DJ Brian Jones with MyDeejay was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding! His communication style was professional yet fun - he really took the time to get to know us as a couple and what we envisioned for our big day. The quality of his work was amazing and he went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly. A few personal touches that meant so much: DJ Brian helped me pull off a surprise for our first dance! He secretly incorporated a recording of me singing our first dance song with my dad on guitar. It brought tears to my husband's eyes! Additionally, Brian was so accommodating and helpful every step of the way. We loved collaborating with him and highly recommend MyDeejay's services, especially the talented DJ Brian!

We worked with Jeremy for our wedding this past July 2024. We were able to setup our contract early in the year and filled out a thorough questionaire for music choices, announcements, day-of events (first dance song, anniversary dance song, etc.) which gave us a great starting direction for planning the reception. Day of was perfect. Mics were available for our officiant and ourselves at the ceremony, the music quality was great. We had told Jeremy that the songs we elected in the questionnaire were more of a palette of our music tastes and we were thrilled by our/his music choices throughout the day both during the dinner and dancing part of the reception. And for the dance portion of the night, we were blown away by that all the songs were blended and mixed seamlessly stringing the night together. He did NOT just press "go" on a playlist that played through the night be instead weaved songs and kept our party going til the very end. Without a doubt, Jeremy was perfect for our wedding and we would definitely recommend his skills for any wedding.

DJ D-Mac & Associates

  • DJ
  • Serves Wash, DC

Based in the nation’s capital, DJ D-Mac & Associates changed the wedding DJ game nearly 20 years ago. We continue to innovate, fusing genres, filling dance floors, and bringing smiles to faces. Let's create an unforgettable experience together!

Awarded Best of Zola
DJ D-Mac was one of the first "wedding day details" we locked in. After my wife and I got engaged, we pretty much immediately dove headfirst into wedding planning. One of the first things we knew is that we wanted to work with a DJ rather than a band. And I knew I wanted to work with DJ D-Mac. The first time I saw D-Mac spin a set was at a friend's wedding in 2014, and I was blown away. At every wedding since then, I've measured other DJs' performances against what I saw (and couldn't stop dancing to) that day. His ability to blend songs, flowing from one crowd pleaser to the next while pairing them in unexpected and delightful ways kept the dancefloor packed and moving all night. Once we'd finished the official wedding business of speeches, toasts, and cake cutting, I ducked my head over to the DJ booth and said, "I don't wanna leave the dancefloor for the next three hours." Unsurprisingly, he delivered exactly what my wife and I -- and all of our guests -- were looking for. Since our wedding in September, the most consistent feedback we've received from wedding guests is how incredible our DJ was and how much fun they had at our reception. Seriously, I wish I'd kept a log of the number of times "y'all's DJ was amazing" or something similar has been said or texted to me. We're already looking for an excuse to throw another party so we have a reason to work with D-Mac again. In addition to delivering day-of magic, D-Mac was a pleasure to work with, thanks to his creativity and professionalism. Do yourself a favor and book him as soon as you know your wedding date.

Anthem String Quartet played for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, and we highly recommend them! We are sci-fi geeks and were thrilled to see that they had some movie and TV themes in their repertoire list that fit our taste, plus they accommodated some special requests. The musicians were professional on site and sounded wonderful - lots of compliments from our guests. Our processional and recessional were timed perfectly. Chelle was responsive and super easy to work with during the planning process. We had a very DIY wedding and she had some great suggestions that were helpful.

PopCulture Strings offers an innovative and contemporary take on the traditional concept of a classical string quartet. PopCulture Strings presents themselves with a youthful appearance, dressed either in traditional black-tie, or alternative costume options to fit the theme of your event, or to simply lift the atmosphere. Another twist on the typical string quartet is their capability of performing any variety of musical styles from Sinatra favorites, to classic rock, to R&B and any of the current Billboard Top 40 hits heard on the radio and in dance clubs.

PopCulture Strings was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first call, their communication was efficient, transparent, and incredibly helpful. Their knowledge and confidence set us at ease throughout the planning process. The quality of their work was truly professional and modern - they learned new songs for our ceremony and reception and provided honest, valuable feedback to ensure everything fit our vision perfectly. Our guests raved about the energy and skill of the musicians, and we could not have been happier with the experience. PopCulture Strings is a fun option for anyone looking to add contemporary string music to their next event. Super professional and very reasonably priced, I highly recommend using them!

Ryan is truly the jack of all trades, the absolute kindest human being, and incredibly professional. We are SO glad he was a (major!) part of our wedding day! He was super communicative when we had questions, helped give us some advice, and *!!!even learned a new song just for us!!!* We had just attended a friends wedding and the music was super unrelatable to my fiance (husband now lol) and our friends. We were bummed and worried - hopeful that ours would be fun and get people out there! Ryan was AMAZING. He curated the perfect playlist, set up THREE different locations to play, AND was super cool to honor all our specific wishes. 10 mins to the end I went to him and said eh we are tired such a long day, we can probably wrap up - he assured me he had some incredible songs for the last few, told me to rally- he DID. Ended the night on such a fun, high note. I would recommend Ryan over and over and over and over again. Not only did he totally rock the DJ/musician aspect, but he’s truly a kind person- which just really rounded out the whole experience. 10000/10 experience — thank you Ryan!!!

They were a little bit out of our budget, but we decided to book them anyways and cut back on other things and let me tell you ...they were worth every single penny!!! Luke is the nicest, coolest guy and so great to work with!! He listened to every request we had leading up and I truly didn't think about a thing during the wedding day - he had our timeline completely under control and kept us on track (and if we were running behind I still have no idea because he's that good!!). The band is INCREDIBLE and had our guests on the dance floor all night!! I realized at the end of the night I never even changed out of my heels into my white sneakers because that would have meant leaving the dance floor.

Pat and Sean Kelly were the perfect wedding musicians and DJs for our special day. From the moment we first spoke with them, their enthusiasm and accommodating nature put us at ease. They were incredibly helpful in guiding us through the process and ensuring our vision for the music came to life. The quality of their work was truly exceptional - our guests raved about the talented duo, from the acoustic energy they brought to the cocktail hour to the way they got the party started on the dance floor at just the right time. Pat and Sean helped us achieve a beautiful fusion of our two cultures through music - making the whole evening feel exactly like us. Their fair pricing and professionalism made them a fantastic value, and we cannot recommend them enough.

James was the DJ for my wedding just two weeks ago! Going into the planning process, I knew Born to DJ because James also did my sister's wedding. He is one of the only DJ's I know that constantly reads the crowd. If he can tell people aren't liking a song, he will change it to keep everything lively. I wanted my wedding day to be a huge party, and I really wanted people dancing for the majority of it. That is not an easy thing to do but I have seen James keep people dancing and engaged at my sister's wedding and now mine. The planning couldn't have been easier, and I always felt reassured after speaking with him. Born to DJ couldn't have done better and I highly HIGHLY recommend them.

We hired Gerald and his 5-piece band ("The Plus Ones") for our wedding last September and CANNOT RECOMMEND THEM ENOUGH! From the very beginning, Gerald was incredibly thoughtful and accommodating, listening to our requests and going above and beyond to create a personalized setlist that perfectly represented our taste. Gerald’s ability to fill in the blanks and suggest songs that complemented our selections was truly impressive. The band’s seamless integration of our requests created a truly memorable experience for our wedding, one that represented “us” perfectly. Gerald’s solo guitar performances during cocktail hour and the ceremony added a light and beautiful touch to the day’s events. The entire band as a whole was professional and true masters of their craft. The female lead singer has an INCREDIBLE voice and stage presence that kept our guests entertained throughout the night. We received countless compliments on the band, with many people mentioning how much fun they had dancing and singing along. The Plus Ones, with Gerald at the helm, truly made our wedding a night to remember, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a fantastic band for their special event.
