Jake Esckilsen has spent years in the music industry as both an artist and a music producer — long before 413 Entertainment existed, he was already chasing the feeling of a room moving together to the right song at the right moment.

For five years, Jake DJed weddings and corporate events on the side while working with Bee Entertainment, learning the craft of reading a room from the back of hundreds of receptions. That experience became the seed for something of his own — a company built around one belief: your wedding deserves someone who treats it like the only event that night, because it is.

Today, 413 Entertainment is fully owner-operated. When you book Jake, you get Jake — on your planning calls, at your venue walkthrough, and behind the booth on your wedding day.
