We used The 617 Event Group for our wedding DJ and Uplighting. Our DJ was Jimmie Espo and he was incredible. We went to a wedding that he DJed a couple years before ours and knew we had to book him once we got engaged. He’s very easy to communicate with. He really knew how to read the crowd at our wedding. People were dancing all night long, well before dinner was even served! He knows how to help put on a good party.

We had the pleasure of working with Jimmie for our wedding on October 8th. From the moment we met with him we knew he was going to be the perfect fit for our reception. He was extremely familiar with our venue which put us at ease, was flexible scheduling calls, and made us feel like rockstars the entire night. He kept the party going with hit after hit for 5 straight hours. From the moment the first song played, to the very last one, not a single person left the dance floor. His energy was unmatched and we can’t thank Jimmie enough for making reception AMAZING. A week later and all of our guests are still raving about him! Thank you Jimmie for making our day so special.
