DJ Jer
You’ve been planning this day for what seems like forever. You have every detail and element in place, your vows have been said, tearful speeches are over, your bellies are full and now you’re ready to party on the dance floor with wedding entertainment director and Masters of Ceremony, DJ Jer.
Tell us about DJ Jer Event Lighting + Design and where the concept and passion began?
I was the kid in school who was always getting in trouble because I was the class clown. I loved entertaining people and making them laugh. Apparently my teachers didn’t agree with me. I always loved music and have an appreciation for all genres. When I was 15 years old I went to a middle school dance and completely fell in love with the idea of entertaining people through music. I love watching people enjoying themselves and dancing, so I saved up all my money over the summer and created what we are today. When I was young and naïve I had to have a “cool DJ name,” and since everyone called me Jer back then I thought that was the coolest thing ever. Now I can’t rebrand because we have built such a reputation as DJ Jer, so I am stuck with the name. What services do you offer?

much more than just a dance. It is a celebration where your guests will be a part of an experience from the moment they walk through the doors. As the Master of Ceremonies, our job is to make sure guests stay informed, announcements are made and the night stays on schedule. But, most importantly, we provide peace of mind for the couple. We offer creative ideas and lighting design that have been recognized across the nation. We have audio visual components for our couples as well as assistance with ceremony sound and more. When we listen to our client’s needs, we can create large and small productions specific to them. We also offer education and private consultations to brides, grooms and their families to create the best wedding reception ever. What sort of things should couples take into consideration when booking their entertainment?
Instead of price shopping, you should be talent shopping. Remember, you get what you pay for. The next biggest thing a couple should take
into consideration is whether the DJ really cares about the couple and if they mesh well. Every couple should make sure they set up a meeting with their potential DJ, because the DJ is the make or break for a successful wedding celebration. If the DJ doesn’t care to meet face to face to ensure they are good fits for each other, then the DJ isn’t going to truly care about their wedding day. If a couple and a DJ do not mesh, they are guaranteed failure. Find a DJ that has proven themselves and continues ongoing education to improve their craft. What sets DJ Jer apart from other entertainment options in the region?
The passion and hard work I put into weddings will show. I truly care about the success of my couples’ celebrations. When I am in front of all your guests, they will know that what I am doing on your behalf is completely real and not a routine.
