Had the best experience with Instant Request! From the initial meeting, to the event planning tool, to the meeting of the actual DJ during wedding month, through to the execution of it all on the wedding day - it was a top notch and professional experience! I felt confident at the service I was getting no matter who I interacted with. And great price compared to other quotes I got! We had Jimmy B as the DJ - he was fantastic. Very experienced and comfortable reading the crowd and working the room. One guest commented it was their favorite wedding music ever!! Fun to have tunes that the adults and grandparents enjoyed at first, then transitioned to a more mixed/ dance feeling the second half of the night. Something for everyone and smooth transitions throughout!
Great company, great DJs. Couldn't have asked for a better experience, DJ Jimmy was great.
We had Jimmy B as the DJ wedding and literally couldn't have asked for anyone better. We got soooooo.... many compliments and the dancefloor was full all night long. We would highly recommend Instant Request, their software for music selection and planning the whole night was amazing. We would give Jimmy B an even higher recommendation, he was fabulous.
DJ Jimmy was a wonderful addition to our wedding day! He was professional and handled the logistics seamlessly. During our virtual meeting before the wedding, his expertise was evident, and we felt confident in his ability to manage the ceremony and reception music. Jimmy was also very personable, aligning his music selections perfectly with our preferences and vision. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ!
DJ Jimmy absolutely killed it! He captured the vibe we wanted the entire night. Everyone was impressed with how he kept people on the dance floor for so long. Great communication and easy to get along with—not to mention, he made the BEST mash-up of my favorite songs. Highly recommend! Also, the cold sparks were a hit :P
We used Instant Request for our wedding this September and had a great experience! During planning, everything was very straight forward and easy to understand. Before our wedding we had a video meeting to go over all of the details with our DJ and they were very prepared and paid attention to all of the details we wanted! We had Jimmy B and he did an amazing job at using our playlist (and obviously was sure to play our must plays) but also was able to read the audience and kept the dance floor going until closing time!
Phenomenal experience with Jimmy as our DJ. Flawless execution and did a great job of reading the room and playing music accordingly as the night went on. Could not have been happier with the experience for our wedding.
We hired Instant DJ and specifically enlisted DJ Jimmy via the black tie package, and it was phenomenal! DJ Jimmy was great, and we had a ton of guests stay to dance the entire evening.
DJ Jimmy was amazing to work with and made our night even more fun with the dance floor being packed! He was thorough throughout the process of meeting with us and taking care of any requests we had. We recommend ANYONE to use Instant Request DJ Entertainment and DJ Jimmy!
DJ Jimmy B was friendly, flexible and accommodating the whole time we worked with him. He did an excellent job reading the room at our wedding and adjusting the songs accordingly. He played all of the music that we requested while throwing in some extras that were hits. We highly recommend Instant Request!
We had an amazing experience working with Instant Request! Our DJ Jimmy was AWESOME! Everything went smooth - would highly recommend working with them!
I just wanted to send you an email and say how absolutely AMAZING DJ Jimmy was this past weekend at our wedding. He did a great job and we could not have imagined it any better. He made sure everything was the way we had discussed and had asked for clarification on anything that we might have missed. And he had so many of us on the dance floor all night long. I had multiple people comment on how great it was. We will for sure be recommending him and Instant Request to our friends that are getting married!
Jimmy was the Dj we chose as part of the black tie package. He had a very upbeat and fun energy, looked very fancy and professional, and sounded like a perfect speaker for everything that needed to be announced. There were no technical difficulties, which was great. He was also bombarded with request after request of the old style wedding songs and would check with us first if that was okay. Played songs that the children at the wedding would dance to also. He's multifaceted with music choice, easy to get along with, and everything came very naturally with him. We were lucky enough to have the Northern lights the night of our wedding, everyone was rushing outside and leaving the dancefloor so I told Jimmy and he joined us all too. He even was laying on the ground to try and get a good picture of us with the sky above us. We're glad we chose him!
If you are looking for a DJ look no further . This was by far my best vendor . So organized , professional, reasonably priced , and AMAZING! Jimmy B exceeded all expectations . We had so many guests compliment us and many asked for his information for their upcoming events . The entire night ran smoothly with Jimmy’s lead . He was so personable and quick to read the crowd and select the best song choices . We can’t say enough good things . Thank you Jimmy for an amazing dance party! Words fall short of expressing what a great job you did at the reception! Not only did you keep the party going on the dance floor, but you were so organized and your calm attitude put both Dylan and I at ease. We had so many compliments on how fun our dance was and how wonderful you were! Thank you for running a night we won’t ever forget! We will treasure the memories forever!
We had a great experience using Instant request for our wedding. They had all the music we wanted to use (as well as extra versions of the songs we wanted that we ended up liking more), and there was one song I requested them to their library and they made it happen with no issue. We chose DJ Jimmy and couldn’t have been happier! We felt he really understood us and what we wanted the vibe for our wedding to be like when we met with him before the wedding, and he definitely executed that on our wedding night. We even pitched him an alternative to the dollar dance, and he helped us fine tune it and it ended up going better than we expected. Overall we were very happy with our experience.
We had a wonderful experience with Instant Request-specifically with our DJ Jimmy B! He was very professional, friendly, and helpful. We were not entirely sure what we wanted to music, and our pre wedding call with him cleared everything up. We loved how he managed the music and our reception and wedding, especially how he was intuitive to ours and our guests dancing needs as the night went on! We would highly recommend using Instant Request and asking for Jimmy!
We hired Instant Request for our wedding, which ended up being rescheduled due to COVID. Instant Request was incredibly flexible and easy to work with. We picked the black tie DJ and unfortunately our original DJ retired so we had to pick another. Matt and the team were so helpful in finding another, similar DJ who would work well for our event. We ended up with DJ Jimmy who was amazing! We really enjoyed working with him and thought he did an excellent job at our wedding. He communicated well with our wedding planner throughout the night and most importantly - kept everyone on the dance floor all night! We highly recommend instant request and DJ Jimmy!
FUN, helpful, professional, just awesome! If we could only repeat one detail of our wedding it would be booking Instant Request specifically, Jimmy B. I did a lot of research before picking Jimmy B and I’m so glad I did. We knew right away at our planning meeting that we were in good hands. He was extremely helpful and overall fun to be around. The day of our wedding he was amazing! He did everything we asked and then some. He knew having a full dance floor was important to me and he made sure it happened! Jimmy was able to read the room and change the music accordingly. He thought about our older guests, children, and everything in between. We can’t say enough about how much we loved having him. I HIGHLY recommend Instant Request but specifically get Jimmy B as your DJ!!
I just wanted to send a quick e-mail to let you know how fantastic Jimmy was on Saturday evening! I am so happy that we had him as our DJ! I could not have imagined a better event. He did a great mix of reading the crowd and playing our requests. I cannot rave enough about him. I hope we didn’t scare him during our meeting, because I think we requested that more “traditional” wedding songs not be played and instead maintain more of a party environment. He absolutely delivered. He kept our dance floor packed! He did a fantastic job of reading our crowd and playing a few Indian songs. Jimmy was the emcee that we didn’t know we needed. One thing that especially stood out to me was how he walked around to dismiss our guests for dinner. We had multiple guests approach us and told us that was an excellent way to dismiss them and they commented on how nice he was. My dad was also so happy with the microphone coaching he got pre-speech. We had so many people reach out to us on Sunday and let us know how great Jimmy was and how much fun the evening was!
It’s hard to imagine having a better experience with a wedding DJ service than I had with Instant Request DJ Entertainment and specifically, DJ Jimmy B from their Black Tie Staff. We hired DJ Jimmy to play music and supply a microphone for our wedding ceremony and our reception. DJ Jimmy was incredibly professional and well-prepared, he did a great job during our ceremony, and an even better job getting people on the dance floor. He played music that we requested and added in his own selections that were fantastic. He was a great communicator during the event and I really appreciate the amazing job he did for us. I’d recommend DJ Jimmy and Instant Request to everyone!
We LOVED our DJ – Jimmy B. He met and far exceeded our expectations. He was a perfect fit for our style! He got everyone moving, dancing, entertained, and involved. As the wedding approached, my biggest fear was that no one would dance, and that was definitely not the case! Jimmy played the perfect mix of old and new music, and again, it got everyone moving! I loved the dance – in fact, I am almost positive I danced to every single song! Jimmy was definitely in tune with us and the audience! The thing I like best about Instant Request is that our DJ made our day absolutely perfect! I loved that I was able to put in a request for a DJ that came recommended to us, and that we got to use him and LOVED him! I love how quickly people responded to my emails and questions. I also loved how we could request/block music in the online event planner. We also loved that we got a great deal for our DJ services! We got a special price/deal and it was such a great value! As our wedding day got closer, I was worried that we “didn’t spend enough” on a DJ and boy was I wrong! Jimmy far exceeded our expectations! I truly believe we got a wonderful deal for the price! Thank you so so much for making our wedding day perfect and enjoyable! Our guests were dancing the night away (as was my husband and I) and our guests reported having a fabulous time!! We had the best night of our lives!
We hired Instant Request through our reception venue and were SO glad we did! DJ Jimmy Bogen was phenomenal throughout the whole process from the initial meeting to the end of our reception. He was so easy to work with and incredibly flexible! Instant Request has an awesome online library of songs that you can pick as must haves, likes, or don’t play’s. We ended up changing our first dance song a few nights before the wedding and he was totally cool with it! The dance itself was awesome. The various events throughout the reception flowed seamlessly and he did such a great job reading the crowd and keeping everyone grooving. We never saw an empty dance floor the whole night and we even had my grandparents and great uncles on the dance floor the same time as my husband’s frat brothers! We had a very diverse wedding and guests and DJ Jimmy was able to accommodate everyone’s tastes! THANK YOU Instant Request and DJ Jimmy Bogen for making our reception the best dance we could’ve asked for! We had THE BEST DJ for our wedding and it is all thanks to your company!! Jimmy Bogen was phenomenal!! Thank you!!!
We can not say enough good things about our experience with Instant Request DJ Entertainment. Booking the DJ and communicating with the company was seamless. Our photographer highly recommended DJ Jimmy B to us and he did an absolutely outstanding job! We never had an empty dance floor and we received numerous compliments from our guests both young and old! DJ Jimmy was great. I would and have already recommended him to multiple friends getting married in the near future. He did a great job at playing the songs we liked while keep everyone on the dance floor all night. If you like to dance and want your guests to have a great time, I would highly recommended booking with Instant Request!
DJ Jimmy is amazing. He had incredibly creative ideas and was very flexible to work with. He had our wedding vision in mind and kept people on the dance floor the entire night. I wouldn’t go with anyone else for any of our future events!
I wanted to reach out to you and thank you for recommending Jimmy to be our DJ. Ross and I really cannot put into words how happy we were with Jimmy and his ability to facilitate an awesome party! We had multiple guests approach us after the wedding saying how great he was!! Choosing Instant Request as our DJ vendor was one of the best decisions we made throughout the wedding planning process! The online event planner made what can be an overwhelming and daunting task into a simple, fun and easy way to select your music and organize your dance. We were so lucky to have worked with Jimmy as our DJ for our wedding night. We knew from the moment we met him, we were in good hands. Jimmy worked with us making last minute changes all the way up to the week of our wedding and he never missed a beat. He was extremely professional and FUN to work with and also so accommodating, with our custom dinner playlist and our ethnic Greek music and dancing! It is amazing how well he was able to read the crowd and keep the party going all night long! Our guests are still talking about how great the music and dance, as well as the light show was! Thank you, Jimmy for making our reception a memorable one for us and for our guests! We truly loved working with you and Instant Request! Jimmy – thank you thank you thank you!!! You kicked serious butt at our reception! We had a couple guests get video footage of the dance and I swear there had to have been 70+ people on the dance floor all night! Everyone keeps raving about how awesome you were! We are so grateful! I would recommend you and Instant Request to any engaged couple out there! Thank you for everything!
Jimmy was the best! He listened to our do and do not plays and was all around a great time! We would hire Instant Request again in a heartbeat!
You surpassed my expectations. Our wedding was so fun because of you. I was worried that a DJ would be second best to a live band, but it wasn’t at all. You guys were over the top. Easy to work with and played all our requests. I highly recommend you to anyone wanting a great time.
DJ Jimmy B was amazing! We’ve been to 3 weddings with him (the last being ours!) and each one was so much fun/had the perfect mix of songs!! Can’t recommend him enough!!!
We loved DJ Jimmy B! He was so easy to talk to, read the crowd, and just did his thing without us having to worry about a thing! The online profile was easy to use and it gave us the right tools to enter in all of our preferences!! Thank you sooo much for being a wonderful DJ! We loved your work and so so appreciate you being there on our day! Loved working with Instant Request and will give a great recommendation!!!
Instant Request, as always, did a FANTASTIC job! I’ve attended several weddings where Instant Request was used as a DJ, so when it came to planning my own wedding – it was a no brainer! Jimmy did a FANTASTIC job at keeping the dance floor alive and playing songs to get everyone up and dancing! I wanted the dance to go all night long. 11/10 recommend Instant Request for anyone looking for quality, friendly and supreme service!
We had a great experience with Instant Request, and in particular with DJ Jimmy B. Your company was extremely responsive to our questions and worked with us throughout the process. Whenever we had a question or concern, Instant Request handled it immediately and made us feel comfortable. Jimmy B did a great job at our wedding of keeping the dance floor packed! He read the crowd extremely well and played songs that people loved. He was very professional throughout the planning and event.
Jimmy Bogen could not have been better. He played a great mix of the songs and genres that we requested. Multiple people have told me how awesome our DJ was. DJs make a difference. Jimmy made a difference. I could not recommend him enough. Thank you so much for being a DJ at our wedding! You did an amazing job. The ceremony and dance music was perfect. So many people commented on how much fun they had dancing at the wedding. People that normally refuse to dance were out there busting a move. We can’t thank you enough for creating the perfect atmosphere on our big day!
We LOVED our DJ, Jimmy Bogen! Amazing! Look no further. Instant Request was super easy to work with and has an easy interface to get your DJ all the info that they will need for your perfect day. I would pay the Black Tie extra cost and get Jimmy. He was an amazing DJ and kept people dancing for 3.5 hours straight! This was a super important part of our wedding and he knocked it out of the park. Just as an FYI you will just have one meeting with your DJ about 2 weeks before the wedding. Leading up till then you can work on filling out your wedding details. This process worked just perfectly for us! DJ Jimmy will have your back 100000% and we were so lucky to have him! People danced all night and we had the best time EVER! We loved Instant Request!
Amazing experience for our wedding! The office was in contact with us through the planning process, once a DJ was assigned about 2 weeks before the event , DJ Jimmy Bogen reach out first thing to discuss specifics on the event. We gave him minimal guidelines and told him we just wanted a good dance party for the reception. Jimmy absolutely killed it. We and all our guests had a blast and Jimmy playing excellent music the whole night. He even helped the father of the bride out on his speech upon his request. 100% recommend. Thanks again!!!
We had Jimmy B as our DJ for our September wedding and he was BEYOND amazing! We first saw Jimmy perform at our friend’s wedding and instantly knew we wanted him as our DJ for our wedding. Jimmy sat down with us and really narrowed down the feel we wanted for our wedding. Jimmy was organized and put us at ease when we couldn’t think of every song we wanted to play. The music was high quality and the equipment was pristine! We received so many compliments about our reception and how Jimmy made the people who normally will not dance, dance the night away! We HIGHLY recommend Jimmy for your wedding reception! Thanks again Jimmy!
Jimmy B was awesome! We met him at FIVE Event Center during an open house, and we knew we wanted him as our DJ right away. He was great to work with and made sure to stick to my wife’s playlist. He was great reading the floor and playing songs to keep the dancing going. We received a lot of compliments. A few of the vendors we worked with asked who our DJ was going to be, and when we said Jimmy B, they immediately lit up and said how much they love working with him. So definitely a great person and absolutely worth the price.
The office staff was friendly, accommodating, timely and extremely helpful with e-mails and phone calls. The online event planner software was very useful. It was really helpful in organizing the music for all the different parts of our day and the sample playlists were great. Our DJ, Jimmy, was great. He fit our style perfectly and completely listened to our likes and dislikes on the day-of, even when many people were requesting songs on our “do not play” list, which was much appreciated. What we liked best about Instant Request was our DJ. He was a perfect match for us and we enjoyed working with him. We also enjoyed the level of experience and professionalism at Instant Request in general. It made us feel like we were in good hands and it was one less area of our wedding to worry about. There was nothing we were disappointed in whatsoever. We thought Instant Request’s pricing was GREAT. We were initially meeting with another vendor who tried to tell us we needed double the lights that Instant Request said we needed to achieve the same effect. We felt like they were just trying to up-sell us and get us to spend as much as possible. We never felt that way working with Instant Request.
Instant Request is an excellent vendor that comes at a very reasonable price. We had our entire event in one location so we hired Instant Request to handle the music for everything: our wedding ceremony (pre-wedding music started at 4:30 pm), cocktail hour, dinner hour (including playing a DVD slideshow on a large screen), and the dance which went until 12:00 am. Before the wedding, they provide an online event planner that helps you to plan every aspect of the music for your event – from ceremony to first dance to whether you want the “Chicken Dance” played (no thanks :-). The planner also has every song on the planet to browse and listen to and there are suggestions provided as well. Jimmy B. was our DJ and he was awesome. We paid extra for the “black tie” service which included hand-picking our DJ and meeting him in person. Upon meeting Jimmy, we were put at complete ease because it was clear that he was competent and capable and had a wide range of knowledge regarding the different music genres. He not only looked like a professional DJ, he sounded like a real radio personality in his tone, inflection and confidence at the mic. We would without a doubt recommend Instant Request and DJ Jimmy B.
We went with the "black tie" option so we could choose our DJ. My sister is in the wedding industry and she recommended that we go with Jimmy B. He was incredible. He was a true professional and really easy-going. He listened to all our requests and made them happen. He was very responsive with emails. He also had an excellent feel for what songs to play and blended a few songs together (mash-up) style that made the music really stand-out/unique.
I booked Instant Request DJ Entertainment for my wedding this past July. Mitch was great to work with and was patient with all the questions I had before booking. We were luckily enough to be assigned with Jimmy B as our DJ. He was INCREDIBLE. I think I truly lived my best life out on the dance floor. It was packed the whole time and he did such a good job playing songs that everyone loved. I could not recommend him or Instant Request DJ more. Truly made my wedding the most it could have been!
Instant Request was easy to work with from the beginning and very organized. Our DJ Jimmy B was amazing!!! He put together our ceremony music seamlessly, even using a family piano recording for us. He created the best dance floor ever - it was full and non-stop until the end of the night! We had multiple guests tell us that not only was Jimmy B the best wedding DJ they had ever heard but that we also had the best wedding dance floor ever! It was a perfect fun-filled night thanks to Jimmy - exactly what we had hoped for! Cannot recommend Instant Request or Jimmy B highly enough! Thank you for everything!
We had a great experience using Instant request for our wedding.

Jimmy did an amazing job coordinating our wedding music for the service, dinner and dancing!
