Jana painted two wonderful portraits of our cats, Zack and Toby. They were brothers, but as different in character as two cats could be. Jana was able to capture not only their beautiful colors, but the specific look in their faces, especially their eyes, that made them such distinct individuals. Both paintings have center stage in our living room, and help us to remember the cats we loved so dearly. Diane Riley – Swanzey NH Jana is a wonderful artist. She has painted 3 pictures from photographs for me and one pencil sketch from a photograph. The pencil sketch was from a photo of my dog; it looks just like her and I’m very happy to have it because my dog passed away a year and a half ago, so I really appreciate having that sketch hanging on my wall where I can look at it every day. She also did a wonderful painting of my parrot which hangs right behind her cage—very colorful. The other 2 pictures she painted for me were for my granddaughter—a picture of her horse and her Beagle. They are fantastic paintings as well, and my granddaughter was blown away when I gave her those paintings. Jana also has a fabulous imagination so if you have a photo of a person or pet that you would like to have painted in a different setting, she could do it. I’ll never forget the year she carved a pumpkin for the Keene Pumpkin Festival using her baby as a model. The carving on that pumpkin looked just like her baby—incredible!! Do not hesitate to hire Jana for all your artistic needs; she can do anything!! Sue Johnson – Keene NH

I personally would like to recommend Jana Blake- aka NH Artistic Services as your DJ for your wedding, family parties or any event where you need a DJ service.  Jana is very personal, professional and people friendly.  My family and I booked a DJ for our daughters wedding, even paid a deposit and several weeks before our daughters wedding we found out the DJ had booked a larger wedding and backed out of our event.  I called Jana who was available and came to our rescue at a last minute notice.  She was such a delight, excellent at announcing and working with our guests on music. My family and I highly recommend Jana for your DJ needs!

My wife Suzanne and I recently had our wedding in Newport, RI at the historic OceanCliff Hotel. http://www.newportexperience.com/#!oceancliff/cbqf Our wedding was held on July 3rd 2016.  Jana Blake’s DJing service was referred to us by family.  We reached out to Jana a few months in advance of our wedding.  Jana was very quick to confirm her availability for the July 4th weekend.  She immediately asked us for some info via her extensive Agenda and asked that we please send all of the info back to her by May 30th.  Admittedly, we were very busy and managed to not send her all of our info and all of ourself-picked playlists until approx. 1 week before our wedding.  We were shocked that she didn’t cancel! Instead, Jana worked diligently to pull everything together and even met with us several times to fine tune all of the logistics, go over the final playlists, and to customize her own process to our liking and needs prior to the wedding.  When the wedding weekend arrived, Jana showed up for the rehearsal and once again walked through the process with us to ensure she was meeting all of our expectations and to alleviate some of the wedding stress we had been carrying by also working with the wedding event planners at OceanCliff to finalize preparations. On the day of the wedding (we had a day wedding), Jana arrived extremely early in the AM (earlier than ANYONE ELSE) to set up and test all of her equipment; well before anyone arrived. From the ceremony and through the reception Jana executed flawlessly.  She stuck to the plan, and did so with a smile on her face.  As weddings go, there are always some things that don’t go as planned.  In this case we had some folks not do what they were supposed to do, which compromised the timing of the music we had planned in our playlist for several wedding activities.  Jana was very quick to re-loop music or play additional music ad-hoc, which made it seem that all events went exactly as planned.  Even many guests were exclaiming about the fine job the DJ did throughout the wedding and how friendly she was toward our loved ones.  Moreover, we would recommend Jana’s services to our closest friend and family and if we ever need a DJ for future events she will be the 1st one we call.  BRAVO JANA!
Sincerely,
Erik & Suzanne Riley – Quincy MA

In June of 2017 my wife and I thought we would do something really special for our 50th Anniversary and started the planning for a big celebration. We made a list of what we wanted and started putting things in place. One the things on our list were music. We decided to hire a DJ because we wanted to choose the music and we wanted the music to be played continuously. We tried in vain to find someone local and became very discouraged and disappointed in what was available. 

I had spoken to my nephew about our plans for a 50th Anniversary celebration and mentioned I was having a hard time finding a DJ; he looked at me and said my wife Jana is a DJ and he would talk to her when he got home. A few days later I felt like I needed to contact her and set a time and place to meet. Prior to meeting she sent a contract, a list of music, and a questionnaire about what and how you wanted our celebration and music to be conducted.

Jana made our day extra special! She had every detail of our celebration covered. I found Jana to be very professional, trustworthy, and a kind and considerate person. During this time I learned a lot about Jana. She is dedicated to her work. The planning and work she put into DJing our celebration and making sure we had the greatest Anniversary ever was unbelievable. We think of our 50th often because of how happy we were. 

To those of you who are thinking of a wedding or Anniversary, you owe it to yourselves to contact Jana! 

Jana! We thank you for everything you did for us.

Sincerely,

Donald and Sondra Blake – Swanzey NH
