Brandon also helped me surprise my now husband with a special dedication song that made his night and had all our guests smiling. He was a great communicator who truly got to know us and our guests to create a special night. The Photo Booth, run by his wife, was also a huge hit.

“We were certain we wanted to work with Alex / Toussaint Productions halfway through our introduction call. We immediately knew that Alex would not only show up for us on our wedding day, but he would really get the party started. I think each of us (me, my husband, and Alex) were not sure how or what to expect from our diverse wedding guest list. Well, Alex worked his magic and had our dance floor PACKED throughout the entire reception! I still am blown away by just how epic and fun our ceremony was. I knew my people would show up, but Alex truly kept everyone going until it was time to bring the party elsewhere. Every single one of our guests raved about Alex to us after the wedding, and we still have people mentioning to us about how awesome our dj was. Aside from what he brought to the table on our wedding day, Alex and his team are professional, kind, and just simply passionate about their work. I would book with Toussaint Productions again and again, and cannot recommend them enough!”

Chris Funkhouser (who seriously brought the funk!) was amazing to work with! During our consultations he was able to answer all our questions and concerns. He was able to put his swing on things from his experience to help provide the right vibes we were looking for. We pretty much already knew all the songs that we wanted to play so the program they used was perfect! It was detailed in the timing of the night, how long or short to play songs and any other special requests we wanted to have. On the night of the wedding, Chris was a blast -energetic, observant, and focused on keeping the dance floor alive all night long. He even joined us out there, helping to keep the party going strong!

My husband and I felt so comfortable with the services he recommended and appreciated the time he took to talk through typical timeline for DJs and coordinators leading up to the big day. We booked a DJ and month of coordinator and were wow’d. Our DJ, Chris Laing, was extremely professional in the way he led our introductory and timeline calls. He truly listened to what kind of vibe we wanted for our wedding and executed it perfectly. In the words of my husband, friends, and family, our wedding was lit! Our coordinator Becca Manning was very kind on our introduction call. Unfortunately, there was an error in the system and she was double booked but she found us the most amazing coordinator, Nikki Clark.

“My husband and I used Direct Entertainment for our DJ and videographer for our wedding and we could not be more pleased!! The team was professional, great at communication, very kind and professional, and they helped make our day absolutely perfect! Jeff, our DJ kept the dance floor alive ALL NIGHT!! When the music had to stop at the end of the night, the dance floor was still completely full and no one wanted it to end. He did a great job announcing the events of the night, made sure that our ceremony music was perfect, and he stuck to our wedding playlist with the exception for a couple guest requests (which we were happy to allow). We were so happy and thankful to have Jeff there! Sie, our videographer also did a wonderful job! We have not yet received our video as our wedding was less than 2 weeks ago, but I already know it is going to be amazing. He was so great with communication, was prompt with his timing, and he even set up a second camera for guests to break away and give us well wishes for our marriage, which I'm so excited to watch back. He was very professional and wonderful to work with. We decided to add videography at the last minute because we thought we might regret not having it, and I am SO happy we asked Jim at Direct Entertainment if they had someone available for our day just a month before, and they did!! Jim, the coordinator at Direct Entertainment frequently checked in with us, asked us questions about ourselves, and genuinely made us feel like he cared about us and our special day. He was great to work with leading up to being assigned our designated DJ and videographer, and even after, he checked in to make sure we were happy and that all of the planning was going well. Overall, we would 1000% recommend Direct Entertainment for any wedding entertainment needs! I know they also offer several other services that we did not utilize, and I'm sure they are wonderful as well! Photos courtesy of Lang at Wandering Wolf Photography.”

“We had the pleasure of working with DJ Wong from MyDeejay. A quick review of MyDeejay: They were excellent to work with. They paired us with DJ Wong after we filled out a quick survey about the vibe we wanted for our wedding, and it was smooth sailing from there. It's clear from working DJ Wong that MyDeejay vets their DJs very well and ensures they're all professional and great to work with. Now for DJ Wong: He's got all of the main things you want in a vendor--professionalism, responsiveness, expertise, etc.), but he goes well above and beyond those standards. He provided ceremony music, background music, reception music, and uplighting, but that's just the starting point of everything he did for us. We were PICKY and we had A LOT of requests, and he accommodated them all flawlessly and eagerly. We requested he alter versions of some of our selected songs to adjust for timing, blending parts of songs together, and very particular transitions between songs. He made everything sound amazing! We had not 1, not 2, but FIVE choreographed dances throughout the evening, and he executed the timing of everything perfectly. The sound was incredible! In addition to that, because we were completely over-the-top for our wedding, DJ Wong so graciously and excitedly fulfilled our request to have KARAOKE at our reception. It was SO MUCH FUN!!! We had a very particular vibe in mind from our wedding--we wanted our ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner to be classy and jazzy, and then for the reception dancing we wanted a mix of Pop anthems from the past 3 decades--DJ Wong understood the assignment perfectly! We were also at a very large venue and he had to provide sound across many different areas throughout the evening, but he came fully prepared and did an excellent job. We received so many compliments about the ambience for the entire evening, and we attribute that to him! On top of everything else, DJ Wong is an excellent MC and can read a room flawlessly. He kept the vibes up the entire evening, and struck the perfect balance of engaging with the audience and letting the music do the work. We are so grateful we had him for our special day!”

From guiding the flow of the day to packing the dance floor all night long, I strive to make every event seamless, energetic, and stress-free. When I'm not behind the DJ booth, I'm spending time with my wife and kids, always finding new inspiration to bring even more excitement to the celebrations I have the privilege of being part of. After all, we're all about taking weddings from vows to vibes.

“If I could give Prime Time Event Group 6 stars, I would (and it still wouldn't be enough). Frank and his team kept our wedding reception on the dance floor all night, through not only a playlist of bangers but also an acute sense of what song to shift into if the previous one seemed a little lackluster with the crowd (which only happened once anyway). Working with him was so easy and he's so personable; he truly made us feel more excited about the wedding every time we talked. We will be recommending him to everybody we know getting married in the area! They're amazing!”

“We loved our experience with DJ Eric at HB Productions! Despite the complexity of our venue having multiple different spaces that needed sound, he did an amazing job of setting up sound systems throughout the venue to ensure that our wedding day went smoothly! He had a perfect sound set up during our wedding ceremony with microphones available so that everyone could hear it despite it being outdoors. And during the dancing portion of our wedding, DJ Eric kept the energy up and kept our guests dancing! We had a planning call where he confirmed what vibe we wanted for our music, dancing, and party, and he brought the energy! We got numerous compliments about our DJ, and he did such a great job. We highly recommend HB Productions!”

“Josh and Traci are a dream team. It was a pleasure to work with them. From the first phone consultation, I knew I had made the right choice. Josh was extremely amenable to all requests and went above and beyond to help ensure an incredible experience. My reception was so much fun in large part thanks to Josh’s DJing. Tracey did a wonderful job with the Photo Booth from the background to the props to ensuring a fun experience for us and our guests. I really could not recommend them higher. We got so much added value from their services. We definitely got our money’s worth—more than we paid for really. I highly recommend them both!”

“We used Sam Hill Entertainment to book the band “The Dickens”. This is the part of our wedding everyone is still talking about. They played such a variety that every age was able to enjoy. Not a single person was sitting at the tables while the Dickens were on the stage. They were very interactive with the crowd and even let the groom (a guitar player) get up there and jam out with them. This was such a fun addition to the wedding and we loved every minute of it!”

Starts at $1,600
Serves Dayton, VA

Seth Casana is a wedding DJ, musician, and entertainment consultant based in Fredericksburg, Virginia. He enjoys throwing a good party and has had plenty of opportunities to do so with his creative projects including Elby Brass, Whurk Magazine, Art Attack Project, and Spaghettifest. He is a JMU alum and spent several years in the Marching Royal Dukes and as a DJ at WXJM 88.7 FM. His decades of experience in a wide range of performance environments allow him to consistently deliver excellence as a wedding DJ.

“Where do I even begin?! Seth was absolutely incredible and played such a huge part in making our wedding the best night of our lives. From the very beginning, he was a consummate professional, organized, and so easy to work with. He stayed in touch throughout the planning process, sent helpful spreadsheets, and made creating our perfect wedding playlist completely stress-free. The energy he brought to our reception was unmatched. Our dance floor was packed all night long, and guests are still talking about how much fun they had. Adding Seth's disco light package was one of the best decisions we made, it completely transformed the space and created the most magical atmosphere. What meant the most to us was how invested he was in making our day special. Toward the end of the night, he even let my husband jump into the DJ booth, which became one of our favorite memories. Seth, thank you for helping create memories we'll cherish forever. We are beyond grateful for everything you did. If you're considering booking him, do it…you will not regret it!”

“For bride and grooms to be - do yourself a favor and look no further, seriously! Jordan was amazing during the entire planning process, he always replied in a timely manner and made every little request I had seem like no biggie and made it happen! He provides access to an online portal (extremely cool!!) which gives you the opportunity to give him a general idea of the type of music you want and keeps things extremely organized...Now more importantly, he literally had the crowd on the dance floor the ENTIRE time... and I’m not exaggerating. (People were texting me days later that they’re sore from dancing the whole night!) He is able to read the crowd and deliver. Its been a few months since the wedding and I STILL receive compliments about the DJ - how incredible the music was and how awesome his lighting work was. If you want the best of the best, you’ve found it!!”
