Uplighting is the art of painting with light to create a truly amazing background for the most beautiful and well planned days of your lives together as a couple.

Uplighting brings your wedding to life, dresses, your flowers, your design and the room will all work together to create an inviting entertaining space.

The secret lies in the type of lighting, where to place the lighting, and using it to enhance and boost the already beautiful aspects of your wedding.

JJDJ Entertainment handled the Lighting and Sound for our wedding. They completely redesigned the room with uplighting, monogramming, video screens, and truss structures! They really personalized our wedding with the 2 huge videos screen creating slideshows of my fiancee' and I as well as different slide shows for each of the parent dances. I'll never forget the moment my mother and I had while dancing together looking at photos of us as I grew up. It was such an amazing job done by their entire staff! The dance floor lighting was amazing! A++++ all the way around!

JJDJ was recommended by a few friends after they attended another wedding John performed at. We could not have been happier with John's performance from the initial meeting all the way through days after the event. He made it a point to get to know our personalities and what our goals were for our reception. John's helpful wedding program guided us through many options that ensured we would not miss anything we may want during the reception. We came up with some items that may have added work for John but he never flinched and performed spectacularly at the reception. John and his fiancé Tracy kept all of our guests on their feet from beginning to end. A nice touch in the days after the wedding were some quick videos JJDJ put together with some highlights from our reception. With official photographs and videos for the wedding at least weeks away, it was a great surprise to get something so soon that reflected the great party we all experienced. We can't thank Tracy, John and JJDJ Entertainment enough for their large part in a reception that will always be remembered by us, our guests, the staff at Key Bridge Marriott and anyone else that could see the awesome light shows coming from the top floor of the Marriott that night. We've already recommended JJDJ and will continue to do so for any event needed DJ services. We can't wait to work with them again soon.

John was great and easy to work with. He was very thorough throughout the pre-reception process. Asked all sorts of questions about our likes, dislikes, our backgrounds, and etc... There was a detailed checklist we had to fill out in order to make things flow smoothly. I like that. I heard John was early at our reception area and already was setup long before the guests arrived for cocktail hour. He had all the bells and whistles when it comes to a dj service without the cheese. Very professional. Very courteous. The price was well worth it and definitely less expensive than those "other" dj services. We definitely give John 5 stars for a perfect dj wedding service. Cheers!

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!

John did an amazing job! He was our most prepared vendor and contacted me multiple times to talk and coordinate before the wedding. His professionalism was unmatched. He showed up super early to set up and was on top of the schedule the whole evening. He played awesome music and kept the dance floor hopping all night! He also did an amazing job with the lighting and the MC'ing. Also, his prices cannot be beat. I would recommend him without reservation for any event that you host.

John was great; what an awesome DJ! He was so enjoyable and easy to work with from the beginning planning process all the way through to our wedding day. John made himself available to meet with us several times to go over details. We requested a few specific songs, but then left the rest to John, and let me tell you, he did an absolutely fantastic job! From the music to the lighting, the dance floor was packed the entire time! John also made sure that all involved with the venue had a timeline and stayed connected throughout the event. From our ceremony to our reception, John did a fabulous job and ensured all was a smooth success. We received tons of compliments on John's DJ-ing and have friends who will be using him as well. Thank You so much, John!!

John from JJDJ Entertainment was amazing all around! He worked with us through every step of the way planning our wedding. He kept up with us and all our changes, was there to offer suggestions, and come up with an amazing light design for our wedding. At first we didn't want to go the light route we didn't want to have that "corny" look, but after he showed us some things his lights and design team could do, we were sold. His professionalism is top notch and his entire team was amazing when it came to pulling off the perfect wedding! After it was all over I didnt feel like I had networked with another vendor, I felt like I had a friend!
