Bryan worked with us up until the wedding, checking-in and answering any questions we had in the year leading up. We chose the DJ package with lighting and then ended up adding on the strings for the ceremony & cocktail a few months later. Bryan provided planning documents that made it easy to share the vision for the vibe of our wedding. The strings were absolutely perfect and had a great modern collection. Our DJ on the day of the wedding was Ramses who was WONDERFUL! Guests raved about the music and his energy was immaculate. He did such a great job MC-ing without being too cheesy and kept everyone on the dance floor. The lighting made our room look even more beautiful! I would 100% recommend them to anyone!

He is fun, patient, inventive, supportive and more gifted, as both a teacher and a musician, than I will ever be able to appreciate. To my son, in turn, Piotr is incredibly cool and simply awesome. He knows that Piotr is a classical guitarist who grew up playing blistering rock and roll, and to hear the two of them rock out on whatever song suits my son's fancy at the moment -- or whatever song Piotr thinks is a good challenge -- delights this mom to no end. And then to hear my son noodling around on guitar in his spare time -- a hobby that brings him great joy -- well, let's just say that it's nice to never have to pester him to practice. I'm endlessly grateful to have such a huge talent working one-on-one with my son, and I look forward to seeing my son continue to evolve as a musician and expand his musical horizons -- no doubt eventually beyond rock. Thanks, Piotr!

From…read morestart to finish, Iman and his team did absolutely everything they could do to make the wedding planning process seamless and our wedding day exactly how we imagined. We were planning our wedding during the pandemic and things were constantly uncertain as to whether or not the wedding would be able go to on. Iman and DJ Kia had routine calls with us to check-in and offer advice. We knew we could trust their opinions and flexility during the uncertain times. On the day of the wedding, DJ Kia was so involved with every aspect of the ceremony and reception. He knew exactly what to do, when to do it, and how to make our wedding day an unforgettable experience. He literally orchestrated our ceremony processional and was making sure everything was running smoothly. Everyone felt at ease walking down the aisle because DJ Kia was there to send them off. We were lucky enough to have Iman MC our wedding, and believe us when we tell you he knows how to put on a show. The dance floor comes alive with Iman on stage and everyone was out of their seats and dancing the entire night. Our cocktail hour ended up going over schedule, which pushed back our reception. It was no worry though, because Iman was there to quickly restructure the timeline and ensure everything ran smoothly. Even with unexpected issues, we felt completely at ease knowing he had us covered. He is such a genuine person who truly cares about his client's happiness. We also used Night Owls for our video production and working with them was a truly pleasant experience. They captured every aspect of the wedding beautifully. In just a few short weeks, we had our trailer and wedding video created, both of which were edited to our liking. They were extremely patient with us throughout the process and the end result is videos we still can't stop watching! Thank you to Brandon and the team at Night Owls for all of their hard work. We also want to give a special thanks to Wake on the sax, Farzan on the drums, and Cyrus on the cello. These three gentleman made the music come alive and our guests could not stop raving about how talented they were. My wife and I still talk about just how great it was working with Exclusively Entertainment and we would absolutely recommend them for your events!

On any given day, you can find a diverse slate of performances and events, ranging from classical & opera, to jazz, dance. broadway & musicals, theater, country & bluegrass, comedy, popular programming, kids/family shows, films, variety, and special themed events...always an abundant lineup! I've been to the KC a fair share over the years and have attended all sorts of events here: orchestra performances by the National Symphony Orchestra, productions by the Washington National Opera, chamber music concerts on the Fortas Series, galas, festivals, indie shows, and community programs at the REACH. And each time I'm awed being at this cultural center in the Capitol city, which exhibits the highest caliber of artistic excellence in the nation and on the world stage. The building itself is huge and imposing, but there are helpful staff everywhere to answer questions and direct you where you go. Because the footprint is so big, if it's your first time visiting, definitely leave plenty of extra time to walk up to the building and find the right hall/entrance, pick up tickets, and get settled in your seats. For pre-concert dining, there are a couple of options on premises: the more formal Roof Terrace Restaurant, or the casual KC Café which has hot food as well as grab-n-go sandwiches and snacks. Both are located on the Terrace level above the Hall of Nations. Otherwise, there aren't many options super close by without venturing into Foggy Bottom. Tazza, and Kingbird at the Watergate Hotel or its lobby bar/restaurant Next Whisky Bar are the only outside options within a 10-minute walk. The only thing I don't love is, if you're taking a taxi/Uber, it's pretty crazy at the end of the night when everyone is leaving and you're all waiting for your car on the long and chaotic line in the taxi stand area. The Foggy Bottom-GWU metro station is about a 10-minute walk. (There are free shuttles between the metro stop and KC.) Oh and check out the back of the building which has a lovely promenade where you can stroll along the Potomac River! It's peaceful and scenic. Too bad the recent politicization of KC is casting a shadow over the institution, but it is not going anywhere, and my review speaks only to the many wonderful performances that have been put on there and the hard working staff who continue to produce the best season possible. To quote conductor Lidiya Yankovskaya's thoughtful and passionate op-ed in the Washington Post (which you ought to read in its entirety): "Art is no mere commodity, like a boycotted product sold by an exploitative corporation or an aggressor in a war. Art has the capacity to change minds, shift cultures, challenge assumptions. Choosing not to perform deprives artists and art of power, and it aids regimes that fear being culturally challenged. Choosing not to attend performances of content we support will only ensure that this content is not presented in the future." Wurd!

However, they did not send their list of 300 songs until I asked for it. They sent it via email and I replied back to that same email. The day of the event they did not recall that I had sent them a selection of 14 songs to play. I sent it to them via text right there and they pulled it up. They ended up only playing about 2 songs on the list and kept taking long pauses between songs they mostly chose themselves. It almost seemed like they did not want to play from the list I sent. They asked for requests but sometimes the guests did not have any but they continued to wait around. It was a little strange how many pauses there were. They did not play 14 songs at the end of it nor did they initiate taking a photo with the celebrants as stated in their initial email. My expectations were unfortunately not met.
