Luvdup is the best, and Kelton is the best! We loved talking to Gemma on our intro call, and were so grateful to have Kelton DJ our wedding. Starting with our planning call it was clear we were in great hands with Kelton, who helped us figure out the finer details of our plan, and made a couple of recommendations that helped us make the day even better. On the day he showed up early to make sure things were set up properly (something our venue and planner were particularly appreciative of), ran the mics for the ceremony which went off without a hitch (except for the obligatory sirens during our vows), and played amazing music all night long. We had assembled hours and hours of playlists — it felt like Kelton intuited all of the important songs and played them at the right time — everything was flawless. Most importantly, it felt like Kelton loved being a part of our day — chatting with us and the other guests and vendors, taking photos and videos. He kept the good vibes going all night. Thank you Kelton and Luvdup!

DJ Turnip

·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
  • DJ
  • Starts at $949
  • Serves Washington, DC

When you hire DJ Turnip, you’re getting someone who genuinely cares about your experience from start to finish. As a single dad and a member of the LGBTQ+ community, he brings a personal level of inclusivity and heart into every event he’s part of. Whether you have a clear vision or need help shaping one, your event gets a fully customized soundtrack designed around your style, your people, and your goals.

Our experience with Jeff was excellent from start to finish, and we highly recommend him for any event. After contacting numerous DJs, we found that many were slow to respond, lacked transparent pricing, or spent more time trying to upsell us on extras we didn't want than learning about our vision. Jeff was exactly the opposite. Communication was prompt and effortless, his pricing was fair and transparent, and he offered everything we were looking for, including sound systems for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, as well as attending our rehearsal to ensure the ceremony music went smoothly. The true measure of a great wedding vendor, though, is how they handle the unexpected. During our reception, a miscommunication left our wedding coordinator absent for much of the evening. Without missing a beat, Jeff stepped in to help keep everything on track, coordinating announcements for speeches, cake cutting, our first dance, and a group photo. He struck exactly the low-key, relaxed tone we wanted and quietly kept the evening moving behind the scenes. Jeff was professional, dependable, and genuinely invested in making our wedding a success. We're so grateful we found him and wouldn't hesitate to hire him again.

Awarded Best of Zola
We highly recommend DJ D-Mac as a wedding DJ. As a music lover, I labored over the playlist for our wedding and I wanted our reception to feel like a legitimate dancefloor with a legitimate DJ. What I can say about Daryl is that he made all the right calls throughout the night. He was constantly able to read the room, draw people in, and keep the energy levels high. His flow was infectious and kept the people dancing. Beyond that, he worked seamlessly with our other vendors and the venue to coordinate A/V logistics and was very collaborative with us throughout the process leading up to the big day. It was a blast.

Kelton and his team gave us the absolute party of a lifetime! We worked with Kelton early on in the planning process, and he was nothing but fun, organized, and easy to work with. He paired us with DJ Trevor for the wedding day, and it could not have been better. From the first call, Trevor was high-energy and truly passionate about working with us and the venue to make our vision a reality. He went above and beyond to assist my husband's family in performing a live song during the ceremony, providing all the equipment they needed and more. He worked flawlessly behind the scenes to keep the music flowing perfectly as we transitioned between different areas of the venue, and he made sure everyone giving a speech felt prepared and had exactly what they needed. The energy stayed high all night, and there was never a lull on the dance floor. The transitions were seamless and Trevor did an incredible job of curating a set that felt like a true reflection of us as a couple. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

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. We 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 Washington Performing Arts Gala in 2026!

The energy, showmanship, hype, and FUN that 24K Event Band brought to our wedding reception was OUT OF THIS WORLD. I can't even count how many guests have told us, weeks and months after our wedding, how incredible they were. Our dance floor was packed all night long, and when the band was on their (well-deserved) break, Korey stayed out and led the crowd in the Cupid Shuffle!! When I think about what made our wedding day so special, I think about 24K. Maybe I'm still riding the wave of emotions that comes with planning a wedding, but I could cry thinking about how joyful our reception was because of 24K's musical magic. Each and every member of the band was kind, friendly, and excited to be there, which created an energy that circulated throughout the room. We cannot thank 24K enough for all that they did for us. Please, please hire them if you want to have the wedding of your dreams!

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.

We really appreciated how easy it was to communicate with the staff. They also had a bunch of suggestions when we were struggling to figure out how to move forward with various music ideas, and that really helped us flesh out our own vision.
