About J Helbig Cheese-Free DJ+MC
J Helbig Cheese-Free DJ+MC
THE definitive choice for distinctive “Non-Cheesy, Non-Obnoxious” DJ+MC with a genuine approach, philosophy & attitude towards DJ entertainment (especially weddings) that truly separates my service from the standard, run-of-the-mill wedding DJs & DJ services. The weddings I DJ+MC are all about an organic vibe, inclusion, relaxation AND most importantly – FUN! “Relaxed, inclusive, organic & fun!” I do not believe in berating your guests to “get on the dance floor’ or “put their hands in the air”. I want everyone to have a great time doing what THEY feel like doing. Your wedding deserves a DJ who actually gets it.
What I do NOT do is just as vital as what I DO do. NO dated line dances or soundtrack. No props or “shtick.” NO music with f-bombs or n-words. NO worries. NO stress! Plus, as one of the area’s only *true* boutique DJ+MC, I do not outsource my events to any other DJ, nor do I book multiple events in a day. That’s because I believe in offering my couples a very personalized service that, in part, focuses on the little things that mean a lot, but generally get overlooked. Based in NE Ohio, but proudly travel all over Ohio & other states -- with NO travel fees.

True Wedding Partner
Jack was a true partner during our wedding planning and on our day. He worked with us on song selection (there were a couple of songs we drew a blank on), helped fine-tune the schedule of events and worked with our photographer and venue to iron out the details and make sure they were all on the same page. We kept the song selection up to him as much as we could, providing some "dos" and "don't" and he did the rest. We got several comments on the music after the fact from both friends and family, so he managed to please both crowds. I'd highly recommend Jack to anyone.
Kampman
Jack made our special day the absolute best! He can definitely read a room!! Played all the songs we requested and vibed off everyone’s energy. All of our guests couldn’t leave the dance floor ! His timing was perfect and I had zero stress because of how much I trusted his judgement. Plus, he came highly recommended by a colleague who had Jack DJ her wedding several years ago.
No Cheese, Not Annoying & Great Music
We truly cannot say enough about having Jack DJ for our May 2024 wedding. We both have large families and friends, all of whom like to dance and party. I personally think a DJ/music can absolutely make or break a wedding, so we were very nervous when making our decision. After the initial phone call with him, we were very happy with our choice. He played such a mix of music, all of which we loved. We gave him a small list of songs we absolutely wanted to hear, but wanted him to also do his own thing, which we are so glad we did! He is professional, so on top of the music and can read the room perfectly. And he doesn't constantly talk like other wedding DJs. The dance floor was packed ALL night long – and most of our guests stayed the entire night. Even on a Monday night when many had to work the next day!! My only disappointment was that we couldn't have Jack for longer! You absolutely will not regret booking Jack. TRUST ME!!!
Excellent Then...and Now
Jack did an AMAZING job at our wedding. He is professional and incredibly helpful. His vast knowledge of the music industry and his outgoing personality was exactly what we were looking for. Jack listened to what we wanted and came up with an incredible playlist for the evening. His charisma and passion for what he does is so undoubtedly noticeable. We had so many compliments from guest about Jack; I would recommend him to everyone. There is nobody better! He also DJ my sister's wedding several years ago. Just as great now as he was then!
