    Jarrett Genovese and the entire Engage Entertainment team are incredible! Do not think of going anywhere else!! They were well organized, professional, fun and bring a huge amount of life to the party!! We got married 10.14.23 in Scottsdale and my wife and I could not have asked for a more perfect night. While thinking of our wedding vision we knew we wanted a night club atmosphere and everyone on the dance floor all night, there is not a better person than Jarrett to handle that task! Everyone was on the dance floor the entire night!! Our guests could not stop telling us that this was the best wedding they had ever been to.
    Before dinner was even served, all of our friends and family kept coming up saying “this is so much fun and we haven’t even had dinner yet!”. Jarrett was extremely helpful during the entire planning process. The planning tools and resources they provide to their clients helps bring their vision to life. While planning Jarrett was honest, provided great feedback and recommendations for everything. He is very knowledgeable and knew what would work best with our venue space. He spent time getting to know us and sat down with us several times before the wedding to go over the entire day which helped the day run so smoothly! The DJ booth and production they set up was amazing and fit the room perfectly! From the wedding entrances to the after party, Jarrett and the Engage team did an incredible job, we had the best night and danced the night away with all our family and friends. Thank you again Jarrett & the Engage team. You made our vision come to life and it was the most incredible night!

    We couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our wedding! Jarrett was professional, personable, and made sure the music matched the vibe we wanted. The playlist was absolutely perfect!! He helped my husband and I when we were lost or overwhelmed with the planning and picking of songs for the big moments.

    We had multiple guests come up to us and say they loved how hyped our grand entrance was and loved the DJ. Engage truly helped make our day extra special!!

    Jarrett was the key piece in setting the tone for our special day. Everyone I talked to after the wedding could not stop talking about how good of a job he did. Jarrett not only lived up to the hype but also was great about listening to our vision and weighing in with his expertise. The energy was delivered and the dance floor was packed. Could not have been better.

    We had Jarrett with Engage Entertainment as our DJ for our wedding on October 26. I can’t recommend him enough. From the planning process to executing everything we had visioned for our music and party - everything was great. If you want someone that can get all of your guests on the dance floor with you and knows how to throw a party, Jarrett is your guy! I wish we could do it again we had so much fun!

    We cannot say enough good things about Jarrett and Engage Entertainment! An amazing DJ was at the top of our priority list when planning our wedding. We knew we wanted to have the best party with the dance floor going all night. Let me tell you DJ Vera DELIVERED. He kept the party going for our four hour dance floor playing hit after hit with the best mixes!! We had friends and family telling us all night and the days after that it was the most fun they’ve ever had at a wedding! From the very beginning Jarret went above and beyond. He had the best tips going over all the details and we fully trusted him to make the reception epic. We wish we could go back and relive it over and over again! You will absolutely not regret going with Engage Entertainment and DJ Vera!!

    My husband and I are SO glad we went with Engage Entertainment! Before our wedding, our original DJ unfortunately could not do the job anymore. Tyler was extremely communicative, called me immediately and talked through our options. That’s when we were matched up with Jarrett! Jarrett was kind, professional, high energy and really great at what he does! We had the BEST time! So many people were on the dance floor! Highly recommend!

  • Dave & Brittany

    The DJ/MC was the most important vendor for my wife and I on our wedding day. I can confidently say we made the absolute BEST CHOICE going with Engage Entertainment. Our first meeting with Tyler went great. He walked us through all the different packages and options. He then paired us with who I believe to be the best wedding DJ/MC I’ve ever seen - JARRETT. With us both being Jersey natives, my wife and I trusted Jarrett would know how to bring the Jersey club vibes to our wedding. He exceeded our expectations. From our call with him 30 days out, to the week leading up to the wedding, all the way to the last song of the night- Jarrett took care of us and made sure everything went our way from start to finish. Some highlights included: Being extremely detail oriented when going through the music portal and timeline, making sure our recessional song started at just the right moment, transitioning our first dance song into an amazing beat drop to open the dance floor & knowing when the right times were to fire up the cold sparks. His professionalism and attention to detail had us extremely impressed. He did a fantastic job mixing all of our music requests and prioritizing EDM which is what my wife and I asked for.
