    Need a DJ? You can't go wrong with Joe Ward Entertainment.

    Joe Ward has DJ'd our Holiday Karaoke party for the last 5 years, and always does a great job. Very prepared, and professional; he's always at the top of his game.
    I'd highly recommend Joe to anyone planning a music oriented event.

    JJ Ward, Incredible Wedding Day Entertainment

    All we can say is that we would defiantly recommend JJ Ward Event & Entertainment. Joe Ward is the best around. He made our wedding day entertainment absolutely amazing and stress free day. Joe is extremely personable and professional. Joe has incredible preparation skills, from his many years of experience, especially paying attention to every little detail from lighting to music selection and all the special request we had. Joe expert execution of the evening made it worry free for us and we knew he had it under control. Joe kept our guest dancing right up until the end of the night.

    Fun DJ! Really brings the party!

    JJ Ward was a pleasure to work with from the beginning! We met with Joe and instantly knew we were in good hands; excellent conversations and ideas from his experience helped make our decision-making easy. We were fortunate to get married at a location that held both the ceremony and reception in three different spaces, both indoors and outdoors, and JJ Ward thought of every need in every space and came prepared. We were also provided an open concept photo booth that the guests loved! Guests were constantly using it during the dancing portion of the evening - many could take a photo together at one time and there is a feature to send the photos straight to your phone! We are so happy with JJ Ward's openness to our music and lighting desires, and could not be more grateful for all they have done!

    Excellent Entertainment

    JJ Ward Events and Entertainment did an amazing job from start to finish. They played all of the songs that we chose and they added a great mix of their own selections. Our guests danced all night with us and it was a wonderful time. We also had the picture booth which everyone loved. Joe got those pictures to us within a week so we could see all of our guests photos.

    JJ Ward Events & Entertainment is the best DJ service we have experienced! Their top-knotch online site is used from booking to planning and makes the entire process so easy and streamlined. It guides this company to their set standard of event entertainment and I was truly impressed. Joe Ward and our DJ Steve Skalish reached out to us as soon as we began booking and were very helpful with the planning process. Then, we had our wedding. Steve Skalish dj'd our wedding. He was terrific! He was very professional, super well-spoken, he played everything that was planned and flawlessly. Then, when it came time to really dance, no one sat all night. We had the offered lighting and it added to it, it was terrific! We got so many compliments from everyone in the banquet and even passers-by that our DJ Steve Skalish was awesome, everyone had a fantastic time, and passers-by wanted Steve's name. We wanted everyone to have fun and dance all night, and that's exactly what happened! The music was super, Steve picked the best songs for all ranges of ages, and most of our guests danced all night which is really unheard of. Steve also had all music for requests that were asked of him. I will certainly use JJ Ward events and entertainment for all our DJ needs, and I will be requesting Steve Skalish every time!!! We are beyond happy with this company and with Steve.

    My wife and I met Joe at a wedding last year, and immediately knew he had to be the dj for our wedding. He was fun, energetic, and kept our whole family on their feet all night. There was no pressure, and he did everything exactly as we asked. His input was invaluable when planning everything, and not just with the music. Joe has been there, done that, and seen it all. I look forward to working with JJ Ward Events & Entertainment for several more family functions we have coming up.

    We had a wonderful experience with JJ Ward. His attention to detail is great, and his attention to keeping my guests on their feet all night was even greater! I could not be happier, and highly recommend this company. My sister will be using him next year for her wedding as well.

    I dont know what to say except JJ Ward made my party. From his set up, to his interaction with everyone to his unbelievable music selection. My party wouldn't have been the same without him. Its a shame I can only give him 5 stars, because I would definitely give him more.

    Joe did a fabulous job with the lighting and music. A wedding is stressful enough But I felt comfortable leaving all of the music and lighting up to Joe. He is top notch, worth every penny, and very accommodating. I will definitely be using him again in the future for other events.

    Hiring JJ Ward to DJ my wedding was a special moment. He also DJ'd my parents wedding 21 years ago. I cannot tell you how amazing it was to see my parents dancing to their wedding song, with the same dj all those years later. While he played every song we wanted, and none of the ones we didn't. Joe was fantastic as an emcee, and his calm demeanor made some stressful moments much easier... which matters a lot at your wedding. As far as our advance meetings, he was always on time, and kept things on focus, while maintaining a light-hearted atmosphere. We found this very reassuring. My husband is not a big dancer, but Joe had him dancing! It was such a fun time!!!

    JJ Ward Events & Entertainment is a pleasure to work with. Joe's song selection is perfect from cocktail hour through the last dance of the night. Our guests went home with sore feet, that's for sure! Preparation is everything in life, and Joe came well prepared to give us everything we hoped our wedding reception would be, and then he gave us some more. I do want to add that the planning process was a breeze. He thought of everything when designing his forms, which made it all go so much easier than I suspect it could have gone. Thanks for a great job!

    Exemplary , professional , works with any budget and at any venue

    I’m upset that I can only give Joe a 5/5. I didn’t know Joe and his company before my wedding but all of my friends told me there is not a better DJ in the wedding business . They told me if the services he offered during the reception and his price made him seem like a no brainer. We met with Joe 3 times before the wedding and he never rushed us and answered all of our questions. If your going to get married you want it memorable and Joe did this. My guests were texting me for weeks after the wedding about how much fun they had and how amazing the music and MC were. Sometimes the DJ wants to talk the whole time , this wasn’t the case . The music was loved by my guests of all ages . My mother in law wanted a song played that was impossible to find and Joe went out of his way and found it in an old record shop. Joe was also able to recommend a great florist and limo company . JJ WARD really is the best of the best. He handles all details himself and doesn’t push Jobs off to his staff . He takes great pride in his appearance , voice and overall professionalism . No matter your budget or party type I recommend JJ Ward 10000%. I stopped in the corner at one point and just stared at my guests dancing and singing at my celebration and never felt happier . Thank you JJ WARD.

    We used JJ Ward events last night (January 13th, 2018) for my mother’s surprise birthday party. Joe went out of his way from day 1 on suggestions and worked with us on songs we wanted played. The day of Joe was extremely early and set everything up perfect, like how he’d want his party set up. He made sure it was the best experience and we couldn’t recommend him enough. You’ve seen the rest, book the best!

    From the beginning stages of booking a DJ to the day of the wedding, Joe was accommodating, professional and honest. He is a well-seasoned DJ that knows how to keep the party alive. I felt very confident letting him work his magic and control the flow of the reception. Thanks for everything!!

    Joe was absolutely fantastic. Our wedding was flawless. Everything went exactly as we hoped it would, and I credit Joe Ward with making that happen. He was great to work with every step of the way. He helped us make some great choices, and convinced us to not do some things that were not great choices. His experience really was the difference for us.

    Wow! JJ Ward Events & Entertainment was incredibly professional, incredibly easy to communicate with, and kept the guests at my wedding dancing all night.... even during dinner!, which is something i haven't seen happen before. We met and hired him 12 months before the wedding, then met with him twice more to finalize details along the way. We worked with Dj JJ Ward directly, He was very responsive, and his attention to detail made everything much easier to deal with. He played all of our requests, and didn't play any of the songs on our do not play list (which was admittedly long). I can't say enough good things about our experience with Joe. Our friends are still talking about what a great time they had at our wedding, 8 months later.

    His pricing is great, and he provides a lot more than what the price indicates. We are so incredibly happy with how our reception went under the guidance and expertise of JJ Ward Events & Entertainment. We loved the lighting he provided, and the fact that he was so easy to talk to was a huge plus.

    Song selection is so important when tryng to give people a good time at ANY party. It is so much more important at a wedding. JJ Ward Events was a pleasure to work with, and knew the right songs to play at the right time. Everything was planned out to perfection for the music, and Joe Ward under-promised, but over-delivered. Everything really seemed like it just flowed naturally, but I know how much planning went into creating that perfect atmosphere. I suggest paying attention to his lighting recommendations. The lights really set the mood at various parts of the party; added a nice little dramatic flair.

    Joe and his team did an amazing job! The professionalism demonstrated was above and beyond. Our photo booth was the hit of the event. Everyone enjoyed their evening and Joe made it happen. Without hesitation, I would highly recommend JJ Ward for all of your entertainment needs.
