Dj Persist

LOOK NO FURTHER!
Dj Persist is the real deal!
Best music and charisma, best pictures ever.
I love this DJ the best in the US.

If I could give DJ Persist 10 stars I would but I’ll break it down on why I gave him the highest rating:
Organization = 5 stars
Months before he tells you to fill out a list of what types of songs you want to play and where on his website. And if you have writers block, no worries! His website has a volume of popular songs that people choose to play at certain times of the ceremony and reception.
Timeliness = 5 stars
He told me long before my big day, «don’t worry about a thing, everything will go smoothly.» And it did! Throughout my wedding day he kept me and my (now) husband on track of what’s to come, if we were running out of time for something, etc.
Keeping People on the Dance Floor = 5 stars
He’s extremely good at feeling the «vibe» your guests have while they’re dancing. My wedding guests told me the whole night that he was an AMAZING DJ! He transition great to different songs and even to different genres. He had my guests dancing so much, they had to take off their shoes because they didn’t want to stop dancing!
Price = 5 stars
Compared to other DJ’s he is very reasonable on his pricing and he has state-​of-​the-​art equipment. The amount of talent that is put out there is outstanding and he does it all on his own! His lighting equipment was BREATHTAKING! That was the icing on the cake.
Professional/​Personality = 5 stars
DJ Persist is very easy to work with, he’s very accommodating, friendly, and has a world of experience in the wedding world so his suggestions were really appreciated throughout the wedding planning and the day of. He was really early the day of the wedding too. So I didn’t have to worry about him having to set up because he was ready to rock n’ roll way before the bridal party even arrived.
Overall, you will not be disappointed in whatever venue you book him with! He’s GREAT! Thank you Jesse for making my wedding day even more magical!

DJ Persist couldn’t have been a better DJ selection for our wedding. Jesse was such a pleasure to work with, and met with us several times before our wedding to go over every last detail. He has an awesome planning website that is so easy to use, which made the planning process a breeze for us. Jesse got to our wedding reception venue extra early, and made sure that everything was set up and ready to go for the event. He stuck to our timeline, and played every request we made at the perfect times throughout the night. His selection of music was also perfect for our Mexican/​American wedding. I’d say that nearly 95% of our guests were on the dance floor all night, which is more than we could’ve imagined. Jesse really knows how to make a crowd want to get up and get on the dance floor! My husband and I have gotten so many compliments from our guests of all ages about how awesome DJ Persist was, and want him to play at their own weddings in the future. I would recommend DJ Persist for any wedding 110%, you will not be disappointed!

Thank you DJ Persist! You helped ensure our daughter’s Quinceañera was a success. If I had to use two words to describe our experience they would be dependable and professional.
From our initial meeting he was easy to work with, presenting a variety of packages and options while making suggestions (based on experience) of what type of services would be ideal. Music is the life of the party and DJ Persist knows how to «light up a party» (literally! his up-​lighting created an incredible ambiance).
Extremely talented! He very easily had everyone on the dance floor throughout the entire night. The music catered to a divers audience bridging the cultural and generational gap that ensured EVERYONE was able to enjoy the music selection and dance. Best of all, he was hands on, ensuring the program ran smooth; from dinner music, calling the toast, preparing the traditional entrance and dance, and working with all other parties involved (i.e. photographer, videographer, and the caterer). In the midst of a celebration, time can escape you, and it’s easy to forget the flow of the program, but DJ Persist stopped and collaborated with everyone to help us enjoy our party and continue the program.
His music, lighting, glow sticks, and the special confetti were amazing! Thank you, DJ Persist (Mr. Jesse Palencia) for a memorable evening we will never forget.

Best DJ we could’ve gotten. He was very helpful and answered all my questions and gave great suggestions before the wedding. But the real service came on our actual wedding day. He really kept everything moving on time and tight, especially because we ran a bit late. He acted as our wedding coordinator and really did an amazing job. He came through on all our requests and needs 100% also got everyone dancing all night with the tv monitors, great music selections, and even glow necklaces. I would highly recommend him for any occasion but especially weddings. He is the true meaning of a DJ!!!

I was highly recommended to DJ Persist through family that has used him before and I know he’s booked for another party later this year. Needless to say, we love his DJ services! I was a little worried because our wedding was interracial (I am Latina and my husband is Irish). I wanted to make sure that both families had a great time… and boy did they ever! DJ Persist played music that he knew both sides would enjoy.
Jesse has an extremely helpful Music Selection site where you can plug in all of the pertinent details of your event (timeline, names of the wedding party, etc.). Very helpful! On that same site, you can let him know what songs are a must for the night and any other special requests. My fiancé and I met with Jesse before the big day to discuss final details/​questions. He was very professional and had some good suggestions. Jesse is truly a nice guy who is there to make his clients happy!
The day of the wedding, everything went smoothly. Music was just as we requested: awesome! Everyone danced and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Like someone else mentioned in another review, my NON-​DANCING husband also danced the night away!
Thank you again, Jesse. It was truly a pleasure working with you!

I have heard DJ Persist at the clubs and several friends recommended him. Since our first meeting, he was professional, always replying promptly and providing the services we asked for. He kicked everything up a notch with his amazing sound system, monogram lighting, photo booth, and monitors that played our picture slide show during dinner and music videos after! He made my wedding definitely one to remember! He asked me for any song or genre preferences and I left it all up to him. I trusted that he would give us great variety and he delivered! The crowd was jumping all night! Thank you DJ Persist!

DJ Persist DJ’d our wedding on September 28,2013 and it was nothing short of AMAZING. From start to finish his customer service was great. First, setting up the music selection was a breeze. He has a site where we could input our songs or at least the type of music we wanted along with a timeline of the night (when we wanted to cut the cake, bouquet toss ect). He provided some suggestions as far as order of the night (was not pushy at all) and his suggestions worked out better then my plans. He was very professional and personable you can even check out some of his mixes online. When it came to the BIG day everything went so smoothly. Just like he said he would check in to made sure we were ok moving on with (example) the toast ect. We danced the entire night away… my husbands Tux was soaked (even his bow tie) from all the dancing… Everyone danced all night long to all kinds of music. We got so many compliments on the great music variety (Banda, free stlye, rock, top 40, hip hop all of it). I really thank Jesse for making our Wedding as awesome as it was. I swear he made a special mix for us, I really like free style and I had listed all the songs I really liked… then all of a sudden they are playing all in a row.
He even had light savers for the dance floor! We still get people saying how fun our wedding was. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend him.
He not only provided the music we also had TV screens for the music videos and monogram and up lighting.

It has been almost a month since Jesse DJ’d my wedding and my husband and I are still randomly yelling out «Hold Up, Wait a Minute!» DJ Persist made our wedding such an awesome night! I believe that the most important things about a party are good food and good music. We had a mix of Latino and Caucasian guests, and every single person had a blast. The best way to paint you a picture of Jesse’s skills are by telling you about the people dancing…
non dancing husband danced ALL night, I could see through his shirt from all the dancing sweat.
2. A man who had back surgery a week prior felt compelled to bust a move.
3. The people that sit at parties and watch others dance… were sweating on the dance floor, thanking us for such a great party.
4. The girl that only dances when drunk was dancing… and she was sober!
5. The lady with the cane… made that cane work the dance floor with her!
6. A white guy danced banda… he was so into it, he split his pants. No joke.
7. The youngest dancer was 4 years old.
8.The oldest dancer was 80+
9. I (the bride) was on the dance floor the entire night. My feet were killing me, but the music was too good to stop dancing; I still have the scars on my feet from my pretty shoes to prove it!
10. People that didn’t know each other danced with each other, and it was not weird at all!
The following were quotes from guest…
«Best wedding music ever»
«The music was on point all night»
«I was too busy dancing I didn’t event take pictures»
«I was dancing so much, I didn’t even think about checking my FB or texts»
«Can you guys throw a party every year, because this was the best wedding I’ve ever been to»
” People danced so much they forgot to take pictures“
All that being said, DJ Persist is nothing short of professional. He kept me on schedule, and I never worried about the time frame of the night. The online tool he uses was helpful, and on top of all this, he is genuinely a nice guy and a pleasure to work with. Since meeting Jesse I have hired him for other large parties and I have not been disappointed.

I contacted Jesse to DJ at my moms 50^th Birthday Dinner and it was one of the best decisions that was made for that Party! I knew Jesse was a good DJ from back in college, but to see him do his thing at a more formal event, I can honestly say I was blown away. We kept in contact before the event about music likes and dislikes and he was given the schedule for the evening which he followed –very much appreciated.
I was a little on the edge at first to see how he would cater to the different age groups but the man knows what he’s doing.
I have recommended him various times and everyone at the party loved the music he played during dinner and after. He had everyone dancing and kept the party going with his wide selection of music. Not one person had a complaint, only good things were said!
Jesse is dependable, professional and above all extremely talented! Can’t wait to hear him DJ again! :)
