It doesn’t get any better than Signature DJs. We booked Signature DJs for ceremony/reception music, Photo Booth, and uplighting. Brandon and Kellie were more than helpful during the wedding planning process. Signature DJs periodically sent me emails to remind me of anticipated steps to keep me on track. I had already booked my Day-Of Coordinators, but had I not I definitely would have booked Kellie! On the day of our wedding, Signature DJs arrived early and easily set up. Meredith with the photo booth was amazing! Our guests loved the customized photobooth strips! We are so glad that we booked Signature DJs because our wedding would not have been as perfect as it was without their services!

Our mission is simple, to provide your magical day with amazing memories that will last you a lifetime.

Your dance party will be a fist pumping, top of the lungs singing, crowd-surfing, and dancing all night type of party!

We’d highly recommend Dream Team Events! Everyone we worked with was very professional and polite. With their DJ service, they have an app that helps coordinate your wedding day timeline and playlist, and it makes a huge difference in the flow of events. They were very organized, and all of their services exceeded our expectations. DJ Sonic did an amazing job and had everybody out on the dance floor! The monogram and the dancing on the cloud machine topped everything off and made it feel like we were in a fairytale.

196 Events | NO Boring Receptions Guaranteed!

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,299
  • Serves Portsmouth, VA

Hey there! We are Devail & Nikki, your husband and wife wedding entertainment team. 196 Events is a professional Wedding DJ & Photo Booth company based in Virginia Beach, Virginia. However, we serve couples across Hampton Roads, RVA, Central VA and the Shenandoah Valley.

196 Events was awesome to work with, and we would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for DJ services! They were extremely communicative and responded to every random question we had very promptly. I don’t think there were any issues all night with the microphones or music–everyone was audible and the music was great! I was very particular about what songs I wanted to have playing everywhere other than the dancing part of the reception, and they were able to play the songs I wanted and then find fun songs to encourage dancing during the reception! The website/app they use to help plan out the wedding timeline and associated music/mic needs was super easy to use and made it easy to keep everything straight. Devail and Nikki were both very, very kind people, and very fun and easy to work with! We also used their photo booth services, which was super fun for both us and our guests. We got all of the pictures sent to us digitally also, which have been a blast to look back through. And on top of ALL of that – they also worked with my now-husband to help him sing and play a surprise song for me on a keyboard! Nikki and Devail, thank you both so much for helping to make our wedding such a fun and memorable experience!!

I can not say enough about Alexandra. She is the best. She is accommodating and flexible. I was the mother of the groom and was allowed to do the music for the bride. The venue changed three times and Alexandra was always gracious and accommodating to us. Nothing fazed her. And she played amazing and the music was beautiful. Like I said I can not say enough good things about her except you will love her if she plays for your wedding. She did all the wedding music and an hour for the reception!

Not only did she make sure that everything we asked for went more than perfect. She also took control and made sure our beach front wedding was hooked up with microphones and music so everyone could here our vows and be a part of the most special day of our lives. She is a FULL PACKAGE and she is worth 5x’s more than she charges. I can honestly say that she was the main reason our wedding was so memorable. It’s been 8 years and I still have friends making comments on how much fun and excite of the whole event was. When my wife and I renew our vows on our 10th anniversary. Liz will not be hired to work the event. She will be attending as a guest. She literally turned into part of our family and is loved dearly by my wife and I.

I told him our theme, and he knew exactly what to do. It was perfect. Lastly, when I told David I wanted to dance under the stars at the night's end, he made that happen.
