Hey I’m Anthony! I'm a Virginia based DJ/MC or "Vibe Creator" as I prefer to call it. It's my absolute joy to run a business that specializes in creating and sharing once in a lifetime experiences for some of the most incredible people. My versatility and passion for my craft has kept me a sought after DJ for over two decades. With my experience in the wedding industry, I have the knowledge and skills to handle all aspects of your wedding entertainment. Providing you with an epic dance party is my main goal, but as your wedding DJ, I'm focused on making sure your entire wedding runs smoothly. I hope we get the chance to celebrate soon!

DJ Anthony Bryant (aka DJ Ant-Boogie) was absolutely amazing and such an important part of our wedding experience. When planning a wedding, there are a million things to worry about. DJ Ant Boogie is not one of them. He was so nice and so patient and professional with us during the planning, and an absolute joy to work with during the actual wedding. We had such little direction for him and gave the most vague descriptions of our friends and ourselves and the general vibe and he crafted the most perfect wedding playlist I have ever heard. All night people were complimenting us on our amazing song choices (all DJ ant boogie) and the dance floor was alive literally all night. He also did such a wonderful job with all of our special requests and announcements and all the “scripted wedding stuff” that happens during a wedding. Everyone had such an amazing time and he was such an integral part of that. DJ Ant Boogie, thank you so much for such a wonderful experience. We had a perfect night, and we are so grateful.

Visit our website to learn more about our services and approach!

I love dancing (badly) at weddings so a priority for me when planning my own was that the dance floor be packed! MyDeeJay paired us with DJ Jeff who was great to work with. He was super understanding of our music indecisiveness and some last minute adjustments. Day of, he made sure he knew how to pronounce everyone's names and gave all the speakers a heads up so they weren't surprised when it was time for them to speak. He also took our Spotify playlist for the pre-ceremony/cocktail hour/dinner and broke it up and expanded it to fit the vibe for each of those. And, of course, he played music that kept people on the dance floor all night! Making sure we had the right DJ was a priority for me and I'm so relieved we ended up with Jeff!

More than 10 years ago, I had a friend who came to me and said, “Frank, you have a lot of music, a nice sound system and are not scared to speak in front of people. How about you DJ my wedding?” That pattern continued over the next 5-6 years, with more people asking me to DJ. That was the beginning of Prime Time Event Group. Since then, I’ve gone through extensive training and have DJed over 350 weddings and events. I love knowing that we make sure our clients’ wedding or event is not just a great memory, but an amazing experience that they will cherish forever.

If I could give Prime Time Event Group 6 stars, I would (and it still wouldn't be enough). Frank and his team kept our wedding reception on the dance floor all night, through not only a playlist of bangers but also an acute sense of what song to shift into if the previous one seemed a little lackluster with the crowd (which only happened once anyway). Working with him was so easy and he's so personable; he truly made us feel more excited about the wedding every time we talked. We will be recommending him to everybody we know getting married in the area! They're amazing!

They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire.

I contacted Cake Fight to play at my 70th birthday party, and they got right back to me. Their quality was good, and they had a large playlist and asked me what songs I'd like to do. They even convinced me to play a song since I'm a classical guitarist. I did a number with them and really enjoyed it. They had the whole crowd up and dancing, which I loved to see. It was the best birthday party I ever had.

Our bands cover Top 40 hits, fiery versions of Soul, smooth versions of Motown, elegant jazz classics, toe-tapping bluegrass, and country - it all exists among the performers we work with!

We used Sam Hill Entertainment to book the band “The Dickens”. This is the part of our wedding everyone is still talking about. They played such a variety that every age was able to enjoy. Not a single person was sitting at the tables while the Dickens were on the stage. They were very interactive with the crowd and even let the groom (a guitar player) get up there and jam out with them. This was such a fun addition to the wedding and we loved every minute of it!

We could not have asked for a better duo than DJ Bess and DJ Move for our wedding. Working with Vince was a great experience. He always followed up with us, and had great suggestions, taste, and communication. He went above and beyond by visiting the venue twice for a sound check and monogram placement, worked well with our team, and met with us virtually several times to understand our vision in tailoring his services to make our dream wedding a reality. Even when we had a last minute decision 2 days before the wedding, Vince was receptive and accommodating to our request. During the wedding, they did a fantastic job reading the room and sticking to our schedule. The compliments on their work was endless, and several people asked for his business card during the reception! They kept the party alive! We HIGHLY recommend this incredible team!! Thank you, Vince (DJ Bess) and Tony (DJ Move) for making our night so memorable!!
