"Michael & I would like to express how HAPPY we are to have hired Jeff & Marlene to DJ at our wedding!! Very Professional & down to earth. They made our wedding fun but mostly memorable:) Definitely made sure that everyone had a GREAT time & enjoyed themselves. They were very easy to work with & met w/ us more than once to review everything. We live in Homewood & they drove out to meet us. They also had some pretty neat suggestions & we went w/ them because they DEFINITELY know what they are doing & they LOVE what they do because it shows on how GREAT our reception turned out. The music was awesome and everyone was dancing. I would highly recommend them & can honestly say you will be more than pleased & will not regret it...
THANK YOU GUYS FOR MAKING OUR WEDDING RECEPTION UNIQUE & MEMORABLE!! YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!!"

"We wanted to THANK YOU for making our wedding so memorable. We are so glad that you kept our guests on the dance floor with fantastic music and your professional manner - as we first told you, one of our fears with a small wedding and a number of single guests attending we were worried that Robin and I would be the only ones on the dance floor and that our guests would leave early. But our friends stayed and everyone commented on how great the music was - even Robin's parents (who have never danced) got up and danced because they said the DJ played great music. You were so prompt, professional and easy to work with - we are definitely going to be recommending you to anyone that needs a DJ."
- Sarah and Robin

"Hey Bob,
Beth and I wanted to take the time to thank you for making our reception a wonderful time. I also wanted to personally thank you for being a great DJ, not many DJ's take the time and effort to make sure everything goes smoothly. The wedding/reception were a hit, definately couldn't have done it without you, and everyone thought your Frank Sinatra Dinner was the greatest thing they've seen at a wedding in a long time!
Thank you!!
"
Sincerely,
Drew and Beth

"Jerry Armstrong was one of the stars of our wedding! He not only is a great DJ and plays all the songs that keep everyone on the dance floor all night, but he is a master entertainer. He has an amazing voice and is a perfect master of ceremony. Jerry is not a typical DJ, he is a crowd pleasing entertainer! Anyone looking for something BETTER than a DJ (who just plays songs), or wanting something different for their wedding reception needs to hire Jerry! Our dance floor was packed all night, and he still made accommodations for all the many family traditions we hold dear. It isn't often you find a DJ who can get young and old alike up to have the time of their lives!"

MUSIC SUGGESTIONS for your reception
As you know, music is an integral part of the wedding day entertainment. Take time to carefully plan the music you use so that it reflects your personality without being inappropriate. Your choices should always enhance the mood rather than take away from it. When in doubt, consult with the wedding DJ.
Choosing an appropriate song for the first dance, last dance, or for dances with the parents, leave some couples at a loss. Use our list of suggestions to help you narrow down your selections.
