Dj jay is the best!

We loved DJ Jay and had the best music at our wedding! He is a joy to work with and brings the dance party! A true professional in the time leading up to the wedding and then a total blast day-of! Not cheesy emcee-ish-- just the right vibes. We loved him and 10/10 would recommend!!

Best DJ for sure

We found Jay through our venue and from the beginning we loved his communication, how through he was with questions and suggestions and he made our wedding day so wonderful. He was flexible with our mix of Brazilian and Romanian music requests, our starwars incorporation and most of all his flexibility when rain started pouring. Our guests absolutely loved his dj skills during cocktail and especially during dancing. He is DEF NOT those cheesy awkward djs and recommend him to whoever wants an amazing dj for their wedding or event.

Hiring Jay McElfresh is a decision that you'll never regret. He does it all. He is professional, engaging, entertaining, and organized. He thinks of everything that can go wrong ahead of time and plans ahead. We've worked AV with him on larger weddings and marveled at how he helps make a wedding a fun event for everyone, even the wallflowers.

Jay and I recently worked together at a wedding at Current in Manhattan. Jay was an absolute pleasure - he emceed the evening wonderfully and had guests smiling and dancing all night. He looked sharp, professional and stylish (as a great DJ should) and he played songs that really made the night memorable - not just the same old wedding soundtrack! I look forward to working with Jay again!
