Hey there! We are Devail & Nikki, your husband and wife wedding entertainment team. 196 Events is a professional Wedding DJ & Photo Booth company based in Virginia Beach, Virginia. However, we serve couples across Hampton Roads, RVA, Central VA and the Shenandoah Valley.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with 196 Events was a game-changer for our wedding day. From our first conversation, the team was easy to talk to and genuinely interested in what we wanted—they even swapped out the traditional ceremony entertainment for a portable photo booth during cocktail hour, which our guests absolutely loved. They added thoughtful touches like a custom TV display with our names and let me design the photo booth prints myself using Canva, which made everything feel personal. Their flexibility and expertise meant we could collaborate on every detail instead of just checking boxes. We felt heard throughout the whole process, and they delivered exactly what we envisioned. We'd recommend 196 Events to any couple looking for a band that actually listens and cares about making their reception unforgettable.

The DJ Company of Virginia 
Rating: 4.7 (9 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,195
  • Serves Portsmouth, VA

Our trusted team of Virginia Beach DJs specialize in weddings but will bring the party to any Hampton Roads event. You and your guests will have an awesome time dancing and singing the night away. All while receiving personalized attention from a well-qualified DJ and a package that fits your budget.

Let me start off by saying that I didn't think I "needed" a DJ for my wedding, so I didn't budget for one initially. It was about halfway through wedding planning that my now-husband and I decided we should invest in one, so it would be one less thing for us to have to do on our wedding day. Budget was super important to us when booking a DJ, but we also wanted someone who was experienced and knew what they were doing. The DJ Company of Virginia did not disappoint! Nikki and Devail helped me during the booking and planning process, and helped pick the right DJ to use for our venue. When planning, we were able to suggest a bunch of songs that both of us love and also got to make a list of any songs we didn't want to hear. Our guests were able to suggest songs on their own, and I gave those to the DJ beforehand (it was a question on our RSVP form). If you wanted your guests to suggest songs during the reception, I know they would be able to do that too! Jose was the DJ for our wedding and he was super friendly and easy to talk to! My husband and I did a "fake out" for our first dance, where we made it seem like we would do the standard slow dance, but then actually use a fun, upbeat song. Jose made sure he understood what we wanted and our guests LOVED it! Jose played so many songs that I like and love that I found myself on the dancefloor a bunch. I sure got in a workout! If you need a DJ in the Hampton Roads area, you should book the DJ Co. of VA. I wasn't sure we could afford a DJ for our wedding, but their prices were perfect for our needs!

Great weddings are not built from a copy and paste playlist. They are built around the couple, their guests, and the moments everyone will remember long after the final song. I’m Jose, the owner and DJ behind Jose The DJ Events. Based in Norfolk, Virginia, I serve Hampton Roads, Williamsburg, and beyond with professional wedding DJ and MC services. From our first planning conversation through the last dance, I work directly with you to understand your vision, organize the details, and create a celebration that feels personal, polished, and completely your own.

Jose the DJ crushed it! The mixes were on point, the transitions were smooth, and the vibe was electric from start to finish. He knew exactly how to keep the crowd moving and smiling all night long. On top of that, he’s one of the friendliest, most genuine DJs around — everyone felt right at home. If you want your party to be unforgettable, book Jose. You won’t regret it!

Overall, we had a good experience with our DJ. He arrived on time, was professional throughout the evening, and kept our guests on the dance floor for most of the night. The music flowed well, and everyone seemed to have a great time. That said, I did spend a lot of time carefully selecting songs that were meaningful to us, and I was a little disappointed that many of those selections weren't played. Some of our requested songs were included, but I had hoped more of our playlist would be incorporated into the evening. The only other issue was that, just before our grand exit, he approached us to mention that he hadn't received enough food. We had paid for a vendor meal for him, so I wasn't sure what had happened, and it didn't feel like the best time to bring it up while we were in the middle of such a special moment. Despite those concerns, he was friendly, punctual, and our guests clearly enjoyed themselves. If having a lively dance floor is your top priority, he does a good job creating a fun atmosphere.

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!

We hired Intrinsic Groove to perform at our wedding in April 2026 and it was nothing short of INCREDIBLE. We watched a lot of videos and felt confident they were going to be great, but they far exceeded our expectations. They were high energy, crowd engaging, phenomenal performers who met the vibe every single time. Vocals were KILLER. So many of our guests said it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to and I credit a lot of that to the energy the band brought. On top of a killer reception, they also did incredible ceremony and cocktail hour music that made everything flow harmoniously. You just can’t beat a killer band for your wedding, worth every penny!
