Ed is a great guy, was really easy to work with and did an excellent job overall. Very professional and friendly and had a high quality setup and equipment. We liked how we were able to pick songs we wanted played (and even songs we didn't want played) at our wedding in his software. We were very happy and cannot recommend him enough!

We used Boss Hill Entertainment for our wedding in 2022. DJ "T", from start to finish, helped us with our chosen music and timeline. She was so knowledgeable and made the process very easy. DJ Rony Gee was super fun and had everyone dancing throughout the evening. When guests were being lame, he went out and danced or said the right things at the right moment, which made everything run super smooth and got the guests pumped. Thier dance lighting and sound system appeared topnof the line and their uplighting gave the atmospher the right ambiance. Needless to say we all had so much fun and we would recommend Boss Hill Entertainment for anyone's wedding.

If you are still unsure about selecting Loyalty Entertainment for your special day- direct your attention to this review!! I met Loyal and Nicole in person pre-COVID and they presented all of their offerings to me and my parents. We knew it was the right decision immediately due to our personalities vibing, their professionalism, and their level of experience. We ended up selecting the Diamond DJ package with DJ Loyal, the Diamond Photography package with Anne (I love her forever), and the Gold Videography package with Craig. I left the meeting knowing that they would help make our wedding perfect. Fast forward to COVID and quarantining, I texted Nicole nervously, almost weekly, during the few months of quarantine. She was EXTREMELY supportive- like family member supportive. We had to downsize and switch venues due to restrictions, but one thing she told me that resonated was “No matter how many people you have at your wedding, Loyal will do his thing and it will be great”. Y’ALL- I didn’t know when Nicole said it would be great that it would literally EXCEED every single one of our expectations! It has been almost 2 weeks since our wedding and our guests are still telling us how incredible our DJ was and that if they ever need a DJ they will hit me up for Loyal’s contact information. The hype is REAL! I wanted a “club vibe” with “clean trap” and it was SOOO FUN. Everyone was on the dance floor for over 3 hours. Loyal read the room incredibly well. He took my song suggestions and amplified the vibe by mixing songs together that made the crowd wild…I mean Mariah Carey into Soulja Boy?! I’m still talking about that incredible transition, and I know my guests are too! The up-lighting in the room with the Diamond DJ package, and the dancing on a cloud first dance were show stoppers. The first dance was such a special moment and I am so thankful that Anne, Ashley, and Craig captured it, so that we can go back and relive it whenever we want! I need to hype up Anne…she was PHENOMENAL! From our engagement shoot, to our wedding day. Anne took the time to get to know us and our families. On wedding day, she was on a first-name basis with all family members- calling out specific names during photo moments to both adhere to our timeline and shot list with ease. She helped inspire a ton of cool photo opportunities- including dip shots that are now printed on canvas around our home. We have received an overwhelming amount of compliments on how beautiful our wedding photos are and we could not be more grateful! Anne and Ashley were a dream team behind the lens. The 7 day turnaround time with the Diamond package really helped me, as a bride, not worry about my phone on wedding day, knowing that all of the photos would be in my inbox just a few days later. I hope that as our family grows, Anne can help us capture more special moments! Anne and Craig (photographer and videographer) worked together flawlessly. They were fabulous partners who quite literally made magic happen. I wish I could do it all over again just to hang out with Loyal and the whole Loyalty crew again!! They are extremely talented people who genuinely care to get to know you and your wants/needs. We are forever grateful for the experience that they delivered. My husband and I had so much fun that we almost forgot about the pandemic. I can’t stop mentioning how impressed I am with each Loyalty professional and this company as a whole. THANK YOU LOYALTY ENTERTAINMENT!

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!!!!

He understands all of the intricacies that go into planning an event and is happy to offer advice and guidance along the way.

Awarded Best of Zola
Winston is an excellent DJ and MC (which in my experience as a wedding photographer, the MC aspect can unknowingly get neglected when choosing a DJ). Every couple should want a DJ who is great with the music selections AND giving smooth transitions for events or announcements throughout the day. Never an awkward moment with Winston. During one wedding I worked with him, the catering was short-staffed and running behind on dinner, so Winston was asking if there was anything he could do to help get things back on track-- carry plated meals to guests, etc. Winston is proactive, positive and considerate to the couples wishes for their music and flow of events. You won't regret choosing to work with him!

We LOVED the music Matt played at our wedding party. He was seamless is transitioning genres from when the party first started to end of the night. I had SO many friends at the party come up and say they were loving the music. Best part was he didn't play a single one of those classic wedding anthem songs that everyone has heard a million times (which was our worry). He nailed it, couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our special night.

When it comes to weddings, there's only one chance to get it right! It's why I care so much about each wedding and that I treat each one as if it were my own! THAT is the kind of passion I give each and every one of my couples to not only ensure the vision for their day comes to reality but that their ONLY 'responsibility' on their wedding day is to celebrate with their family and friends! Quite frankly, I LOVE weddings and I consider it an honor to be part of their day & assisting them in creating lifelong memories (not to mention the amount of trust that my couples place upon me).

Jack made our special day the absolute best! He can definitely read a room!! Played all the songs we requested and vibed off everyone’s energy. All of our guests couldn’t leave the dance floor ! His timing was perfect and I had zero stress because of how much I trusted his judgement. Plus, he came highly recommended by a colleague who had Jack DJ her wedding several years ago.

Frederick DJs 

4.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,850
  • Serves Derry, PA

My team of DJs and I truly appreciate it. A little background on who I am and what sets Frederick DJs apart from the rest. Starting as a DJ as a kid, yes, a kid of only 14! I took a huge interest in the entertainment industry. It started a little before then, but that’s when I got into DJing. I fell in love with playing music for others while working at a roller-skating rink. (Wisconsin Sk8 University) I later moved on from the roller rink where I became a DJ assistant for a solo DJ who specialized in weddings. Let’s just day that gave me a whole new love for the job.

We recently had Robert DJ our June wedding. Pros were that he was on time and friendly. He handled little hiccups smoothly and w/o complaint. Prices are reasonable and he offers a lot of services, like ceremony recordings and fun add-ons. He really can be a one-stop shop for a lot of wedding entertainment. While I think he is a good all-purpose DJ, I'm not sure that he was the right fit for us in the end. Specifically our two biggest concerns were that 1) he didn't consistently use the language we had asked him to use to address guests and 2) communication leading up to the wedding was less organized than I would have preferred. In our case, we really prioritized communicating with vendors about our desire for an affirming, somewhat non-traditional wedding. From the onset when we hired vendors, we asked about comfort and experience working with a diverse range of guests and requested that vendors be attentive to using inclusive language, especially as it relates to including LGBTQ folks. In the case of DJ services, we requested he not use gendered language like "ladies and gentlemen" due to the gender diversity of our guests. We also had an integrated wedding party so we weren't using some of the traditional wedding party language. I get that this is a specific and maybe unusual request, so we wanted to be really sure our vendors were okay with it, and Robert was super friendly and agreeable when we talked about it. I think Robert's intentions were really good here -- he expressed a lot of desire to make sure he got this right and willingness to be careful. Maybe those requests were made too long ago though, because when we got to the day of, we had a lot of issues here. Our coordinator had to talk to him about using less gendered language, which did not seem to result in much improvement (there was definitely effort...at one point he said "ladies and....guests....esteemed guests" but then he went right back to "ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls"), and it was really frustrating for both us and her. He also told us we'd have a ceremony recording the day after. There was really no rush, but that was what he told us would happen. Instead, we got the recording a week later than he had originally stated, and we were not told it would be delayed until I asked twice. I think it's also worth noting that the ceremony recording did not include the music for procession and recession. (This is on us, we should have confirmed that would be included, but it was disappointing) Communication tended to be a little last-minute and unscheduled -- e.g., spontaneous phone calls rather than putting something on the calendar. Followups were sometimes required. He also texted me (bride) the morning of asking if he could bring an assistant and requesting we add a meal for that additional person. Not a big deal, but I do wish he would have communicated in advance/not while we were all trying to get ready. Otherwise, I thought/heard feedback that some of the music transitions were a bit awkward, but not to an extent that was too disruptive. None of these are big issues, but the multitude of small communication inconveniences and frustrations did add up to where I would not feel comfortable recommending Frederick DJs to a friend. Robert is nice, but I'm not sure he was the right call for our needs. He might be a better fit for someone else, particularly if you are looking to include a number of add-ons and want to use one, reasonably-priced company

My experience over the years has allowed me to make sure the preparation that I put forth, allows the day to go as smoothly as possible and is willing to make adjustments in the moment.

DJ Rayford LLC was fantastic to work with for our wedding! From our first call, their communication style was strong, fun, and hype - they really got us excited about the music and dancing for our big day. And they delivered on that excitement, playing great music that kept our guests on the dance floor all night long. DJ Rayford really made our wedding day extra special by providing an amazing soundtrack and keeping the energy high. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ company to be a part of our celebration.

Jay absolutely made our wedding!! The dance floor was packed the entire time. He understood the vibes and read the room so well. Leading up to the day, Jay was super communicative — answering every question we had and keeping us on track to make sure every music detail was thought about. Plus, the app he provided for planning made song selection and special requests seamless, collaborative and super manageable! The DJ / instrumental fusion he offers brought the dance floor to the next level! Guests are still raving about the sax player, who played 2 songs for us during dinner and then stayed on the dance floor the entire night! Would 110% recommend Jay and his team for any wedding or event!

  • Serves Derry, PA for additional fees

My goal for your event is straightforward: to create a musical atmosphere your guests will enjoy, in a tasteful way to conserve your excellent reputation. I look to do this by curating my family-friendly music library with all genres, removing instances or entire songs with profanity, vulgar descriptions, and offensive lyrics. I want you and your guests to feel comfortable for the entirety of the event, starting with the mood music that represents your style, whether you've chosen every song or have a few key picks you want me to build a playlist around.

His professionalism is top-notch, from start to finish, making communication a breeze. He has an incredible knack for reading the dancefloor, ensuring every beat keeps the party alive. Working with him was an absolute pleasure, and his expertise was one less stress for us to deal with. Highly recommend for any event!
