Grant was absolutely phenomenal! My husband and I, along with our guests, were blown away by his talent and his exceptional ability to accommodate all of our notes and requests. He worked closely with us to ensure everything was perfect. I highly recommend him for any event or occasion. People are still talking about his performance, and our only regret is that we didn't get to hear him for longer. It was truly magical.

DJ Nilla 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,200
  • Serves Lavale, MD for additional fees

I've DJed hundreds of parties since the mid 90s. I started DJing when I was 13-years old with my dad. He taught me the tricks of the trade. Music and people are my passion — I would love to help you have the best party as possible!

DJ Nilla (Allan) did a fantastic job at our wedding reception in the Spring of 2022. He was very easy to work with and very thorough. Allan coordinated with our venue, made creative recommendations, and knocked it out of the park at the reception. He was also very reasonably priced! Next time we need a DJ, DJ Nilla will be the first person we call! Allan, thank you again for making our special day even better!

DJ Casanova Productions 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Lavale, MD for additional fees

If you’ve had a good time at a wedding or event in the DC/Maryland/VA area, chances are it was DJ Casanova that got you moving. You know him as DJ Casanova, but around the office, we just call him Jamie. Back in the day, he was just a child of immigrants recording his favorite songs over his parent’s cassette tapes (sorry Mom and Dad) so he could listen to them on his prized Walkman. Jamie entered the DJ field in 2009, and before long he was spinning something at a different party every week. Pretty soon he realized that sharing his love of music with like-minded folks was more than just a hobby, it was a gift.

We had an amazing experience working with Jamie (DJ Casanova) for our wedding in October 2022 (been meaning to write a review for so long)! Jamie was very professional throughout the whole planning process. We actually hired him in 2020 but we had to postpone our wedding twice because of covid (he was very flexible and made the postponement process very smooth). We met virtually/over the phone a few times and he assured us he was available to meet as many times as we'd like. Closer to our wedding date, we had a more formal meeting where we went through the timeline of the whole reception detail by detail. He had a form where we put in all the information, which showed he was experienced at the job. I was very particular about the type of music I wanted to be played at our reception and he was super easy-going about it and assured us that he was there to implement our vision. On our actual wedding day, everything went as planned and honestly even better than I could have ever imagined! I love to dance and so do many of our guests, and thanks to Jamie, the dance floor was never empty even for one second! He knew how to read the room and change the music accordingly. Even after our wedding, everyone couldn’t stop talking about how fun the party was! In sum, I highly recommend Jamie and already have recommended him to some friends looking to get married soon! Thank you again for everything, Jamie!

Follow the River Music

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $600
  • Serves Lavale, MD for additional fees

We are a music ensemble of mixed chamber music instruments. Violin, viola, cello, upright bass, flute, piano and clarinet. We service the Hampton Roads/Richmond VA areas, but have extensive experience traveling and touring, should your event require it. We are a modular ensemble, capable of adding or subtracting members based on the budget, music choices or sounds desired by the clients. We cover many genres and have the ability to play up-tempo dance songs, to laid back relaxing pieces and everything in between. Our goal is to be a "one stop shop" for any event that prefers live music.

The quartet added the perfect touch to my wedding. Everything was easy to plan and I was so happy with their music selections. They were on-time and exactly what we discussed. Thank you so much for making my already special day so memorable!

  • Starts at $7,500
  • Serves Lavale, MD for additional fees

My Hero Zero has honed its captivating blend of showmanship, talent, and pop-savvy to become one of the most regionally recognized bands along the east coast. The dual fronting abilities of Jason Olcese and Eric Damiano give the band the ability to cross genres and help you create that epic night out with your friends. Acoustic pop meets indie punk.

My Hero Zero and Angel were wonderful to work with. I was able to communicate with Angel months prior to the wedding to be sure the band's and my couple's needs were going to be taken care of. The band was professional, looked great, and played a fantastic party! From "load in" to "load out" everything went smoothly, and I had no worries during the entire event. I would recommend "My Hero Zero" for anyone looking for a band for their wedding.

Mama Juke 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Lavale, MD for additional fees

Mama Juke is a gumbo of New Orleans influenced blues, blue-eyed soul, funk, and folk. Actor/singer Elijah Bridges brings elements of bluegrass and rag with his soulful harmonica, acoustic guitar, and voice. Amos Rose is a world traveling multi-instrumentalist who also sings and plays lead Telecaster guitar, and was recently featured by Jazz at Lincoln Center. Brendan O’Grady is an in-demand session musician and fixture on the greater New York scene since his roots growing up in Yonkers. Drummer Jon Wert is a sought-after musician, collaborating with a wide variety of artists in the jazz, rock, pop production shows and songwriter worlds.

We booked Mama Juke for our 9/24/2022 wedding and they did not disappoint. I can’t say I wasn’t nervous, as they didn’t have any reviews posted yet, but Jon was very helpful in addressing all our concerns and they kept our guests entertained and dancing all night long! They learned our first dance song- Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves and put their own flair to it, which we loved. They are such a fun mix of rock, jazz, bluegrass, country and played a good mix of songs for all ages. I would also recommend listening to some of their original songs and including them in your day, my husband and I were so happy we did. :) I want to have another wedding just so we can have them play again!

They learned a few special songs for our ceremony and reception and put their own special touch on them to make it really special for us. They looked so glamorous and our friends and family are still telling us how unique they were, and couldn't believe how many languages the singer can sing in! This band is truly special and will elevate your wedding. Thank you Carte Blanche for an unforgettable night!
