It was really easy coordinating with their team! DJ Dez, helped everyone stay on track with his punctuality and use of the timeline. He was at the rehearsal, which was excellent! The bridal party was able to practice with their song selection, which helped me know my queue for capturing specific photos. Running on time is essential to ensure a flawless day!

We hired Najee as our wedding DJ and he did such a great job that my sister hired him for her wedding next year! He did a great job coordinating with us in advance, set up indoors and outdoors for the whole day, and even provided mics for a live performance by our family. He kept our whole reception on schedule and was very flexible when we needed to change timing. What makes him truly special is his ability to read the vibe of the party and keep everybody having fun!

DJ Craig Wood (Perpetual Sound LLC)

5.0

Bristow, VA
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,750
  • Serves Washington, DC

We are, unapologetically, the antithesis of the stereotypical mobile DJ event experience. The brainchild of Craig Wood, Perpetual Sound was created with to provide a stimulating entertainment experience without cutting corners or settling for “just good enough.” Every event is handled with the utmost respect, each client treated like a person, not an invoice number – because you deserve nothing less.

I can say with full confidence that Craig Wood is the ONLY DJ you should look to hire if you're hosting a wedding in the DC area. As a music lover, I knew I would be very particular about whom I could trust to provide the soundtrack for my big day. I've also attended countless dances and weddings throughout my life, so I know how the quality of the music or DJ services can make or break an event. Fortunately, Craig's process allows you to be very hands-on and vocal about exactly what songs to include or to skip. That means that each mix he creates is 100% customized to your vision and tastes. He is a true professional, and was extremely easy to get ahold of whenever I had questions and concerns. The dance floor at my reception was literally never empty, the uplighting he included was stunning, and I received non-stop compliments from guests, both at the event and in the days to come. I cannot recommend Craig Wood enough!

Elegant, effervescent, and exhilarating: Night Sage.

Night Sage was an incredible band for our outdoor wedding in September. John, the lead male vocalist was incredible!!! They were very easy to work with and great communication. They covered everything from set up, ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception!!
