    Thank you Jimmy!

    Jimmy was excellent! Extremely personable and his organization helped keep us sane! We got to hand-pick every song for our wedding and meet with him to ensure that everything would run smoothly. He kept everyone on the dance floor all night and our timeline ran perfectly!

    Jimmy Lutz - Amazing DJ!!!

    My Husband and I could not be more thrilled to have had Jimmy at our wedding! Not only did Jimmy deliver and keep everyone on the dance floor the whole night he was so enjoyable and friendly to work with! The whole experience was truly customized to our taste and style. Jimmy was so warm during our listening party and really let us share a bit of ourselves through our musical tastes. We worked together on every detail and we even found a way to infuse some songs into the night to honor my late mother in a celebratory way. His ability to handle something delicate like that so gracefully is something that I am forever grateful for. It's...

    Fantastic all around

    Jimmy was amazing to work with from the first inquiry email to the big day! We used his amazing acoustic skills for cocktail hour which was such a hit with our guests and he did a fantastic job during the reception. With COVID, we were worried about making sure our family and friends had a good time while still being safe. Jimmy was easy to work with due to all the changes we had to make and read the room perfectly to ensure our guests had a great time. He was professional, fun and overall a great guy! Jimmy was also great about helping us select the perfect songs even though going in we were very indecisive! I would definitely recommend him!

    Spectacular DJ!

    We originally hired Jimmy for a 110 person wedding, and ending up with an 18 person wedding. That being said, he was a pro at reading the room, and getting the vibe exactly right. We gave him a short list of our favorite bands/musicians and he wove their songs in throughout the night. Some of the songs were such deep cuts, I was surprised and delighted when he played them! Like a skilled mindreader! He also played the acoustic version of Here Comes the Sun (the Beatles) for my walk down the aisle and it was absolutely perfect. A moment I'll cherish forever.

    Even more than we expected - OUTSTANDING!

    I'm truthfully not even sure where to start with Jim & Lutz Entertainment. We were looking for a non-cheesy DJ with a true passion for music, and thats exactly what we got with Jim. For one, the meeting process was very laid back and low pressure, which is what we were looking for, especially with so many other things going on. As soon as we started explaining our musical tastes at our first meeting (my husband and I have very different interests musically), Jim gave suggestions that were seamless to our initial playlist ideas; providing things we didn't even think of! He's so much more than "just a DJ". He helped us to plan from before the ceremony, all...

    Jimmy was such a pleasure to work with! Jimmy played the guitar during cocktail hour and was our DJ for our wedding reception. He took the time to meet with us, get to know us, and play some songs on his guitar for us before our wedding. He listened to us, wanted to know what we liked and what we wanted to incorporate, and gave us his professional opinions and feedback. Jimmy is so personable, fun, and attentive. He is easy to get a hold of, communicate with, and is flexible. Jimmy was just as excited for our wedding day as we were! He is truly a class act. Jimmy made our wedding a blast; we did not get off the dance floor thanks to him!!! THANK YOU, JIMMY!!!!

    Music was a very important aspect of our wedding and from the first meeting with Jimmy, we had a strong sense that he “got” us. We wanted to have a sound that incorporated alternative, rock, and folk, but was still familiar and exciting for our friends and family. We worked with Jimmy to plan out what types of music we wanted to play during each part of the wedding. At the wedding, Jimmy created a flawless playlist based on our tastes that was perfect from the ceremony through the end of the evening. Jimmy also did the sound setup for our ceremony and cocktail hour, which were perfect. Through the day, he worked with Annalise of Lola’s Cafe to MC our wedding and helped keep everything running smoothly.

    Jimmy was everything we could have hoped for in a DJ for our wedding! We had a small, low-key wedding with no bridal party and no traditional add-ons (bouquet toss, father/daughter dance, etc.). We just wanted good music and a good time. We met with him a few times over Skype and knew that he would be perfect. We gave him some suggestions for music just so he could get a feel for our style and told him to just go with whatever he wanted. And did he ever!! He has an amazing feel for a room and knows how to ramp the party up as well as calm it down, like when it was time for dinner. We...

    Jimmy did such a great job at our wedding. From the first time we met with him, he put us at
    ease that we had made the right decision in regards to our wedding music.

    We asked Jimmy to play an acoustic guitar set for our cocktail hour and at our first meeting, Jimmy played a few songs for us. We could tell the passion Jimmy had for playing music. We honestly could have sat with Jimmy and listened to him play for hours. At our wedding, we had a lot of our guests tell us how nice of a touch it was having an acoustic guitar during cocktail hour and how good Jimmy was. We...

    Jimmy is amazing! He supplied ceremony, cocktail hour and reception music. He is very attentive to your needs and even takes the time to meet with you in person to pick out the perfect songs! He kept the dance floor packed and I even had friends say to me "I need to sit down but your DJ keep playing too many good songs!" I don't think you can get a better compliment than that! I also loved that he takes pictures during the wedding so I had whole album of fun pictures to view the day after the wedding. Thank you Jimmy. You helped made our day great!

    With 6 months to plan a wedding, the DJ was the first vendor we booked. When we saw that Jimmy was available, we contacted him and he was available to meet with us right away. Right from the start, he was organized and informative. He gave us plenty of information to read through and lots of helpful suggestions. Anytime I had a question or concern, Jimmy would respond to my e-mails in less than a day. It was great that he was so available to help! During our final meeting Jimmy took great care in making sure he had all of the details worked out exactly how we wanted them. The introductions, special songs, and toasts were carefully planned...

    Jimmy did an amazing job at our wedding! He took so much time meeting with me and my fiancé before the wedding to get to know us and our tastes. He helped us with music choices and kept in touch with us all throughout our engagement. He played acoustic guitar for our cocktail hour which was great and DJ'ed our reception. Jimmy stayed true to our must play and do not play lists. Once the dance crowd got going, he didn't let it stop. There were times that I was desperate for a break from dancing (sore feet, out of breath) but Jimmy kept that music going and I just couldn't stop!!!! I wanted to dance at my wedding...

    We are very happy with our choice. Jimmy was a pleasure to work with and kept the dance floor moving all night:) If you are looking for someone who will not play the "run of the mill" wedding music, cater to the couple and still keep your guests happy and topping it all off with class...he's your man.

    Jimmy was awesome at our wedding. Our wedding had a number of diverse people with very different tastes in music. I advised Jimmy that the goal was for everyone to recognize and love at least a couple of songs.
    I think he hit the nail on the head. One person commented that he would remember this wedding because the music didn't suck!
    Jimmy played the songs we requested, but still managed to play songs that were fun and upbeat and everyone loved it. Ours was a small wedding, so the dance floor wasn't crowded, but there were always people on it having a great time.
    Also, Jimmy is a very laid-back guy, very easygoing and friendly, and he was really outstanding.

    We had an odd mix of guests. The groom's family is very conservative, and they don't dance. Anything the least bit suggestive in lyrics would be offensive. My family wants to get drunk and party hardy. We spoke with Jimmy about this ahead of time, and we found a great balance by playing primarily Oldies. The music themes were appropriate for everyone, but the beat was lively enough for dancing. It was a great solution. I counted on Jimmy to approve or decline any songs that were requested during the night, based on their appropriateness for our more conservative guests. He handled requests for "Baby Got Back" from my college friends with grace. It was great knowing that was...

    Absolutely Amazing!!

    The best decision we could have made for our wedding was hiring Jimmy! From our initial meeting, we knew we made the right choice. He is so personable & you can tell he really cares about making the day special for you. Jimmy went out of his way to make sure we had every detail we wanted, including a special song in honor of my dad who passed away. If you’re questioning on whether to do the acoustic guitar during cocktail hour… do it! All of our guests keep raving about how amazing it was. Jimmy also knows what songs to play to reach everybody in the crowd. Thank you for making our day perfect Jimmy!!

    Lutz Entertainment

    I cannot describe how happy I am that we hired Jimmy to play our wedding. He is warm, incredibly responsive, and professional. He knows how to work a room and get people on to and, more importantly, stay on the dance floor. He executed our music choices flawlessly and it resulted in countless fun moments with friends and family that I will never forget and wish I could relive. We additionally had him play acoustic guitar at our cocktail hour and I would highly recommend having him do this. He is a skilled musician and it set a beautiful tone for the evening. Book Jimmy right now!

    So glad we found him!

    So glad we found him! It was a true pleasure to be able to work with Jimmy Lutz for our Hudson Valley wedding. He was a consummate professional from the start and immediately put us at ease, when we spoke with him while navigating the (overwhelming!) wedding planning process. Suddenly I felt like we had an ally in the process, who could help us along the way. His years of experience allows him to understand instinctually all the dynamics of weddings and events and to know what's needed when. He can "read a crowd" for sure! and knows there are people of all ages there to appeal to. He patiently reviewed all of our song ideas and listened closely...

    The best choice for your wedding!

    Jimmy was the BEST! From the first email he sent, to spending so much time with us picking out our songs, offering wonderful suggestions and just really understanding the vibe we wanted to go with for our wedding day, he was the best choice we could have made. Our guests were blown away with the great mix of old and new, and the last song of the night just sealed it for everyone! Jimmy is such a personable, kind, and talented person, I would (and have) recommended him to other friends and people I know getting married. Jimmy provided the music for our ceremony, played acoustic guitar at our cocktail hour (AMAZING!) and was incredible at the reception. You will not be disappointed. We had nothing to worry about the day of our wedding :)

    Hire This DJ!

    Jimmy was so responsive from the start! We heard back from him right away. He was just as excited as we were about the music we wanted to play at our wedding. Our goals were to have special songs to us play during the ceremony, and to keep everyone on the dance floor all night! Jimmy played songs for every age group and the floor was packed with all of our guests even before the sun set and until last call. He was so considerate for our announcements, parent dances, reminders, and taking cues like a pro. He even approached us to make sure we were comfortable with certain details. He was a kind, considerate, music wizard, consummate professional. I cannot recommend him enough for your special occasion!!

    Acoustic cocktail hour & Dancing all night to classics

    My husband and I were fortunate enough to have worked with Jimmy Lutz for our wedding! Jimmy made himself available to answer questions and we were able to meet in person twice before the wedding. He is professional, patient and talented. I joked with Jimmy that my husband I are old souls and liked older music that our parents grew up on. I could tell from Jimmy's website that his taste in music was right up our alley. Steve and I wanted our night filled with classic rock and classic songs that all our guests could dance to. Jimmy could read the crowd and kept them dancing all night. Jimmy is also a very talented musician himself and sung...

    Small wedding, big party!

    This is the third wedding Jimmy has done for our family (with the fourth upcoming in September) and, once again, Jimmy rocked it. My wedding was planned quickly and was a small, more intimate event.

    First, he provided music for the ceremony which went flawlessly. We didn't have a formal cocktail hour, but he played a lovely mix of easy listening from the end of the ceremony leading into dinner.

    Because the venue was a was small and we had maybe 70 guests total, I was concerned that there wouldn't be a big dancing crowd. Although that's what I wanted, I knew that a realistic expectation would be that maybe a few people would get...
