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!!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Daryle (DJ D Mac) created the exact vibe we were craving for our wedding. After multiple postponements due to COVID, our guests were ready to dance and celebrate like never before. We asked Daryle to create a dance-club-like atmosphere where everyone could let loose—and he absolutely delivered. Every time we asked our guests what they thought of the wedding, they raved about how incredibly fun the dance floor was. From start to finish, Daryle was organized, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. His deep understanding of mixing music and his uncanny ability to read the room and adjust to the energy were particularly impressive. We also had a few unique requests, like including a drag queen lip sync performance. Daryle coordinated seamlessly with our performer, making it a highlight of the night. He also went above and beyond to ensure our first dances were perfectly timed and elegantly handled. If you’re looking for a DJ who will elevate your event, we couldn’t recommend DJ D Mac more highly. He made our wedding unforgettable, and we’re so grateful for his talent and professionalism.

It is our goal to make certain we meet your expectations and will work with you to create your vision in every way.

Recent news: 24k is proud to have been chosen as the entertainment for the National Women's Art Museum in October!

We hired 24K Event Band for our long-postponed COVID wedding this March (2022). They were phenomenal in every way. From the very beginning, Jill, the band leader, made the experience very easy. She was incredibly responsive and helpful. She guided us through the process, asked all the right questions and helped us think of things we certainly hadn't thought of ourselves. The band learned two custom songs for us, one for our first dance and another for the mother/son dance. They CRUSHED the songs! Absolutely amazing. Overall the entire experiences was beyond my wildest dreams. Everyone at the wedding was amazed by the talent and energy of the band. We loved all of the vendors we worked with to make our night special, but 24K Event Band went above and beyond and really made the night come together. I would highly, highly recommend them. Great energy, great enthusiasm, amazing to work with, and incredible talent.

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.

Free Spirit 

5.0

Washington, DC
  • Band/dj

Free Spirit is the number one choice in the Washington DC and Baltimore areas for dance music, with a wide variety of tunes designed to keep your feet moving. The key to a memorable wedding reception, corporate party, fundraiser, or political event, is a band that brings a high-energy, customized set list, with great visual effects and crowd interaction.

WOW - booking Free Spirit was the best decision we made for our wedding day, besides getting married :). Their talent was unparalleled, and we had countless guests comment that this was the best wedding band that they had ever seen and and asking "who is this band and how did you find them?!" One friend even asked if we thought that they would fly out to Spain for her upcoming wedding! Their set list was a mix of great oldies (still smiling when we watch back videos of their cover of "Best of My Love" with all of our guests on the dance floor - truly phenomenal) and 2000s/pop songs. People literally didn't budge off of the dance floor for 3 hours. All this, and their pricing was incredibly reasonable, especially for bringing all of the vocalists, horn players, etc that they did. We cannot recommend Free Spirit highly enough; you will NOT be disappointed.

Nightsong 

5.0

Washington, DC
  • Band/dj

Electrifying, riveting, simply on fire! These are just a few quotes from reviews of Nightsong, one of the hottest and most well-respected dance bands in the country. With past and present satisfied clients such as the International Monetary Fund, The NFL, Marriott Intl., Frito Lay, The Preakness (to name a few), and countless weddings/private events in the DC/Baltimore area and beyond, Nightsong has become the "go-to" for clients and event planners seeking high energy, world-class musicianship, and a level of professionalism that puts events "over the top!

Nightsong made our wedding absolutely perfect! In a call with the band leader, Bennett (who is the nicest person ever), I gave the direction that I want to party all night and give our guests a reason to not sit down. Boy, did Nightsong deliver!! 3 days later and my calves still hurt from dancing so much, and we have the best pictures of the dance floor being PACKED the entire night. The singers were amazing and the guitarist was unreal (he even did a guitar solo at the end that everyone was raving about). I even have some friends getting married end of next year who may be booking because they loved the band so much!! Cannot recommend them enough- seriously, just book them, you will be thankful you did.
