    So kind, so easy to work with, so talented!! Win, win, win!

    Jay was incredible to work with for our wedding. He was so accommodating, so kind, so talented, and NOTHING rattled him at all throughout the planning process or on the day of the wedding. He helped us feel at-ease, and played a wonderful mix of music that kept the dance floor active all night and appealed to many generations. I am so grateful to have worked with Jay!!!

    If you want guests on your dance floor...

    Look no further than Jay Foss for your DJ needs! Jay is professional, enthusiastic, charming, and organized. For our wedding, we had many specific music requests and Jay honored all of these. He even allowed us to share Spotify playlists with him to pull from for different parts of the night (i.e. cocktail hour, dinner, reception).

    Through the entire planning process, Jay offered insightful feedback, knowledgeable suggestions, and much needed affirmations for a couple planning their wedding. He arrived early on the day of and accommodated all of our needs and requests. Everyone was on their feet the entire night and we are so grateful for his services. We cannot recommend Jay enough!

    Not just a DJ, a full experience

    What can I say about Jay besides "WOW". I had wonderful service from all of my vendors and still, I was blown away by the service given to us by Jay. Instead of just providing us with music on our wedding night, he made sure to build a relationship with us and cater every aspect of his services solely to us. Meeting with him made it feel like you were the only client he was working with and he really made you feel cared for and appreciated. He was wonderful during covid, working with us to move our date seamlessly, and met with us multiple times to create a custom first dance song, complete with private interviews with my husband and me that was a surprise to hear for both of our guests and us as a couple. People told us they teared up at our first dance and that it was the best first dance they had ever seen because of the wonderful work Jay did. He stepped up and performed duties that weren't even required of him, like making sure we stuck to our timeline and got announcements that needed to be made to our guests. Jay really carried to vibe of the party on his own by playing a wonderful mix of music for all age groups at my wedding and kept the dance floor full all night. Besides professionalism and expertise, he's just a good guy and such a joy to work with. I am recommending him to everyone I know getting married!!

    The most amazing Wedding DJ

    When we started planning our wedding, it was a no brainer who we wanted to hire as our wedding DJ. He had been the DJ for my sister in law, and we saw how incredible he was, and wow did he prove us right! Words can't express how special and talented this guy is. He was our best vendor, and went above and beyond our expectations. He wanted every detail to be personalized, and truly get to know us. We met with him about 4 times during the planning process, he was so loyal to us throughout covid cancelations and replanning, he was responsive, respectful, funny, caring, and I loved every single song he played. All of our wedding guests were non stop dancing. Last but not least, the personalized song he created for us was beyond anything we could have imagined. He truly impressed us, and brought all our guests to tears and laughter. Thank you, Jay.

    Customize Your First Dance with Jay!

    We are so glad we hired Jay Foss to DJ our wedding. Prior to the reception, we met up with him and he interviewed us to customize our first dance song. We were interviewed separately and he cut our voices into the song we picked out. It was a surprise to our guests and to us (we never heard the final cut!). All our guests commented how original the first song was and how they had never seen anything like it. If you are looking to do something special for your first dance, hire Jay.

    Jay Foss is the DJ you want to work with!

    When my husband and I were first starting out planning our wedding, we weren't planning on having a DJ. But through a recommendation from a good friend, we reached out to Jay. After the first meeting, we were convinced that we'd love to have him DJ at our wedding, which I believe says magnitudes. Jay was so flexible with our schedules and also what we were looking for, which might deviate from the traditional wedding. He's extraordinarily empathetic, collaborative, and it was such a pleasure to work with him. He's very communicative about the process, knowledgable and willing to give advice when needed, and come the big deal- Jay was able to read the room and alter music choices based on reading the crowd's mood, a huge talent that we don't think should go unacknowledged. We loved working with Jay. He made us at ease and we cannot recommend him enough if you are considering him.

    Not a dry eye in the house!

    There aren't enough words to express our gratitude for Jay! We learned about him through a mutual friend and after hearing her beautifully personalized first dance I knew we needed to book him. From our first meeting at Jaho and the subsequent year and a half following, Jay was available to talk about every detail, answer any questions, and ensure our vision was brought to life throughout our day. He focused on us as a couple and what our intention was for the day (to have a memorable event which was upbeat and fun just like our relationship)! We were so nervous to record our voices for our first dance, but Jay's calm demeanor and ability to interview us about each other was seamless! Our vision was executed perfectly, our first dance was everything we could've dreamed of and more (not a dry eye in the house), and our guests never left the dance floor! If you are looking for a DJ who will not only be your MC for the night, but your friend throughout the process, a calming voice when you need it and someone who will go above and beyond to ensure your day is JUST as you pictured, Jay is your guy!

    Jay is a rockstar!

    Jay is absolutely fantastic at what he does. We met a few times prior to the wedding because Jay really like to get to know the couple he is working with. He makes you feel at ease and wants to ensure that he makes your wedding unique and exactly what you want. In addition, his unique add-on (which I won't give away online) is so special and leads to some very special/intimate moments. I would recommend Jay to everyone! Thanks so much Jay, we really loved working with you.

    Jay is amazing. He was super helpful and accommodating, especially considering we were planning from the other side of the country. He's done a lot of events, so he has some great ideas on how to arrange, coordinate, and execute many things, and his main goal is creating a special, unique event tailored to those at the center of it. I cannot possibly recommend him enough; he's fantastic.

    Jay is an absolutely AMAZING DJ who went above and beyond for our wedding! He is creative, organized, and easy to work with. During the year we planned our wedding, Jay was available to us through e-mail, phone calls, and text. What makes Jay special is his interest in genuinely getting to know you, your story, and how he can help make your wedding or event a day to remember. Jay went above and beyond with his willingness to meet in person to discuss and coordinate the wedding. Throughout the whole process, we knew we were in good hands and we felt like we were his number one priority. Jay has a great website that allows you to stay organized by creating a custom profile of the day’s timeline, wedding party info (names, pronunciations), and music list selection. Our goal was to have the best dance floor and Jay delivered! He used our music list of “must play” and “do not play” perfectly while feeling out the crowd and keeping the dance floor alive all night. Jay’s creative genius was on display as he created us a custom first dance song! We received SO many compliments on how lively our dance floor was and how special our first dance was. We HIGHLY recommend Jay to anyone looking for a DJ for a wedding or event. He is the ultimate professional who will not let you down!

    Jay was very professional and made every effort to ensure our Wedding Ceremony and Reception went smoothly. From the sound equipment to the mics and hours spent getting to know us, everything was well thought out and planned. Our first dance was memorable and personalized and we are still getting compliments on it! Throughout the entire process he made himself available to questions, suggestions or comments. The song selection and taken requests were a big hit with us and our families! We would highly recommend Jay!!

    Jay was amazing! We could not have asked for anyone better! My husbands sister used him at her wedding and we thought he was awesome. He takes the time to get to know you as a couple which is nice. I called other djs before deciding on Jay and some of them weren't even going to meet with us. Jay is the next level! If you are looking for a dj you will not be disappointed with him!

    I can describe Jay and his services in one word--amazing!! From our first meeting with him we knew he was the guy for our wedding. Jay was 100% committed to making sure our day was all about us. He was very receptive to our ideas and our song choices, plus he was open to requests from our guests during the reception, which they loved. Everyone was dancing all night! And the custom first dance was the highlight of the evening--not a dry eye in the house. Highly recommend using Jay and his services, you won't be disappointed!

    The process of working with Jay was amazing from start to finish. My husband and I first met Jay for our initial meeting at Starbucks. Jay made us feel comfortable immediately and he was very easy to talk to. We made a plan with some ideas we had and Jay showed up some examples of his very special and unique first dance songs. Although we loved the examples, my husband and I were still hesitant because we loved our first dance song so much and didn't want to miss any parts of it. After further discussion through email, Jay convinced us to give it a go. A few weeks later Jay came to our house, met our dogs, bought us some beer and we began the interview process. Jay made us feel like we were having a conversation with a friend we've known for years. At the end of each of our individual interviews we got to be alone speak to each other into the microphone he had set up. I was nervous to hear the final product, but also super excited for the unique twist on our wedding day. Leading up to the wedding day my husband and I sat down and go to choose our must play, would like to hear and our do not play list on Jay's website. We also were in constant contact with him, which included Jay driving 50+ minutes to the venue to meet us on a random day just because he wanted to check out the space since he had never been there before. I also very last minute decided I wanted music and a microphone outside for the ceremony and Jay was able to accommodate the change without any problems. Once our wedding day finally arrived and we started our first dance I was so happy Jay convinced us to the first dance song his way. We laughed, we cried and I heard the sweetest message from my husband, which was even more special because we did not write our own vows. To this day I listen to and share it with anyone looking for a wedding DJ. I would highly recommend Jay Foss to anyone looking for an amazing DJ experience for their wedding day!

    Jay was our MC and DJ during our reception for our wedding in May 2016. We were so impressed by his professionalism and organization. He met with us prior to the wedding so he could get to know us and our style. He accommodated all our needs and made valuable suggestions for the order of events. We were grateful to be able to enjoy our wedding reception without worrying about anything. We couldn't recommend him more highly!

    Jay was an incredible asset to my team of vendors. He took the time to get to know us and our personalities, he made sure that we created special, unique moments for our wedding. He was always quick to respond, helpful and had a wonderful understanding of how things work. He was our go to guy. Jay made the wedding run smoothly, he had the floor packed all night and was flexible for all those snags and time issues that happen during a wedding. Jay was incredible and we highly recommend him for anyone getting married!

    Jay Foss is a phenomenal DJ. We had the chance to see Jay DJ our friends wedding, and we knew right away that Jay was also the DJ for us. Jay made the beginning of the planning process so easy. He was great to communicate with, and scheduled meetings based on our preferences and availability. Right from the start Jay was personable, kind, and we could tell that he was very serious about what he does. A genuine guy overall. He began with the simple stuff, but along the way brought up ideas and asked us questions that we hadn't even thought about, but that he knew were important. Jay's online webpage and database made the planning process easy as well. With the click of a button we could pick and chose from songs and plan out our wedding timeline.

    In our meetings, Jay made sure we were progressing with the planning accordingly. Jay took his time to really get to know us as well and always put our needs first. He put his heart and soul into every little detail there was. The personalized first dance is something that we had never seen before, but Jay made us so comfortable during the interview process, and it turned out perfect. Our guests were so surprised and loved that special touch. Jay even remembered little things that we brought up in our meetings and incorporated them into our night, including a song that wasn't our first dance, but we mentioned it was special to us. When we heard it play, we were both so surprised and touched!

    If you're looking for the best wedding DJ out there, Jay is the one.

    Thanks Jay!
    Anne and Matt

    Jay was definitely the right choice for a DJ for our wedding. He made planning easy, he had many great ideas and suggestions based on his extensive experience. He met us several times before the wedding to get to know us, usually over a friendly cup of coffee. On the day of our wedding, Jay consistently checked in with us to see how things were going, but was never interfering; it was clear that he wanted to make our day exactly how we wanted it. Jay is simply an exceptionally friendly and professional DJ who is wonderful to work with. We wanted a mix of music to appeal to a wide range of ages, which Jay delivered, and all of our guests had a blast! We can't thank him enough!

    Jay was the perfect DJ from start to finish! He was extremely friendly, professional, organized, and easy to work with. His website was fantastic and he made the planning process a breeze. We lived out of state but Jay was always available through FaceTime, email and phone. Not only was he fantastic for us to work with, but the other wedding vendors loved him as well! Our event coordinator stated that Jay could easily be a wedding planner! He worked with us on the wedding timeline and ensured that everything ran smoothly. He had creative ideas on how to make our reception unique and fun! The music he choose during the wedding had everyone dancing from start to finish. We had a wide range of ages and musical taste at the wedding. He was able to find music that everyone loved! And if you are lucky, you may even get to see some of his killer dance moves! If you are looking for a dj, look no further! I truly believe DJ Jay Foss is the best there is!

    Jay was an amazing DJ! We had nearly 300 guests at our wedding and he actively kept everyone entertained. He played an amazing blend of music both consciously back-to-back and overall. He even dealt with all of our cultural music requests. He created a custom first dance track by interviewing us ahead of time and surprised us with the content over the song on the day of the wedding. We were very happy with Jay's talents at both the ceremony and reception! He was extremely easy to communicate with and a pleasure to work with!

    It was truly a delight to work with Jay Foss and Andrew Holden at every step of the process. The planning meetings were thorough and efficient - Jay and Andrew posed lots of thoughtful question from an event planning perspective that made the reception flow smoothly the day-of. We especially appreciated their easy-going approach and willingness to listen to input (and offer expert insights when needed!). Thank you so much for making the wedding fun and getting our guests out on the dance floor!

    Jay is the best! No doubt about it. My husband, Dave, and I worked with Jay on our August 2015 wedding. Jay was extremely accommodating, even traveling up to our home in Maine to meet with us. He wanted to make sure the vibe and atmosphere of our special day was exactly what we wanted.

    I was blown away by all of Jay's ideas. He clearly knows the industry and wants to offer his customers the best. Not only did my husband and I get a fantastic music package, but we worked with Jay to engineer a beautiful lighting arrangement, complete with a special moniker above our sweetheart table.

    Jay is patient, kind, and 100% genuine. He wants you, the customer, to be happy with everything. Believe me, my husband and I were thrilled with everything Jay contributed to our special day. I don't want to give too much away, but I will say that Jay does something absolutely amazing with a couple's first dance. He had my husband and I (and many of our guests!) in tears- happy tears!

    Jay Foss is not just a fantastic DJ, but also a wonderful human being. I would recommend him to anyone!

    Thanks for the glowing review Katie! You're too sweet...I appreciate your kind words and I'm glad to hear that you are thrilled with all of the moments we created together. I will be in touch soon with your copy of the first dance. The moniker looked fab...great choice on your part!

    If you’re looking for a DJ, you can stop now.

    Jay did a phenomenal job as the DJ at our wedding. We have had so many people ask us who our DJ was so they could use him — and even more people tell us how much fun they had on the dance floor.

    Jay was easy to work with and 100% on top of things. He was completely organized and helped us feel relaxed knowing everything he was involved with would be executed to perfection. Our wedding planner was 'wowed' by his flow of the events throughout the entire evening.

    And the music. He nailed it. Our evening was exceptional because of the vibe he brought to the dance floor. From smoothly Emceeing our event to nailing the perfect songs at all the right times, Jay was consistently on point.

    None of those awkward pauses — none of those songs that empty the dance floor — none of those grimace moments where you wonder where this guy came from.

    We wholeheartedly recommend Jay to everyone we know. He is truly the best.
