Thierry Jean was a fantastic addition to our wedding experience. I highly recommend him. My husband and I got married at Lomita in Valle de Guadalupe, Baja CA, Mexico. (Amazing venue may I add.) From our first conversation with Thierry, to the day after our wedding when he was able to take down his equipment, our time with him was always positive. He is very professional. He has been DJing events for quite some time, so he knows the ropes. He has a thorough contract that protects the client and himself. He is very thorough. He drove down to Baja multiple times to tour the venue and meet with the necessary people. We had multiple phone calls with him to go over our wedding timeline, to get the details down, and to talk over music. He is proficient in Spanish! A huge help when communicating with local vendors and wedding coordinators. He also took it upon himself to speak with our other vendors when he had questions or needed to verify something, which was a huge help. He is attentive. He listened to our wants, hopes, and ideas. If he doesn't think something will work, or has a better suggestion, he will let you know, and it is appreciated. After all, he is the professional. He has a lot of equipment, and if he doesn't own it, he will rent it. We got married in the middle of the vineyard, and he was able to accommodate. He is knowledgeable. He knows his music, because he loves music! It's truly one of his passions! We wanted a party, with the dance floor packed nonstop, and that is what we got! (Our fun guests didn't hurt either.) We provided him with a list of songs for dinner hour, and for the dance party, and while he definitely included our picks, he had some greats ones that blended well. He goes along with the vibe of the event. It was in Mexico, so obviously you need some Mexican songs, with a congo line and all. Our wedding was a blast, and I know for a fact Thierry Jean greatly contributed. If you hire him, you won't regret it! read more

As soon as I knew I was getting married, I knew I had to reach out to Thierry to DJ and he responded immediately. I've worked with him in the past & knew he would be perfect. We set up an in person meeting so that my fiancé could meet him & all hit it off straight away. He was very responsive & took his time with us as we developed our set list. As we got closer to the date, he was so flexible as we changed our minds several times. Pretty close to the wedding we decided to dance down the aisle & he didn't even flinch at changing the set up & extending his contract for the day. Great guy & fantastic DJ. Would definitely recommend him to anyone & everyone! Thanks Thierry read more

Our company recently used this company for an event - will definitely use again. What we loved: ~ Extreme professionalism - communication before our event was excellent ~ Team Player - we had tons of performers and the DJ made sure everybody was equipped, went above and beyond to make their sound and songs sharp ~ Cared - they wanted the best product / experience and gave great suggestions. ~ Equipment - amazing speakers, micro phones and portable colorful lights. read more

Thierry and Mike at HiFi5 are the real deal! My wife and I were having a hard time finding a wedding DJ that matched our musical tastes. Glad we found these guys. They are not your average corny wanna-be wedding DJ. These guys have been DJ'ing weddings, bars, clubs and other events for the last 10+ years. They have the top 40 hits, & wedding classic songs as well, but most importantly they have deep music collections of high-quality tunes to keep people of all ages rocking all night! I can't say enough about these guys. They have high quality equipment that sounds great, and they know how to read the crowd and get people dancing! They are often in high demand, so book early. I'm stoked that we hired HiFi5; a DJ can really make or break a wedding and they did a great job. Even the old people were on the dance floor til the end! read more

Thierry is spot on, sets the mood, upbeat and he's able to cross generational barriers with his music selection from jazz classics to current pop songs. Professional,dedicated, friendly and happy to take requests, Thierry gave it up at my son's wedding and made a fan out of me. Call HiFi to set up your event! read more

My husband and I got married last week on 06.19.15, and we booked HiFi5 Entertainment as our DJ! DJ Thierry Jean, was such an amazing DJ! He made sure that our every need and request was met from dance floor lighting, to up lighting, song selections, and M.C.ing! My husband and I still find ourselves reminiscing about our wedding day, especially when it was time to hit the dance floor! Might I add, our dance floor was ALWAYS full of people! Bottom line, DJ Thierry Jean was a BIG HIT at our wedding, and we are so glad that we booked him! I would recommend this DJing company to anyone who wants their parties or occasions to be super fun! Thank you so much for an unforgettable wedding reception! You rock DJ Thierry Jean! read more

ThierryJean gets an A++++ on all levels. I've seen him spin on multiple occasions in San Diego, the most recent was a party on New Years Eve. The crowds are always pumped and dancing. Thierry knows how to read the crowd and plays music that ranges from electro-funk to world music to current and 90s favorites. Being a musical mastermind, Thierry knows his music and knows what's hot. HiFi5 Entertainment has top notch music equipment, always excellent sound quality; I have yet to see Thierry disappoint. Thierry's got a unique style that sets him apart from all those cheeseball DJs around, he has a great personality, he's approachable and fun. Guess who DJed my wedding? THIERRYJEAN. Two family members sang special songs for us and he helped them set up their music and get the sound just right. It was an extremely special occasion and Thierry helped make it so. Thank you ThierryJean, we love you!! read more

After reading these wonderful reviews, I felt certain that Thierry would impress me. Weddings aren't cheap, so I did a lot myself to save money, but I'd been told not to go cheap on a DJ/MC because they can make or break your event. As a DJ, Thierry was wonderful! As an MC, well, I did not have one... Negatives: 1. The mic(s) during our ceremony did NOT work. - Over half of our guests flew in from out of state spending so much time and money to be there with us on this special day, yet they didn't get to hear any of the ceremony/vows. Typing this makes me want to cry and breaks my heart as everyone was disappointed. Guests who arrived much earlier than the ceremony time approached me later saying he never once stood under the arch and spoke into the mics. 2. Thierry told me he does minimal talking/ MCing which is great because I don't like a cheesy MC. Unfortunately, he didn't follow the timeline, and I had to personally remind him when to do announcements such as the toasts and cake cutting, both of which were announced late. My friend who helped me set up the reception had to interrupt me during photos to ask me questions Thierry had about the grand entrance... I sent him a VERY thorough email and called him the night before to clarify any questions he had. 3. He did not introduce himself to any of the wedding party or my officiant who was vital in deciding when to start the ceremony. I filled out a questionnaire he provided me with lots of details regarding names and relationships which ended up being a waste of my time. Also, he announced the father/ daughter dance while my dad was taking a leak :/ 4. Not very personable or friendly the day of. He said congrats real quick and then asked if I could move the dessert table for him... not the caterers, but me. He seemed irritated because my dessert table was too close to his DJ table, but when I asked the caterers if they could move it some, they said no since it was already set up with the desserts and cake. So, that was all he discussed with me the day of the event. Positives: 1.His assistant was really nice! 2. He followed all of my music selections and had them set up for the appropriate events such as garter toss and cake cutting. I also encouraged him to take guest requests and go with the flow which he did wonderfully! Although the vows were a huge let down, he redeemed himself with my guests at the reception. 3. My husband was upset about the mics, so he wrote Thierry an email. Thierry's response was very professional, and quite frankly, he didn't even have to respond, so that was cool. 4. He has a lengthy contract which he did not break. He is not responsible for the mic issues which is my fault for signing it, and he did show up on time! He also has back up in case he isn't able to show at an event. Although I had fun at my wedding, I would have had more if I hadn't been so focused on time and timelines. I needed somebody to keep track of that for me and not ask me questions the day of the event. I needed somebody who could take initiative. With the money I spent as well as the time I took meeting with, emailing, texting, and calling Thierry, I can't say it was worth it for me. If you need an excellent DJ and you can afford a wedding planner to keep track of the announcements, then it's worth it. read more

DJ Thierry Jean made my wedding unforgettable. The music was awesome! We literally had people dancing the entire time (even during dinner). Wedding planning can be stressful - Thierry was friendly, easy to work with and professional. He offered great insight into song choices for our first dance, announcing the wedding party, cake cutting etc., as well as, really listened to what type of music we like and what type of wedding reception we were going for. He also MC'ed the course of events and hosted a bride/groom trivia to determine which table could go get their food at the buffet. Our friends and family are pretty wild and fun loving so keeping their attention was no easy feat. I had several friends ask for his contact information after our party. They enjoyed the music so much they wanted to use him for their own event. read more

TheoryJean went way above our expectations. He was recommended to us by a friend and he absolutely nailed it! He created a special set for a yoga class we taught and stayed to spin tunes for our Grand Opening party. He is easy to deal with, fun to hang out with and made the whole evening perfect. Without him, I think our event would have been a bit of a flop! Everyone kept saying "oh the music is so good!" I highly recommend Thierry for any event that you want people to dance and have a really good time. read more

Thierry Jean (HiFi5 entertainment) was definitely the best DJ / entertainer I've ever hired. It's not just about the music he played, it was the tone and the sound of his equipment that really got us all going. I hired him for our company holiday party and he blew us all away with his sound system. I would highly recommend him for any event you throw (wedding/anniversaries/holiday parties etc). His sound systems is superior to any other DJs' I've hired and they definitely exceed industry standards. There wasn't a minute that went by where people weren't dancing! Very friendly, punctual, professional, and entertaining DJ! A++ read more

DJ ThierryJean is AMAZING. My wife and I recently had our wedding in San Diego and hiring HiFi5 Entertainment was the best decision we made! We wanted to hire someone that was able to bring great sound quality, lighting set up, and video projection. DJ ThierryJean handled everything. Beginning with the lighting, he was able to set up amazing market lights that created an intimate setting for our reception area. He had "up lighting" set up around the dinner area for great background lighting. He also helped us compile a video for our wedding so that our guests could watch during the dessert hour. The musics was also phenomenal! We provided DJ ThierryJean with our music choices and he was able to read the crowd and played the right songs at the right times. He really understands how to compose and organize the lights, video and music for weddings so that our guests could have a great experience and celebrate this day with us. As an MC he was able to get the crowd going and brought great humor during the toasts and announcements. DJ ThierryJean was always available to chat with us about our wedding planning and worked with us every step of the way. He came out to our wedding site prior to the wedding and he helped in-vision how we needed to set everything. I do not have a single complaint about him and HiFi5 Entertainment. Hiring him was worth every penny for our special day! I will definitely be recommending him to my friends and colleagues for their weddings. read more

Kevin followed my warm encouragements to ask Thierry to be our DJ for his wedding with Kelsey. Thierry is a family friend from his baby days, one of the most kind hearted people I know. Thierry was absolutely phenomenal that night - I knew he would be but he really surprised us beyond belief - and he made this day even more special to all of us. He kept the party on its toes all night. He was courteous, professional, organized, entertaining, warm hearted, patient with old ones and little ones alike, he could read the audience and feel the room. I do not know how one can do a better job than that, he can do it all. His music and spirit entertained our entire crowd, all night, despite quite a wide range of cultures, ages, tastes and backgrounds in that party. Everyone was on the dance floor! No one could resist! It was a hit. HiFi5 Entertainment is THE BEST. I would recommend Thierry without a second of hesitation to any of my friends and colleagues for a great party. read more

From the moment we got in contact with Thierry, we received the best correspondence of any vendor we had for our wedding. He immediately was able to set up an in-person meeting to get a feel for us as people and what we wanted for our wedding. We didn't have a planner or anything, but he helped us greatly with suggestions. We felt comfortable with his knowledge of music and ability to read the attendees and make adjustments. We could tell he's doing it because he enjoys it, not just to make money. He was set up and ready to go well before the ceremony and played through the cocktail hour and reception. He was incredibly professional and made the experience stress free. He took requests from the attendees and made everyone feel included. We were worried about people not wanting to dance just because we kept the wedding small and we had a lot of different cultures/backgrounds in attendance. Before the wedding, he gave us a questionnaire to list the genres and specific songs we wanted played. He was able to mix it all in smoothly and kept the dance floor full and energized all night. If you're looking for an experienced DJ for your wedding to make sure it's a party and your guests have fun, I STRONGLY recommend Thierry. read more

I've seen Thierry perform at many places and I knew I wanted him at my wedding when I got married a few years ago. My cousin who is getting married in October of this year was looking for a DJ in Los Angeles and came across HiFi5 Entertainment. She remembered Thierry from our wedding and, upon my urging, immediately called him. Once I saw he was on Yelp, I had to give him a review. This guy is really something else. I've attended many weddings myself, and none of the DJs I have seen come close to what Thierry does. I'm a music enthusiast, and though not all of my friends and family are, he knew exactly what to play to please everyone. Enough of the popular music for the majority of the crowd while throwing in some of my personal favorites that we had discussed. And he REALLY knows his stuff. The way he mixes and creates energy for the crowd to vibe off of, you get the feeling of a live DJ, and not just a jukebox. He's not your typical Chicken Dance, YMCA guy. This guy really knows music and how to read the collective energy of a crowd and take them on a journey. Everyone was dancing, the ENTIRE time, thanks to Thierry. You can tell he is passionate about what he does and always has a positive attitude. He's a great entertainer, very fun guy, and a true professional. I can recommend him with my eyes closed. read more

I found Thierry online whilst looking for a DJ for our wedding, taking place just south of the border in Baja. We very quickly clicked with our musical history, both living through the French house revolution and more recently through other dance music DJs and producers/labels - he really knows his music. Thierry consistently followed up with our discussions on logistics of playing within Mexico, being amazingly flexible to working within constraints of our particular wedding. It was a pleasure to work with him given the feeling of walking through honey with some of the other wedding vendors we experienced. We've ended up opting for a live latin band for the wedding, but I have absolute no doubt that Thierry would have been incredible based on his obvious musical knowledge/taste, flexibility and reliability. A true professional. I look forward to bumping into him in the San Diego musical scene! read more

Thierry has been the best DJ we could have expected for our wedding. A friend of ours had Thierry Dj'ing her wedding and she was so thrilled with him that she recommended him for our wedding. Then from our first contacts with Thierry months before our wedding, we had a great feeling, he was really paying attention to what type of songs and music style we liked and wanted, and also gave us some input on what will be good or not based on his experience. He helped us creating a song list for each part of the wedding: before ceremony, ceremony itself (processional for wedding party, then for bride), recessional. music for cocktail hour, grand entrance, dinner, and of course dancing... he was paying attention that everything would be ready for the day of. He had also very good quality equipment, made sure the speakers would give the perfect sound to our room, and he even took the time to walk the venue with us few months before the wedding, to get the best feeling of the space, what was needed, where he would plug everything... Therefore, Thierry is a TRUE professional, booking him is a guarantee that everything will run without mistake. We are still amazed at how he managed to be on top of all our wedding events, from the ceremony to the dance party late late night, going through plugging equipment from a band to his own equipment for a song during the reception... he did such an amazing job, and really read the crowd the entire night to have an amazing dance night! thanks a lot Thierry, if our wedding has been such a success, it's in part because you have been doing an excellent job from A to Z. We will never forget that and we recommend any couple who wants a great DJ for their wedding to go with HiFi5 Entertainment!!! Daniel & Maryam read more

My wife and I contacted HiFi5 Entertainment just weeks before our wedding and we are so glad that we did. DJ Thierry Jean was in contact with us from start to finish. He was always available to talk to and was extremely responsive. He wanted to make sure that our wedding day went perfect, and discussed everything in detail with us to make sure things ran smoothly. He also provided the lighting for our venue which made a huge difference in decor. He thought of things that we didn't think of, like setting us up with microphones and having a recessional song. Thierry also set up a projector screen with a slideshow on it. During the wedding DJ Thierry Jean had everybody on the dance floor from kids to grandparents. He was an amazing MC, his music selection was exactly what we wanted and we wouldn't be happier with the quality of service he provided. He is a true professional and I highly recommend him. read more

The one piece of advice I give couples planning thier wedding day is this: "The DJ can make or break your wedding. Choose wisely." Thierry DJed our wedding and the two things that stood out to us were that he was extremely professional and he *nailed* our music preferences. Thierry is not the type of DJ who is going to push play on an iPad filled with generic tunes. He contacted us months in advance of our wedding date to meet with us in-person to go over our schedule, location details, equipment requirements and requests, our prelude music, our processional and recessional music, cocktail hour music, dinner music, party music, first dance, bouqet and garter toss etc. He gets every "i" dotted and every "t" crossed before he shows up to your big day. We really appreciated that. He is so experienced that he knew questions to ask that we didn't know we needed to answer. When the night came, every single song was played at the exact right time. He was also able to navigate some of our super vague instructions like, "Just play some downtempo latin jazz kinda stuff during cocktail hour." Then, boom, cocktail hour music was amazing- even better than if we had handpicked the songs ourselves. His knowledge of music is wide and deep. He was just about the only vendor who actually decreased our anxiety- we just knew that he knew exactly what to do. I think some folks overlook that often your DJ will also be your MC for the night- which is kind of a big, important job. It's also one of those things where it's either really good and flows nicely with the party or terrible and everyone notices. Thierry MCs with expert finesse. He can feel the vibe of a room while taking subtle cues from a coordinator to call out instructions to a group of 100+ guests that sound and feel natural. Thierry is also patient. We threw some last minute requests his way, changed some songs, added some songs, etc. and he took everything in stride. He never made us feel like we were being the pain I'm sure we were being. I can't recommend Thierry highly enough. I have recommended him to everyone I know who is getting married. I would be proud to give that recommendation to my closest friends because I know that Thierry will take stewardship of their event and make it everything they want it to be. Thierry- thank you again. You helped make our day special and we are grateful. J&D read more

I had the good fortune to have Jean Thierry DJ for my 60th birthday party in July , 2014. He was prompt for our appointment, professional in the evaluation and questions asked and passionate about making my event perfect. I travel for work and the party was 6 days after returning from overseas. JT arranged for extra tables and chairs, a dance floor and everything was organized and arranged as needed. The party had both inside and outside venues and the speaker set up was great. We started with light jazz and transitioned to only dance music - as requested - after dinner and drinks. My fiancée and I announced our engagement that evening. For the last song JT had saved "you take my breath away " by Tuck and Patti. Dancing with my fiancée to that song will be something we recall the rest of our lives. It was perfect. When we select our wedding date JT will be the first vendor we contact - after the officiant ! Oh and did I mention he DJ'd for another two hours? I can recommend JT without reservation - so make your reservation asap ! Adriane and Ellen read more
