Read what customers are saying about Godwin:

• “JPL is amazing! They made sure my wedding ran smoothly and was everything I wanted. The DJ made sure the music was fun and that everyone was dancing the whole night. The day before my wedding, he called to finalize the timeline and the special songs and was very personable and professional. We ordered their uplighting package and I highly recommend it! It added the perfect touch to our reception and made the photos beautiful. We also used their photobooth package which was a huge hit the entire night and came with tons on props. They have someone who works with you to design your photo strip to ensure to matches the theme of the wedding which I thought was so awesome. I can’t thank y’all enough for everything you did for us!!” Alexis Bracknell, Wedding Ceremony & Reception, October 22, 2016

• “I had JPL Entertainment for my wedding at Moffitt Oaks and they were amazing. Everything was super easy, the playlists and timelines are done online so you can work on them as you please. I had Godwin for my DJ (I requested him because the ladies at Moffitt said he was great) and he did not disappoint. I talked to him a few days before the wedding and explained that I had only put a few songs on my play list to give him and idea on what we like, but he could take it from there. He did a GREAT job! Everyone was up and dancing ALL night and I had so much fun. There was only one song on my playlist that was missed that I was super sad didn’t get played, but I didn’t even notice until we got back to the hotel that night. I would definitely recommend Godwin and JPL Entertainment to anyone looking!” Heather Galloway & Blake Woods, Wedding, March 25, 2016
