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!

District remix was so helpful and easy to work with. They connected us with Ross Hyatt for our wedding and he was THE ABSOLUTE BEST! After listening to his 2000s mix we knew he was the one to make our wedding the insane sweaty party that we wanted. He knocked it out of the park and made our night the best ever.

DJ Ed and his wife Jess were very easy to work with and ultimately saved our day due to needing a last minute change of DJ 2 weeks before our wedding. DJ Ed was very professional, easy to communicate with and played a great playlist. He was also great with nonverbal communication as well during the reception for our first dance, as we wanted to cut the dance shorter than the length of the whole song and with the transition to cake cutting. He helped us figure it all out last minute and it went very smoothly and we can't thank him enough for being a part of our day.

MyDeejay has been the Baltimore / Washington DC area's premier wedding DJ service for over 15 years! Our polished, no-cheese performing style is perfect for couples who want an awesome dancing experience for their guests, but aren't interested in the typical "entertainer emcee" style of performer. Visit our website to learn more about our services and approach!

We recently used MyDeejay to book a DJ for our wedding and it was super straightforward. The booking and matching process through the MyDeejay site is clear and easy, and their pricing and expectations are very transparent up front which I appreciated. Their system is well built and user friendly. Their matching process is also great, because we LOVED the DJ we ended up with! We worked with DJ Chuck Nunn and he was absolutely phenomenal. We had friends playing pre-ceremony music, and he helped them get set up and navigate the venue. He also handled some on-the-fly requests from the FOB during cocktail hour and was able to play all of the songs that we wanted. He also absolutely CRUSHED IT on the dancefloor. He had everybody dancing, did some really cool transitions from one song into another. I would heartily recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ that can transition smoothly from one part of an event to the next, he was essential to the overall event management. We are so grateful to DJ Chuck!!!

DJ Paul T 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,750
  • Serves Essex, MD

I offer sound, lighting, photo booths, and special effects With a boutique approach to each couples wants, I promise more than just music and lights. I'll deliver what's right for you, tailored just for you. Forget the one size fits all DJ experience. From our very first meeting to the final song, I'm with you every step of the way. I am ready to share the great times with you and all of your guests.

Entertainment is arguably one of the most important and memorable aspects of a wedding, as it can truly make or break your day. Fortunately for me, I’ve worked in the service industry for over a decade and have seen my fair share of DJs and bands. This is how I met Paul. I always loved when he played at the bar I worked at because his sets were never the same—he read the room, kept the energy high, and was always amazing at it. I’ve also attended weddings where he DJ’d and MC’d, and those were the ones where I had the most fun. So, I was over the moon when I reached out and found out he was available for my wedding. I booked him immediately. Paul has been in the entertainment business for quite some time and offers more than just music. With options like customizable monogram/logo projections, a standalone or 360 photobooth (with an attendant and props), and uplighting, he helped us tailor our wedding experience to perfection. What I loved most about the photobooth was that we were able to pick our own template and backdrop and use our own logo/monogram for it. Guests received printed copies on the spot and digital copies sent to their phones. We also received a file of all the photos and GIFs taken, which was so fun to look back on. Paul has different equipment based on your space and vibe. The sleek white setup he brought to our small venue blended seamlessly with our aesthetic, while his ability to adapt his equipment ensured optimal sound quality throughout the day. From providing a lapel mic for our officiant to coordinating with our live acoustic cocktail hour, Paul went above and beyond to enhance every aspect of our day. Paul's responsiveness and flexibility, whether over email, text, or Zoom meetings, made the planning process seamless and stress-free. During the planning period, we met with him to discuss all the details like pre-ceremony music, procession, recession, introductions, first dance, last dance, parent dances, must-play songs, do-not-play songs, and whether or not we wanted requests (we opted for them, but only if they fit the vibe). He even let us cue up songs, coordinating with our wedding planner (for instance, signaling me when it was time for me to walk down the aisle). All of this was put in a shared Google spreadsheet and discussed during our meetings. He also had a remarkable ability to know exactly when to cut a song and have it fade out perfectly. As both DJ and MC, he effortlessly set the tone for the evening, keeping the dance floor packed and the atmosphere electric. He even looked like he was having a good time, cheering and dancing along with us. A few of our guests asked for his contact info and whether he did events other than weddings (which he does). He knew exactly what the crowd wanted and ensured everyone had a great time. And as an unexpected gift, his recording of our intro and first dance provided cherished memories we'll treasure forever, especially since we didn’t have a videographer. Thanks to Paul, our wedding was so much fun, filled with laughter, love, and plenty of dancing. We couldn't have asked for a better soundtrack to our special day.

DJ HeYJam

  • DJ

  • Serves Essex, MD

Saroj James Hyoju, got into DJ industry upon walking into Latin club in Dallas, Texas in 2015. Coming from band background, he was surprised to see how people were moved by “Gasolina”, a reggaeton song. Observing how DJ was controlling the crowd’s energy while enjoying himself, this made him curious about club music genres, besides metal and rock. Following immediately, he hosted a Bring Your Own Beer (BYOB) house party, where 50 people showed up. A week later, he was invited to co-DJ at one of his friends’ wedding reception and rest is the history.

Saroj was amazing! We have received so many compliments about our DJ. We wanted a DJ who understood that all we needed was a professional to help keep the guests on pace for the cocktail hour/reception without 'stealing the show.' He was the right man for the job. He was extremely responsive to our needs and desires, no frills, just good music to keep everyone moving. As well as being so responsive/helpful to my father as he had prepared something very special for the father/daughter dance. We are truly satisfied and feel so blessed with our choice.

Saroj was an amazing DJ for our wedding reception. He is very easy to work with and is flexible with the plans. He went above and beyond our expectations, and most of all he is a very down to earth and pleasant person.

My husband and I had one non-negotiable for our wedding - to have a live band. We went to the BVT showcase and immediately fell in love with Experience. 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. Our guests are still telling us how amazing the band was and several of them even got their card for their own events! Having Experience was the best decision we made!!

Mark was hands down THE best part of our wedding! He was so helpful during the whole planning process. Any questions we had he gave us the best advice. He doubles down as a “Day of Coordinator” as well, making sure the timeline is down to a tee. The lights he set up in our reception was like nothing I’ve seen at any other wedding. He even had us throw down on the turntable and it was such a fun and unique moment that everyone loved!! It really was electric during party time! Mark is also so friendly and personable. He was our favorite vendor to work with. My advice is to stop scrolling now and BOOK THIS MAN for your wedding!!! You will not regret it. THANK YOU MARK FOR THE BEST DAY EVER!!!!

Mike was so lovely to work with! He is prompt, personable, and helpful in all our communications, and we especially appreciated the ease of the planning process when using his app, to choose songs to play, info he needed to know as MC for our wedding night, and timeline planning. As DJ, he kept everyone on the dance floor all night, and kept the energy of the room up flawlessly. The balance between English and Spanish music was perfectly executed, and it’s clear that he knows and loves his work! As MC, he helped us to keep everything running smoothly, and make sure we were cued on time for our events. He made sure to make certain announcements in Spanish for my husband’s family as requested, which was such a nice touch. Overall, we had an amazing experience with Mike and his team, and couldn’t have asked for a better night!

DJ D-Mac & Associates 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Serves Essex, MD

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!

Two words best describe DJ D-Mac: Party Catalyst. I knew he was the perfect DJ for our wedding mere moments into our initial phone consultation. His knowledge and passion for many genres of music was evident from the get go, he was both personable and professional, and he had a genuine enthusiasm for our event. As someone who had a strong vision of the vibe I wanted for our wedding reception, planning the playlist with DJ D-Mac felt like the true collaborative process of my dreams. He took my must play/do not play lists and ran with them, making additional suggestions and unique mixes. He went above and beyond the call of duty in helping troubleshoot sound-related issues with the venue, making lighting suggestions, and even helping us find an excellent karaoke vendor for our after party. His personal style and the style of his DJ setup were sleek, cool, and a little retro, which only added to the wedding aesthetic. Most importantly, DJ D-Mac had an uncanny ability to read the dance floor and know which songs would keep people moving, seamlessly weaving together an eclectic dream mix of everything from '60s soul, disco, '90s R&B, and even Dolly Parton. I truly can't remember another time when I've danced so hard or so joyfully-- I had to briefly go outside to catch my breath after one particularly resplendent mix. A DJ can really make or break a wedding reception, and DJ D-Mac dazzled all of our friends and family-- many of them still mention how much fun they had dancing at our wedding more than a year later. I wish I could throw a hundred more events so I could hire DJ D-Mac to DJ-- or at least wish he could be at the helm of the turntables at every event I attend in the future.

24k Event Band was the first vendor we secured for our April 2022 wedding. Working with Robin to coordinate was seamless, she was always pleasant and helpful. As we got closer to the date we worked closely with Jill who went out of her way to understand our vision and musical preferences. Nearly all of our wedding guests commented on how wonderful the band was - seriously, even our parents were getting texts and calls about how great the band was! They had so much energy and kept everyone on the dance floor the entire night playing music across many genres (and decades!) 24k Event Band was worth every penny and I hope we can attend another wedding soon where they perform!

DJ Casanova Productions

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Essex, MD

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!

We loved our experience with DJ Eric at HB Productions! Despite the complexity of our venue having multiple different spaces that needed sound, he did an amazing job of setting up sound systems throughout the venue to ensure that our wedding day went smoothly! He had a perfect sound set up during our wedding ceremony with microphones available so that everyone could hear it despite it being outdoors. And during the dancing portion of our wedding, DJ Eric kept the energy up and kept our guests dancing!

Jon was highly recommended by our wedding planner (Lissa Marie Weddings and Events), and we immediately hired him after our initial meeting. It really says something when other vendors only have great things to say! He did such a wonderful job on our wedding day and really kepted everything flowing smoothly with no hiccups. Our ceremony sounds was absolutely perfect and the microphones were sooo easy to use and captured all the sound perfectly. Jon was great at making announcements, (even though it wasn't planned) like when he had to tell people to go to cocktail hour. We also had a photobooth package with him and the attendant did such a great job running the booth. It was definitely the most popular event and our families still raves about the pictures they took! From the moment we met Jon, he was just so easy to talk to and knew exactly what we wanted for the day when we shared our vision. Jon is so professional, supportive, and positive, and I can't imagine having someone else on our special day. He is definitely worth the money and I would hire him again without a doubt for any event!
