We would highly recommend Brian to DJ your wedding! While we were planning, he was very easy to work with, and helped us articulate and envision what we wanted our wedding to be like - and during the event he was phenomenal. One of our biggests anxieties was that not too many people would be dancing, but he had a great mix of songs that appealed to the entire cross section of our guests - the dance floor was packed the whole night. 11/10 would highly recommend!

Highly recommend Jeremy to anyone looking for a DJ! He was easy to work with and sent over an extensive questionnaire to fill out. We were able to create Spotify playlists and include them in the questionnaire for easy referencing of our preferred music tastes. The music is what I was most worried about during wedding planning as I didn’t want to play typical wedding music, but Jeremy came through and played all our favorite songs and more, and even complimented our indie music taste! Transitions were smooth and announcements weren’t over the top. As introverts, he also made sure we were comfortable and made sure not to prolong our first dance any longer than we wanted.

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 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.

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.

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Washington, DC

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 awesome! My husband and I are very picky when it comes to music, and decided to make our own playlists for our wedding reception. He was so great and was totally on board with playing our pre made playlists. He was so helpful throughout the process and was also so responsive prior to the reception via phone and email. He made sure to speak with us via FaceTime to formally meet us and go over name pronunciations since he also introduced all the big moments of the reception. He also made sure to check in with us throughout the reception to make sure the music and sound quality were to our liking. We were so pleased with him as our DJ! He is kind, professional, and talented! If you are getting married, we highly recommend DJ Casanova!!
