-husband a chance to stop and reflect on our love and connection to each other- the reason we were even doing this!
At the wedding itself, Jess was so hyped for our party, which helped our frazzled nerves. Always a step ahead, Jess worked incredibly well with our planner and photographer to ensure we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Our guests loved her energy as emcee, said it was one of the most fun weddings they had ever attended. After dinner, Jess took our handpicked playlist and live-mixed it to a whole new level. It was perfect.
We are beyond grateful for DJ Jess and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone needing a wedding DJ who cares about you and your experience! -

DJ Jess is absolutely incredible from start to finish. We felt so connected to her from our very first call, to our meet-up, to subsequent calls and texts, to the wedding day. DJ Jess makes such an effort to personalize her business offerings to her couples. We knew our wedding day was in fantastic hands because we knew she gauged our likes, dislikes, and overall vision so well. We are absolutely thrilled and feel so lucky that we got to have her as a part of our day. She and her husband Riley facilitated memories that will last a lifetime for us. Our guests absolutely raved that she was the best DJ they've encountered. She carried the energy of the day with such expertise. DJ Jess is an incredibly special person and you need her on your team. -

The best decision you can make
Bringing Jess in for our wedding was one of the single best decisions we could have made. The professionalism and exceptional talent she brought to the day was some of the best I’ve ever seen. What’s even better is who she is as a person. We knew within the first few minutes of talking with her that she needed to be there with us. It’s rare to find someone who’s incredibly talented but also genuinely cares about you, your family and making your day the best it can be.
Her experience in the business is clear in every way. She knows exactly how to harness the energy of the room and bring your vision to life. She worked flawlessly with the rest of our planning team and took care of details behind the scenes that we were thankfully never aware of. She even pulled off a secret surprise during our last dance that blew me away and I’ll think about forever.
Our family and friends told us during and afterwards if was the best wedding they’ve ever attended and probably ever will. Jess played a major role in that. We’re glad to have began a friendship with her and can’t wait to hire her again.
If you’re on the fence, cancel the photobooth, get a less expensive cake or don’t invite the people who you’ll never see again. She’s worth every penny and more. Jess needs to be at your wedding. -

Kristen Sent on 09/01/2022Great DJ, fun and easy to work with
DJ Jess was a great MC for our wedding reception, helping us flow through the introductions then cake cutting and our first dance, etc. I never felt like I had to remember what came next because I knew she was organized and had it covered. My husband and I like a mix of country, 2000’s pop, and classic rock - Jess did a great job of including everything that we like and making it all go together nicely. The dance floor was packed all the way till the end of the reception at 11pm! I also got a lot of comments that my uncle was crushing it on the dance floor and he “hadn’t danced like that in 30 years” 😂 Speaks to the quality of the DJ haha!
Leading up to the wedding, Jess was very responsive, knowledgeable, and helped us a lot in planning the timeline for our reception. I would definitely recommend her to DJ your wedding. -

DJ Jess is AMAZING. She was the DJ for my June 2022 wedding and rocked the entire day. Not only can you tell she is clearly passionate about what she does but she was also amazing with communicating with us throughout the wedding planning process. She truly puts her energy and soul into her work and that is what makes her the best of the best! We are so happy we had her as part of our big day. It would not have been nearly as great without her! -

Kierra Sent on 11/14/2021Best DJ Ever!
Jess was our DJ for our October 2021 wedding and she was absolutely amazing! She was referred to me by a friend in early 2020 and she responded to my inquiry right away and after exchanging a few emails, I realized right away she was the perfect fit for us. Jess made the whole process so easy for us. She uses an app for you to list songs you want played (and songs you don’t) and allows you to answer questions about the ceremony and reception, like I said: super easy. We met with her about two weeks before the wedding and it felt like we had known her for years! Her vibe is so awesome and she makes your event feel like the most important thing in the world. She took the time to figure out our music style and created mashups of some of our favorite songs. As for our actual wedding: WOW! Our dance floor was packed the entire night because of Jess. There wasn’t a song she played that people weren’t loving. We got so many compliments because of her and she truly made our day that much better. I cannot recommended her enough. She’s everything you would want in a dj and more. -

Amanda Sent on 10/05/2021talented and fun DJ who listens
My husband and I are so glad we booked DJ Jess as our officiant and our DJ for our 50 person wedding in September at Mansions on Fifth. We had multiple meetings and conversations with Jess prior to the wedding to discuss details of the ceremony. The planning app she uses, Vibo, helped us to capture most of our requests in one place. She listened to all of our requests and incorporated them into the ceremony and reception. She even met our last-minute (morning of) requests with flexibility. Jess had a lot of suggestions based on the venue, and incorporated some things into the event that were so special to us, for example, we ascended the large staircase at the mansion during our "grand exit." Our friends and family lined the staircase, and we were met with high-fives and hugs as we left the dance floor. Jess was a great emcee, and she created the musical vibe we were looking for during cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing. The dance floor was never empty, and there was never a dull moment at our ceremony. -

Jess did my sister's wedding a few weeks ago and she was absolutely amazing!! She was so easy to work with and really took the time to get to know the bride and groom and their vibe. Jess made the wedding planning experience so much fun for me (the stressed Maid of Honor), and I felt relief knowing she would be there on the wedding day. Her music choices were on point and she mixed everything so well that our dance floor was packed the entire night! Jess, Thank you so much for being a part of The Orsi wedding! We couldn't have done it without you! As Cassie said to me today, "I wish I had a mini version of DJ Jess to keep in my pocket!" If you haven't booked a DJ yet for your wedding book Jess ASAP! -

Jess is the best in the business. She helped make my wedding day absolutely perfect. My entire wedding party and family is still raving about how amazing she was. She went above and beyond her normal job duties to help us with the processional and everything was flawless. Jess is kind, compassionate, intuitive, and super down to earth. She will do everything she can to make sure your day is absolutely perfect. She even made a sweet video recapping my wedding that I have probably watched 100 times. THANKS JESS YOU ARE THE BEST! -

Anna Sent on 04/28/2020"Electric" dance floor!
DJ Jess was the very first vendor we hired back in 2019. We felt a connection immediately as she described the overlap in our musical tastes, how she works off of the energy from our guests, and how we wanted to keep the dance floor packed during our reception. We provided her with a tall order - a lengthy list of artists and musical styles, with ideas of how the genres could progress over the course of the night. She killed it and once the sun went down we had the dance party we envisioned. We even had older relatives raving about how “electric” the dance floor was! We chose two first dance songs - one slow and one quicker. She went out of her way to develop a smooth transition between the two to get the timing just right. In addition to July 2nd she even DJed an epic virtual dance party for our friends and family on our original wedding date back in 2020. As big music fans, we couldn’t have asked for a better DJ, and all-around awesome person, to coordinate the soundtrack to our wedding. -

Jess is amazing, end of story. She kept the dance floor full with an insanely amazing playlist, kept our guests engaged, and also was flexible for all things, during the planning process and during the day and reception! We were running late? Fine! We wanted to do an impromptu terrible towel surprise for my husband? “Great! I’ll make an excuse to keep him away before announcing you in. “ She seriously made our wedding day the absolute best celebration is it could be with her talent, energy, creativity, and all around greatness. We had her do the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, and I would not change a thing. Her playlists are custom tailored for you, and it was a blend of both my husband's taste of music and my own.
As per my husband’s words, “she was straight up awesome!” She paid attention to every detail for songs, like asking if we wanted an abbreviated version of Simple Man for the mother-son dance. Both of us knew immediately she was the DJ for us. She is so thorough, communicates at any time we needed, answered all of our questions, and helped us have some cool up lighting and smoke last minute to our reception. 20/10 would make any celebration incredible. -

We chose DJ Jess for our wedding last October because she was really laid back and accommodating, but she was also super organized and professional! She was 100% dedicated to making sure she played the music we wanted to hear (or really didn’t want to hear) on our special day, while mixing it up and throwing in some really great unexpected stuff. She was an awesome MC as well—kept us on schedule, pumped up the crowd when it was needed, and made sure my husband and I were happy. I couldn’t recommend her more for a wedding or any other event you’re planning! -

Best DJ on the planet (or at least in western PA, MD area)
Hire DJ Jess for your wedding reception. You will never regret it. She's so amazing. Where do I begin... she walks you through everything in an organized way; she learns about you, who you are and what you're looking for; she's open to all kinds of music and curates a mix of styles beautifully. I want to have another party so I can dance for 4 hours straight again! -
