Consummate Professionals!

Every person I dealt with was knowledgeable, professional, and responsive to any questions I had. Everyone helped develop the ideas in my head, added to them, and made our celebration a success! Amongst the day-of chaos I was dealing with for last minute details, everyone from Spark Entertainment Group remained calm, cool, and collected. The setup optimized use of the space, and the music kept the party vibe going! I would enlist their service again in a heartbeat!

Wedding June 8th, 2024

I dont even know where to begin... I cannot recommend Duerell and Spark Entertainment enough!!
Since the first day my now husband and I got engaged, our biggest concern was making sure we got a kickass DJ, and boy did we do our research and got a KICKASS DJ. I found Duerell through great reviews, and finding out a mutual friend of ours used him for wedding, and she RAVED about him. I inquired through his website, and within 24 hours, we had a response, with their packages, and we set up a Zoom to meet with Duerell.
During our initial zoom meeting, Duerell was attentive and responsive to what we were looking for. We wanted to make sure we appealed to all age groups, and kept our dance floor packed all night.

Duerell isnt your typical DJ. He brought the energy, kept the crowd involved, and really read the room and could see what we waned the next song to be. HYPE music was our motto and did Duerell bring it! He took every meeting we had with him, personal, making sure he knew what we wanted to play, what we didnt and how we wanted the day to go. It really is up to the DJ to make sure everything is on schedule, and he really made sure all Speeches were on time, dances were on schedule, and we were on the dance floor by the time we wanted.

We had a minor rain issue and had to change our ceremony from outdoors to indoors, and he worked to make sure our music, and audio was good to go with only 20 minutes until the ceremony!

Everyone raved about him... People still are talking about how fun our Dance floor and how amazing Duerell was. His tech team killed it too, making our photobooth go off without a hitch, and setting it up almost immediately after our ceremony, so people could use it during cocktail hour.

We truly were bummed when the night was over, because of how spectacular DJ Jones was. I will never stop recommending him. Truly one of the best investments we could have made when it came to wedding planning.

We hope to have the opportunity again to be at a wedding with Spark Entertainment, and if we dont, we may just need to throw another wedding!

Five stars isnt enough

Duerrell is just the best. Our dance floor stayed packed the entire night and we had such a blast.

It’s taken us a couple weeks to sit down and really be able put into words how much our wedding day meant to us.


First of all, thank you.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. From the bottom of our hearts. We can’t thank you all enough. We had the best night of our lives and had so much fun. Everyone has been raving about DJ D Jones and the playlist and how much fun they had dancing the night away. There are truly no words to describe how perfect it was and amazing and memorable it was to be surrounded by all of our loved ones on the dance floor just going feral.

Since Andres and I started dating 8 years ago, we always talked about a must have for our wedding and the most important aspect. We BOTH immediately said entertainment/ music was number one. By far. We knew we wanted to invest and when we came across Spark Entertainment and when I sat with Jazmin to talk through our vision, we just immediately knew it had to be Spark. We listened to so many playlists and researched all types of DJs but truly what stood out to me was the professionalism, the fact we felt like we just clicked well with Jazmin and Duerell, but also just they got it and understood us. We’re just obsessed with DJ D Jones and every day in our household ask each other if we saw his last stories or party posts and just reminisce.

Everyone on the team was just so professional, so genuinely nice, and just knew exactly what we wanted and how to bring it to life. We had a challenging guest mix, from our Latin families, to young people, to older crowds, to our southern friends 🤣 and DJ D Jones just killed it. He somehow knew what to play to get everyone together. We were so bummed when the party was over. While we were exhausted, we would have danced the night away.

We will be referring to literally everyone and writing many reviews but we just want to thank you so much.

We may have to throw a party soon just to get DJ D Jones back into our lives.
