What could we ever say about Gemma and her beautiful company. The whole experience was seamless and fantastic. Everything was stress-free, appointments were booked with ease and scheduled timely. Not to mention the actual quality come wedding time. Gemma curated the perfect playlist. She is not your typical DJ that over talks on the mic or doesn't read the room. She is phenomenal at everything she does and keeps the vibe up the whole night! Likewise, her photographers Hanna and Kelton were epic! They captured so many moments while also letting us be a part of the experience and not taking away from genuine, candid moments. Kelton was all over the dance floor and really got into it without making anyone feel like there was always a flash or camera in their face. They all truly listened to what we were looking for in our vendors and delivered 100%! Our guest could not stop talking about the quality of each one of them, but also just how lovely of human beings they were!! 10/10 would recommend!

I just wanted to take a moment to thank Jason for the fantastic job he did as our DJ at our daughter's wedding! Jason was very professional and just a pleasure to work with! From start to finish, you truly made Alex and Sam's day extra special! The music was perfect—every song you played set the right mood and kept the energy high all night. We’ve received nothing but compliments from our guests about how great the playlist was and how much fun they had on the dance floor. You really knew how to read the crowd and keep everyone dancing all night! I think Breakin' Free from High School Musical was a highlight—Alex and Sam looked so cute; I couldn’t stop smiling! Thanks again for being such a key part of their celebration. The memories of that unforgettable dance party will be cherished for years to come.

We could not write enough amazing things regarding our experience with Baltimore Sound Entertainment. We booked a DJ (Jeff) and a glam photo booth with them and both services were outstanding. My husband and I love house music, and it was so important that the music played at our wedding was authentically us. Jeff absolutely nailed it and our guests had a blast, calling it their first "rave wedding"! In addition, the Photo Booth turned out to be exactly what I had in mind. The "glam" filter made everyone look flawless and the attendant was kind and helpful. Guests could print as many copies as they wanted. We received the digital files two days after our wedding and now get to cherish these fun images forever. Look no further for your sound and entertainment needs!

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!

DJ Ed was so accommodating in bringing our medieval fantasy cocktail hour to life. It perfectly set the mood I was looking for, and I was so happy that he was able to play our nontraditional music selections; thankfully he was able to use a Spotify playlist I had made just for cocktail hour. I received so many compliments on the music from my guests, and he kept them dancing for hours! But the one thing Ed did that I was most impressed with and touched by, was him picking the perfect next song when my husband was dancing with his daughter. Our photographer was able to get some beautiful photos of the moment, and we will be treasuring them for years. Without Ed's instincts and quick thinking, we wouldn't have those photos. I can't thank Ed enough, and I highly recommend you consider him for your DJing needs.

We knew Marcus was the perfect choice for our wedding DJ right away, but we were blown away by how great he was! To say he was fantastic is a gross understatement for how truly spectacular he was from the ceremony to the reception. Our entire reception was on the dance floor for HOURS because he kept playing hit after hit after hit. One of my friends told me she had never seen such a wide span of generations on the dance floor at a wedding before, and she was 100% right. He was such a fantastic DJ it was hard to leave the dance floor, which is exactly what we wanted our reception to be. Marcus was also a complete professional. At one point, my husband and I realized we had fallen slightly behind schedule while trying to say hello to all our guests, which made me extremely stressed, but Marcus was immediately on top of it with suggestions for how to make sure we got back on track. We cannot recommend Event Solutions or Marcus enough. If you're looking to party, Marcus is the perfect DJ for the job.

With 14+ years of wedding expertise and clients like MLB, Capital One, and the "Real Housewives of the Potomac," we engineer the Greatest Of All Time atmosphere. We love a high-energy party but stay sophisticated and professional above all else. No cheesy scripts or "standard" playlists—just a custom flow tailored to your vision. Our setup is ultra-sleek and unobtrusive; we use modern gear that looks as clean as your decor. From DC and Atlanta to LA, we provide unrivaled nationwide coverage. If you want an elite team that turns up the heat while staying perfectly elegant, let’s make your wedding the G.O.A.T.

Sircasm with GOAT Audio was, without question, the best wedding DJ we’ve ever seen — and we’ve been to plenty of receptions where the dance floor was packed. The moment he started, the entire atmosphere elevated. What truly set him apart was his ability to blend genres seamlessly. He didn’t just press play on a playlist — he crafted an experience. He moved effortlessly from high-energy bass house drops that had the younger crowd going wild to timeless classics — Motown, 80s and 90s R&B, hip-hop favorites, and throwback rock — all without missing a beat. One minute we were jumping to booming EDM builds, and the next we were singing along to “Country Road” or “Mr. Brightside” like it was the most natural transition in the world. There was no awkward silence, no abrupt changes — just nonstop energy. His bass house mixes were next-level. The sound was powerful but perfectly balanced, and he knew exactly when to turn things up to get everyone — from grandparents to kids — on the dance floor. It’s rare to see a wedding where every single guest stays engaged for hours, but that’s exactly what happened. He read the room flawlessly, kept the momentum strong, blended in requests smoothly, and added personal touches that made the night feel even more special for the couple. Sircasm wasn’t just playing music — he was driving the entire celebration. Professional, charismatic, and incredibly skilled at mixing across eras and styles, he turned the reception into an unforgettable party that truly brought generations together. If you want a wedding DJ who will transform your night into an epic, all-out dance celebration, don’t hesitate to book him. Absolutely 10/10 — he made the night legendary.

The Boaté & Ajluni Duo is a Baltimore-based acoustic guitar duo. Tim Boaté and Anthony Ajluni have been playing music together since meeting at the University of Maryland, and have performed at more than 125 events as a duo since 2015. Together, they present a versatile yet distinct sound; crafting beautiful instrumental acoustic renditions ranging from pop classics, to jazz, swing, bossa, folk, bluegrass and more.

These guys were our first vendors hired after we secured our venue and we are SO HAPPY we had them. They are wonderful people and insanely talented musicians, and they are so chill, flexible and kind. Our first venue canceled on us 4 months from the wedding date, and they pivoted quickly and signed on for our new date and venue. They learned two new songs to play alongside two vocalist performances during our ceremony, and jammed out during cocktail hour before becoming our emcees and DJs for the reception. They even made it work when we had a last-minute rain plan go into action. My guests will not stop talking about how great the music was throughout the whole event. Tim and Anthony were nothing but a joy to work with. They are all good vibes and good music. I hope to make it to another of their gigs soon!!! Thank you so much!!!!!

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.

I will recommend JVMMS Events/OneManJamz every single time someone needs a DJ. It was our absolute pleasure to work with Jeremy for our wedding day and I don’t know how, but we’re going to find a reason to work with him again as soon as we can. From our very first meeting, Jeremy was so personable, with clear, confident, and detailed communication that put us at ease (and as an anxious bride I needed this big time). Jeremy went above and beyond, answering countless questions to help ease my pre-wedding anxiety, and made sure that every song we specifically requested (i.e., ceremony, introduction, first dance, etc) and executed them flawlessly. Let me TELL YOU, the reception music? I swear to you, I looked to Jeremy, my husband, and several guests at least 100 times throughout the night and expressed some form of “I CANT BELIEVE HOW GOOD THIS IS” I mean the way this man mixed popular, fun songs together that I would not have expected to work so magically….. I was hoping for most of our guests to dance all night but I was shocked at how many people (young and old) were on the dance floor all night long. It was our dream come true, honestly. I’m still shaken, and we got married almost 5 weeks ago. We are incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Jeremy and for his part in making our best day truly unforgettable.

When I hired All In Entertainment, I had multiple options to choose from; however, Anthony's energetic and relatable personality and his knowledge and expertise was what made me choose him as my provider for DJ services. When the time came for my wedding day, (we DIY'D everything) so naturally we ran entirely behind schedule! That's when my DJ Mike SAVED the day along with my photographer and they basically took the coordination of placing the guests in and out of the appropriate rooms and they even helped me make a candle light outdoor ceremony look even better. Mike was exceptional, he confirmed that all the songs that were specifically requested for the ceremony and introductions were played and he went over them with me to make sure that he had them correct AND HE DID! Anthony ABSOLUTELY killed it with the intro remix I requested! Overall it was a great experience from booking to the actual day of the event. Thank you All In Entertainment and team! The Darby's

My husband and I had one non-negotiable for our wedding - to have a live band. We went to the BVT showcase and immediately fell in love with Experience. They were a little bit out of our budget, but we decided to book them anyways and cut back on other things and let me tell you ...they were worth every single penny!!! Luke is the nicest, coolest guy and so great to work with!! He listened to every request we had leading up and I truly didn't think about a thing during the wedding day - he had our timeline completely under control and kept us on track (and if we were running behind I still have no idea because he's that good!!). The band is INCREDIBLE and had our guests on the dance floor all night!! I realized at the end of the night I never even changed out of my heels into my white sneakers because that would have meant leaving the dance floor. Our guests are still telling us how amazing the band was and several of them even got their card for their own events! Having Experience was the best decision we made!! Thank you to all of you for making our wedding day so memorable and fun!!

In addition, I’ve participated as talent, as well as tech and presentation, in music related events all around the Washington DC/Northern Virginia/Maryland region for three decades. I branched out into doing weddings in the 00’s, and it has been great! I love playing weddings and sharing in the joy of the happy couple and their families!

Neal was a great DJ who was happy to do whatever he could to make our wedding go as smoothly as possible. His mobile setup was perfect for our ceremony location and he did a wonderful job with all of his announcements and making guests happy. (Photos by @sopho.tography)

I've DJed hundreds of parties since the mid 90s. I started DJing when I was 13-years old with my dad. He taught me the tricks of the trade. Music and people are my passion — I would love to help you have the best party as possible!

DJ Nilla absolutely crushed it at our wedding! From start to finish, he was professional, friendly, and an absolute joy to work with. He was incredibly flexible with our playlists, blending the music we wanted with great crowd-pleasers to keep the energy high and the dance floor packed all night long. He brought all his own equipment and handled everything so smoothly that we didn’t have to worry about a thing. On top of that, his communication was amazing. He met with us in person, kept in touch through texts and calls, and made sure every detail was exactly how we wanted it. He really cared about making our day perfect, and it showed. If you are looking for a DJ who’s talented, professional, and just awesome to work with, DJ Nilla is your guy!
