Washington Talent FTW

We had a relatively complicated ask for Jake and Washington Talent. Not only did he pull it off flawlessly, but he made the whole process easy, clean, and made us feel great and excited in the process. It's clear why Washington Talent has been such a key name in this town for many years, and my wife and I simply cannot recommend them enough. Professional thru and thru, and our wedding was better because of it.

Great experience

DJ Jake did a great job at our wedding reception! He listened to what we wanted, helped us come up with an event timeline, and made helpful suggestions. We provided a playlist of songs we liked, and Jake used that as a jumping off point for the music at the reception. Our guests all had a great time! We also hired a solo violinist through Washington Talent to play during the ceremony and cocktail hour - she did a great job as well.

High Energy DJ

Jake was an amazing vendor to work with. He and his team were extremely responsive, professional, and truly set the bar when it came to music and mixing. The quality of the music was above the rest and kept the energy exactly where it needed to be throughout the event. I especially appreciated having a meeting scheduled prior to the wedding to go over all the final details—it made the wedding day run incredibly smoothly. I would absolutely recommend Jake to all of my couples getting married and look forward to working together again in the future.

Hire DJ JAKE for the best party of your life!

When planning our wedding, one of the only things we knew we wanted was the night to be a big dance party … DJ Jake delivered just that!! He was so fun, easy to plan with, and made the reception so seamless for us. He brought the best energy to get our guests excited and dancing. The dance floor was packed the ENTIRE night - all our guests could not stop talking about how they had never been to a wedding where EVERYONE danced for so long. Other guests told me they just could not get off the dance floor because each song that came on was another awesome hit! Jake totally got our vibe and picked the best songs for our night just from a few of our “must have songs. ”It was truly the best and most fun night of our lives, and DJ Jake played a HUGE part in making that happen. Through Jake we also hired a strings duo for our ceremony & cocktail hour, a saxophone player for the reception, and uplights for the ballroom. Each was 1000% worth it and added the most special touch to our day! Thank you for everything, Jake!!

We loved DJ Jake!

Ever since our first call with DJ Jake, we knew we had to have him as our wedding DJ! His personality is upbeat, fun, and full of energy - everything you want a DJ and MC to be. His communication throughout the process was fast, and he adapted to last minute changes and requests with no issue. We had people on the dance floor the entire night! He also did an AMAZING job leading the hora. We had a good chunk of guests that had never participated in a hora before, and he gave great instructions that made everyone not only feel comfortable participating but also have a great time while dancing to the hora and helping with the chair lift. Thank you DJ Jake for making our wedding the fun party that it was!
