Dream Day DJs featuring Jake Ritchie

I HIGHLY recommend Dream Day DJs and Jake. He was an integral part to our day, and it would not have been the same without him.

Our venue recommended Jake to us, and we are so thankful to have found him. We had intended on doing the ceremony and reception music ourselves - but just couldn't get it together. That led us to finding and contacting Jake rather late in the game. We communicated via email since we lived out of state. Jake was prompt in his responses, clear and honest with his pricing, and flexible and understanding to our needs and desires.

Jake's system of submitting our timeline, song requests and all other pertinent information for our wedding day via email was great. It allowed instant communication, corrections and collaboration. He was always eager to help, and made us feel as if we were his highest priority.

Jake was early, professional and allowed me to enjoy our day. He was integral to our wedding flowing smoothly, running on time, and in helping the guests enjoy themselves. (Especially since we did not have a wedding planner). Whether he knew it or not he helped to coordinate the day and allowed my husband and I to enjoy our day without worrying about the timeline and if things were going to happen when they should.

His music list is extensive and he quickly found some of the more obscure songs we requested. He played a great mix of music that everyone, of all ages, enjoyed. Thank you Jake for making our day so incredible!

Jake Ritchie did a wonderful job with the music for our wedding. We couldn't be more pleased with everything! From the planning to the execution Jake was always responsive and helpful! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to everyone!

Usually I don't give straight fives, but Jake was absolutely wonderful! We had a variety of music tastes from our guests ranging from 40s music to top 40 to hispanic. He was outstanding in mixing the music and kept everyone dancing including our 90 year old grandmother. Our guests are still talking about the reception and how great the DJ was. I would recommend him to everyone in a heart beat!

DJ Jake Richie truely set the vibe for my wedding! Creating the atmosphere you like stupid wedding is a key part of having the wedding of your dreams and he did that perfectly! I wanted an up beat reception with everyone up dancing and he made it happen. I have had so many guests comment on how great the music was and how fun it was because of it. Jake Richie also makes sure the event flows nicely and keeps on track which I found very helpful because in the moment your sense of time is way off. From the initial meeting I knew we were making the perfect choice by choosing him to DJ. He has everything so organized and easy to understand which put me at ease when choosing things like first dance songs etc. I really think your entertainment makes the party and DJ Jake Richie is worth every penny!

Jake is a necessity to any wedding. He was a true professional. My wife and I were actually considering NOT getting a DJ until we were told they were vital. Jake was so professional that he has a packet worksheet you feel out and he designs your schedule to with in a couple minutes of each event. From the ceremony to reception he was great. Not a single dull moment. And for the Guys out there he brings his own Bose sound system... I couldn't believe how great those things sounded. I have recommended him to friends getting married and would suggest him to people having other events!

Jake Ritchie was wonderful to work with, flexible, responsive and just a really nice guy all around. He had great suggestions and played all of the music we asked for. Even for a small wedding - the dance floor was never empty! Everyone loved the music and told us that he was one of the best DJ's they have experienced. He also went above and beyond as far as responsiveness and offered to help us with a back up officiant when we hadn't heard from ours! Jake definitely made our wedding memorable and fun!

This guy is the real deal. From start to finish Jake was with us planning and coordinating our big day. The party moved along flawlessly from the ceremony to dinner to dancing; everything flowed seamlessly. The dance floor was packed from start to finish with people not wanting to leave. We couldn't be happier :)

Jake was the most amazing DJ! From the very start to our wedding day we were nothing but impressed with him. At our first meeting you could tell he was organized and professional. We met with him twice before the wedding and each time we were very excited about the wedding. He had all of the details in order and helped us figure some additional things out. The day of the wedding was great!! He did our ceremony and cocktail hour in addition to the reception. The music selection for all 3 was perfect!! I don't think the dance floor was empty ever!! I would highly recomend Jake for great wedding DJ Expeience!! He really helped make our wedding amazing!!

We found Jake through friends who got married a couple months before we did, and we are so happy we did. We are a laid back couple and even though we had an idea of how we wanted things to go, Jake's guidance and suggestions really helped things go smoothly on our big day. Jake had great quality equipment and he played through our ceremony and the cocktail hour, which were outside, and everyone could hear perfectly. We then moved inside for the reception where Jake led us through the whole night. This was especially important because we didn't have a formal wedding planner but Jake was so on-time for all of the events, dinner, first dances, cake cutting, that no one needed to remind him of what to do and when. Thanks for such a wonderful night of fun dancing and smooth transitions! Even our photographer commented that you were the best DJ he had seen!

Jake was a fantastic DJ. He was super professional and easy to work with. He understood right away that my husband and I were not going for a traditional type of wedding reception. He actually knew all the music that we love and had lots of songs to choose from (which is unusual for wedding DJs, since we love trance/house/techno, and that is not your typical wedding music). He was very patient with me when I was super late in getting him the Portuguese music that we wanted incorporated into the wedding. He incorporated it so well, and everyone had such a blast. He was dressed very well, and matched our wedding colors :) He led the evening very well, that I was actually relaxed and enjoyed myself (very unusual for me since I am type-A and totally a control freak). Overall he was fantastic and so easy to work! Would recommend his services to anyone!

Jake did a wonderful job at my wedding and reception. The biographies were such a hit that even the caterers were laughing! Very professional and personable DJ. I would highly recommend Jake to everyone for any occasion.

Absolutely wonderful! We would recommend him to any of our friends who are getting married. The music was great and it kept the party atmosphere going! Thanks again :)

Jake did an absolutely amazing job as our wedding DJ. We found Jake through his great reviews online, and once we had our initial meeting, we knew that he would live up to our high expectations. He is extremely professional, knows weddings VERY well, and even provides many planning worksheets and tools that help you create your reception timeline, playlists, etc. His services are very reasonably priced (especially for his quality of skill), and he is willing to be at the event as long as you need him, which was great for us! During the planning process, he was great with communication, and would reply to emails very quickly. At our final meeting, he also made many suggestions for extra fun activities to use at the reception (which all went over really well!) He definitely knows what works at weddings, and knows exactly how to please a crowd. At the wedding, he frequently checked in with us to make sure everything was going to our liking, and he was not just the DJ, but the MC for the entire night. He kept the night going smoothly, and played some great music that kept the dance floor packed the entire night. All of our friends and family were raving about how much fun they had all night.

I would HIGHLY recommend Jake to anyone who wants a GREAT wedding experience, and especially anyone who wants a fun, high-energy atmosphere at their wedding. (AND, an essentially stress-free day for you!) Thank you Jake for an amazing reception!!!

Jake Ritchie was one of the biggest reasons are wedding ran smoothly. We basically depended on Jake to run our reception. My wife and I had a basic idea of what we wanted to happen during our reception and Jake took our idea and made it happen. He suggested changes to our plan to help our reception run more smoothly. All the suggestions he made was from his past experiences and were really helpful. He also had this workbook full of ideas and songs for us. Jake was always open to bounce ideas off him of what would work and what wouldn't. He was really helpful during the planning process.

Another great thing about Jake was that he went out of his way for us. During the reception my wife and I wanted to have a projector and show a video to our guests. Jake went and got a projection screen for us and worked with us to make sure that the projector and computer connections worked properly.

Jake was more than just a DJ, he was the Master of Ceremonies for us. He worked out the timeline for us and and kept us on schedule. He lined people up and got us in place when and where we needed to be there. When surprises popped up he adjusted events and the schedule.

To sum it all up, Jake has lots of experience and it showed during our wedding. He basically ran our reception and made it really great. Starting from the planning of the reception up to the execution of the plan, he was excellent. I would definitely recommend Jake for DJing your wedding.

Jake was a wonderful person to work with and he definitely ensured that all our guests had a great time and that the day of events ran smoothly. All our guests gushed at how great the day was and how seamless it was. Jake was great from the get-go and the level of professionalism exceeded our expectations. The value of his services cannot be beat! We highly recommend Jake for any future weddings!

Finding the 'perfect' DJ was very important to me and my fiance because we both love music and because the DJ can really influence the vibe of a wedding and ultimately the overall feel & experience you and your guests get. The "Perfect" DJ for us meant finding someone that had received fantastic reviews in the past, was professional (not cheesy), was organized, would keep the wedding on track without too much interruption and the dance floor packed with our favorite music pumpin'.
When we met with Jake we got the sense that he was extremely professional and took DJ'ing very seriously. He had lists of music suggestions and photos of his equipment. We felt comfortable that we would be in good hands with Jake so we booked him.
A few days prior to the wedding we met with Jake and went over the wedding time line (which he gave us guidance on) and talked about the music we wanted to hear (we had two pages!).
On our wedding day he showed up hours early in order to set up. We had a live guitarist for part of our ceremony, and Jake was able to provide him with a mic and hook up. Our cocktail hour was quite a distance from the reception area; Jake had plenty of equipment for both venues. Jake was on time announcing everything, worked with us when our timeline got a little bit off, and he was always prepared for what we needed and happy to help with anything. Most importantly he played the music we loved and wanted to hear! He kept the dance floor packed playing songs we requested mixed with his suggestions. We might have been a sweaty bride & groom that night, but we had a blast dancing our wedding night and so did our guests! We didnt' want the night to end! We would definitely recommend Jake to anyone needing a DJ - you're in great hands with him. Thanks again Jake!

Jake was so nice during our meetings prior to the wedding day and very receptive to our desired atmosphere. On the wedding day, he helped keep everything running smoothly and solved problems before they came to us. He got many of our guests dancing, several of which we didn't think would get up to dance.

Jake was awesome! He was completely professional and responsive to all our needs. Jake handed all the logistics for both the wedding and reception, and we were grateful for all his help. Definitely recommend Jake to anyone in need of an AWESOME DJ!

Our wedding was one for the books! We were supposed to have an outside ceremony, but due to the rain, we had to make last minute adjustments. Jake was very flexible in being able to rearrange his entire set-up without any problems or any pressure on the bridal party. From our first meeting to the last song, the quality of his equipment and professionalism exceeded far beyond our expectations. We did not want another "generic" reception and he brought a new vibe, which was just what we were looking for. Jake kept the party alive with his eclectic mix, and the dance floor was never empty! He was on point all night and put us at ease even before the wedding with his organization and genuine care to ensure our wedding would be just how we wanted it. He was very attentive and through to all of our needs. Jake worked wonderfully with all of our different vendors, and even went above and beyond to take on duties that easily could have fallen on a wedding coordinator. We highly recommend Jake Ritchie!

Jake was awesome! The ambiance at our wedding this past May was fantastic. He was professional, prompt, played a great mix of music, and was really on point. He was on time, engaged, and really knows his craft. When the floor was thinning out, he changed the pace to get it moving again. It was easy and fun to work with him and he even knew other vendors, such as our lighting team, to incorprate the lights to our music. I would recommend him to anyone, and definitely use him again!

Jake was personable, and tallented. He offered to meet with us several times to help plan and discuss the specifics of the event and music. During the event, he balanced some competing needs for the party, conducted the music for the wedding ceremony flawlessly, and provided for a memorable reception. Everyone had a great time, and the bride and groom had a wonderful event that will provide fond memories for years to come.

We loved how Jake of Dream Day DJs was able to understand who my fiance (now husband) and I were as a couple. We had a number of must play songs, which Jake sent us via email to ensure they were the correct ones; this we were happily surprised. We explained our very eclectic tastes in music which I think threw his for a loop. Jake said he could "sense" from the wedding attendees what music would work best. This strategy worked perfectly!!!! We also gave Jake a CD of Jewish/klezmer music to play and he was more than happy to do so.

We are so happy we went with Dream Day DJs.

Jake was amazing! From our first meeting he impressed me with his organized booklet showing me everything he'd need for the night and had pictures of his sleek speakers - I never even saw them at the wedding. He was very responsive and was willing to accomodate our askes, condensing first dance songs and finding specific songs we wanted played if they weren't in his catalogue. He kept the night on schedule, was professional, and kept the dance floor packed-knowing exactly what kinds of music to play throughout the night. If you're looking for a DJ that is the full package and keeps the bride worry free then Jake is your man!! Thanks again Jake!!

DJ Jake was phenomenal! He kept the entire wedding running smoothly. His preparation for the event was impressive. Instead of just introducing the wedding party by name, he gave funny introductions for each person. Our wedding guests are still talking about how much fun it was to hear the different stories about our bridesmaids and groomsmen. He makes everything very easy for the bride and groom. Best of all, his music selection is impeccable. He had the dancefloor going from 5pm to midnight! My calves were still sore 3 days after the wedding from all the dancing I did! DJ Jake is awesome!

Jake did a great job with our wedding. Not only did he do a good job as the MC and DJ, but he was also very organized, and managed the timeline very well. He kept everything on track and moving on queue, which was really great since we didn't have a wedding coordinator to do that for us. He was also very helpful in the planning process, and gave us several checklists to work through that made everything super easy. Good guy, consumate professional, talented DJ. I would use him again!

Jake did an amazing job as the DJ for our reception! Everything went smoothly from start to finish. People I've never seen dance before in my life were out there on the dance floor having a great time!

Jake ROCKS!! From the first meeting to all the little emails sent the week before the wedding- he was fantastic. We had Jake do our ceremony as well as the reception and I could not be happier with the way the whole wedding turned out. Before the wedding, he had us fill out forms with all the little details (totally put me at ease- I like organization) and when he met with us he was able to tell us what order all the events would flow best, etc. He rolled with our decision to move our ceremony from outside to inside to back outside at a different location and it was flawless. Our reception music flowed so nicely. We had comments from guests about not even feeling like there was a DJ there- it was just a good party once the dancing started. He even reminded guests about taking the favors and signing our guest book. He was AWESOME!

DJ Jake Ritchie was so great to work with. He was very professional and listened to everything that we wanted for our reception. He was able to provide guidance and insight, as well as options for us when we weren't sure what to do. He played all the songs we wanted played, kept up with the timeline of events, and just made things very smooth for us. We didn't have to worry about anything! We highly recommend DJ Jake Ritchie!

Jake was awesome to work with. He always got back to us right away whenever we had any questions. The last week or two before the wedding I kept coming up with more questions or changing last minute things and Jake was always really easy-going and made me feel at ease. He was really helpful the day of the wedding and did an amazing job throught the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. A lot of my guests commented on how they loved the music he was playing and how friendly he is. It was also great to have one flat rate with no surprise fees anywhere for any of his services. Highly recommend!

Jake was amazing!

Jake is a fabulous DJ! Throughout the whole planning process he answered our questions and guided us through the planning of our wedding day! He acted as our wedding planner and DJ. He was very accountable and offered great advice. We could not have asked for better music selections on the that day either. Every music selection had a smooth transition to the next and all of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the event. Jake played a huge part in this! We would highly recommend Jake for any special event! Jake thanks for making our wedding reception so memorable!

Jake is an awesome DJ. He really put a lot of work into our wedding, much more than I had expected or anticipated a DJ ever would. He took the time to meet with us twice before the wedding to go over the timeline and the song selections. Through previous experiences, he was able to offer suggestions that would make the day run a bit more smoothly. He was willing to edit some of our song selections down, and cut out specific pieces that we wanted for specific events. We had a live musician for only part of our ceremony, and Jake was able to coordinate with the musician, and our venue coordinator which sections of the ceremony he would be providing for us, and everything went together seamlessly. He was also able to provide a hook-up for another friend who was to play guitar and sing for one of the special dances. Jake was on time announcing everything, working with us when our timeline got a little bit off, and he was always prepared for what we needed. He played the types of music we had requested, and kept the dance floor going all night. I was extremely pleased with all of his services, and would definitely recommend him to anyone needing a DJ.

Jake met with us twice to go over our music and timeline and was able to get some Italian songs that our family requested. We did a surprise dance for our intro and using the songs we gave him, mixed it together perfectly. He was very professional and we have no reservations recommending him.

Jake Ritchie served as the DJ for my daughter's wedding this past Saturday. His services exceed our expectations in every way. From our very first meeting he was prompt, professional, and courteous. He explained his contract from the very start and there were no hidden costs and he never waivered from his contract agreements. As the wedding approached and e-mails became more frequent between us he responded immediately and thoroughly. He explained that he had never missed a wedding, but that he had back-ups just in case of an emergency. About 2 weeks before the wedding he sat down with us and went over every little detail. We made a lot of requests about things we wanted to include, and he was flexible in everyway. We requested the use of some of his equipment to allow my son to to dedicate a song he was perfoming for his sister. He allowed the use of his amp and helped my son set up the equipment and do a sound check. He was there well in advance of the wedding and was set up and ready go. He worked with the event manager with every detail to insure a smoothe flowing reception. In short, it was a perfect evening. Many of our guest commented that he "MADE THE NIGHT". I would recommend Jake in a heartbeat to every bride out there! Thank you Jake for making Daryl's night so special!

Jake was absolutely amazing. We chose Jake as the DJ for our wedding because of his professionalism, demeanor, and flexibility. We interviewed LOTS of DJ's in the northern Virginia area for our wedding and none were as well organized and supportive. He was such an important part of our wedding it really wouldn't have been the same without him. We immediately felt comfortable with him and knew that he would deliver not only what we asked, but more than we expected, and he definitely did. He not only kept people dancing until the very last second of the reception, but he made sure we were where we needed to be when we needed to be there. As the bride and groom it was so hard to remember when we were supposed to do what, but Jake kept us on time and in place. THANK YOU JAKE!!!!

Jake Ritchie is the most AWESOME DJ THAT EVER LIVED!!! I contacted him only about a month before my wedding, and he had no problems getting everything situated. I had a ton of songs I wanted him to play in such a short time, and he managed to fit almost every single one in during our reception! If you're looking for someone professional with a vast knowledge of the "DJ Industry", Jake is the perfect fit! He was one of the many people that made our day extra special, and run so smoothly. Thanks Jake!!!

Jake was the perfect DJ for our wedding!! He played all the perfect songs at all the right moments. He is very professional and talented and played everything I asked him to. He gave me a great packet to fill out which included a list of popular songs to help me choose. I highly recommend Jake for your wedding DJ!

Jake was an amazing dj and master of ceremonies, and he created exactly the kind of ambiance we wanted for our wedding. He was so easy to work with, and helped make our wedding a truly memorable and fun experience!! He was extremely professional, very accommodating of any and all requests, and was always responsive when we had questions. In the months leading up to the wedding, he was beyond helpful and a great resource for establishing our time line and other details. He worked with us to create shortened/edited versions of our mother/son and father/daughter dance. He did all of the music and sound for our ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing, and I got several compliments on the music from wedding guests. His sound system was great, and he had just the right personality to energize the crowd without being overbearing. Even when we fell way behind in our timeline, Jake was able to adjust on the fly to make sure that we hit all of the high points. Jake was top notch, and his passion for this work is clear in everything he does. One of our friends/guests is a wedding photographer who attends dozens of weddings a year, and he said it best when he said, "Jake is the best dj I've seen." Thanks, Jake!!

Jake Ritchie of Dream Day DJs is amazing! You don't need to keep researching for DJs, you found him here. We knew we wanted a great DJ for our reception and let's face it - a DJ can make or break the party. Jake made ours!

I was impressed that we didn't get "nickel and dimed" for Jake also providing ceremony music (in the same venue but on a different floor and room) and for extending the time by an hour (a week before the wedding). He is also very responsive to questions or concerns; that is important to me.

Jake played great music from different genres and was good at reading the crowd. He announced our introductions perfectly and did a good job making sure people knew where to sign our guest frame and how to do it (he researched it himself so he knew what to tell the guests). The ceremony music was perfect and he helped us to know the right time to walk in. Jake also helped me to choose a good recessional song because I didn't want anything traditional.

Aside from the fact that I've already mentioned Jake is a great DJ, there are a couple of other things that stood out for me:
- He reworked the ceremony song and our first dance songs so that they weren't too long. It was done so perfectly, you couldn't even tell they were shortened.
- The father/daughter dance song I found wasn't something Jake already had in his huge song file and it wasn't on iTunes to download, only on the music's website. He didn't mind buying it and said that it was important for me to have that song, that meant a lot to me.

It's stressful to look for a good, trustworthy DJ and the search can take days. It doesn't have to be that difficult - use Dream Day DJs! Your wedding is something that your guests will be talking about so give them something good to talk about ... Jake Ritchie!

Married on May 1, 2010

We had Jake Ritchie from Dream Day DJ's for our wedding. We were so happy with everything Jake provided. He was very professional from start to finish. We were married outside and he provided our pastor, reader and vocalist with excellent sound so our guests would be able to hear everything. Our ceremony was perfect. Jake helped coordinate our timeline for our wedding. Everything was perfect, the music, the sound, and the lighting. I am not as technical on the equiptment as my fiance. However, he was very impressed. I thought Jake had a nice voice when he spoke, and was dressed in a dark suit and looked very good at our wedding. I highly recommend him! He was a excellent find. He was terrific!

Lisa Madigan April 25, 2010 wedding/Bluemont Virginia

Jake was a true professional from beginning to the end. He was very knowledgeable and offered many suggestions. We knew we were going to be in good hands after our initial meeting and he came through on our wedding day. All of our guests have raved about his selection in music and his professionalism throughout the entire evening. Would highly recommend to all future brides/grooms.

Jake was fantastic! Starting with initial contact all through our wedding, we were nothing but impressed. He was quick in communications and answered any questions we had along the way. On the wedding day, he did a great job at setting the mood and keeping people on the dance floor. Everyone loved the music! His playlist was awesome and paced perfectly throughout our reception. He was also very receptive to any on-the-spot requests. We'd highly recommend Jake to anyone seeking a DJ!

Jake was FAB-U-LOUS! He did his best to play everything we wanted plus the crowd's requests. He came highly recommended from the reception site. And they we so right. I had so many compliments on the entire wedding but the one that stuck in everyones mind was our introductions. They are called a bio-intro. He introduces the bridal party one by one (in tune to the music) and gives a short bio of them and then they strut their stuff. If you want to have a blast at Your reception than Jake is your man.

Jake is the man!! A good DJ can be the difference between a memorable wedding and a forgettable wedding. Friends and family still comment to us how our wedding was the best they had been to in recent memory. This is due in no small part to Jake Ritchie.

Jake worked with us in the beginning to plan how the reception was to proceed, what songs we wanted played, and what we did not want played. Jake has a very thorough form which he walked through with us in our first consultation. It takes into consideration every possible detail of the reception. Jake even considers how to handle awkward family situations to ensure that nobody feels uncomfortable or is offended. He thinks about things that I would have never thought to consider, but that made a significant difference.

We were able to give Jake a few songs that we wanted played, as well as a general description of the type of music we wanted played and he leverages his vast library of music and his experience to keep the party moving. Jake reads the crowd to see if they need something a bit up tempo or if they are getting to tired of dancing.

Jake brings great sounding and sleek low profile equipment that will definitely get people moving, but your wedding decorations will not be dominated by ugly massive blocks of speakers and amps.

Jake is even part of a network of DJs, so that if something (god forbid) happens to Jake on the day of your event, you will still have a professional DJ at your event. If you are concerned with contingency planning like I am, this will provide you great peace of mind.

Jake is a true professional. After a wedding, you start to think about all the little things that you could do differently. One thing I would not have changed was my choice of Jake Ritchie as my DJ. I don't plan on getting married again, but if I ever need the services of a DJ, I know where I am going, and I HIGHLY recommend his service. It was worth every dime.

Thanks again Jake!!

Jake was a complete professional from start to finish. He even worked with our tight budget and gave us an excellent deal! He was very responsive via e-mail and even worked to customize my walk song. He met us at our venue a week prior to go over all the details with us, including when to begin the walk song so it would start when the horse and carriage began. He even brought his own lights and used them during the reception to create more of a party atmosphere! He was amazing and we couldn't have asked for anything more!

We are speechless. Jake was probably the only DJ working a wedding December 19, 2009 during the biggest snowstorm since 1932. Jake even planned ahead and made reservations at a nearby hotel the night before to make sure he would be there for us. Jake listened to what we wanted and played the music that we had chosen. It was a wonderful mix and Jake was amazing with all of the introductions and announcements, a true professional. Under the adverse conditions of December 19th - 20" of snow - Jake went above and beyond to fulfill his commitment. You can rest assured that no matter what the circumstances - Jake Ritchie will deliver. We feel blessed to have made the right choice. As the saying goes "when the going gets tough, the tough get going". Jake, we cannot thank you enough for being there for us.

From start to finish, Jake was as professional as they get, returned every call, and email.The music was awesome, played everyones requests and had the whole place dancing, everyone had a blast.
He was extremely organized, suggested different things (that worked!!) and overall we couldnt be happier with him.

I will recommend him to anyone and everyone! Great job, fabulous music. He was really able to keep the reception moving and at the energy level we wanted. A+

Dream Day DJ's was the best thing at my wedding... Everyone had such a good time. Everyone was up dancing and having a blast. Jake has the best personality, and through out my planning stages he was always there with helpful idea's. I never had to worry for a second if things were going to be handled I knew he would take care of everything.. Thank you Jake..

Jake was so great!!! Of all our vendors, he got the most compliments from our guests. Our dancefloor was always packed and to be honest, as the bride I got a little in trouble with the families because I spent the whole night dancing instead of visiting with our guests. Every time I thought about leaving the dancefloor, he would play another great song! He is very organized and responsive and helped us pick out all the songs we needed for the first dances, cake cutting, etc. I highly recommend using him for your event. You can't go wrong!

Jake did a great job for our wedding reception. He kept the crowd dancing, playing all our genres & song requests. Jake was very responsive, organized and professional - he advised us on the introduction, first dance and last dance songs; coordinated with all the wedding vendors to make sure everything went off without a hitch; & even got me a drink when the waiters were too busy! Jake delivered a perfect performance and I would highly recommend him for your event.

Jake did a fabulous job as the deejay at our wedding. He worked the ceremony and the reception. He had a separate system for the ceremony and also provided a wireless microphone and a separate mic for our reader. His timing is excellent and he is very flexible and professional. He was great at moving the night along and making sure we were happy with how the night was going. We had some obscure music selections, and Jake either found them or we sent files for him to download and use. He worked within our budget as well. We'd highly recommend him!

Jake was absolutely fantastic! Once the music started, the dance floor was full for the rest of the night! He knew exactly what to play to keep everyone dancing, from my youngest cousins to my grandmother and everyone in between. Jake is very organized and a great help in picking the special songs. He even helped coordinate our exit strategy from the reception at the last minute. Jake was awesome. I would recommend him to anyone!

We hired Jake as the DJ for our August wedding & he was fabulous. First of all, he was totally easy to work with - we met with him twice before the wedding and both times he was organized & very responsive to all our ideas. He gives all his clients a packet of information that was super helpful. Every time I emailed or called him with a question, I heard back within a few hours. The music was really important to us - we wanted our reception to essentially be a big dance party and Jake did a great job using his expertise to make that happen. Also, Jake was low-key and unobtrusive during the reception itself. Finally, Jake's fees are very reasonable - he provides a great service for the price! I highly recommend him and would definitely use him again for another event.

I HIGHLY recommend Jake as a wedding DJ. He played nothing but great music, and he had my dance floor packed the entire night! In the weeks and months leading up to the wedding, my fiance and I were both very impressed with his helpfulness and professionalism. At our first meeting he was clearly very organized and not only gave us lots of information about the services that he provides, but he also gave us a lot of helpful organizational and musical tips and suggestions. Jake even visited our wedding venue by himself to tour the facility and test out a set-up that we had discussed over the phone. He clearly spent many hours working on the music for our wedding. And his prices were very reasonable, as well! I was very impressed with everything he did - Dream Day DJs is clearly the best of the best!

Jake was AWESOME! He was recommended to us by another bride. After our first meeting Derrick and I were impressed and booked Jake right away. We couldn't have been happier with his service. He listened to what we had to say and was willing to have fun with us as we planned for the big day. Our guests never left the dance floor and we had so many compliments about the Music! Thanks Jake!

Jake was simply amazing... we couldn't have asked for a better DJ! He played exactly the type of music we wanted, and was a great emcee for the event without being overly intrusive. He worked the room well, handled the scheduling changes easily, and simply did a marvelous job. Our dance floor was packed the entire night, which is the best thing we could ask for! Thanks for everything Jake!

We were extremely satisfied with Dream Day DJs. We couldn’t have been happier with the services or setup, and the party Saturday night was just as I had envisioned it: elegant, sophisticated, and exceptionally fun. The setup was very sleek and unassuming, which was a relief because my main concern about hiring a DJ was having huge speakers, a tacky banner, and flashing lights in the reception room.

We were absolutely thrilled with everything, and all of our guests had a wonderful time thanks to Jake's hard work and superb performance. Most people stayed until the very end, and many of them have remarked that they’re never had a better time at a reception.

We would highly recommend Dream Day DJs to anyone in need of wedding or other event entertainment!

We really liked Jake from the moment that we met him. We had been interviewing lots of different vendors for lots of different services. We are very laid back and easy going and wanted someone who understanded that we wanted to leaved it all up to him. He had a laid back personality, but was very professional when he needed to be. He handled the music during our ceremony, cocktail hour AND reception. We could NOT have picked a better DJ! We had so many compliments! Amongst a few, we had people that got his card to use him at their event(s) and I had a few different people tell me that they had never danced so much at any wedding before. We would HIGHly recommend Jake Ritchie for any and all events! He was a pleasure to work with and very easy to get along with. He provided us with informative papers and ones to fill out, as well, so that he could get a feel for how you wanted your evening to go. EXCEPTIONAL!!!

Jake was absolutely amazing! Highly, highly recommended. We first met Jake at Panera and he was very knowledgable on music and sound quality. He really took the time to talk with us and find out what our needs were. He sold himself well and was not pushy. Both my fiance and I booked him the next day. The best part of our wedding was our first dance. We sent Jake a list of popular songs that we wanted mixed as a suprise halfway through our slow dance (kinda like a "rock the reception" type dance). Jake was quick to respond and offer advice on making the mix. We had our full first dance via mp3 at least 6 months prior to the wedding so we could practice our steps. On the wedding day, Jake arrived early to set up and kept us informed every step of the way. The music mixes were perfect and he kept people on the dance floor all night long and even took requests from guests. If you need a DJ for your wedding, he is definitely the top pick. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Thanks Jake for making our day so special:)

Jake was a pleasure to work with. Everyone raved about our music and how our DJ did such a great job of getting people on the dance floor. The dance floor was packed until the end. We will recommend Dream Day DJs to everyone we know! Thank you Jake for everything!

Dream Day DJs (Jake Ritchie) did an outstanding job. The wedding ceremony was outdoors with the reception inside. The quality of sound was excellent for both. Everything was performed exactly as planned and at the appropriate time. We was a perfect host for the reception activities and the guests enjoyed his selection of music.
Having checked the price of several vendors before making a selection, we are confident in saying that Dream Day DJs are reasonably priced with excellent service. We highly recommend Jake.

We hired Jake after using WeddingWire to identify and interview several other DJs. We selected him because of our confidence in his ability to accommodate a crowd with a myriad of races, ethnicities, ages, and musical preferences. Jake worked closely with us and our planner to prepare for our event. He was extremely patient and provided plenty of guidance without being overbearing. He incorporated many of our personal selections and mixed in other, crowd-pleasing songs. He also ended up being a great value since he brought along some additional lighting for our dark venue at no additional cost to us. Jake did an excellent job of keeping the crowd dancing until the very end of the evening. To this day, people are telling us that ours was the most fun they have ever had at a wedding reception. Jake deserved the credit for that!

I knew from the beginning after reading everyone elses reviews that I would love Dream Day DJ's. Jake took the time to meet us before we signed the contract and also a few weeks before the wedding. I don't think too many Dj's offer the same level of service. We could not have booked a better DJ. Thank you Jake!

Mr. Richie was the most professional and well versed DJ out of the many I personally interviewed. After a long day of interviewing it was nice to see someone nicely groomed and well prepared. My only request was he "run the show" and that he did. There were no worries as things moved right along and my guests stayed well entertained. My wife and I are not loud boisterous people and he responded just the same. Jake, in my opinion, has the God-given gift of reading people behind the wheels of steel. A+ Mr. Richie for a job well done!

Jake was an excellent DJ! We met with him several months prior to the wedding and then sent the final information in just weeks before the wedding. Throughout that time I had many questions and he was very fast in responding through email. He was well organized and prompt the day of the wedding. Jake was sure to know all exact names and had everything on a schedule. All went well and he kept people out on the dance floor all night long. All different kinds of music was represented to keep all different ages going throughout the night! I would highly recommend Jake to any bride and groom! He was a blast...Thanks so much Jake for all of your hard work!

Jake was a great DJ. He did everything very prefessionally. If a song was requested that he did not have you made every effort to get it. It was perfect. Everyone enjoyed the selection of dinner music and picking out the songs was a breeze with his sheet that was provided. He deserves very high recommendations.

I could not recommend Dream Day DJs more highly. Jake was extremely professional and knowledgeable. His equipment is up to date and not large and bulky.

What can one say about the services Jake performed other than excellent. He is very professional and absolutely a pleasure to work with. On top of that he is affordable for the average person that actually has a wedding budget yet there is no compromise it's the whole package. The music was great, the sound was kept to a very nice quiet acceptable level during the cocktail and dinner hours. Then when the party got under way it was nice and lively without making your eardrums bleed like at a lot of parties/receptions I have attended. He even customized a song for us. Not to mention he has an excellent guarantee and that alone makes him the right DJ for the job.

I cannot say enough about Jake. He was so organized, so professional, and on top of everything. He gave great suggestions, his prices were amazing, he did everything that I asked of him, even changing a song super last minute. Any bride would be lucky to have Jake as their DJ. He makes the party so fun and was a joy to work with! Thanks so much Jake!

Jake Ritchie was amazing!! He ended up working for 7 hours because no one would leave. You know you have a good DJ when over half the guests come up to you and comment on how much they liked him and how great the music was. Also, as with any large event there will be snafu's and our wedding was no exception. No matter what the change or glitch Jake was right there with a smile and a "don't worry about it, I'll figure it out" and he did. Without even a hesitation and totally transparent to the guests. He was wonderful to work with, I will recommend him to anyone I know of looking for a DJ. Jake was extremely professional, very friendly, and did anything I asked, with a smile. Most important his ability to work with us and our musical needs was an absolute pleasure. Nothing was too hard and everything turned out perfect. I can not stress enough, if you are looking for the best most accommodating DJ in the world, hire Jake Ritchie

Fantastic!!! Very professional and flexible. The moment we left our first meeting with Jake, we knew wanted to book him for the event. He knows his stuff. He can either plan the music and timeline of your ceremony and reception from front to back or work with you to fine tune what you already have planned. We were very pleased.

DJ Jake Ritchie did an amazing job at our wedding - we could not have asked for a better DJ. One of the most important things that we wanted at our wedding was to have a great DJ who would keep our friends and family dancing all night long. We don't exaggerate when we say that our guests rarely left the dance floor, and much of the credit goes to Jake who had a great feel for the crowd and played the right song at the right time. While we had a few songs that we wanted Jake to play as the night went on, he worked each song into the night seemlessly.

What's more, we can't speak enough about his professionalism. He was full of ideas and did his best to help us plan our reception. At one point, when someone spilled a drink on the dance floor, he instantly alerted the appropriate reception staff and the mess was cleaned up in now time.

Jake did a fantastic job, and we cannot recommend him highly enough.

Jake did a great job at my wedding. We were really, really happy with how everything turned out. It was great how he stepped in when the mariachis didn't show - no one noticed at all that something was not as it should have been. The amount of preparation that he puts into his events is really impressive and really helped to put us at ease that everything would flow nicely and be under control - and nothing beats a bride who is not stressed out. Everyone enjoyed themselves and he was such a big part of making it all happen!

My wedding was May 6th 2006 and Jake was a life saver. We were running extremly late due to pictures on the mall and when we arrived Jake had already started his magic. Not only did he DJ the reception,he was our host and did the meet and greet for our guest. All this was on a whim and not planned. We had a variety of people in our crowd and Jake was able to please all tastes when it came to the music. He also was the MC for intro's of the wedding party and everyone in the party. His wife was also on hand to help out the bridesmaids etc. We had a bag piper and Irish dancers that he also introduced. All in all I would highly recommend Jake for any friends wedding and I have had others use him that were at my wedding. 5 stars for everything provided by dream day DJ's.

Jake is an exceptionally professional and talented DJ. During our first meeting with Jake, we knew that he would be the perfect DJ for our wedding reception. He went over details that we had not even thought about. He worked extremely well with the venue’s wedding coordinator to keep things moving and on schedule. Jake’s organizational skills were amazing! We highly recommend Jake for a wedding reception or any event where you want a professional, organized, #1 DJ for your guests! He is truly one of a kind and we are delighted that he made our wedding day even more special!

Jake Ritchie is a true professional and did a sensational job at our wedding. I highly recommend to anyone looking for DJ services.

Jake is one of the best DJ's ever. He is very prompt on getting in touch with you, He has great ideas to boost up your wedding reception. All of my guests told me that he was the best. Anyone looking for a Dj I would strongly recomend Jake. Weddings are already special days but he does all that he can to make your day even more special. I know when I need a Dj again for anything he will be the one to contact. Its hard to put it all into words, He is just that good at what he does.

Jake was great. He even worked hard on a transition song for the father daughter dance.

What an amazing time we had. From the minute we sat down with Jake we were comfortable. My wife and I are very particular people and had many questions in the beginning, but Jake had all the answers there for us. The decision was made right after that meeting. Our reception location is not a popular spot for weddings, it’s more known for dinner. Jake had been there before and remembered something where the restaurant had dropped the ball, he then called ahead to give us a heads up. It would not have been a problem but his attention and care confirmed that we had made the right choice. Jake did an amazing job keeping people on the dance floor. He took into consideration things going on within the room and was flexible with his and our schedule to accommodate little and last minute hiccups and restaurant delays. The night of the wedding was wonderful. The dance floor was busy all night with even both grandmothers dancing on the floor. We had rented a shuttle bus for our guest to get to and from the hotel and had two shuttle runs; the first at 9:00 pm and the last at 11:00 pm. The first shuttle never happened. No one wanted to leave. Jake was sensitive, and worked well with our mixed culture reception and played the right mix of all the music to keep everyone happy. Dream Day DJs was one of the smoothest parts of our wedding. Do yourself a favor and go with them!

Jake was the perfect DJ for our event! We heard every song we asked for and the dance floor was packed for more than 3 solid hours. I had more fun than I could ever imagine. He is so prepared and even had to deal with a last minute change at the reception site where he did not get in until an hour after he was supposed to. I would recommend him to my closest friends and family. I wouldn't have changed a thing.

My husband and I were extremely pleased with the quality of service that Jake privided for our reception. He was very willing to meet any of the requests (as "unique" as we requested) that my husband and I wished for. He returned calls promptly and was very professional and extremely friendly. I would highly recommend Jake to anybody looking for DJ services!

Over and above our expectations!

Paul & Jessica

Jake from Dream Day DJ's did an amazing job at our wedding. Jake DJ'd for both the ceremony and the reception and all of it was perfect. Not only did he help us through the planning process, but he even personally re-cut our grand entrance and first dance songs so they would be perfect for the occasion. I was also surprised to find out from the location owners that Jake and Gina had even stopped by the day before to evaluate the venue. Everything was done with professionalism and exactly the fun atmosphere we were shooting for. Our guests can't stop talking about what a great time they had!

We also hired Gina for day-of-coordination, and I honestly don't know what we would have done without her. Together with Jake they kept everything moving smoothly and discreetly let us know everything that was coming up next. She cued us for the ceremony, showed us how to stand for wedding cake pictures, and a million other things that you don't realize you don't know how to do until you have to do them. Gina was also very concerned about our well-being and made sure we were comfortable all night, even bringing us drinks and tracking us down if we wandered off. Her help was invaluable.

I would recommend both Jake and Gina to anyone looking to have a fun and stress-less wedding night. Thank you very much, guys!

If the occasion should ever arise that I need a DJ again, I will be sure to contact Dream Day DJ’s featuring Jake Ritchie. Planning a wedding can be very overwhelming and finding a DJ is one of the many factors that can add to the stress. Thankfully we found Jake. His attention to detail is amazing. I didn’t realize all of the items that many people take for granted during a wedding and reception. Jake had so many suggestions for ceremony music and for the reception. He listened to our requests and provided us with ideas that would help make the evening flow without pause. In addition to music recommendations, Jake gave us ideas to help keep people on the dance floor. The wedding and reception were a huge success and we owe a great deal of the credit to Jake. I highly recommend Jake for your special event.

Jake was excellent. From the moment that he started playing music, the dance floor was full. He was able to work in the type of music and songs we specifically requested, and had his own mix of music to get people going. Our guests had nothing but compliments for the music and about how much fun they had at the reception. Also, Jake was able to get people dancing without the cheezy songs (e.g., Chicken Dance), and he was very responsive to our specific requests. He is quality and dependable, and he was certainly a part of the wedding planning that we did not have to worry about the instant after signing him.

Thank you so much for being the DJ at our wedding. Everything went perfect with the music. I couldn't have asked for anything more. The variety of music was great. He was very professional and I really liked how he took control of everything. With everything that is on your mind on your wedding day, he took off a lot of the pressure. I would highly recommend him to everyone!!! Thank you so much again Jake.

We found Jake Ritchie to be cooperative, professional, and exceedingly talented. We were immediately impressed by his technical skill and professional demeanor. During the last hectic days leading up to the ceremony, Jake was patient and phenomenally cooperative. Due to a last minute request of the venue owner, Jake was relegated to the back room. He took it all in stride, making the most of the new venue. He went well above what we expected of him. Our guests loved the music, and had a wonderful time. I would recommend Jake to anyone who wants a quality DJ for their wedding reception.

Jake was very accommodating, flexible, and worked very hard to understand exactly what type of wedding atmosphere we were after. He nailed it perfectly, and in addition, did a great job helping out with all the other aspects of the wedding, including directing guests, and unobtrusively helping to keep the flow of events moving and on time.

Jake was the DJ for our wedding in May 2007. In interviewing DJs it was important that the individual be highly professional, experienced, and discreet. As the bride, I needed someone that could be relied on 100% to be timely and deliver w/o worries. The top DJ in DC was twice his rate and had several "extra" charges, which concerned me. We took our chances w/Jake and I went w/my gut intuition that he'd be great. Well, he wasn't just great...he was EXCELLENT! He researched songs (my husband's Australian) that were enthusiastically danced to, he was extremely punctual, returned all of my phone calls quickly, worked seamlessly w/the wedding coordinator and pianist, used a supurb sound system (not the cluncky obnoxious ones from good ol' days). He also worked w/my friend to set up their laptop w/his sound system and he even rented a projector for the day (and didn't charge a dime for his time) to make the experience that much more stress free. He presented the mike when appropriate for the toasts and didn't play "the macarena" or other cheezy or non-danceable requests by some of my guests (as requested by me).
Needless to say, I would highly recommend Jake to anyone. My mother (who does NOT even like DJs) would recommend him and the guests loved him, too.

Jake was extremely professional and provided excellent service. We had a few things go awry and he adjusted well without skipping a beat. He was really instrumental in making things "right" for us and he did it willingly with a smile.
We highly recommend him!

Jake was great! He did the ceremony music, music for the cocktail hour, and the music for the reception. He also acted as Master of Ceremonies. He was very professional and everything went very smooth. Everyone had a good time and danced all night. I highly recommend him. You will have a good time if you choose Jake to be your DJ.

We received many compliments on the music! There was not one moment when we noticed the dance floor empty and the variety of music Jake played was excellent for the mix of guests we had. My husband's sister even mentioned to me that it was the first time she had seen one of her daughters on ANY dance floor!! Every time we see someone that was at our wedding we get compliments on how much fun they had and how much they danced! I had a great time and Jake definitely played all the music we requested. Jake even put together a unique entrance song for us by using our favorite Guns ‘n Roses song “Mr. Brownstone.” I was truly impressed with Jake's work and we definitely got a bargain when we hired him. I've since recommended him to many of my friends & family

We used Jake for our wedding, and he was wonderful! When we called about hiring him, he came to our home and met with us to tell us about his service. He gave us lots of information and ideas for music, which was extremely helpful. On the day of the wedding, he helped our reception go extremely smooth. He kept things moving from the minute it started. I refer Jake to everyone that has asked about a DJ.

Jake did a fantastic job at our wedding and we could not have been happier with his services. He assured us before the wedding that he would MC the reception and announce all of the events as they come up so we wouldn't have to worry about keeping track of the time and when things were happening. And he did exactly that. We had a great time and everything ran very smoothly. He played all the music that we requested, and filled in the rest of the night with really good songs, everyone had a great time out on the dance floor. Based on the list of songs that we told him we liked, he was able to grasp our style and play other songs that we liked. The dancing never died, the floor was filled literally through the last song of the night. He was also very professional in his dress as well his demeanor and style. He knew how to stay low-key but knew how to direct the events and get the crowd out on the dance floor.

Before the actual event, Jake was always responsive by email and phone and was always flexible when we wanted to meet with him to discuss the wedding. He showed up to the wedding on time and got everything set up before guests arrived. Overall, he just did a great job and we would definitely recommend him to future couples who want great service at a very reasonable cost.

Jake was amazing! We had a great time working with him prior to our wedding and during the wedding our guests raved about his music selections! He really made our wedding a great party!

Jake Ritchie was pretty much awesome in every way. Very professional, lots of experience, in tune with current music/culture/etc., great equipment (amazing sound quality!), and perhaps most importantly - a great personality and an amazing MC!

Highly, highly recommend Jake and Dream Day DJs!

Jake was very easy to get in touch with and communicate with. We would e-mail him and he'd immediately respond to us. We met twice with him, the first initial meeting and then about 3 weeks before our wedding. We only interviewed him as a DJ and knew right away he would be great. He was very organized and professional. My husband's family is Polish and he even found some polkas for us! Everyone at our wedding commented how he kept the reception flowing and all the music was great. Our dance floor always had people on it. We'd highly recommend Jake as you DJ!

A Multi-Cultural Wedding
Middle Eastern (Arab)/American Wedding
Bride and Groom Age: 26

We had over 200 people on our invitation list. Presumably, the Arabs only want to dance Arabic and the Americans only wanted to dance to American music. We wanted to make sure each and every single person had a wonderful time…..the children, Adults, Young Adults , and Grandparents. With this dilemma, and the belief that a DJ can truly make or break a wedding, we spent at least 2 months searching for the perfect DJ. From the start, Jake kept things very professional. He wore proper attire, was well organized, had great recommendations to ensure the whole night ran smoothly, and always responded back to our inquiries. We are extremely pleased to have chosen Jake to be our DJ.

The wedding night was phenomenal……I was so happy and surprised to see the whole dance floor packed…literally packed…. throughout the entire night of the reception. Jake transitioned well between Arabic and American music….then he played more of the modern stuff towards the end of the night. I was very hands off, and gave him only the Arabic songs to play and let him feel the crowd. People were dancing and partying all night! Jake kept the crowd going and we went 40 minutes over the time that was allotted to us by the venue! Our guests were so pleased, even my videographer was impressed. By the end of the night Jake was talking to my Videographer and another couple to use for their upcoming weddings……..

My advice to anyone who is considering a DJ is to use Jake and put your mind at ease…….he was certainly worth the money and made our wedding day a very memorable and fun one. Thank you so...

We booked our DJ later than we probably should have and were more last minute on song selections and everything that Jake needed to prepare for our wedding. Even though we caused delays and were cutting it close, you wouldn't have been able to tell at all..our wedding reception was GREAT. Jake was professional, very easy to work with, organized, and thorough. The night flowed SO smoothly, he came to get us at appropriate times like when it was time to do things like cut the cake (to keep the us on schedule) and when someone requested a very obscure song that he wasn't sure if we'd want it played or not. The music selections were fun, everyone was dancing (even people who never dance) and we all had a great time!!

Jake is an extremely talented DJ, a true professional. He never has an empty dance floor, due to his prepartion with the bride and groom, and also his superb ability to read a crowd. Jake is a classy host and fabulous entertainer, creating personalized, unique moments at every event. By far my favorite DJ to work with!

Great, fun DJ with mixing skills to boot! Professional with lots of ideas. An absolute pleasure to work with. If I couldn't be there, Jake is who I would want.

Jake is a DJ and more. Besides having the best equipment, Jake can do beautiful lighting. But equipment means nothing, if one does not have the personality to please the crowd. Jake keeps everything moving along on time too. We are always glad to see his smiling face.

Jake Ritchie of Dream Day DJs is the true professional. I've worked with Jake many times, and he always impresses me with his ability to interact with the guests while providing the music necessary to make sure a good time is had by all. His talents are amazing. If you want people to remember the good time they had at your reception, this is the DJ service to hire.

Jake is a great guy, DJ and entertainer who is deeply committed to taking superlative care of his clients. We have known each other for several years, participating in multiple workshops together and networking as fellow leaders in the American Disc Jockey Association. I know him to be a stand-up guy. He's someone I know I can count on in an industry of people who are only out for themselves. If you are looking for one of the "good guys". Give Jake Ritchie a call. :)

We both love working with Jake Ritchie of Dream Day DJs. He is very energetic and has a special way of getting all the guests involved in the reception. Bride's tell us that he is a great listener and takes the time to understand exactly what they are looking for in music for their ceremony, as well as of course the reception.

We recommend Jake whenever we can and look forward to working with him whenever possible. Joyce even had him as a groomsmen in a wedding she officiated! He did ok, but if I had a choice, I'd hire him as THE DJ!

Jake provides DJ services a cut above the rest. He has very innovative ideas that make your wedding or event very entertaining and interesting. You cannot go wrong with having jake Ritchie provide the DJ services and music at your event.

Jake Ritchie is a professional and an extremely knowledgeable DJ. His mannerisms, professionalism and attention to detail with each Bride and Groom are unmatched. He has state of the art BOSE equipment, is completely up-to-date with music and has an extremely large library of songs. Jake will go the extra mile for his clients to make sure everything goes smoothly for the bride and groom. I highly recommend DJ Jake Ritchie.

I recently worked a wedding at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in D.C. with Jake from Dream Day DJs and was impressed by his thorough yet flexible approach to working with me as a wedding coordinator. Jake was easygoing, incredibly personable and pleasant to work with. We spoke a couple of weeks ahead of the wedding and he was more than happy to take the time to go over all of the details of the wedding with me and make changes to the timeline as needed. At the reception, his Dj style was low-key, classy, and unobtrusive. The bride, groom, and guests enjoyed themselves immensely. The wedding went flawlessly, and I enjoyed my experience working with Jake. For those reasons, I, Alana Stoyas, Principal Event Planner for Parties With Panache, would highly recommend his services to future clients.

I met Jake Ritchi about 3 years ago and when I found out that he is in the wedding industry as a DJ we instantly connected. His passion for his work shines through when he talks about it. Jake is one of the kindest people I have ever met and I know that he will do his best to make a great experience for any couple on their special day. I highly recommend Jake to any of my brides.

Jake from Dream Day DJ's is a top notch performer. He really cares about the desires and needs of his clients. When you hire Jake as your wedding entertainer you will not be disappointed, he is a true professional. Jake has the experience and the organizational skills to execute any type of wedding reception.

Jake Ritchie takes a lot of pride in his work and I have attended an event to see Dream Day DJ's in action. Jake Ritchie was very professional and easy to work with. Our company also hired him for an internal technical project which he completed in a timely manner. He has a very calm and positive attitude and works well under pressure.

Quality, talent and professionalism are givens with Jake & Dream Day DJs. In addition to these attributes, Jake is incredibly easy to work with and gets along well with other vendors...not always a given in this industry, but definitely a bonus when you find it!

You will find few others with his many years experience and passion for providing outstanding Wedding Entertainment.

Jake is an amazing DJ! As a planner, I understand how a DJ can really make/break a wedding reception more so than food, ambiance, etc. They hold the keys to the party and Jake knows how to ensure a successful reception. Unlike some other DJs, he keeps the newlyweds and guests wants/needs in mind catering the music to ensure the party stays hoppin'! He is unobtrusive, professional, and fun to work with. I look forward to working with Jake for many years to come.

Jake is a true professional. I have worked with a lot of DJs both in this area as well as other parts of the country and I have not worked with any that can control a party like Jake. When I know Jake is working a wedding here at the Sheraton, I know I will have nothing to worry about. If you are looking for a low-key wedding party or a blow-out bash- Jake is the one to ensure your guests have the most memorable party.

Dream Day DJ's is the absolute best when it comes to your wedding day music! Jake is fantastic to work with, a fabulous entertainer, and a professional in every sense of the word. I look forward to working with him again!

Dream Day DJ's have been a delight to work with! Their selections of music from a wide variety of options is bound to suit the needs of any wedding or special event or wedding. They make weddings and events rock! I highly recommend them!
