JJDJ Entertainment was absolutely wonderful. There were no breaks in songs. When I wanted to put 2 different songs together for the father/daughter dance, John had excellent skills in making it turn out just right. Everyone had a wonderful time at the wedding because of the music flow that was put together. And John also did a great job with keeping us in check with our timeline, even if he had to stop what he was doing to come find us everytime. haha Thanks JJDJ Entertainment!! You will be highly recommended to anyone looking for the best in dj entertainment. Thanks again!!

The 2011 National Debate Dance was hosted by JJDJ Entertainment, with students from all over The United States we received these kind words...
The students had a great time! The music was appropriate and everyone enjoyed the dance. It was great to work with you. Thanks for making the party so fabulous!

Mrs. Novosel wrote us yet another review!
I can not rave enough about John Caniford DJing our wedding. Not only did his form help me plan my wedding from the start, but when I had to change things last minute, he made quick changes and made it feel like it had been that way all along! He went with the flow and kept the crowd dancing without being corny like some other DJ's. He even took HD videos for us when he noticed we didn't have a videographer, for FREE! I HIGHLY recommend JJDJ Entertainment and will be recommending him to all my friends getting married as well! Very nice and cool DJ!

Mr and Mrs Wu LOVED us! Read what they had to say...
John did a fantastic job. Even before the wedding, we met several times and he was very detailed in planning. He suggested several ideas to help liven up the party as well. Very professional and courteous. He definitely can tell how the event is going and what to do in case the people aren't out on the dance floor. We loved everything about his DJ services and we had a great time. Lots of our guests were complimenting us on our DJ and what a fantastic job he did. We remember everything! :) Thanks John and JJDJ!!! Cheers! Gene and Victoria Wu

Ashley & James Bender danced the night away at their wedding and said this about their special evening...
JJDJ Entertainment did an amazing job! They were our most prepared vendor and contacted me multiple times to talk and coordinate before the wedding. Their professionalism was unmatched. They showed up super early to set up and was on top of the schedule the whole evening. They played awesome music and kept the dance floor hopping all night! They also did an amazing job with the lighting and the MC’ing. Also, their prices cannot be beat. I would recommend them without reservation for any event that you host.

Sherando High School kicked off our 2011 Prom Tour, and they said this about their 2011 Prom...
JJDJ Entertainment did an outstanding job at the Sherando's Prom...The reviews we heard back from the kids were positive. The show was great!! Students were up dancing, but yet there was some form of "crowd control." The lights really added to the experience.

Sherando HS Prom
Stuart Draft High School wanted to really change things up from previous proms, they wanted to rock with the best and thats exactly what they did!
I would rate JJDJ Entertainment with a ten out of ten. The entire show was engaging to the students for the entire night.

Nancy wrote this about her daughters sweet 16 party...
You did a great job. Everyone had a blast. When the dancing started to die down a little you did a great job of mixing up the songs to get them going again. We really enjoyed having you dj for us.

Gina has this to say about her daughter's Sweet 16 we did!
I just wanted to say that John did a fantastic job with the music at my daughter's party! Every song that I had requested was played and the kids seemed to have a great time. My 19 year old son, and some of his friends, were there and they said they wished they had a DJ like this at their parties back in high school! I highly recommend John and encourage everyone to give him a try. Yo will not be disappointed! Thanks for making Tori's party a success!
