    In 2020, I came across DJ Persist on Instagram Live, and I was immediately blown away. He was seamlessly blending Latin music with American pop, understanding the rhythms of both cultures and playing total bops. At the time, I had only been dating my (now) husband, who’s from Mexico, for about a year-- but I remember thinking right then and there: "when we get married, we’re hiring DJ Persist." Cut to 2025, and that’s exactly what we did. We’re based in NYC and flew Jesse in from Chicago because we knew how important it was to have someone who could truly bridge both of our cultures on the dance floor, and wow, did he deliver. The energy was unreal. The dance floor never let up -- both families came in and out all night, and most of the time we were all dancing together. It was incredible how effortlessly Jesse moved between English and Spanish. It made both of our families feel included and celebrated, and we heard nonstop praise from everyone (on both sides) about how incredible he was. People were in awe of the setlist, the transitions, the vibe. We brought him to our after-party where we really let the dance floor loose. He's such a smart DJ-- not just pressing play on a playlist. He understands the musicality, the beats, and how to layer songs together; it was seriously so fun. On top of all that, Jesse is just great to work with- kind, responsive, professional, and fairly priced. He truly gets it, and hiring him was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

    DJ Persist was amazing throughout our entire event. He had the dance floor packed with people dancing the whole time. He made sure our special night was unforgettable for everyone there. We had a good mix of guests and he played genres that everyone was familiar with. Prior to our wedding, he provided us with many great suggestions for our special dances and met with us to go over our timeline. Although wedding planning can be a bit stressful, he did a great job at making us feel that the music wouldn’t be part of the stress. We were in good hands. We highly recommend DJ Persist for his professionalism, ease of working with, and his expertise in this industry. 10/10

    We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ for our wedding! From start to finish, DJ Persist (Jesse) was down-to-earth, professional, and truly incredible to work with. He made sure that every part of our wedding aligned with our twilight theme, and his attention to detail did not go unnoticed. He seamlessly MC’d when needed, keeping the energy HIGH and the flow of the night smooth. Most importantly, the dance floor was *never* empty, exactly what we wanted! Even four days after our wedding, we’re still hearing from our guests about how amazing the music was. If you’re looking for a DJ who listens, delivers, and keeps the party going, HE’s is the one!

    DJ Persist is truly the best! I’ve been fortunate to know him since high school, and I’ve followed his music throughout college. He was the first DJ I saw seamlessly blend Arabic and Spanish music at a Mexican-Palestinian wedding, and it was amazing! When my wedding day finally arrived, I was thrilled to reach out to him and book his services. His expertise in mixing all genres of music is unmatched, and the compliments from our guests were non-stop throughout the night. He also has a fantastic, organized portal that makes planning your wedding a breeze, and he is incredibly responsive through emails if you need anything. Thank you so much, DJ Persist!
