We used LUV’D UP DJ’s for our wedding and had a great experience start to finish! They made the process fun and stress free! They were very responsive and friendly. Our DJ Kelton was awesome and really helped set the tone. He played all the music we requested and supplemented with great additions per our request. Many of our guests commented on how great he was and how on point the music was, we could not agree more! People were on the dance floor from the first song to the last! I think our pictures speak volumes! You can almost hear the music in the photos. We had a blast, thanks for keeping the party moving LUV’D UP!

I will recommend JVMMS Events/OneManJamz every single time someone needs a DJ. It was our absolute pleasure to work with Jeremy for our wedding day and I don’t know how, but we’re going to find a reason to work with him again as soon as we can. From our very first meeting, Jeremy was so personable, with clear, confident, and detailed communication that put us at ease (and as an anxious bride I needed this big time). Jeremy went above and beyond, answering countless questions to help ease my pre-wedding anxiety, and made sure that every song we specifically requested (i.e., ceremony, introduction, first dance, etc) and executed them flawlessly. Let me TELL YOU, the reception music? I swear to you, I looked to Jeremy, my husband, and several guests at least 100 times throughout the night and expressed some form of “I CANT BELIEVE HOW GOOD THIS IS” I mean the way this man mixed popular, fun songs together that I would not have expected to work so magically….. I was hoping for most of our guests to dance all night but I was shocked at how many people (young and old) were on the dance floor all night long. It was our dream come true, honestly. I’m still shaken, and we got married almost 5 weeks ago. We are incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Jeremy and for his part in making our best day truly unforgettable.

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.

24k Event Band

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $7,500

24k Event Band is THE DMV's ultimate entertainment experience. Quick to respond, flexible, personable, with outstanding vocals, musicians and leadership, your party will be the one to beat. 24k is a premium experience from the first call to the very end. It is our goal to make certain we meet your expectations and will work with you to create your vision in every way. I couldn't be more proud to share this band with the DMV, and I know you will be as thrilled as I am, from the first organizing steps to the last note! Recent news: 24k is proud to have been chosen as the entertainment for the National Women's Art Museum in October!

The energy, showmanship, hype, and FUN that 24K Event Band brought to our wedding reception was OUT OF THIS WORLD. I can't even count how many guests have told us, weeks and months after our wedding, how incredible they were. Our dance floor was packed all night long, and when the band was on their (well-deserved) break, Korey stayed out and led the crowd in the Cupid Shuffle!! When I think about what made our wedding day so special, I think about 24K. Maybe I'm still riding the wave of emotions that comes with planning a wedding, but I could cry thinking about how joyful our reception was because of 24K's musical magic. Each and every member of the band was kind, friendly, and excited to be there, which created an energy that circulated throughout the room. We cannot thank 24K enough for all that they did for us. Please, please hire them if you want to have the wedding of your dreams!

Kelton was wonderful to work with from start to finish. He stuck with us even when we had to postpone our wedding for two years due to the pandemic, so we really appreciated his commitment to working with us. Kelton has a great system for figuring out your taste, priorities, and run of show. He set up very quickly at our venue, which was key given we were running on a tight schedule, and he managed to produce nice sound in a very cavernous space (no idea how!). He kept us running on time and made all transitions seamless. His music perfectly matched the vibe we wanted, starting with a relaxed cocktail hour and dinner, and gradually increasing the tempo into a full-scale dance party as the night went on. And our friends and family had an absolute blast! He had everyone from 20 somethings to family in their 60s and 70s dancing until the very end! We got so many positive messages the next day, including one person who described our DJ as being "on fleek."

We had a wonderful time working with Lucy Black Entertainment. They were very accommodating as we kept making changes to our music preferences. We worked with DJ Tezrah, who kept everyone on the dance floor all night long. So many people complicated us on having amazing music - and it was all Tezrah! We really appreciated how easy it was to communicate with the staff. They also had a bunch of suggestions when we were struggling to figure out how to move forward with various music ideas, and that really helped us flesh out our own vision. I would definitely recommend working with them!

I grew up dancing to R&B and Rock & Roll, and singing beautiful and soulful Jewish songs. Our outstanding musical magicians perform upbeat, vibrant and spirit filled dance music with a warm, romantic feeling. One of our clients wrote, "I must tell you that we were still receiving plaudits about our party and your music. We have received numerous written notes, e-mails, telephone calls, each one using every available superlative to describe our guests' responses to your outstanding performance and the stirring renditions of each song." That's the flavor Lox & Vodka will bring to your celebration.

Omg—our DJ was AMAZING! He understood the assignment and delivered beyond our expectations. Even though he asked for our input and allowed us to create our own playlist for the reception, we also gave him the freedom to do his thing—and he absolutely crushed it. From the perfect timing of the music to hyping up the crowd, every moment flowed with energy and fun. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Our communication from day one was incredible. Just let him know that we needed to discuss some things and he immediately made it happen. Very easy to work with. Huge kudos to you and your team for making the night unforgettable!
