After years building my profile with almost 200 reviews on Thumbtack I am switching back to Gig salad. Due to thumbtack's recent legal issues I felt it was a better business decision.
Here's my YouTube page. Maybe you will be my next video :-)

I've done hundreds of weddings, private & corporate events so whether you have a large-scale event at the Ritz Carlton or a Backyard BBQ or even the mega yacht in Miami I have done them all :-) let's book it!
My husband and I had a great experience with JT! He was the DJ at our wedding this past September and did an amazing job! He played music that reflected our personalities and was very friendly and helpful. He brought a photo booth that was a huge hit as well! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great DJ!
We had our end of the year company dinner are home recently. It was an outside event with food truck and popsicle cart for about 65 people. Jt's music was the perfect addition to the evening and all our guest raved about the entertainment!
We had Jt Douglas play at our wedding, cocktail hour and reception in late January! He was very professional and showed up earlier than expected to set up and make sure everything was perfect! We gave him a TON of our favorite songs and he learned them all to make our day even that more special! I would highly recommend using him for any functions!
J.T. and his counterpart Karrie came and played at my birthday party several hours away from his home base. The were on time and got the party going.. The sang happy birthday to us and made the party a hit. I would 100% recommend them for your event. Great value in total!
JT recently played for us in a gated community Christmas party. Despite being late bc of the long drive & heavy traffic, he made up for it with his diverse music from blues to rock & even worked in Abba. At one point everyone sll seats were empty, bc everyone was up dancing! I highly recommend JT for your party!
Response from Jt Douglas:
Thank you so much!! Next time I'm taking the corporate helicopter to avoid the traffic!!!!
You will be more than satisfied with Jt Douglas if you hire him. He delivers a great show and the crowd will love the entertainment. If you are looking for a fun filled performance you want to hire Jt!
Response from Jt Douglas:
Thank you! We had an awesome time performing at your event.
JT played my mom's surprise 60th in New Smyrna Beach, Florida and did a great job. We asked him to play a variety of music and he also brought dj equipment to subsidize songs we wanted to hear that he didn't personally play. We all had a great time! Thanks JT!
Response from Jt Douglas:
Thank you so much for letting me play the event and sharing in your family celebration. The rain didn't stop us in fact I think everything appeared even better the second time around lol
Had the pleasure of having JT at a private event this past weekend and he was wonderful! Professional, talented and tailored his set to the audience. He was a big hit! Will definitely use him again in the future.
JT and his saxophone player did a great job at my event last weekend. There played the perfect mix of music and kept everyone entertained. Would use them again, for sure!
Do yourself a favor and book him now! JT and his band played our corporate holiday party and they were great; great energy, great set list, and great personalities. We had some challenges with the weather and traffic getting to the venue but JT and the guys handled it all with grace and good humor. Everyone had a fantastic time and the music helped make our event even more memorable.
Very highly recommended.
Response from Jt Douglas:
Next time we'll take the corporate helicopter and avoid the traffic lol thank you so much for having us!
I invited JT to perform at a private party at our home. From the minute I reached out to him, he was personable, easy to work with, professional, and very responsive and proactive in all communication. JT brought everything he needed for the gig and had it set up and ready to go prior to the arrival of my guests. I told JT that I wanted to start my party off with my guests mingling and end with us all dancing the night away! That's exactly what happened thanks to his talented mash up style and his accompanists. JT truly made our event a perfect experience and made us feel like our party was the most important event in the world. I would recommend JT without reservations.
JT has played several events for my company and I was able to snag him on short notice to save my highschool reunion. JT went above and beyond... Knowing the graduating year, a major portion of his set was dedicated to songs from our glory years. His mash-ups coupled with his talent and energy (and a spot on performance by his featured saxophonist) were perfect for the event. I'll continue to think of JT first for live music.
JT was definitely the best choice for our corporate holiday party of 50+. Dealing with him was a breeze - the fastest callback I have had ever on anything! Very professional and responsive and great communication all around. Amazing performance, enjoyed by everyone at the party – definitely gave it that special touch and ambiance. Loved the guitar, singing and the saxophone add performed by JT’s friend. Great all around – will definitely go to JT for any future events and highly recommend him to anyone for a casual and fun, yet sophisticate entertainment. Will definitely come back to JT for any future events.
JT did a wonderful job of providing beautiful music to our guests while also showing us the value of what he brings to the table. He's truly a professional and master of his craft in its entirety. We greatly look forward to hosting more events with JT. Thank you
Almost immediately after signing up for gigsalad JT responded to my ad. He would respond to my emails almost immediately. He was a very professional performer. He also went out of his way to bring in another artist without additional cost. Every one at the wedding really enjoyed his songs and his personality. He had very fair rates and was willing to learn new songs. If I have another event in my future JT will be the first person I contact.
Response from Jt Douglas:
Thanks so much! The wedding ceremony was perfect and I can't wait to see the photos!
Jt was the first to respond to me after I had put my request in he was very friendly and professional. I had a retirement/housewarming party. I just wanted someone who could play music for all ages and have fun with my family friends and neighbors .He brought a friend kerrywith
him that played sax.Would
highly recommend him. The reviews I got from friends and family were great also. Thanks again Jt for the great memory.
I Found JT on this site and he was the first to respond to me by actually picking up the phone and calling me. Which is rare in this day and age. He made mine and my fiance's reception perfect it was the icing to the cake! He first started out with acoustic guitar as everyone settled in, and throughout our reception he did some awesome cover songs. He had a great set list, he played songs that everyone could enjoy and the age at our reception ranged from 25-70 yrs old. Towards the end of the night when we started dancing JT was our DJ and he did an awesome job. I would recommend JT Douglas to everyone!!! He is one talented local musician. My fiance kept telling him to go try out for The Voice lol. He was on time, professional and made it super fun!!
