    Jack is the best wedding DJ!

    We met Jack at a bridal fair early on in our wedding planning and he pulled us in and ended up being exactly what we were looking for! Jack is an amazingly talented musician and is able to play violin or guitar during the ceremony/cocktail hour. He learned two songs by Hozier for our processional and I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. My dream was to walk down the aisle to a live guitarist, which he was able to do. He checked all of our boxes that we wanted in a DJ, as he was able to do the DJ services, microphone setup, live music, plus lighting for the dancing. He brought SO much energy and our dance floor was packed all night! Jack was great with communication and we ended up having a few in-person meetings at Colectivo before the wedding. He followed our guidelines of our do not plays and he was perfect with setting the right vibe for each part of the day. Jack is amazing at his craft and I would recommend him 100x over to anyone getting married!

    Amazing Musician + DJ

    Jack is a fabulous DJ. Plus his real last name is Boatman which is a perfect DJ name. He did an amazing job keeping our guest entertained and assisting in keeping together a bridal party that may have had too many drinks before their speeches. He was extremely flexible and easy to get in contact with during the entire planning process. Our favorite part of Jack’s service was his violin performance at the wedding ceremony. Being able to count on one person for two very important pieces of our wedding day was a relief. Thank you Jack for the perfect day!

    Jack is awesome

    Jack was an incredibly fun, energetic, and positive DJ and helped make our wedding reception an absolute blast for all of our guests! He was so high energy and played the songs in a sequence to keep people dancing all the way until last call! He met with us a few times beforehand to elicit our style and music preference but worked in his own experience to keep the party going. The cocktail hour set was exactly what we were hoping for too!

    Jack was super professional since the moment we reached out to him. He always responded to emails super quickly and made everything he needed from us very clear. He also kept our wedding on schedule as an emcee with smooth transitions. He arrived early to scope out the wedding venue which was new to him, and we really appreciated that! Throughout the entire process we really enjoyed working with a self-employed DJ rather than a DJ company. Overall, we would highly recommend Jack to DJ any event you’re planning!! His energy is contagious and in every way he is a pro! Thanks Jack!

    Best DJ around

    Jack was absolutely amazing! My wife and I LOVE to dance, and Jack was fantastic at keeping people on the dance floor all night. We loved that he really took the time to get to know us as a couple, and he worked closely with us to get an idea of our music likes and dislikes. We gave him a few "must plays" and a few "absolutely nots," but otherwise, we let him run with the music and we were not disappointed. He is sure to keep people of ALL ages entertained at your wedding. Not only was he great at keeping people on the dance floor, he was also very good at communication. He reached out with any questions he had and was very quick in responding to our concerns. Lastly, the one thing that really sets Jack apart from the rest are his violin skills. We were able to hire him for a violinist during our ceremony and a party DJ for our reception. He really is the complete package. Jack is one vendor you will never have to worry about! You won't regret hiring him!

    Jack was more than we had ever hoped for!

    I am SO happy to have had the pleasure of working with Jack. He went above and beyond for our wedding. To name a few moments:

    1) I sent him a youtube video of a cut song that I wanted to use for my father daughter dance. He cut it so perfectly, down to the second. He sent me the music file so my dad and I were able to practice ahead of time with the edited music.

    2) Jack came to our dress rehearsal to set up speakers and check the sound system. I did not ask him to do this.

    3) I had very specific timing for the processional walk with my dad and I, and Jack was very open to making sure that could happen.

    I had so many guests say that they have never danced that much at a wedding and how great the DJ was. Thats all Jack's work! He never let the party die down and played just the right amount of slow songs.

    He played the most beautiful violin pieces prior to the ceremony.

    I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Jack. You need to hire him, I promise you will not regret it. There are so many large DJ companies where you just get a random DJ. The experience is so different with Jack. Take my advice!

    Hire him!

    HIRE THIS MAN. I'd give him six stars if I could. He's fantastic. Can't say enough nice things about Jack. We Zoomed several times before our wedding and jived really well. He completely understood what my fiance (now husband!) were looking for. Professional. Fun. Even played "In My Life" by The Beatles on violin during our ceremony - so dreamy. Again, hire him for your event, you won't regret it, I promise.

    Best Possible Experience

    Jack Boatman Music Services was absolutely incredible for our special day. Jack was wonderful to work with. He is very friendly and accommodating, and was very receptive to our wishes. He fulfilled our requests including some that were at the last minute, and made our ceremony so special with the variety of music selections. He even brought his guitar for the bride's processional song, which is not his usual service and was greatly appreciated. He also came to our rehearsal to practice, which helped everyone feel prepared for the big day. For the reception, he did an amazing job keeping the dance floor full the entire night. He is a great emcee in addition to his DJ skills, and the guests seemed to love interacting with him. His prices are extremely reasonable when you take into account the amount of care and detail he puts in to make your special day the best it can be. I would recommend Jack Boatman Music Services a thousand times over to anyone who is looking for a phenomenal vendor.

    Unforgettable experience

    Let’s just say my fiancé and I had high expectations for hiring a DJ that is the perfect fit for our taste in music. After meeting Jack, we instantly knew he was the perfect fit for us. Jack was personable, professional, and knew exactly what he was doing. Jack made this experience for us amazing. He was very accommodating for our wide variety of music we wanted to hear at our wedding. We all hear about those horror stories with DJS messing up their music, well we did not get that with Jack. He knew exactly what to do at what times. Jack kept our dance floor full the whole night. I couldn’t recommend anyone better than him!

    Professional and intuitive Musician and DJ

    Jack was absolutely wonderful and professional to work with. He played violin for our ceremony and was the DJ at our reception. He is extremely talented at both and we were so lucky to have him. Before the wedding he met and sat down with us to go over timelines, key songs, the contract, and musical preferences. He is familiar with a broad variety of music and was able to match the mood well throughout the reception. For the ceremony he worked well with our organist and my brother on the clarinet as well. We highly recommend him for either service but especially recommend him for anyone looking for both a musician and DJ.

    Jack is responsible for one of the best moments of our wedding

    Jack was one of the best parts of our wedding. He met us a month or so beforehand to get a feel for our music tastes; what we wanted to play, what we didn’t want to play, etc. He took great care when asking about the song for our first dance; why did we pick it, when should the song start, when should he end it, etc. When it came time for the wedding Jack set up on time and was ready to go with all of his own equipment, even lighting. He kept things moving quickly during the dinner without making things feel rushed. Jack even went around to each table to make conversation and entertain before dismissing them.

    When it came time for my wife and I to have our first dance, we mentioned to Jack that we only wanted to dance to the first verse and chorus. But Jack let the song play on. He saw how much fun we were having, how we were enjoying our special moment together, and he let us enjoy it for as long as we could. At that moment the whole world melted away except for me and my wife. It was one of the best parts of our wedding, and we have Jack to thank for it.

    Jack really came into his own once everyone joined the dancefloor. He played the perfect mix for us and our guests. Punk rock, classic pop, emo anthems, heartfelt slow songs, guest requests, and even some of our favorite heavy metal tracks. Jack played the right song at the right time every single time. We still get compliments on Jack’s music selection.

    Do yourself a favor and hire Jack for your wedding. Don’t do it just because he has great music taste. Don’t do it because he’s a great entertainer. Don’t do it because he has his own gear. Hire Jack Boatman because he truly cares. Hire Jack Boatman because he is grateful to be part of your special day and wants to make it perfect for you. Whatever you do for your wedding, hire Jack Boatman.

    You won't be disappointed with Jack Boatman as your DJ!

    When planning our wedding, and keeping in mind our fun, energetic, rockstar personalities, we were certain that we wanted to find vendors that matched those same traits. Being two brides we felt like we could think outside of the box to make our special day our own so we didn't necessarily make a normal checklist nor did we do things in order in the traditional sense.

    Our DJ was one of the last things for us to finalize! Music is very important to us, I still make my wife "mix tapes" with songs that hold a special meaning about us as a couple or as us as individuals. So when finding the perfect DJ for our wedding day we weren't going to settle! We actually had a live performer for part of our day, a friend of my wife's from high school, and he said "hey, I have this friend that I work with who is a great up and coming DJ and I think he would fit perfectly with you two!" Relying on his recommendation, we had a meeting with Jack and felt instantly comfortable with him and felt at ease with his confidence and also the fact that he wasn't afraid to ask a lot of questions to make sure our day was going to be perfect!

    Fast forward to our wedding day and Jack arrived looking dapper in his suit and had his DJ booth set up and ready with plenty of time to spare. The music he played was PERFECT for us and our personalities and there were always people on the dance floor because who could resist great music?! His lighting setup seemed to dance with each song, his wireless mic worked perfectly for speeches, he spoke perfectly when announcing us, he played a great mix of songs and was able to read the crowd to seamlessly transition into another song to keep people moving and having fun!

    From start to finish, Jack was just an overall joy to work with! If you want a DJ who will definitely bring the fun and who has enough "pizzazz" to get the crowd involved then you need Jack Boatman Music Services! My wife and I couldn't be happier with our choice and we would pick Jack again in a heartbeat if we could do it all over again!

    He’s the best.

    Jack was the best Dj I could ask for. He did a get smash up for our wedding song. That turned out amazing. His performance with the violin was absolutely beautiful. I would definitely recommend h for your wedding.
