We are still on such a high after a spectacular wedding experience with Jarrell Entertainment ! We truly can't express how perfect all the music was on Saturday. From the harpist setting such a moving tone for the ceremony, to the Dixons getting everyone excited for the reception, and then the entire set by DJ Inflyt and the Evolution band being so fresh and perfectly us — it was everything we dreamed of and more. We still don’t know how “i want to be your girlfriend” by girl in red was played at the absolute best moment right before the cake cutting -- it’s one of our favorites and the experience was so emblematic of how we felt like they understood our musical tastes so exceptionally well, the entire night! So many people came up to us afterwards and said that they usually never dance this much but that they didn't want to stop because this was the best wedding playlist they'd ever heard -- and we couldn't agree more!! We are already counting down for future parties with Jarrell Entertainment. Highly highly recommend!

We hired DJ MKL for our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with our choice! From the very beginning, they were professional, responsive, and genuinely SO excited to be part of our big day. The music was spot on—he did such an incredible job at reading the crowd perfectly and kept the dance floor packed ALL NIGHT LONG!!!! Guests of all ages were raving about the energy and how much fun they had. MKL also helped with announcements and transitions throughout the evening, making everything flow seamlessly. It really felt like they were invested in making our wedding unforgettable, and they absolutely delivered. We couldn't have dreamed of a better experience, and look forward to our future events with DJ MKL and Jarrell Entertainment! If you're looking for a talented, reliable, and fun DJ who truly cares about making your event amazing, look no further. Highly recommend!

I am so happy we choose the Evolution Hybrid DJ band for my daughter's wedding in Charleston on 11/03/24. Our DJ was Ray and our band had a vocalist, electric violin, electric guitar, saxophone, trumpet, percussion and drums. The guitar, sax and violin played some jazz during dinner which was beautiful and then after dinner we had the DJ and band playing and they were amazing! All the guests just couldn't stop complimenting us on our band choice! The dance floor was always full! From the beginning of the planning until the end, Jarrell Entertainment was a breeze to work with. We had multiple meetings with Nancy, Elizabeth and Ray to make sure band knew what my daughter and son-in-law wanted to be played and how they wanted the evening to flow! I would one hundred percent use Jarrell Entertainment again!

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!

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!

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!

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 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

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.

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!!

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!!

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.

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.

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.
