    Made our ceremony a fairytalw

    John is awesome. He is passionate about his work and made our wedding reception and ceremony dreamy with the lighting! He is very knowledgeable about lighting and can make your dream come to life. He is very busy with events but was always responsive via phone. We felt like he did an amazing job for a good value.

    John Made My Lighting Dreams Come True!

    As someone in events, I swear by lighting and John made every wish list item imaginable a possibility for us. He was responsive, flexible, and knew exactly what I needed and wanted. The photos don't do it justice but the lighting was perfect. Our guests loved the twinkly lights in our outdoor cocktail hour space. On the way to reception, they loved walking along a path with the little torch lights and uplit trees. Our reception looked beautiful with the twinkly lights and stunning gobos over the main dance floor. John is amazing and I can't recommend him enough. Run, don't walk, to book him!

    Gorgeous ceiling lighting!

    JMW Entertainment helped make our gorgeous reception ceiling! They were very easy to communicate with and took care of everything. All I had to do was tell them which style lights we wanted and that's it! They hung the lights the morning of the wedding and came back to take them down after the wedding. Our ceiling was my favorite part of our reception!

    JMW Lighting at the Old Mill in Media

    We used JMW for lighting at our wedding at the Old Mill in Media. JMW was very responsive and easy to work with. They provided beautiful string cable lights for our reception. It was the perfect addition to the room and we highly recommend them. They have 3 options for ceiling lighting and all are beautiful. Dancing under those lights was a highlight of the day!

    Exceptional Experience!!

    Highly recommend!! John and JMW Entertainment totally pulled through for my September 2020 wedding! My husband and I originally hired JMW to DJ and assist with audio. Due to COVID, we had a last minute change of plans which entailed moving our ceremony and reception to my in-laws backyard. John was super accommodating, willing to chat or meet whenever needed. He took a huge burden off our backs by helping us rent a generator, and provide lighting for our tent and the remainder of the yard. He had a vision and it exceeded our expectations! He absolutely transformed a bare backyard into a beautiful space that was honestly better than anything our original venue could have provided.

    Compassionate and enthusiastic lighting specialist

    We were incredibly lucky with how kind and wonderful John was when our wedding moved from inside to outside because of Covid. He even was able to work with us on having some lighting inside and for the tents we ended up needing.

    The lights were beautiful and we could not have imagined our dream wedding without them. The lighting with greenery around them was part of the reason we chose the venue. It truly was our dream wedding!

    Excellent Customer Service

    I would highly recommend J.M.W. Entertainment for all lighting needs. Unfortunately, we were unable to use their services due to COVID, but John has been amazing to work with throughout the entire process! He is extremely understanding, reasonable, and flexible. John was extremely responsive via email and helped us make the right choice for us and our venue. We've had to postpone our wedding twice (which he accommodated), and we finally had to cancel for the time being. He was kind enough to return our deposit during such uncertain times, which we truly appreciated. We look forward to hopefully working with them in the future!

    John was AWESOME! He did the lighting and the DJing for our wedding and did a fantastic job. He came up to NYC and toured the venue with me before the wedding and was very responsive when it came to emailing and logistical prep. He also knew how to get the party started on the dance floor.

    JMW was amazing when it came to decorating our venue. We asked for purple lighting and a photo booth and that's what we got! The purple uplighting transformed the entire room making it feel warm and exciting and the photo booth with props was fun and exciting for all of our guests! He worked with us to know exactly what we wanted and made sure it happened. We could not have asked any more from John and would recommend him to anyone!

    I would highly recommend JMW for a we dding DJ. John was extremely accommodating and professional and did a fantastic job at the wedding which was held at the Mendenhall Inn in Mendenhall, PA. He also provided lighting which added a nice touch to the venue. Not only that, we found him to be quite reasonable. Despite how busy he is, John gets right back to you - I never had to wait for a response. I highly recommend his DJ services!

    We were recommended to JMW Entertainment Group by our caterer and we could not be more pleased with the results. We hired JMW for lighting over the dance floor and it was absolutely beautiful! It completely transformed the room and we are so happy that we hired JMW for our lighting needs. The owners were extremely friendly and communication was fast and easy. All of the set up/tear down was coordinated with our venue, so we didn't have to worry about a thing! Would definitely recommend this company!

    We hired JMW for lighting for our reception. JMW provided string lights in our tent, pin lighting that spot lighted the centerpieces on our tables, and a few uplights near the bar. The lighting added the perfect ambiance for our reception. We worked directly with the owner, John. He went above and beyond to meet our needs and exceeded our expectations. He was very helpful throughout the process. He also met with us several times at the venue and he was there the day of the wedding reception to make sure everything was perfect. Even better, he ensured he met our needs and expectations without over charging us. His prices are extremely reasonable compared to other lighting vendors we looked at. We highly recommend hiring JMW for your wedding or any event!

    We worked with John to help provide some string lighting at our venue (The High Point in Malvern). He was quick to provide us with a quote and mock-up for the event and worked within our budget. Leading up to the event, he was EXTREMELY responsive and detailed with his correspondence and was able to get the lights set up promptly before we arrived for our own initial setup. Also, his team efficiently took down the lights after the reception, per the venue's requirements. John and his crew were very professional and did a beautiful job!

    JMW Entertainment was the life of our wedding. John met with us numerous times leading up to the wedding to make sure we had everything we wanted. He did the uplighting for the reception as well - it was a special touch that made the ballroom look majestic. We did not give John a specific playlist for the night, we just let him do his thing. He kept the dance floor packed all night, we still have family and friends tell us they had a fantastic time and hadn't dance that much in a long time. John kept everyone involved, helped us plan the order of the reception, and gave us tips and advice for different ideas we had. I never knew how much the DJ does during a reception, I wouldn't have trusted anybody else!

    John from JMW did such an amazing job! Everyone was so pleased with the song selection. The Bride and I had a great time dancing the entire night. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone was having a fun time. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ.

    JMW supplied the lighting for our wedding reception at Greenville Country Club in Wilmington, Delaware. We had an idea of the look we wanted and had confidence that John and JMW would not let us down. They did an AMAZING job. The look of our reception was exactly what we pictured and even more beautiful than we could have imagined! John was very responsive and informative throughout the planning and was very easy to get a hold of with questions. I would recommend JMW to anyone looking for lighting!

    JMW did the lighting for our outdoor wedding reception and it turned out even prettier than I could have imagined!!! We had our wedding reception under a tent and early in the planning I knew I wanted lights to add some additional color to the night. I saw pictures on the JMW website of what they could do and it turned out perfectly for us. John and his team were extremely easy to work with, helpful with our thoughts and questions, and steared us in the right direction throughout our planning. The lights from JMW were installed days before event making things very stress-free on our end. The lights also served as a pretty background for all our nighttime pictures which really made our wedding stand out from other outdoor recptions we've been to in the past. Overall, we couldn't have been happier with the final product and would recommend JMW to anyone without hesitation.

    “The music was excellent!” was the consensus among our friends and family as we reminisced about the wedding. JMW Entertainment took great care in accommodating music for our rooftop wedding ceremony (held on the rooftop at the Franklin Institute, Philadelphia, PA) and for our reception (FELS Planetarium in the Franklin Institute, Philadelphia, PA), as well as providing ever so subtle ambiance lighting for our dance floor, so as not to distract from the integrity of our venue. JMW came highly recommended to my husband and I through family and friends, and when we scheduled an appointment, John Wolk (Owner of JMW) personally consulted with us on what services we wanted (and actually needed) for our wedding day. Along with a colleague, John carefully orchestrated a night of flawless entertainment. The music was current, but variable enough for all ages to enjoy, and everyone from our best friends to our grandparents danced the night away! I cannot more highly recommend an entertainment provider than I would JMW Entertainment – their affordability made them an easy choice on our pocketbook and their conscientious personality made me at ease on the days leading up to the wedding knowing that the music and lighting were in the hands of absolute professionals.

    I can't say enough great things about JMW Entertainment. From start to finish, John Michael went above and beyond our expectations with the music for our reception. Every detail was taken care of in a professional and efficient manner, and the dance floor was never empty, thanks to the variety of music played. People said it was the best wedding they had ever been to, and the music provided by JMW was a huge part of that. I would DEFINITELY recommend JMW Entertainment to anyone who is getting married, or planning a large event.
