We had the absolute best experience with our wedding DJ! From the very beginning, we had multiple meetings to go over every detail and perfect our timeline. They were so organized, attentive, and truly cared about making sure everything flowed seamlessly. The lighting they provided added such a fun and elevated element to the entire reception space — it completely transformed the room and set the perfect vibe for the night. We also booked the photobooth through them, and it was a huge hit! Our guests had so much fun with it, and we loved that we received a book with all of the photo strips in addition to the full digital gallery. Such an amazing keepsake! Most importantly, our dance floor was packed the entire night. The music was spot on, and they read the crowd perfectly. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ to keep the energy high and the party going. Highly, highly recommend!

What could we ever say about Gemma and her beautiful company. The whole experience was seamless and fantastic. Everything was stress-free, appointments were booked with ease and scheduled timely. Not to mention the actual quality come wedding time. Gemma curated the perfect playlist. She is not your typical DJ that over talks on the mic or doesn't read the room. She is phenomenal at everything she does and keeps the vibe up the whole night! Likewise, her photographers Hanna and Kelton were epic! They captured so many moments while also letting us be a part of the experience and not taking away from genuine, candid moments. Kelton was all over the dance floor and really got into it without making anyone feel like there was always a flash or camera in their face. They all truly listened to what we were looking for in our vendors and delivered 100%! Our guest could not stop talking about the quality of each one of them, but also just how lovely of human beings they were!! 10/10 would recommend!

DJ Turnip 
Rating: 5.0 (16 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $949
  • Serves Alexandria, VA

When you hire DJ Turnip, you’re getting someone who genuinely cares about your experience from start to finish. As a single dad and a member of the LGBTQ+ community, he brings a personal level of inclusivity and heart into every event he’s part of. Whether you have a clear vision or need help shaping one, your event gets a fully customized soundtrack designed around your style, your people, and your goals.

Our experience with Jeff was excellent from start to finish, and we highly recommend him for any event. After contacting numerous DJs, we found that many were slow to respond, lacked transparent pricing, or spent more time trying to upsell us on extras we didn't want than learning about our vision. Jeff was exactly the opposite. Communication was prompt and effortless, his pricing was fair and transparent, and he offered everything we were looking for, including sound systems for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, as well as attending our rehearsal to ensure the ceremony music went smoothly. The true measure of a great wedding vendor, though, is how they handle the unexpected. During our reception, a miscommunication left our wedding coordinator absent for much of the evening. Without missing a beat, Jeff stepped in to help keep everything on track, coordinating announcements for speeches, cake cutting, our first dance, and a group photo. He struck exactly the low-key, relaxed tone we wanted and quietly kept the evening moving behind the scenes. Jeff was professional, dependable, and genuinely invested in making our wedding a success. We're so grateful we found him and wouldn't hesitate to hire him again.

Brian truly went above and beyond for our wedding day. He was so flexible during the planning process when I was having trouble making up my mind and offered suggestions to help make the day run smoothly (and it did!). I feel like I'm pretty picky about music and was anxious about how everything would flow together, but Brian did such an amazing job.

Kelton and his team gave us the absolute party of a lifetime! We worked with Kelton early on in the planning process, and he was nothing but fun, organized, and easy to work with. He paired us with DJ Trevor for the wedding day, and it could not have been better. From the first call, Trevor was high-energy and truly passionate about working with us and the venue to make our vision a reality. He went above and beyond to assist my husband's family in performing a live song during the ceremony, providing all the equipment they needed and more. He worked flawlessly behind the scenes to keep the music flowing perfectly as we transitioned between different areas of the venue, and he made sure everyone giving a speech felt prepared and had exactly what they needed.

Daryle (DJ D Mac) created the exact vibe we were craving for our wedding. After multiple postponements due to COVID, our guests were ready to dance and celebrate like never before. We asked Daryle to create a dance-club-like atmosphere where everyone could let loose—and he absolutely delivered. Every time we asked our guests what they thought of the wedding, they raved about how incredibly fun the dance floor was. From start to finish, Daryle was organized, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. His deep understanding of mixing music and his uncanny ability to read the room and adjust to the energy were particularly impressive. We also had a few unique requests, like including a drag queen lip sync performance. Daryle coordinated seamlessly with our performer, making it a highlight of the night. He also went above and beyond to ensure our first dances were perfectly timed and elegantly handled. If you’re looking for a DJ who will elevate your event, we couldn’t recommend DJ D Mac more highly. He made our wedding unforgettable, and we’re so grateful for his talent and professionalism.

24k Event Band 
Rating: 5.0 (12 reviews)
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Alexandria, VA

24k Event Band is THE DMV's ultimate entertainment experience. Quick to respond, flexible, personable, with outstanding vocals, musicians and leadership, your party will be the one to beat. 24k is a premium experience from the first call to the very end. It is our goal to make certain we meet your expectations and will work with you to create your vision in every way. We couldn't be more proud to share this band with the DMV, and I know you will be as thrilled as I am, from the first organizing steps to the last note! Recent news: 24k is proud to have been chosen as the entertainment for the Washington Performing Arts Gala in 2026!

I first encountered 24k at a wedding that I attended in 2022. When it came time for my wedding, I remembered how they were so lively and energetic, and I inquired if they could come out a little further, even though my (June 2026) wedding was in West Virginia. The band was both flexible and easy-going about that and they DID NOT DISAPPOINT on the dance floor! Jill was the main point of contact and she asked all the right questions, including very kindly making doubly sure that everyone’s names were pronounced correctly during reception introductions (there were Chinese, European, and African names in the mix!). We made specific requests for the Bridal Party intro and First Dance songs that the band agreeably accommodated. For example, I entered into the reception with the Wyclef Jean song “911” and the band DJ’ed the song at the right parts so that my friend and vocalist could sing it live as my husband I entered the reception area (I’m 5’1” and the song references an “assailant” who is 5’1”, so it was important to get the timing right for comedic effect!) They were open to that collaboration that made the event more fun. We also asked that the lyrics of the Avett Brothers song “January Wedding” be changed to “June Wedding” when the band performed the First Dance. In terms of their actual performance, 24k BROUGHT IT (!!!). Besides sounding fantastic, the band members have great chemistry with each other and appear to actually just enjoy the music themselves. We had a diverse guest list (188 guests), and family members old and very young, co-workers, church and other friends, and friends from our martial arts dojo community, were all on the dance floor. Folks were having a GREAT time. The band maintained energy on the floor until the very end. Even the venue staff at our open bar were dancing along all night; and our wedding coordinator staff shared with me how “amazing” they thought 24K was when I walked past them! I should also mention that the individual band members I interacted with during the night were very kind and engaging. One mentioned to me that he had read the answers to our couple Bingo Trivia game that was posted and that he felt like he knew us already from reading it! You could see this open spirit in the performance of the band. After our Grand Exit, my husband and I walked about a 100 yards to our lodgings on the venue site (The Bavarian Inn); however, we stopped on our balcony to hear the band lead the guests in singing the song “Country Roads” to close out the night. We watched the twinkly lights sparkling in the distance as we heard the joy of both the band and the guests. It was truly remarkable! After the wedding, MANY guests commented on how much they enjoyed 24k’s live performance. There is a world of difference between a DJ and a quality live band, and having 24k –a *very high* quality band – made our wedding celebration so much more special, joyous, and FUN!

"DJ Phanatic" at Living Dreams Music LLC 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $700
  • Serves Alexandria, VA

DJ Phanatic has been a masterful DJ for numerous years. He has over 30 years of DJ experience and several years of producing music. Phanatic loves to entice his listeners and fans with his talents. Phanatic believes that music is the voice of the soul and that by being a DJ/Music Producer, he allows others to feel the music in a truly enjoyable way – the DJ Phanatic way! Phanatic loves to entertain, bring joy to others, and bring out human expression through music. Phanatic got his start on the 1’s and 2’s by DJing for school dances and local functions. He quickly went on to bigger events, showcasing his skills at countless events!

My experience with DJ Phanatic at Living Dreams Music LLC wasn’t just great, it was unforgettable across multiple events. I’ve seen him work his magic at my wedding, a close friend’s Sweet 16, and my uncle’s retirement party, and each time he brought a completely unique energy that fit the occasion perfectly. At my wedding, he helped shape the entire atmosphere from start to finish. Every song felt intentional and meaningful. He knew exactly when to keep things elegant and romantic, and when to lift the energy and get everyone on the dance floor. Guests of all ages were engaged, which is not easy to pull off, but he handled it effortlessly. At my friend’s Sweet 16, the vibe was totally different in the best way. It was high energy, current, and exciting. He blended hip hop, pop, and Afrobeats in a way that kept the younger crowd fully engaged, while still mixing in throwbacks that got everyone involved. The transitions were smooth and the momentum never dropped. For my uncle’s retirement party, he created a warm and nostalgic feel that really matched the moment. The mix of old school R&B, classic rock, reggae, calypso, merengue, and oldies but goodies felt like a celebration of a lifetime of memories. It was thoughtful, well balanced, and had people smiling and dancing all night. What truly sets DJ Phanatic apart is his ability to move across genres and generations with ease. A great DJ needs to understand how to blend R&B, pop, hip hop, rock, reggae, calypso, merengue, and Afrobeats without losing the crowd, and he does that seamlessly. His timing is precise, his transitions are clean, and his awareness of the room is exceptional. He also understands that every venue and every event is different. Whether it is a wedding, a private party, or a milestone celebration, he adapts his approach to match the energy and the audience. That level of versatility and attention to detail makes a huge difference. Beyond the technical skills like beatmatching and mixing, he brings real passion to what he does. You can feel that he cares about creating an experience, not just playing music. If you want a DJ who can deliver an incredible experience for any event and any crowd, DJ Phanatic at Living Dreams Music LLC truly stands out.

Kelton from Marquee Artists was amazing! He was a communicative and active participant in the planning of the music and the announcements at my wedding on March 9. Kelton provided an extensive list of potential songs to play in a shared Google Document with columns for “play” and “do not play” which was great. Also, I was impressed that he attended the walk through of the Whittemore House a month prior to the wedding, asking pertinent questions of the Whittemore staff about the placement of various things and how best to provide the sound amplification that would be needed. He provided wireless mics which worked really well for the toasts. Kelton did a great job as the master of ceremony and his mix of the selected music was fun and fabulous. He had the crowd dancing, rocking to the music. Many of the older folks told me that they hadn’t danced in years but were having lots of fun doing so then. Having him on our wedding team instilled so much confidence in me, my daughter and new son-in-law, who is an amateur DJ. They were so taken by Kelton that, if possible, they would like to attend future events at which Kelton is the DJ!! I HIGHLY recommend him.

We hired DJ Night vision from McGlawn Enterprises for our corporate event and couldn't have been happier with the choice. From our first conversation, he was open and easy to talk to, which made planning the music feel like a real collaboration rather than a transaction. He nailed every song selection—reading the room perfectly and keeping our guests dancing all night long. What really stood out was his cool, laid-back personality that brought such great vibes to the whole event. The quality of his work was excellent, and his pricing was fair for what he delivered. We'd absolutely recommend him to any couple looking for a DJ who actually cares about making their day special.

We had a wonderful time working with Lucy Black Entertainment. They were very accommodating as we kept making changes to our music preferences. We worked with DJ Tezrah, who kept everyone on the dance floor all night long. So many people complicated us on having amazing music - and it was all Tezrah! We really appreciated how easy it was to communicate with the staff. They also had a bunch of suggestions when we were struggling to figure out how to move forward with various music ideas, and that really helped us flesh out our own vision. I would definitely recommend working with them!
