On the cutting edge with a soft touch and attention to detail, with over ten years as a musician and working artist on both coasts. She spins her heart out, from dance and pop to big band and oldies for can personalize a perfect atmosphere for weddings, Bar Mitzvahs, birthdays and all other events. She is also a classically trained vocalist who can add live singing to any entertainment act from Jazz to Modern top 40. I am self contained and able to travel.
Jen was great to work with. This was my first time booking a DJ and she made it easy. She seamlessly transitioned our party from a more low key dinner to high energy dancing while working in requests from the group. She was really easygoing and definitely knew what she was doing!
Jen was absolutely amazing and I am beyond happy with my decision!
She played exactly what we wanted and was a joy to work with! She listened to our needs and was able to accommodate us with no issue whatsoever. We were last minute sending her requests and she tied them seamlessly into the playlist. She truly made our wedding memorable, I can’t wait to throw another party so she can come DJ!
Thank you Jen from the bottoms of our hearts! You truly have a gift and I am so proud to call you our DJ. I will see you in the future for sure!!
Jen was fantastic. She listened to all of our requests, tried to understand our music taste and played all of our requests, not to mention (she mixes like a pro). This is hard to come by, especially in the land of wedding DJs! Every so often you hear of a DJ who gets in the zone and doesn't listen to your style. Jen did nothing but play all the music we wanted to hear - she got the party going, and the party went all night! She was great with the crowd and fantastic with us - I would recommend her in a heartbeat and am more than thankful we connected on Gigsalad. Nothing but love here! Thanks Jen for being so rad!
Jen was the hit of our holiday party. People loved her choice of tunes and she brought the energy all night! She was very accommodating, professional and FUN! Will definitely bring her on for future events.
Response from Siren DJs:
Thanks Katie!
Great event. I had a blast!
I'll keep this short & sweet: my partner and I had about 120 people at our wedding from radically different backgrounds. We knew we wanted the dance part of the party to be epic, but who could DJ a mix that would get everyone from trendy gay New Yorkers, to rural Vermont farmers, old-timers, foreign friends from overseas, and more.. ALL dancing, ALL night? Jen was really playful in her selections and struck the right tone for the dinner hour vs the dancing time. She DJed for five hours and took us through all the spaces you want to hit on your big day: sentimental sets for slow-dancing, exciting sets for cake-cutting and toasts, rummage-the-crates old favorites to empty the dinner tables to the dance floor, everything. The best part was, Jen skillfully built a crescendo that prepped a surprise performance by my new hubby, and at another point switched from DJ to performer herself when she killed Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time" on her acoustic guitar! Many guests gushed about that slow-dance moment and said we had the best dance party wedding in a long time. Only regret: I would have used Jen to perform more often during the evening. You really get a three-for-one with her: she DJs. she performs, and she intuitively understands doing music for a mixed crowd and the many emotional spaces she can create with her selections for an important event like a wedding. Bonus: she has all of her own equipment so you don't pay for extra rentals. We loved her!!
