They are friendly and professional, but most importantly they are honest. I've never felt like they were upselling or upcharging me. I don't mess with electrical, ever since I knocked the power out in a department store as a curious 5 year old (hmm, this clothing pin looks like it fits in this hole in the wall...zap!), but I do ask a lot of questions. I like to understand how things work, and they have always been willing to break it all down for me.

We had a great experience with J-Are Entertainment from start to finish. Couldn't have asked for a…read moremore friendly, professional, and easy-going, reasonably priced DJ to work with. I was initially a little bit worried about our last minute contract but Jr was reliable as well as early and brought the best equipment I've seen in a long time. In all, the music and the DJ were great! I had multiple guests come up to me both during and after the beef and beer to tell me how great the DJ was . I don't think I could have given a 5 star recommendation to any other DJ or company . I will be using him in the future as well as recommending him to anyone in need of a DJ.

He actually mixes, blends, and teases tracks the way a club DJ would on a Friday night. This is why we booked J-ARE as our DJ/MC for our Friday night wedding at Normandy Farms in Blue Bell, PA. He did a phenomenal job! He was professional and courteous while we met for our initial planning ... And, he was easy to correspond all the way up to our special day. J-ARE made sure everything he played was edited to be free of obscenities, as we had a crowd that included children, and seniors. He also played everything on our request list, which included Oldies, Hip Hop, Latin, and Country music. His announcements were all clear and concise. And, he even collaborated with The Matron of Honor to do a surprise Rap toast over an old school 90s instrumental beat! At the end of the night people were coming up to us and asking for his contact information because he had done such a great job. His equipment sounded great, and his mixing was on point. You can definitely tell he loves to make people dance. Don't hesitate to book him for your special event because prices are extremely reasonable. Just make sure your guests wear comfortable shoes, because he'll have them on the dance floor all night! Happy Groom

The job was really challenging and I had two other companies say they could not put in the wall sockets because the exterior walls are the stone of the building.

Like a fool I signed for the $389. Next on the schedule is asking to see the circuit breaker panel, and what a surprise, it needed replacement at $11,000, three times the national average!! Said no to that. Then on the the actual job I called about , fixing a 3 way switch in our hallway. After the 'evaluation' told me it was more difficult and would cost a good bit more to do. (Turned out to be $611) We told him we were not prepared for that and declined to have them do the job. I expected to swallow the $79 service call charge but no, 'they evaluated' and we wouldn't 'let them' do the job so we owed the whole $389. Not prorated as to how much for the eval and how much for the repair. But being an understanding guy he 'gave me a break' and cut it down to merely $329. Then told us more about how we should really replace the circuit breaker panel. Finally they left, we were out $329 and nothing was done. Check out Mark M's review, sound familiar?
