I hired Jaron for my grandson's Bar Mitzvah on June 13, 2026. He was very easy to work with for a 360 Photo Booth. He communicated well throughout the experience, was on time and ready with his set up and the guests enjoyed the videos. He had all of the videos ready and delivered to each guest on the same day. I would strongly recommend this company for your next event. THANK YOU - JBQAV read more

Jaron was nice to work with. Jaron was professional and the audio equipment was high quality very streamline to us. Jaron arrived early to set up was very efficient. Thank you Jaron & team. read more

I was tasked with finding a karaoke system rental for my last minute company event and logged onto Yelp for some quotes. Turns out most entertainment businesses don't rent out just karaoke systems, they also include a DJ! I was able to reach out to at least 5 businesses via Yelp. DJ Jaron instantly impressed me by responding within 15 minutes with a flat rate estimate and package already prepared. Jaron answered all my questions and always responded quickly (weekdays before 7pm). He's easy to work with and great to have conversations with! He also emailed an excel file for song requests to be played between karaoke songs chosen onsite. Clear and consistent communication via Yelp, email, and text. My event was within a week and a half and we needed karaoke services plus possibly disco lighting for 3 hours. JBQAV absolutely delivered! DJ Jaron's karaoke service included a sound system, staging lights, unlimited virtual meetings, $1M liability insurance, and over 69,000 songs. We also had 4 wireless microphones, 24" screen for singers to view the lyrics and I upgraded to the 65" screen instead of the 36" for $200 extra so the audience could sing along. Participants were able to view the tablet set up on the side to choose songs and write down the song/artist choice, plus name of person singing. It was cool seeing my name as a singer on the large screen! I loved hearing the song playlist I submit during set up and while people were choosing songs to sing. Dance pop is my jam! Anything that encourages people to get up and dance wins. I was already dancing around to Down by Jay Sean, Beautiful Soul by Jesse McCartney, and jamming to Titanium. Haha total millennial! Huge THANK YOU to DJ Jaron for making this karaoke event unforgettable!! My coworkers will be talking about this for a very long time. read more

We rented speaker equipment from JBQAV. Jaron was really nice and helpful! He figured out the kind of set up we would need right away. Everything was delivered and set up on time, with no hassle.

Jaron did a great job for our family reunion. He arrived early for set up and was ready to go when our guests arrived.

We called on Jaron at the last minute for an audio setup. He came just when he said he would, and his sound system made music for our wedding and reception work brilliantly. We can't thank him enough. read more

Highly recommended! We had a small indoor event (80 people) with a microphone and light music. The sound system was set up exactly how we wanted it. They labeled the music and microphone volume knobs on the mixer, and showed us how to adjust the speaker volume individually in case we wanted one room to be quieter for our guests. Bluetooth worked perfectly for playing our playlist from my phone. They arrived on time for set-up and take-down. Very communicative through the entire process. Fair price. Couldn't have asked for anything more! read more

We threw a retirement party for our parents and the team was very responsive when we were collecting quotes. They provided us with bundled services for DJ, Karaoke, and a 360 Video Booth at very competitive prices.

On the day of the event, they showed up on time, set everything they needed up, and they even helped us with things we needed to get accomplished too! The event was memorable and thanks to their team's attention to detail and flexibility with our program. Thanks for all the help making our parents retirement party an amazing celebration! read more

YOU ARE AWESOME JARON! We had a last minute gig in San Jose California. We were coming from Oahu and needed to rent sound equipment. I sent out multiple request to sound and party planners. Jaron you took the time to gather information from me and spent more than an hour communicating with me before I even agreed to rent. Jaron you were prompt, helped us with set up, made sure we had everything and more before you went to his next Commitment. Your equipment was in excellent condition! You are the best and if we ever come back we will certainly call you! The night before the party, the venue was short 24 chairs and I asked if he rented chairs and he said they do not. Since Jaron knew we were from out of town he made calls for me, found 24 chairs, picked up AND returned the chairs for us. Jaron's service was sooooo AWESOME he deserves a 10! A great big MAHALO to your company, you are the best! read more

We used yelp to find our dJ for the wedding. Jaron was the first to reach out with a breakdown as to what he can offer as well as the price up front. We chose to include the digital monogram to feature our initials over the dance floor. Jaron was also our MC and kept the flow of our wedding up to speed.. Jaron also provided a spreadsheet for us to include certain details and song choices. While he didn't meet the expectations on this as we had hoped he did great overall for how many items he was in charge of. Thank you Jaron for your hard work on this and for being apart of our wedding. Andrew & Mahnoor read more

We needed a DJ and sound system for a backyard summer dance party and Jaron totally came through for us. He communicated quickly upfront and was very clear about the process.

I've been in the music industry and a DJ for more than 3 decades. Worked with many sound companies for different type of events, large and small. Advancing an out of town event can be stressful because you don't know what you're going to get. The service JBQAV was spot on. I worked with Jaron personally. He was professional, punctual, had everything that was needed and even made suggestions that lowered the cost. All the gear was emasculate, worked like new and followed general safety precautions for load in, set up, break down and pick up. I would definitely use them again and I highly recommend them. Thanks Jaron & JBQAV! read more

Jaron is awesome to work with! He's super responsive in getting back to you by phone or email. Getting setup on an event day can be a stressful situation when you're dealing with multiple vendors and so I can appreciate that he communicates and confirms things every step of the way.

He came with all the tools, connecters, and cables needed to connect my laptop or making this process all a breeze. Highly recommend! read more

Jaron DJ'd and MC'd our wedding in June 2025. He was punctual and easy to communicate with. Our venue was a family home, so we had to be creative with setup, but Jaron arrived early and setup like it was nothing! There were some technical difficulties along the way, but something is bound to go wrong on the day. The hiccups were minor in the grand scheme. On the day, Jaron also worked closely with my photographer and I (in the absence of a coordinator), to keep the day running smoothly, which I greatly appreciated! The lighting he provided for the dance floor was both beautiful and created a party atmosphere. We had a great time working with Jaron and our guests also loved him! Thank you so much Jaron for taking care of us on our day! read more

We hired Jaron for our wedding and we highly recommend him. He is competent, kind and well-versed in audio visual equipment, technology and music. We had a very complicated set up for our ceremony (live violinists, cellist, singer/guitarist, two officiants, as well as ourselves) in the forest, and he was the only DJ who was able to meet our needs. He knows audio equipment inside and out and made everything sound amazing. He has lavelier mics and professional music microphones as well as regular mics, amazing speakers (and even portable speakers too which were battery powered I believe) and a professional sound board. He knows what he's doing and made everything run seamlessly. I have a lot of anxiety at baseline, but Jaron was available and kind and patient, open to answering all my questions at pretty much all hours of the day. He never once showed any annoyance and always embraced our feedback with a humble heart. He even went above and beyond and came with us to the site visit so he could feel equipped for the day of, came early to set up way ahead of time so everything could run smoothly and was so prepared. I love that we had an extensive document to fill out before our wedding - we created custom playlists for cocktail hour, dinner, grand entrance, dancing, etc. He kept the dance floor moving with fun songs, group dance songs, and a few slow songs. It was so cool to hear him play all our chosen songs, including my ORIGINAL song for when I walked down the aisle. He can get any song in any language pretty much and everything was so seamless. For our tunnel of light grand exit, we forgot to pick a song. No matter though, he had the perfect song at the ready. He also provided the uplights for our wedding, and event insurance (which took a burden off our shoulders!), and did the announcements. He's the full package! If you are looking for a professional audio / visual set up, a kind person with good vibes only, then Jaron is definitely the right choice! read more
