I hired him for a marriage proposal, he did everything is his hand to make the day as perfect as it could be and even better. He played unusual songs per request (All of them masterfully) and my now fiancée is the happiest woman. If you're looking for a professional and caring musician, stop, you found him!

We found Jackie after a long search for a vocalist with a distinct sound, and a beautiful voice. Jackie had both and more. When she sings, she lights up the room in the softest way possible. She was super flexible and accommodating and even did a virtual set for us so we could get a true sense of her performance. On our wedding date she stayed a true professional and delivered amazing performances.

We worked with DJ JaronB for our October 2023 wedding ceremony and reception. He was great! There was a thorough planning document provided which helped us break down the music we wanted to hear into sections of the day. We had a beach ceremony and the equipment that was set up for the ceremony was loud enough for us hear the music and what people were saying on the mic even tho the ocean was really loud. The reception was fun! Vibes were great for cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing. We recommend working w DJ JaronB, thanks for adding so much fun to our event!

To start, Rob was great at communicating, professional and making us feel easy with the booking process by answering all our questions. Once we booked with Second Song, they sent us a portal that was super easy to navigate and tell us what we needed to do. The Google Doc of questions was immensely helpful as there were things I had not even thought about. Our DJ Tyler was amazing! People danced all night ans he knew how to get people on the dance floor. Super friendly and knew how to go with the flow / keep us moving. Thanks so much for making it super easy to book and work with you all! Highly recommend!
