“We don’t even know where to start with this review! From the start, Ben and his team took our and our family’s questions about how to approach our wedding. With half of our family being Latino, it took some time to find the right fit in the area. We wanted a good mix where the entire room could have fun and feel included. Ben absolutely nailed it day of. We’ve heard from multiple guests how they’ve never seen a wedding dance floor full for the whole wedding like at ours and how there was music for everyone. Aside from that, Summit invested time in us before the wedding through multiple planning calls and their awesome app where we can slowly build out our event with preferences. We will be recommending Summit to anyone that asks and look forward to any future partnership. Your search can definitely end here!”

“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!”

Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • DJ
  • 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!!”
