You can add custom error messages to validate in Sequelize. Please refer this

class User extends Model {}
    User.init({
      name: {
        type: DataTypes.STRING,
        allowNull: false,
        validate: {
          notNull: {
            msg: 'Please enter your name'
          }
        }
      }
    }, { sequelize });
