Super happy with Jamie and his crew! I hired him for our company holiday party, and he was fantastic. I love that he provides a combination of services; in our case, he offered a photo booth and karaoke in addition to DJ'ing throughout the duration of the event. He gave us a great rate and I was extremely glad that I chose to hire them.... he and his co-worker were professional, arrived on time, and had a great assortment of music, photo booth props, etc. Our group of 150 people had a blast at the party! I would not hesitate to hire him again. Thanks Jamie! :) read more

How amazing was my 75th Birthday Party? It was simply "stupendous!" Actually, I could use all the words that the Thesaurus gives you for such adjectives and then it would be well described. Jamie and Jeff were both outstanding with the way they handled my party. Both so patient and so willing to go the 'extra mile' to be sure my party was a huge success and that every single guest has a wonderful and memorable time. I know I sure did. I would hire them again, in a millisecond. read more

We hired Jamie to operate the photo booth for our company holiday party. He was very responsive and super easy to work with! He helped us create a custom logo to feature on the prints which our employees loved. The day of the event, he quickly and easily set everything up and was taking photos right away! He was very encouraging and helpful when it came to the photos. He suggested poses, props and made even the shy folks feel comfortable. All of the photos turned out beautifully! After the event, he sent over our photos in a very timely matter. We would definitely use Jamie for our photo booth rental again! read more

This testimonial is a bit overdue, but better late than never. I feel as though people searching for the right person to hire as a DJ really ought to hear about the skills of Jamie Larson, proprietor of Jazcat Mobile. I'm pretty sure Jazcat is a one man operation, although I think he has other people that also work with him on bigger events or if an array of services are needed (photo booth, bartender, videography, etc). We had not yet met when we both found ourselves in the Florida Keys to attend a close mutual friend's destination wedding for a whole week (I'm in LA). Our friend didn't even ask that he provide music for the wedding, but Jamie insisted. He actually went to the trouble of bringing a bunch of gear (whatever he could fit on the plane) all that way because he wanted to help make the experience memorable for Amie & Ryan. The beach wedding and reception were totally successful events, and about 40 of us rocked out all week poolside and had several epic karaoke jams. As a musician, I can say with confidence that his knowledge of different styles and decades of music is very broad, and he has great taste that only the finest disc jockeys possess. I was really impressed with his ability to match up much of the music to the Hawaiian luau island theme and feel of the sorroundings. He kept all ages happy and dancing, which is an acquired skill. He was fun, interactive, and professional throughout the week. And he accomplished all of this while relaxing on vacation at the same time. If he can do that after traveling over 3,000 miles, I can just imagine there are also positive results when he works closer to home. When you factor in that he loves what he does, it seems like he is truly doing what he was born to do. If music isn't that important to you, you could probably be satisfied getting anyone to DJ for you. But if you are having an important event of any type that needs music done right, I suggest you hire Jazcat Mobile Entertainment. read more

Jamie did a wedding reception I was planning for a good friend. I was very impressed by how prepared he was for planning the event. We worked together before the event to make sure we were both on the same page with music, time-lines during the event, etc. He also took the time to learn scripts for announcements and remembered the names of the wedding party and important attendees. No only did he play absolutely fantastic music that kept the crowd dancing the ENTIRE time, but he also offered to stay longer to keep the party going. So nice!! Also, Jamie is really flexible during the event, there were many times we had to make announcements, or change some sort of aspect, and he was never confused - in fact he took all the stress out of the changes. We couldn't ask for a better DJ. Thanks Jamie!!! read more

I had been to a few weddings and the main thing that was constantly lacking was a good DJ. When my wife to be and I starting planning a wedding we agreed a good DJ was necessary. We found Jamie and he met with us soon after. He put us at ease right away assuring us it was our day and he knew what he was doing. Boy was he right. He was involved during the planning process making sure the correct songs would be played at the appropriate time as well as music we did and did not want during the dancing portion. On the actual day he was unbelievably good. Punctual, professional and fun. Great MC, great DJ. We could not have asked for more. He really has mastered his craft. Do yourself a favor and if you need a DJ hire Jamie you will not be disappointed. read more

Jazcat did a terrific job at our employee party, bringing everything required for a great photo booth set-up, with fun and creative props. It was non-stop for our group, from karaoke and dancing to photo posing, and they had a blast. They were on time, professional, and wonderful to work with. Plus they provided the photos afterwards. Highly recommend!! read more

Hosting my daughter's sweet 16, i was very nervous that i wanted everything to go very perfect and i am so very glad that i hired Jamie and his team for DJ and photo booth. He was super fun, very easy to work with, hassle free and very communicative over texts. I would highly recommend him and if Yelp allowed me, I would give him a 5+ star rating. Once again, Great job Jamie and team. read more

I hired Jamie for my showroom grand opening party and him and Adam were amazing. Everyone loved the photo booth and the music selection was perfect. Their set up and take down was quick and easy and they were great to work with. I will definitely be hiring Jazcat for my next event without a doubt. read more

This passed weekend my sister got married and her DJ was nowhere to be found. Jamie was recommended by a friend so we gave him a call LESS THAN 24 HOURS BEFORE THE WEDDING. He was more than willing to help us out and we truly wish we would have gone with him from the beginning and we will next time. He completely saved the day! He did a FANTASTIC job. His enthusiasm when he introduced the wedding party and the bride and groom was awesome. Along with the rest of the night. Jamie is awesome! I HIGHLY recommend him!!! read more

Our Photobooth was a hug hit at our 50th high school reunion. The props were fun and plentiful. Jamie was great to work with. He designed a postcard image that reflected our school, with our mascot, etc. All the classmates loved grabbing their friends and taking silly and playful photos. Jamie printed out extra copies for all the people in the photo and he stayed overtime to accommodate our large group. Thank you Jamie! read more

I hired Jamie to play at my boyfriend's surprise 30th birthday party. Let me say right away that Jamie was great! Before the event, working with Jamie was easy and effortless. We met once in person and communicated the rest of the time via e-mail. I felt he really tried to get a feel of the type of person my boyfriend was, in order to play appropriate music for the party. He arrived on time to set up and was very organized. Jamie played the music from the playlist I had given him and more. He added in songs that fit perfectly with the crowd and the atmosphere. He had both his laptops there and was able to download songs on the spot that guests requested. He has a great personality and provided a wonderful addition to our party. His price is something that first drew me to him. He is VERY reasonable; you cannot find a D.J with his same prices! I recommended him to another group I am part of and was pleased when I heard great reviews from his service at that event also. Overall, Jamie is a skilled, professional and reliable D.J who will assure the music at your event is everything you expect and more! read more

We hired Jamie for our wedding on Sept. 21st in Tahoe. He kept the party going and he played all my requests. He also kept extending his time for me. Things got started late and I didn't want only an hour to dance. I think he kept it going an extra two hours! It was a fabulous memorable time! read more

Jamie absolutely made our party!! We hired Jamie for a Christmas party that we were having, that had both adults and kids, and was on a Sunday afternoon. Jamie was amazing in how he "read" the crowd, starting things off with an easy tempo as people were just arriving, then picking things up as people had more drinks and were grooving a bit more! He did an awesome job at mixing in Christmas tunes and non-Christmas tunes. Plus, working with him was a breeze - he is super thorough in gaining a good understanding of what you're looking for, including suggesting songs, but he is so experienced that he can take the lead and suggest things. I'm truly amazed that he's so affordable. So many friends commented on his excellent DJ skills and asked for his information during the party, including a friend having a party next weekend. He might have a conflict but I'm hoping that we get to enjoy him as a guest next weekend!! We're calling Jamie for our next party for sure! read more

Jazcat Mobile Entertainment - Jamie as the cool Santa DJ! - DJs Near Me

I HIGHLY recommend this service. We hired Jazcat Mobile Entertainment for our mom's surprise 50th birthday karaoke dance party in Petaluma. DJ Jamie Larson arrived on time (crucial when throwing a surprise party), he was prepared with our music requests, and he even has the ability to download guests' song requests on the spot. He played to the tone of the party, and as everyone began loosening up he matched music perfectly for all those who were groovin on the dance floor. We had an unforgettable night, and Jazcat is a big reason why. Their light show and sound system is amazing, and it was perhaps the best I've heard karaoke sound anywhere. Halfway through the night, we knew that without this DJ, the party just wouldn't have been a party. To truly personalize a party and make it special, I suggest you gather songs, artists, and genres of music you and your guests enjoy and let Jamie arrange the playlist accordingly. I can honestly say you will not be disappointed selecting Jamie to DJ your party, most guests at our event made a point to get a business card from him. He did a great job, and made our night unforgettable! read more

Jamie is an excellent DJ and photo booth provider. He was the DJ for my son's graduation dance. He had all of the students (most of which never went to one dance all year) out on the dance floor all night long. It was awesome to see! He also customized the photo booth pictures with the theme for the dance and the school logo. I was so happy with how the night turned out! I could not have been happier and I would hire him again without hesitation. Great Job! read more

These guys were great! The music was great and the photo booth was super fun. Jamie was spot on with the music and lots of dancing. Adam was great with the photo booth. Both are professionals and everybody had a great time. I will definitely hire these guys again. read more

I can't believe there aren't more reviews here; maybe it's because it says Sacramento on Yelp, but Jamie (jazcat) has done many many weddings in the Bay Area. Have music, will travel! I cannot recommend him highly enough. The truth is Jamie is SO GOOD that he is fully booked every weekend night on word of mouth alone. He was referred to me by a guest at the 24 hour turnaround wedding (reviewed below) who then booked him herself, then my maid of honor booked him, and someone at her wedding will in turn book him. The reviews that say he saved an event are totally accurate. You don't realize how important a DJ is until you've been to an event with a bad one, and you don't realize how much EXTRA Jamie does until you work with him. I am a former feature film producer, and a wedding is a full scale production, with every moment emotionally choreographed ahead of time, and the cues are important. I can tell you this is the guy to whom to entrust your 'one-time, everything has to go on-time' budget. He is worth EVERY PENNY. He has an engineer's attention to detail and perfection, and he takes his performance and reputation very seriously. When you are his client. you have his total focus. He KNOWS music and is passionate about it. Not certain genres, all of it. I requested some obscure 1920s music from my grandparents' era, and he found it. He played a few songs that he couldn't have known that I wished I'd included and yet, there they were; he is the human Pandora app. He'll understand what you like. The above and beyond value you get with Jamie: * Wedding planning tools. He has broken down the structure of how weddings flow, and as soon as you contract with him, he gives you a chart to fill in. For every part of the event, he has an extensive database of suggestions for every moment if you get overwhelmed by what to choose. You will have picked the soundtrack to your event with appropriate cues for every phase of the event. If you don't know weddings very well (or like me, kind of hate them) he will guide you through anthropological structure of the event and give you all the options. And, best of all, he was open to customizing how we (haters of wedding-standards) wanted to do things our way. * Custom sound editing. Our live performers had to back out. I had very specific time cuts I wanted for processional and recessional, and two spliced songs for our first dance. I was still catching up on emails while he turned them right back around to me within an hour late at night. And they were perfect. * A complete copy of your wedding soundtrack. (!!!!!) You might not ever watch the wedding video again, but when you play your wedding soundtrack, the sensory memories flow. * Graphic design for your photobooth print outs. He went waaay above and beyond finding images and typography for our theme. * Uplighting. His uplighting package add-on meant we didn't have to pay a lighting company $2K! It was beautiful. You send him photos of what you have in mind, he makes it happen. * Photobooth. Hard copies for guests, hard copies for you, and a thumb drive with full size digital copies. The photobooth operator put even the photo-shy at ease. Jamie encouraged us to come up with our own creative backdrop, and it was a HUGE success. And a super value. The price is less than a groupon special, no time limit, and much better quality! * Thorough walk-through at the site prior to event. We had a challenging historical site requiring a fast outdoor front yard to back yard shift over the event, and though he is a one man show, we had not one single issue with audio nor one delay. He had looked at all of the outlets and was ready to go. * Event timing. I did not have a coordinator, and there was a point where we had a debacle with some family members and the caterer, which could have thrown the whole event off. Jamie came to find me to make sure everything kept going as it should. * DJ style. He has a confident master of ceremonies delivery, and makes the announcements without being schmaltzy nor overbearing. He does not cajole the guests into getting up with hokey demands, he gets them dancing with the music. Smooth music transitions and lively remixes that add to the dancing rather than sounding unfamiliar and jarring. * Professionalism first. We had a creative anachronistic Art Deco Halloween wedding, and encouraged him to come in costume if he wished. He stuck with a tasteful proper black outfit appropriate to the era. It's a pleasure to work with someone who so clearly loves and enjoys what he does, and brings extra Zone-level talent and service. I recommend him unreservedly! read more

I hired Jamie for a company party. My plan was to rent a karaoke machine which I have done in the past from other companies. Luckily I found Jamie who not only provided the karaoke machine and all the music you could possibly need but he also kept the party going between acts. He's an excellent DJ and knows how to keep the crowd engaged. Jamie is well-organized, full of positive energy and clearly knows his music. Jamie was super attentive and professional from the time I first reached out to the time the party ended. Next event I am definitely going to be calling Jamie. read more
