Meet Jim

Jim Firth

Owner/President

WOW- Where to start... I got my start as a corporate event manager, traveling the country to produce events for more than 10,000 attendees. Later, as a regional manager, I helped build a wedding entertainment company into the largest national brand of its time. In 2008 I struck out on my own, and since then we’ve celebrated more than 8,000 weddings and earned over 700 five-star reviews. Every couple and every celebration is different, and I love bringing that big-event coordination to each one. Our team members have been with us for over 17 years on average, so you get seasoned pros at a price that stays affordable.

AI review summary

Direct Entertainment receives consistent praise for strong communication throughout the planning process, with the owner Jim frequently mentioned for responsiveness and helpful coordination. DJs are regularly commended for reading the room well, keeping dance floors active, and accommodating last minute changes or special requests including multicultural music (Desi, Portuguese, Chinese, Vietnamese weddings). A few reviews note concerns about playlist adherence, with some couples reporting their requested songs were not played or do not play lists were ignored, though the majority describe seamless execution and professional service across DJ, photography, videography, and photo booth offerings.
