Just Press Play Productions

Jeff provides amazing customer service and a great alternative to hiring a DJ.

Jeff is just fantastic to work with. Our wedding was at A New Leaf in Chicago. Jeff knew the venue, and he knows his stuff. He’s easy to talk to, easy to work with, and just an overall great guy. He made suggestions for us and his experience made the overall wedding easier for both of us. He also worked with me (the groom) during the wedding and assisted making the overall flow work very well. Highly recommended. You just can’t go wrong!

Jeff did an awesome job at our 9÷5÷15 wedding! From the ceremony to the cocktail hour, through dinner, and finally for the entire night of dancing, Jeff read the crowd perfectly and selected songs from our extensive collection that suited each part of our big day. Most importantly, he helped keep our guests up and dancing and having a good time!
Jeff is friendly, professional, and clearly very good at what he does! We are really glad we went with the MC’d version of his service, as having him do the announcements and be in control of the music throughout the duration of the party was fantastic. We’ll definitely be calling Jeff next time we need a DJ!

Jeff provided the equipment for all of our music and sound needs at our wedding. Everything was easy, smooth, and sounded great. We were so pleased with the evening and Jeff played a huge role in that. He is professional, answers all questions, and is very helpful. Highly recommend Jeff and Just Press Play!

Should be 6 stars. Our wedding was last night. Phenomenal service, Jeff knows his stuff and is very professional. Couldn’t have asked for more.

Great DJ! We had Jeff as our DJ for our wedding on May 30^th and he was fantastic. We gave him all our playlists and he definitely was able to read the crowd to figure how to get things going. He was very good about not letting people requests songs we didn’t ask to be played and very accommodating any time we had something we wanted announced, changed or played. He also announced the Hawks game updates the entire game which all the men in the crowd were huge fans of. I will definitely be recommending Jeff to friends/​family in the future. We had a great time!

WOW!
Jeff literally blew us away and was one of the nicest parts of the whole wedding (at the Morton Arboretum in Lisle). He was accommodating, helpful with timing and working around other vendor schedules, and his communication from beginning to end was SPEEDY. I literally cannot understand what other DJ’s are charging for — Jeff does it ALL at a fraction of the price. The uplighting was lovely, the sound quality was superb, and his professionalism when making announcements and introductions was everything we could hope for.
We played music off of my wife’s laptop and had an iPod just to be safe (which we ended up using for the ceremony to avoid clutter). When we realized we had not selected quite enough music to make it through the night (word to the wise: air on the side of caution) he was able to go through the rest of our music library and pick songs that kept the crowd dancing and into it. We were able to be the music Nazis we are prior to the wedding and then relinquish just enough control the day of to be relaxed and have fun.
Neither my wife nor I stressed for even a moment with Jeff in charge. I WILL TELL ALL OF MY FRIENDS, COWORKERS, FAMILY, ETC. TO USE THIS SERVICE!!! The only other alternative I would ever even consider is having a friend’s live band or something play. ALL OTHER DJ’s are inferior… and this is not a paid endorsement… don’t waste your money elsewhere
THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!!

We got married just over a week ago — and Jeff did a fantastic job with the music! My friend used Just Press Play at her wedding, and recommended them to me when I was complaining about finding a reliable and affordable music source.
It is a bit more work than a traditional DJ — but I took the time to gather and organize all my music, and gave Jeff free range to play music as he saw fit with the crowd. I was a nervous wreck before hand, wondering if people would like the music — but it was amazing! He listened to everything I asked and requested, and made sure all requests by friends came through me first. He also didn’t ask questions and played music that was important to me and my friends/​family without judgement! :) I had the time of my life dancing, and even lost my voice from all the singing and dancing.
I HIGHLY recommend Jeff — he responded to emails and answered questions and overall did a fantastic job. His website is full of tips for planning your music — and I think if you’re looking for something affordable and professional and personalized — Just Press Play is what you need!

I got married almost four years ago, and I still consider Just Press Play’s services one of the highlights of my wedding.
We just had him play music off our laptop, and Jeff asks that you send him a list of all the music you want played throughout the whole day, so he can have an idea of what he’ll be doing.
As anyone who’s planned a wedding knows, those last few days before the wedding are really hectic, and I didn’t get the chance to send anything to him. So, when he got to the venue, it was his first time seeing the music and when we wanted specific songs played. I had no one to blame but myself, but he handled it so professionally, and it all went smoothly. He even helped me play a last minute little joke on my dad with the father-​daughter dance, starting to play a song my dad HATES, and then cutting into the real song. It was great!

Jeff and Just Press Play was exactly what we were looking for for our DIY wedding! It’s awesome that you can choose your entire playlist and JPP takes care of the rest. They were timely, responsive and professional. I highly recommend!

I could go on for days about how great it was to work with Just Press Play. Jeff is a pleasure to work with. He answered every email quickly and was always there when I had a question (and I had a lot of them!) I could not believe that I would be able to find such an affordable DJ service. Alan was our MC and he was phenomenal. He was professional, friendly, and so much fun to have at our wedding. Nobody would have ever guessed the playlists came from our own Macbook! The ceremony was beautiful, and my reception was a total dance party, which is exactly what I wanted. I cannot thank JPP enough for all of their help!

Awesome service. Right on time for our wedding, played mostly our music but got the guests requests in as well. Great type of service for budget minded people. Jeff was able to come to us even thou we were a little out of his normal range, and the extra fee was well worth his service.

Jeff did a great job with our wedding, was always responsive to phone calls, and generally just did everything he needed to well. I’d use him again if I had another wedding to plan, but i think i’ll stick with this first one. :)
I took off a star because the music volume was really loud for the tables in the front. Because speakers aren’t distributed around the room stuff kind of has to blast from up there. A couple wedding guests complained (including the mother of the bride!) and seemingly nothing was done.

I had my own DJ friends and music, so we utilized the sound equipment set up/​tear down at 2 different locations at our wedding venue and Jeff was completely accommodating regarding everything we needed. He was professional on the phone and responded to e-​mails right away. Definitely recommend.

From the 1^st e-​mail to the final thank you card we received from Just Press Play I can’t even begin to tell you how happy we were with their customer service. Jeff replied to my e-​mails with helpful information and in a timely manner.
Just Press Play is a great way to make your wedding music very personal since you make all of the music selections yourself. I really liked that aspect of this business because who knows your wedding guests better than the people planning the event. That being said, Jeff was able to play the songs that got people on the dance floor and kept them there all night long (seriously our dance floor was packed the entire night). I can’t tell you how many people said «Your wedding was the best wedding ever» and I know that had a lot to do with Just Press Play (Jeff).
I would recommend this company to anyone looking for DJ services. They provided great customer service, created the ultimate dance party atmosphere, and were even affordable. To me that is the trifecta!

Jeff was my DJ for my wedding last Friday, and he did a spectacular job. From our first e-​mails to the late-​night dance party at the reception, every interaction with him was wonderful. I would highly recommend Just Press Play for a wedding ceremony and reception, especially if you want some control over the music at your wedding.
Jeff provided us with plenty of info to help us prepare for the big day. We followed his tips (plenty of songs and playlists, music people want to dance to, clear written instructions, etc.) and everything went off perfectly. We went with the option of having him mix our playlists as he saw fit, and as evidenced by my wedding pictures, the dance floor was always packed. Hell, there was a soul train line AND a dance-​off.
Please, use their MC service. my friends were happy they didn’t have to man the ipod all night long, and the MC is a professional.
Thank you, Jeff! You were perfect!

As soon as I found Just Press Play, I knew it was perfect for us and we booked right away. Jeff was very prompt in responding to my inquiry, and all of the info and pricing was laid out so clearly. We were trying to save as much money as possible, so we went with a basic sound system and one light for the dance floor. Jeff was familiar with our venue and recommended a second speaker for the loft area, which made sense.
The cost of using one of their DJ’s seemed very reasonable, but we decided to just ask one of our friends to man the laptop and the playlists we lad out ourselves.
The equipment arrived on time, George gave our DJ a tutorial on how to use it, and the sound was great. Everything was then picked up on time as well. We were very happy with the service and the value! I would definitely recommend this company to friends.

Great price, fair policies, excellent service. I don’t know why there aren’t more companies providing this type of service in an age where everyone has their own digital library of music and DJ chatter has become simply intolerable.
I’m thrilled that we were able to work with Just Press Play for our wedding. Jeff, the owner, is wonderful. I swear he responded within half an hour to every email I sent. He was clear about our responsibilities and provided useful tips for creating our playlists. The day of our event, he was punctual (actually, I think he was early!), friendly, and efficient. I’ll be honest. I miss him.
Just Press Play is a diamond among the wedding industry rough.

We loved Just Press Play at our wedding. My husband created the song lists, and they did a great job playing all our music at the right times. They were helpful and responsive throughout the entire booking and planning process and made sure they understood our goals for the night.
My only gripe was that we were in a unique venue, where there was a dance room, and he said he was ready for our first dance. So, we went to start our first dance (which we choreographed and worked on for months!!) but no one was in the room yet! We thought our DJ should have waited for our guests or made an announcement that he was starting the first dance. People were running to see us, and I think only 3 people saw the start of our dance. I’m knocking off a star for this mistake.
Honestly though, other than that, the rest of the night went flawlessly, and our guests were dancing all night.

Just Press Play DJ’d my wedding last weekend. They were awesome! The MC Robert did a fantastic job! He was friendly and so easy to work with! He did a wonderful job of playing music that kept everyone on the dance floor all night long! He also did a great job of fading out the music at just the right time for the ceremony.
Jeff, the owner, was very easy to work with and quickly responded to all my emails and thoroughly answered all my questions. He also had great advice regarding how to make the playlists. He was also knowledgeable with what equipment I would need for the space and the number of guests. The music sounded great and the DJ was awesome… all at an affordable rate! I would highly recommend Just Press Play for any wedding or party!
