    Kept the party going

    Loved working with Jimmie for our wedding reception. He kept the dance floor full all night. We wanted our guests to have a good time, and he helped us achieve this. Good variety of music played throughout the night. Would recommend in the future.

    Magic mirror

    We used Jimmis magic mirror and it was such a hit with our wedding guests! It was so much fun to have a different type of photo booth available for the guests! We were able to get a copy of them so we can blackmail our friends 😝💕. Thank you so much Jimmie for making the guests have so much fun!

    We could not be happier with Exceptional Receptions for our wedding day! Jimmy was always responsive, professional and very easy to work with. We planned our wedding from another state and truly appreciated Jimmy's responsiveness and attention to details. He listened to our requests and gave excellent suggestions. A total pro! We got multiple compliments on the music and lighting, and the photo booth was a huge hit with our guests. Jimmy helped make our day smooth and stress free. We cannot recommend Exceptional Receptions enough!

    Jimmie is seriously THE. BEST. I don't usually take the time to leave reviews on sites but am writing one because he was so great and because I know how helpful reviews were in our wedding planning process. My now husband and I carefully selected every song for every moment of our wedding day and Jimmie did a spectacular job making cuts/mixes of everything and making each moment and its music come to life. He also just had super great service throughout the process. He was extremely responsive, had a meeting and several phone calls with us at times that suited us, etc. As a young engaged couple we had no clue how you're really supposed to structure anything about a wedding day and Jimmie helped us organize and walk through everything about the timeline, his recommendations, was very honest with us about what to do and not do, etc. It was SUPER helpful as we didn't have an actual wedding planner, and I always felt less stressed out after talking to Jimmie and hearing his thoughts. He also used a format that we preferred for our (very specific) song selections (and list of all the songs we hate ha) and was just overall super accommodating and helpful. Last but not least, the dance floor was packed ALL NIGHT thanks to his mix of songs, AND - and I still don't even know how he did this - he made this beautiful mix of our vows overlaid onto a favorite song of ours (our second pick for a first dance song) that he played toward the end as a surprise. It was SO special and I'll remember that moment, along with all of the other dancing and fun, forever. Thank you Jimmie!!

    Everyone loved the Magic Mirror! The album was a great replacement for a guest book and a fun way to have the guests write a little note to the bride and groom! Jimmie was great to work with too!

    I have to say, when we finally decided on Jimmie for our DJ services, we weren't totally sure what to expect. We were going back and forth with other DJs who were a little cheaper, but decided to go with him and we could not be happier! We did not just get a DJ, we got a service that made our reception one of the best ever! We've been to weddings where the DJs were terrible and it truly has a major affect of the atmosphere. No one was dancing. The only thing I remember from those weddings is the terrible music. We've gotten more compliments on our DJ than any other aspect of our wedding. One friend told me she didn't stop dancing for 3 hours and that she hasn't danced that much in years!

    First off he is extremely organized. He created a web login where we could add music, dedications, do not plays, etc. He skyped with us several times to make sure he got every detail right. His music choices were perfect. He did not interject too much and kept the flow of the party the entire night. He used our logo (from our invitations) and was able to project it above our bar which everybody thought was really neat. The video love story was something we weren't totally on board with, but decided to just go for it. After we filmed it, we were both nervous to see it (especially in front of 160 people), because neither of us love being on camera. His editing was amazing! Everyone absolutely loved it, including us! My mom was in tears. People said they had never seen anything like it and it made the night memorable for them. He was fantastic and we cannot say enough great things! He even worked with our photographer and they were able to get photos from our ceremony from that same day up in our slide show! It was so neat! Thank you so much for all your hard work! You made our reception a blast and people are still talking about it today, almost a month later! According to our guests, our wedding was dubbed one of the best many had ever been to! :)

    Jimmie was fantastic! He was able to guide us through the process and was very flexible. He's very professional but also knows how to have a good time. Thanks, Jimmie!

    He was our DJ and provided the photo booth service.

    Jimmie was absolutely awesome! He listened to everything we wanted and knew exactly what to do to bring it to life! He worked with us to customize a package that was perfect for us, even making us a pumpkin monogram that fit our theme perfectly! He listened to what music we wanted to have and what music as not allowed! He was very quick to answer every question I had, which while planning a wedding can put you at ease! Our introductions for our bridal party were awesome and still get complimented on them. He puts in the time and effort and really works with you to make your wedding what you want! I'm so glad we got
    Recommendations for him, he was well worth it!

    Jimmie at Exceptional Receptions was a dream to work with from the very start of the wedding planning process until the day of our wedding. He was very helpful in areas that we were clueless in. Extremely professional, organized, curtious and prompt with answering questions and getting back to us. He knew how to keep the party going when things started to slow down. I would definitely recommend him, and would use him again in a heartbeat.

    Jimmie was amazing!! He put together a wonderful love story that we thought we did not want to use because we both felt we did awful. He played slide shows of pictures all night long. The whiskey barrels he let us rent fit perfectly into our country themed wedding. The mirror photobooth and his dj services is what kept the party going all night long!! I would recommend jimmie malone to make your night as special as ours was!

    Jimmie was amazing to work with and he made planning the music and lighting for our wedding incredibly easy. We let Jimmie know that we were doing a Sunday wedding to help save on costs, and he worked us to give us exactly what we wanted. We didn't have too much thoughts on what music we wanted, and Jimmie gave us lots of suggestions. In the end, we picked a few key songs and asked him to use his experience to provide the rest. Our wedding went flawlessly, and I was able to go worry free as Jimmie basically took the timeline into his own hands, and executed it to perfection. Incredibly flexible and easy to work with; highly recommended if you want a worry free wedding with great music and lighting!!

    Jimmy was a great D.J. The moment the dance floor opened up all of our guests were dancing and they didn't stop! Jimmy does a great job recognizing what gets your guests moving and will quickly change a song if your guests start leaving the dance floor. Only once a song came on that disinterested our guests and he mixed in a song that turned everybody around and headed back to the dance floor. Jimmy personally doesnt do much talking or entertaining he simply lets the music do it's job!

    If you're looking for the finishing touch to your big day, look no further! Jimmy is absolutely amazing. I couldn't picture our wedding without him. We used Jimmie for the entertainment at our wedding in August. He was very professional and very helpful throughout the entire planning process. The lighting and special effects that he offers is wonderful. We loved the monogram that he created for us, the picture slideshows, the way that his uplighting syncs with the music, and we can't forget the dancing on a cloud! We received SO MANY compliments about Jimmie. He preformed an ice breaker at the beginning of the reception, everyone said it was a blast and that they had so much fun. I am so happy with our decision to go with him and we would recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ and special effects for their wedding. Thank you, Jimmie!

    Jimmie just recently DJ’d our July 2016 wedding. His planning tool and attention to detail showed that he knows what he’s doing- so helpful during the wedding planning process. Beyond that, on wedding day we had a rocking time! He took the songs we requested and the energy from our guests and mixed such a fun dance set our guests had the best time! We were on the dance floor the entire evening. We highly recommend Jimmie for your future events! He will not disappoint!

    One of the best DJ's in the Binghamton area! Not only provided music, but also entertained, kept the vib up all night, as well as did a fantastic job putting together our love story, created our first dance, as well as put on an amazing slide show! Thanks to Jimmie for keeping the energy levels high on the dance floor as well as providing Hollywood Style Photobooth that was a huge success! The full package with the uplighting and EVERYTHING is worth every cent since Jimmie will go above & beyond to make your wedding a fairy tail for any bride!! Our wedding would not have been the same with out him, we had nothing but complements on the dj and what he provided! OUR DAY WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING due to the BEST DJ in the area!!!

    AMAZING! Jimmie Malone was absolutely the best DJ we could have asked for. He provided music, lighting, a photobooth, and some photo/video services. He created the most beautiful love story video that brought all of our guests to tears (including my best friend who never cries!). He gave us a lot of attention, answered all of our emails very quickly, and easily made some last minute changes at our request. We are so grateful to him; he made our day so special!!
