JSH Music Productions

We had such a blast at our wedding and one of the main reasons was due to our music entertainment! We hired JSH Music Productions for our wedding ceremony music (acoustic guitar), cocktail hour music (DJ music) and for our reception dancing which was a live band called Stir Father. Everything was just perfect and exactly what we envisioned. The acoustic guitar played by Erich Schneider was so beautiful. We provided Jon Harris a list of songs that we would like to hear during the cocktail hour and I remember hearing all of them and even others that I didn't tell him but were favorite of ours too. He understood our taste and style. The band blew our guests away! If you are looking for a band that can play rock, funk, and pop songs, then Stir Father is the one for you. Our dance floor was packed. The band members interacted with our guests (our group is not shy) and helped make it an unforgettable party! Most of our guests were from Chicago and they made sure to add some touches of Chi-town persoanlity. We appreciated too that the band learned a new song or two for us which made it very special especially for the father/daughter dance. Thank you JSH Music Productions for an EPIC time at our wedding.

DJ Jon was extremely willing to work with us to make sure we had the perfect playlist for our wedding...whether it was the nice songs that acted as a great background to dinner or the party songs to dance to during the reception, he just nailed it! If you're looking for a DJ that can take care of any kind of reception and knows what kind of music of music to play based on what the crowd is feeling, while also being hands off enough to know that the focus is the "fun," then DJ Jon is your man. Can't recommend him more highly.

Couldn't have been any happier with our wedding! Although our wedding was in Northern California, communicating with Jon was breeze. Whether by email or phone, Jon was very helpful in making suggestions and very flexible with our numerous last minute timeline changes. He moved the wedding along perfectly which helped my wife and I have more time to dance and hang out with our guests.

Between my mom, my wife's parents and ourselves, we only gave Jon a handful of music requests and told him to run with it. Having a half Latino wedding, we were going to need a good variety of music and Jon nailed it. With salsas, merengues, hip hop and rock, we had parents, friends and even grandparents on the dance floor until the very last song.

Jon also suggested the Schneider father/son guitar duo for our ceremony music and they were great. We chose the songs we wanted for our aisle walks only weeks before our wedding and they were able to learn the songs they didn't already know and were right on queue with everything.

I received many compliments on the music for the day and was told it was the most fun they'd had at wedding in a long time by many of our guests. Although I don't plan on getting married again, I would highly recommend JSH Music Productions for any event. Can't imagine how much fun the live band would be.

Jon did a great job providing the musicians and performing as DJ and as drummer in the band. The violinist and pianist for the ceremony were first rate and professional, and the band, the Vineyard Byrds, was excellent. I would highly recommend Jon to take care of all your musical needs; rehearsal, ceremony, reception, whatever.

I absolutely recommend JHS Music Productions! Jon was the DJ for our wedding last month and he did and fantastic job! He is easy to work with, reasonably priced, and had a great selection of music. I appreciated the he was able to keep the wedding moving, but did not take over the event. Plus, he played a great mix at the reception which kept the guest on the dance floor ALL night long!

Jon Harris and JSH Music Productions provided all of the music at our wedding -- acoustic guitar with vocals for our BBQ rehearsal dinner, Spanish guitar for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and DJ and live rock (Stir Father) for our reception. Jon and his guys rocked, and we recommend them highly.

Before the wedding: As our wedding was on a private vineyard, where we had to build out all of our own venues, Jon visited the property months before the big day and helped us figure out how to set up for each event -- recommendations that worked out perfectly. Jon was always responsive with quotes and proposed set lists, available by both phone and e-mail.

Rehearsal BBQ: We did a casual BBQ for all our guests rather than a traditional rehearsal dinner. Stir Father's lead singer sang and played amplified acoustic guitar, providing a fun and mellow atmosphere as our guests mingled and celebrated. He also happily accommodated roasts and two friends who wanted to sing. Jon was there to help set up and to make sure it all went smoothly.

Ceremony Music & Cocktail Hour: Great Spanish guitar. Handled our music choices well, hit his cues perfectly, and provided great background music for the cocktail hour. Set the mood and perfectly matched the event's vibe.

Dinner & Dancing: Jon and Stir Father were, in a word, awesome. Jon nailed the cue for our arrival song and was ready to go with each of our set-piece dances. Then the band kicked in -- and they rocked. Stir Father started with music that all our guests would enjoy, then moved seamlessly through the set list that we'd worked out ahead of time. They sounded fantastic covering everything from "Video Killed the Radio Star" to "Paradise City."

Our photos really tell the story: a full dance floor with guests of all ages having a blast. We had such a good time ourselves that we decided to skip our early departure and have the band play an extra half hour. They even took it in stride when our of our guests, rockin' out at the front of the dance floor, tripped over a monitor and took the lead guitarist down with her.

Jon and the band weren't cheap, but they were worth it. We wanted our wedding to be a big party for all our family and friends, and JSH Music Productions helped make it exactly that.

We could not be happier with the level of service that Jon provided. From the get go Jon was extremely professional, defined what his role consisted of, and let us know what he would need from us. We received such amazing feedback from all of our guests on how fantastic of party our wedding was. The dance-floor was packed the ENTIRE evening. My criteria for a good wedding was people dancing, a little drunk, and well fed. Jon sure did help in achieving one of our goals. I would highly suggest him to anyone else!!

We hired JSH Music Productions for a reception band (the Vineyard Byrds) and Jon Harris (the drummer) was also our MC and DJ'd the cocktail hour, the background music for the dinner and music for first dances, etc. Jon was very helpful ahead of time to cater to our every whim and quirk when it came to music selection and special requirements for the ceremony setup, etc. He was very friendly and down to earth and delivered excellent service during the event. All the DJ'd music played flawlessly and without interuption. He was a great MC as well because he stuck to the sequence of events and was still able to adapt when we were running late. When it came time for the band to play, they brought a great energy into the reception and kept the dance floor packed. All my guests, young and old, enjoyed themselves, and I heard nothing but good things from everybody. Most people raved that it was the most fun they'd ever had at a wedding. And the band was also able to learn two new songs for us and played them perfectly.

We booked Jon Harris as DJ for our wedding in June and would highly recommend him. From the first time we met Jon, over a glass of wine joined by his lovely wife, we knew everything was going to be great. In the planning stages Jon was responsive to emails and well-organized. He worked with us to make a great set-list for the reception party and he is confident, calm and very professional on the microphone to keep things ticking along nicely. Jon was able to play a great selection of songs that we had chosen before hand and also seamlessly include a couple of requests for others at the party. Most importantly, he was super easy going and kept a calm and fun attitude throughout and easily adapted when we inevitably morphed from the schedule that we had so carefully planned out. Jon is a great DJ and if you have a bigger venue than we were working with he also has a couple of bands which sound like they would be really fun. Thank you to Jon for helping to make our wedding a special day and a fantastic time was had by all.

Awesome band, Jon was hired to do the music for the reception as well as "dj" the ceremony. His on-the-fly decisions and back-up possibilities were WELL above and beyond the call of duty and made the day that much better for everyone! They play what you want them to play, not what they want to play and they do it with a fun-loving energy and shear professionalism!

JSH Music Productions provided live jazz music for the outdoor cocktail hour following our wedding ceremony and DJ services for the reception in October 2009 in Berkeley, Ca. We loved working with Jon - he is enthusiastic and clearly loves what he does. We spoke to him several times leading up to our wedding and he was willing to spend plenty of time with us to understand the feel we were going for.

The jazz quartet was very professional and all our wedding guests loved the sophisticated and fun cocktail hour during sunset on the patio. Jon did an excellent job with introductions and announcements - he kept the event moving smoothly along but never tried to "steal the show," as I've seen some other DJs try to do. A guest gave us a surprise hula performance partway through the reception which he handled expertly - he even had appropriate music. He also did a great job accommodating our request for a short movie screening - he provided all the necessary equipment and all the technology worked seamlessly.

For the dance party, we had chosen several "must play" songs and Jon did a great job suggesting other music we might like. Most importantly, he kept the dance floor packed almost an hour past our planned quitting time! He has a terrific sound system and lots of fun lights to set a great mood. (Make sure your DJ has lights because it makes a huge difference in the feel of the dance party.)

Overall, my husband and I were completely happy with our choice and would highly recommend JSH Music Productions for your wedding or other event.

JSH Music Productions did an awesome job at our wedding!! Jon was super professional, had great music suggestions, and really kept the party going all night. All of our guests said he was the best DJ they had ever seen! We had some interesting music selections for our ceremony and Jon did a fantastic job accommodating them. Chris totally rocked the guitar for the cocktail hour and everyone LOVED IT! Thanks again Jon! Joel and Sarah Dean

Jon and JSH Music Productions were a great 'one stop shop' for wedding planning. With one contact, I was able to secure my ceremony music, cocktail hour music, DJ during dinner and band for dancing afterwards! It was perfect! Jon is very responsive and flexible and happy to answer any questions or provide any assistance needed. He even helped us find a wedding coordinator!

We were so happy with the services provided by JSH for our wedding in February, 2009. We used Jon's jazz band for the first part of our reception, and they were fabulous! Provided exactly the atmosphere we wanted during dinner and Jon even arranged for our nieces to sing L-O-V-E with the band. After dinner Jon switched over to his DJ service and had the room dancing until the very end. The pictures are proof that everyone was up and moving around! Compared to the prices for the other entertainment companies we looked at, JSH provided quite deal for the high quality they delivered. Jon was wonderful to work with and very organized and responsive. I would highly recommend them!

Professional, great to work with, very talented musicians! JSH Music Productions hosted the music for our wedding weekend. The jazz band played at our formal reception, cocktail hour, and background music during dinner. Lively and fun when they needed to be (cocktail hour) and subdued during the dinner. The music was great for every age group too. Jon provided the perfect entrance announcement for my husband and I and accommodated to changes in the timeline. Our 'day two' party was at a vineyard barn...the rock band was AWESOME! So much fun, I can still picture everyone dancing! They really exceeded my expectations. The sound level was perfect too, I've been to weddings where the band is so loud it's uncomfortable.
I would recommend JSH Music to anyone, feel free to contact me ca_locascio@yahoo.com

Hello future brides/grooms,

JSH Music Productions played for my husband's and my wedding reception in August 2008. We could not have been happier with not only how great the band sounded/played together, but the fact that our "first song" is performed by a woman, and therefore, we needed a DJ service as well. The band's instruments were all well kept and beautiful and the sound quality of the DJ equipment was clear and crisp. JSH Music Productions was very professional, kind, and full of great energy! Our dance-floor was certainly full of happy and greatly entertained guests. I would definitely recommend this band/DJ production to any bride or groom hoping to have a great and memorable wedding reception!

Jon / JSH Production Team-

Your presentation was professional, and the format really suited our venue. Your music recommendations and attention to detail were personalized for us, all of which showed through on the day of our event from start to finish. The jazz band was amazing, and added a beautiful touch to the ceremony and cocktail hour. We received numerous favorable compliments on the music from our guests. The dancing hours were too fun! The flexibility you offered, as a DJ, with guests wanting to make special requests and take the microphone to make speeches, and all of your added personal touches for Shane & I were awesome! We offer our most sincere thanks to JHS for their amazing contribution to make our wedding day such a success!!
Many Thanks to you and your team!
Shane and Karen!
