Curated entertainment for a remarkable event
Jarrell Entertainment curates unforgettable music experiences for clients who don't just want a party — they want the party.
Find the artists who belong at your celebration.
Every Jarrell Entertainment experience begins with a conversation. We listen to your vision, your crowd, your energy and then we carefully match the right talent to your event.
Drawing from decades of experience, we guide you from the first idea to the final song with clarity, creativity, and care.
Led by Creative CEO Ray Jarrell
Ray Jarrell founded Jarrell Entertainment in 2001 with a single conviction: that live entertainment, done at the highest level, changes the atmosphere of a room entirely.
More than two decades later, JE operates as a full-service entertainment company — music, bands, DJs, ensembles, immersive performance, sound, lighting, and production — built for events that have no room for compromise. Every element is considered, and every decision is made with the same care whether the brief calls for a string quartet at sunset or a full production closing out a night in Tuscany.
Ray remains close to every engagement. He is across every brief, and for the events that demand it most, he is at the other end of a call.
Ray remains close to every engagement. He is across every brief, and for the events that demand it most, he is at the other end of a call.
On select occasions, he performs himself.
Jarrell works with clients who expect more than a vendor. They expect a partner who understands what the event needs to become.
The Team
Behind every event is a small, dedicated team who treat your celebration as if it were their own. Between them, they've helped produce over a thousand events worldwide.

"Thank you for providing the music at our wedding at The Plaza. We had the most incredible time and all our guests raved about how fabulous the music was and what a great DJ you are. It was the most wonderful party and we so appreciate your talents! If you ever need anyone as a reference, don't hesitate to ask-- it was better than we ever anticipated and really "made" the whole night.”

“The Sheinman - Tsanos family would like to take their hats off for a job more than well done! How could you possibly be so talented as to make four generations, from three different continents happy? You were smart enough to understand the dynamics of this event as half the family were Greek Orthodox living in London and Cyprus and the other half being four generation English Jew from London...Thank you for becoming the "Maestro" of the evening discreetly ushering in the next special moment or course... Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”

“We want to thank you so much for making our wedding all that we had hoped it would be and so much more. Our guests had an incredible evening full of elegance and fun. We definitely achieved an ambiance that reflected both our personalities with music that we chose and music you chose. Our only regret was that the evening had to end – people, including us, would have danced until dawn.”

“I wanted to say thank you for making our Christmas party a great success. This being the first Christmas I've had with the University and the first party I helped with, you made me look good. The music selection kept everyone on the dance floor all night, and as you know the music will make or break a party. The group you were playing to is usually a tough crowd, but your music got them up.”

“I would like to highly recommend Ray Jarrell of Jarrell Entertainment for his DJ services. Ray provided the music for The Door's First Annual "Opening Doors" Benefit held at NYC's Tribeca Grand Hotel on June 12th. The evening was a great success due to Ray's involvement and all of the guests, included MTV's Serena Altschul and Senator Bill Bradley, greatly enjoyed the evening's music entertainment.”

“Lynn and I both enjoyed working with you and your patient “go with the flow”, but thorough work ethic. We were all working under the most unsuitable circumstances due to the weather and power outages and you were instrumental at making it a copasetic situation. It was outside and it rained from the start of the event until the end. Ray you were instrumental in getting the guests up and keeping the party on its feet through the duration of the entire evening. You even got them to dance in the rain! It was perfect.”

“The amazing feeling of magic at my daughters wedding was due in large part to Jarrell Entertainment. With Ray’s keen sense of music and sensitivity of people, he had the ability to provide us with such tremendous music that it wasn’t possible to sit down. The crowds response was so amazing we are still receiving phone calls a month after the wedding to say that it was the best they’ve attended. Thank you, Thank you.”
