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.

He paired us with DJ Trevor for the wedding day, and it could not have been better.

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.

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 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. I 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 National Women's Art Museum in October!

Every time someone asks me what the highlight of our wedding was, I laugh — because as much as I loved each moment that I spent with my new husband, the real answer is THE BAND. From the second those opening chords of “Hot To Go” hit, I genuinely felt like I had died and gone to heaven. The energy was unreal. The dance floor was packed, the vibe was electric, and it was everything I had dreamed of and more. The lead singers were not only exceptionally talented, but also so kind, warm, and gracious. I have a musical background, and after a martini, I felt brave enough to join this marvelous band on stage, and they made me feel like an absolute rockstar (even though I’m quite sure I didn’t sound like one). Their presence and energy completely transformed the night. Our wedding would not have been the same without them — I truly mean that with my whole heart. And I have to give a special shoutout to the bass player — his energy was infectious! I seriously wanted to run over and give him the biggest hug. You could just feel how much joy the whole band brought to the stage. If you’re considering booking this band — DO IT. I am officially their #1 fan and will sing their praises to anyone who will listen. Thank you for giving us the most unforgettable night of our lives.

DJ Casanova Productions 
Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Derwood, MD

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
DJ Casanova was recommended to us by our venue and we could not have been happier with our decision to have him DJ our wedding reception. He is extremely organized and responsive. He shared a wedding planning sheet with us that allowed us to build our timeline and reception playlist. He also allowed us to create our own playlists for cocktail hour and dinner music (though he has some of his own playlists that we 'stole' some songs from too). What really made DJ Casanova stand out was that he met with us virtually (we don't live in the DMV area) multiple times before our wedding. His main focus during the first session was to learn about us as individuals and a couple, as well as our families. The second session was focused on logistics, name pronunciations, etc. He was extremely receptive to our requests and made the wedding day exactly what we wanted. Many of our guests asked us how we found our DJ because they were so blown away with the musical selections he played and how friendly he was during the reception. We give our highest recommendation!

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.

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!

Music by Anthem was a wonderful addition to our wedding day. Chelle, the violinist, was so warm and kind in our interactions leading up to the day, and assured us during the prep that she was a prompt person and that she'd arrive quite early to the venue before our event - sounds like a small thing, but her integrity and commitment really gave us such peace of mind when we were focusing on all the other details of our wedding day. Chelle's beautiful violin playing was perfect as a solo performer, and her services were very reasonably priced. Getting to pick her setlist was amazing, and she happily learned several songs she didn't know, including the one we walked down the aisle to. Chelle is so talented and clearly loves to share her craft with others. We are so grateful for her helping to make our special day truly memorable!

Kelton from Marquee Artists 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!

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.

Growing up, DJ Theo would tag along with his father DJ Leo. By providing assistance and being “hands on” during the setup of mobile DJ equipment, assisting as an emcee and mixing during the events, DJ Theo was able to gather the necessary skills to begin a DJ career in the Washington D.C. Metro area. DJ Theo is able to deejay for large crowds and has the ability to entertain at weddings and corporate events with a variety of music. Using the latest software and professional sound equipment, DJ Theo is able to combine music to satisfy guests of all ages, keeping everyone dancing.

DJ Theo did an amazing job at our wedding. Everyone loved the music and have been asking for copy’s of our playlist. He was very friendly and helpful with last minute changes and add ins to our timeline.

I'm a fun & passionate DJ based out of Beltsville, MD. As owner of Raise The Roof Entertainment, I provide entertainment services for weddings and private celebrations such as graduation parties, proms, homecomings, and reunions. While I enjoy mainly R&B/Soul and Hip-Hop, I am very well rounded in other genres such as Motown, Reggae, Rock, Pop, and Techno.

From the moment we connected, EJ was professional, responsive, and genuinely excited about making our wedding unforgettable. He took the time to understand our music preferences, suggested perfect additions to our playlist, and flawlessly mixed songs that kept the dance floor packed all night. Our guests still talk about how fun and personalized the music felt. He didn’t just play music—he created an experience. The transitions were smooth, his energy was contagious, and he knew exactly how to read the crowd. He also served as a fantastic MC, guiding the evening seamlessly without ever stealing the spotlight. If you’re looking for a DJ in the DMV who’s talented, reliable, and passionate about what he does—book him now. You won’t regret it. He’ll be one of the best decisions you make. We even rebooked him for our baby shower.
