“Signature DJs was the perfect choice for our wedding entertainment. From the very beginning, their communication style was professional, detailed, precise, and fast.

All About The Music 
Rating: 4.8 (16 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,200
  • Serves Richmond, VA

My name is Scott Titmus with All About The Music and I have been a Professional Wedding DJ for over 20 years. I know exactly what it takes to fill a dance floor. I am committed to bringing energy and enthusiasm to every wedding that I DJ by combining my extensive knowledge of music with my ability to "read the crowd."

Awarded Best of Zola
“If you’re a music nerd with very particular opinions about music, hiring a DJ can feel like a terrifying leap of faith. Scott didn’t just meet my standards, he absolutely exceeded them. I had carefully planned our cocktail and dinner playlist, only to realize in real time that it was completely missing the mood. Scott gently checked in and asked if I wanted to adjust course, and I was SO relieved he did. He saved the mood, the vibe, the whole thing. From there, he expertly read our crowd, using just a handful of song requests guests had submitted with their RSVPs to curate an absolutely perfect night of bangers. Our dance floor was packed basically the entire evening. People weren’t just dancing, they were genuinely feeling the music and having an incredible time. Scott understood our crowd in a way that honestly felt like magic. He was also kind, attentive, and incredibly sensitive to the more personal parts of our wedding, including navigating the fact that our Father-Daughter dance had to be removed from the plans after my father passed away during our wedding planning. He handled those moments with genuine compassion and professionalism. It was clear from start to finish that Scott cared deeply about giving us an exceptional experience. He worked within our budget, brought an enormous amount of expertise to the table, and was worth every single penny. The picture I’m including is at the end of the night after most of the guests had gone home—the bridal party crew & my father-in-law stayed late because we were having such a great time bopping and Scott kept the night going despite the fact that 95% of the guests had gone home. It was one of the funnest parts of the night—we had a blast letting loose on the dance floor and enjoying every last beat right to the end. I would hire Scott again in a heartbeat for any future DJ or emcee role, and I would recommend him without hesitation. I do not put my name behind recommendations lightly, and I can say with complete confidence: hire Scott. He was one of the most integral reasons our wedding evening turned out as spectacularly as it did.”

“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.”

With DJ Shanghai, every musical moment is intentional, from the walk down the aisle to the final song. I don’t rely on trends; I design a soundtrack that feels like you are guided by your energy, culture, and the atmosphere you want to create. Rather than using a preset playlist, I intuitively blend your selections with tracks that elevate the mood and keep guests connected. Couples say, “It felt like you knew exactly what we needed.” This is more than music...it’s mood, memory, and magic.

Our experienced DJs and tech team create seamless, energetic experiences with custom playlists, ceremony audio, and lighting design. Focused on professionalism, flexibility, and client satisfaction, we turn every event into an unforgettable experience. Let us bring the soundtrack to your most memorable moments.

“DJ Charlie was calm and honest throughout the process. He was very clear about what he needed in terms of music line up based on our timeline of events. He gave us suggestions based on his experiences with other weddings and was flexible. The planning was a bit rocky because the timelines needed to line up. Which ours did not. So please be careful and make sure that your wedding timeline and the DJ’s contract timeline match. Since ours didn’t match up and there weren’t any events that could have been edited out, we had to pay for an extra hour. The extra hour was worth it because we were able to fit everything we wanted to do at our wedding. DJ Charlie was able to keep us on time throughout the wedding from ceremony to the end of the reception. He gave the bridal party special queue instructions to keep in time with the ceremony music. Though it would have been nice to have music playing in the ballroom and the reception tent while dinner was happening. The music selection had a good mix of what we asked for. Though the specific songs that we wanted for the party dance weren’t played. At the end of the night, it didn’t matter as it was a four-hour event and a good portion of the guests had to leave early. He was considerate of the people on the dance floor and even played rumba songs for my great aunt and uncle who were dancing a rumba number. The lighting set up was great. The pin lights were placed in the right areas in the ballroom and reception tent, and it really livened the place up. There were also moving ceiling projection lights, which really made up for the wall projection that we didn’t have time to set up. Overall, we would recommend DJ Charlie for any special event.”

“DJ Motiv was extraordinary. I was so impressed by his professionalism, communication, and willingness to make sure our night was perfect. I was skeptical at first with some reviews mentioning that the DJ’s weren’t playing the songs they chose. I immediately reached out and that was informed that it would not be an issue. ALL of our chosen music was played, with some song requests of guests (with bride’s approval, per DJ motiv - loved that). DJ Motiv checked in with us constantly, even to make sure our food was at our table, if we needed drinks, if the music was going well, and if there was anything he could do. He was going above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed. I even threw in special requests during my wedding, including him stopping my parent dance half way (on purpose) as if the music turned off, to take the mic and give a short speech. He did it phenomenally. I had a game request, with him being the commentator and director of, and he took that role and ran with it. The wedding guests LOVED him. I have nothing negative to say about his services. Even the photobooth was done great! I also had a custom sign made, with our new last name, and it was perfect! Such a great item to be able keep, and you get a year warranty on it. Anyway, I highly recommend this DJ!! He MADE our wedding perfect. Everyone loved him.”

“Having a band play our Northern Virginia wedding was very important to us. We found Bachelor Boys on Instagram and relished their vibe from the get-go. They felt more personal than the conglomerates with dozens of band. We watched them perform at a showcase in the Baltimore area and loved how they structured their evening with different pairings of band members and instruments - it helped us make an informed decision about the number of instruments we wanted to include. We were wow-ed by Amber at the showcase, and were thrilled to have her emcee our wedding! Communication with the band was very straightforward. We only had a handful of requests, but otherwise, let them play the sets as they saw fit. Truthfully, I can’t remember them taking many breaks because it felt like they played the whole night! Our guests continue to say how excellent the band was! For the ceremony, the band provided a speaker and a representative to press “play” on our music. We also had a trio perform beautifully at cocktail hour. One fun note: we opted for parent dances, and the band had no issues with my Bruce Springsteen deep cut. The singer even channeled his “Boss” to really sound like Bruce! Our dance floor was full from the start, and we loved the sets they played. We had a blast dancing at our wedding - Highly recommend Bachelor Boys!”

They played a huge role in making our special day stress-free, fun, and memorable for us and all of our guests. I would highly recommend A Better DJ and Photographer for any event. If you want to have fun, enjoy exceptional service, and bring your dream event to life, they are the team to hire!”

“MyDeejay was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From our very first interaction, Frank was charismatic, upbeat and thoughtful in his approach. He and his team were incredibly kind, flexible, and provided a wonderful musical balance throughout the entire event. Frank's ability to multitask seamlessly with our dance plans was greatly appreciated, and he helped make our special day run so smoothly. He was awesome and my husband sang his praises the following day. His energy and professionalism were unmatched. We highly recommend MyDeejay to any couple looking for a talented, reliable DJ who will truly make your wedding unforgettable.”

I've spent the past 15+ years offering my musical knowledge to events all over the world.

Whether you want a folk-laden cocktail hour, a classic dinner playlist, or a modern dance party, let me be the one to provide the soundtrack to the most important day of your life!

“Music was undeniably one of the most important aspects for us as a couple and Jeremy delivered x1000. He kept our dance floor packed ALL night long until last call with banger after banger and I find myself wanting to recreate that night all the time. We loved his style of dj'ing so much, we continue to recommend him to all our friends and now jokingly refer to it as the Sisterhood of the Travelling Dj. You may waver in booking other vendors to ensure you have your dream wedding, but do not hesitate to choose Jamz at your dj. You will not be disappointed!”

“We cannot recommend Darian with Level Up highly enough! From our very first conversation, he was professional, responsive, and genuinely excited about making our wedding day unforgettable. He took the time to understand our taste in music, read the vibe of the crowd perfectly, and kept the dance floor packed all night long. He also handled all the announcements smoothly and added such a fun, personal touch to the evening. Bonus points because he was super prepared and flexible as the rain on the radar threatened to bump our ceremony and cocktail hour inside.”
