We cannot recommend Toussaint Productions enough!! Kyndra, our DJ kept the party vibes up all night and there was never a dull moment on the dance floor. She was also an awesome MC. Kyndra and Alex were quick and efficient every time we had a question and you could tell they truly cared about making the experience perfect for the couple. Don't hesitate to book them for your wedding - they were one of the best vendors we worked with!

Jon was highly recommended by our wedding planner (Lissa Marie Weddings and Events), and we immediately hired him after our initial meeting. It really says something when other vendors only have great things to say! He did such a wonderful job on our wedding day and really kepted everything flowing smoothly with no hiccups. Our ceremony sounds was absolutely perfect and the microphones were sooo easy to use and captured all the sound perfectly. Jon was great at making announcements, (even though it wasn't planned) like when he had to tell people to go to cocktail hour. We also had a photobooth package with him and the attendant did such a great job running the booth. It was definitely the most popular event and our families still raves about the pictures they took! From the moment we met Jon, he was just so easy to talk to and knew exactly what we wanted for the day when we shared our vision. Jon is so professional, supportive, and positive, and I can't imagine having someone else on our special day. He is definitely worth the money and I would hire him again without a doubt for any event!

David with HiMotive Entertainment was easy to communicate with leading up to our wedding. He was direct in answering all of my questions. Unfortunately, he came down with COVID shortly before our big day. However, he assured me he had a replacement available. I didn't learn until afterwards that his replacement drove all the way from Florida to Virginia through Tropical Storm Debbie to ensure he could perform at our wedding! This level of dedication was so appreciated. Both musicians were prompt, friendly, and helped make our special day feel even more special. The music really brought our venue to life and set the tone for a fun, romantic evening celebrating with our nearest and dearest.

MyDeejay has been the Baltimore / Washington DC area's premier wedding DJ service for over 15 years! Our polished, no-cheese performing style is perfect for couples who want an awesome dancing experience for their guests, but aren't interested in the typical "entertainer emcee" style of performer. Visit our website to learn more about our services and approach!

We hired DJ Chuck from mydeejay for our wedding on April 6, 2024 at Kent Island Resort, and it was the best decision! From our initial phone call, after interviewing a few different DJs from different companies, we knew Chuck would be the right fit. Throughout the planning process he was very accommodating, and the mydeejay planning portal was incredibly thorough and easy to navigate. Chuck arrived early to set up for both our outdoor ceremony and indoor reception. His equipment was top of the line - everyone said our ceremony music (which was played outside during an incredibly windy day) sounded like live string music. His indoor set up was incredibly sleek looking. Chuck played all of our requested songs, cut them at the perfect places when needed (for ceremony and dances) and mixed in others that kept our dance floor packed all night - which is what we wanted most at our reception. We also ordered uplighting through them which turned out great. I highly recommend DJ Chuck and mydeejay for your wedding or event!

Team Topedo, We wanted to send a HUGE thank you to the entire team. You all helped make our wedding an absolute blast! The dancing on a cloud made for some fantastic videos and pictures, the uplighting really added some nice ambiance for dinner and set the tone for the reception, and the glow sticks just really brought the party to life! The video turned out amazing! Last weekend, we watched the full ceremony edit, theatrical trailer, and gameday entrance. The attention to detail during the filming and with the audio, video, and transition in the final project was astounding. Your seamless integration with our photographer, the other vendors, and the guests made everything feel natural. The videos are some of our most cherished keepsakes. The groomsmen really appreciated the Gameday clip, which turned out perfectly! Wow! We asked you to get the party started after dinner and keep the dance floor packed...and you delivered! The music hit everything we wanted: every genre, transitions and mixups, even non-wedding songs - they were all mixed in seamlessly. The attention to detail in our song/artist/genre suggestions and ability to read the crowd was incredible! All the guests raved about the music selection, and our guests had a very eclectic collection of music tastes. Everyone was out on the dance floor all night - it was perfect! We had MULTIPLE guests tell us this was one of the most fun weddings they had ever attended - and one of the guests was a former professional wedding planner! We cannot recommend you highly enough and have dropped your name in any conversations we have in evolving weddings, videography, or DJs. Thank you for such an incredible wedding and such unforgettable memories!

Mark was hands down THE best part of our wedding! He was so helpful during the whole planning process. Any questions we had he gave us the best advice. He doubles down as a “Day of Coordinator” as well, making sure the timeline is down to a tee. The lights he set up in our reception was like nothing I’ve seen at any other wedding. He even had us throw down on the turntable and it was such a fun and unique moment that everyone loved!! It really was electric during party time! Mark is also so friendly and personable. He was our favorite vendor to work with. My advice is to stop scrolling now and BOOK THIS MAN for your wedding!!! You will not regret it. THANK YOU MARK FOR THE BEST DAY EVER!!!!

  • Serves Corriganville, MD

Saroj James Hyoju, got into DJ industry upon walking into Latin club in Dallas, Texas in 2015. Coming from band background, he was surprised to see how people were moved by “Gasolina”, a reggaeton song. Observing how DJ was controlling the crowd’s energy while enjoying himself, this made him curious about club music genres, besides metal and rock. Following immediately, he hosted a Bring Your Own Beer (BYOB) house party, where 50 people showed up. A week later, he was invited to co-DJ at one of his friends’ wedding reception and rest is the history.

Great Versatile and flexible Wedding DJ. Great to work as a partnering vendor. DJ Saroj ensures there is no communication gap during the project process and ensures great attention to detail in working with any vendors. While working together, he proactively asks us if we are fine with lights being turned off before opening the dance floor and make sure we have enough of event photo coverage. That level of care and professionalism is beyond our imagination. We always feel very welcomed and we are always excited working with him.

For bride and grooms to be - do yourself a favor and look no further, seriously! Jordan was amazing during the entire planning process, he always replied in a timely manner and made every little request I had seem like no biggie and made it happen! He provides access to an online portal (extremely cool!!) which gives you the opportunity to give him a general idea of the type of music you want and keeps things extremely organized...Now more importantly, he literally had the crowd on the dance floor the ENTIRE time... and I’m not exaggerating. (People were texting me days later that they’re sore from dancing the whole night!) He is able to read the crowd and deliver. Its been a few months since the wedding and I STILL receive compliments about the DJ - how incredible the music was and how awesome his lighting work was.

I bailed on corporate America to start my DJ career, working for a multi-op company whose DJ’s all work part-time. Disenchanted w/the impersonal, volume-based multi-DJ business model, I went out on my own, providing my couples with a non-cheesy, musically lively reception. I take a personalized approach that involves them in planning their entertainment, creating a non-cookie cutter, unforgettably fun celebration experience:) Over 700 weddings later, I still get the best couples: real, genuine people who are interested in having a fun & classy wedding day!

Paris was an absolutely incredible vendor to work with. His attention to pre-planning did not go unnoticed. He was very attentive and quick to respond to all of our needs and ensured everything was exactly as my husband and I wanted. He provided perfect introductions, music edits for both the ceremony and the reception, and uplighting that made our reception hall look beautiful. He also took some incredible photos and videos that we will cherish forever (photo attached). Paris was absolutely delightful to work with and we would recommend him to anyone!!

Kelton was wonderful to work with from start to finish. He stuck with us even when we had to postpone our wedding for two years due to the pandemic, so we really appreciated his commitment to working with us. Kelton has a great system for figuring out your taste, priorities, and run of show. He set up very quickly at our venue, which was key given we were running on a tight schedule, and he managed to produce nice sound in a very cavernous space (no idea how!). He kept us running on time and made all transitions seamless. His music perfectly matched the vibe we wanted, starting with a relaxed cocktail hour and dinner, and gradually increasing the tempo into a full-scale dance party as the night went on. And our friends and family had an absolute blast! He had everyone from 20 somethings to family in their 60s and 70s dancing until the very end! We got so many positive messages the next day, including one person who described our DJ as being "on fleek."

Ryan went above and beyond as our DJ. He helped organize the craziness of dinner before killing it on the table. The majority of our guests (we had a lot) either didn’t leave the dance floor or kept coming back! As the bride I only left to cool off then right back out to the best dancing songs he was playing. He narrated our guys vs girls flip cup game and even judged (girls won by default). All around an amazing job and I’d recommend him to anyone looking for a fun DJ who isn’t afraid to lend a hand and help get the job done, even if it’s a bit out of his job description. Thank you!
