What customers have to say about Jillian...
"The entire experience with Jillian was amazing from start to finish! She was easy to stay in touch with during the months leading up to the wedding over email and text message, and she immediately understood what we wanted for sound for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception and helped us think through the details. At our wedding reception, she was an amazing emcee and kept the crowd dancing all night. We had special micing needs for our reception entrance and Jillian easily figured out how to make the logistics work the way we wanted (and balanced our mics on the spot). When you book Jillian, ask her to sing a few numbers -- her voice is amazing! Jenny and I would book Jillian as a DJ again for any future event. You'll be in good hands!"

"We had a great experience with Get Down Tonight Entertainment and our DJ, Jillian. She was wonderful! Such a kind and warm person! We loved that she also has an amazing singing voice and completely WOWed our guests by singing some songs during the reception! It was amazing!
"Jillian! You were fantastic. Thank you for making our day special! Even after just our brief interactions throughout the night, I am a big fan of yours & wish you so much happiness in life & your career!"
- Ashley Twigg
"Amazing DJ and host. We had MANY guests saying she was the best DJ they have ever seen and heard.
"The entire day was so enjoyable and perfect and Jillian played a huge role in that from the Ceremony all the way until the end of dancing. Extremely accommodating and a pleasure to work with."
- Alex DeRossi
"Jillian was the DJ for our wedding and I cannot speak enough good things about her! She was absolutely amazing! She could read the crowd so well, got and kept everyone dancing and having fun, got out on the floor and danced with us, and even sang which was amazing. She is literally the best DJ I have ever seen at an event. You rock, Jillian!!!"
- Lindsay Fortune and Alan Green
"Jillian was amazing!
"Having to scramble and find a DJ 2.5 months before my wedding, due to my former DJ not working out, is certainly a stressful situation. After reaching out to several companies, I found Jillian! I just can't believe I did not go with Get Down Tonight from the beginning! I don't have many wedding regrets, but this certainly was one of them. From the very first phone call with Jillian, my husband and I felt very comfortable and reassured that we made the right decision, in hiring Jillian. Jillian accommodated all of our requests (and I sure can be picky!) I would recommend hiring Jillian Mann for any event you have. She is so sweet and genuine, I just love her!"

"We had Jillian as a DJ for our wedding, and she was amazing! She was great from the very beginning keeping in touch and answering all of my questions. She sang during cocktail hour and dinner and let me tell you her voice is stunning! My guests were so amazed that she was singing, and they loved her voice. Once it was time to dance, she kept the dance floor packed! Everyone loved her and she danced all night with us. It was so much fun, and I definitely recommend her for any function you need a DJ!"
~ Mariah Dunn
"My husband and I booked Jillian from GDTE for our wedding ceremony and reception, and she was phenomenal! She was very communicative with us about what songs we wanted for our wedding, and made sure that our requests were played! Jillian also gave great suggestions when we weren't sure what song we wanted played for things like cake cutting, and worked with us during the evening to keep everything going smoothly. She was very good at reading the room, easily balancing upbeat songs with slower ones as people needed to rest.
"Jillian also had a great idea for opening the dance floor that was a ton of fun! Ask her about the "Girls vs Boys sweet caroline" contest :) She was also very accommodating to our request to play the Shoe Game, and had flip-flops and questions ready in her kit. Additionally, she is a talented singer and offered to sing a few songs for the reception - she was AMAZING!
"We highly recommend GDTE and Jillian for your event - she was perfectly professional and punctual, and incredibly easy to talk to and work with!"
~ Amelia and Stephen
"Jillian is a consummate professional. With little direction, she performed an unbelievably moving ceremony. She has a voice with ethereal qualities that gave me goosebumps before I was about to walk down the aisle. I have received so many compliments about her singing; I couldn't have wished for a better vocalist at my ceremony."
~ Alyson Christopher Holloway, Bride
“We were so glad to have Jillian sing & DJ, at our wedding! The music at the church & reception were very important to us. Jillian was so accommodating & flexible, with our every need. It's important to have vendors go above & beyond to help your special day come together. That is exactly what Jillian did for us! Her work was amazing -- truly brought the whole thing together! Thanks, Jillian!”
~ Megan & Matt Fulmer, Bride & Groom
“Jillian’s voice has a lovely, unique, and rich quality. Hearing her sing ‘Ave Maria’ truly moved me.”
~ Jackie Fontaine, Mother of the Bride
“When she took the floor to sing for us, she sang with a style and flair all her own. She was comfortable and equally adept in any genre, whether it was rock, R&B, disco, or anything else. We highly recommend Jillian for any event!”
~ Christine and Tim Croce
"Jillian was amazing!!! To give you an idea of just how great she was, I hired a Santa to visit with the kids, and he ended up taking a back seat to Jillian’s music and singing:) It was a great night (after a long year for these kids) and Jillian was a joy to work with!"
