DJ Turnip 
Rating: 5.0 (22 reviews)
·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
  • DJ
  • Starts at $949
  • Serves Merrifield, VA

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.

Neal is the G.O.A.T! He was one of our absolute favorite vendors to work with and played such a huge role in making our wedding everything we hoped it would be. From the very beginning, Neal was thoughtful, professional, incredibly accommodating, and genuinely invested in making the music feel like us. He went above and beyond by creating custom mixes for our parent dances, and they turned out absolutely perfectly. He also handled the audio for our ceremony, and the microphones and speakers were flawless! Every word could be heard clearly, there were no technical difficulties despite this being a completely outdoor wedding, and we never had to worry about a thing. The cocktail hour and reception was just as incredible. Neal played every song we wanted, completely understood the atmosphere we were going for, and kept our dance floor packed all night. The volume of every song was also perfect and we had so many guests compliment the music both during and after the wedding, which says everything! He knew exactly how to read the room and keep the energy going while still making sure the music felt personal to us. Beyond being an amazing DJ, Neal was simply such a pleasure to have as part of our wedding day. He went above and beyond at every turn, made the entire process easy and stress-free, and absolutely delivered when it mattered most. We never had to ask him to do anything because he would problem solve/troubleshoot everything himself without involving us. Our wedding would not have been the same without him, and we are so grateful for everything he did to make the day perfect. We would recommend Neal without hesitation to anyone looking for a DJ who is talented, attentive, reliable, and genuinely cares about making your wedding unforgettable. 20/10, full stop we could not have chosen anyone better!

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.

Highly recommend Jeremy to anyone looking for a DJ! He was easy to work with and sent over an extensive questionnaire to fill out. We were able to create Spotify playlists and include them in the questionnaire for easy referencing of our preferred music tastes. The music is what I was most worried about during wedding planning as I didn’t want to play typical wedding music, but Jeremy came through and played all our favorite songs and more, and even complimented our indie music taste! Transitions were smooth and announcements weren’t over the top. As introverts, he also made sure we were comfortable and made sure not to prolong our first dance any longer than we wanted.

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.

Brian was really easy to work with, especially because of the planning app he provided. It was easy and even fun to slowly build our timeline and playlist suggestions into the app, and capture every detail, from wedding party name pronunciations to the timestamp to start our recessional song. Brian’s experience was really invaluable to us, and he MC’d the event expertly. The music went off without a hitch and was everything we imagined. The dance floor was the highlight of the night and our guests had SO much fun. We received so many compliments on Brian’s behalf for the energy on the dance floor. Thank you so much, Brian, for an electric wedding!

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. We 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 Washington Performing Arts Gala in 2026!

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.

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
Jamie Alberti, aka DJ Casanova, was the BEST DJ we could have possibly chosen for our wedding. He was incredibly helpful in the lead up to the big day and met with us in advance to discuss the details, the vibe we were going for, and the types of music we definitely wanted played on our big day! On the day itself, he had all the tech set up and ready to go for our ceremony, the cocktail hour, and the reception itself - all of which were spread out in different locations across our venue. He definitely got his steps in on our wedding day but he was certainly up to the task. He did a great job with the announcements for the evening and we're so happy that we went with him! Highly recommend!

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 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.

Bialek's Music is a one-stop shop for all your entertainment needs. We have been the life of the party for over 40 years in the Washington Metropolitan area. From Bands to DJ’s, from Soloists to Ensembles, Uplighting to Photo Booths we’ve got what it takes to make your event the talk of the town!

We couldn’t be happier that we picked Bialek’s Music for our wedding entertainment. We had a call with our DJ (Mike) a few weeks before and he was great at going over logistics with us and getting to know our personalities and wedding vibe. We had a blast and got so many complements at the music selection from guests! The Photo Booth package with the DJ was also a great value. They were wonderful to work with picking out the template and our friends, family, and especially the kids at our wedding had a blast with that. Highly recommend!

Brian Clemens provides live music for weddings throughout Washington, DC and the DMV area, from elegant solo piano and piano/vocals to jazz ensembles and larger reception bands. With 12+ years of experience, more than 100 weddings performed across Southern California, the UK, and Europe, and tenure as a resident pianist at London's world famous Ritz Hotel , Brian tailors each lineup, repertoire, and performance to the setting and atmosphere of the day.

This is the 4th time over the years we have had Brian do a party for us. He seems to cover all music genres beautifully. For one of our events we hired Brian just to play piano, he was wonderful. The other events he brought a band, which was great! He also did my niece's wedding last year, he brought a band and the dance floor was full! He does make the party come alive! I would definitely recommend Brian. Great attitude and really wants everyone to enjoy themselves.

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.
