About

Scaraoke covers a wide range of music genres such as top 40, rock, country, electronic, hip-hop, international, jazz, oldies, pop, reggea/reggeaton, R&B, old school, club hits, rap, and more. She is also confident in international music such as Italian, Portuguese, Persian/Iranian, Korean, Chinese, Indian, and Macedonian to name a few.

During her first year of University, she was hired as a karaoke host and had up to three shows a week.

Now celebrating her 20 years in business since 2023, DJ Jacster operates full time (7 days a week) offering both karaoke & DJ'ing, with a team of amazing DJ's alongside her. Her best asset as an interactive DJ is being able to properly read a crowd and play exactly what they want to keep them dancing all night! Her range of events include: weddings, jack & jills, seasonal banquets, corporate & private parties, anniversaries, birthdays (both adults & children), graduations, fundraisers/charities, backyard BBQ's, and much more.

Hire Jackie for your wedding!!

It was an absolute pleasure to have Jackie as the DJ and MC at our wedding! From the very first email with her we felt confident that we had found someone professional, competent, organized, and with a great personality. Jackie continued to prove that over and over throughout the wedding planning process. She stayed on top of our requests and specific needs. At our virtual meeting with her when we initially hired her, we felt she really took the time to get to know us as a couple and to understand our music tastes. She was willing to brainstorm with us when we talked to her about having a family member record the ceremony and needed to figure out the audio recording. She even attended our ceremony rehearsal and was a HUGE help in getting the timing right and making sure our families knew what to do.
Having her as an MC was such a great choice - she kept our guests entertained and laughing, and added in so many great details about our story. She was fantastic with keeping the timeline moving, and multiple guests noted that the reception started at the exact minute it was supposed to, and the dancing started at 9 PM on the dot.
The dance floor was filled immediately, and our guests raved about Jackie. One guest said, "I need a break from dancing but your DJ is doing too good of a job" and I think that pretty much sums up the experience for all of us on the dance floor. She listened to requests and even if some of the requests thinned out the dance floor, the next song she played would fill it right back up.

We had the most amazing time at our wedding and we know that Jackie was an essential part of that. We are so grateful we hired Jackie and honestly want to plan another big event just so we can hire her.

Awesome Wedding DJ

My wife and I wanted a Queer-friendly, female DJ for our wedding, and found Jackie here on Wedding Wire. She had in-depth knowledge of our venue’s less-than-ideal sound system and policies, and helped us ensure that everything would run smoothly on the day of. She was professional, communicative, and a pleasure to work with. She went above and beyond in making sure our huge list of musical cues were perfectly timed through our ceremony and reception, and then had everyone dancing all night long! Highly recommended.

10000/10 Highly recommend!

Jackie was our DJ & MC for our wedding on Saturday, and she was so amazing. She handled our venues strict rules to make sure our day was perfect, and it was. The ceremony music was so seamless... Music for the cocktail hour and reception was great. We received so many compliments on the music selections and her great MCing. She made our guests laugh and it felt like we have known her for years. We can't recommend her enough!! Thank you for everything, Jackie :)

Five Star DJ and Emcee Services!! Could not be happier!

My partner and I had the pleasure of working with Jackie Kozak and her team at Scaraoke Entertainment on our wedding day in September 2023. From the day we spoke to Jackie about our big day, she made us feel comfortable and supported for the day while offering helpful suggestions for entertainment for the guests on the night of the event.

Jackie was our DJ and Emcee for both our wedding ceremony as well as the dinner and reception. We have received nothing but compliments and cannot express our gratitude for everything that Jackie and her team did to make our big day special. They arrived early and made sure that everything worked perfectly and that the sound was crystal clear for our over 100 guests at our outdoor ceremony in the forest and again at the indoor reception in a greenhouse. Jackie provided a personal microphone to our officiant as well as a wireless microphone for other speakers during the ceremony.

We also had a guitarist provide live music for our first dance and for a surprise serenade for one of the grooms from the other groom. Jackie patched two guitars into her system so that they could be heard by all guests and provided the microphones for the singers. She flawlessly executed our schedule for the reception and kept the party moving throughout dinner, speeches, and then kept the dance floor busy for the entire night!

As the Emcee, she added fun little games to the evening including a prize to the speaker with the shortest speech of the night. She accommodated us with requests both from the grooms for foreign music as well as requests from the guests on the night of the wedding. Jackie and her team even surprised us once the dancing started with fun glow wands for the kids and adults too! The dance floor was lit up all night long! We cannot thank Jackie and the team at Scaraoke Entertainment enough or recommend them more highly for everything that they did to make our day run perfectly and be heard by and fun for all.

Jackie - thank you so much for your attention to even the smallest of details. We would book you again in a heartbeat and will recommend you to anyone who is looking for a DJ, MC, or both!

Best Night!

Jackie is amazing! She checked in multiple times before the big day to make sure she was prepared - and boy she was!!
She was super flexible to all our (sometimes last minute) changes and made sure the ceremony went perfectly! Our dance floor was always super full of people of all ages enjoying the night.
We loved working with Jackie and you will too!!!

Best DJ Ever!

When we met Jackie, we knew she was the right DJ for our wedding. We had 185 guests with varying music interests and she hit every note of it perfectly. Her attention to detail and ensuring our occasion was smooth and perfect is impeccable. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else. She’s your one and done gal!

One of a kind!

From the first time we reached out to Jackie, we were super impressed with her! She is organized, kind, and so skilled! We would hire her again in a heartbeat for another any other event. She kept the dance floor at our wedding full the whole time!!

Completely the right choice!

Wow, where to even begin?? From start to finish and beyond, Jackie was INCREDIBLE! We have never met anyone as intuitive to how to keep the dance floor hopping, nor someone who seemed to just have a sense of what to play and when. She was highly affordable for her level of expertise and the service she provided.
To make things more complex, our music included Persian, Korean, Chinese, and Indian songs, and she smashed it all!
Professional, fun, interactive, and devoted. I cannot rave enough!
