    Music Needs A-Z

    We had Jarrell Entertainment provide music for our entire wedding: a string duo for the ceremony, a pianist for cocktail hour, and DJ MKL along with three instrumentalists for the reception. Not only was it a pleasure working with them before the wedding - they were extremely organized and always met our ideas and questions with a "yes" - but their talent really shined at our wedding. Never once did we have to check in on the music or vibe, they truly guided the energy of us and our guests all day long. Would definitely recommend!

    Jarrell Entertainment's reply:

    Thank you Gabi for the lovely review. We are so grateful to have been the ones chosen with the music vibe of your celebration. It was an absolute pleasure. Wishing you both a big congratulations! Cheers, Jarrell Entertainment

    DJ MKL + team are great!

    We recently hired DJ MKL with accompanying saxophone, trumpet and percussion for our wedding ceremony. They brought the party alive and kept it going throughout the night. DJ MKL + team were organized, talented, blended a wide range of music together seamlessly, and pleasant to work with throughout the process. Our guests were raving about the DJ + pieces combo and danced the whole night. Would highly recommend!

    Jarrell Entertainment's reply:

    Congratulations Max and Gabi. We really enjoyed bringing the party alive for you and your guests with our DJ Hybrid Band "Evolution". We wish you both much happiness and hope to see you on the dance floor again at one of your friend's wedding! Cheers, Jarrell Entertainment

    Jarrell Entertainment Review

    DJ Othello, the musicians, and the entire Jarrell team were absolutely wonderful. DJ Othello had all of our friends dancing the entire time. I told him I wanted to be dancing 99% of the time, and he made that happen with the best music. Thank you for making this night exactly what we wanted!

    Spectacular Band

    Jarrell Entertainment did a fantastic job for our wedding. Extremely responsive and flexible. We had three pieces for the ceremony/cocktail hour (violin, cello, guitar) and a hybrid band, DJ, Singer for dancing after dinner. No one left the dance floor! The music was great. I recommend you create a playlist of the music you like to share ahead of time and also things you DO NOT want played.

    Jarrell Entertainment's reply:

    Lisa - it was such an honor to perform at your wedding. Congratulations! Thank you for the kind words. We loved working with you both. We can't wait for the anniversary party.

    A stellar review for our wedding dj/band!

    Jarrell Entertainment exceeded all expectations at our wedding delivering an incredible night of music and entertainment. DJ OTHELLO was incredible and accompanied by live percussion, saxophone, and violin. They expertly read the crowd, kept the dance floor packed, and seamlessly incorporated our song requests. Their professionalism, top-notch equipment, and infectious energy created an unforgettable atmosphere. We wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone looking for a sensational wedding DJ/live band. Thank you for making our celebration extraordinary!

    Sincerely,
    Rachel & Justin

    Amazing Experience

    I got married 2 weeks ago and I want to go back to that night everyday. No one got off the dance floor for the entire night. Perfect mix of disco & modern songs to have all the adults and the young people dance together all night long!!

    Can't recommend enough!

    We had DJ Michael, a trio of musicians, and the photo booth through Jarrell at our wedding in Montauk and we couldn't have been happier! They were all fantastic and added so much to our wedding experience. The company was super organized and responsive ahead of time as well - made planning fun and not stressful at all. Would highly recommend using them!!

    Could not have asked for anytihng more

    I had a four piece band at my wedding and the ceremony and reception were absolutely perfect. They took care of everything and were very easy to plan with and flexible. Hopefully I won't be having another wedding but if I ever need to hire anyone for music it will 100% be Jarrell Entertainment.

    Face Melting Wedding

    DJ FLO melted faces at our wedding reception for over four hours. Guests that were happily married in attendance, considered divorcing their spouses at the end of the reception for a second opportunity at love with DJ FLO spinning. For your next event, DJ FLO should 100% be present. Let him advice and assist with an unforgettable event.

    Jarrell Entertainment's reply:

    We loved being at your wedding Nolan. Thank you for trusting us to melt faces and create fun! We wish you and Kat many blessings and a lot more dancing!

    Ray, Kevin and Michael are true creatives. . .

    Working with Jarrell Entertainment was important for so many different reasons. My husband and I wanted a entertainment company that really understood our goals and wasn't just going to play a set track. As soon as I heard MKL's mixes I knew he was our DJ. We hired MKL as our DJ and also included a violinist, saxophonist, and guitarist. We also used Jarrell for our uplighting.

    Ray, Kevin and Michael are true creatives. They are artists through and through. From the music, to lighting, sound checks and more Jarrell Entertainment looked at our event as a creative expression of our wedding and not just a wedding. Kevin orchestrated our event to be spectacular. He made sure the lighting was set to the music, the tone of the event had good vibes and that everyone hit their mark the day of. Kevin worked tirelessly with our venue to make sure that the sound of the event would be correct. I expected a DJ company to bring some speakers and call it a day. That is not at all what you get with Jarrell Entertainment. Kevin and his team brought in several speakers for around the room. They did a proper soundcheck before the event and planned ahead and added additional speakers where needed. They setup proper sound in every area that guests would be including the cocktail space, reception area and the outdoor terrace. Each area had a carefully planned sound system with multiple points for the music to play, not just one large speaker at the front. Kevin also worked with our florist, Ruth Ridgeway, to make sure the lighting captured our florals and made the most out of the room.

    Michael (MKL), our DJ, was a pleasure to work with. We first spoke with him before booking and knew right after he was the one. Almost 2 years later and after postponing due to COIVD he pulled off an amazing event and created the best mixes. With Jarrell you aren't getting a DJ that you meet the day of. Kevin and Ray (the owner) were always available for us and spent countless hours going over ever detail. They both took the time and energy to run through multiple ways our event could be done being that COVID regulations were constantly changing. I can't thank them enough for being there for my husband and I during that time and for centering us when we had so many "what if" questions. Thank you MKL for being absolutely wonderful, Kevin for pulling off a complicated event in a seamless way, and Ray for always being there!

    Exceptional Service

    Kevin & his team were incredible during our wedding process. They were so flexible & understanding when we had to change our wedding date due to COVID. We especially loved the fact they were so thorough, professional and kind via email. Not to mention, DJ MKL was a rockstar during our reception!! We cannot recommend Jarrell Entertainment enough.

    Best DJ/Live Musician Combo Ever

    My husband and I loved working with Jarrell Entertainment. We hired them as the DJ for our recent wedding and ended up adding an electric violin, saxophone and percussionist. They made the planning process incredibly easy, providing us with playlists and consulting on the vibe we wanted for our wedding. Each segment of the event, from the ceremony to cocktails to dinner to dancing was perfect and they incorporated the live instruments beautifully. They were also very accommodating when it came to complying with covid restrictions. I would highly recommend them and would definitely work with them again in the future.

    Jarrell Entertainment's reply:

    Thank you Kate for the recommendation. We loved seeing you and Brian having such a good time with family and friends. Truly a magical day. Wishing you much happiness!

    Highly Professional & Excellent

    Very responsive and amazing follow up, checked in every few days to be sure all was the same. Wonderful experience and when I had a question the answer was within a few hours. They not only provided a DJ, but also a violin and cellist who were terrific. The day of, the DJ was very helpful with set up, location of both his equipment as well as the classical duo

    Thank you Jarrell!

    We loved working with Jarrell. Kevin and Raymond were extremely professional and responsive. They patiently answered our million questions leading up to the wedding and took our many changes in direction in stride. On the day of, the band was excellent and every single one of our guests mentioned how much enjoyment they got from listening. They even learned a Springsteen song for our walk down the aisle – which made the day feel even more personal (and frankly, they did a great job even though you wouldn’t think the song would translate well into a jazz quartet rendition 😊). Thank you Jarrell for adding so much to our day!

    Best Wedding DJ!

    For our September wedding we worked with DJ MLK. He did an incredible job! He knew the exact vibe I was going for and we are still getting compliments about how great the music was at the wedding. He responded to all my last minute additions for music and helped adjust the timeline for the wedding so that everything would run better. He went with the flow when things changed without me even having to tell him. Overall we had a great experience and I would recommend him to anyone!

    DJ MLK - best wedding DJ!

    For our June 2019 wedding worked with MLK to come up with the best mix of today's music, traditional Italian wedding songs and classic oldies. The dance floor was packed the entire night and guests continue to comment on how great the music was at our wedding. This was thanks to MLK's enthusiasm to understand exactly what we were looking for and his professionalism, creativity and expertise were the factors that made it all work. Working with MLK was a breeze - we met once in person and spoke on the phone a few times. We also exchanged emails where he was always responsive and efficient in replying. I would highly suggest hiring MLK for your wedding - he is a true and talented artist!

    Persian-American DJ perfection

    Finding a good DJ that knows Persian and American music for our half and half wedding was a challenge UNTIL we found DJ Emanuel at Jarrell Entertainment! He was PERFECT and understood exactly what wanted and kept the dance floor going all night! And Jarrell Entertainment was great to work with - responsive and and receptive and professional.

    Must-have for your wedding!

    DJ Matty and the entire team at Jarrell Entertainment made our wedding the most perfect and amazing day! They helped us to customize our must-have playlist and kept everyone on the dance floor all night long into the wee hours of the morning at our after party. Music was one of our priorities for our wedding and Jarrell did not disappoint!! We got so many compliments from people about how Matty was the best wedding DJ they've ever heard - and we totally agree! Go book these guys for your wedding right now - you'll be so happy you did!!!

    Jarrell did an amazing job organizing both the ceremony and reception music for the wedding. The jazz trio for the ceremony was fantastic, even agreeing to learn a guitar solo for my walk down the aisle. DJ Flo was absolutely awesome at the reception. He really knew how to read the crowd and listened to our musical preferences. Thank you guys so much!

    We hired DJ Flo for our wedding. He was the BEST. He was super responsive, easy to work with, and can read the crowd to keep everyone on their feet. We gave him our favorite songs and generally what we wanted and he nailed it. We had so many positive comments about the music and we didnt stop dancing the whole night. Would highly recommend!

    Jarrell has a large list of DJs and we chose MKL after listening to his mixes which are on the Jarrell website. Everyone in the office was great to work with, and MKL was very helpful with getting us started on the timeline for the evening. He was so great to work with the day of, and many people came up to us to say he was one of the best DJs they have seen at a wedding.

    The team at Jarrell Entertainement were great, Uma was so helpful. DJ Flo was awesome, such a character. The moment we heard his mixes we knew he was the DJ for us. He is really skilled, not to mention just totally got our music vibe. My husband and I have very different music tastes and he was able to marry our choices perfectly and keep the guests dancing throughout the night. He also did a great job on timings with our wedding planner to make sure that speeches, and announcements were perfectly well, announced! We were super impressed! Can't recommend him and the Jarrell team enough.

    I cannot speak highly enough about Jarrell Entertainment... they were wonderful to work with and made the entire process seamless for us. From our original contact with them going over preliminary plans, to when we got into more specific details, choosing a DJ and a live music trio, picking music, going over last-minute details... everything was handled with the utmost professionalism and not one detail slipped through the cracks. Lastly, we had some very last-minute changes that were out of our control, and they could not have been more accommodating and understanding. Ray & Uma (whom we dealt with for all of the organizing) were incredible, and DJ FLO brought the house down at the wedding. We highly recommend working with this wonderful organization.

    Jarrell absolutely crushed it for our wedding. DJ Flo was fantastic, and the party was awesome. He understood EXACTLY what we wanted and executed to perfection. Highly recommended.

    Thank you Matthew for the "crushing" review. That's how we like it! Congratulations and best wishes! The JE Team
