Pete and Jen of PJ Events are hands down the best event DJ's I have ever come across! My husband and I first became aware of them when they DJ'd and MC'd my cousin's wedding back in October of 2010. We were so impressed with their energy and professionalism that when it came time to plan our own wedding, there was no question that they would be our top choice for reception entertainment. Soon after becoming engaged, we contacted the duo and set up a time to meet and discuss the details of our wedding. Unlike some of the other vendors with whom we met, Pete and Jen made it a priority to get to know us and to discuss exactly what it was we were looking for in a DJ. They came to our meeting prepared with various documents that outlined their prices and services as well as an informative list of FAQ's. Pete and Jen were so organized, reasonably priced, and downright sweet, that our decision to hire them for our wedding was a no-brainer! When our wedding day finally came around, Pete and Jen went over and beyond their call of duty! They arrived to our wedding venue early to make sure that they were completely set up and ready to go prior to our reception. They even went out of their way to accommodate our last minute need for extra sound equipment when one of our other vendors wasn't able to provide it. Our reception itself was perfect! Pete and Jen ensured that the atmosphere was energetic and fun. They were so charismatic and engaging, that our dance floor was packed with people the entire night! Many of our guests contacted us after our wedding to reiterate how much fun they had and to comment on how wonderful our DJ and MC were! Indeed, our wedding reception exceeded even the high expectations that my husband and I had for it. We owe it all to you, Pete and Jen! Thanks a million!

Pete & Jen of PJ Events were more than we ever had wished for. After interviewing several DJs, these two were the only ones professional enough to actually listen to what we wanted and offer us ideas. Their planning sheets are in depth and so helpful and no matter what you imagine these two can make it happen. It was wonderful having a husband and wife team act as DJ AND Emcee. They made sure our night was perfect by keeping us on a timeline and informing us whenever something was coming next so we could prepare. We had asked to include a conga line and a fun dance, and we had the whole floor filled and danced to Blues Brothers. From meeting them, to the planning stages to the final event they were absolutely wonderful and fun. Friends are still mentioning what fun they had and how great the DJ was, song choice and personality. The price is competitive and they worked well with all of our other vendors, informing them of when to be prepared for special photographs, etc. They are beyond amazing and if I could suggest one thing to make your night go smoothly it would be to hire your DJ from PJ Events.

We were so happy with our choice of Randy (emcee) and Jen (DJ) for our Chinese-American wedding on 9/17/11 at Mission 261 Restaurant in San Gabriel, CA. We knew them from two other weddings we went to in the last few years and they were our first choice for entertainment as soon as we got engaged. Randy and Jen are very easy going, professional and reliable. Randy was so flexible with my last minute changes to the schedule which I really appreciate. Randy did a great job in collaborating with a friend who interpreted parts of the entertainment in Cantonese. Randy is very entertaining and quick on his feet. Jen was open to all our music choices. We would definitely recommend them.

Pete and Jen were absolutely wonderful to work with. My husband and I were planning our Malibu wedding from the east coast and were lucky to find Pete and Jen through an acquaintance. We met with them 2 months before the wedding at a local coffee shop and were immediately put at ease - they are professional and clearly very experienced with a relaxed and friendly approach. While relaxed, they also are sticklers about details (in a great way) and ready to cater to your event's needs (style, audience, timeline). We had plenty of questions and they patiently walked us through everything. Generally speaking, we had a pretty haphazard planning process with no day-of coordinator until a few days before the wedding, and Jen and Pete were very accommodating. They made it to a venue walkthrough with only 48 hours notice and helped us gauge our venue and party's needs. When I produced a rough timeline for the day-of, they provided much appreciated feedback and went over every detail with us by phone a few days before the event. They also emailed our other vendors the final timeline to make sure everyone was on the same page. On the day of the event, Pete and Jen both helped things run smoothly - we couldn't have pulled it off without them. When I forgot to draw up the floor plan for the reception, Jen worked with my friends to make sure the table numbers were placed correctly. They also provided the audio set-up for my brother, who wrote and performed the music for our first dance. The day before, we realized that we needed an extra mic for the ceremony music, which my brother and a friend were performing, and Jen and Pete once again pulled through on short notice and provided the equipment and set-up, all with a smile and no extra charges. Pete also graciously emceed the reception - we didn't want a very involved emcee, just someone who could run things on time like cake-cutting, table dismissal for buffet, first dance, etc., and Pete did it all very smoothly. I have no doubt that if we had wanted a very charismatic, vocal emcee, he could have done that as well with no qualms. We cannot thank them enough for the job they did and would recommend them to friends without hesitation.

PJ Events offers both a day of coordinating as well as planning the entire event with you. They also offer Emcee and DJ services for additional cost. We chose to go with the event planning (which incorporates day of coordination into the price) and use of the DJing and Emcee services. Jenn was instrumental in helping with a lot of the decisions we made, mostly because she found and had relationships with a lot of vendors with decent pricing and great offerings. She helped us ease out of an event location we had previously chosen that wanted ridiculous prices for what was offered insomuch as the food and decoration abilities they had, and helped us craft a wedding reception and ceremony that was unique to us and didn't blow our budget.Day of Jenn had a few extra hands on deck to help as well as Pete as the Emcee and also assisting in making the event happen, and he did a great job during our reception putting everybody in the mood to dance and celebrate. Jenn helped us book the reception venue, our florist, the DJ obviously (and was able to get the DJ I specifically wanted, whose name is Randy but good luck getting him because he is in DEMAND!) as well as general decor, and picking up various things day of.All and all my new Bride and I are very happy with how the day turned out, and we would definitely recommend PJ Events and are really happy to have had them involved.

I cannot say enough about how wonderful PJ events has been to work with. I have now worked with them twice for different events and they exceeded expectations both times. Jen MC'd a small Theatrical Tea fundraiser with great success. She moved the event along in a smooth and professional manner and I got several compliments on the job she did from the patrons.Best of all, Jen performed Wedding Coordinator duties for my daughter's wedding and Pete, along with Randy, performed the DJ services. Again, we could not have been more pleased. Both Jen and Pete were caring, ultra-organized and paid close attention to detail. They were proactive about getting information from us,were excellent in keeping the lines of communication open, and are a fabulous team. At the actual event, Jen kept us informed, moved the event along and generally made sure that what we wanted got done. She maintained a professional and very pleasant attitude even at the end of the evening when the venue folks goofed up and really inconvenienced her. We received complimentary remarks from several of the other vendors she coordinated and I highly recommend her as a wedding coordinator.Pete MC'd our evening and he too did an excellent job. He was professional, engaging and fun. He also kept me (mother of the bride) informed just ahead of each big item (cake cutting, etc) so I was prepared and in the right place. He pitched in and helped get the venue set up and did tons of work with several items we were responsible instead of other vendors. We also got compliments on his style and manner. Randy the DJ was fabulous as well, even quickly popping on a quick bit of the Disney Electrical Parade music when my husband made a reference to the bride wanting to be a Disney Princess. It was the perfect touch.I am honored to highly recommend PJ Events for any event that needs coordination or a DJ.

We would recommend PJ Events to anyone and everyone. They were professional, organized, a pleasure to work with, multi-tasking, and worked the room from beginning to end. Numerous wedding guests commented on the great energy and music/dance selections of PJ Events. Thank you for making our wedding such a great experience.
Wedding: 2/6/10
So we booked PJ events because of all the positive feedback and reviews. We used Johnny and Enrique. We needed bilingual people because my family needed English only and my husbands family needed Spanish only. The initial consultation went very well. Jen and Peter are both very nice, casual people. They made me feel very comfortable about using their company. Enrique did a great job interacting with our guests. He spoke fluent Spanish and had a great personality we liked him. Johnny the DJ and English emcee was great. He was very nice and friendly. He really helped us with great song selections and cool ideas. He was so much fun and got everyone out of their seats. He made it a great night. I would highly recommend both of these entertainers. Jen is very proffesional and she also helped with other referrals which I am very thankful for. Overall a great experience.

I can't say enough positive things about PJ Events to do them justice. Jen and Pete were so professional and flexible to our needs. When we saw their website, we thought that maybe they would be too involved for us during the reception. We explained that we only wanted a little bit of DJ interaction...no chicken dances or electric slides for this group! They immediately said "no problem..that's what you're going to get". They worked with us closely to design not only a play list, but a "no play" list of the songs we didn't particularly want at our wedding. They even asked us how they should dress for the event. Very professional, warm, caring people. I'd recommend them to anyone wanting to add a DJ to their event.

There's only positive things we can say about PJ Events. They were very helpful in answering all of our questions.

PJ Events is a great service. They were very on top of things and very quick to respond to questions. Their website planner sheet is very detailed and organized. They mention all the dances or special moment for the big day. Everything we set up perfectly. After the wedding, I had great feed back from my guest. Everyone mentioned that the DJ really lead the party and kept the flow moving. We appreciated everything they did for us. We had an amazing wedding thank to this company. Thank you.

PJ Events was absolutely WONDERFUL to work with and made our wedding day a huge success!! Pete and Jen are two of the nicest people you will ever meet, and their fun, energetic personalities shine through from the second you meet them to the time the last song is played at your wedding. They were always very easy to reach by phone and e-mail, and even met with us in person twice before we signed a contract. We had originally contracted to have Pete and Jen at our wedding, and then as a bonus they also brought Leilani as well. This triple threat was amazing, as they took turns as MC and worked seamlessly throughout our reception to ensure that our guests were having a great time. This team also acted as reception coordinators, ensuring that the evening went smoothly and that everything from the grand entrance to the toasts to the cake cutting went off without a hitch. We wanted some Russian music played during the evening, and gave Pete and Jen a few songs to use. But PJ Events went the extra mile by finding additional Russian music from a previous event they had done, which everyone loved and really shows PJ's dedication to making sure your event is wonderful. The selection and variety of music they played was perfect, and my guests were up on the dance floor all night. At one point a moonwalking competition even broke out, with Leilani showing everyone how it's done! These guys were amazing... fun and high energy without the cheese. We are still receiving compliments from guests on how wonderful the reception was, and we owe a lot of that to PJ Events. All three of them brought a wonderful balance of professionalism and fun to our big day, and we highly recommend them to everyone!!

GREAT, GREAT, GREAT! PJ Events put the "wow" in our wedding reception. By the end of the night there was not a soul left in their seats as PJ Events found a way to include everyone! From the very first meeting, they helped us organize our wedding ceremony and reception. They have state of the art equipment and know how to use it. Their website allows you to upload and keep track of all your day of preferences including music as well as special announcements so that no detail is forgotten.We give PJ Events the highest rating possible and recommend them to everyone!

PJ Events made us feel at ease during our wedding reception, they were on top of every detail in correspondence with the wedding coordinator. There selection of music was OUTSTANDING and fit our crowd perfectly!! Even now 2 weeks after our wedding my husband and I are still hearing how fantastic our reception was. We give that credit 100% to PJ events. Pete and Jen were there for us every step of the way, any time I had a question no matter what time it was...they were there to let me feel at ease! I would HIGHLY recommend PJ events they were AWESOME!!!!!! Thank you Pete and Jen!!!!Greg & Kristy 6-20-09

Jen and Pete from PJ Events did a phenomenal job at our wedding in Las Vegas. They provided DJ/Emcee services and also event coordination services for us. As DJs they were innovative, exciting, and engaging. They managed to get every single person out on the dance floor and having a great time. Our guests are still talking about the fantastic experience they had!As event coordinators they demonstrated the highest degree of professional excellence that far exceeded our expectations. Right from the start, Jen and Pete partnered with us to ensure that our wedding day went smoothly and exactly as we hoped. Just as importantly, they partnered with our other vendors to make sure that everyone was on track so that we could enjoy our day. Jen and Pete listened to our needs and were accessible to us whenever we needed them. Once we saw them in action it was obvious how well they know their business and I can sincerely say that my wife and I believe that the money we spent for Jen and PeteÂ’s services was the best money we spent on our entire wedding. They delivered enormous value.My wife and I recommend PJ Events without any hesitation for your wedding or any other event you may be planning. If you have any questions or would like more detail about my experience, please feel free to contact me about it.

Peter and Jen Isaacs are WONDERFUL. I knew I had to book a DJ way ahead of time since my date was so popular. I met Peter (MC) and Jen (DJ) at my Aunt and Uncle's 25th wedding anniversary (where they did a fabulous job).My entire experience with them was magnificent. They met with my wedding coordinator to make sure that the music was timed perfectly. They were very detailed with making sure that the music was exactly what we wanted. PJ Events was the one vendor that I had complete faith in. I had so much faith in them that I let them choose all the music for our ceremony and our entrance into the reception.

Pete and Jen are awesome! As soon as the wedding was over all our friends and family said we should get married again to repeat the party! I canÂ’t thank them enough for all their help and guidance throughout the planning and for the incredible party on our wedding day. We were having a really hard time finding a DJ and one night over dinner a friend of a friend mentioned that he had just been to a really fun wedding. When we tried getting the contact info for Pete and Jen though, the bride of that wedding wouldnÂ’t pass on the PJ events number directly without first speaking to me. She wanted to personally recommend and gush over how great they were so that I wouldnÂ’t just file away the number. I hope this review serves the same purpose to anyone looking for a DJ or MC. I wholeheartedly recommend PJ Events and specifically Pete and Jen. They were a little bit over our budget but after meeting with them the first time, Yuliya and I drove home and immediately agreed we really liked them. They were goofy, easygoing, funny, and just as important: they knew exactly what they were doing. Every time we met, our meetings ran long because I got excited about what we wanted and then Pete got excited about what we could do to make it happen. They took down all our ideas, and helped us create a timeline and schedule for the evening. As the wedding day got closer they called all our vendors to make sure they were all going be working together. During the wedding Jen DJÂ’d and transitioned effortlessly to other songs when requested by popular demand. And during the wedding, Pete MCÂ’d and got everyone, I mean everyone to dance. We even asked them to stay longer because everyone was still on the dance floor having a great time. It was the best day of our lives and they helped make it possible.Manny & Yuliya

We had Pete and Jenn come out and take care of everything. Pete, the MC, was on top of everything, kept everyone entertained. Jenn played great music, including everything we wanted. They were an excellent team. If I were getting married again, I would definitely use their services.
