TCC Productions

5.0

Bowie, MD

Welcome to our page! I'm Maurice, and I'm the founder and lead DJ here at TCC Productions (formerly "Covenant Child Productions"). Since 2010, we've been rocking events across DC / Maryland / Virginia and beyond. We’ve been fortunate to DJ at company parties, live concerts, private house parties, and more. But weddings are particularly dear to us. It’s always an honor to join couples in their celebration of love. We would love to be a part of your celebration as well!

“We are so glad we chose Maurice (The Covenant Child DJ) for our wedding. Maurice responded very quickly to our initial inquiry on wedding wire and after our first call we knew it was a good fit. Maurice was very helpful in planning our music and the timing for our wedding. He sent us a link to an application that he uses (called Vibo) that allowed us to input our song choices for different parts of the wedding (processional, recessional, cocktail hour, first dance, dinner music, dance music, etc.). This was incredibly helpful because the app lets you search songs from Youtube, Spotify, and Apple Music and upload it there. We are a couple from mixed backgrounds so having this was super helpful to include music that both of our families could enjoy and have a solid set of songs. We chose about 30 songs and let Maurice fill in the rest, and he did an absolutely amazing job filling out the playlist and choosing songs that got the guests dancing. He even did some research on Malagasy songs and included them at different parts of the wedding. He even did a custom mix for us for our first dance! Maurice also helped out by suggesting timing for the different elements of the ceremony and reception. Maurice was very generous with his time during planning and really went above and beyond to help us plan the day. On wedding day, Maurice was great. He was an active, lively DJ and was very helpful with announcements, keeping us on schedule, and getting the guests involved in the wedding. He led us through some different games, and played a perfect set of music. Maurice did a great job reading the crowd and playing the hits that got different groups dancing. Toward the end of the night he played hit after hit and had us and our friends dancing... we didn't want to leave the dance floor!! Thank you so much Maurice for everything, you were a huge part of making our wedding special and we will forever appreciate it!”

“It’s an understatement to say that the Toussaint Production team both Alex and our Dj Gabriel kept our wedding ALIVE! From beginning to end they kept a read on the crowd and made sure to not only give our guests a breather, but to also give them a reason to come back to the dance floor. The countless compliments from our friends and family on what an amazing DJ and team we had found only justifies our feelings of gratitude we have developed for this business. Not only were Alex and Gabriel’s performance the highlight of our wedding, the planning process was very simple yet extremely detailed. Their pre-event app they offer and phone call meetings helped us lay out exactly what our wants and needs were. They also contributed and helped us in mapping together our event timeline to have a better flow for the evening with the right songs at the right moments. To say they are masters at what they do is an understatement. We also chose to add on uplighting and Photo Booth options to our package and we are so happy we did!!! The uplighting enhanced the romantic mood we had curated for dinner and completely changed the atmosphere during the dancing portion of the evening. The Photo Booth was easy to use and we were able to see and save every photo that was taken throughout the night. Following the event, they have remained in contact with my husband and I with any questions or requests we have had. I can not praise them or their team enough. We will undoubtedly contact their event team and DJ for any and all events we have in the future and we will recommend them until our last breath!!”

“Christopher, an attorney in NY- NJ and I, a Chiropractor in the Virgin Islands, are very busy with our careers. It was difficult planning a wedding, so we required vendors that are easy to work with. Mike always answered our emails and texts and returned phone calls ASAP. We reviewed different DJ's and selected Mike because we wanted Latin Caribbean music plus American music for our entertainment. We put together a last-minute wedding reception plan, we sent the recommendations to Mike, and he worked everything perfectly. He was able to get a feel for the crowd and put music together that worked perfectly. Mike put together a timeline that was perfect, and we were able to accommodate all aspects of our reception, which included lots of dancing. Choosing Mike was one of the best decisions in my wedding planning. Mike is easy to work with and very prompt in responding to questions. Mike is a DJ we would highly recommended. Thanks Mike.”

Just "Music" Entertainment

Alexandria, VA

I am a christian, that much should be obvious. I am a product of the hip hop culture, but I’ve always loved music even before I gave my life to CHRIST. When I first entered into relationship with GOD thru CHRIST there weren’t a lot godly examples in hip hop music. This has changed over the last 10 – 15 years. This shift has drawn me back to my culture and has awaken my interest in DJing. I have been spinning for 7+ years, and I never stop learning. I love playing in front of people, and there is nothing like that energy.

Washington, DC

DJ
Starts at $1,600

I've spent the past 15+ years offering my musical knowledge to events all over the world. That experience translates to DJing weddings and events so seamlessly, from being able to read crowds and deliver exactly what you and your guests want, to managing logistics from the DJ booth in an effortless manner. Whether you want a folk-laden cocktail hour, a classic dinner playlist, or a modern dance party, let me be the one to provide the soundtrack to the most important day of your life!

“We used Jeremy as the DJ for our wedding in 2018, and he was an absolute star. He did the music at my company's holiday party the year before, and we knew we wanted to find him for our wedding! His organization and professionalism were top notch - and filling out the "must play" and "must not play" lists was really fun to do - we got to think about all of our favorite songs that we were excited to hear, and make sure he knew which songs were off limits for us. Because of that, our wedding felt super personalized, and we loved every song that played! We were also particularly thrilled with his execution of cocktail hour - we requested instrumental versions of modern/classic rock songs, and he found SO MANY great versions of so many great songs. When we talk to family and friends about our wedding, they without fail mention how much they loved the instrumental version of "Wake Me Up Inside" by Evanescence. After our wedding, we recommended him to friends of ours and we got to see him again at their wedding the following year! I would give him more stars than 5 if I could.”

“Kelton is awesome - he killed it dj-ing for the clients, the dance floor was non-stop going nuts the whole time! His demeanor is super low-key and easy going, and he was very easy to work with, which means a lot in this field. Weddings have lots of moving parts and can be chaotic, but having vendors that are kind and willing to work as a team makes the day go a whole lot smoother. The couple had lots of requests for songs in completely different genres, but he managed to keep the party going with no awkward pauses and seamless transitions. I highly recommend hiring him if you want someone that's going to work well with everyone and make sure to light the dance floor on fire!”
