    Executed with precision!

    Working with Jody and his team for our wedding music was an absolute delight, and it's no exaggeration to say that they played a pivotal role in making our day extraordinary.

    During the aperitif, Jody's selection of jazz music, complete with a saxophonist, set the perfect vibe for our event. The live saxophone added a touch of sophistication and received numerous compliments from our guests. Jody's music curation was on point, enhancing the atmosphere and creating a memorable experience.

    What truly amazed us was Jody's willingness to go above and beyond. We had requested two specific songs, and the saxophonist not only learned them but executed them with precision. It was an absolute joy to hear our chosen songs brought to life in such a unique and fun way.

    Throughout the reception dinner, Jody seamlessly played background music, setting the perfect mood. He expertly managed the playlist for key moments like our first dance, cake cutting, mother-son dance, and mother-daughter dance. Jody's attention to detail and execution ensured that these moments were heartfelt and unforgettable.

    One of the highlights of the evening was Jody's ability to get everyone on the dance floor with an infectious line dance. It brought our guests together and set the stage for an unforgettable night of dancing and celebration.

    Despite planning a wedding from thousands of miles away, working with Jody was a breeze. His professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine enthusiasm for making our day special shone through every step of the way.

    In short, Jody exceeded our expectations in every way. His passion for music and dedication to his craft were evident, and it made our wedding day an absolute blast. We are incredibly grateful to Jody and his team for their outstanding service. If you're looking for a DJ who will take your wedding to the next level, Jody is the one to trust. Thank you, Jody, for an unforgettable night of music and celebration!

    Pure professionality.

    Jody was our DJ for our wedding and we can fully recommend him! Before the wedding we had many video calls and Jody was always ready for those and really flexible. Like normal,, we had of course a bit stress about scheduling and music before the wedding but Jody made us to calm down always and he made us to feel comfortable with his professionality.

    Jody is such a lovely and warm person as well, that is also what you really need and want during your wedding day! Also our guests loved him and his music, personality and professionality. We did gave him some of our favourite songs and wishes and regarding to those he also chose the other music what he played during the wedding apero and party. So also because of that, you can trust him perfectly!

    If you ask (enough early) he is also having a team/friends who are playing saxophone and violin. We booked them as well to our wedding and it was perfect! And also such a lovely persons.

    We can only recommend Jody, sweet and warm personality, trustful and professional still with relaxed approach! With love Noora and Markus

    My amazing wedding party

    We had DJ Jody: he was amazing, super helpful and responsive! From our first conversation on Skype with him we immediately realized that we were talking to a person who loves his job! The guests kept telling me how great he was, keeping everyone on the dance floor. For the aperitif, we had a classy lounge DJ set with the sax player. The uplighting exceeded our expectations, turning the hall into a disco. Thanks Professionalwedding dj!

    DJ for an American/German Wedding in Italy!

    Jody with Professional Wedding DJ was fantastic. His DJing talents formed the backbone of our party from start to finish and we could not have been happier with the experience. On top of his superb skills as a DJ, Jody is a really kind guy, who clearly loves what he does. We wholeheartedly recommend Professional Wedding DJ to anyone. Many of our American guests wish he would do weddings in the U.S.!

    JODY IS AMAZING! Do not hesitate to book him for your wedding! I found a video online of a wedding Jody had done at our wedding reception venue. I was planning our wedding in Italy from the US and so we booked Jody via email. He was amazingly responsive. He did an EXCELLENT job with the music and creating the perfect atmosphere with lighting and glow sticks. He took all our requests on board to plan the perfect mix of music - transitioning from laid back dinner music to a late night party that got everyone up and dancing! Above all, Jody is a really nice and kind person! I cannot recommend him highly enough!!!!

    Elegant wedding on Como Lake

    DJ Jody was really helpful and professional. We couldn’t have asked for more. He was able to accompany all the wedding day with modern music, suitable for the moment. We chose to have the live sax during the aperitif: it certainly gave an extra touch of class.

    Super recommended if you want your party to be special

    We chose Stefano thanks to a friend of mine and I must say that we really enjoyed the party! We had an interview where we were able to talk about what we liked or not, about our musical tastes and what they preferred to play during our party. Stefano was really good and also his colleague with the sax! Ah he also did an inspection in the local thing that seemed really professional.
    Super recommended if you want your party to be special, super funny and classy !!! They all danced !!!!! Thanks Stefano !!!!!!!!!

    Our wedding party in very good hands

    ProfessionalWeddingDJ made an excellent work! A special thanks to Jody Belli who coordinated all the staff during the event, and proved to be an excellent consultant, available (he also made an on-site inspection) and professional. We enjoyed very much all the members of the jazz quartet, especially the saxophonist, a top player. The icing on the cake was the Silent Disco which allowed us to continue with the outdoor celebrations until the small hours. Finally, our opinion on the set-up provided: very cool DJ booth and wonderful uplighting equipment. Absolutely recommended.
    Guido & Stefania

    ProfessionalWeddingDJ®'s reply:

    Thanks guys!
    I still have a wonderful memory of your silent disco wedding party, guys; it has been a pleasure and an honor to have to do with you. I wish you the best! Jody Belli

    Worst Decision Ever

    We thought Jody was so nice, but it turns out we were very wrong. He ruined my walk down the aisle song with my dad, the audio feedback sucked during our party, he turned on our slideshow music half way through (that my husband slaved over making), and even delayed our exit claiming he had not been paid. The worst part was he had, and after being yelled at in Italian by one of our friends, admitted to trying to pull one over on us and pulled the money out from his box. Extremely disappointed in this horrendous behavior. Do not ruin your wedding by trusting these people.

    Update October 2022:
    Jody can say it was a misunderstanding, but a stuffed envelope (after he insisted on cash payment on the day of the wedding) being misunderstood as a tip seems ludicrous.

    The audio for walking down the aisle was not accurate, but I can see how maybe the communication barrier seemed confusing.

    The audio feedback definitely had issues, and many people did notice it. It was like holding the old microphones directly to the speaker a couple of times.

    He is right, we should have gotten the slideshow to him sooner. But I did expect him to at least hustle when it didn’t work.

    All in all, I could accept some of the issues but not the so called “misunderstanding”… especially when our Italian friend had to be called in to address this nonsense for him to finally see the cash under his laptop. If he thought he hadn’t been paid, he should have checked what he thought was a tip. No tip would be over half of what you charge, reasonably.

    JUST BE CAUTIOUS ON PAYMENT TERMS WHEN HIRING JODY, maybe insist on paying via an app that can be tracked to protect all parties and not have anyone asking for money during your special day. We were very upset and disappointed by our experience. Enough to leave a bad review (I have left at least 20 reviews in my life, and only two have been bad).

    ProfessionalWeddingDJ®'s reply:

    All this does NOT correspond to the truth…

    Firstly, about the misunderstanding about the payment… for me is very, very important to talk about this aspect.

    If I was called aside, before or after the party, not during, and if I was given an envelope, explaining in what capacity it was delivered to me, it did not happen!!

    During the evening, while I was busy playing the music, in the dark and with loud music, I was given some money, but I didn't know who gave it ... I thanked (I thought it was a tip as sometimes happens) and put it aside , and I haven't had a chance to count it until the end of the party, when you were going home, as you can imagine….

    I didn't know I had already received the money until your father came to tell me that he had paid me before. I checked the money I had put aside and I found that all the money was there... for me it was not possible to notice it sooner because I was busy as i explained before. I was very, very disappointed that you could have imagined that I tried to scam someone .... also because as soon as I saw the money I apologized to the father of Cara and we cleared up the situation right away.

    About the other part:
    “He ruined my walk down the aisle song with my dad, the audio feedback sucked during our party, he turned on our slideshow music half way through (that my husband slaved over making)”

    I had a call with the bride checking post by point the music, and she expressed the desire to use the same song for processional parents, bridal party and bridal walk. I edited the word file with her live, in the video call on whatsapp video! So I wonder why she asked me to remove the song that she would have wanted instead (and which I managed to put on during the ceremony after she was asked).

    About this sentence:
    “the audio feedback sucked during our party”,

    The audio was fine, and nobody, including spouses, complained about it. We took care of the sound system inside and outside in all four areas where the party took place, and all without moving or moving speakers or consoles during the wedding so as not to disturb.

    "he turned on our slideshow music half way through (that my husband slaved over making)"

    About the slideshow: Although I asked for the slideshow in advance, mine was sent the same day (not a saying: same day, and I have proof: see attachment) via google Drive: my recommendation was due to the fact that I needed some time to verify it. Instead of appreciating the fact that, even if at the last moment, I managed to organize the projection, do they come to complain that for a few seconds there was no music at the correct volume level?

    Warning: Buyer Beware

    Jody seemed like a good pick for our wedding day DJ but we were sorely wrong. He messed up our ceremony music. He was relaxing on a couch with his associate while the wrong music was playing for dinner. He did not perform an audio check for our wedding slideshow until we pointed out to him that there was no audio. He also tried to con my father-in-law out of an additional $767 usd by saying he did not receive the money after he was paid in cash directly. He later admitted to his own lie. For any American's or foreigners planning a wedding in Italy I highly recommend to stay away from Jody Belli.
