  P.H.E.N.O.M.E.N.A.L!!!!! Best DJ to get the crowd hyped up!

  We saw Jonathan performing at a friend's wedding last year and knew immediately we wanted him! He made everything so easy and explained how we didn't have to choose every song throughout the evening, that he reads the crowd and knows when to change to song or when the crowd loves what he's playing. He sang Andrea Bocelli at dinner that brought tears to almost everyone's eyes. He entertained the crowd and they absolutely loved him! Highly recommend!

  Did he just say Canada?

  So here is the thing... I have known Johnathan for a long long time, he has been an amazing DJ that I have seen play countless times. Needless to say he has been a good friend and has always been my "Dream DJ". When my now wife and I became engaged we decided we wanted to get married in the Maritimes of Canada.
  
  Well, as we are both from Sarasota this makes things a little more difficult... We both work in the wedding industry we are very fortunate to know what we think are the best vendors in the area. We were a little out of our comfort zone having this all done in Canada, not only did we not know many vendors there but we were also challenged with finding the best talent to make our day amazing. And let me tell you we were having allot of trouble finding a good DJ...
  
  Not to dive into too many details, but a few months after we were engaged we were lamenting about how we would LOVE to have Jonathan up there and how he is the perfect DJ for what we were looking for. Then what felt like the next day we got a call... Johnathan was willing to travel all the way from Sarasota to New Brunswick Canada!
  
  As Johnathan is a true legend in the Sarasota area we could not believe our fortune. As everyone who books with Johnathan knows, he is not just a DJ... he is a true performer. As a singer, Johnathan performs incredible and powerful songs, and often times you wont even notice its him singing. You will hear the music and think "Wow thats really good" then turn and look and BAM! You see Johnathan doing what he does best.
  
  Our day was incredible.... Johnathan has a way of making his events so special. We danced the night away, and had the most incredible and memorable time of both my and my wife's lives.
  
  All of this to say that I can't recommend him enough. And Johnathan! Thank you again, you really made everything extra special.

  The Bride - He made our wedding an absolute blast!

  Best night of my life and the best wedding decision I made was having Jonathan Cortez perform at my reception and after party. I can’t thank him enough for the good vibes all night long! He is exceptional and I truly feel like he made the entire night. Not only is he an amazing dj he is such a talented performer guests could hardly believe he wasn’t lip singing, because he is THAT good. The only thing I would have done differently is put him right in the middle of the dance floor when he performed! He made my after party “Club Opps” dreams come true and our friends and family are still talking about the amazing time they had. Even our older relatives stayed until midnight. If I can give you any advice - I personally would not have a wedding unless Jonathan was there.

  God bless and congratulations!

  Best Entertainer Out There!

  I came across Jonathan 10+ years ago at a friends wedding and knew if my day ever came, I'd hire him! He is so talented, singing everything from Michael Buble to Etta James. Your DJ sets the mood for the wedding and Jonathan knocks it out of the park! I'd hire him 100 times over!!!

  A++ - Best DJ Ever!

  Thanks to our wedding coordinator/planner Kim Frazer’s referral I hired Jonathan for our daughter’s wedding. He was amazing!!! Jonathan provided a level of entertainment/DJ services that exceeded our expectations. He handled the flow of the evening flawlessly, and kept guests dancing. His voice and vocal range is phenomenal; even received a standing ovation from our guests. But, he wasn’t flashy about his talent and made sure the spotlight was still on the bride & groom. Our guests are still raving about how wonderful the wedding was—Jonathan was a huge factor of that success. Do not have your If you want your wedding to be spectacular hire Jonathan Cortez (and Kim Frazer from The Perfect Dress). You’ll be thrilled you did.

  Oh Fanny, thank you very much for such a lovely testimonial. What my clients and their families think about my performance at their wedding means a great deal to me so I truly appreciate you leaving this review of your own accord. I had a wonderful time performing at your daughter's wedding but more importantly, I'm thankful that everyone else can say they had a wonderful time too! Thx again.

  10/10 experience

  Due to 2020 we unfortunately had to cancel our large wedding and decided to host a small wedding outdoors. Jonathan was the perfect fit as he was able to provide an entertainment factor with his singing. We didn’t realize how much our guests would enjoy him! He was a great addition to our night and we are so glad we went with him! All of our guests had such a blast and couldn’t stop talking about how amazing he was. If you’re debating whether to book him or not, this is your sign!

  Thanks so much for the lovely testimonial Sofia.
  Your crowd was a blast to perform for and in my experience, guests have more fun when they see that the entertainer is having fun too! Thank you for having me. I was honored to be part of your special day.

  Jonathan is the BEST DJ I have ever seen! He is truly one of a kind! Hire him!

  I got connected to Jonathan through my father who has been using him as his DJ for the last 10 years for all of his office parties. I knew Jonathan was good when my dad told me they have changed the dates of their office parties to accommodate Jonathan’s busy schedule. After having him as our wedding DJ I can see why.
  
  Jonathan was an outstanding DJ on every level. He masterfully coordinated a multicultural wedding with Arabic and English music. He prepared in advance by getting our non-English language music and learned them as if they were his own songs. He was professional and courteous with everyone he interacted with. On top of being so pleasant to be around, he is a stunningly talented artist with an incredible voice that transitions among any genre effortlessly. Out of everything in our wedding, we received the most compliments for our DJ. Everyone was blown away his artistry and no one could believe it when he started singing!! The man can really sing! He truly made our wedding magical. If having fun at your reception is important to you, you must hire him!!! The DJ makes it a party. He kept everyone dancing all night!!!!!
  
  Hiring him was the best decision we made for our wedding!

  The Best One Around!

  Jonathan Cortez, is hands down the best performer you’ll ever come across!! He truly makes everyone’s head turn throughout the wedding, because he shocks you with his amazing singing voice! When making our rounds during the reception and saying hello to everyone. The first thing out of everyone’s mouth was “where did you find him, he’s amazing.”
  I’ve been to two other Weddings that Jonathan was the Performer at. So when I got engaged and picked a date, he was literally the first person I called and booked!!
  After I got married and spoke with all my Family and Friends, one thing everyone complimented was Jonathan. No one could get over how talented he was!
  I had family from New York at my Wedding and they asked him for his business card. They said they would fly him to NY in a heart beat for a wedding.
  The week before we got married, my Husband and I had a conference call with Jonathan. We talked and got to know each other, discussed songs, music we like/dislike, and timelines of the evening. During the wedding Jonathan did everything and more than we asked for.
  If you’re looking to get everyone out on the dance floor and have people talking about your wedding forever! Jonathan Cortez is the person you need!!!
  He is way way more than 5 ⭐️ s!
  Jonathan, We can’t thank you enough for doing the amazing job that you did and making our Wedding a night to remember!!

  Jonathan Cortez did an outstanding job at our beach wedding last month! He is a true professional and extremely easy to work with. He is very easy-going and does whatever is necessary to ensure everyone is having a great time. We hadn't had the pleasure of hearing Jonathan live before so we were a bit nervous, but as soon as he sang his first note you should have seen our faces, and all 104 people at the wedding! Peoples jaws were dropping, and he instantly became the life of the party! He can sing any genre and do it well! He did a great job mixing and timing when to play songs and when to sing.
  If you are looking at Jonathan for an event, just know you do not need to worry, the guests and you will be amazed at the experience.
  
  Thanks for a great wedding JAC

  Jonathan is absolutely amazing! Not only does go above and beyond to make the most of your event he is truly an amazing person. He takes the time to get to know you and is able to customize your music according to who you are. He has an amazing voice that will blow your guest away and leave you feeling like you were at a live concert for multiple artist! He has a way of keeping your dance floor packed, a smile constantly on your face and a great vibe going all night long! We even chanted for more songs when my venue time ended because he was simply amazing. During my ceremony, Jonathan sang my processional songs and was absolutely phenomenal and my first dance still tears me up! He is a great person, a hard worker and an amazing artist! He even traveled 4 hours after a wedding to accommodate my wedding the next day! Couldn’t have asked for a better musician! He is worth way more than a 5 star rating, simply off the charts! :)

  Jonathan is the WOW factor at any wedding. We saw him at our friend's wedding in Chicago, and knew we had to have him at our wedding at Gervasi Vineyard in Canton, OH. Jonathan is pure entertainment! He covers Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson, and many others to the point where you think the original artist is singing right behind you throughout dinner. Then, once you move to the dance floor he's belting out the Weekend, Bruno Mars, and all the top hits you want to dance to. We submitted a list of artists and songs prior to the wedding, and left it up to Jonathan to keep the dance floor packed - which he did! Jonathan also respected our 'please don't play this artist/song which I appreciated. Jonathan put together a cool, down tempo playlist for prior to the ceremony as people arrived, and also took care of the special request songs like the hora (Jewish chair dance), Tagledel (Italian wedding song) and mother-son dance. Finally, and perhaps most importantly - we asked Jonathan a huge favor in regard to our first dance song. We chose a fast, EDM song and asked him to find a way to break it down into a slow dance that he could sing live. He NAILED IT! It was literally once of the most unforgettable moments of our wedding. I can't thank him enough for making our wedding what our friends called 'the wedding of the century!.' I give the bulk of the credit to Jonathan for putting his heart and soul into his performance at our wedding.

  Jonathan is the WOW factor at any wedding. We saw him at our friend's wedding in Chicago, and knew we had to have him at our wedding at Gervasi Vineyard in Canton, OH. Jonathan is pure entertainment! He covers Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson, and many others to the point where you think the original artist is singing right behind you throughout dinner.

  Thanks for such a fantastic testimonial Jennifer! It's important to me that potential clients understand the sheer amount of time and effort I put into each performance so that every event is perfect! I had such a great time performing for you all and thanks for treating me like family! All the best.

  This is the third time I have hired Jonathan. Just when you thought he could not get any better than the last time he does!!! He performed for my Son's wedding this past weekend and he was over the top awesome. Our guest were in awe with what a great entertainer Jonathan is. Please don't compare him to a DJ. He was worth every dollar and more!!! Thank you Jonathan Cortez you "Rocked it"!

  Thanks so much for this testimonial Rick. I think people sometimes don't realize that I not simply a DJ but rather a full on entertainer! Entertaining is my passion and I am so pleased that comes forth at my events. I had a blast entertaining you all and thanks again for having me!

  I witnessed Jonathan live at my friends wedding in Florida 4 years ago. I told myself if/when I ever get married I will fly him up (to Ohio), to have him perform for us. I was lucky enough to find the love of my life and get married this past weekend (May 20, 2017). Jonathan not only lived up to his previous performance 4 years ago, but exceeded our expectations even further. He took our wedding to another level. Total game changer. Thanks again!!!

  George thanks so much for such an awesome review. I was flattered that you would go to such lengths to fly me out and perform at your wedding. It was a fun night and I am glad everyone enjoyed the performance. All the best my friend.

  As a couple who had attended many weddings prior to our own, it was obvious that a major hope for us that our music needed to inspire guests of all ages to get on the dance floor throughout the night. Jonathan had our grandparents dancing side by side with our college friends for hours on end.
  
  Jonathan is a consumate professional who takes his responsibilities very seriously. Prior to our wedding, my bride, Jonathan and I sat on a long conference call to walk through every aspect of our wedding. He made sure to think of all the details we may have not thought of (microphones for readers, music at all the right times, etc.) He also took what we wanted and made sure it was all incorporated. While there were a few songs we did request and wanted to hear (which he was quick to oblige) the best move we probably made was letting Jonathan use his expertise in reading the room and what the party dictated and playing the music he thought was best. He knew what kind of music we liked from our conference call but was able to mix in the perfect genres at the perfect times, which kept 75+ people on the dance floor the entire night. I haven't even mentioned his vocal prowess yet, which is amazing. He was able to complete a range of ballads that even usual bands or vocalists would be hard pressed to accomplish.
  
  The music for your wedding can set the tone for the entire event, and Jonathan did just that. I would highly recommend him for any wedding or event you may have.

  Wow!!! David, thank you for this incredible testimonial. It truly makes me appreciate my clients and what I do even more when I read such heartfelt expressions.

  I don’t have a large enough repository of superlatives to describe Jonathan’s talents and professionalism. To say he rocked our wedding would be a gross understatement. Jonathan has such incredible range, expertly singing Bocelli’s Time to Say Goodbye one minute, Bill Wither’s Lovely Day the next, and everything from Maroon 5 to Journey to Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder. He had our guests on the dance floor for four solid hours! To consider him a DJ would be an injustice to his talents as a vocalist. Jonathan is a pure singer first and foremost. He is well worth his fee. Your guests will be talking about him days after your reception.

  Oh Mike, thank you so much. It is always such a boost for me to see that my client believe in my abilities this much and it is greatly appreciated. Your personal account and testimony to what I do truly helps other future brides and grooms to realize that I am working hard to provide something unique and special to this industry. Thanks again and God Bless my friend!

  I am a meeting planner and have used Jonathan Cortez for many events professionally. So when I planned my wedding he was the first one I called. As predicted, Jonathan was amazing. He can sing songs performed by Andrea Bocelli to Frank Sinatra. During our dinner set he sang songs in every genres of music. My husband commented the day after the wedding that he knew people would dance, but never expected everyone to dance every song. My guest list included people from 13 to 68 and he connected with all of them. No matter how well I planned my wedding reception, Jonathan was the one who made it a complete success.

  Jonathan was the best vendor we decided on for our wedding! He blew are guest minds immediately! During our dinner he sang beautifully and blew us out of the water with his opera at the end of dinner! Our guests were applauding an amazement. Dancing is one of my favorite hobbies and I had nightmares (from attending many other weddings) that the dance floor would be empty at times, which was unacceptable to me! Well my nightmare did not come true as Jonathan had my guests including my husband and I on the dance-floor from beginning to last song! Boy were we upset for it to end! My guests just continue to ask "Where did you find him!?" Thank you Jonathan for meeting every expectation!

  Jonathan did an incredible job! Everyone at our wedding was commenting on how fun he was, especially loving that he could sing too! Having him sing our first dance was one of my favorite parts of the evening. We would recommend Jonathan to anyone! :)
