DJ Persist was recommended to us by our chosen caterer for our wedding and we are so glad we chose DJ Persist to DJ our wedding. DJ persist is very professional, easy to communicate and work with, and made our wedding day run very smoothly. He went above and beyond to ensure our day was everything we dreamed of. Us and our guests truly had the best day dancing the night away!

You NEED to go with DJ Persist for your wedding!!! We originally found him because we were hoping to find a bilingual DJ who could address our loved ones in both English and Spanish while knowing the fun Mexican wedding dance traditions. We had multiple interviews with DJs but he really stood out and made us feel like no one would be left out on the dance floor! We got the deluxe package which includes everything you need! The most important part was the music and he truly knocked it out of the park. He incorporated all the genres and songs we asked for while adding in songs that fit the vibe perfectly. He was able to create the perfect multicultural medley that fit us perfectly as a couple. It ranged from 2000s hits to cumbias to Marco Antonio Solís to Taylor Swift which may seem like a huge range but he did it all so seamlessly that everyone was having the best time. He did such a great job of keeping us on track that night and followed the timeline we gave him to a T! He also offers so many fun and cool add-ons. We got the Photo Booth add-on which our guests loved as they got to take something home with them. We also had a robot (who dressed up as a gorilla for a bit) and this was the highlight of the night!!! Seriously our guests have not stopped talking about it because it was so memorable and different :) He made everything so easy and seamless so that you just show up on wedding day and have fun! He also put together a picture slideshow of my husband and I which was such a sweet touch. His lighting set-up was amazing and worked perfectly with our venue. I honestly wish we would’ve gotten more add-ons so do it for yours because you won’t regret it! Jesse is truly a great guy with vibrant and professional energy that you will be so happy you went with him! 100000/10 recommend! Thank you DJ Persist!!!

DJ Persist was recommended to us by friends who had gotten married the year before and described his DJing as "lit" and he did not disappoint. When we first met him he was clear, friendly, and helpful in explaining all his package options. During planning he was very flexible in working with our wedding planners, venue staff, and other musicians. His wedding planning website was awesome and helped streamline what would be a flawless event in terms of timing and coordination. Most importantly during our wedding he was professional, fun, and the best DJ we could have hoped for. For our event he played a wide variety of music as per our request including salsa, cumbia, reggaeton, hip-hop, and pop.
