“Can’t even begin to express just how AMAZING DJ Loyal and his team were for our wedding. Seriously. We aren’t exactly known for our ability to do anything in a timely manner. We got DJ loyal by pure luck as another couple had booked him and when they opted out of their venue contract we took their venue and by happen stance, their DJ. Hands down, the BEST purchase we made. Seriously, people still can’t stop talking about our wedding. Yes, the food was great and so was the venue but what truly made thus celebration so memorable by all was the DJ. My husband and I wanted a huge dance party with our friends and family. We got it and couldn’t be more thrilled. In tune with our lifestyle, Loyal and his team were patient and helpful when we didn’t have anything picked out and nothing input into a very simple system they give each of their customers to select some of the specific music we might like in accordance with our wedding timeline. Even though we basically didn’t have an outline done until four days before, no one would have known by the music because it was perfection. He embraced our idea of a more upbeat ceremony and continued to keep us on the dance floor the entire night. Seriously, we didn’t even get our late night bites because we were too busy on the dance floor! Additionally, The set up was great. Having people send pictures to the TVs so we can see all the photos and the music videos really set the stage for a long lasting fantastic party! The overall set up was extremely esthetically pleasing. It looked so clean and professional with the lighting really setting the mood for the night. Also, the photo booth was amazing. We still are cracking up laughing at all the photos. Including the ones with a wedding crasher. The dance floor photo booth is the way to go! Finally, the DANCERS. Kilian and Melissa were AMAZING. Seriously. We had a blast with them and so many of our friends kept telling us how great our two friends were at dancing lol. We cannot express how much we loved DJ loyal and his staff. From beginning end this company is amazing. Zero regrets. And keeping up with our pre-marriage lifestyle. This review was long overdue. September 24, 2022 was the best night of our lives and we are so happy this company was a HUGE part in making it our favorite memory.”

“I can't say enough good things about our experience with Winston. He was both an excellent master of ceremonies through the first part of our wedding and great DJ to close out the night. He helped to keep all of the ceremonies (first dance, etc l.) along at a good pace without anything being rushed. Our dance floor was full the entire night and I got so many messages the following week about how much fun people had and how good Winston was. I definitely would recommend Winston to anyone without hesitation.”

“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 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.

“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."”
