    Love them!

    My husband and I were navigating planning a wedding during COVID-19 and that just made us appreciate JJDJ's professionalism and flexibility that much more. They helped us come up with new ideas and during the wedding, they were intentional about making sure it was everything we wanted. I can't recommend them enough!

    Best DJ at a wedding!

    A few friends had hired JJDJ for their weddings and I remember the music being amazing so I made sure to hire well in advance for my own wedding. SO happy I did! So many guests commented on how awesome the playlist he created was. Everyone had such a great time and the dancefloor was packed all night!

    JJDJ did weddings for two friends of mine and there was no doubt that I wanted them to be the DJ for my wedding - and they did not disappoint! JJDJ provided the music, lighting, and photobooth for my wedding. We requested special string lights but our venue was a bit constrained in how that could be done - JJDJ came through and was able to put up the lights just as we wanted. The music was great - the dancefloor was full the entire time! JJDJ was a fantastic choice for our wedding entertainment. They pulled off the look we wanted with the lights and made sure our guests had a memorable time with the music and the photobooth. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great DJ!

    John is amazing at his job! He is truly what made our wedding reception the constant funfilled party we wanted. He was so fun and easy to work with and so knowledgable both about music and lighting. The uplighting he provided for our reception really gave the room a fun, sophisticated, party vibe. His dj table set up is absolutely awesome! It added so much to the room and dance floor. John kept the dance floor filled the entire night and the guests had an absolute blast! We have had so many guests tell us that they had never had so much fun at a wedding before which is exactly what we wanted since the reception was really a party for all our friends and family. We can't thank John and Tracy enough for all their hard work to make our wedding perfect!

    Our DJ was awesome! He not only was passionate about his profession but he was really organized and professional. His experience from doing so many weddings and other events really allowed him to make suggestions to people like myself and now husband who needed some guidance as far as timeline and fun games to play. He had a lot of ideas and options as far as songs, timeline of the day, reception games, etc.. but never pushed anything on us and left everything up to us. Getting to know him he was really down to earth and easy to talk to. We could tell he and his wife really dedicate themselves to their business and we had a blast! We had a few names on the difficult side to pronounce and he made sure to go over every single detail with us, well before the wedding and not last minute, especially making sure he was saying their names correctly which we appreciated! They made everything so easy! As a bride all you want is for everything to go smoothly and I had no doubts in my mind about our DJ!

    JJDJ Entertainment handled the Lighting and Sound for our wedding. They completely redesigned the room with uplighting, monogramming, video screens, and truss structures! They really personalized our wedding with the 2 huge videos screen creating slideshows of my fiancee' and I as well as different slide shows for each of the parent dances. I'll never forget the moment my mother and I had while dancing together looking at photos of us as I grew up. It was such an amazing job done by their entire staff! The dance floor lighting was amazing! A++++ all the way around!

    JJDJ Entertainment is absolutely hands-down the best DJ service you will ever find! John puts so much of himself into every aspect of your event that you feel as though he's planning his own wedding. His level of detail is amazing and he truly cares about your vision. His fiance Tracy works by his side to ensure all the little details are carried out to the letter and you feel as though family is taking care of you. I knew instantly that my wedding would be as I wanted it and I had PEACE OF MIND. All brides know that with the stresses of planning a wedding, peace of mind is a wonderful thing.

    It's comforting to know that there are people out there who truly care and when they tell you things will be taken care of and they actually are...it means so much. John at JJDJ Entertainment promises the best service and he means it. I've received so many compliments on the music and fun that John provided. My 88 year old father-in-law was on the dance floor shaking it to club music! How many DJ's can claim that? My husband and I can't thank John enough for the wonderful time he provided for our family and friends! Thanks again John and Tracy! JJDJ Entertainment ROCKS!!!

    John and JJDJ did an amazing job for my wedding last weekend - not only did John DJ but he also worked with me on the uplighting, spot lighting, and a personalized monogram for the dance floor. I really can't say enough about how awesome the services were...John had been recommended to me through a friend. He was professional and friendly from the moment we met and was very patient with all my questions. He helped guide us through the entire schedule for the night. His professionalism is unparalleled and I'm so happy about the turnout! During the wedding he kept everything moving smoothly and his awesome music kept everyone on the dance floor the entire night. I highly recommend John and JJDJ Entertainment for anyone having a wedding or party. One of the greatest things about working with John is that you can absolutely ascertain the enthusiasm he has for his work and that's how I knew he would do a great job at the wedding. Thanks for your help making my wedding a memorable, lovely and fun night, John.

    JJDJ provided the music and lighting for our wedding reception this past October (10/1/11). We couldn't have been happier. John and his fiancee were incredible. They did everything from music for our cocktail hour, helping us get lined up properly for our big entrance to keeping our friends and family on the dance floor for the entire evening. They helped with the little details we never even had considered, like placing a small piece of tape on the dance floor so our best man and father of the bride knew where to stand for their toasts and so I knew where to take my bride for our first dance. John helped convince us to add some up lighting and totems to add to our ambiance. We wanted to keep our rustic theme and he was able to blend the lighting perfectly to the character we wanted. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend John and JJDJ to any of our friends (in fact we already have) and we can't wait to have a need to use them again.

    JJDJ was recommended by a few friends after they attended another wedding John performed at. We could not have been happier with John's performance from the initial meeting all the way through days after the event. He made it a point to get to know our personalities and what our goals were for our reception. John's helpful wedding program guided us through many options that ensured we would not miss anything we may want during the reception. We came up with some items that may have added work for John but he never flinched and performed spectacularly at the reception. John and his fiancé Tracy kept all of our guests on their feet from beginning to end. A nice touch in the days after the wedding were some quick videos JJDJ put together with some highlights from our reception. With official photographs and videos for the wedding at least weeks away, it was a great surprise to get something so soon that reflected the great party we all experienced.

    We can't thank Tracy, John and JJDJ Entertainment enough for their large part in a reception that will always be remembered by us, our guests, the staff at Key Bridge Marriott and anyone else that could see the awesome light shows coming from the top floor of the Marriott that night. We've already recommended JJDJ and will continue to do so for any event needed DJ services. We can't wait to work with them again soon.

    JJDJ Entertainment's reply:

    Sabrina! It was sooo much fun working with you and robby! By far our favorite wedding of 2011! I wish we could relive that wedding monthly! I can't even put in words as an entertainer how much fun we had!

    We saw John at a friend’s wedding before he performed at our own. The two weddings had different genres and he knocked both of them out of the park. Our family and friends are still talking about how “the music was perfect”, “the DJ was spectacular” and “where did you find that guy”. We could not be happier with John and would recommend him without reservation.

    JJDJ Entertainment's reply:

    Thank you again for giving us the opportunity to work with you for your special day! It was such a beautiful day! So happy for you two!

    John was amazing! He was the DJ at my daughter's wedding on 6/18/11 and it was awesome. He was professional, on time, friendly, courteous, he followed the song preferences my daughter wanted, was flexible to last minute changes -- in short, a awesome! I would highly recommend John to anyone that needs DJ services.

    JJDJ Entertainment's reply:

    Thank you so much Pam! It was a pleasure to work with you and Lyndsey! I wish nothing but happiness for Her and Jesse!

    John was great; what an awesome DJ! He was so enjoyable and easy to work with from the beginning planning process all the way through to our wedding day. John made himself available to meet with us several times to go over details. We requested a few specific songs, but then left the rest to John, and let me tell you, he did an absolutely fantastic job! From the music to the lighting, the dance floor was packed the entire time! John also made sure that all involved with the venue had a timeline and stayed connected throughout the event. From our ceremony to our reception, John did a fabulous job and ensured all was a smooth success. We received tons of compliments on John's DJ-ing and have friends who will be using him as well. Thank You so much, John!!

    John from JJDJ Entertainment was amazing all around! He worked with us through every step of the way planning our wedding. He kept up with us and all our changes, was there to offer suggestions, and come up with an amazing light design for our wedding. At first we didn't want to go the light route we didn't want to have that "corny" look, but after he showed us some things his lights and design team could do, we were sold. His professionalism is top notch and his entire team was amazing when it came to pulling off the perfect wedding! After it was all over I didnt feel like I had networked with another vendor, I felt like I had a friend!

    JJDJ Entertainment's reply:

    Thank you Carrie! It was great to work with you and yours! Best of luck to you two in the future!

    John did an amazing job! He was our most prepared vendor and contacted me multiple times to talk and coordinate before the wedding. His professionalism was unmatched. He showed up super early to set up and was on top of the schedule the whole evening. He played awesome music and kept the dance floor hopping all night! He also did an amazing job with the lighting and the MC'ing. Also, his prices cannot be beat. I would recommend him without reservation for any event that you host.

    I can not rave enough about John Caniford DJing our wedding. Not only did his form help me plan my wedding from the start, but when I had to change things last minute, he made quick changes and made it feel like it had been that way all along! He went with the flow and kept the crowd dancing without being corny like some other DJ’s. He even took HD videos for us when he noticed we didn’t have a videographer, for FREE! I HIGHLY recommend JJDJ Entertainment and will be recommending him to all my friends getting married as well! Very nice and cool DJ!

    John was great and easy to work with. He was very thorough throughout the pre-reception process. Asked all sorts of questions about our likes, dislikes, our backgrounds, and etc... There was a detailed checklist we had to fill out in order to make things flow smoothly. I like that. I heard John was early at our reception area and already was setup long before the guests arrived for cocktail hour. He had all the bells and whistles when it comes to a dj service without the cheese. Very professional. Very courteous. The price was well worth it and definitely less expensive than those "other" dj services. We definitely give John 5 stars for a perfect dj wedding service. Cheers!

    Thanks Gene! Your wedding was so much fun! I loved the speach your father gave, till this day its my favorite!

    JJ was great. The only complaint is that they music was low during the ceremony and reception, but I think it is due to limited speaker flexibility. Everyone danced, though! And we had a great time.
