About Kelton Higgins
Kelton Higgins
Kelton Higgins is a multi-award-winning DJ based in Washington, DC and Brooklyn, NY. Flawless mixing and a vast knowledge of music combined with exceptional planning and organizational skills ensures each event is a tailored experience. Specializing in weddings (ceremony, cocktails & receptions) and private event entertainment you can be assured your working with one of the absolute best. If you need a DJ who can play ANYTHING and EVERYTHING you want - then Kelton is the one for you.
Personality and experience set me apart. There aren’t a lot of people out there with the necessary combination of creativity and responsibility to be a great private event DJ. A lot of “real DJs” are just plain rude, and most “wedding DJs” will not push the envelope beyond the lowest common denominator. I occupy that rare middle ground where I can take the lead or take requests, play for young and old, pop or niche audiences and keep everybody dancing. I also find myself grooving along in the DJ booth and having as much fun as the guests, which tends to be infectious.

10/10!
Kelton came highly recommended by our friends, whose wedding he’d DJ’d a few years prior, and we can see why! Everything about working with Kelton was wonderful! Our number one criteria in selecting a DJ was finding someone who didn’t have creepy “morning radio” vibes (you know the type), and we were relieved during our first call with Kelton that he was super nice and professional! His instructions for how to send him our music picks were clear, and as it came closer to the ceremony, we felt at ease talking through various options depending on the weather for our outdoor ceremony. We were lucky to have great weather, so Kelton set up a single, area microphone at the altar, which beautifully picked up both of our and our officiant’s voices—no annoying lapel mics needed! The sound set-up for our outdoor cocktail hour was perfect, too! He was great at being flexible and reassuring when things got slightly off schedule, and adjusted on the fly so the guests were none the wiser. During our reception, Kelton did a wonderful job keeping things moving and had a great feel for what songs the crowd was feeling to keep people dancing all night long!
Kelton is Amazing!
Kelton was amazing! We had Kelton as our wedding DJ, and he was perfect. We wouldn’t have changed a thing. He perfectly read the dance floor and played the exact right song to keep energy high, and our dance floor was a hit the whole night. He was also incredibly easy to work with. He has to be the most well-organized and on top of it DJ anywhere. He even took the lead coordinating with the other vendors and making sure everyone was on the same page for the wedding’s schedule. We wanted to do a few non-traditional things for our ceremony (e.g., cut the processional and recessional), and he didn’t miss a beat – his announcements kept things running smoothly and made everything feel natural. One of the best choices we made for our wedding. Thank you Kelton!
Unforgettable Wedding Beats
We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ on our wedding day! From the very beginning, Kelton's professionalism and warm personality set the tone for an unforgettable celebration. He masterfully curated a playlist that blended our favorite songs with crowd-pleasing hits, ensuring every moment—from the first dance to the final song—was filled with joy and energy. In every sense, he played an integral role in making our special day truly magical. We are incredibly grateful for his dedication and talent, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to elevate their event with exceptional music and an infectious vibe!
Wonderful DJ to work with!
