As a wedding photographer, I've had the pleasure of working with many DJs and MCs, but Janie Lee Kelley is truly exceptional. She runs a tight ship and keeps the reception events hyped and running smoothly. I always strive to make the most of my clients' time during the reception by minimizing lulls between planned activities so we can get to the dance party sooner. Janie was Johnny-on-the-spot with ensuring the reception events were announced and coordinated efficiently, which made my job so much easier. One of the standout moments was when Janie performed a special song for the group, called the Friendship Dance. Growing up in a musical family and having pursued musical theatre professionally, I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to live performances at weddings. Her buttery smooth and sweet vocal stylings while singing Frank Sinatra absolutely blew me away. It was a magical moment that added a unique touch to the evening. Janie and Nathan kept the dance floor packed all night by playing the couple's favorite songs that perfectly fit the vibe while still being exceedingly danceable. Their ability to read the crowd and keep the energy high was impressive. 10/10 would recommend Janie Lee Kelley DJ & MC for any wedding or event. She truly knows how to create unforgettable moments! --B. Jones Photography, Wedding Photographer read more

Janie Lee Kelley - DJs Near Me

Janie Lee and her husband Nate are AMAZING. If you want a DJ who is organized, communicative, and SUPER TALENTED, look no further because Janie Lee is it!! We attended a friend's wedding where Janie Lee was working and had a blast but what really sold it for us was Janie Lee's fabulous singing! From the beginning of booking her to the end of our reception, she was so easy to work with. She always answered all of our questions quickly and was so prepared with all the chaotic moving parts on the big day. She and Nate are such kind people who really know their craft well. We are so thankful for them and for their help making our wedding so magical! read more

Janie & her husband Nate absolutely killed it at my wedding!!! Love my wife, but her list of requirements for the DJ was slightly on the bridezilla side and they somehow nailed it, I was incredibly relieved and also impressed! They've clearly been doing this for a long time. We gave them a pretty exhaustive list of songs to not play, and then an inspo playlist to work off of and they captured the theme we were trying to go for with very little input from us which is exactly what we needed with how hectic everything was leading up to the wedding. They were also ready with a worksheet of what we wanted for our first dance, father daughter dance, etc which was awesome but we had a rather untraditional wedding so we didn't need to go through it. Anyhow, Janie & Nate are awesome and I can't recommend them enough! Punctual, professional, and super nice people. Also if you need to discreetly make sure that certain people don't get the microphone, they're happy to put their foot down on your behalf (; read more

Janie and her husband were absolutely fantastic, I couldn't recommend them more! I provided them with a timeline and they kept us on schedule by announcing everything. Our wedding would not have gone so smoothly if it weren't for them, with all the chaos that comes with the wedding, Janie and her husband made the day go by flawlessly! Thank you to the both of you! read more

Four the past four years we have had Janie sing and DJ at our New Year's party and each year she has delivered an amazing experience!! This year Nate took it to the next level bringing wireless speakers on all 3 levels of our home. The live music, with Janie's amazing voice, is mesmerizing and the dancing energized by Janie and Nate's song choices was a blast!! read more

We hired Janie for our high school formal. She was incredible! The teens never stopped dancing, and honestly, neither did the chaperones! The songs were an amazing mix of current and fun classic dance songs. I gave her song requests ahead of time, and she played them all!! More than once, someone told me, "it's like she's playing MY playlist!" Friends, putting on a dance for teens is brutal. Figuring out the music is by far the most important and most difficult part. Janie is the solution! read more

We hired Janie for our wedding in Monroe, WA this past August and she was absolutely wonderful! She was so communicative and prepared leading up to our special day and she made us feel so at ease. She even helped steer us in the right direction when we were unsure about a few things. Our venue was outdoors with several different areas across the property, so she went above and beyond to set up 3 different stations around the venue to ensure that we had the best experience where ever we were throughout the night. Our guests loved her and raved about her talent on the mixing table AND her amazing voice! We had her live sing our first dance and it could not have been more special. If you are looking for someone who loves what they do and really cares about your experience, look no further than Janie! read more

I had the pleasure of meeting this wonderful husband and wife DJ team to discuss the music details for my wedding. I found them to be well organized and very professional as well as having just great personalities! Nate and his assistants did a fantastic job at the wedding (Janie had another DJ engagement) and their music selections for the wedding reception dancing were just superb. Everyone enjoyed the songs immensely. I would highly recommend this DJ to anyone looking to hire for their special event. read more

Hands down best DJ ever! Our wedding perfect! Not only did they play exactly what had asked for, they kept the whole day running smoothl! Very organized and super professional along with a lot of fun! Jamie also sang a couple of songs for and her voice was remarkable! If I could rate Amy more stars on the overall rating I would! read more

THE BEST WEDDING DJ!!! We are so grateful for Janie and her husband for creating the best dance floor experience for our wedding day. They did such a great job reading the crowd and picking songs that would keep people engaged. Many of our guests said that this was the best DJ they'd ever seen. Not only were the Dj services above and beyond but she also has a beautiful voice. She sang our first dance live and did us a huge favor in the process. Hire her! You will not be disappointed. read more

We hired Janie to DJ at our holiday party, after another party planner recommended her for our outdoor company picnic 18 months ago. For both, she was great! Janie has a fun personality and was spot on to keep our holiday party on a timeline without the party feeling "structured." Janie was always responsive when we were in the party planning stages, which was so helpful. Planning party and dance music for people from age 25 - 65 could be hard, but all ages got on the dance floor. Thanks, Janie! read more

Janie is AMAZING!!!! Her experience and passion for music shines when she DJs!!! She did our wedding in August of 2020. From start to finish she kept our guests beautifully up-to-speed and involved, our schedule on time with elegant announcements from bouquet toss to the send-off, provided newlywed games, sang a beautiful song (STUNNING VOICE!) and let's not forget she personally walked us through picking each song for all of the special moments throughout our wedding day!!! read more

Janie Lee Kelley - Janie hard at work at our wedding! - DJs Near Me

We really loved having Janie as our wedding DJ! We both love music but we're not that particular about certain songs. With Janie's help, we narrowed down what our important songs were and then we let her have creative freedom on the rest. She did a great job keeping the party going with a mix of our genres (classic oldies rock and modern country). And she definitely took to heart my favorite and not so favorite songs even when they were communicated very last minute. We really appreciated having her as an MC throughout the day to keep people organized and the day flowing smoothly. Then when it came time to dance, the party lights came out and it was a blast! My only complaint was that the songs were so good it was hard to leave the dance floor to socialize with my guests! We highly recommend Janie for you DJ needs! read more

Great DJ! Janie did a great job DJing our wedding. She took the time to understand and collect all the music we preferred throughout the different stages of the wedding. She was very involved, flexible, and gave great suggestions when we were unsure of something. During the open dance portion of our wedding, Janie didn't just go from song to song. Her music was welled mixed and obviously well prepared. She had all the wedding guests dancing for hours! And she was dancing as well! She gave us really great suggestions for wedding games. We highly recommend the shoe game! We would recommend her for any event when a DJ is needed! read more

We hired Janie to DJ our wedding at Cama Beach State Park on Camano Island. We had a clear vision for what we wanted the music to sound like, and sent over a list of songs to play during dinner, and ideas for what to play during cocktail hour and the reception. We appreciated her flexibility at setting up at two different parts of the park for both our ceremony and reception. While Janie was very nice, and the music got people up and dancing all night, we had a few things go wrong on the day of including the music starting 15 minutes late for the ceremony, and the wrong music being played during dinner. We tried our best to be very clear about what we wanted ahead of time, but the plan we laid out didn't exactly go as expected. read more

We are grateful that Janie was able to DJ our wedding! She was absolutely amazing. Throughout the planning process she communicated with us and kept us up to date, listened to our requests; and then at the event she made everything so smooth! Everyone LOVED the music. We are still hearing from our guests how much they loved the dancing. They also loved the shoe game Janie led too -- glad we decided to do it! Janie has such a great announcing voice and that really helped with transitions and moving the event along. We can tell that she is incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to music and we had the best time. She remembered every cut off we had for the first dance and parent dances, and perfectly faded them out. Janie definitely went above and beyond for us! Songs never ran on for too long. This DJ knows how to set things up and use appropriate music whether it is ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner time, or dancing time! She is also open to doing song requests from every generation so each of our family members were pleased. She really connected with the audience. Our wedding would not have been the same without her! read more

We are so thrilled that we found Janie ,the singing DJ, to be part of our wedding. She is packed with talent, professional, on top of her craft, and most of all down to earth. Up until the wedding, she was easy to reach and responded to any questions in a timely manner. This definitely took away a lot of wedding planning stress that we may have had. She was also super accommodating, for example, the night before the wedding, I was able to send her a couple of traditional songs from my culture that could only have been found on YouTube, and without hesitation, she said she can incorporate it, and she did! On the day of our wedding, the music she played was on point. The volume was at the right intensity when it needed to be. What I find most impressive about Janie, though, is that we didn't give her a playlist so that she can just push play, she's a DJ after all. Instead, we gave her what I thought, not enough songs of what we like, and she took it from there and listened to the crowd and played exactly what needed to be played. To end the night, we had her sing a song, yes she can sing! We knew she can sing, but omg, you have to hear her sing live. Janie if you ever have a concert anywhere in the area, we will totally be there! Thank You Janie for being a part of our wedding and making it the best it could've ever turned out! Much Love from the newly weds =) read more

We had Janie DJ our wedding in July. She made the music planning part of my wedding something I actually enjoyed. Wedding planning is stressful but not if you have Janie taking care of your music! She asks all the right questions and gathers all the info she needs for your day. She is someone who takes her job seriously and does it really well. She worked with our venue to make sure we had the music exactly how we wanted it. She also played the music we asked her to and it made the night exactly how we imagined it. It was perfect! She even helped me pick out our first dance song and I love it. She will take good care of you read more
