Jay Frank at Crestline is an excellent DJ; he was recommended by our photographer. We shopped around and found him to be the most professional and found that we were most confident with his services for our May 2011 wedding. Jay was the only DJ to actually demonstrate his equipment and play some sample music, as well as demonstrate the lighting and other special effects that would be used at our wedding reception so that we would have a first hand account of what we would be getting. He also taught us the difference between what a good and bad DJ is to help make an educated decision. Jay showed some videos that weren't embellished to demonstrate his work at an actual reception, as well as seeing some handwritten testimonials with some genuine feedback and stories. Jay has a friendly demeanor to compliment his professionalism and after meeting with him you could definitely tell that he is passionate about his work and that he loves music, as well as having a strong desire to provide great customer service with an acute awareness that for a day of great magnitude and joy like a wedding, requires a a strong and reliable performance. My wife felt at ease with choosing Jay and we could confidently check off one of the big bullet points for planning the wedding, which as all brides know, getting peace of mind and confidence in vendors is important so energy can go towards the rest of the planning process. Jay was always easy to reach by email or phone and he follows up and checks in to make sure that everything is going smoothly. He also has a projector, laptop, screen, DVD player setup for sideshows that we used with good results. Crestline also provides a website to plan your reception schedule and music selection, which in turn helps you plan your overall reception. Jay was flexible with last minute changes and was attentive to our needs and concerns before and during the reception. Jay was there early as discussed to setup and test equipment and looked professional both in execution and attire. The music sounded great and he will be as interactive with your guests per your discretion; our guests were dancing all night and he made it a night to remember; he will even go out on the dance floor to lead things like electric slide if need be. Having a great DJ for your reception is key, he was our master of ceremonies and coordinator (microphones for speeches, music for dinner, entrance music, etc) and is a huge component of the entertainment of the night, Jay did all of this admirably. Jay at Crestline lives up to his reputation and other positive reviews we read before making the final decision. I would highly recommend Crestline Entertainment for DJ services to friends and family and would use his services again should the occasion arise. read more

Simply put, Jay is awesome. We started wedding planning far before our date. We contacted Jay about DJ services after meeting him at our venue's open house. He offered to meet us at a coffee shop near our apartment in the city to talk about Crestline's services. His presentation impressed us: He showed videos of how he and his other DJs handle a reception, he showed us how he DJs receptions based on how much DJ involvement is necessary to get the party going, he walked us through the song request system, and he discussed how the flow of the day would go based on the venue (with which he was familiar) and our needs for the night. His contact throughout the process was always prompt, cordial, and helpful, leading right up to the day before the wedding. The day of the wedding, he was set up even before the wedding party arrived at the venue, and the sound equipment was dead on for the trio we had playing during the ceremony. During the cocktail hour he was able to transfer his setup to the reception area on time and without intrusion, but was always nonetheless available if we had a question the night of. The thing that impressed us the most was how he made the reception personalized as he went. Our wedding guests came from the South, the Northeast, and Chicago, a fact that Jay wouldn't have known until the groom's godfather's speech at the end of the cocktail hour. Despite being busy in finishing his setup, Jay was attentive enough to hear this and later in the night addressed everyone's home with different songs for them. This was a little touch that the guests loved and really, really, impressed us as clients. In short, Jay is the consummate professional, and Crestline is the first thing we will recommend whenever friends say they are getting married. read more

OMGosh was DJay Frank awesome!!!!!! He, by far, was one of our MOST FAVORITE vendors!!!! His wedding web site was very user friendly and allowed us the opportunity to choose our songs and stay organized! His professionalism and expertise blew us away! From his prompt communication to his incredible attention to details, he ensured that our dance floor was always packed!!! We provided him with a list of songs that our guests requested ahead of time and, with his suggestion, also made sure he had enough extra time to use his discretion of what to play based on the dance floor! We trusted him completely and he did not let us down. Looking at the pictures now, everyone was smiling and shaking their booties to the awesome tunes. A sign of a fabulous DJ is how well he keeps people dancing, and Jay made sure that happened by keeping the genres together and basing when to play certain requests at the right time. Everyone loved Jay!! He is very flexible and willing to work with whatever special requests we threw his way! We were 1000% satisfied with the service Crestline Entertainment (namely Jay Frank) provided and would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who wants a dance floor filled with dancers!!!! Thanks so much, Jay! It was a blast!!!!!! read more

Jay Frank was our DJ at our Nov 5 wedding & he was fantastic! We were impressed right from the start- after filling out an online questionnaire to get pricing, Jay personally emailed us to let us know that due to the type of wedding we were having, he thought perhaps the pricing that resulted was too high & wanted to discuss things further. From our 1st conversation Jay's professionalism & dedication to his craft were evident. Jay was open to our ideas about our non-traditional wedding, while offering guidance & suggestions from his many years of experience. That took so much stress off of us! The night of the wedding, he was at the venue early & did alot to coordinate with our other vendors, & communicated with us, ensuring an evening that flowed seamlessly. The songs he played were awesome- honoring both our 'listed' songs & guest requests, & people were dancing all night! Sooo many of our guests said ours was the best wedding they'd ever been to!! (For reference, we are in our early 40s so most of our guests have attended lots of weddings) Thank you, thank you, Jay!!! read more

Jay was our DJ for our wedding on October 29th, 2011. Jay was an incredible DJ to work with and gave us the most spectacular wedding. He went above and beyond his role of DJ to ensure that we had everything we wanted and that everything was exactly what we had expected. Jay even came to our house during the week before our wedding to pick up our iPod so that he could play the playlist we had created for the cocktail hour and dinner. Jay did an incredible job playing music for the ceremony and did an even more incredible job during the reception. Our guests all commented that they had more fun at our wedding than they did at any other wedding they had attended and this is mostly due to Jay and his work. He was incredibly kind and welcoming to all of our guests. He created a wonderful atmosphere full of joy and celebration. What Jay did was worth so very much and yet he charged a VERY reasonable price compared to other DJs that we looked into. We felt very fortunate to have found him and are so thankful for what he did for us at our wedding. He is a true gift. read more

We hired Jay at Crestline to do our wedding on 6/14/14 and we were extremely satisfied with the service we received. Lets face it, a DJ is a big part of you wedding, he does the introductions, interacts with guests, plays music to get people to dance (or not). Jay was phenomenal. The guy showed up in a suit and tie, totally professional! This is not some fly by night operation, this is a solid, legitimate, professional company, ran by Jay, who again was amazing. Crestline was instrumental in making our wedding day extra special. I would recommend Crestline for your wedding, or any event you may have. I've been to numerous weddings, and am now married myself, and a good rule of thumb is "bad DJ, bad wedding." Don't hire a bad DJ, do yourself a favor, and call Crestline today. You won't regret it. With Crestline you are getting more than "just a DJ." You are getting a professional and organized entertainment professional, plain and simple. read more

Jay was our DJ and his assistant was Jeff. I can say with all honesty we had a great time with them. They were funny and helped really keep the night flowing. Not only did they make our day special and easy, but they also made the time leading up to the event easy. Jay called me immediately after I put in an information request. He worked with me on the price since we are just starting out and paid for our wedding ourselves. I can say I would be happy to recommend them to anyone. I know there are many brides that do not necessarily like an interactive DJ, but Jay and Jeff were instrumental in having a fun night for us. They played popular songs and they really set the mood. I asked them to be highly interactive and we had a great time. I can also say that they have great discounts and are totally willing to work with you if you just give them a chance and speak with them, you won't be sorry. Thanks so much Jay and Jeff! We had a wonderful evening! read more

DJ Dan knows just the right way to play the music and keep the dance floor full without the cheesy DJ personality. Dan deejayed our wedding and we heard nothing but compliments about the great music he played. He was very attentive, professional, and looked proper for the occasion. He not only told us when he had to leave the room but made sure we approved all the guest requests. Dan is the choice for any occasion when you want a professional and not all the over the top interaction. Not to mention the lighting set up was just right. Crestline not only made the online song list and planning easy to use but offered us remote location speakers, standing and clip on mics for speeches, and continuous communication throughout the process. We hands down recommend Crestline (Dan) for any DJ need you may have. Thank you Dan for being an essential part of our wedding day. read more

DJ Jay did it again! He has been our families Go-To-DJ for years, as always goes above and beyond while keeping the dance floor moving all night. Many thanks for Jay for customizing our playlist and working with the crowd to gauge what song type to play next. Our ceremony was on site, so Jay came early for reception setup to be sure to be out of the way, and had guests of all ages enjoying his song selection. As soon as my now husband and I got engaged, it was wonderful to check off 'DJ' as the first vendor off our list, as it was a no-brainer to bring him back after he did such an excellent job at both my sisters weddings in the past. We also got a wonderful surprise email with a link to our wedding playlist a month after our big day. We look forward to listening to our night on repeat for the years to come. Thank you! 110% recommend! read more

This is a company that knows what they're doing. I was skeptical about DJs... They are all really expensive and what's the real difference anyways? I am so glad we decided to go with Crestline for our wedding January 12, 2013. We consulted with Jay but decided to hire Dan (The cost difference was the determining factor - Jay was more expensive). I don't regret that decision at all. Dan was extremely professional and friendly. He understood our requests perfectly (I hate rap/techno music and love oldies). We also knew that by the end of the night our guests would want more dance music so Dan changed it up. He played a few songs that I don't know all that well but that my guests who were dancing absolutely LOVED. I really appreciate all they did for making our reception fun and keeping the guests entertained. Fabulous job! read more

I will say this in as little words as I can: DJ Jay at Crestline was the absolute BEST DJ my wife and I could have ever asked for! From the very beginning, Jay was the most inclusive, understanding person to work with. He made the entire process extremely easy for us, and worked with us in collaboration the entire way to design the wedding and reception music of our dreams. The best part? Jay was not restrictive AT ALL on what music we could or couldn't play, and let us design the music playlist ourselves on Crestline's personalized online portal, giving us the reception music we always hoped for. Every guest I spoke to that night commented on how professional and fun our DJ was. If you're planning your wedding and want a perfect, easy music experience, please do yourself a favor and go to Crestline and ask for Jay! read more

Hello...Jay was the DJ at our Wedding this past Saturday, July 6tth/13 and we had a great experience and would highly recomend him. His pre-wedding song lists make song choosing easy and he is always available to talk through any questions or last minute changes that inevitably come up. He is Professional and interacted with the event management team and all our Guest perfectly. As someone else noted, he was not afraid to politely speak up if he thought there might be a better song, or song placement that what we had come up with and he was right on with his decisions. We had a wide range of age and tastes and EVERYONE danced at one time or another to a variety of music and artists while still staying with our overall theme. Please give Jay and Crestline a chance as they are affordable and professional. read more

I can't recommend Crestline Entertainment enough. I can't believe how many positive comments we got about the music at our wedding! We had a full dance floor until the end of the night. If you are looking for a high quality DJ at a reasonable price then check these guys out. We paid a little extra money to get Jay Frank and it was worth every penny. He is really good at what he does. Everything was really easy to set up and there is an online form to make all of your pre wedding requests. He also was very courteous and he found ways of getting our approval for certain requests without ever being bothersome. I've heard so many nightmares of terrible DJ's and I was really nervous but this guy and his company exceeded all of our expectations! read more

Jay did an all-around outstanding job for our wedding reception! In the months leading up to the wedding, he promptly answered all of our questions via email, and was the only vendor who always answered his phone - we never even had to leave a voicemail. At the reception, he played all of our favorites, blended the songs together perfectly, and was involved a bit when needed, but otherwise stayed in the background as he kept the dance floor packed the entire evening! Jay is professional and experienced, and his flexibility, attention to detail, and organization ensured that our reception would go smoothly. Our guests keep telling us how much they enjoyed dancing at our reception! read more

We couldn't have been happier with DJ Jay/Crestline. We went with him because he would let us choose as much or little of the music as we wanted, he was price competitive, and he had experience at our venue. Jay has a comprehensive planning form and he calls the week of to ensure he is 100% prepared to pronounce names correctly, etc. On our day, he showed up well in advance for setup, and he did a great job reading the room all night, communicating with us, and keeping the dance floor full. Jay is also just genuinely kind and a pleasure to deal with. Thanks! Eric & Anne read more

DJ Jay was perfect for our wedding. He gives you complete freedom over the music you want to hear for your special day and even lets you decide how much mc-ing you would like him to do. Not only did he actively seek out music that was not in his collection for us but he seamlessly streamed it together with more "classic" wedding music to keep our dance floor active the entire night, despite our having a rather small group. My wife and I highly recommend him for his cooperation as well as obvious experience when it comes to providing music for weddings. read more

DJ Jay was as thorough and veteran as they come. His pre-planning and proactive communication with all moving parts of our wedding was amazing. He, behind the scenes saved us many headaches and we had that much more respect for him after a medical issue occurred with one of our guest and he was calm and relayed great advice for what to do in that situation. If you're looking for a great DJ who knows how to keep the dance floor going and can read the room with the best of them then DJ Jay is your guy. Thank you DJ Jay and all the best in future weddings. read more

Jay was amazing! I loved the preparation he did to make sure the night went perfectly. I absolutely loved the online planning forms. It was organized and had important questions that all DJs should ask. Jay was fun and had our guests on the dance floor until the very end! Everyone loved the songs he played and he also did so well playing the Greek music I had picked for our traditional Greek dancing. I would recommend Jay & Crestline Entertainment to everyone! Thank you so much Jay for a great night of dancing and fun! Paula :-) read more

Crestline Entertainment was extremely professional and great to work with. The communication with them was quick and helpful. Jay met with us the week of our wedding to finalize details and go over our online DJ planner with us. We have received many compliments from guests at our wedding about how great the music was. Our dance floor was crowded all night and Jay did a great job keeping our guests dancing. We highly recommend Crestline Entertainment for any wedding or party. read more
