DJ, officiant and photographer
Jon and his wife are excellent!! Jon officiated our wedding and was our DJ. He was very responsive and respectful of our wedding plans. He played music we requested and even kept the party going with some karaoke which my family really enjoyed! His wife was our photographer and she took some amazing pictures for us! Jon even took some videos of our special day which was a wonderful bonus! The price was awesome and fit our budget perfectly! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Thank you Jon and Annlexys, you outdid yourselves! I highly recommend Once Upon a Wedding!!-

Single handedly saved our day.
Jon was our only vendor that listened to what we wanted and delivered on it. Our wedding planner bailed, our photographer didn’t mic the officiant and video as he said he would and didn’t take key photos. If it wasn’t for Jon, we would have been in an awful mess. He acted as planner, photographer, videographer and DJ. He went WAY above and beyond. We got alot of compliments on the amazing party we had and it was all because of Jon. -

Amazing DJ!!
Absolutely amazing to work with! He was super responsive and answered all of our questions quickly, which made everything so much easier. He really helped us figure out the timeline and kept everything running smoothly. We had a small, intimate wedding and he still managed to keep everyone on the dance floor all night.
The setup looked beautiful and added so much to the overall vibe. He was fun, helpful, and just genuinely great to work with. Couldn’t have been happier! -

Amazing DJ!!
Jon did an amazing job with our wedding. Before the day arrived, we had a lengthy phone call about exactly what we wanted for music and timing and he took care of the rest. During the reception, when I requested to make slight changes or speed certain things up, he was more than accommodating. I would definitely recommend him especially if you have children at the wedding as he made sure they all felt included with special dances and in the congratulatory video from the guests. We are very happy with how our day went thanks to him! -

Amazing Officiant
We could not have asked for a better officiant for our wedding! From the very beginning, he was professional, kind, and truly invested in making our ceremony meaningful and personal. He took the time to get to know us, listened to our story, and created a ceremony that perfectly reflected our relationship and the journey we’ve shared.
On the wedding day, he spoke beautifully and helped create such a warm, joyful, and memorable moment for us and our guests. So many people told us afterward how much they loved the ceremony and how genuine it felt.
If you’re looking for an officiant who is thoughtful, organized, and truly cares about making your ceremony special, we highly recommend Jon. We are so grateful he was part of such an important moment in our lives! -

How amazing Jon is
I found Jon off of Bark website and omg I’m so happy I did. He truly made my wedding everything I wanted and more. He played every song I asked, he did my last minute requests, made the last minute changes to speeches, and he even goes out of his way to take a ceremony video and a guest video of everyone congratulating us. He even went and got me and my husband a drink after we got married while we took pictures. He went above and beyond and I will be telling everyone to book him because he truly was the best and I recommend him for everything. He seriously does it all. If you see this thank you again Jon -

Jon was amazinggggggg!
We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. He delivered real quality from start to finish. He kept the energy high, kept everyone entertained, and truly went above and beyond anything an average DJ would ever do. He even stepped in to sign our marriage license since our grandpa officiated. That alone tells you the kind of man he is.
He read the room perfectly. Every song flowed. No awkward pauses. He handled every cue with precision. Ceremony. Entrances. Dances. Everything felt smooth and professional. You could feel the experience behind what he was doing.
He’s bilingual and talked with our family in Spanish like he had known them for years. Our guests kept coming up to us saying how fun he was. He recorded each table for a video guest book and made the whole experience personal and memorable. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does. His enthusiasm lifted the whole night.
He communicated clearly leading up to the wedding which took a huge weight off us. He cared about getting every detail right. That kind of dedication is rare today.
We truly got a bang for our buck. He is worth every penny. An interesting man. An entertaining presence. A professional who gives more than you expect. Absolutely a five star DJ. Highly recommend.b -

Fantastic DJ/Emcee! Would 100% Recommend!
We can't say enough good things about Jon from Once Upon a Wedding! He was super communicative, organized, and easy to work with from day one. His planning questionnaire was incredibly helpful for building the flow of our day and making sure all the key moments were covered. He used a mix of music we provided and his own selections to create the perfect vibe. He kept the event running smoothly and our guests had a fantastic time. Very affordable and very professional. Highly recommend! -

A jack of all trades!!
We had the best experience with Jon for our wedding! He acted as our officiant, DJ, and day of coordinator. Our day ran so smoothly and he was largely the reason for that. I also got so many compliments on his DJ style. We had a large crowd on the dance floor the whole night and it was so much fun. I would highly, highly recommend him for your wedding! He does an amazing job! -

Amazing Vendor
Jon is a gem!!! He was the DJ and Officiant for my daughter's wedding on April 12, 2025. He and his wife Anlexys were our day of coordinators as well. They were an amazing team and kept all the details in check. Jon met with us several times before the wedding to confirm our needs and wants. He drove up to attend our rehearsal and arrived at our site early the next day to set up in three different locations at the venue for all the events. His pricing is incredibly reasonable for all that he offers. He provided videos from the entire day and sent those to us within one day of the wedding. He kept the night moving and the dance floor was never empty and there was no lull in the night at all. Jon and Anlexys were amazing to work with. Jon and Once Upon a Wedding is the full package. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! -

Wedding DJ
What an outstanding and amazing job John did above and beyond the expectations I expected. Without a wedding planner, he helped me along tremendously being the mother of the groom, and trying to arrange everything he made it absolutely effortless.

Very happy customer
We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ than John for our daughter's wedding! He was professional, engaging, and absolutely amazing on the mic as the Master of Ceremonies. He kept the energy high, made seamless announcements, and ensured everything flowed smoothly. Our guests loved him and they all enjoyed the music selection and atmosphere. If you’re looking for a DJ who knows how to keep the party going, John is the one! 🎶🎤🔥 -

The Gainesville Wedding
Jon Arnold DJ’d my daughter’s wedding this past weekend in Gainesville. He’s service was second to none. He arrived ahead of time, we ironed out the details, and the rest is history. Everything went without a flaw. His professionalism and his willingness to to accommodate your requests are amazing. Thank you Jon for making my daughters wedding a success. -

More than a DJ
Jon will keep the energy up throughout the entire event! From jump he was a tremendous help to us, giving us advice and tidbits on things we would have completely overlooked. Putting together the song itinerary was a breeze, and the event followed the itinerary very closely (even with the bride being pulled in different directions constantly). The guests loved the shoe game and Name That Tune. He also gifted us with videos, which we would not have had if not for him. We didn't realize how special that was until we saw some exceptional moments captured on video that wouldn't have happened without him. -

Jon (Once Upon A Wedding) was a blessing to work with from our first phone call throughout the entire wedding ceremony and reception. He exceeded our expectations. If you are looking for a DJ, look no further, he is the person to call.

2/24/24 Wedding- Sandpiper Bay Resort, FL
Jon was our officiant and DJ. He was awesome! We basically planned the whole thing over the phone, since we were from out of state. Jon was very easy to work with and had everything down and ready for our day. He answered all our many questions and made sure he had all we wanted. He sent us videos of the ceremony and reception/dance afterward! He also sent in our marriage certificate for us! 10/10 would recommend! -

Best DJ Ever
The best DJ ever! He was so thorough when we went over our initial call and final call before the ceremony. We wanted a specific set of songs and he stuck to it but is flexible and will do whatever you prefer. It’s not even been 12 hours and he has uploaded all his complimentary videos and guestbook video to YouTube. He was exceptional and you won’t be disappointed. Amazing amazing amazing! I wish I could tell more people how great he is!! -

10 out of 10 Experience!!
Jon was absolutely amazing from beginning to end! He was a pleasure to work with throughout the whole process. Whenever we had any questions he was there to answer them and provide his advice. Since Jon has been in the industry for many years, he is incredibly knowledgeable about all the in’s and out’s of not only DJ’ing a wedding but also planning one. We chose to make our own playlist for the night of and Jon was amazing at working all our needs in so that everything flowed beautifully. He was attentive throughout the whole night and made sure to check with us on how things were going, any questions, etc. The videos he takes throughout the night are a great bonus and such a special memory! Do not hesitate at all to reach out to Jon if you are planning a big event. You will not regret it!! -

Absolutely Outstanding!!
Jon did an absolutely amazing job at my daughter’s wedding! We hired him to officiate, and he knocked it out of the park! My husband was a minister for 30+ years and knows a good speaker when he hears one, and he agrees that Jon did a super fantastic job! It was one of the best, if not the best wedding ceremony that we’ve ever heard. Jon is professional, punctual, detail oriented, very helpful, communicative, and has such a warm friendly demeanor! It felt like he was part of the family, he helped to make the day a wonderful and magical experience! His assistance and support leading up to the special day was also very helpful, and he even helped afterwards with getting the license taken care of. He goes above and beyond, and I can’t say enough good things, I highly recommend him! -

Wedding DJ/ officiant
John was absolutely amazing for our wedding on July 13th. So grateful that we were able to find him for our special day! He doubled as our officiant as well as our DJ and I couldn’t have asked for any better! Very nice and made sure our evening went perfect and kept our guest dancing until they closed us down at the venue! 10 out of 10 recommend him! 😊😊 -

Amazing DJ experience
Once Upon A Wedding was an excellent choice for a DJ. He offered so many other services as well. He had a very reasonable price but offered just as much as any other DJ's that were double his price. He was so friendly and easy to work with. He did everything just as we liked but also had his own suggestions if you needed help. He went above and beyond to take pictures and videos of our ceremony/reception even though we had not paid him for that. I highly recommend Once Upon A Wedding for you wedding needs/services. -

Phenomenal experience!!
I was planning my wedding and was struggling to find a DJ that would fit my budget until I found Jon from Once Upon A Wedding. We had our wedding this past weekend and Jon was there on time, was kind, polite and very accommodating! He set all his equipment up so fast and was ready to go well before guests were arriving. I gave him minimal guidance in the music selection but with only a few questions he nailed it! He played such an active role in the entire night filming some videos that are now precious memories. It was a pleasure working with him, and if you’re wondering if you should book him- trust me and do it!!!

Excellent value and totally professional
Jon and his entire crew were absolutely phenomenal in every respect. We were very happy with the communication and availability of Jon. He was thoughtful and understanding of our wishes and executed them far beyond our vision. His attention to detail and complete professionalism was most appreciated. Everyone had fun, things ran smoothly and on time. He mentioned hiccups happened but I was unaware of them and they must have been handled without getting me involved. Once upon a wedding gets my ringing endorsement and highest recommendation. -

Perfect Wedding Day
I would recommend Once Upon a Wedding time and time again! We did DJ, photography, and day of coordination, and we made the right decision going with them! Jon is fantastic and made sure that our wedding day was perfect! We got to have multiple phone conferences with him, and every time we were got off the phone with him, all of the weight on our shoulders felt like it had been lifted off! Jon, we can't thank you enough for making our day everything we wanted and more! -

Best dj ever!
Jon is exceptional!
The DJ for a wedding is actually a super important piece that can make or break your celebration....we scored finding Jon. He has great energy, attitude, bang for your buck and so much more. Our reception was a BLAST....because of him! Highly recommended if you want to have an amazing reception and it's just a bonus that you won't be ripped off. So many DJs out there charge so much and them charge for all the little bells and whistles....well not this guy. Extremely worth every penny and honestly worth way more. Thank you so much for everything you did for us Jon! Loved the bonus videos too!!! -

Professional with all the extras
We are so grateful we found Jon for my son and daughter in law’s wedding. Jon is extremely professional, kind, patient and organized. Jon, who is bilingual, was the the wedding officiant performing a beautiful ceremony in both languages. He set up a video capturing the entire ceremony and provided all of the music during their garden wedding. A lot of attention to detail, guidance, list of many traditional and unique reception ideas, timeline, prompt response to phone calls and in person meeting was provided, as well as accommodating last moment special requests with ease. Jon also provided DJ services with lighting effects and engaging music to get the celebration started from the bridal party announcements, bridal party dances, meal blessing, couple’s game that everyone enjoyed, having guests sing along, a special video recording capturing wishes to the bride and groom, toast, speeches, dedications, and more. There was not a dull moment of happy tears, laughter and a blast. The night was most fun and memorable. Many guests said, “this was the best wedding reception they ever attended.” Jon also captured many videos of the highlights of the night. I would highly recommend using Jon for any event and would hire him again for any future needs. He made the most special day of their lives perfect and easy. -

Absolutely Amazing!
We hired Once Upon A Wedding as our officiant, DJ and photographer. He spent a lot of time working through wedding details when I first contacted him and gave me so much wedding info I hadn't even considered. When the time came for the wedding and I was still unprepared he took the time to let me work things out and helped me make small issues I had go seamlessly. He is so much fun, has a great personality and really helps get the guests involved (if that's what you want, I did). We chose to go with unedited photos and his wife did such an amazing job I didn't even have to edit them, I posted them the very next day (today). I honestly cannot say enough good things about them. Seriously hire them for everything!! He takes away so much stress and will make your wedding go seamlessly and beautifully❤ - Thank you Jon❤-

Jon was seriously AMAZING
Jon really takes his job seriously and does SUCH an amazing job. My wedding wouldn’t have been as perfect without him. He was the DJ for our wedding and exceeding my expectations. He took lots of time before the wedding to make sure everything was perfect and correct and worked with my coordinator and vendors and family so well. I recommend him 100%. The DJ stand and lighting and sound was prime and I was so happy with him and his work. -

Great DJ - Flexible and Organized
My husband and I were worried about finding a DJ who would be an asset to our reception, but we found that and more in Jon. Not only did he help guide the reception by coordinating with the other vendors, but he communicated with me as the bride with ease throughout the evening. He has a knack for knowing how and when it's time to move the program forward. Jon, thank you for being such a big part of our ceremony and reception - you were a dream to work with! -

Exceeded my expectations
I couldn’t have asked for a better person to officiate and DJ my wedding. Jon was definitely not your regular DJ, he is so passionate of what he does and makes sure everyone has a good time. He made our wedding special and went above and beyond to exceed our expectations. For sure he will be the one person I choose for all my future events.. I promise you that you will not regret hiring him. He really went the extra mile for us. Thank you again Jon for everything you made our wedding a dream. -

Meant to talk to d j later last night but was a little busy. I thought he did a super job!!!!! He had 8 year Olds and 80 year Olds all dancing and hardly ever an empty floor. That make him a good d j. Tell him I appreciated his help with the mic issues.

Incredible!!!!!!!
Where to even begin… if you need someone who can honestly run your entire wedding perfectly leaving yourself and guest in complete shock and joy look absolutely no further than Jon! He is a miracle worker! And so knowledgeable and professional! Not to mention extremely responsive and genuinely an amazing individual to work with. He made all our wedding dreams come true! Also his advice early on with suggesting wedding insurance saved us! We were one of the many unlucky covid postponed weddings! Of course we hired him before well this awful global pandemic and he made a fantastic suggestion to get wedding insurance (unknowingly that months later a pandemic will happen) it actually saved us big time! He is like a wedding wizard! You can trust him whole heartedly! He was our officiant and day of coordinator and he went up and beyond! He even had drinks and food brought to us while we were melting under the harsh Florida sun for quick pictures. I had countless guest that told me they have never been to a smoother wedding than ours and honestly it’s because of Jon. Also we were from out of town so also he helped us with getting our license. It was a completely painless process all thanks to him. He is so wonderful and genuinely cares. We had guest thinking he was a friends of ours because he seem to know us both so well and our first time meeting him was at our rehearsal! We have guests getting married next already wanting him to do their weddings (sorry Jon we are about to keep you busy ;) ) He is one of a kind and he really cares and that something that stood out to me and made me want to work with him. Trust me he will not disappoint and your wedding with be everything you ever wanted thanks to this amazing man!!!
Jon thanks again for everything!
P.S. we loved all the videos you took. What an amazing surprise and helping with getting together an incredible surprise exit for us.
Love,
The Happy Hunters! -

A Beautiful Experience
I first would like to start off by giving Jon nothing but praises you were patient and kind and made everything just beautiful. I was having a hard time in the bridal suite with getting ready due to the stylist not doing her job, it was very emotional for me but Jon at Once Upon A Wedding stayed to make sure that my wedding continued even though he may of had other arrangements. I am forever grateful for him and would always recommend Once Upon W Wedding to everyone I know -

Jon was amazing from start to finish. He made sure everything was personalized to our liking, he was responsive and personable. He interacted with the guests and made sure the day was perfectly executed. He included some Latin flair for my husbands family and it got EVERYONE on the dance floor. He even spoke Spanish to our guests! He was a pleasure to work with and I recommend him to everyone. -

We used Jon as both our officiant and DJ for our wedding, and we were so impressed with him in both capacities! Throughout the planning process, he was extremely attentive and responsive, and did an excellent job preparing us for what to expect on our special day. We had to make a lot of last minute changes, all of which he took into account. When the big day came, he was punctual, professional, and made everything run so smoothly! We can't recommend his services enough! -

I could not ask for a better DJ. We planned our wedding 500 miles away from our wedding destination and everything had to be done o we the phone. He always responded to me quickly. Stuck to all my request and time line of events. Showed up on time and was very professional. The quality of sound and lights was perfect. I would highly recommend!!!!!! -

I was soooo panicked at my wedding with so many things going on and I had the most amazing dj! He answered the phone for me, answered my 100000000 questions. He made my wedding the best day of my life. It ran smooth and it was a bomb. I definitely reccomend him for any services. When. My photographer scammed me took my money he came to the rescue and offered to photograph and dj and I never felt so cared about by any vendor. Thank you so much! -

Wonderful!
I can’t be thankful enough for Jon’s services on my wedding day! He traveled all the way to VA without any hesitation! Jon was the officiant and also the DJ and his wife did the photography. It didn’t feel like we were states apart during the planning at all, he made sure we went through the day step by step not leaving any detail out. He is truly great at what he does, the whole day went so smoothly and it was such a blast! Many friends and family complimented him for an awesome day. His wife was good at knowing what photos to take, I can’t wait to see how they turn out.
If you need any of his services, do it!
Thank you Jon so much! It was a fantastic wedding all thanks to you! -

Wonderful Experience
After meeting Jon in Florida, he agreed to come to Virginia for a wedding at Hanover Tavern. His communication, organization and frankly personality were outstanding with detail for my daughter's wedding wishes. We used Once Upon a Wedding services for Officiant, DJ and photography. Any coordinating issue that came up with venue or weather was quickly solved so we could relax and enjoy day. -

Jon Arnold proves love wins even during a pandemic!
Jon was great about keeping in touch with us throughout our wedding planning process, and even was able to pivot and provide DJ services at the last minute! He met with us in person first to get to know us, provided great questions to get to know us and our musical tastes, and delivered a beautiful ceremony with our requested music and then provided a fun reception atmosphere afterwards! This despite being in the middle of a pandemic that caused most weddings to postpone or cancel. Jon kept with our original date and it turned out to be a magical day! Better than we could have even imagined! He is one of the Cocoa Beach Hilton’s preferred pastors and wedding providers. We highly recommend Jon and Once Upon a Wedding!

Pastor John went out of his way to make my day so special. Like he literally save the day. I would tell you to look no further when it comes to anything about your special day. My wife and I are happy we were able to meet this amazing soul and could not of had a perfect way to enter my marriage with my wife, without him being there to make it special for us. We both thank you from the bottom of our hearts. -

Most dependable Officiant
When we spoke with him he told us that he will take care of everything and make sure things will run smoothly but thats what everybody says. We didnt touch base back until 2 months before the wedding and everything was done via email. Then we just met at the ceremony and Rev. Jon officiated it exactly the way we pictures it. This guy is awesome. Book him and leave it to him to make your ceremony perfect. We screened and researched all out vendors and Rev. Jon is a true honest person and he will not be a part of your worries. He is even a great resource of everything else you need!
Thank you Rev. Jon for making our wedding perfect! -

Would definitely recommend!
We used John for our officiant and our DJ and I have no complaints! My husband was not a fan of writing our own vows (because he’s a crier, lol) so John sent us each a questionnaire to complete in private. After we completed the he compiled the answers to really personalize our ceremony so that even though we didn’t write our vows, there were still some special details included. He was easy going and felt out the crowd. I recommend him for sure! -

Dependable and Professional
Jon was an awesome officiant. I was so nervous about how everything would run, but he calmed my nerves and listened to my concerns and assured me that it would go just as I had envisioned. He is such a calming energy and he made our ceremony perfect. Jon even sent us a free video of our ceremony that we could watch the day after our wedding!! It was so nice having it since at the time of the wedding seemed like such a blur. He is wonderful! -

Wedding Officiant
Jon was a really great officiant he was professional and friendly. He added just all the write words and scriptures to our ceremony. I highly recommend him to anyone who's looking for that officiant with the right amount of everything (clear, concise, understanding) you're looking for he definitely surpassed what I was expecting. -

So helpful!
Jon did a great job of helping us navigate our bilingual ceremony (as our officiant) and reception (as our dj). He made it so easy to organize everything and his experience was invaluable in making everything run smoothly. -

A Dream Wedding!!
Look no further - this is your guy!! Everything went amazing from the moment I first requested to book Jon. He responds to emails quickly and answers all of my questions efficiently. His questionnaires ensure everything you want for your wedding is documented, and he thinks of more to ask than I even considered myself! We used him for both Officiant and DJ services and guests loved that! I am still in shock that I received this quality of service and for such an amazing price that was unheard of elsewhere for that level of quality service. I recommend Jon whole-heartedly! I had no stress putting my wedding into his hands. My engaged friends all asked me for his company info after the wedding! -

Beautiful beach set uo
I am very happy with Once upon a wedding and how my beach wedding turned out. Before hiring jon i did alot of research and called numerous vendors. Once upon a wedding had the most reasonable prices for the type of set up i wanted. Ive pictured since i was a little girl how i would want my beach wedding to be and i definitely got all i had dreamed of and more. Beautiful set up nice and classy. Jon was very friendly and professional. I will be recommending you to all my friends. I am one happy married woman!-

Amazing Officiant!
We first met Jon Arnold when he married our best friends back in 2016. When we found out that he was available for our December 2018 wedding we knew we wanted him to marry us. Jon is professional, personable and is very responsive. Since we got married in St. Augustine we did not want him to travel for the rehearsal, so instead he spent over an hour on speaker phone going over every detail of our ceremony. On wedding day he did a fantastic job, gave us exactly what we had imagined and whispered instructions when we forgot what we were doing. He is the best and so great at his job. I would recommend him to anyone getting married in the Central Florida area! -

John saved the day
John went out of his way to get our marriage license the day of the wedding. The dual language ceremony was beautiful. I highly recommend him. -

Great Experience!
We used Once Upon a Wedding and Jon was incredibly responsive to all my questions. Norman performed our ceremony and he was professional, had a great presence, and handled the unexpected raindrops.
Our ceremony was fast....just how we wanted it... but it NEVER felt rushed. It was exactly what we wanted. -

Incredibly Nice, Lots of Customization Available!
Jon was incredibly nice and easy to work with from the very beginning. Our elopement was very spur of the moment, but he was flexible and was able to meet us wherever we decided on for our wedding! He has a comprehensive set of questions that allows you to control all aspects of the ceremony, and has lots of other options as well. I highly recommend him for your wedding! -

Even from afar, Jon was exceptional.
Jon helped us plan our Florida Wedding even though we live in Oregon. He was always quick with responses and solutions. He helped us find musicians for us to walk down the aisle to and offered his DJ services as well. He was great! -

Rockstar of our ceremony
The power went out at our venue and John came prepared with a battery back up, which we otherwise would've gone without music and microphone. Totally awesome service, very easy to work with. Thank you! -

We are very happy we hire Once Upon A Wedding, John really did an amazing job for us! Jon was great to work with, he really knew what he was doing and had everything so organized. He sent us a questionary at first to be able to get to know us and get prepared as perfect as he did. We did not have to go to the court before the ceremony because he was able to get our license for us in advance. At the ceremony all of my guests were super happy not only because everything was so beautiful, organized and perfect, he had so many ideas for the day, but because we had people English and Spanish speakers and he was able to do the ceremony in both languages, I am from Colombia and my family could not be happier about that!!!! John, we are more than happy we put everything in your hands and I will recommend you whenever I can!!!! Thanks so much for making our day so special! With Love, The Ruffs -

John was absolutely amazing! Very patient and help coordinated marriage certificate. We were getting married in Florida and were from out of state, John made the process very easy. He added many little special touches to our ceremony, including a remembrance moment for my father-in -law who passed in the Fall. John, you ROCK!!
Thank you, Robyn & Matthew -
