John's the best. He really went above and beyond for our wedding. He is fluent in both English and Korean which saved us because we had family coming from Korea. He helped keep the flow and energy going when we were running late on plans. Would highly recommend him for any weddings. read more

My family came from Korea to attend my wedding and they had so much fun :) It was really hot day and we had outdoor ceremony w/ family pictures, John helped us fan our older parents / elders / families / and myself (bride)!! He was really helpful and genuine. Although our wedding was delayed, guests were waiting, MC John kept the energy / hype going! We highly recommend him for wedding or any MC event. read more

JYB Entertainment is absolutely phenomenal!!! We had gone to a friend's wedding before our own wedding, and we knew right away that we wanted to hire John as our MC.

Highly recommend to hire John and his team for any events! read more

We were extremely pleased with JYB Entertainment for our corporate Christmas party. John was engaging, professional, and kept the energy upbeat throughout the entire evening. His ability to connect with the audience, transition smoothly between program segments, and keep everything on schedule made the event feel seamless and enjoyable.

MC JYB truly is the best person you can go with in terms of any entertainment service for any event. I had the privilege of working with MC JYB John for our wedding this year and he did not disappoint. I met him couple of years ago at my cousin's wedding actually and thought one day when I have mine, I should definitely reach out to him. I ran into John at a wedding open house event and I was able to connect with him there. John provided me with great deals and on our wedding day, it was just extraordinary. He provided dj services that play your own curated playlist for each part of the wedding, does mc for the entire day, and even provided extra room lighting that just completely transformed the venue. Best part of it is that he can even do both English and Korean services fluently. If you're looking for someone to help you out with your wedding or any other event, JYB entertainment is the one. Thank you! read more

The BEST mc/DJ crew ever!!! My husband and I have hired them as our mc/dj for our girl's first birthday event (dohl) and we were so satisfied with their performance. They definitely made the event even better and smoother! Their professionalism and dedication are NOT questionable as they prepare so many important tasks for their clients such as scheduling, song choice, games, equipment setup and more! They also provide their own high quality sound and projector systems if needed! As John fluently speaks both English and Korean, he is a perfect choice for a bilingual mc! We highly recommend John and his crew!! read more

JYB Entertainment - Our mc John! - Party & Event Planning Near Me

We loved JYB Entertainment! We were a little anxious about virtually planning a west coast wedding from the east coast. However, John and his team put us at ease when we jumped on calls with them. Their experience and expertise really shines, as they answered all of our questions and pointed out minute details we missed. As you might guess, wedding day never goes exactly as planned, but John and the team were gracious and flexible. They made the wedding so fun and entertaining for all of our guests, young and old. We were so surprised how engaged everyone was and we got so many compliments about John and his team. They really did a great job and we are so grateful for them! Highly recommend! read more

John made the college's program award ceremony (banquet) fun yet professional. He did a fantastic job. Having an experienced MC like John made the ceremony both enjoyable and polished. John is an experienced Master of Ceremonies along with the skilled DJ, added a tremendous amount of value to the event, ensuring that it was engaging and well-coordinated. Thank you very much for making the event so memorable. read more

I highly recommend JYB Entertainment.My sister hired them for her wedding, and I was so impressed with their work that I decided to hire them after three years for my wedding. It turned out to be the best decision. JYB is bilingual. his proficiency in Korean and English was especially beneficial, as we had guests who spoke only one of the two languages. The games they organized were fantastic, making the wedding incredibly enjoyable for everyone. All of my guests had a wonderful time, and they only had positive things to say about JYB. Throughout the wedding planning process, JYB was extremely helpful. I booked their services a year in advance, and they were consistently responsive and willing to meet with me multiple times to discuss the details. Communication was easy, and JYB was always ready to offer valuable assistance. I cannot recommend them enough! read more

Are you looking for a professional and stellar MC/DJ service? Then stop and don't look far. John is your answer! From my wedding, the first thing that all the guests (old and young) complimented on was how amazing John was. They all sent messages afterward saying this is the first wedding that they actually had a lot of fun at. Not only does John know how to entertain the crowd, but also John has the biggest heart when it comes to his clients. He provides the most reliable service and will go above and beyond to make sure the bride and groom are the stars! He even joined our dance floor to encourage guests to dance and stood in our sparkler line to make our wedding photos even more phenomenal. The list is endless! I promise that you'll get your money's worth! :) read more

John was nothing less than amazing. John and team went above and beyond with music and MC duties. All guests complimented on how FUN the wedding was. - Attention to detail to make sure the wedding day ran smoothly. - Quick on his feet to change plans when requested - Bilingual a HUGE plus John truly cares for the people he serves and wants to make sure they have the most memorable night for the bride, groom, and all wedding guests. read more

We LOVED having JYB Entertainment as part of our wedding. It was one of the best and most important decisions we made because the emcee and DJ play such a big role in setting the vibe and mood for your entire wedding. Every guest we've talked to after the wedding has complimented this team. John really understood what we wanted for our wedding and was especially helpful because he could emcee in both Korean and English. Highly highly recommend JYB Entertainment for any event!!! read more

John and his team were amazing to work with. They were professional, friendly, and incredibly patient with all of our questions and last minute changes we had for our wedding. John was a great listener and worked with us on an entire custom schedule including preferred games. He made the wedding fun and lots of our guests were so engaged. He totally caters his services to your needs and we're so happy to have worked with him and his team. Thank you for a fun day!! read more

Used John's services for our dohl event. He is the best entertainer I've seen from all the events we've attended. He knows how to hype up the crowd very well read more

If you're looking for a DJ who will take the time to understand and adapt their approach to your vision and truly put the time and effort into learning what you're looking for, JYB will be the perfect DJ for you. JYB made our wedding ONE to remember. JYB reviewed the music and games we wanted and met with us for over an hour on Zoom meetings to walk us through the ceremony and reception, patiently discussing various options and helped us think through how it would look and feel to go with one approach over another, and executed everything beautifully for the wedding. Days after, friends and family are still talking about how phenomenal the DJ was and compliment his work (and his team). He was easy to work with, and really was able to engage the guests with all the games that he put together. I think what we loved most was how attentive to the little details JYB was, which put us completely at ease. We had such a good time, and it was truly because of JYB. His experience, professionalism and calming presence kept things moving along and allowed us to be present for the festivities. We are so grateful for JYB and his team (DJ, planner and coordinator). I would recommend JYB to anyone looking for a really thoughtful, meticulous and attentive DJ. Will definitely be reaching out to JYB for any future DJ needs. read more

I meant to leave this review right after my wedding but somehow it didn't go up. Now it's been about 1 month since my wedding, given me more time to look back and ponder on the things that could have been better... and the more I think about my big day, the more I realize that there is ONE THING that I ABSOLUTELY feel so GREAT about WITH NO REGRETS, is that I chose JYB Entertainment to be my MC and DJ!! They are basically PROS with heart of a FRIEND. On your BIG DAY, like any other big events, things can totally go wrong or turn out the way you never wanted. My wedding was not an exception, it was EPIC HOT for our outdoor wedding , the DJ table set up had to be moved to a different spot in the middle of the set up , and guests were exhausted even before the start of the reception ‍... If it wasn't for John and Jay, I honestly think my reception could have been so DEAD... Yet, they performed such wonderful team work to make it happen- through it all- despite of the circumstances. My guests were good mixture of English speaking only with Korean speaking only and the participation from both ends were so crazy! Totally unexpected! Until now, when my family and friends are talking about my wedding they all go "OH and the MC was SOOO good!" and "THE MUSIC played in the back was so nice" and do you know how happy I feel to hear that?? My guests enjoyed my big day to it's fullest since John made it so enjoyable for them. We laughed, danced, and cried. To see everyone enjoying themselves was the greatest gift I received on my wedding. THANK YOU very much John and Jay!!! read more

I cannot recommend John enough!! Going with John was the best decision I ever made! John was completely fluent in both Korean and English, incredibly confident and upbeat, and really knew how to make our reception fun with games and entertainment! Everyone at my wedding had so much fun at the reception, John kept all the guests engaged and laughing the entire time, and to this day, everyone keeps raving about how awesome my MC was!! TO TOP IT ALL OFF - Lots of vendors that I booked were very hands off and didn't really communicate with me until two weeks before wedding, but John went above and beyond, checking in on me, sending me helpful timelines, and keeping me on track with the things he needed from me. In the final month, I was getting confused on how I should set up the ceremony (processional, recessional, unity ceremony etc.), and my wedding coordinator wasn't too helpful because she didn't understand the Korean cultural nuances. Even though it wasn't part of his job, John was very patient and hopped on 1 hr+ calls with me several times to help me put my ceremony and reception timeline together. He gave me many recommendations on how to honor Korean parents with rose presentations, how to incorporate the sand ceremony, the order of parents/family in the processional, how to structure the toasts/speeches at specific times to keep guests engaged, etc. Seriously, during the crazy and stressful month, you have no idea how helpful this was. THANK YOU JOHN!! read more

First of all, I would like to say that John was an amazing MC at our wedding. Both during and after the wedding, everyone was talking about how kind, entertaining, energetic, and skillful he was at guiding the crowd through the reception. Every guest (Koreans and Americans alike) said they had a great time and the events John came up with were a blast. Although things were very hectic even during the wedding, John took the opportunity to capture some of our memorable moments and sent us pictures as well. 10/10 would recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding MC and especially more so if you are looking for a Korean/English MC. read more

My wife and I wanted to thank John and his crew for making our wedding so memorable. We needed some fun who could keep both my Mexican family and my wife's Korean family engaged and he was amazing. We couldn't have asked for a better MC for our wedding. Super fun, super receptive and professional. Again, thank you so much John. I recommend him 100%!!! read more

We had MC John at our wedding and we're so delighted. The entire night he was engaging with the whole room and speaking bilingually. I really appreciated how present and attentive he was to include the whole party. He facilitated some very memorable moments that we know made an impact on our special day. We are so grateful!! I would highly recommend him for any event. read more

I met MC John at work at my sister's wedding, and he was great! Once it was time for our wedding, it was a no-brainer for us to call MC John and his crew. At our initial visit, MC John was very open with us while being professional at the same time. He was accommodating every step of the day! On our wedding day, we had some changes to our schedule as all weddings do, and MC John and the DJ made the transition smooth and seamless. He checked all the boxes for what we wanted in the MC/DJ team: bilingual, professional, experienced, patient, witty, and thorough! Recommended him to all my friends and family! read more

So I just got married 3 days ago and John was our MC and brought in an awesome DJ. Our guests had a blast and everyone thought John was awesome and very professional. My wife and I wanted a fun wedding and he really made sure to keep up the spirit and keep things lively. So if you want a fun wedding definitely give John a call. Like many others I found MC John on Yelp. Finding a DJ / MC is actually a lot harder than I expected. It just so happened that our favorite choice was also Korean which was helpful in our situation - even though our entire ceremony and wedding was done in English it was nice he could instruct our guests in both Korean and English when needed. His English is perfect as is his Korean so don't exclude him thinking he is a bilingual only DJ. So one thing I realized after the wedding is that things that you can't plan will go wrong on your wedding but when you have professionals like John and our coordinator at the Turnip Rose (we had our wedding at their location Celebrations on Newport Blvd) the guests don't even know anything went wrong. There were some timeline issues that were my fault (we forgot to send the DJ timeline to our coordinator) but they both worked quickly in the background to make sure they were both on the same page. And we had some time issues because table greet and roam took longer than expected so we quickly changed up the schedule to fit. In any case you need people that can quickly work through issues like John so that was very nice - we didn't have to worry about a thing. The most important thing though - my wife and I had a blast, we had a fun chair removal game that we are still laughing about and we danced the night away. Our guests also had a blast. All of our friends were on the dance floor till the very end thanks to the DJ that John brought in (I can't believe I forgot the DJ's name, sorry!). We had to end the night at 10:45 so we could do a sparkler send off but everyone was still dancing right till the end. So thanks John for the wonderful night from the newlyweds Harry and Soomi! read more

JYB Entertainment - Everyone had a blast at our wedding John! Thanks for the pic too! - Party & Event Planning Near Me

Are you looking for a great MC? Do you want your guests to get up and get up on the dance floor? Are you looking for an MC to rocky our wedding that can get the ajusshis and ajummas laughing and having a good time while entertaining the younger guests? Look no further. Not only is John one of the best MCs in the game, he puts in that extra elbow grease to make sure your day goes flawlessly. The most impressive part about him is how humble and genuinely nice he is, and I would count him a friend at this point. He has MC'd most of my friends wedding and guys, he was one of the first vendors we booked because we wanted to make sure that we had him as our MC. He adjusts so quickly to the inevitable family quirks and bumps and will turn an awkward moment into a hilarious joke. A genuinely caring person, I cannot recommend him highly enough. He is a gem, and if you are needing a Korean speaking MC who works with a DJ that can rock the house, go with John. *Mic Drop* read more

If you are looking to have a fun upbeat wedding John is definitely the best. I was so worried that my small covid wedding would be awkward with only 68 people but John made my wedding a blast. I had so much fun and so did all my guest. Even after the wedding I kept receiving text messages that I had the best MC. Thank you again John you are the best. read more

We hired John as our emcee for my son's birthday. This is the second 1st birthday party in our family and all the friends and family that came to both our parties said the emcee was the highlight of our party. He made our party so much fun. Some said this was the most fun they have ever had at a kids first birthday party. I highly recommend him as I think he's the best. He took the time to get to know our family before the event as well. Thank you for being the best emcee we could ever hope for! read more

We highly recommend JYB Entertainment! John was the emcee for our wedding and he and the DJ were amazing. They are very professional, helpful, and easy to work with.

John and the DJ kept the atmosphere upbeat. Our guests had a great time! read more

John has great humor, was witty every situations. John made my wedding great and everyone entertained. I strongly recommend John. You will not regret. Humorous, witty, organized and good voice. Thank you John. read more

After seeing how great John was at another wedding, my wife and I had John from JYB Entertainment MC/DJ our wedding reception earlier in the year. He was very professional, informative, and helpful throughout the entire process. He brought up new entertainment ideas that he didn't use at the previous wedding and it ended up being great! We got compliments from guests saying that it was the best wedding reception they have ever been too. I highly recommend John and his team for any event. read more

We hired John for our wedding in April and he was amazing!!! We were looking for both a bilingual officiant and an mc, but never imagined we would be able to find it all in one person!!! The meeting went great, the rehearsal was super fun and the wedding day was a blast!!! He and his dj made our reception so fun, everyone was enjoying themselves and commenting how our wedding seemed so stress free and just fun! We even referred him to our friend, who hired him for their wedding that was 2 weeks before ours. Thanks again John!! read more

JYB Entertainment - Best night of our lives! Great officiant and MC all in one!! - Party & Event Planning Near Me

I usually just browse Yelp but I had to create an account and give John and JYB Entertainment their due for helping us with our wedding! John was both the coordinator and MC for our wedding. He did a fantastic job coordinating the entire event, which included keeping in contact with various vendors, venue personnel, and our wedding group to ensure our wedding went as smoothly as possible. From my interactions with him, he struck me as someone with a great deal of wedding experience and will give you a honest assessment of wedding planning and events so we are able to make informed decisions on our big day. He really helped us tie up a lot of loose ends on our wedding day and was an essential person to have on our wedding day. His MC duties included bilingual services for English and Korean guests. He helped usher the wedding group during wedding photos in both Korean and English, and made sure anyone who didn't speak English or Korean fluently were not excluded from the events. He was a great MC during our wedding and was able to keep the wedding lively and fun despite the wide range of demographics and age of the wedding guests. I highly recommend John if you are looking for a wedding coordinator or MC! read more

Awesome experience working with JYB for our wedding. John was professional, entertaining, accommodating, and super easy to work with. We had tons of our guests complimenting the MC/DJ duo saying what a great job they did. He brings a lot of great experience, and he knows exactly how to feel the vibe of the room and run with it. Trust me, highly recommend! read more

Our wedding was in October 2017 and it was perfect. John + his team are the best! My husband's family used John to be the MC on multiple events and he was fantastic every time. A true pro, courteous and very entertaining. Communication throughout the wedding preparation was excellent and he really made the process effortless. Highly recommend JYB Entertainment! You won't regret it. Thank you John!!! I'm sure we will see you again soon for our future events. :) read more

John is hands down the best MC ever!!! We were looking for a bilingual MC for all the Korean adults. Not only did he have their attention but he wasn't afraid to do what I wanted to do and quiet them down during the speeches!! Best of all, what makes him an amazing MC and just all round person is that he was flexible. He had a smile on his face the entire time, which I'm sure was difficult when pulled in multiple directions! He also is great at MC a paekbaek if you need someone to officiate that!! We really appreciated you so much!! True MVP! As the bride, I really like that when we had our first meeting he was so prepared. He was late but he made it up by bringing so many amazing ideas, games, and just a great attitude to make our reception a blast. Thank you again for making our reception so memorable!! read more

Very professional and yet friendly staffs from JYB Entertainment. John the MC was extremely funny running the whole wedding reception. He is fluent in both English and Korean. He understands the different cultures well enough to read the audience and he is able to make adjustments for the crowds. He will run everything by you to make sure it goes well according to the plan. Not only did my wife and I thought he and the DJ were awesome but also we were told by many others after the wedding that JYB Entertainment was amazing compared to many other typical entertainment crew. The fact that the guests thought that tells me that this crew is the best crew out there. Don't go anywhere else. read more

Our family desperately needed an emcee for my mother-in-law's 70th birthday celebration and we fortunately made the right decision to call JYB entertainment. John was our emcee and he was awesome!!! It's so hard to entertain Korean elders, but somehow he more than managed to keep the party fun and lighthearted. John has such a positive energy that puts guests at ease -- so many people came up to me to tell me they really enjoyed all the games and karaoke provided by our emcee and dj. Thank goodness we had John because there's no way we could of entertained 70 elders by ourselves! :) read more

MC John was by far the best MC. He was funny, charming, and really got the attention of all of my guests during my wedding this past weekend. The guests at my wedding have personally called me to tell me that my wedding was the best they have ever gone to because of John. Everyone that attended my wedding can not stop raving about him and how much fun he was to have as an MC. He went out of his way to make us feel comfortable during our wedding and translated Korean to English and vice versa so that no one would feel left out. Thank you John and DJ Alpha for making our wedding memorable! You guys are awesome and we can't thank you enough :) read more

THE BEST MC FOR SURE. My wedding was 9/7/2019. I was struggle to find the MC who can speak Korean and English. Because my family can not understand English at all. (my husband side of family they can speak English and Cantonese.) I was look through all the review on yelp, John was the one of the good review MC. I contact him, we met one time at starbucks for pre-interview. He let us know how is wedding going to be, his idea was brilliant and sounds so fun. Me and my fiance just give him a shot without doubting. On my wedding day, that was pretty traditional reception. Kind of quiet, more like parents friends and family wedding in Chinese restaurant. But you know what, John change the whole atmosphere. He has a VERY good skill of making people fun, amazing idea of games. Even my coworkers were plan to go back home alittle bit early, (because they live far.) but they really enjoy my whole reception, they decide to stay one night around my area. All generation loves him so much. After my wedding all of my friends and family compliment him. Still my husband said ' if it possible, I really want to go back to time when we having reception.' I am not even kidding. John is the best MC for sure. Somebody who wants great wedding night, John is the one. read more
