My wife and I were so fortunate to have picked DJ Torpedo & Co. for our May 2024 wedding in Georgetown. I feel music and the emcee often makes or breaks a great wedding, so I spent considerable time reviewing possible DJs to work with. We ended up going to DJ Addison, who at the time was considered a "first-year DJ." He exceeded all expectations. Addison was simply a treat to work with in the planning stages and was exceptionally on point and professional during the wedding day. He's funny but classy, professional but not uptight, willing to make on-the-fly changes, and kept the dance floor hopping during the reception. From his bridal party introductions to saying goodbye at the end of the night, he was simply great. Our wedding was moved inside at the last minute due to rain and he somehow relocated his setup on the fly and didn't complain or seem stressed during the chaos. DJ Torpedo offers a really wonderful music planning app that is easy to understand and pick your songs from ceremony to reception. The app has YouTube integration that allows you to easily assemble your playlists. DJ Torpedo (Josh, the owner) was always quick to respond to emails and calls and was an utmost professional throughout. A -- Devin & Jade.

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.

Brian truly went above and beyond for our wedding day. He was so flexible during the planning process when I was having trouble making up my mind and offered suggestions to help make the day run smoothly (and it did!). I feel like I'm pretty picky about music and was anxious about how everything would flow together, but Brian did such an amazing job. He eased my mind in our meetings leading up to the big day and especially the day of. Not one hiccup or wrong song the whole night! I can't recommend him enough.

Awarded Best of Zola
Louis Pettinelli Entertainment was an absolute dream to work with. I thought that a live band for our wedding would be out of our reach, but LPE was so easy to work with and what an incredible value! Our band, LPE Snapshot was incredible and our ceremony musicians were amazing too! The vocalists were high energy and kept the whole event moving. They were great Emcess and they even added some special non-traditional reception activities for us. They were super flexible and played all the songs we asked for- even some very “niche” tracks we asked for during the ceremony. So many of my guests said the band was their favorite part of the reception. I highly recommend LPE entertainment! (I am also a musician myself so I’m very picky!)

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.

Jeremy was the DJ for my wedding in March 2022. He was so professional throughout the entire process. Despite the fact that we were working off of virtual communication due to distance/Covid, Jeremy absolutely nailed every piece of the reception!

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
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Riverdale, 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!

  • Starts at $300
  • Serves Riverdale, MD

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.

The music they played kept the energy in the room lively and energetic, and even helped bring my parents closer together on our wedding day. We couldn't have asked for a better band and DJ duo to make our wedding celebration so memorable. Highly recommend A Squad Events to any couple looking to have an amazing time on their big day!

  • DJ
  • Serves Riverdale, MD

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.

After studying at the Longy School of Music and George Washington University for harp, I love playing for people's special events. I'm located in the Washington, DC area specializing in proposals, weddings, rehearsal dinners, and ceremonies in DC, Maryland and Virginia.

Iliana was an absolute highlight of our Annual Gala. Her harp performance brought an elegance and sophistication that elevated the entire evening. From the moment guests arrived, her music set a beautiful, welcoming tone that perfectly matched the ambiance we envisioned. Beyond her extraordinary talent, Iliana was a pleasure to work with—professional, accommodating, and genuinely invested in helping make our event special. Countless attendees raved about her artistry and the unforgettable atmosphere she created. We highly recommend Iliana for any event. Her presence and performance truly made our Gala exceptional.
