Mike DJ'd my wedding in May 2023, and he is THE BEST. We cannot recommend him highly enough. Mike was very responsive, easy and fun to plan with, and great with communication leading up to the wedding. On the day of the wedding, we didn't need to touch base with him because we were confident he had everything covered. We had some interesting song requests, specific timing for certain songs, etc., and Mike handled everything perfectly. He was the perfect MC to help facilitate the grand march, speeches, dances, and dinner, and he kept the party going all night! We highly, highly recommend Mike!

JVMMS Events

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,600
  • Serves Wash, DC

I've spent the past 15+ years offering my musical knowledge to events all over the world. That experience translates to DJing weddings and events so seamlessly, from being able to read crowds and deliver exactly what you and your guests want, to managing logistics from the DJ booth in an effortless manner. Whether you want a folk-laden cocktail hour, a classic dinner playlist, or a modern dance party, let me be the one to provide the soundtrack to the most important day of your life!

Awarded Best of Zola
Our original DJ had a family emergency and I reached out to Jeremy one week before our wedding. He was somehow available which was the greatest miracle of our wedding. We were so stressed and he immediately calmed us down and ended the call with "let's have a wedding!" Given the timing, we didn't have time for another call before the day. He had a comprehensive questionnaire that covered every situation we wanted a specific song for (including our cake cutting song) so another call was not needed and he did everything perfectly. He is extremely adaptable and stepped in so many times without needing to be asked (helping corral people for pictures). He followed every song we wanted (and didn't want), but also was able to nail the vibe when given vague directions (chill love songs during our cocktail hour). The best part was when we opened up the dance floor, my Fitbit logged me as doing "sport" for 2 hours straight at one point and I did over 10,000 steps just from dancing. He kept people dancing and people loved it, my wife and I both had multiple people tell us our wedding was the one of the best they had been to BECAUSE of the DJ. My favorite part was he genuinely loves what he does, you could see the joy on his face when he made a great transition between songs and that energy was infectious. I would highly recommend him to anyone. He is extremely organized, professional, and fun. Jeremy, thank you for making our wedding unforgettable!

Kelton djed our wedding back in 2018 and we couldn't have been happier! He was the easiest vendor to work with by far. Always quick to respond to any question and very flexable.

The sound for our ceremony was perfect (a top priority for us after attending friends weddings where you couldn't hear anything) and the dance floor was packed all night. Save yourself the guesswork, he's great!

Daryle was our DJ for our big day and he was absolutely amazing to work with!! He communicated with us throughout the entire wedding planning process, understood our vibes/taste in music (Rap, HipHop, Latin music, etc). The day of the wedding he introduced us for our grand entrance, speeches, cut our music for our first dances, listened to the crowd, and was just truly SO MUCH FUN. We danced the entire night away.

DJ Casanova Productions 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Wash, DC

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Our Guests LOVED the music and Jamie was so easy to work with! If you want a DJ who is easy to work with, great at his craft, and cares about you and your needs, Jaime (DJ Casanova) is your man! My wife and I come from very different musical backgrounds, so making sure all of our family and friends had a good time and felt well-represented during the party was really important to us. From day one, Jaime made it feel like we were working with an old friend who just wanted the best for our wedding and he absolutely delivered! Everyone had so much fun and guest after guest commented on how much they enjoyed the music during the party. It’s also worth mentioning that Jaime hung with us after we had to reschedule our reception twice over two years (thanks, COVID) and worked with the rest of our vendors to make the long-awaited day as memorable as we could have ever hoped. Thanks, Jamie!

Kelton from Marquee Artists is awesome - he killed it dj-ing for the clients, the dance floor was non-stop going nuts the whole time! His demeanor is super low-key and easy going, and he was very easy to work with, which means a lot in this field. Weddings have lots of moving parts and can be chaotic, but having vendors that are kind and willing to work as a team makes the day go a whole lot smoother. The couple had lots of requests for songs in completely different genres, but he managed to keep the party going with no awkward pauses and seamless transitions. I highly recommend hiring him if you want someone that's going to work well with everyone and make sure to light the dance floor on fire!

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.
