DJ By Jake

DJ Jake was absolutely amazing throughout the booking process. He was very easy to get in touch with and answered all of my questions promptly. After shopping around it was clear that DJ Jake has the best price as well! When the day of my wedding arrived I was able to meet DJ Nick who was ours for the night. He was incredibly friendly and professional. Nick was a HUGE hit with my entire family. He managed to get the thirty year old guests as well as the seventy year old guests all out on the dance floor at the same time! We all had an amazing night which we owe to the entertainment!

Our wedding was on 4/13/13. I had found DJ by Jake on wedding wire and emailed Jake to see about availability and prices. He emailed me back right away and his prices sounded great. My husband and I decided to meet with him. He was very flexible when setting up a time/place to meet and was very friendly and professional when we met at Starbucks. He answered all of our questions and gave suggestions. He also didn't change the original quote he gave us (which I can't say the same for most of the other vendors I spoke to throughout all of wedding planning). Putting down the deposit and putting in our requests was very easy because it was through his website. As the wedding got closer, my husband called him with a question about the website and he called back right away and agreed to meet with us again to go over details. The night of the wedding went very well. Jake is very good at his job of knowing which songs to play when so the whole night makes sense. He did a great job MCing as well. He has a loud clear voice but does not come off sounding like a game show host. My family had a few surprises for me that Jake was also unaware of but he worked them into the timeline very smoothly. I would highly recommend Jake to a friend.

I Highly recommend DJ by Jake for your DJ needs. Jake walked us through the process, kept in contact as time passed and as the date drew near he made sure we were aware of everything that was going on and exactly what would happen on the day of our wedding. He showed up totally prepared and with everything down to the second of how we wanted it. He checked in with us when small changes happened and was brief and to the point to not interrupt our day. We received many, many compliments about the music and it's all thanks to DJ by Jake.

Jake was great. We were impressed by how responsive and flexible he was. Most importantly, he made everything incredibly easy both during the planning process and at the reception. We would definitely hire him again.

Jake was great for organizing everything and the online interface for music selection was very handy. We had Kevin as our actual event DJ and he was great! We selected a lot of the music, but he mixed it very well and was great at reading the room. We also didn't want an overbearing DJ personality running the show, and Kevin was a perfect fit! Everyone kept commenting on how great the DJ was - total success!!!

We worked with DJ Nick for our ceremony and reception music. He kept open communication from the start and the on-line services DJ by Jake provides made getting all of my selections in order. My husband and I are very pleased with how the reception flowed and the music never stopped. There were always people on the dance floor. Nick checked in with us throughout the evening to be sure we were hearing what we wanted, and was very friendly and professional. We had a great experience!

Our wedding was so much fun! Jake helped that by keeping our guests on the dance floor. He was very responsive to us and the guests! We had such an amazing time :)

They were a pleasure to work with. We had a number of phone "conferences" to ensure they played the exact type of music we wanted to. They were also military friendly. Overall we couldn't have been more pleased.

Great DJ. With a small wedding we were really worried about keeping as many people on the dance floor as possible and DJ Nick really took care of this! We would recommend him for any event. Very professional.

DJ by Jake was awesome! He was extrememly efficient at responding to email, and very professional! He offered a teacher discount, and his online song selection option was so helpful! I would absolutely recommend him to friends and family!

I'm so glad I hired DJ by Jake for our wedding. We worked with Nathan and he was super professional and responsive. He played exactly what we had talked about and adapted to our style flawlessly. Amazing prices too!

We were very happy with DJ Jake! He was exactly what we were looking for in a DJ. He was very professional, played great music, kept everyone dancing, and did an excellent job MCing our wedding without making himself the focus of the evening. We only gave him a short list of requested songs as well as a short do-not-play list and let him take everything from there. DJ Jake was a great value. We would not hesitate to recommend him!

Nicole and I used DJ Jake for our wedding. We had a very non traditional wedding, with a very specific playlist for Jake to use. He was fantastic in working with us and our requests. He knew the songs (some pretty obscure) and played them in the perfect mix. Great job at mixing in some songs that were not on the playlist as well. We would recommend that anyone who wants a very professional, knowledgeable DJ at an affordable price, DJ Jake is your man!

We were glad we chose DJ by Jake. He got everyone out on the dance floor and appeared very experienced.

Jake was great! I was a little slow on getting my paperwork (song requests etc) in... some of the paperwork wasn't done until the Saturday of my wedding, and Jake was able to still provide personallized music which was great! Once our dance floor opened up, it wasn't empty (this is partly due to the guests... but also due to Jake.) Thanks so much!!!

Where do I even begin?! Jake is awesome!! He was so attentive and kept the party going all night. We had so much fun, and Jake played a large role in that. Don't hesitate in booking him for your wedding!!

Nathan was great and I would highly recommend him to others.

Jake is easy to work with and very professional. He provides a site that's easy to use where you can log in all the music you want to play for each part of the reception (first dance, parents dances, etc.) along with any other requests or special instructions. You can add in all the songs you'd like for dancing and even prioritize them. Once you've filled out all the information online Jake sits down with you to go over it all. The day of the wedding Jake did a great job running the show. He is great at balancing out the songs and kept the dance floor busy all night long. I've been to a lot of weddings and Jake is definitely the best. He comes highly recommended!

SO MUCH FUN! Jake's partner Nick was our wedding DJ and we all had so much fun! We wanted a specific sound for each part of our wedding and Nick did an absolutely wonderful job putting it all together! He even worked with our last minute request of specific CDs that we only had time to get to him ON THE BIG DAY! The online music library was a great planning tool and Nick stood by our choices! There was always someone on the dance floor - even during dinner! Highly recommended! Great personality, great value, great service!

Jake is an amazing DJ. He had everyone, young and old, up and dancing all night! Jake worked with us to play the music we liked and he had some great suggestions. He really is willing to work with you to make your night great! I am so impressed by Jake's professionalism. He really allowed us to relax and enjoy our evening. =D

Thank you to Nick for wonderful evening. Honestly, I think the best part was how many people came up to Frank and I after the wedding and said, the music was great, but most importantly, the DJ didn't blast the music so conversation and mingling could still happen. :) Thank you!

Jake was great. I picked him off the reviews on this site and I am glad I did. He played a wide range of music that kept people dancing all night long. I got many compliments from guests of all ages about his song choices. He didn't talk much, and when he did it was funny. Using his site ahead of time I was able to communicate what I wanted easily. That was important for me as I planned the wedding from out of state. He provided great services for a really good price.

Jake was not available for our wedding as he had a wedding booked for that date already; Nick was free however and did a wonderful job! Jake still handled all of the business side of things, but Nick turned out to be just the right fit personality wise for us, and played some custom tracks that we sent him over email. He also did a great job MC'ing, and his selection and play order of music was almost hypnotic, it was difficult to get off the dance floor! We would recommend DJ by Jake in a heart beat.

Jake was great throughout my whole wedding planning process. We had a smaller wedding, and his set up was perfect. I also really enjoyed his online music catalog and timeline requests. He was very organized and professional, and kept my wedding reception flowing smoothly all night. Most importantly, he played great music that had everyone dancing all night long. I would highly recommend DJ by Jake to any brides looking for a DJ for their wedding! Thanks Jake!

Jake was exactly what we wanted in a wedding DJ. We did not want a DJ who was going to be eccentric or overly insert themselves into the party. He kept it simple and kept with the schedule. He did a great job coordinating with all of the events with the wedding, like when to be seated, announcing the wedding party and parents, when to start the buffet, toasts, special dances, etc... We requested songs of various genres prior to the wedding, and he made sure to play them at the right times and made sure everything flowed together smoothly. We've been to weddings where the DJs were so sporadic with the music that the guests couldn't consistently have fun on the dance floor; Jake made sure with his selections that once people were on the floor, they would stay there. Our ceremony and reception were at the same site, and Jake used a smaller sound system where the ceremony was and played the music for that as well (and made great song suggestions as well).
When meeting and communicating with Jake in the months prior to the wedding, he was always very clear and always responded quickly. He was very easy to work with.

absolutely amazing! couldnt have asked for better

Jake was excellent! We met only twice before our wedding and his professionalism made our wedding reception tremendous. He provided all the music we asked for but also added music that was of the same era. We greatly apprciated that he just kept the music going. Very highly recommend!!

Jake is a fantastic DJ! Very professional, very experienced and a pleasure to work with. I really loved his online music portal where we could request songs ahead of time and could really think about the type of music we wanted at our celebration. Jake's music choices got our friends out on the dance floor before our meal was served, and I think that's a testament to how great his DJ skills are. I highly recommend him!!

Jake was excellent! Our guests were up and dancing before dinner was even finished, and he reacted to music alluded to during Best Man / Matron of Honor / Welcome speeches, and had it cued up and ready to go. He was very flexible, played all of the music that we wanted him to play, he "read" the crowd, and kept the dance floor packed. We were very happy with his work.

Jake was great; he was professional, responsive, and easy going. He played a great range of music and worked well with our play list. There were a few songs on our play list that it would have been better if they were played at a different time of the night, but you can specify with a note when you would like a song played (cocktail hour, dinner, dancing, etc). He didn't talk too much on the mic during the night, which was great, I don't like it when the DJ is too talkative. And he had no gimmicks at all, which was also great. He just played great music and kept the night going. Our guests had nothing but great things to say about him as well.

We heard from so many of our guests that ours was one of the most fun weddings they had ever been too. I am sure that most people hear that about their weddings, but we are pretty confident that our guests weren’t lying. The dance floor was packed for the entire evening and even non-dancers got up once or twice.

We met with Jake about five months before the wedding to discuss the feel of the event. He was very personable and was quick to reassure us that his focus at the wedding would be keeping the music and the dancing going. He said that he would not focus on being a big emcee and that we would be able to follow the mood of the crowd. After setting up the deposit and all the formalities, we had access to a website that we could use to select music for the structured dances (first, mothers’, last) which was pretty easy and useful.

The night of the wedding itself was great. The dance floor was full for the whole evening and he didn’t even have to play line dances! Jake only played two slow songs, which was absolutely perfect. One of the things that was most impressive was that there were one or two technical glitches (as there will be at every wedding), and Jake handled them smoothly and confidently. I have never seen three hours of constant dancing at a wedding!

Jake was awesome! He played the songs we asked for and more importantly played songs that kept people on the dance floor and having a good time. We had so many people tell us that it was one of the best weddings they had ever been to, and a huge part of that was the music. Not only that, he was great to work with. We highly recommend him!!

Jake was the DJ for our 5 hour wedding reception this past August. Our venue had two connecting rooms, one for cocktail hour/dancing and a dining room, and Jake had set-ups with microphones in both rooms. He did our introductions and all of the announcements at the reception (including announcements telling guests to move between rooms). He isn't a "game show host" announcer, he pretty much just let the music speak for itself. He has an online planning system which makes it pretty easy for clients to provide their timeline, names of wedding party and any other requests/information he needs to know, so we had no issues with any of the logistics. The online planner is linked to his music library which has most songs you would hear at weddings. If you really want a song he doesn't have I think you can contact him and he will add it for you though. On the day of the wedding, we were behind the schedule I had set on the online planner, and Jake did a great job trying to keep us on track (5 hours flies by so much faster than you would think!). In terms of the music itself, some of our guests actually commented on how nice the music was during dinner/cocktail hour, and Jake had picked most of the songs himself. For the dancing part of the reception, Jake did a great job playing the right songs to get everyone to dance, and for the last hour of the reception pretty much everyone there was dancing. Overall I would recommend DJ Jake to anyone looking for a laid-back DJ who knows what he is doing and knows how to play the right songs at the right time so your guests will enjoy the music and have a great time.

Jake was fantastic, he was always available for a last minute question and very helpful with suggestions. The Vitamin String Quartette was his idea and everyone LOVED it! He played our requests and mixed his own choices in with them, people were on the dance floor all night and barely came up for air! Overall, fantastic DJ with a great skill for weddings and the best deal out there by far! LOVED the experience we had with him!

Jake did an awesome job. He was very responsive and flexible as we kind of winged it along as to what were going to do and the timing of things. Jake was very professional and I would highly recommend his services!

Jake was great! His communication whenever I had a question or concern was always fast and helpful. He also made it easy to figure out what I needed to pick songs for (cake cutting, boquet toss, etc), as I originally didn't think about these types of things. He also gave me some recommendations for music when I had no idea what to pick. Jake definitely kept the entire crowd on the dancefloor all night and he didn't interfere with lots of cheesy MC'ing like some other DJ's do. He was professional and everyone had a great time! I am very happy with Jake's service and would recommend him to anyone!

Jake was very professional and easy going. We even changed one of our wedding songs at the last minute and did not even stump him. He was GREAT!

Jake was the one and only DJ we interviewed..After meeting him and talking to him we knew he was the one we wanted at our wedding.He was organized,professional and overall a great guy..He knows his stuff and does it wonderfully..Everyone complimented on the music and style..I was super impressed by the fact that he asked our wedding colors and came dressed in them.. I felt that to be so respectful and really could you ask for anymore.I will recommend DJ Jake to everyone .. Thanks Jake for making our wedding AWESOME!!!!

Jake was great throughout the entire process. He was always responsive, flexible, and helpful... and on the big day was incredibly professional and made sure to communicate with us throughout the reception to make sure everything was up to par! We had a lot of specific requests and he carried each out flawlessly. We had a day wedding and I can honestly say EVERYONE was on the dance floor the whole time, including the old folks! Can't beat the service and can't beat the price. Thanks Jake!

couldnt of asked for anything better. will def be recommending to all who ask

Dj By Jake (Jake Lewis) was an awesome DJ. Jake was great to work with. He was so flexible with what we wanted at our wedding and wanted to do the best to make the day exactly as we wanted. He was always available to meet and/or answer my questions. Jake is also affordable which is just an added bonus to how awesome he and his services were. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a great DJ! Thanks Jake.

Jake did a fantastic job of balancing our requests with our guests'. The music he selected during dinner really complemented the music we requested for the rest of the evening.

It was important to my husband and I that the music selection include some holiday music and Jake really honored that request with a tasteful mix of upbeat holiday songs.

We highly recommend DJ By Jake!

Jake was the DJ for our wedding - we were so happy with him. Jake was very professional - had helpful suggestions for songs - has an excellent website to organize and review your wedding song choices - was on time - dressed very well - played exactly the songs that we wanted and didn't play the songs that we didn't want - was a great mc - friendly, great rapport with the guests - not loud, but reserved and did not become the center of attention himself - very fairly priced. We highly recommend Jake as a DJ.

Jake did a great job at our wedding! He kept everyone on the dance floor all night! He was really easy to work with and very reasonably priced. We would definately reccomend him to your wedding!

It was better than I could have hoped for. I want to thank Jake for making our day so special. His professionalism and expertise in his field will take any event to the next level. I would be happy to recommend him to anyone.

My husband was a college radio DJ back in the day, so he had strong opinions about the DJ for our wedding, and Jake surpassed even his expectations. We had a somewhat quirky list of songs and artists we wanted played, and Jake did a great job not only including everything we wanted, but expertly choosing other music to go around the specific selections. Our guests kept commenting on how great the DJ was and how they could tell by the music they were at *our* wedding and not just a generic fill-in-the-blanks wedding. His professional (yet relaxed, and not at all in-your-face) demeanor was also very much appreciated. On the technical side, his equipment was excellent (or so says my husband, not my area of expertise), and the volume was also adjusted perfectly to the space we were in and the pace of the day (something that's been a problem at other weddings I've attended - no blasting out eardrums during dinner here!). I'm rating Jake a 5 out of 5 on value for cost (as well as the other measures) and to be honest, would still consider his services a great value even if he'd charged more.

Dj By Jake (Jake Lewis) was an awesome DJ. He was very pleasant to work with and we are still getting comments on what a good job he did. He was always on time when we needed to meet to discuss things and always friendly. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a great DJ at a great price! Thanks for the great experience Jake!

You do yourself and your wedding a disservice by NOT hiring Jake. He is awesome! He isn't invasive, or smarmy and he isn't remotely wacky or misguided. He simply plays great music. Tell him what you want to hear and he will play exactly that. Jake can really read a crowd and play exactly what they need to hear to keep their bums a shaking all night on the dance floor. And dance they did. Our dance floor was packed all evening.

And he does this all affordably. Really, really affordably. He was between 1/3 or 1/2 the price of the majority of popular Boston area DJ's.

Jake was the ultimate professional from the initial meeting right up to the wedding. Our wedding was multicultural - Irish and Puerto Rican and he accommodated both cultures. I just gave him the list of the latin music and he did the rest. Jake was super organized and kept the wedding timeline perfectly. He also kept the dance floor going and would change up the music when the time was right. Jake's price was also just right. Don't think you will get less service because other DJs charge higher prices. I guarantee you will be happy with Jake. He's a nice person and a class act.

Jake was a true professional. His music got people on the dance floor. He provided the groom and I with a truly unforgettable, and stress-free party. Thanks Jake!

Jake was an awesome DJ. I did not have one complaint of him. He did exactly what I asked him to do. He was very organized and keeps in touch with you throughout the planning process. He kept good music going and kept me on track throughout the night. I was kind of nervous at first choosing Dj's but he just seemed to be a good choice and I'm glad I chose him.

Jake was wonderful to work with. We all had an amazing time. He was always on top of everything and really kept the party going. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a wonderful DJ.

Jake came to our rehearsal dinner and provided a DJ'd trivia game during dinner that our relatives are all still talking about! It turned what can be a boring dinner into something fun and really got everyone interacting with the new relatives.

Jake DJ'd our wedding on New Years at the Hyatt Harborside. He was phenomenal. He was very conscientious and communicated with us regularly before the event. During the event the music was perfect and changed throughout the evening based on the crowd that remained (became more clubby after the relatives mostly left). There was literally not a single person who didn't dance at some point. Having been to a ton of weddings/bar mitzvahs...I can truly say that Jake is exceptional. We would use him again in a second.

DJ By Jake was a great DJ for my wedding. Everyone was on the dance floor and having a great time. It really was an amazing wedding because of the great music we had.

Jake did a fantastic job DJ'ing our 100 person wedding. He was open to playing all the songs we requested and even spliced music for us. I would recommend him for any wedding.

We were extremely pleased with Jake's work. We had many people from our wedding comment on how good the music was. Everyone was dancing the whole night. Only suggestion is a larger play list. We had some song requests for greek and irish songs which were not available.

DJ By Jake provided an excellent DJ service for our wedding. We were able to provide him with a list of songs that we would like to be played on the big day and he played a large amount of them. He also played a great mix of other songs. My guests were really happy and had a great time. Just about everyone was on the dance floor by the end of the night. He definetly helped to make our wedding fun and memorable. We were very happy with the price and the service. We would highly recommend this service.

Jake was amazing! He went out of his way to find and play some obscure music my husband likes. He played the songs we loved and didn't play the songs we preferred not to hear. He was professional and all my guests commented how great the music selection was. He had everyone on the dance floor!

I got married last April. Jake made our Wedding great. He was very professional and everyone I talked to had a great time. The cost and service were great

Jake was excellent. I just needed a DJ for few hours during my reception, not during the entire event (since I had live music for the ceremony and cocktail) and he was more than willing to be flexible in that way. Many other DJs I spoke to had a minimum of 4-5 hours. Jake was professional, nice, and was just very good at playing the types of music we liked during the reception. He seemed to have a good pulse on the situation.
Of all the vendors we used for our wedding, Jake was by far one of the ones we were most pleased with. If I ever had a need for a DJ again, I would definitely use Jake.

Jake was very professional and played the music we had requested. He was very friendly and I would recommend him to anyone.

I worked with Jake at the Boston Marriott Newton. Jake was professional and worked closely with the bride and groom to create the perfect song list that had all the guests on the dance floor. Jake is a really nice guy and I feel he takes into account his clients style to help put together the perfect song list and entertainment for any event. I look forward to working with DJ by Jake again this season!

Had a great night working along side Jake! He kept the crowd dancing and providing me my much needed dance shots. Hope to work with him again...

Jake Lewis of DJ By Jake is the consummate performer and MC. His knowledge of music, be it in any genre, will guarentee you an event the way you envision it. Jake is able to play to the crowd leaving you and your guests with a satisfied feeling as they leave the party saying "That was an awesome DJ!" I highly recommend DJ By Jake to anyone for any event. Jake rocks a party the way every DJ should.

I recently had the pleasure of photographing a wedding reception where Jake was the DJ and he did a wonderful job of managing the night's festivities and getting the party started and playing music that kept the dance floor filled. Looking forward to working with Jake again.

I am pleased to be able to endorse Jake Lewis, the owner and operator of DJ By Jake. He is a real straightforward, no nonsense professional. He's also a genuinely good guy. I know first hand the effort he puts into the planning of a wedding. On many occasions, when I have been unable to assist a customer because I was already booked, I was confident in recommending Jake as the first person they speak with. If anyone is looking for a DJ in the greater Boston area, they will do well with Jake.
