Jimmy is AMAZING!!
We got married this past May, and working with Jimmy was easily one of the best decisions we made.
He set the perfect vibe from start to finish. Nothing ever felt awkward, everything flowed smoothly, and he kept the energy alive all day. He's not just a DJ pressing play, he really knows how to read the crowd, keep things moving, and make the whole celebration feel joyful. Thanks to the way he managed everything, every one of our guests had an incredible time.
While planning the wedding, we had several online meetings with him. He listened carefully to what we wanted, offered advice whenever we missed something, and suggested fun ideas for games to ensure everything went smoothly. He even edited our first dance song! Plus, since he's fluent in both Korean and English, all of our guests felt included and comfortable. That was huge for us and made the night even more special. If you're having a bilingual wedding, he is a MUST!
If you're looking for a DJ and MC, we highly recommend Jimmy. He is professional, talented, and genuinely cares about making your day unforgettable. Thanks again Jimmy! :)
Jimmy is like a sushi master when it comes to being a wedding MC and DJ—he truly offers an "omakase" experience. He flawlessly handled the basics, like event hosting and music preparation, but also went above and beyond to ensure my wife and I could fully focus on our special day. From the planning stages, he showed a clear understanding of our vision and guided us through many aspects of the process.
As a perfectly bilingual professional, Jimmy seamlessly catered to both English-speaking and Korean-speaking guests, creating an inclusive atmosphere. From the ceremony to the reception, he maintained an excellent flow and kept the event running smoothly at the right tempo.
I’ve been recommending him to all my friends, and when my wife and I have a child, we’re definitely entrusting him with their first birthday celebration. I hope this review helps you make your decision!
Jimmy was amazing! He was our MC/Officiant/DJ and definitely knows what he's doing. Jimmy is the all in one package that we needed for our wedding and everything went smoothly. Jimmy was professional, accommodating, and helped guide us in the right direction. We gave genres of music and some artist we wanted our day to have and he was able to put together all the music that matched our vibe. He was able to translate and switch between English and Korean so everyone felt included! Jimmy was entertaining to everyone and made the games so much fun and interactive. We had so much fun and so did our guests :) and Jimmy knew how to help make it special. If anyone is looking for one or more services we can easily recommend Jimmy!
Jimmy was a pleasure to work with from the very first video call several months before the wedding to the end of reception. During planning, my fiancée and I were often lost on exactly what we wanted. He gave us helpful examples and direction whenever we asked. The plan that we ended up with was very solid and his execution on the day of was perfect.
Jimmy's fluency in both Korean and English was critical as he was able to MC for a mixed Korean/English wedding reception of older Korean-speaking family members and family friends and younger English-speaking friends. He also translated my father's toast speech from Korean to English and recited it along with him. At some point during the night, Jimmy made sure to do something fun for the older Korean folks, where he played samples of some older Korean songs to have them guess at a chance to win some prizes that we had prepared. This was not planned but he saw the opportunity to make sure to include everybody in the fun, while our younger friends were at the bar getting drinks and socializing. His timing was great and he read the room very well.
Everything on our wedding day ran late (as apparently do most weddings) so Jimmy had to alter the plan somewhat to match the timing as well as the general vibes. He was extremely quick to adapt and is clearly good at thinking on his feet. A good example of this happened at the beginning of our reception. Reception had started late due to the bride and groom photography session running late. Originally the plan was for him to sing an introductory song to start the night in a lively mood, but he read the vibes well and the timing of everything and instead skipped the song and went straight to some pre-planned trivia questions about us. We wanted to enter reception stealthily and we were able to do so while Jimmy took the attention away from us, which was a very intelligent move on his part. Although it was a bummer to have not heard him sing, it was the right move; a good, quick decision made by Jimmy.
We gave him suggestions for music and he was able to add similar or complementary songs to the list to round everything out nicely. The dance music at the end of reception was well picked and he executed on our final song directions precisely.
His photo booth partner (I'm sorry I never got the chance to get her name!) was also very good. She was very quick but not rushed. There was never a delay between posing and taking photos. She also immediately printed the exact number of copies we needed every time without delay and handed them out to each of us, while still keeping the booth rolling for the next group.
Overall, I highly recommend JK Wedding Events, especially if you are holding a Korean-American fluent and culturally mixed wedding and reception. But even if you are not, Jimmy is intelligent, quick, charismatic, and talented. You will not be disappointed.
Jimmy was the ultimate MC and DJ for our wedding ceremony/reception. He was crucial to our planning process, offering valuable ideas and insights for our big night. He truly went above and beyond, keeping our guests entertained throughout the evening. His humor and charm were infectious, and he masterfully engaged a large crowd, ensuring everyone had a great time. He was also accommodating with any music requests for the dance party. The photobooth service was a huge hit, with guests lining up all night. Thank you, JK Weddings, for making our night so special!

Thank you so so much Hanxue! Thank you for having us!
We also had a photo-booth and it was also amazing. So many fun option to pick from. I loved see everyone's photo, which was all emailed to us at the end of the week.
Jimmy, our wedding simply wouldn't have been the same without you. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our day so incredibly special.
JK served as both our ceremony MC and reception DJ. His professionalism shone from the moment we connected. Arriving early to set up, he ensured everything was ready.
In the lead-up to our big day, JK's guidance was invaluable. During our planning meeting 1 month before the wedding, he helped us solidify timelines, select music, and plan entertainment, leaving us feeling entirely at ease. Thanks to his meticulous preparation, I enjoyed my special day without stress!
Beyond his organizational skills, JK's infectious personality brought an extra layer of fun to our celebration. His humor and charisma kept the atmosphere lively, ensuring everyone had a fun time.
JK isn't just a talented MC and DJ – he's a wedding-day hero who goes above and beyond to ensure a flawless experience. If you're looking for someone who will make your big day unforgettable, look no further than JK!
After months of planning and deliberately managing all the factors - whether it be between families, money/budget, vendors, prizes, favors, dances, music (just for you Jimmy), and all the other little things... it surprisingly came to an end in an instant, almost like a blurry dream. In hindsight, I think the biggest stresses were from the ones you know you can't fix, like if the music will cue correctly or if all the attendees will arrive on time.
That being said, meeting Jimmy was THE BIGGEST relief because he literally filled in all the gaps. This speaks volumes on his level of professionalism, ability to adapt (experience), and his passion for doing what he loves. I would say the best way to help Jimmy make your wedding/event to your liking is by just showing who you are/what you want, and he'll know what to do.
We had several meetings prior to the wedding, and the very last meeting (about 2-3 weeks beforehand) was the most crucial and relieving. Thanks to my diligent wife, having a schedule really helped the critical people (Photographer, Planner, MC/DJ, Florist) all be on the same page so things can run as smoothly as possible. He reassured us, and we let it go (or to the best we could). In fact, almost all of our wedding party ran late due to issues at the nearby AirBnB we booked. This led to delays driving to the venue, and 5-10 minutes when we arrived I had to start walking down the aisle.. We had no idea if the venue was ready or not, and I was so nervous and out-of-mind because Jimmy and I didn't have any time to discuss nor rehearse last minute!
Yet, he literally saved the day. I sincerely, truly, thank you.
*My own advices - (1) Try to get a wedding planner - for both your sanity, (2) prep a detailed schedule, (3) try to have the venue the longer the better (Depending on the schedule but I'd say 4-5 hours), (4) and definitely TRY to be in the moment.*
Whenever I love the service provided I always accommodate by ending off with a recommendation, and to anyone reading this.. I can CONFIDENTLY say you'd be a fool if you decided to pass Jimmy up.
Thank you for everything again and hopefully we can meet again soon!!
