CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

"Hired Justin for my wedding last Friday. Best decision ever, by far. We didn't have a typical wedding and held the reception at a small bar with a focus on partying rather than the traditional wedding customs - father/daughter dance, garter toss, money dance, etc. Justin kept people dancing from start to finish. I literally had almost every guest ask me about him and who he is. Everyone was jockin the music selection and transitions. Mind you, this was a super diverse crowd in both age and musical tastes. However, Justin totally killed it. Additionally, Justin is very professional and easy to work with. I didn't have to worry about anything. We also hired him for our photo booth and that aspect was very easy and a big hit with our guests as well. His attendant working the booth, Zach, was super chill, hella fun, and participated in some photo booth fun with me and my guests. I can't recommend Justin enough. I want to throw a random ass party just so that I can hire him again. He's that good!"

"I hired Justin for a little over a year ago (got married 04/05/19) to be my DJ at my wedding. I read great things about him so I was really excited, and he was the first vendor we booked! I got a chance to look over his website and saw that what he had to offer was everything we wanted in a DJ. It was good to find someone who offered options and was flexible on letting the bride & groom choose all of their own music. Closer to the wedding I would receive emails on details that we needed to provide like our timeline and our package choices. It was good to get correspondence since I was super busy with planning. We ended up going with the uplights, bogo monogram and the dancing on a cloud. A few days before the wedding I was able to finally meet with Justin at my venue. It was so great to be able to get feedback from him and suggestions on our set-up. He made us feel so comfortable to leave everything in his hands. We went over the timeline and music again and he also asked for pronunciations of the wedding party which I truly appreciated. Our wedding day was beautiful! Justin had everything running smoothly. The music was perfect and he did a wonderful job announcing our party into the reception. He also did an amazing job with our lights and the dancing on the clouds. It was like a dream! I highly recommend Justin for being so professional & easy to work with. We got so many compliments from people telling us how great the DJ was. It was worth every penny!"

"This review is for Justin @ JustINtertainment, I would like to say THANK YOU and show much appreciation from the bottom of our hearts for our AMAZING wedding day. Our wedding was on June 30, 2018 in Sacramento in 97 degree weather and despite the blazing heat you came and you DELIVERED !!! I knew our wedding was in good hands and I was right! He was such a perfectionist from his setup, interaction with our guests, and the music. He kept our guests on their feet the whole night and they all enjoyed themselves to the fullest as we did. This is all we really wanted. We received so many compliments on you and the music, everyone loved the playlist. They couldn't stop saying good things about you and your services. Thank you for all the emails and your time for making our day so perfect. You were so on top of everything and most importantly PROMPT that I never had to reach out to you once. You made the process and journey so easy. It was such a great feeling knowing I didn't have to worry about a thing. Only thing I wish we could have done was take a pic with you for our memories. Everything just went so fast. But all in all, we will never forget our day and the memories. Everything was flawless and I HIGHLY recommend any couple looking for a DJ! I just want to wish you continued success as your work shows nothing but that. We will be contacting you again for upcoming parties..... You truly are the BEST!"
