James Booth, the founder of JB Entertainment

About Us

With 22 years’ experience in entertainment as a guitarist, DJ and sound tech, our founder James started this company with two simple aims:

1: To bring the best musicians, DJ’s and performers in the North West of England together, to provide exceptional entertainment.

2: To make the process as fun and stress free as humanly possible.

Our DJ’s and musicians are hand-picked, as are our dedicated team members, who will walk you through every step of the process. They’ll help you decide exactly what you do & don’t need to suit your particular taste and vision. Our purpose: to give you an unforgettable night, personalised to you.

What We offer

Your evening entertainment is one of the most important aspects of your day, the speeches and formalities are done and now it’s time for you and your guests to let their hair down and have fun. At the very least you’ll need an experienced DJ with the right kit, who can guide and bring your vision to life. Have you considered adding some extra fireworks to your evening?

Why book a saxophonist? Dj & Sax gives you the flexibility of a DJ who can play any song ever made, combined with a live performer. It’s an interactive experience with a live musician on your dance floor amongst your guests, grooving and performing with you. The DJ is the backbone and the sax player is the fireworks, adding the extra excitement and live performance to your evening. It’s the best of both worlds. It’s perfect if your tastes are Ibiza vibes, Dance/House and works well with Rn’B.

Why add a percussionist? There’s nothing like watching a live percussionist bring drama to your stage. Like the sax player, they will be on your dance floor interacting with your guests, thumping out beats and adding rhythmic excitement to your night. They may even let you have a go!

Our bands and artists: We’re currently expanding our offering of bands and artists. Whether you want the full live band experience as your main evening event, to be played down the aisle, or some smooth Rn’B for your drinks reception. A live act provides the perfect blend of live entertainment alongside the flexibility of a DJ.

James was our DJ for our wedding and he was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. The music was spot on all night, the dance floor was full, and the energy never dropped. He read the room perfectly, mixed everything seamlessly, and created the exact atmosphere we hoped for. So many of our guests commented on how good the music was and how much fun they had. James also captured some brilliant photos and videos which was an added bonus! Professional, friendly, and genuinely talented! We couldn’t have asked for better. Highly recommended 5☆

Honestly, you were beyond what we could have hoped for. You made our evening reception so much fun and I genuinely had the best time ever. I didn’t want to leave the dance floor once (and I don’t think I actually did) because it was just banger after banger. I loved the way you mixed the songs together and how you really listened to everything we asked for. Every time me or the groom came over, you let us jump on the decks and have a go at being the DJ, which made for some absolutely cracking photos and gave us an experience we will never forget. We are so pleased we booked you for our wedding and we will definitely be recommending you to our friends and family. Thank you so much for making our night unforgettable.

We are incredibly grateful and thankful - you were amazing. We loved how you kept in touch over email and gave us a phone call a few days before. This was a lovely unexpected gesture and helped to calm the nerves a little. You kept us in the loop all evening on Saturday, explaining in detail what you were doing regarding the first dance, last dance etc so thank you so much for that! Everything ran so smoothly. We absolutely loved the first dance! We loved how accommodating you were and how you let us have a go on your DJ decks and my dad hasn’t stopped talking about this! He loved it! DJ Dave, haha! We wouldn’t have changed anything, James! You were amazing! The dance floor was full all the time, and this is exactly what we wanted! Thank you again! Georgia & Dom

Owner's reply
Hahaaaa so glad your dad loved that! You two were amazing and you have an amazing group of friends and family! It was a pleasure to play for you and be a part of it! Thanks so much for the kind words, Georgia and Dom you were amazing thank you for having me! :)

We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ than James for our wedding! From start to finish, he absolutely kept the party going and created such an amazing atmosphere on the dancefloor. He played all the music we love, took on board our requests perfectly, and even kept our guests happy by mixing in their requests too. One of the highlights was getting the chance to jump into the DJ booth ourselves—such a fun and memorable touch that really made the night extra special! James also worked seamlessly with Spencer Sax, despite it being their first time working together, which really shows his professionalism and adaptability. Everything just flowed so effortlessly. On top of all that, his communication throughout was brilliant—clear, friendly, and reassuring—and he’s genuinely such a lovely guy to work with. We’d 100% recommend James to anyone looking for a fantastic wedding DJ. Thank you for making our night unforgettable! ★★★★★

The most accommodating and professional DJ we could have hoped for. The pre-wedding conversation was done well in advance of the wedding day and James ensured that we understood how best to fit the music around the day in a way that allowed things to flow well. He also made sure we could contact him with ease if there were any extra questions or uncertainties we needed to be clarified at any point. James managed to gather people around the dancefloor in a way that seemed effortless. From the moment our first dance reached its conclusion, he had already got the majority of guests onto the dancefloor - even people we wouldn’t have expected to dance! The music went through different stages of genres and there were songs to suit everybody at varying times of the evening. He accepted song requests and transitioned between songs so very well - managing to alternate between pop and heavy rock songs which kept people on the dancefloor. James allowed myself and my wife to have a go at DJing and that was a lot of fun and definitely something neither of us would have expected to have had the opportunity to do. It gave the guests something extra to applaud us for. From the beginning of his set to the toll of the midnight bell, it was an evening of heightened emotions and togetherness which added to the happiness and joy of the day for all attendees. Both myself and my wife cannot fault James’s contribution to out perfect wedding day. We would highly recommend his custom to others!

We cannot recommend James enough! From the moment we first spoke with him, we knew we were in great hands. He took the time to understand our style, our must-play songs, and the overall vibe we wanted for the evening. On the wedding day, he completely exceeded our expectations. The music selection was spot-on from start to finish — transforming the reception into an unforgettable party. The dance floor was packed all night long — even people who never dance were out there having the time of their lives! What really stood out was his professionalism and ability to read the room. He seamlessly transitioned between genres and kept the energy flowing - the whole evening was flawless. The sax player Arthur who performed alongside James was outstanding! He brought such an amazing energy and vibe to the night — guests loved it, and it made the dance floor feel electric. An unforgettable touch to our wedding! So many of our guests commented that it was the best wedding music they’d ever experienced, and we couldn’t agree more. If you want your wedding reception to be fun, stress-free, and unforgettable, book with James. He is simply the best!

Owner's reply
Hi Chloe, this is an amazing review. Thank you so much for taking the time to do it. Your wedding was a joy to play and we both loved it! We hope you have an amazing future together and we're glad you'll look back and remember both the day part and the evening part as being fabulous and exceeding your expectations! :)

Hi Andy, thank you so much for this great review. It was a joy to be a part of your wedding and I'm super happy you loved it all. :)

We will tailor our services to your preferences

Some people have a specific structure and set of songs that they want and some people prefer the DJ to take the lead and read the room; most people are somewhere in the middle. Whatever it is that you are looking for, we always prepare to make sure we deliver a night to remember. We provide a full sound system, lighting and microphone. Some venues insist on using their own in-house sound system and some venues have a sound limiter, but we are fully capable of working within these circumstances to deliver fantastic entertainment.

Please see our pricing and enquiry page for further details and to check availability, so we can begin building your perfect day.
