Jimi was an amazing DJ for our wedding! He was pleasant to work with, organized, knowledgeable about the wedding process and very responsive. Most importantly, he was an absolutely fantastic emcee for our whole party! From ceremony music through to last dance - he made our wedding a blast! I highly recommend and would hire again in a heartbeat.

I could go on all day about how happy I am with hiring Jimi Carter as our wedding DJ. Every time we talk about or reflect on the wedding, his name comes up as being pivotal to the success of our event. Obviously, Covid restrictions made having a wedding at all very challenging. It had to be very small. There could be no dancing. I wanted it to be special, but wanted to spend as little as possible since we were on a modest budget. I looked around and found string quartets that wanted $1,600. DJ's that wanted $1,700. Gospel choirs that wanted $3,600! I'm sure there are people out there than can afford that, but I couldn't. Then I found Jimi, and frankly I was concerned about his being SO AFFORDABLE. How could he be any good if he only charged an amount I was totally comfortable spending? We had lost our original venue and moved to the upstairs at the Wayside Inn, with the ceremony down the road at Martha Mary Chapel. They said we couldn't have a DJ because they were afraid of the noise, and we have all been to events where the music was so loud you couldn't hear yourself think, so I didn't want it loud either, but I needed ceremony music and background dinner music and and MC for the flow of the evening and announcements. I didn't want to deal with having to man my own blue tooth/Spotify situation. Jimi was extremely responsive and put me at ease with the flurry of emails we exchanged in the beginning. I read his reviews and decided to go for it, and AM I THRILLED I DID! I explained the issue with needing to be quiet at the reception, which he readily agreed to, so I honestly thought he was going to just do a high tech version of the aforementioned blue tooth/Spotify situation. Let me tell you, he showed up at the ceremony site well in advance and made the ceremony magical. The timing of the songs was so perfect I felt like we were in a movie. Then we went off for pictures and I didn't even realize he had schlepped down the road to the reception site at some point and also set up that area with a professional speaker. He had a microphone for announcements, but he wasn't loud at all, literally the perfect volume, playing nice background music for the cocktail hour that was great blend of song suggestions I had given him and his own choices. He made our grand entrance very special and then he was supposed to follow the timeline I had given him for the rest of the evening...except the service was incredibly slow and was taking forever. The photographer was going to have to leave soon and he wouldn't get pictures of the first dance and cake cutting. So Jimi took matters into his own hands, drawing upon years of experience with just such an issue. He approached me and suggested we switch things up in such a way that the rest of the evening flowed seamlessly. I honestly don't know what we would have done without him. He was the glue that held everything together. He made non-cheesy yet funny and minimal commentary and reminders where needed, played great music and was generally just so nice, pleasant, professional yet warm and a pleasure to work with. He stayed well past when I thought he would, and when I suggested that he might want to start packing up, he good naturedly asked where else he would be going on a Monday night, and stayed til the end. You would do well to hire this wonderful, professional, incredibly-reasonably-priced-for-what-you-get DJ! You will not be sorry. I can only imagine what he is capable in non-Covid times when he can pack a dance floor...

I wanted to gift a DJ to my brother in law and his wife for their wedding. I reached out to several people and Jimi was very accommodating considering he would be working with both myself and the bride and groom. Throughout the reception nearly everyone I spoke with commented on how great Jimi was. He played games, kept everything on track, and did an excellent job of reading the room to keep the dance floor occupied. I highly recommend Jimi if you're looking for an excellent DJ at an affordable price.

We had initially decided we did not need a dj for our wedding so DJ Jimi was a last minute hire and we are beyond thrilled with our decision to hire him. He replied to every text and email as soon as he was able, even if was just to say "I'll get back to you on that". He was professional and meticulous about every moment of the wedding where he may be involved. He even had Portuguese music in his repertoire which was a big plus in our case. He was on time, polite and fun without being hokey. He was reasonably priced but worth much more than he charged. I would highly recommend DJ Jimi for any party and will definitely use him in the future should the need arise! 5 out of 5 stars.

Everyone had a blast at my wedding! Everyone commented how wonderful Jimi was, and how they had never seen so many people dancing before! He played a great selection of me and my husbands requests, as well as requests made by guests. He was a pleasure to work with, and had excellent suggestions when it came to selecting music for the ceremony. I would highly recommend Jimi to anyone looking for a DJ!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I understand how expensive functions can be. I'm willing to work with a budget. I won't "upsell" a client. Many DJs offer a 'budget friendly' quote and then proceed to 'upsell' ie; would you like lights - more $ - do you need a ceremony system - more $... I DO NOT do this.. my quote includes; Sound System, Ceremony System, Dance Lights, MC-DJ and Customized Music
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Once someone has shown interest in my services I offer to meet in person or speak over the phone in order to answer any questions they have prior to making a final decision on hiring a DJ.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have over 15 years of Professional Boston area radio training in addition to many years working Mobile events and Clubs.
