Randy joined us this weekend for a wonderful Sweet 16 party. He was prompt, entertaining and extremely cordial. JVE was fantastic and we will always use them in the future for our entertainment and DJ needs.

We LOVED working with LVE Entertainment! Randy has an innate sense of feeling the room and played the right music. He has a great idea of international genres so when we asked him to play specific international songs he not only played those but other ones that were perfect for the set! LVE was rented for a 5 hour period for my daughters Sweet 16 — so Randy also knew exactly how to manage a multi age group scene. Do NOT look for another DJ: use LVE because not only do they “get” the crowd but Randy is incredibly knowledgeable on multiple genres of western and non-western music, he can “feel” the room out and is very easy to work with, and his customer service is impeccable. If I could give LVE 10 stars I would! Randy made our evening perfect!! More...

JVE Entertainment Partners arrived before the event time and displayed a high level of professionalism. They accommodated everyone's requests and delivered an outstanding performance. The DJ booth setup was visually impressive, and their work truly enhanced the event. We're thrilled to have them back for another event. More...

We booked Randy and JVE entertainment to play at our wedding reception. Randy was incredibly quick to reply and set up a prelim talk about our needs. Everything else from then on was seamless and the day of the party was perfect! Randy brought the energy and the vibes and the set up looked brilliant too! Thank you so much. More...

JVE Entertainment delivered beyond my wildest dreams. DJ Randy Jenkins is the master of ceremony. He did not need much more than a few notes related to the specific guest of honor to engage all the guests as the party progressed. Randy felt the room and played music on point until he was asked by guests for a particular song. He was quick to deliver. Randy led guests in a few modern line dances the kids loved. We were thrilled by the split that blew us all away in light that Randy is no 20 year old! I highly encourage anyone who requires DJ services to look no further. You will not be disappointed. More...

DJ
Randy was amazing! He had multiple calls with me to confirm the event, prep for the event, and called me the day before with final day information. He showed up on time (and even had to use the stairs to get all the equipment up on his own). He played amazing music, was extremely friendly, and so professional. 1000% recommend him for anyone’s party and will certainly be using him again! Thanks Randy for my making my party so so fun!

Randy did a wonderful job at our daughter's sweet 16 party with about 60 people invited. He did EVERYTHING we need for the party from the begging to the end, such as planning, decorating the rooms, decorating the tables, DJ, MC, photobooth, hiring a photographer, arranging and decorating dessert tables and many more in the way exactly my daughter wanted. His DJ and MC were so good and all of us had a wonderful time. In addition, he made parent's life so much easier by suggesting many things and answering all questions we have. He is a very honest person. We highly recommend. I can not thank you enough to Randy for all these wonderful services we had. Thank you so much again for everything! We will remember this wonderful party forever! More...
Elaine & Ron Durkin
Randy was the DJ for our 50th Wedding Anniversary Celebration. My husband & I asked Randy if he would be available to celebrate our Anniversary Party. He was absolutely the best DJ I have ever heard! He worked with us for about two months alwsys ready to answer any questions that we may have had. Randy would listen to our every request. He was always in touch to discuss the types of music we enjoy & also asked us if we would like to provide to him a list of songs that we enjoyed & he would tailor the music to our specifications. The music that he performed was above & beyond any expectation that we may have had. Our guests told us this was the best music that they ever heard for our very special event! Because of Randy, our 50th Anniversary Celebration was a total success! I would like to thank Randy for ensuring that my husband & I had a day that we will never forget! Thank you so much Randy!!’ More...

DJ
We hired Randy for our non traditional wedding celebration this past weekend. We couldn't of been more pleased! He was extremely professional, always took the time to talk to me weeks before the event, and was just all around a joy to work with. He never missed a beat with song requests from our guests and also played all of our song requests I emailed to him prior to the event! It was a no-stress, drama free evening and Randy definitely helped be apart of that. I knew I didn't have to worry because he would take care of all our DJ music needs. I highly recommend anyone who is looking for a DJ to use Randy!!! So happy we found him on Bark.com and that we were able to work together to make our night so special. Thank you Randy!!!! More...

We hosted an event last week for our residents. We were so pleased with Randy! He was professional, punctual, had amazing energy and such a great selection of music. Our residents had such an amazing time! Randy had the perfect amount of interaction and was super upbeat. We had some different music requests that he accommodated without missing a beat!

JP and Adriana
Wedding DJ
We hired Randy for our wedding and could not have been more pleased with the service!
He was so accommodating throughout the entire process despite how many last-minute changes we had (including on the day of the event).
He was super friendly and really made the reception a memorable experience. One of our highlights was when Randy joined our dancing circle at the end of the night and got everyone pumped up. Randy went out of his way to accommodate to some Spanish speaking relatives by bringing a Spanish speaking assistant. We would absolutely recommend Randy for any DJ needs you may have!

DJ
Randy was awesome! He was punctual, making sure to be completely set up prior to the start of our event. He read the room and made fantastic musical choices. In addition he added perfect touches with a prime example of having my parents dance after my father's speech for my Mom's 80th birthday toast. Highly recommend for any event needing a DJ! More...
Kelsey E.
It was not easy finding a DJ for my dad's 70th birthday party and we were so happy to find Randy. He hit it out of the park. Randy listens to what the client wants and delivers. He reads the room and is not too in your face or pushy. He is extremely professional and a ton of fun. I absolutely would recommend him and our family will be using him at future events. More...

We recently had a surprise 60th birthday party and Randy was fantastic. He got the crowd involved and played great music from his own regular music programming style as well as the playlist we suggested to him.
Susanne and Craig Stumpf
It was a pleasure working with Randy and he helped make our daughters sweet 16 a most memorable experience. He certainly went above and beyond, including visiting our venue to ensure the Photo Booth would work there. On the day of, he escalated the party by incorporating music that got all the teens up and dancing all night! I highly recommended JVE, you won’t be disappointed! More...
Kevin Gibbs

Randy was very open to all requests for my daughter, sweet 16 party
John McCarthy
Simply one word, "amazing." Working with Randy was truly very easy and smooth. He truly took control of the crowd keeping everyone on the dance floor at our Valentines Day Dance. He knows the proper music for the proper events. Everyone enjoyed it and is currently BEGGING for another dance. Randy will most certainly be back, sooner than later. We had lower expectations for this dance however with Mr. Jenkins help, this was the most successful school event turnout I can remember. I gave him a deserved honest 5 star review for these reasons. I HIGHLY recommend this DJ. More...
Alice Sensale
DJ
JVE (Randy) was just fabulous! He is very professional and wants everything to be perfect. He exudes happiness - and in turn, makes the people around him happy. The students who attended the dance (7th and 8th grade) really really enjoyed the dance - Randy played the music they liked, and made sure the music was the edited version. I think our dance was perfect and will definately hire Randy again. More...

JVE Entertainment Partners is phenomenal, to say the least. We were hosting a New Year's Eve party at Times Square he was instrumental in bringing an electric atmosphere, great music, and the crowd simply loved him. From now on, DJ Randy is my go-to guy for DJ needs. More...

We hired Randy for our company holiday event and he was wonderful! He was a great help with everything from what songs to play to the timing of announcements on when to eat, Santa's gifts, etc,. I would strongly recommend Randy for any event! More...
Melissa
DJ
What a wonderful experience with DJ Randy! I’m not computer savvy, but I was desperate to find a DJ available at a reasonable price as I had a school’s budget for this semi formal event! I don’t even know exactly how it happened, but by the grace of God Randy called me, and an instant connection was made! I’m NOT a huge recommender, in fact I’m quite critical, as I too, am in the service industry! Having said all this HE WAS GREAT! A fun time was had by all, people were asking for his card to book him for future events, I will without a doubt use him for my next event! The only reason I didn’t give him 5 stars is because no one is perfect, there is ALWAYS room for growth and improvement, but Randy you were pretty darn close! Thank you friend for an EXCELLENT time, your sound was awesome, you read the room, controlled the dance floor, had everyone engaged, your hosting was awesome, your look is on point, your voice is a gift! Thank you a million times! Merry Christmas may God bless your business 100 fold!!! More...

Mark Ravalico
DJ
Randy was a true professional. Right from our first conversation, I knew I could trust him to deliver the fun and he did not disappoint! He was on time, had everything he needed and was even willing to have our playlist of songs queued up and worked them in really well while mixing in some of his own fun selections. I hope to have the chance to use him again and would recommend him to anyone who would ask. More...
Deanna Dorey
Randy and his crew are amazing . He did such an awesome job at our dance . The kids never stopped dancing all night which is a task for middle school kids. He knew how to get them on the dance floor and keep them dancing all night . He is professional and very organized. His staff was also just as amazing . The dancing robots are a hit! I couldn’t recommend him enough. What ever your party may be Randy is the Dj to make your party a success. More...

Working with Randy was a pleasure. He was great since the first they I contacted him. I explained to him what we were looking for and delivered the way we expected. My kids were excited to work with Randy not only because he was very nice but also because he has the same interests as my kids, Anime, Star Wars and Godzilla, yes my grown up kids love all that. The Photo Booth service was great as well, everyone enjoyed it. We dance the whole night , music was great. Definitely I will contact Randy again for my next party. Thank you Randy, you made my daughter’s Sweet 16 a very special day. More...

Randy was AMAZING! He had everyone going all night long, was so easy to work with throughout the whole process and did everything we wanted and more. So many of our guests are raving about how entertaining and interactive Randy is with all the guests and how great of a personality he has. Randy is very quick to respond and just a pleasure to work with. The photographer he partners with, Jeffrey, is amazing as well. He has a crazy fast turnaround time for pictures and they all came out BEAUTIFUL. We are so happy with everything- we highly recommend JVE Entertainment and will absolutely use their services for future events! More...

JVE Entertainment / DJ Randy were fantastic to work with, from the initial inquiry to the end of our event. Randy answered all of our questions and clearly communicated all the details of the event and fees so there were no surprises along the way. The best testimony would come from our 6th grade students though - Randy had them all up and dancing and having an absolute blast! He was a perfect emcee who kept the party going, playing all the songs the crowd of kids wanted to hear. And he was part of the party too! So much interaction with the students, he really made it fun for everyone. We were able to get in an extra half hour at the venue and Randy was super flexible and able to accommodate our last minute time extension. It was a great experience for all! Not only will we use him again for future school events but I would definitely recommend him to friends for any private events they have where they are looking for DJ entertainment. More...
Matthew Kunarasa
It was a great experience working with JVE Entertainment! Randy was amazing. Throughout the night he made key suggestions that helped with making sure our event was rolling so smoothly. We look forward to planning future events with him. We Love you Randy!! Not only is he a good dj he’s also an amazing emcee!! More...
What’s the secret to keeping a party dancing all night long?
First and foremost...establishing a personal connection with your guests from the start of your event to the final moment. Keeping that "feel good", "high energy", "interactive" vibe going throughout the entire event. Allow and invite your guests to be "participants" in the event...not just "spectators". get out there and party right alongside them at every opportunity. Keep the energy of your music sets pulsating all night....and they will follow!
How would you describe your ‘style’?
Interactive!....Personable!....Engaging!.....Adaptive!....Accommodating!
What do you love most about your job?
I get to do what I truly enjoy doing! I have had the opportunity to truly take my love for music, combined with my lifelong creative talents and create a beneficial and rewarding career.
What inspired you to start your own business?
After over 30 years in the mobile DJ industry and other related entertainment fields (actor, dancer, technical theater) and having worked with several of New Jersey's largest and most well known DJ Entertainment companies, I decided to embark on creating a business entity of my own. Although I am quite small and rely mainly on "word of mouth" exposure (which I have always been a huge advocate of) I have managed to establish myself and my company as a well known brand among my client base.
Why should our clients choose you?
I play all types of music encompassing over 80 years of genres and utilize both CDs and Digital capabilities combined, to create a vast myriad of music styles, with an extensive music collection to accommodate any type of event or demographic of guests. I work closely with my clients to put together EXACTLY what they want for their event, correspond and meet with them as much as they'd like and as often as necessary, and work closely with clients in putting together their program of events for their special day.
My core value and practice is excellence in customer service and paying attention to every detail, to ensure my highest level of quality presentation, and my client's complete satisfaction, in their choice of my services. My attributes of being very personable, thorough, detail oriented and customer focused are immediately noticed and appreciated.
I am very interactive with guests, yet NOT overbearing, pushy or obnoxious. I provide the highest quality entertainment along with a unique personal approach and unmatched customer service (years of customer service and client relations experience throughout other industries).
I believe in having fun at what I do and it shows at our parties through my AMAZING! personality, charisma, and professionalism.
