Eric was awesome to work with from the start. He’s a true professional at his work and is extremely personable. He really understood the vision for our wedding and fulfilled it ten times over. We used Eric for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception and for all three he exceeded our expectations. The music was phenomenal and the lighting looks amazing in pictures. He helped us host a great party, was receptive to all of our song requests and preferences, and checked in with us as needed before and throughout the wedding. He kept the energy up all night and knew exactly what to play when. He was also a great emcee, super likable and not the least bit cheesy or abrasive during any announcements during the reception. Everyone complimented how cool he was and what a great set he played. We cannot recommend him enough and can’t wait to party with him again!

Jeremy aka OneManJamz provided a flawless experience for our wedding day--the setup was perfect for the venue, he absolutely killed it with song transitions and a custom mix for special dances (father-daughter dance being a particular highlight), and communication along the way put us at ease. The onboarding/consult process was very clear, and we felt like the soundtrack reflected the party very well. The night went way too quickly, but largely because everyone was having so much fun on the dancefloor. Thanks again for such a memorable night.

Awarded Best of Zola
Throughout every moment of our wedding, Ty was there to create joy and fun, and to keep everyone’s energy high. We received feedback from several guests that he was the best wedding DJ they’d ever seen, and we couldn’t agree more. On our planning call, he was warm and empathetic and you could tell that he really cared about understanding our goals for the day. Couple that with his vast depth of musical knowledge and well-trained ability to read the room, and you end up with the best DJ a wedding could hope to have. There were so many moments that Ty lifted and expanded, and we are grateful that he was with us to make the wedding truly memorable. Marquee Artists was also great— figuring out the logistics with Kelton was so easy and he was really communicative throughout the process.

Kelton from Marquee Artists was amazing! He was a communicative and active participant in the planning of the music and the announcements at my wedding on March 9. Kelton provided an extensive list of potential songs to play in a shared Google Document with columns for “play” and “do not play” which was great. Also, I was impressed that he attended the walk through of the Whittemore House a month prior to the wedding, asking pertinent questions of the Whittemore staff about the placement of various things and how best to provide the sound amplification that would be needed. He provided wireless mics which worked really well for the toasts. Kelton did a great job as the master of ceremony and his mix of the selected music was fun and fabulous. He had the crowd dancing, rocking to the music. Many of the older folks told me that they hadn’t danced in years but were having lots of fun doing so then. Having him on our wedding team instilled so much confidence in me, my daughter and new son-in-law, who is an amateur DJ. They were so taken by Kelton that, if possible, they would like to attend future events at which Kelton is the DJ!! I HIGHLY recommend him.

DJ Casanova Productions 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Washington, 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
DJ Casanova was recommended to us by our venue and we could not have been happier with our decision to have him DJ our wedding reception. He is extremely organized and responsive. He shared a wedding planning sheet with us that allowed us to build our timeline and reception playlist. He also allowed us to create our own playlists for cocktail hour and dinner music (though he has some of his own playlists that we 'stole' some songs from too). What really made DJ Casanova stand out was that he met with us virtually (we don't live in the DMV area) multiple times before our wedding. His main focus during the first session was to learn about us as individuals and a couple, as well as our families. The second session was focused on logistics, name pronunciations, etc. He was extremely receptive to our requests and made the wedding day exactly what we wanted. Many of our guests asked us how we found our DJ because they were so blown away with the musical selections he played and how friendly he was during the reception. We give our highest recommendation!

For bride and grooms to be - do yourself a favor and look no further, seriously! Jordan was amazing during the entire planning process, he always replied in a timely manner and made every little request I had seem like no biggie and made it happen! He provides access to an online portal (extremely cool!!) which gives you the opportunity to give him a general idea of the type of music you want and keeps things extremely organized...Now more importantly, he literally had the crowd on the dance floor the ENTIRE time... and I’m not exaggerating. (People were texting me days later that they’re sore from dancing the whole night!) He is able to read the crowd and deliver. Its been a few months since the wedding and I STILL receive compliments about the DJ - how incredible the music was and how awesome his lighting work was. If you want the best of the best, you’ve found it!!

PopCulture Strings - Kushner Entertainment

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!
