Black Magic DJ

Jake was our DJ this past weekend at our wedding at the Fremont Abbey Arts Center and he was fantastic! He has a true appreciation for music and understands that the music at a wedding has to fit the couple. He was more than willing to find and play all of the random music selections I had requested in my overly controlling spreadsheet :) No typical DJ cheese, no music we didn’t want, really fair flat rate fee and super friendly personality. We hired him on a friend’s recommendation and couldn’t be happier with our decision. Really recommend Jake for your wedding or any event, you get a nice guy, who loves music and genuinely cares about your event going well!

Jake of Black Magic was our DJ just this past weekend. We had a Downton Abbey themed wedding and he rocked it.
My husband and I chose Jake for the following reasons:
1) Jake is a musician — not just a commercialized DJ doing cookie cutter weddings and trying to squeeze every cent out of you
2) Jake offered a flat rate for us — no hassle. Many DJs we met try to get creative with how they take money from us. Jake didn’t do any of that — he kept it simple and classy.
3) Jake had a great attitude throughout since the first meeting to the day of the wedding
4) Jake understands music — we literally told him we need «1920’s music», he picked the playlist and not only wowed us but we had a lot of feedback from our guests how great the music was. Jake was able to tell us what will «actually» work for the wedding (sometimes what you think works in your head isn’t the same thing as what actually works).
5) Jake was NOT cheesy — he kept the DJ talking low key, laid back, quite frankly pretty swank.
6) Jake is flexible — instead of filling out his questionnaire we gave him an excel spreadsheet and he rolled with it.
7) Jake is professional and PUNCTUAL — he arrived early on the day of to set up and didn’t mind meeting us few weeks in advance to go over his equipment and lighting set up. Jake did up-​lighting for us and it was exceptional — created the «English Dinner» setting/​mood that we wanted.
8) Jake is also pretty good looking and really tall — added class to our wedding :) I had a lot of questions coming from female guests about him.
Will my husband and I recommend Jake? Absolutely!!! Go book him today!
J&A

Jacob was my DJ for my wedding in June, 2014. I had contacted him over a year before, based on reviews I had read. He was professional from the beginning, and met with my then fiancé and I to go over what we were looking for. He had a questionnaire that was extensive, but helpful for us to communicate what we did or didn’t want.
He checked in about a month before, and was open to any last minute song suggestions.
On the day of our wedding, he came early to check out the space. He had offered to bring a small speaker to have at our small ceremony before the reception. He was friendly to guests, and truly professional the entire evening. I really can’t articulate enough how great he was! He played the songs we requested, and even stayed a couple of hours late because there were a few of us remaining on the dance floor!
I highly recommend Black Magic DJ. Jacob remains calm and collected on a busy day which is very helpful. He feels like one of your guests and really aims to please. He even threw in a couple of extra songs he knew my dad liked!
I am sure you have heard some bad DJ stories, and using Black Magic DJ will ensure that you never will have a bad DJ story to tell!

Jacob was awesome! He was professional and humorous. He was able to read the crowd and keep people on the dance floor. The only issue we had was music volume during dinner and that’s because someone kept telling him to turn it down. The other half of the room wasn’t able to hear anything. If I were to do this again, I would have the speakers on each side of the head table so both sides of the room can hear everything clearly without becoming deaf. Again this was not Jacob’s fault and I definitely recommend him :)

Jacob was amazing as my wedding DJ. He played the exact music I asked for and didn’t play any music that was outside of the parameters given. I was really worried about hiring one of those really annoying Jersey Shore type DJ’s who loves to hear themselves over the microphone, and thankfully Jacob was exactly the opposite of that. He was responsive, kind, and paid attention to my requests. He was definitely worth the money I paid, and then some!
My wedding will be featured on TLC’s Four Weddings next year, so it was really important to me that we threw a party that was TV worthy. With Jacob’s help I think we did just that!

Best. Wedding. DJ. EVAR!
Ok, so I’ve only been married once, but I have been to a lot of weddings, and Jacob was top of the class.
Was extremely professional when I contacted him about DJing my wedding (and let’s you pay with PayPal!).
I felt his pre-​wedding form really allowed me to show the music I liked (and I have some odd tastes) and disliked…
Respectful and unassuming at the actual reception (unlike in-​your-​face-​kind of DJs). The kind of guy you want to grab a beer with.
Best part though was the selection of music. Picked the right kind of jazz and such for dinner, then once the dancing started the hits kept coming. And by hits, I mean good music that’s fun to dance to, and not poppy stuff that makes me want to turn the channel. He knew how to read my tastes, and that of the crowd, and really kept it going with GOOD music. Made the reception into a great party, which is exactly what we wanted.
I’m sure if you tell him what you like (and dislike) he’ll be able to find the perfect mix for your party too!
