About Kelton Higgins

Kelton Higgins

DJ

Kelton Higgins is a multi-award-winning DJ based in Washington, DC and Brooklyn, NY. Flawless mixing and a vast knowledge of music combined with exceptional planning and organizational skills ensures each event is a tailored experience. Specializing in weddings (ceremony, cocktails & receptions) and private event entertainment you can be assured your working with one of the absolute best. If you need a DJ who can play ANYTHING and EVERYTHING you want - then Kelton is the one for you.

Personality and experience set me apart. There aren’t a lot of people out there with the necessary combination of creativity and responsibility to be a great private event DJ. A lot of “real DJs” are just plain rude, and most “wedding DJs” will not push the envelope beyond the lowest common denominator. I occupy that rare middle ground where I can take the lead or take requests, play for young and old, pop or niche audiences and keep everybody dancing. I also find myself grooving along in the DJ booth and having as much fun as the guests, which tends to be infectious.

  • Ty Is Simply the Best

    Verified review
    Kara M.Nov 11

    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 is a supreme DJ master and he will make your event amazing and memorable. Kelton had his finger on the pulse of my brother's wedding and kept the guests engaged and dancing the whole night. He also expertly ensured the playlist reflected the bride and groom's taste and personality throughout. He was flexible, super easy to work with, clear about everything, and made sure every part of the evening sounded great. It's clear Kelton is a fantastic listener, a talented wedding crowd mind reader, and committed to making the evening special in exactly the way the bride, groom, and guests want.

    Having Kelton at our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. From start to finish, he really helped craft a great playlist and the perfect mood for the event, he's got great suggestions and keep the crowd moving. On top of all that, he's very organized, collaborates well, and is a very happy person- it's hard not to get excited!

    We hired DJ Kelton Higgins for our recent Wedding Reception. The DJ really does make the party and he made our’s a success. I highly recommend DJ Kelton. He was easy to book and work with to plan our song list and schedule. He brought all his own equipment and showed up right on time. He is a true authentic DJ mixing all the music … not like some DJs that just press enter and use Apple Music. He made it a really fun joyful celebration of music and dancing. Kelton is a real professional and high class DJ!
