Jerry Thompson's Testimonials

Our DJ was great!
-Lauren Gensky-Millbrook High School
James and I just wanted to send our sincere thanks for doing such an outstanding job at our reception last Saturday. The music selection was fantastic, and we continue to get comments and compliments from friends and family on what great song choices there were and, more importantly, on what a great time everyone had. We realize that this is a direct reflection on what an awesome DJ and MC you were the entire evening. Thank you for checking in with us at appropriate times but also having the confidence to read the crowd. You were able to get a perfect feel for the sort of music we liked based on our conversations, and it really showed. Thanks for giving us the party we envisioned- even better, actually.

- Kelly & Jason
I filled out this survey specifically to laud the service of Jerry Thompson. Jerry's professionalism and helpfulness made our planning process extremely easy. We were hooked from the first meeting, where Jerry made it clear that he would provide us with a wedding reception that was fun and appropriate while reflecting our tastes. Jerry led the order of events smoothly and afterward, many guests remarked that they were pleasantly surprised at his ability to both take charge and stay in the background, leaving us with all the attention. When we decided to take extra time to greet guests, we did not have to explain ourselves; Jerry simply went along with us. At the time, I wasn't at all worried because I knew Jerry was easy-going and flexible, exactly what a busy bride needs. Thank you so much, Jerry!!!
- Abbey Bucher
Jerry did such a fabulous job at our wedding reception last Saturday. I have received numerous compliments from my family and friends on what a nice job the DJ did. He kept the party going until the very last song! I also got a lot of compliments on the song choices and the volume level: loud enough to dance to and have a great time, but not so loud you can't have a conversation. I could not have asked for anything more from Jerry. He even helped me out by playing the audio for my slideshow when I couldn't get it to work at the last minute. Great job and I would HIGHLY recommend him and Joe Bunn DJ Company to anyone looking for a DJ.
- Joanna Muster
Jerry Thompson was our DJ, and he was absolutely fabulous. He's been terrific to work with all along--very friendly and professional, easy to communicate with, and very receptive to our needs and wishes. He played all the music we wanted to hear and did a wonderful job working in other great songs. We had lots of compliments on the music from the crowd--all in all, just a wonderful experience with Jerry! We'll be recommending him highly to anyone in need of a DJ in the future.
- Hillary Paul

- Jessica and Justin Julian
He was completely on point the whole night and took care of some pretty amazing last minute requests from the bride/groom. I was impressed! He is more than welcome to DJ up here anytime!
- Shelly Rhem- Cardinal Club (Private Events Director)
We received several specific compliments regarding Jerry during and after the reception. Everyone loved the ‘danceability’ of the mix of songs.
- (Mrs.) Douglass Payne
Good job keeping the crowd moving, DJ not talking too much, music volume was good (quieter during dinner).
- Shannon P.
Thanks for your continued support of Boys & Girls club, Joe! Jerry was awesome and provided the perfect accompaniment to the event.
- Hadley Watson
Joe, I wanted to pass along sincere thanks and many compliments to Jerry who was a fabulous addition to Appetite for Art! It was such a pleasure working with him and he was right on target with the theme and feel of the evening. We appreciate the overall support you shared for the event and it was a great success thanks in part to both you and Jerry!
- Kim Wheeler
Thanks for a great event once again! Jerry was great and really had a “handle” on our party! We will definitely be in touch next year!
- Marieanne Casseday-Cary Ortho
Jerry was very attentive to everything requested and was very friendly and professional.
- Megan Freeman
Hey Jerry, Thanks so much for being the DJ. You were great. Thank you so much for your quick action and changing the song we picked that wasn’t appropriate. We spoke with my parents yesterday and my mom thought my dad had played a joke on us. You were great to work with especially with my absent mind and many forgettable moments! In addition, we had several guests who gave compliments that you were the best wedding DJ they had heard. Thank you again. Please let us know if we can ever give you a recommendation. We would be very honored and pleased to recommend you to future couples or events. Best thoughts and have a great week! We are leaving now to go on our honeymoon.
- Katherine and Jeff [/hide-this-part]
