We were thrilled with the service we received from Signature DJs for our wedding. Kellie was quick to respond to all of our questions and always ready to help, no matter how small the request. She was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and complimentary throughout the entire planning process. The Signed, Sealed, and Delivered package they offer included everything we were looking for - great planning and execution on the day, an awesome DJ, Meredith, who kept the dance floor packed from the ceremony audio to the end of the night, a fun and inclusive photo booth and sparkler exit, and even a personalized monogram. Kellie and her team were hardworking, organized, and determined to make our special day perfect.

They were the best duo, keeping the energy up ALL NIGHT, even dancing with us and adding some unexpected elements to the night. They allowed us to have a private last dance that was not originally on our timeline, and that is easily one of my favorite memories from the day! Thank you, Ricky and Jarrell, for being apart of our special day!

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

We hired Liz to be our DJ and Master of Ceremonies. What we ended up getting was a full fledge package of a wedding planner, Roast Master, DJ, Master of Ceremonies, and the most generous person I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. Not only did she make sure that everything we asked for went more than perfect. She also took control and made sure our beach front wedding was hooked up with microphones and music so everyone could here our vows and be a part of the most special day of our lives. She is a FULL PACKAGE and she is worth 5x’s more than she charges. I can honestly say that she was the main reason our wedding was so memorable. It’s been 8 years and I still have friends making comments on how much fun and excite of the whole event was. When my wife and I renew our vows on our 10th anniversary. Liz will not be hired to work the event. She will be attending as a guest. She literally turned into part of our family and is loved dearly by my wife and I.

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 went to a friend's wedding with Jamz Events and thought it was one of the best dance floors we'd seen. When it was our turn to get engaged, we knew we wanted that same experience for us and our guests on our own big day. And we got it. Jeremy made the planning seamless for us, let us submit as many requests as we wanted, and then gave everyone the night of their lives at our reception. So many guests told us it was the best dance floor they'd seen at a wedding and that they never wanted to leave - it was full of joy for every song. We're so grateful and excited to go to another friend's wedding in May 2023 where Jeremy will also be DJ-ing!
