What customers have to say about Jess...
"DJ Jess exceeded our expectations
"My partner and I planned a somewhat small wedding (50 guests) during our three month engagement. We were very worried about our guests safety during our COVID-19 wedding and I was hesitant to hire a DJ or have a dance floor at all. Jess ended up being one of the highlights of our night, though. Beforehand, we spoke briefly on the phone, at which point she picked up on ur vibe, gave us some guidance, and took care of the rest. She really curated our experience based on what our guests wanted. I imagine that during the pandemic she has had to show up, read the room, and adjust accordingly - she did this seamlessly on Friday.
"We had a small wedding and weren’t even sure if we wanted to hire a DJ. We didn’t know how responsible it would be to encourage people to dance during a pandemic, and to be honest, were hesitant to spend that kind of money considering we only had 50 guests. I am so glad that we did though because Jess really created the celebratory atmosphere that our guests were counting on, and to be honest, desperate for during this strange year. We booked another DJ initially who actually backed out due to complications related to quarantining, so we booked with Get Down Tonight Entertainment just a couple of weeks before the wedding for an even better price and were so pleasantly surprised. We really feel that everything happened exactly the way it was supposed to and are so grateful for the experience that we had with your company and with Jess. Jess, you were incredible! We are so happy with our decision to book you and will most definitely recommend you to friends and family."
- Olivia & Rodrigo Marques de Almeida, 01-22-2021
"Jess was booked for our wedding up in New Hampshire. When our venue and date fell through, we expected to have to begin the hunt for a new DJ since we found a new venue in Southeastern Massachusetts. Instead, Jess said she'd still be happy to be our DJ and made the process smooth as butter for us. She walked us through every step of the way, dealt with our crazy relatives and the hurdles they presented, and killed it during our big night. Thanks Jess!"
- Pat Derochea
"I think Jess should be on your A-list!!!! During these doom and gloom times of Covid we were not sure what to expect for the wedding. Words can’t describe how much Jess did to get this party started smart and safely and kept it rolling literally until after midnight. Could not have had a better pick in Jess to ring in the new year!!!! Can’t wait to have another reason to book her again!"
- Kristin Huberdeau, Mother of the Bride, 12-31-2020
"DJ Jess was the perfect DJ for us! She knew exactly the kind of music we liked, was willing to chat with us as much as we needed, and made sure that we were feeling happy and relaxed on our wedding day! All of our fiends loved the music and she did a great job incorporating some music for our smaller families who attended! She was easy to connect and communicate with and we are so glad we got to meet her! Jess, thank you so much for making our wedding day so perfect! You were so easy to connect with and communicate with and we knew right away we wanted to work with you! We are so glad you got to be with us on our special day and are so thankful for not only having you as our DJ, but just getting to meet you!"
- Savannah & Phill Spector, 04-16-2021
"Jess!! We just wanted to reach out and say how f***ing amazing you were yesterday. We appreciate everything you did for us, you turned into not only our DJ, but pretty much our coordinator too and yesterday wouldn’t have gone as smoothly if it wasn’t for you. Let me know where I can leave a 5-star review and rave about you! We definitely want to grab some beers with you sometime! Thank you so much again!"
- Hanna & Tia, 05-01-2021
"I would recommend Jess and Get Down Tonight Entertainment to anyone who has a function they need a DJ for. Jess was so helpful and organized when planning out our song choices and just made the whole process so easy and stress free. I never stopped dancing the night of my wedding because Jess knew what types of songs we would like and made the whole experience just amazing. I couldn’t have been happier with my experience with Get Down Tonight Entertainment and with Jess. Jess, thank you for making our special day even better! You did such an amazing job with your song choices that you had everyone dancing the entire night, young and older. I don’t think I’ve ever danced for such a long period of time like that! Song after song was something I wanted to dance to. Thank you again for all that you do!"
- Arianna & Nick Ferrara, 05-08-2021
"Jess was amazing! We heard so many compliments from our guests about the DJ and overall music experience. Everyone was dancing and having a great time. Jess went above and beyond— not just with music and announcements— to make sure we were well taken care of. In addition, the monogram came out incredible. We truly appreciate all the thought and effort that was put into everything. Get Down Tonight Entertainment was incredible to work with. Their website is very easy to use and all of our questions were answered promptly. Thank you!"
- Alyssa & Brady Morgan, 06-04-2021
"Jess was absolutely amazing!! She stuck with our music choices. We had a major storm passing through and she kept us updated on what was going on and once the storm passed she was right on time to get everything rolling forward. She had great energy and was very positive and professional. Absolutely loved her. Thank you Jess for everything that you did for Chris and I! We truly appreciate your positivity and energy. You were amazing and we loved having you. Very thankful we chose you to play at our wedding."
- Denise & Chris Green, 06-05-2021
"We are very happy with our choice and will be recommending Jess and the company to our future class advisors."
- Sarah Martin, Tyngsborough High School Prom, 06-07-2021
"Even though Jess had a playlist, she was still willing to listen to the student’s requests. Very sweet! She was so easy to work with!"
- Amy Landry, Derry Village Shamrock Day, 06-10-2021
"Jess was very professional and ran the wedding reception like a pro. I would recommend her to anyone looking for wedding entertainment. Jess was also helpful with the planning before the wedding via a Zoom meeting and gave her recommendations that worked out perfectly. Jess, thanks so much for your help in helping us with planning before the wedding and song choices. As you witnessed, everyone was out on the dance-floor as you played the songs that kept them going. I liked how you took control at the wedding in regards to the introductions of the wedding party and family members. If at any time anyone is looking for a wedding DJ, I would highly recommend you. Anyone I spoke with after the wedding, they were saying how much fun they had and I personally believe that when the entertainment is good, people remember. If you have anyone looking for a reference please feel free to have them reach out to me. Thank you."
- Kevin Johnson, Father of the Bride, 06-12-2021
"Jess was beyond amazing and we’ve been told by several of our guests that our wedding was one of the best they’ve attended!"
- Danielle & Carmine Palermo, 06-12-2021
"Jess was phenomenal!! We are so thankful that she was able to so successfully make our wedding as smooth and perfect as it was. She helped pull off all of our surprises for each other and the guests so seamlessly. Everything was perfect!"
- Kelsey & Chris Curley, 07-02-2021
"Jess, we absolutely loved the work you did on Saturday. It was exactly our vision and our friends are RAVING about your whole set. If you ever need a testimonial, hit us up, we’d be happy to give it."
- Megan & Edward Courvan 07-10-2021
"Jess was a blast! From our initial meeting to the after party, we had the best time working with her. The music was incredible, of course, but what we loved most about Jess was her personality! She had great ideas to add fun twists to some wedding reception traditions and made it a night to remember! Jess, we can’t thank you enough! We had such an amazing time at our wedding. The flow of the whole night was perfect and we appreciate you keeping us on track. We had so many people tell us how awesome the music was and they had such a good time dancing. We’ll definitely be throwing your name out there to anyone looking for a DJ!!"
- Katherine & Sheldon Button, 08-28-2021
"Jess, we would like to say thank you so much for your part in making our wedding day better than we could have ever dreamed. The dance floor was always hopping. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend your services to anyone looking for a DJ. We truly can’t thank you enough."
- Jaci & Nate White 09-04-2021
"We just wanted to let you know that Jess was so fantastic! She was on the ball with the details and planning before and during our wedding. She found very specific songs that had great meaning to me and my family and was able to play them during our reception. She read the crowd and just kept everyone having a great time. You can see she truly loves what she does because she was smiling and dancing in her booth the entire night. We can’t say enough wonderful things about her. Thank you so much!"
- Nichole & Rob Carey, 10-09-2021
"Jess, thank you so much for being part of our special day! I know we gave you hours worth of music to sort through, but you did a fantastic job!"
- Alissa & Alex Libby, 10-16-2021
"Jess, thank you for an amazing time you gave us with your epic DJ skills. Everyone enjoyed the music and the dance floor was packed with friends and family who had a great time. We’re so glad to have worked with you and how you made our wedding so fun and easy."
- Jasmine & Andrew Soleyn, 10-21-2021
"DJ Jess Riley was amazing! She did a phenomenal job as our DJ. She played a great range of music to appeal to the diverse age groups at our wedding. Jess checked in with us multiple times during our reception to see if we needed anything and let us know exactly what activity was next (toasts, cake cutting, parent dances, etc.). Prior to the big day, she was very responsive to emails. She was able to answer ALL of our questions related to anything wedding, not just about the music. My husband and I attended six weddings this past year (including our own) and Jess was by far the best DJ. We highly recommend her! Thank you, Jess!"
- Amy & Cole Rushford, 10-23-2021
"Jess, we just wanted to say thank you so much for everything you did for our wedding reception in October! Everyone had such high compliments and were on the dance floor all night! Our best man has commented on what an awesome DJ you are every time the reception comes up. We also appreciated you walking us through the various parts of the evening including how to go about our cake cutting! We hope to have the opportunity to work with you again."
- Ellen & Tyler Bennett, 10-30-2021
"Book if you want your guests dancing all night!!! I cannot recommend Jess and Get Down Tonight Entertainment enough. They were so easy to work with to get information on DJ availability and setting up meetings with DJ’s we were interested in. We ended up booking Jess and we are SO glad we did! We gave her a couple songs we wanted, but pretty much let her do her thing and it was the best decision. Our guests are still raving about how amazing she was and how they’ve never been to a wedding where the dance floor was packed all night. We seriously had so much fun dancing with all of our guests and cannot thank Jess enough for making our night perfect!"
- Theresa & Craig Hammond, 11-06-2021
"We had DJ Jess Riley for our wedding at Birch Wood Vineyards on 12-04-2021 and she absolutely exceeded my expectations; which were already high after watching Jess’ introductory video through GDTE and after talking to her about how we wanted the day to go. Jess is professional, fun, and completely knows what she is doing. The dance floor was packed the entire night, and most of our guests told us it was the best wedding they've been to— and that was 100% because of Jess. She knows how to read a room and was rocking out with us the entire time. When the majority of your guests go out of their way to say “your DJ is effing AWESOME” you know it’s a good party! I recommend Jess to anyone and will be booking her for any other party I throw in the future!"
- Allison & Chris Carter, 12-04-2021
"We had the pleasure of hiring DJ Jess Riley. She is fun, great at what she does, and professional. When you meet her it is as if you have known her all your life. We said it would be a once in a lifetime party, but I’m already thinking of having a party next year so we can have Jess DJ for us again. Get Down Tonight Entertainment has great customer service, we appreciate it!!! Thank you!"
- Melanie & Leon Austin, 12-11-2021
"Thank you so much for everything you have done for us! Working with you has been amazing and so easy! Happy to have you celebrating our big day with us!
"Love,"
- Becca & Brad Hannon, 10-03-2020
"Hire ANYONE from this company!!!!
"For our August 29 wedding my husband and I had a whirlwind of a planning process. Like most couples this year we dealt with changing plans and venues. When our original DJ backed out, I called Get Down Tonight, fingers crossed they’d be able to help us with late notice. Tommy was so kind and calm and took away all my worries in minutes. It was so seamless it felt like it was meant to be all along.
Our DJ was Jess Riley and she was incredible. Jess was so fun to communicate with prior to our wedding. Our planning meetings were very well thought out, organized, and Jess took all of our likes and dislikes into thoughtful consideration. Music was the biggest part of our day that each of us had opinions on and Jess made it look easy to handle our vast/eclectic music tastes.
"She also emceed our evening perfectly without any dead air - playing our requested songs at the perfect moments. We couldn’t have asked for anything more.
"Last but not least, my guests did not leave the dance floor. That is the true mark of a great DJ. Thank you Jess and everyone at Get Down Tonight.
If you are looking for a professional DJ and company that is worth your money, look no further."
- Olivia & Colby Aubut, 08-29-2020
"We had Jess Riley DJ our wedding last month and OMG
"She was absolutely amazing. From the first time we spoke up until the very last minute of the night, she was there for us. She was very helpful and understanding, especially during this crazy thing called COVID… She was so upbeat and personable towards all of our guests, which we got so many compliments afterwards about her! :) And she certainly did not let us down on the party! Everyone was up on the dance floor groovin all night (and I mean everyone - age 4 to 84!). We highly recommend this DJ service, and especially Jess - She was an absolute gem <3"
- Lexi & Zack Morse, 08-15-2020
"DJ Jess was amazing!
"Finding the right DJ can make or break a wedding! My husband and I both knew that we wanted to throw an amazing reception with as much dancing as possible. We met with a few local DJ companies that just weren’t the right fit for us and began doubting if we were ever going to find the right one. When we met DJ Jess we knew immediately she was the one! She understood our vision for our wedding and made sure to take numerous notes to ensure our day was perfect! The day of our wedding we were so excited to finally get out on the dance floor with our fiends and family and dance the night away. Jess made sure to play what everyone wanted to hear and the dance floor was packed all night long, you can tell she loves what she does! Our guests haven’t stopped telling us how much fun they had and how awesome she was! We loved her so much we booked her for our second wedding celebration this summer! Be sure to meet with her and book her immediately before she books with another couple!"
- Alysha & Tim Murphy, 02-29-2020
"Thank you for the incredible job you did providing music and entertainment for Kathryn’s wedding at Manchester Country Club on Saturday. Many of our guests commented on what a great time they had. We were so pleased with everything!
"Thank you",
- Cyrena Mandel, Mother of the Bride, 01-04-2020
"Jess Riley was absolutely amazing! My guests are STILL complimenting her song choices and her talent. She made my wedding so special and really brought all of my guests together. I will be recommending her to all my friends and family!
"Thank you so much for setting me up with Jess, she’s truly got talent!"
- Jennifer Brown, 10-31-2019
"Jess was phenomenal from start to finish during the entire process of selecting a DJ for my wedding. She was responsive every time I had a question or change to the program. We met multiple times before the wedding just because I kept having dreams that everything was going to go horribly wrong and she eased my worries. When the day came, she blew not only me but my guests away too. I can’t count how many people came up to me not only during the wedding but the weeks following to tell me how awesome my DJ was.
"My favorite moment of the night, and proof of the professional that Jess is, was during the bouquet/garter toss. I had, in the weeks before the wedding, told Jess I didn’t want it to be horribly awkward so we had made a plan to flip flop the traditional. Which meant the girl who won the bouquet would put the garter on the guy that caught the garter. But when the time came and I saw the people within my family and friends who caught the bouquet/garter I grabbed Jess with a quick “Abort! Abort! Do the traditional! Let him put the garter on her!” Jess nodded and seamlessly changed plans. No one had any clue, including my husband, what our original plan was. Jess made it seem like that was the plan the entire time.
"Jess made my dream wedding a reality, which was basically a giant family reunion where everyone would dance the entire night. I had a very high standard for what I wanted in a DJ (responsive to my emails/texts, flexibility on play list and what was going in the wedding, being at two locations for ceremony and reception, expertise to be able to guide me through the process because I was clueless, an awesome sound system/playlist, and most importantly being friendly and easy to talk to) and she exceeded all of them.
"Thank you so much Jess!"
- Alanna + Lawrence Yassanye, 09-28-2019
"I wanted to express our sincerest thank you to DJ Jess. She kept the party going and had everyone up and dancing when we thought there wouldn’t be much dancing at all. She checked in with us many times throughout the evening to make sure we were all set and didn’t need anything. We have gotten a lot of compliments for DJ Jess from our guests. Everyone had a great time and we couldn’t have done it without you! Thank you times a million for everything it was an absolute pleasure working with you and we will be sure to send you some referrals!!
"Thanks,"
- Lori Briere, 08-24-2019
"We had Jess Riley as our DJ at our wedding this past August. As soon as we reached out to Jess, she was immediately so responsive & receptive to ANY & ALL ideas we had. We gave Jess ideas of some songs that we like for each different part of our wedding (guests waiting at the ceremony, walking down the aisle, the cocktail hour, dinner, and the reception/party!!!) We sort of had a different theme/idea for each… We gave Jess a few songs we wanted, and somehow she was able to put together these absolutely perfect playlist for every second of the day! We had everything from Bob Dylan & Led Zeppelin, to Leon Bridges, Tribe Called Quest, Missy Elliot… and Jess made everything flow so perfectly. Leading up to the wedding, even a few days before, I would text Jess any random thoughts or ideas as they popped into my head, and even though it was the middle of a busy wedding season for her, she always responded and reassured me she would make it work! Our guests danced ALL NIGHT, no one left the dance floor for hours. Music was important to us and Jess made everything absolutely perfect… Would recommend her to ANY bride, groom, or party with ANY different taste in music, 110%!!! Thanks Jess!
"Love,"
- Michaela & Christopher Horne, 08-02-2019
"I just wanted to let you know that Jess Riley was fantastic. I recommend her highly. She went above & beyond our expectations. She had a keen sense of what music our guests were comfortable with and needed to hear to have a great time. We provided Jess with a list of songs we like and she managed to play them at the right times during the evening. We had guests from age 2 to 82 and Jess managed to keep everyone happy. Please let her know that we appreciate all of her extra work to make our 50th wedding anniversary celebration (which was on the Winnipesaukee Belle on July 19) just perfect."
- Jane & Doug Cook, 07-19-2019
"Big thank you to DJ Jess Riley. She worked a party for me last Friday night. We met before the party to go over details. She was professional, had great ideas, took all of our requests, got the party going and kept it going. Many thanks!!"
- Dott Ferrari, 05-10-2019
"Jess has the skills, the personality, and the drive. Her attention to detail and desire to make every event the best it can possibly be will ensure that she becomes one of the regions best DJs. From Jess' mixing and MC skills and her background in the wedding industry, she knows what it takes to make an event successful. Jess is someone I recommend with 110% confidence."

"Book if you want your guests dancing all night!!! I cannot recommend Jess and Get Down Tonight Entertainment enough. They were so easy to work with to get information on DJ availability and setting up meetings with DJ’s we were interested in. We ended up booking Jess and we are SO glad we did! We gave her a couple songs we wanted, but pretty much let her do her thing and it was the best decision. Our guests are still raving about how amazing she was and how they’ve never been to a wedding where the dance floor was packed all night. We seriously had so much fun dancing with all of our guests and cannot thank Jess enough for making our night perfect!"

"We had DJ Jess Riley for our wedding at Birch Wood Vineyards on 12-04-2021 and she absolutely exceeded my expectations; which were already high after watching Jess’ introductory video through GDTE and after talking to her about how we wanted the day to go. Jess is professional, fun, and completely knows what she is doing. The dance floor was packed the entire night, and most of our guests told us it was the best wedding they've been to— and that was 100% because of Jess. She knows how to read a room and was rocking out with us the entire time. When the majority of your guests go out of their way to say “your DJ is effing AWESOME” you know it’s a good party! I recommend Jess to anyone and will be booking her for any other party I throw in the future!"

"We had the pleasure of hiring DJ Jess Riley. She is fun, great at what she does, and professional. When you meet her it is as if you have known her all your life. We said it would be a once in a lifetime party, but I’m already thinking of having a party next year so we can have Jess DJ for us again. Get Down Tonight Entertainment has great customer service, we appreciate it!!! Thank you!"
- Melanie & Leon Austin, 12-11-2021
"Thank you so much for everything you have done for us! Working with you has been amazing and so easy! Happy to have you celebrating our big day with us!

"Hire ANYONE from this company!!!!
"For our August 29 wedding my husband and I had a whirlwind of a planning process. Like most couples this year we dealt with changing plans and venues. When our original DJ backed out, I called Get Down Tonight, fingers crossed they’d be able to help us with late notice. Tommy was so kind and calm and took away all my worries in minutes. It was so seamless it felt like it was meant to be all along.
Our DJ was Jess Riley and she was incredible. Jess was so fun to communicate with prior to our wedding. Our planning meetings were very well thought out, organized, and Jess took all of our likes and dislikes into thoughtful consideration. Music was the biggest part of our day that each of us had opinions on and Jess made it look easy to handle our vast/eclectic music tastes.
"She also emceed our evening perfectly without any dead air - playing our requested songs at the perfect moments. We couldn’t have asked for anything more.
"Last but not least, my guests did not leave the dance floor. That is the true mark of a great DJ. Thank you Jess and everyone at Get Down Tonight.
If you are looking for a professional DJ and company that is worth your money, look no further."

"We had Jess Riley DJ our wedding last month and OMG
"She was absolutely amazing. From the first time we spoke up until the very last minute of the night, she was there for us. She was very helpful and understanding, especially during this crazy thing called COVID… She was so upbeat and personable towards all of our guests, which we got so many compliments afterwards about her! :) And she certainly did not let us down on the party! Everyone was up on the dance floor groovin all night (and I mean everyone - age 4 to 84!). We highly recommend this DJ service, and especially Jess - She was an absolute gem <3"
- Lexi & Zack Morse, 08-15-2020
"DJ Jess was amazing!
"Finding the right DJ can make or break a wedding! My husband and I both knew that we wanted to throw an amazing reception with as much dancing as possible. We met with a few local DJ companies that just weren’t the right fit for us and began doubting if we were ever going to find the right one. When we met DJ Jess we knew immediately she was the one! She understood our vision for our wedding and made sure to take numerous notes to ensure our day was perfect! The day of our wedding we were so excited to finally get out on the dance floor with our fiends and family and dance the night away. Jess made sure to play what everyone wanted to hear and the dance floor was packed all night long, you can tell she loves what she does! Our guests haven’t stopped telling us how much fun they had and how awesome she was! We loved her so much we booked her for our second wedding celebration this summer! Be sure to meet with her and book her immediately before she books with another couple!"

"Thank you for the incredible job you did providing music and entertainment for Kathryn’s wedding at Manchester Country Club on Saturday. Many of our guests commented on what a great time they had. We were so pleased with everything!
"Thank you",
- Cyrena Mandel, Mother of the Bride, 01-04-2020
"Jess Riley was absolutely amazing! My guests are STILL complimenting her song choices and her talent. She made my wedding so special and really brought all of my guests together. I will be recommending her to all my friends and family!
"Thank you so much for setting me up with Jess, she’s truly got talent!"

"Jess was phenomenal from start to finish during the entire process of selecting a DJ for my wedding. She was responsive every time I had a question or change to the program. We met multiple times before the wedding just because I kept having dreams that everything was going to go horribly wrong and she eased my worries. When the day came, she blew not only me but my guests away too. I can’t count how many people came up to me not only during the wedding but the weeks following to tell me how awesome my DJ was.
"My favorite moment of the night, and proof of the professional that Jess is, was during the bouquet/garter toss. I had, in the weeks before the wedding, told Jess I didn’t want it to be horribly awkward so we had made a plan to flip flop the traditional. Which meant the girl who won the bouquet would put the garter on the guy that caught the garter. But when the time came and I saw the people within my family and friends who caught the bouquet/garter I grabbed Jess with a quick “Abort! Abort! Do the traditional! Let him put the garter on her!” Jess nodded and seamlessly changed plans. No one had any clue, including my husband, what our original plan was. Jess made it seem like that was the plan the entire time.
"Jess made my dream wedding a reality, which was basically a giant family reunion where everyone would dance the entire night. I had a very high standard for what I wanted in a DJ (responsive to my emails/texts, flexibility on play list and what was going in the wedding, being at two locations for ceremony and reception, expertise to be able to guide me through the process because I was clueless, an awesome sound system/playlist, and most importantly being friendly and easy to talk to) and she exceeded all of them.
"Thank you so much Jess!"
- Alanna + Lawrence Yassanye, 09-28-2019
"I wanted to express our sincerest thank you to DJ Jess. She kept the party going and had everyone up and dancing when we thought there wouldn’t be much dancing at all. She checked in with us many times throughout the evening to make sure we were all set and didn’t need anything. We have gotten a lot of compliments for DJ Jess from our guests. Everyone had a great time and we couldn’t have done it without you! Thank you times a million for everything it was an absolute pleasure working with you and we will be sure to send you some referrals!!
"Thanks,"

"We had Jess Riley as our DJ at our wedding this past August. As soon as we reached out to Jess, she was immediately so responsive & receptive to ANY & ALL ideas we had. We gave Jess ideas of some songs that we like for each different part of our wedding (guests waiting at the ceremony, walking down the aisle, the cocktail hour, dinner, and the reception/party!!!) We sort of had a different theme/idea for each… We gave Jess a few songs we wanted, and somehow she was able to put together these absolutely perfect playlist for every second of the day! We had everything from Bob Dylan & Led Zeppelin, to Leon Bridges, Tribe Called Quest, Missy Elliot… and Jess made everything flow so perfectly. Leading up to the wedding, even a few days before, I would text Jess any random thoughts or ideas as they popped into my head, and even though it was the middle of a busy wedding season for her, she always responded and reassured me she would make it work! Our guests danced ALL NIGHT, no one left the dance floor for hours. Music was important to us and Jess made everything absolutely perfect… Would recommend her to ANY bride, groom, or party with ANY different taste in music, 110%!!! Thanks Jess!
"Love,"

"I just wanted to let you know that Jess Riley was fantastic. I recommend her highly. She went above & beyond our expectations. She had a keen sense of what music our guests were comfortable with and needed to hear to have a great time. We provided Jess with a list of songs we like and she managed to play them at the right times during the evening. We had guests from age 2 to 82 and Jess managed to keep everyone happy. Please let her know that we appreciate all of her extra work to make our 50th wedding anniversary celebration (which was on the Winnipesaukee Belle on July 19) just perfect."
- Jane & Doug Cook, 07-19-2019
"Big thank you to DJ Jess Riley. She worked a party for me last Friday night. We met before the party to go over details. She was professional, had great ideas, took all of our requests, got the party going and kept it going. Many thanks!!"
- Dott Ferrari, 05-10-2019
"Jess has the skills, the personality, and the drive. Her attention to detail and desire to make every event the best it can possibly be will ensure that she becomes one of the regions best DJs. From Jess' mixing and MC skills and her background in the wedding industry, she knows what it takes to make an event successful. Jess is someone I recommend with 110% confidence."
