Brannan Entertainment

Jay did an outstanding job at our wedding. At both the ceremony and the reception, the music selection and management of the timeline were superb. We met with Jay a couple of times before the wedding, and we knew once we met him that the reception was going to run smoothly and be a lot of fun. He had a number of ideas for getting all of our guests involved at the reception and for making the traditional events like the first dance/​toasts/​etc. run incredibly smoothly. Any anxiety about the timeline of the wedding day melted away as we were able to brainstorm with Jay on the sequence of events and work out some of the music selections together.
We could tell from the very beginning that Jay had many years of experience DJ’ing weddings. His experience and professionalism were readily apparent from how he expertly managed the events at the reception and handled the microphone. But what was really cool was that he still maintained the same warm enthusiasm every time we met him; we could tell that he really wanted us to have the best day possible. And let’s be clear: we met with a few other DJ’s before Jay, and we definitely did not get that same warm vibe from the others. It was the little things that we were impressed with, like how he came up and talked to us throughout our wedding day to make us feel at ease and relaxed. Unquestionably, he was an important part in making our wedding a fun and memorable day for us. Jay is a great guy and we highly recommend him!

Jay was the DJ at our wedding this past September
He was amazing. He was super informative and listed to all the crazy music types that my husband and I like. During our pre wedding meetings he took a ton of notes and really became invested in making our wedding the best.
He came completely prepared with mics for the ceremony and up lighting for the reception.
I would totally recommend Jay to anyone having a wedding or special event.
He was even high energy when getting our non-​dancing guests on the dance floor!

Jay recently DJ’d our wedding at the new library downtown. It was a long day and a bit of a complicated set up. We had cocktail hour on a terrace upstairs before the ceremony, then the ceremony was in the courtyard, and we moved back up again for the reception. Jay was able to do it all! And, do it all seamlessly. Music was very important to us and I think he saw and honored that for us. Jay has a neat website/​portal where you can select songs you like and also make a list of «do not play» songs. All of our guests had a fabulous time! A few of our guests tried to go home numerous times, but just had to stay to dance for one more song (which turned into many more songs) because the DJ was so good!

We had the pleasure of having Jay Brannan as our DJ at our wedding last November. Don’t be fooled by the number of reviews here on Unilocal,he has many more on wedding wire. We originally contacted another DJ who was not available for our wedding date, but he then highly recommended Jay. We are sure glad Jay’s colleague send us his way because we enjoyed our first visit and follow up visit with him. Very cool guy! We told him about all the events we wanted to have for the wedding including a traditional dance before the bouquet/​garter toss. He was very helpful, flexible and supportive and helped make everything possible. We liked the music account he set up for our music list, everything was super organized. We also really wanted cumbia music and he had a great selection! On the wedding day everything was great! All of our planned events and music was perfect. All our guests, my husband and I had a great time! I remember so many people were dancing and when we finally saw the wedding video we saw so much more of all the fun people had, especially on the dance floor! Thank you Jay for being part of the special day and providing such awesome entertainment for everyone!

Jay is amazing! I’ve been to 3 weddings that he has DJed, one my own, and they all were fantastic! He’s friendly, professional, and knows how to keep the party going no matter the type of crowd he’s working with — be it rowdy or laid back or on between. His personality is perfect for your event — he is upbeat and excited, and you’ll feel energized without being overpowered. His prices are reasonable, he offers the basics or the whole package, and he is always on time. By far the best, most reliable wedding vendor that we used, and the nicest to work with too!

Jay Brannan is an awesome DJ, and we hired him for our 2 daughters’ weddings. Our guests danced all night until they wore holes in their shoes! (-;
My son & daughter-​in-​law hired him for their marriage celebration as well. I was impressed at how Jay knew when to play a polka dance for my daughter-in-law’s grandparents, and still keep the young people dancing all night by playing lots of the hottest tunes chosen by the bride and groom.
Jay Brannan is professional, personable, very experienced, and priced reasonably. He has all the tunes, and he offers guidance to help wedding receptions and other parties run smoothly.
Jay is great at remaining appropriately in the background, so that he doesn’t steal any attention away from the bride and groom. Yet we relied on him to make announcements at the right time, and he offers advice about how to handle toasts and other issues.
When my oldest daughter and I were planning her wedding, Jay Brannan was recommended by one of our trusted wedding vendors.
Jay was always on time and reliable. In fact he arrived a little early. It’s amazing how much difference the right DJ can make, because he has to judge the crowd’s mood and by his choice of music, he can encourage dancing and a festive mood. Naturally Jay chooses music from a list of tunes which have been approved in advance by the bride and groom.
We love Jay Brannan, and I highly recommend him! We live in the San Diego area, and I know that he also does events in North County & LA. Currently Unilocal has him listed in Temecula, which makes it harder to find him on Unilocal.But if you are reading this, you have just found the best DJ on the west coast, in my opinion! (-;
