Elizabeth & Bryan

October 8, 2011 The Scottish Rite Center Portland, OR

Catering: In House, Katering by Kurt

Photographer: Ben Wood Photography

Cake: Thriftway in Garden Home

"Jill was awesome. She was incredibly flexible and accommodating in playing the music that we wanted our guests to hear. She kept things moving at a good pace, kept people on the dance-floor with a well-structured list of fast/slow songs, and she didn't play any of the super-cheesy wedding songs. I was very happy with the fact that she didn't talk a lot on the microphone as many wedding DJs do -- I've been to weddings where the DJ basically sings the song as it plays, "a little bit softer now, a little bit softer now." That's annoying. Jill let the music do the talking. She showed up to the wedding on time and was ready to do her thing. I thought her fee was fair and I was happy to pay for the service rendered. I've recommended her to others and will continue to do so."

"Jill did a fabulous job of keeping the day going smoothly and our guests on the dance floor! From the ceremony's late start to a cooler than expected evening, Jill made sure that all of our unexpected surprises weren't an issue for anyone. We were sad to call it a night - everyone would have danced for hours longer!"

"Jill was amazing! My husband and I love to dance, and love a very eclectic mix of music. We had been to so many weddings where the music ruined the evening, and we did not want that to happen to us. Luckily, we chose Jill Wyman, because her music ended up making the evening! She was so aware of the crowd, and knew just when to change the tempo, throw in an upbeat song, or take it down for a slow dance. She did not play anything we didn't like, and did a great job of balancing our love of country, pop, rock and top 40. What made the evening so magical was that everyone - young and old - danced till the party ended. She knew just how to keep everyone excited via the music. Finally, what I loved about Jill was that, while her music was front and center, she was very behind the scenes. You might not even have noticed her, and she did not try to bring her own style to our wedding. She kept our wedding ours, and focused on making sure the dance floor was always going strong!"

"Jill was a great choice to DJ our wedding. She simplified the process by providing a comprehensive planning checklist in order to get a good idea of our tastes. She incorporated a list of our "must-have" songs, but also made great choices for the remainder of the night. As soon as the dancing started the floor was packed all night! She was on time, prepared, and professional."

"I again want to say how happy we were with your work as our wedding DJ. We have in fact referred you to friends/family who are planning to marry in the near future. Additionally, I attended 3 other weddings this summer and no one was even close to as talented as you. Thank you again!"

- Catie, May 2011

Upon referral from Catie for my services to her co-worker:

"As I told you before, my husband and I were so happy and impressed with your work. Since our wedding over a year ago we've had the opportunity to attend other weddings and you still reign supreme as the best DJ we've encountered. Hope all is well :)"

- Catie, Aug 2012

 

 

   

I may not be a 'guy in a tux' and I do not wish to be a 'talk-show host'... I am at your event to make it the best it can be.

I have an eye and ear for the details and work to make sure the important musical parts of your day come off without a hitch.

I will work with your coordinator, vendors, family and friends to make a completely seamless day. I will make any announcements you may need. I can help with coordination of events.

I know what your guests may be expecting from the day and how to manage that with what you would like to have happen. I do this all while working to play great (not kitschy) music. Music that will make you & your guests have a great time!

- Jill
