Once Upon A Wedding

Jon was absolutely amazing. He was kind and very knowledgeable. He will do anything you need for the music and he records videos of the night, it’s amazing how he got everything that night. He really made the night and did such an amazing job, I did not want a dj at first (because I was being cheap) but after seeing how amazing he did it was well worth every penny spent.

Jon was great! He was extremely communicative, accommodating and he did a phenomenal job knowing exactly what our wedding guests needed to dance. We’ve been waiting for photography and videography to get back but Jon already uploaded so much of our wedding to his YouTube as well, so we have been loving to watch it. We can’t begin to recommend him more.Thank you again! More...

Jon DJ’d our wedding this past weekend. He helped make it the most wonderful day of our lives. His videos gave us the opportunity to relive it over and over again with our family and friends. It’s great to share with people who weren’t able to make the day. He did a great job with the music and kept everyone dancing all night long. His planning of the night helped highlight some things we didn’t even think about until he brought up. He helped take some of the stress out of planning our wedding. More...

I cannot say enough amazing things about our DJ! From start to finish, he kept the entire wedding flowing perfectly. I honestly went in a little clueless about how everything would come together, but he took complete control in the best way and made sure every moment felt smooth and effortless.

The energy was incredible all night—everyone was hyped, on the dance floor, and having such a great time. What really stood out was how he was able to seamlessly accommodate both sides of our family. Half of our guests spoke only English and the other half only Spanish, and he made everyone feel included by translating and engaging with both groups so naturally.

He truly brought our whole wedding together and created such a fun, unforgettable atmosphere. If you’re looking for a DJ who knows how to read the room, keep the party going, and make everyone feel included, he is the one. Highly, highly recommend! More...

There are moments in life that feel almost unreal… and our wedding ceremony on **March 21—World Down Syndrome Day—**was one of them.

We intentionally chose this date to honor our son, Adrian, who has Down syndrome, and to celebrate awareness, love, and inclusion. Jon Arnold understood this from the very beginning and embraced it with such depth, respect, and heart.

From the opening of the ceremony, Jon created an atmosphere that was deeply meaningful. He honored our parents in heaven—calling them by name—bringing a sense of presence that was both emotional and comforting. It felt as if they were right there with us.

Jon didn’t just officiate our wedding—he created an experience that touched every soul present.

Every word he spoke was intentional, personal, and beautifully reflective of our story. At 60 years old, we came into this marriage knowing exactly what love means, and Jon captured that essence in a way that exceeded anything we could have imagined.

One of the most unforgettable moments was when Adrian participated in the hand fasting ritual, binding our hands together. It was not only symbolic—it was profoundly emotional, representing unity, family, and unconditional love.

And then… the vows.

When David made a special promise to Adrian, there wasn’t a dry eye. That moment was a reflection of who we are as a family, and Jon held that space with such grace and sincerity.

But there was a moment… one we will carry with us forever.

After the ceremony, when we were inside the celebration, the sun gently touched my face with a warm, golden light. It was not planned. It simply happened. And in that instant, it felt as though everything we experienced—the love, the words, the emotions—was being witnessed from above. It felt like a blessing, like a whisper from heaven saying, “We are here.”

Jon has a rare and beautiful gift. He brings not only professionalism, but presence, soul, and something truly spiritual. He doesn’t just perform ceremonies—he creates sacred moments.

Our expectations were not only met—they were surpassed beyond anything we could have dreamed.

If you are looking for someone who will transform your ceremony into something deeply meaningful, emotional, and unforgettable, Jon Arnold is that person.

We will carry this day, and his words, in our hearts forever.

With gratitude beyond words,

David and Maria Whitesell More...

We had the absolute best experience with John. From the very beginning, he went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. He didn’t just play music—he truly helped bring the entire day together.

He took the time to make sure all of our songs were exactly what we wanted and helped coordinate the flow of the evening so everything ran smoothly. On top of that, he captured special videos and little mementos throughout the night that we’ll cherish forever. Those thoughtful touches meant so much to us and really show how much he cares about the couples he works with.

His professionalism, organization, and attention to detail made the entire process stress-free. We felt completely confident that everything was in good hands, and he absolutely delivered.

Jon did an amazing job with our wedding. Before the day arrived, we had a lengthy phone call about exactly what we wanted for music and timing and he took care of the rest. During the reception, when I requested to make slight changes or speed certain things up, he was more than accommodating. I would definitely recommend him especially if you have children at the wedding as he made sure they all felt included with special dances and in the congratulatory video from the guests. We are very happy with how our day went thanks to him! More...

We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. He delivered real quality from start to finish. He kept the energy high, kept everyone entertained, and truly went above and beyond anything an average DJ would ever do. He even stepped in to sign our marriage license since our grandpa officiated. That alone tells you the kind of man he is.

He read the room perfectly. Every song flowed. No awkward pauses. He handled every cue with precision. Ceremony. Entrances. Dances. Everything felt smooth and professional. You could feel the experience behind what he was doing.

He’s bilingual and talked with our family in Spanish like he had known them for years. Our guests kept coming up to us saying how fun he was. He recorded each table for a video guest book and made the whole experience personal and memorable. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does. His enthusiasm lifted the whole night.

He communicated clearly leading up to the wedding which took a huge weight off us. He cared about getting every detail right. That kind of dedication is rare today.

We truly got a bang for our buck. He is worth every penny. An interesting man. An entertaining presence. A professional who gives more than you expect. Absolutely a five star DJ. Highly recommend. More...

I married my best friend this past Saturday and I am still coming down from the absolute cloud of our amazing wedding day. Our way was absolutely perfect, it came together beyond my wildest dreams and it was more than I could have ever asked for. Jon from Once Upon a Wedding was a huge part of why everything was so perfect. From my first call with Jon I could tell he loved his job and saw us as family rather than clients. He is a warm kind and caring person and then came through even on the phone. When we set up our first meeting at our venue he took notes and asked us thoughtful questions about our vision for our wedding. Throughout the planning phase Jon and I had several calls every few weeks to go over all the details. I was blown away by how easy he made my planning. He had email questionnaires for myself and my fiancée to complete and asked us detailed questions about each other which added amazing personality to our wedding. Jon was so kind and easy to work with, any idea I came up with he was extremely enthusiastic about making it happen. I looked forward to every call with him during the planning stages. When people asked me if planning was stressful I said no, I have Jon and he’s amazing, and he truly is. November 1st 2025 our special day came and I couldn’t believe how perfectly it came together. Jon arrived at 10 am and started decorating the reception, organizing the ceremony and coordinating with my venue and their team to get everything in place. His attention to detail was incredible. Our ceremony was filled with so many special moments we had planned and it was amazing seeing it come together. Jon officiated our wedding in addition to being our coordinator and DJ. He made the ceremony so special. So many of our guests came up and told us how amazing they thought it was. When I walked into my reception it was everything I could have imagined and more, beautifully decorated with fun music and lighting surrounding everyone we love. Jon made sure to check in with us personally and kept us on schedule for a great day. I can’t thank him enough for a special surprise he provided us, our whole wedding, beautiful captured on video for us to always remember and enjoy. There are no words for how much this gift means to us. I hope that Jon knows how special he made our day, how much we enjoyed working with him and how he truly has a special gift for what he does. We are forever grateful for Jon and Once Upon a Wedding for our wonderful day. More...

He thoroughly consulted with us on multiple key points in the wording and delivery of his speech ahead of time, and it was even more beautiful than we ever could have imagined. He was accommodating to the Nth degree, arriving early at a remote location on a day that was already busy for him, so that we could review some details before getting started.
