Jarrell Entertainment

We went with DJ Matty for our wedding and he was wonderful. He's not only talented, quick and knowledgeable about music and weddings in general but also very easy to work with, super professional and overall just a great guy. We could not have asked for a better DJ and would highly recommend him to anyone getting married or throwing an equally important event. A DJ can make or break a wedding and he definitely made ours. Thanks Matty and the entire Jarrell Entertainment team! -Yoona and...

The Best. My wife and I had been to a friend's wedding where Ray had DJ'd, and there was no doubt when we were planning our own wedding, that he would be the only choice. We knew he was great going in, but he still managed to exceed our expectations. To put it best, it normally takes a LOT to get me up dancing, and with Ray, you can't get me off the dance floor. Ray works with you to take your vision and create a night better than you could have imagined. He customized music for special requests, mixed a crazy array of songs and beats, and created an atmosphere that set the tone for our night. Our guests are still raving about how amazing our DJ was, and my sister (Who just got engaged) has already booked Ray for her own wedding next summer. When you're planning a wedding, all you want is for your guests to be up dancing and having a great time all night, and that is exactly what Ray makes happen. There are no swirling multi-colored lights, and no gimmicks.....Just a sleek set up and absolutely amazing music. Don't stress over your choice of DJ's. Ray Jarrell is a no brainer.

Where to even begin - we asked Jarrell Entertainment to handle DJ duties for both Friday and Saturday of our wedding. Ray was on hand Friday night for our kickoff cocktail party and knew exactly how to read the mood of our guests. From light music during dinner to a surprise dance party as the guests arrived, it was all perfect. For our after party at the wedding he was even better. I'm pretty sure some of our guests tried to sign him on for a few more hours after the party had ended. We received such great feedback over your choice in music and ability to really get people dancing and we couldn't agree more ourselves. Thank you for making our wedding truly special!

We used Jarrell Entertainment for our wedding and could not have been happier~ JE was very professional, he looked great, and the song selection was "PHENOMENAL" My husband and I can't thank JE enough for playing such a huge role in making our wedding reception a big SUCCESS! Definitely " TWO THUMBS UP JE!!"

Our wedding was absolutely perfect! Highly reccomend Jarrell entertainment

Working with Ray Jarrell and his team was a pleasure. They were very responsive and really listened to what we wanted for our wedding-- we had an amazing mariachi band for the cocktail hour and then it was non-stop dancing at the reception. It was an amazing party!!! I highly recommend working with Jarrell Entertainment.

It was such a pleasure to work with Jarrell Entertainment for our wedding reception. Ray was very accommodating to our busy schedules when we met with him. David, who was the DJ spinning at the wedding, listened to our requests and visions and incorporated them into the evening while bringing his own ideas in the mix. The guests had a blast and the dance floor was full for hours and hours. It was an evening full of joy and fun, thanks to the wonderful music and entertainment provided by JE. Thanks Ray, David, and Uma, for being professional, friendly, and just wonderful. I'm recommending you to every future bride and groom I meet. :)

We were really happy to have Matty at our wedding. He managed proceedings excellently so that introductions, speeches and dancing all ran smoothly. He came up with a great playlist which suited our guests and had everyone on the dance floor for two and half hours until we had to close. The next day everyone was complaining about how much their feet hurt because no one had danced so much in really long time!

From the city to the country, Ray and his crew will arrange the perfect atmosphere for your event. Ray provided the music for our small garden wedding last September. Our guests were from all aspects of life and age ... my Uncle had so much fun he didn't walk for 3 days after and my 86 year old friend danced the night away. All our friends and family are still talking about the most amazing time we all had! Thanks Ray!!!

I AGREE with everything Lauren (the review before mine) had to say about Ray and JE Entertainment. A company of amazing high-end quality and style with a very affordable budget! Ray Saved The Day: The moment I spoke to Ray over the phone, I knew I wanted to work with him. Initially, I had found a DJ on craigslist thinking I could save a lot of money that way. In the end, it was a disaster and 2 weeks before the wedding, the first person I thought of was Ray/Jarrell Entertainment. He remembered me from our conversation a year before. He was able to find me a DJ last minute (DJ Medina) who was amazing. He was also accomodating in providing the right equipment and set up for a rustic outdoor wedding (see link to pictures below featured on Style Me Pretty). In Working with Ray: He's completely professional, down to earth and patiently understood my Bride-like-antics. I would work with Ray and his team in a heartbeat. His company is at the level of taste and style that I was looking (my wedding would be categorized as high-end but low-key). One thing I wanted to avoid was the typical wedding DJ (tux, middle-aged man with a mustache and cheesy voice over the mic...sorry if you're that guy, don't mean to insult you). Ray Also understood my budget and did not compromise on service because of it. In working with DJ Medina: He was so easy going and accomodating and was so on point in reading the crowd and the timing. He did not needed to be managed at all on the day of the event. He showed up on time (despite the rural location and hard to find private venue), and knew exactly who to talk to and what to do. He had the guests dancing till the place was shut down. I could not be more happy with DJ Medina. Since my own wedding, I've also entered into the wedding business as a photographer, and Ray / Jarrell Entertainment will be my one vendor I will stand behind when it comes to providing music and entertainment. See my wedding which Jarrell Entertainment provided services for: http://www.stylemepretty.com/2011/05/02/new-york-wedding-by-christian-oth-studio/ Go with Ray and team and have one less worry on your plate when planning a wedding. It is worth it. Just remember, music and entertainment is 75% of what makes a great party/event. That's a high percentage to compromise on...take it from someone who almost did.

Let's cut straight to the chase--Ray and his team are AMAZING! If we could give them a 10/10, we would. The next time we have a special occasion where we can hire a DJ, Ray will be our guy! My husband and I interviewed a bunch of bands and DJs in the NYC area for our June 2010 wedding at the W NY. Here was our list of “musts”: -A GREAT mix of music -Someone who understood us and could build on our music taste -Reasonable price with no hidden fees -Someone who could cater to our friends, parents and grandparents -Someone who could keep the dace floor packed all night -Someone who is as passionate about music as my husband and I are -Someone who would not take over the evening with announcements and one-liners -Professionalism and NO cheese When we first talked to Ray, we immediately knew that he was not your average wedding DJ. He had all of our “musts” and had worked with the best and had built a reputation for packing the floor. There is no cheese with Ray. He has great taste in music and knows how to read the crowd unlike anyone I’ve seen before. Not only is he talented and extremely professional, he is also well connected! Ray helped us secure a drummer (amazing), a three piece band AND our wedding videographers—who were beyond fabulous. On the day of our wedding, Ray literally blew us away! Almost a year later, all of our friends are STILL talking about the music and how much fun they had dancing. My mother-in-law, who is somewhat difficult to please and not a fan of DJs, actually asked Ray to stay and play for an extra hour because she—and everyone else—enjoyed the music so much! We can’t thank the guys at Jarrell Entertainment enough for a fantastic job!!!

You need look no further for a more talented, professional, warm, totally rocking DJ and person. I have know Ray for years; he has been spinning at many of the events I have attended/planned and every time I'm blown away by the level of FUN he takes each event. AMAZING all the way around.

I was really excited to have this DJ company, especially as it was a wedding gift from my mom (and an expensive one at that, their flat rate is $2,500 for 4 hours). We met with Ray before the wedding to discuss the kind of music we like and the vibe we wanted at our wedding. They played most of the songs we specifically requested and were very good about not accepting requests from our guests. They didn\'t play any of the \"do not play\" songs. They definitely got people on the dance floor! My only complaint is that our particular DJ was not as experienced as others from this company and so he was not as good at mixing/blending the songs together, but he was leaps and bounds better than any DJ I\'ve ever encountered at a wedding and still great. I should also mention that they worked on very short notice with us and we were able to book 3 months before our wedding and change the venue twice after booking them.
