  • DJ

  • Serves Shady Side, MD

I’ve been running Ridiculous Entertainment as my main business for 14 years. I picked up DJing as a hobby when I was in high school, falling in love with hip-hop and learning to scratch records. Throughout my college years, I DJed tons of parties. I now also work in live audio engineering, record albums in my home studio, play in bands, and produce stage shows with the Baltimore Rock Opera Society (BROS). DJing weddings and private parties has been my main career path for a long time now and I still really enjoy it! Your wedding day should be a fusion of the best things in you and your partner's life together.

Aran was the best DJ ever for our wedding! Our guests danced all night. We danced all night. He also did the sound and music for the ceremony and dinner. He made helpful game time decisions about the setup of his DJ table given our potential need for a rain plan layout on the day of. His DJing was so fun and kept the party going while also feeling true to us and incorporating our tases. Since the wedding in late April 2026, I have had multiple friends mention to me in person or reach out specifically to tell me that they loved the DJ and the music! Anyways, 10/10 would recommend to a friend.

This man is magic. Alex was extremely patient with me during the entire planning process knowing it’s very overwhelming trying to narrow down songs to specific moments. Especially when both me and my husband love all different types of music. He communicated clearly with what we needed to select throughout the day, and anything we hadn’t decided on he understood what vibe was and nailed it. Everyone was on the dance floor from the moment formalities ended to the last song of the night (Cinema by Skrillex of course). I asked for a party and Alex delivered exactly that (& better)! Our friends and family still talk about "how great the DJ was". Trusting Alex with such an important part of the day we did not take lightly and he absolutely exceeded expectations. Our wedding felt like something out of a movie, we couldn’t ask for a better party.

Steel Toe Stiletto 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Shady Side, MD

Steel Toe Stiletto is a premium events band based in Greenville, SC. The band was formed from friendships between some of the southeast's most impressive vocalists and musicians. They knew that collectively, they had a lot to offer anyone looking for a modern, professional entertainment environment. They’re proud to call Greenville home, and love every opportunity they get to enhance their community by performing. You can find them playing your favorite music all over the southeast at charity galas, corporate parties, wedding receptions, and other celebratory events.

We booked Steel Toe Stiletto for our wedding after communicating with them via email, and we're so glad we did. Their sound and vibe were absolutely amazing - the introduction song was "Thunderstruck" by AC/DC, which set the perfect tone for the whole night. People are still talking about and asking us about our wedding celebration, and that is largely due to their incredible performance. They really knew how to get the party started and keep the energy high all night long. We couldn't have asked for a better band to make our wedding day so special and unforgettable.

Do you like to actually have fun? Do you like good music? More importantly do you like to dance and make memories? Well, you have come to the right place. Search no more, you have found the DJ for this job.

I’d like to start by stating that I am bad with music. I don’t know song names and I mumble every song… Luke asked me about the crowd, the theme, and targeted music genres. I answered 2 out of the 3 questions... In regards to the music question, all I gave him was my idea of the set list… Literally my description was “Something that you had on your iPod long ago that you can still sing today and isn’t super niche”…. Shortly after he had a small list of songs that we went through. We kept some and removed some, but the songs we removed he asked why and thought of replacements. On the day of the event he brought his high quality equipment and began his craft, that is providing a great party experience. Every single person in there sang and danced from 730 to 10. Everyone also asked who he was and how the he kept nailing song after song with beautiful transitions in between. I respect many lines of work/professions, but I really appreciate and respect those who are passionate and hard working within their line of work. Luke is definitely someone who works hard and goes above and beyond to make sure the party is of high spirits, good energy, and inclusive!

The harpist and violinist were absolutely incredible — truly one of the most magical parts of our entire wedding day. My husband and I were completely in awe, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful and cinematic the music was. It felt like something straight out of a movie, especially with the stunning ambiance of our ceremony location. From the very beginning, the process of choosing music through the company’s website was seamless. There were so many amazing song options to pick from, and we were so happy with our final selections. Hearing them come to life — especially on violin and harp — was beyond words. The musicians played so eloquently and gracefully, and their talent was unmatched. The music added a romantic, emotional, and elegant touch that elevated everything to a whole new level. Communication with the company was excellent. They were quick to respond, always friendly and accommodating, and remained professional and patient — even when unexpected weather challenges came up on the day of the wedding. They were flexible, understanding, and worked with us to make sure everything went smoothly. The quality of the performance was truly a 10 out of 10. Guests were completely blown away, and many told us how unforgettable and moving the ceremony music was. The transitions between songs were smooth and perfectly timed. I would 100% recommend this company to any couple looking to add something special to their ceremony. They are incredibly talented, professional, punctual, and just a dream to work with. We’re so grateful to have had them be part of our big day — they helped make it feel absolutely magical.

One of the best DJ'S EVER! We used HiMotive Entertainment for our wedding and when I tell you that these people are professional, I mean it.

I'm talking people getting picked up on shoulders phenomenal. I still have family members messaging me a week back telling me how much they loved the DJ and MC.

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!

Jeremy did an excellent job, he was communicative and clear, and he helped to maintain the flow of the party. He completed announcements, ensured: the wedding music, entrance music, dance music, and party music all flowed and had limited interruptions. All the aforementioned songs were complicated, especially the entrance and the dances where he had to splice two different audio files together to create one coherent audio file. He went above and beyond, checking in on my wife and I asking if we needed anything when our planner was otherwise occupied. Would recommend, he’s a true master of his craft, thank you Jeremy!

During our consultation the week before our wedding, Jodie took the time to truly understand our vibe, our music preferences, and the kind of atmosphere we wanted to create for our guests. He was so personable and made the whole process feel easy and exciting. On our wedding day, the music was absolutely seamless! My husband and I, along with all of our guests, had the BEST time on the dance floor. The energy was incredible, and we honestly could have stayed out there all night! Jodie read the room perfectly and knew exactly what songs to play and when to play them. He helped create such a fun and unforgettable celebration for us and our guests. We are so grateful for Jodie and Level Up Entertainment and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a DJ who truly cares about making your wedding day special!

I have been Doing since 1997, with doing weddings almost exclusively since 2007. Weddings are always a great time. We go over everything with the couple and make sure their day is exactly what they are looking for.

Ryan was really easy to work with! There were a few minor hiccups during the ceremony and reception (that were not caused by him), but he was able to be quick on his feet and keep the wedding flowing. The photo booth package he has available is a MUST! Guests were raving about the printouts and the quality of the photos! Attached is an example of what the printouts look like. These also can be sent to your phone and will be emailed to you the next day. We were beyond happy to with the energy, music selections, effort, and work Ryan put out for our wedding! Thank you again!!!

I’m an experienced DJ and have been spinning at events for over 25 yrs. 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)

Hi, My name is Robert. But most people call me DJ Prime. One thing you should know about me is I love weddings. Big weddings, small weddings, outdoor ceremonies in gracious gardens, intimate funky venues, you name it, I've done them all. But don't get me wrong, no matter how many weddings are in my future, never ever will it be a matter of being there, done that. No matter how many weddings I do, all my energy goes into each. For those precious few hours I am more than just a wedding dj in the Tri state area, I'm proud to say I am part of countless couple's lives.

DJ Prime was so easy to work with— communicative, experienced, worked within our budget, and was incredible at reading the room and making sure everyone had something to dance to. Ignore the full lighting in the second photo… I forgot to dim the lights in the venue once people started dancing for like a full 30 minutes smh

The Goat Audio made our night a celebration we will always remember. Brandon had us dancing and smiling the entire night. He truly crafted us an amazing playlist with throwbacks that brought up great memories with my girls and family. Brandon also helped me surprise my now husband with a special dedication song that made his night and had all our guests smiling. He was a great communicator who truly got to know us and our guests to create a special night. The Photo Booth, run by his wife, was also a huge hit. Guests of all ages had a blast taking fun, memorable photos. I cannot recommend them enough to make your night fun and special!
