For an event that's uniquely "you"!
Let's Party, Crabtown!
Maryland's DJ provides wedding DJs for Annapolis and the bay venues around it. Your DJ plays the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception, serves as MC, and can add uplighting and a photo booth. We have played the Annapolis Maritime Museum, Historic London Town and Gardens, the Annapolis Waterfront Hotel and Chesapeake Bay Beach Club.
We start with your preferences and favorites, creating a playlist that reflects your unique vision. Then, we take further cues from your family and friends, tweaking the music and creating a light show that will wow the crowd. From the booking to the planning to the big day itself, our Annapolis wedding DJs will support you and make the process easy.

We throw awesome parties
Your wedding day should be full of smooches, happy tears, and dancing — not chasing vendors around or stressing about a timeline.
The professional wedding DJs with Maryland's DJ bring their all to your special day to ensure that you get all the fun and none of the fuss. The experts on our roster have in-depth knowledge of musical styles and genres. They are adept at handling a crowd, adjusting the playlist based on your guest's responses and preferences. Plus, they're talented Masters of Ceremonies, guiding the event based on your timeline and providing all the introductions and announcements you request.
But even though we're confident in our skills, we want you to be 100% comfortable with your DJ choice. So before you sign a single piece of paper, we'll schedule an initial consultation meeting or call so we can get to know each other. And after you're matched up with the perfect DJ, you can come to our studio to get a live demo.
Whether you're designing a nautical waterfront bash at the Annapolis Maritime Museum, or a garden fête on the grounds of the William Paca House, we'll make sure you have an amazing wedding in Annapolis or Arundel County.

We're more than just wedding DJs! Our team of experts has done it all, including high-end corporate events.
We understand that each company has its own unique culture, and that no two business events will be the same. What works for a hip tech startup may not be appropriate for a historic law firm!
That's why we work with our corporate clients to understand their values and style. The entertainment at your festivities will reflect the people and brand that makes your business a success.
Our DJs will keep track of the timeline, helping to keep the event flowing smoothly. And they'll be on hand with professional equipment, including lapel or handheld mics, for your speeches of thanks and inspiration.
With optional add-ons like a photo booth or customizable lighting, Maryland's DJ can upgrade your special event from "just another dinner" to a memorable entertainment experience.

Looking to take your party to the next level? It's easy with uplighting and intelligent lighting from Maryland's DJ!
The right lighting makes a statement as soon as your guests enter the event venue. And with pre-programmed intelligent lighting, you can switch that statement up all night long.
Uplighting provides a wash of light and color up the walls and toward the ceiling of your event or wedding venue. It can be used to draw attention to interesting features of the room, or to highlight spaces like the head table or photo booth.
With uplighting, we can turn a simple, blank canvas into something remarkable!
Intelligent lighting goes a step further. Programmed LED lights react at the touch of a button, creating an energetic light show on the dance floor to bring a club-like vibe to your venue. These lights can also become brighter or dimmer, encouraging people to focus on one specific area — like a couple's grand entrance or first dance.
With a custom lighting plan from Maryland's DJ, we can take a single space from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception, and anything in between.
A photo booth picture is worth a thousand iPhone selfies. Isn't that how the saying goes?
Adding a photo booth to your party is a fun and affordable way to get your guests involved. There is bound to be some downtime during your event. Give your guests a way to amuse themselves in between acts!
A photo booth can be customized to fit in perfectly with your theme or aesthetic. Choose from one of our many backdrop options to set the stage for your pictures. Or, you can create your own bespoke backdrop for something totally YOU! We can also add a custom digital overlay on your photo booth images. It could include the date, names of the couple, company logo, or even a funny catchphrase.
With props to play with, your employees or guests can let their hair down and show off their silly side.
Our touchless booth comes alive when it senses motion, ready to snap away. And guests can download their photos in an instant by scanning the QR code. Then their pictures will be right on their phones, ready to share on Facebook or Instagram!
