Awarded Best of Zola
It’s hard to overstate how amazing the Bachelor Boys Band is – from the booking process through the many email exchanges in the month leading up to our wedding, Amber (our point of contact) was super responsive, professional, and flexible with our questions and requests, and on the day of the band was above and beyond our expectations! Every piece of the day was enhanced by the music, and from the ceremony (including sound support) to the cocktail hour to the reception it really felt like the band tailored their performance to fit our style. The ceremony music was beautiful and the trio we had (acoustic guitar, cello, flute) was able to play all of the requests my dad (who is a big classical music fan) picked out; the jazz music during cocktail hour was perfect; and our only regret of the whole day was that we didn’t get to spend more time on the dance floor during the reception. I loved that we didn’t have to go through a list and pick out every single song of the night, but rather gave the band a sense of what kind of music we wanted to hear and let them go with it – they totally nailed it! Our friends are still talking about how much fun the music was, and we are even making plans to throw a big party just so we can have an excuse to hire the band again. We were especially appreciative of the extra effort the band made to add special touches to the day, including setting my brother-in-law up with an extra guitar and microphone during the ceremony so he could play a song, and learning our first dance song so it could be played live instead of DJ-ed. Amber was also an amazing MC throughout the evening, and made sure everything moved smoothly from speeches to cake cutting to dancing. Finally, I don’t think you’ll find a better value for a band, and certainly not for a band of this caliber. We were shocked at some of the quotes we received when we were first researching, and couldn’t believe how reasonable the total cost was for ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception music – in addition to the time and energy we saved not having to coordinate with three different groups! We absolutely loved working with the Bachelor Boys Band, and would highly, highly recommend them to anyone getting married in the DC area!!! (Married June 2019)

Everyone at Born to DJ was helpful, professional, not to mention patient with our endless questions! They were so supportive throughout our planning process and their communication was top notch. At the actual wedding and reception, James did a superb job of keeping the dance floor filled, changing the music to fit the crowd. He ensured that the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and dancing music was in line with our requests. He always asked for our ideas and preferences, but had a knack for knowing when we needed to use his expertise. We were his first Filipina Money Dance couple!! :) Even my husband, who admits he is NOT a dancer, was on the floor most of the night with me! From what our friends tell us, James kept the party going after we left! They are truly a first class company and we would highly recommend them to anyone we know. Thank you Born to DJ for helping make our fairytale wedding a dream come true!

Our DJ/BAND HYBRIDs are carefully crafted to your needs giving you limitless musical possibilities! Your event is right around the corner... Get amped and GET AMP!

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring AMP was the all time BEST decision we could have made for our wedding! We had immediate comfort and trust in them from the first time we spoke, and the show they put on for our day was better than we ever could have imagined. They were incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the whole process of planning and had no problem with even the most far-fetched ideas (including my wife surprising me by getting up and playing the drums with the band). If we asked each and every person what their favorite part of our wedding was, hands down it was the music. Ana, Jimmy, and the rest of the band had everyone dancing the entire night without question. It was hit after hit after hit with the whole crowd! So many people rushed to us to ask how we got so lucky finding them. Ana and Jimmy truly respected and acknowledged everyone’s pronouns and made everyone in our family and party seen and comfortable through the entire process. AMP put their entire heart and soul into every performance. Their passion is so evident with each song they play, and their energy is just contagious. You cannot help but smile and dance throughout their whole set. And the TALENT! The talent is through the roof! All of our guests were completely shocked at the level of professionalism and talent AMP brought to our event. I cannot stress enough how utterly amazing AMP is. Do yourself a huge favor and book them, you will not regret it for a second.
