We're proud to be one of the top Washington DC wedding DJ services. Let's start planning the perfect party for you and your guests.
Boogie down, DC!
We throw awesome parties
Every wedding vendor has an important part to play in your special day. But we think the DJ may be most important of all.
Maybe we're biased, but hear us out.
If the flowers are a little limp, the wedding can still be a hit. If the food is so-so, most guests will forget after a glass of champagne or two. But if the DJ can't hack it? We're talking missed introductions, late music cues, and an empty dance floor. People could even leave the reception early!
No need to worry about any of that with Maryland's DJ. Our team of professional Washington DC wedding DJs brings years of industry experience and a love for love to each special event.
Working with Maryland’s DJ
If you work with us, you'll be paired up with the right member of our team to run the booth, stick to the timeline, and serve as Master of Ceremonies. With our top-notch sound systems, the music will ring crisp and clear from ceremony to wedding reception.
But before a single guest even arrives, you'll have access to your DJ all throughout the planning process, with as many planning sessions as you need to work out the details of your wedding day. Our DJs can help you to make music choices, advise on the timeline, and offer any other advice you need to create the perfect wedding.
Whether you're getting married at the stately Carnegie Institution for Science or the modern District Winery with its stunning views of the Anacostia River, you can leave the event entertainment in our hands for your DC wedding.
Ready to chat? Fill out our quick online form, and we can get the ball rolling on your Washington DC wedding. After we've heard from you, we'll schedule a call or meeting to have a preliminary chat, and you can come down to our studio for a live demo to see what we can do!
Planning a company soiree? Corporate fundraiser? Holiday bash?
Wow the crowd (and your boss) with event entertainment from Maryland's DJ! We understand that businesses in The District span from hip and innovative to more conservative. So we'll work with you during the event planning to make sure we're in alignment with your company vision and values. And we'll work with your budget to design a special event that speaks to your corporate culture and voice.
Come party time, we'll play a mix of music to keep the dance floor hopping. But that's not all. We also offer custom lighting design that highlights your event space, and photo booths where your guests can let loose and create a one-of-a-kind souvenir.
Schedule an initial consultation with our team, so we can get your date reserved and start the planning process!
Turn your event space or wedding venue into a work of art with uplighting and intelligent lighting!
Uplighting creates a wash of colored or white light throughout your event space. It can be used to create ambiance and accentuate interesting architectural or visual features of a ballroom or hall. And by changing the colors of the uplighting throughout the evening, it can drastically alter the feel of the room from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception.
We also offer “Intelligent Lighting” — a pre-programmed LED light show that can be used for a variety of purposes, like:
- Building a soft glow for your first dance
- Designating a focal point for toasts, entrances, and special dances
- Creating more illumination for the photographer and videographer to capture your special day
- Using color and strobes to bring motion and energy to the dance floor
Intelligent lighting and uplighting will bring heightened sophistication and vitality to your special event or wedding reception!
Make your special event interactive by bringing photo booths into the mix! No need to add another wedding vendor -- just add a photo booth rental to your DJ contract for an easy and fun way to get your guests involved in your special event.
Our Washington DC wedding DJs will bring the booth and get it all set up for you, with the backdrop of your choosing. If you're looking for something unique, let us know! We've been known to design a custom photo booth backdrop in the past...
Props are included in the rental, or you can supply your own to fit in with your event theme. We can also add a digital overlay to your photos with a date, initials, event name, or logo! It's the perfect way to create a custom keepsake that your party guests or staff can save and repost to social media.
Our state-of-the-art photo booths have touchless technology, with a display that awakens when it senses motion. To get their photos, guests can simply scan the QR code with their smartphones for an instant download.
