“Jackie absolutely KILLED IT. She was such a delight to work with and truly is an incredible DJ. We got so many compliments on how perfect the music was. It was so perfect that the recommended dance floor size was still overflowing! Not one guest was sitting the entire night. I'd absolutely recommend hiring Jackie and / or Ceremony DJs for your wedding if you're looking for something that's not your typical wedding playlist.”
- Madelyn Burkhart
“Jackie Sugarlumps was our wedding DJ and did an amazing job! Our choice of music was quite unconventional, including pop, bollywood, party greek, and traditional greek music. Despite being unfamiliar with bollywood and greek music, Jackie was able to work with us and pull off an amazing night which all of our friends enjoyed! Several of our guests commented on how smooth and fun everything was--would 100% recommend!”
— Dimitris
“Jamie & DJ Jackie were AMAZING! More than we could have asked for. I've had some really awful experiences with previous DJs and so I was super nervous trying to pick one for our wedding. I felt in such good hands after my thorough first chat with Jamie. He walked me through the process and when DJ Jackie got involved it was continued smooth sailing. I highly recommend Ceremony DJs. We had guests absolutely blown away by DJ Jackie. People were coming up to us all night saying they had never been anywhere with such a great DJ. (that's a great feeling on your wedding day!) I cannot say enough thanks, you were kick ass! *They did our uplighting too! It was perfect!” — Julianna Koopmans
“My wife and I could not be happier with the job that Jackie Sugarlumps and Ceremony DJs did for us during our recent wedding in San Francisco. We absolutely recommend her and Ceremony DJs for your event.
One of our top priorities for our wedding was that we have a good DJ, someone who was knowledgable and passionate about music, someone who could read a crowd and put together a solid set list that got people moving. Jackie exceeded our expectations in every category.
First of all, she was incredibly organized and easy to talk to. We had several meetings before our ceremony and Jackie was always ready to go with questions and great ideas that helped make our experience smooth and unique to our musical tastes.
At the event, Jackie arrived early to the venue and made sure that the sound and lighting would be perfect. As major music nerds and audiophiles we were super impressed. The bass and treble were perfectly set and both the chapel for the ceremony (indoors) and courtyard for the reception (outdoors) had studio-quality sound.
Jackie supplemented the songs that we chose with similar genres and artists that melded perfectly with our musical tastes. Moreover, you could tell that she herself is a huge music fan. As she DJ'd she danced along with the music and made our guests feel like they were attending a music festival. We received so many compliments from our friends and family for our choice of DJ. Everyone, especially this newlywed couple, went home happy.” — Nate
“We could tell from the website that Ceremony DJs is for the couple who loves music, but we fell in love with this company after our first conversation with Jamie back in 2020 because we spent almost an hour on the phone just geeking out about artists we loved. We hired him on the spot but then realized we'd given him the wrong date and he was already booked! Jamie offered to send his friend, Ed, in his place, and we trusted him. It was one of the best decisions we made. We met Ed, and his partner, Blue, over Zoom with Jamie after we hired them and found ourselves drinking whiskey and laughing about the absurdity of life. Our homework after that call, apart from choosing songs for our processional, recessional, first dance, etc, was to put together a Spotify playlist of ALL the music we love. Even stuff we would never want played at a wedding. Tall order. We eventually gave them 13 hours of music, and they would have wanted more! Then the pandemic decided no one was getting married for awhile, and we found ourselves in the position so many other couples can relate to, trying to figure out when/if/how to salvage our wedding day in a safe and worthwhile way. And these guys stayed with us through all of it - all five attempts at our celebration. We ended up with about 90 people on a mountain in the Santa Cruz Redwoods on 8/21/21, and it was magical. We wanted an epic dance party at our wedding, but we also wanted to shy away from traditional wedding songs in favor of the music we really love. I was, admittedly, a bit concerned about the music leading into the weekend because we never gave Ed a top-ten list or a must-play list, or a don't play list. etc, and I was worried people would only want to dance to music they knew. Or that our tastes wouldn't make for good wedding vibes. But we didn't NEED to give these guys any lists because they are THAT good. They actually clicked through the massive playlist we sent them and interpreted US by indulging in our musical tastes, which is nuts because our combined affinity for lyricism and melodic beats is super random. We love the classics, 90s rap, synth-pop, indie and American folk, but we also LOVE drum and bass, Bay Area rap, blues, ambient electronica, EDM, soul, Southern gospel, Indian hip-hop, French pop, Israeli folk, a Capella groups, emo throwbacks, you name it. SO. Random. And our guests LOVED it. Everyone I danced with was praising the music. And we got our wish! Our dance floor was packed from the first song until the last song with clever transitions, insane drops, and the happiest energy. Every song was so us. Ed wove tracks together so seamlessly, spanning multiple genres and eras to create a truly unique set-list, and we danced our hearts out with our favorite people until we had to leave. You can hire any DJ to play top 40 hits and hope they know how to read a crowd, but if you want a customized experience, I can wholeheartedly recommend this company. Jamie and Ed are incredibly talented artists who happen to also enjoy being a vital role in major life events, and the wedding industry is lucky to have them. And BLUE! Blue is the most adorable, and stunning, emcee I could have asked for and a joy to be around. To us, these three are so much more than vendors. They are friends, and we feel so fortunate that our paths crossed when they did because they made our wedding day unforgettable”
“Couldn't have asked for a better experience. After a brief conversation with Jamie where we discussed my desires for music genres and goals for the party, Jamie hooked us up with Jackie who was absolutely the perfect fit for our party. She knew the genres I was looking for (cumbia, bachata, etc.) and was able to score a perfect lineup of music that kept us dancing all night. I highly recommend Ceremony DJs” —- Raquel
“Jackie did an amazing job as our DJ. She was very detail oriented and made sure she knew exactly all of our expectations for the big day. She even came and visited the venue site a week before to plan her set up and then came super early on wedding day to make sure she had everything set up with plenty of time. She did a great job and It was really cool having a girl Dj. :)” — Kassidy

“Jamie’s recent livestream of my son’s wedding was outstanding! His attention to detail and ability to capture the larger picture allowed loved ones from around the world to fully experience the event, together. A precious gift for virtual guests. The feeling provided could not be captured in any better way. My gratitude is overflowing!” - Robyn Rymer
“My husband and I hired Jamie as our DJ for our wedding this past September and he did such a fantastic job! He really wanted to get to know what types of music our guests and we loved to listen to and customized the music to fit our group perfectly! On top of DJing our entire wedding, he also helped us live stream our wedding to all of our guests who were not able to make it. He spent so much time making sure everything went perfectly and we are so happy our friends and family who couldn’t travel were able to share our wedding day with us! Jamie was so fun and easy to work with and we are so fortunate to have chosen him for our special day!” - Amanda Tomasetti
“We noticed Ceremony DJs was highly rated on multiple platforms so we set up a call. We liked Jamie so much that we didn’t call anyone else! During the first call Jamie asked us questions to get an understanding of the kind of music that we liked as well as what our guests might like. From there, he crafted an amazing set for the entire wedding! Another awesome thing with Jamie is he helped us with day of coordination since we did not have a wedding coordinator. Apart from handling the entirety of our music, Jamie and his good friend Ed helped us stream our entire wedding for our loved ones who could not make it. They have a combination of cameras for a variety of situations and we received much praise from the stream viewers! Jamie is amazing at what he does but even better than this he is an awesome person to work with! We will be recommending him to all of our friends and family that are getting married!” - James Rymer
“Groom is a country aficionado, the bride prefers indie and the brides family saved their pennies to visit from Mexico. What to do? what to do? Leave it to Jamie! he figured out how to balance all of our music needs from the uniqueness of our ceremony songs to the out of right field cake cutting song. I told Jamie I didn't want the dancing to stop during the reception so, he kept my family happy with cumbias, norteñas and even some reggaeton mixed in there. It was the best to see our families mixing in together as one on the dance floor. Jamie brought the house down!” - Ryan Rettenbacher
“Jamie Jams was super cool and accommodating to our wedding music needs. We had a rustic country wedding and wanted a very eclectic playlist to accommodate my fiances family and my Latino family visiting from Mexico. Needless to say Jamie knew exactly how to handle this spicy melting pot and brought down the house during the reception with some cumbias and norteñas. We danced the night away!” - Kristal Riddell

“A DJ, MC and lighting team that elevated our entire wedding program. From the initial inquiry, Jamie was very thorough to understand our wedding theme and expectations. He also provided past insight during our pre-wedding brainstorm to help us plan out the run of show (welcoming cocktails, grand entrance, toasting speeches, first dance and party music). We were not having a ceremony and wanted the reception to be more than the usual open bar + dance floor program. Jamie and Rocky delivered more than just the usual dance floor / club /top 40 music. There was deep consideration for the range of guests (family vs. relatives) to really make the music feel like a soundtrack for all on our special night. The equipment was not only high quality in sound and setup in a true audiophile consideration - there was not a table that was overwhelmed by the speakers placement. Last thing to mention, the communication during the whole process went smoothly. They followed up on our curated playlist suggestions, were punctual with load in/out and partnered well with our day-of coordinator and venue staff. Thanks again Ceremony DJs for making it a memorable wedding and New Years party for all!” - Peter Yang
“Jamie was so awesome to work with from the beginning. He met with my husband and I to get a sense of our individual music tastes and to see how he could fuse them together. We appreciate his openness to our requests and understanding of what kind of vibes we wanted to set for our reception. We had a much smaller wedding reception and it still felt like a huge party! The original timeline of events didn't quite go as planned but Jamie was great at going with the flow and reading the crowd to see what was best. Our families love to dance and so 99% of the night consisted of us dancing.” - Camille Cuentas
“We did our initial consult with Jamie. My wife is passionate about music and had already begun compiling an enormous library of songs she wanted to hear/dance to. He was able to sit with us, and directed the questions to make certain he captured the entirety of her vision while also making me feel heard. Unfortunately (for him, fortunately for us!), he was booked for the date of our wedding. With other vendors this would be a challenge, but not with these professionals! Jamie handed over his detailed notes to Jackie, who called us to make sure we were ok with the change and who was clearly a professional who had prepared for our wedding. The ceremony: They supplied the equipment, and we had no mic issues. The ceremony went perfectly with the right music at the right times etc. No complaints there. The reception: Jackie is an absolute rockstar! She played every song we wanted to hear, avoided the ones we didnt (even when guests made ... loud... requests), and danced along with the music. She knew how to work the room, and got our older family members up and dancing early before gradually transitioning to more modern/upbeat dance songs by the end of the night. She was so much fun and kept the dance floor going from 9 to 1AM! She really went above and beyond for us. We could not be more pleased. Several guests approached me during the evening to compliment our DJ choice and to ask how we found her. What better compliment can one have? You work with a lot of vendors to pull off a wedding. Jamie and Jackie are consummate professionals, and I suspect that no matter who you work with here you'll be in good hands! I'd give them 6 stars if I could.” - A.J. Cole
“Jamie did a great job with our wedding. We had some special hardware needs because of our actual ceremony being on top of a hill. Jamie got the hardware that we needed and hooked us up. The rest of the party was completely on point -- the dinner was romantic and chill, the dance party was high-energy and got people moving. He spends a lot of time up front tailoring the set list to your specific tastes and needs. And the comments we got from guests were that the songs played fit exactly our style, with a lot of nuance. It was great!” - Mike Michon
“James DJ'd at my wedding 2 weeks ago and he completely blew away both me and my wife's expectations. From the first phone call I had with him, he was extremely enthusiastic and I knew we were in good hands. We simply gave him a list of some of our favorite songs and he managed to break them up perfectly into a groovy afrobeat cocktail hour and 70's inspired main set that had everyone on the dance floor. Couldn't recommend him enough.” - Cyrus Blankinship
”James was amazing! My husband talked to him on the phone when we were on the hunt for a DJ and called me up afterwards to tell me that he didn’t want to talk to any other ones, James was the one. He is super outgoing and attentive and really just seems like he loves his job. He played everything we wanted the night of our wedding and at some point during the night a friend said "how do I get this guys playlist?!" I would highly recommend to any friend or family member! “ - Katie Barsanti
