We had the absolute best time at our wedding—due in large part to our DJ Kelton!! We wanted our music to be authentic to us and not just the typical wedding music—we put our full faith in Luvd Up and Kelton and they did not disappoint. Kelton was organized and met with us multiple times to get to know us and our music style and ensure we were ready for the big day. We received so many compliments on our music! We would absolutely recommend Luvd Up!

DJ Turnip

  • DJ
  • Starts at $949
  • Serves Cheltenham, MD

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.

My wife and I were so fortunate to have picked DJ Torpedo & Co. for our May 2024 wedding in Georgetown. I feel music and the emcee often makes or breaks a great wedding, so I spent considerable time reviewing possible DJs to work with. We ended up going to DJ Addison, who at the time was considered a "first-year DJ." He exceeded all expectations. Addison was simply a treat to work with in the planning stages and was exceptionally on point and professional during the wedding day. He's funny but classy, professional but not uptight, willing to make on-the-fly changes, and kept the dance floor hopping during the reception. From his bridal party introductions to saying goodbye at the end of the night, he was simply great. Our wedding was moved inside at the last minute due to rain and he somehow relocated his setup on the fly and didn't complain or seem stressed during the chaos. DJ Torpedo offers a really wonderful music planning app that is easy to understand and pick your songs from ceremony to reception. The app has YouTube integration that allows you to easily assemble your playlists. DJ Torpedo (Josh, the owner) was always quick to respond to emails and calls and was an utmost professional throughout. A -- Devin & Jade.

Brian, our DJ was fantastic. He was so attentive and followed every request to a T. He was SO happy for us and truly genuine in his well wishes for me and my husband. He kept the dance floor packed all night, filled in the blanks where I couldn’t come up songs, and kept everything running smoothly! We appreciate him so much, and wish Mr. Brian the absolute best. Jim, the owner, was also extremely communicative and so easy to work with and kind. It’s more than just a business to them, they actually care about your special day.

All her photos and videos turned out amazing. The NYX staff was super professional and helpful. They also helped us coordinate the timeline and flow of events, and everything went really smoothly the day of. And not to mention, their DJ was fantastic!

Jeremy aka OneManJamz provided a flawless experience for our wedding day--the setup was perfect for the venue, he absolutely killed it with song transitions and a custom mix for special dances (father-daughter dance being a particular highlight), and communication along the way put us at ease. The onboarding/consult process was very clear, and we felt like the soundtrack reflected the party very well. The night went way too quickly, but largely because everyone was having so much fun on the dancefloor. Thanks again for such a memorable night.

DJ Neal was absolutely amazing at our July wedding in Purcellville, VA! From start to finish, his communication was excellent—clear, responsive, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire planning process. Our venue had the ceremony site, cocktail hour, and reception all in three separate areas, and DJ Neal was more than accommodating with his setup. Everything transitioned seamlessly and without any stress for us. He truly went above and beyond with the lighting setup as well. It completely transformed the space and looked incredible—it added so much to the overall atmosphere of the reception and the pricing was very inexpensive. Compared to other DJs we considered, his package options were incredibly well-priced for the level of service and quality he delivered. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ experience and would highly recommend DJ Neal to anyone looking for a professional, talented, and reliable DJ for their event!

Omg—our DJ was AMAZING! He understood the assignment and delivered beyond our expectations. Even though he asked for our input and allowed us to create our own playlist for the reception, we also gave him the freedom to do his thing—and he absolutely crushed it. From the perfect timing of the music to hyping up the crowd, every moment flowed with energy and fun. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Our communication from day one was incredible. Just let him know that we needed to discuss some things and he immediately made it happen. Very easy to work with. Huge kudos to you and your team for making the night unforgettable!

Brian truly went above and beyond for our wedding day.

We highly recommend DJ D-Mac as a wedding DJ. As a music lover, I labored over the playlist for our wedding and I wanted our reception to feel like a legitimate dancefloor with a legitimate DJ. What I can say about Daryl is that he made all the right calls throughout the night. He was constantly able to read the room, draw people in, and keep the energy levels high. His flow was infectious and kept the people dancing. Beyond that, he worked seamlessly with our other vendors and the venue to coordinate A/V logistics and was very collaborative with us throughout the process leading up to the big day. It was a blast.

Recent news: 24k is proud to have been chosen as the entertainment for the Washington Performing Arts Gala in 2026!

The energy, showmanship, hype, and FUN that 24K Event Band brought to our wedding reception was OUT OF THIS WORLD. I can't even count how many guests have told us, weeks and months after our wedding, how incredible they were. Our dance floor was packed all night long, and when the band was on their (well-deserved) break, Korey stayed out and led the crowd in the Cupid Shuffle!! When I think about what made our wedding day so special, I think about 24K. Maybe I'm still riding the wave of emotions that comes with planning a wedding, but I could cry thinking about how joyful our reception was because of 24K's musical magic. Each and every member of the band was kind, friendly, and excited to be there, which created an energy that circulated throughout the room. We cannot thank 24K enough for all that they did for us. Please, please hire them if you want to have the wedding of your dreams!

If you’ve had a good time at a wedding or event in the DC/Maryland/VA area, chances are it was DJ Casanova that got you moving. You know him as DJ Casanova, but around the office, we just call him Jamie. Back in the day, he was just a child of immigrants recording his favorite songs over his parent’s cassette tapes (sorry Mom and Dad) so he could listen to them on his prized Walkman. Jamie entered the DJ field in 2009, and before long he was spinning something at a different party every week. Pretty soon he realized that sharing his love of music with like-minded folks was more than just a hobby, it was a gift.

Awarded Best of Zola
Long story short - our guests endlessly rave about our dance floor!! Jamie was easy to work with, polite, timely, and professional. He provided an organized template that made it easy to provide the music we wanted. We appreciated his flexibility in allowing us to pick the playlist, while still using expertise to manage the flow and keep the dance floor going. By the end of the night, our guests were chanting for "one more song!" and he happily obliged! (not all DJs would!)

Scratch DJ Academy trained, mentored by DJ Jazzy Jeff, with club nights at Echostage a top-ranked club worldwide and Aura Nightclub at Atlantis Bahamas. That skill goes into every wedding, corporate event, and private party across DC, Maryland, and Virginia. Multicultural weddings are my specialty. Every set is built from scratch for your crowd, your cultures, your family I’m the DJ you talk to and the DJ who shows up. Goal every time: a dance floor that never clears.

Jason was great throughout the whole process! He was great at communicating and making sure he had all of the songs that we wanted (and didn’t) throughout the night. He also did a great job at adjusting the songs played based off of what our guests responded well to so people were on the dance floor all the time which I loved!! He collected a bunch of photos from us and displayed them on a screen that’s built into his DJ booth (I don’t know what it’s called) and many guests came up to us to specifically tell us that they loved seeing our pictures of us and our relationship as well as pics of us growing up. It’s something I don’t even think of doing, but Jason offered and I’m so glad he did! He also set up a photo booth that was very popular. He was great at making sure that things that I needed were just taken care of and went out of his way to coordinate with my wedding planner and kept me in the loop which I appreciated. We had a ton of kids at our wedding and he did a great job at playing clean (and popular) music that wasn’t raunchy. If I have any other events I’ll be sure to book Jason and I’d highly recommend him to any of my friends and family!

"DJ Phanatic" at Living Dreams Music LLC 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $700
  • Serves Cheltenham, MD

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.

My husband and I are so happy we worked with Bialek's Music on our wedding day! DJ Roscoe is a fantastic professional who spoke with us three times before our wedding to understand our timeline, the flow of the evening, and our music requests. He kept the night's energy high and was responsive and warm when taking requests from guests. He also provided flawless AV support for our wedding ceremony and toasts. On a personal note, we appreciated his calm, kind energy, excellent communication, and professionalism. We can't recommend DJ Roscoe and Bialek's Music enough!

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 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!
