Can't tell you how pleased we were with MyDeejay. Van was easy to collaborate with, knows how to fit your music to the vibe of the event, and is also a very nice guy. Our guests had many compliments about his work at our wedding, and we absolutely felt the same. Thank you, Van! read more

We highly recommend MyDeejay for all of your DJ needs! Van Petty worked patiently with us through all of our - developing and ever-changing ideas to create a special playlist for our reception. From the jazzy, laidback feel of the cocktail hour, to the special Bridgerton soundtrack for dinner to the dance mix that kept our guests moving from beginning to end, everything was spot-on! By avoiding tired boomer hits in favor of modern dance pop mixed with some good ol' classic hip hop, he engaged not only the millennial guests of the bride and groom, but the aunts and uncles and other older friends and relatives. Van also served as a perfect MC to keep the party moving and was able to accommodate on the fly a salsa request by my brother (his wife is a salsa dance champ). All in all a 10/10! read more

We got married at The Belvedere on 10/12/2024 and worked with DJ Chuck. DJ Chuck absolutely exceeded our hopes & expectations & created a more perfect atmosphere than what we even had hoped for for our music. We admittedly had a notable list of must plays & "play if possible" songs, with some comments about certain parts of the song we wanted to get played or any specific announcements we wanted DJ Chuck to do with a certain song, and he got everything right, transitioned each song perfectly & maintained the integrity of each song, which is exactly what we wanted from our DJ (vs. a lot of remixing with quick transitions). The process of selecting MyDeeJay and using their online portal for our music selections was seamless & straightforward. Our dance floor didn't slow down once the whole night once dancing started, & our guests raved about how much fun they had. We are so appreciative of MyDeeJay and especially DJ Chuck for creating the perfect environment & vibe for our classic wedding of ~170 people. We wish we could relive our wedding over and over again!

DJ Jeff was AMAZING for our wedding at Whitehall! He truly went above and beyond, especially when our string trio had an issue playing for our ceremony... he saved the day. Jeff brought the energy and was so professional throughout the entire planning process. He kept the dance floor packed all night and took our must plays/do not plays seriously all while mixing in songs that fit the overall vibe. Cannot recommend Jeff and My Deejay enough - would definitely hire again! read more

I'm so glad I chose to work with Jeff from MyDeejay for my wedding. I'm incredibly picky about music and was nervous about getting it just right. Jeff made sure the dance floor was packed all night! He listened to what we wanted and delivered so much more than we imagined. He made sure we didn't have any generic music and made the night so special. We absolutely love MyDeejay and recommend them for any occasion, especially weddings! read more

Jeff was an amazing DJ for our wedding! He really brought the night together for everyone. He knew how to lead the wedding from start to finish and made sure the night went smoothly with tons of fun! Would highly recommend Jeff to any friends or family! Hoping we get the opportunity to work with Jeff / MyDeejay for another event in the future! read more

My DeeJay was was an amazing partner from Day 1. We were paired with Brian and could not have been happier! He listened to what we were looking for, took our ideas and helped guide us to what ended up being an incredible night. It was so easy to set up meetings with him along the planning process as well. We had music both during the cocktail hour, the beginning of the reception and eventually on the dance floor. Brian was able to read the room and match the energy to the song. Can't say enough good things! read more

DJ Brian Jones from Mydeejay was awesome! He was professional, fun, he listened to what we wanted and delivered. I couldn't imagine another DJ performing at our wedding. He made our wedding so much fun, memorable and magical. We love music and he definitely hit the mark for everything we needed and wanted. Everyone is still talking about how good the music was. Most people were dancing all night. My wife and I danced the whole time! We didn't leave the dance floor- thank you so much! I would recommend Brian and Mydeejay to anyone! Thank you so much! He also had all our music saved so now I can listen to it all the time and remember the great night! read more

If we could give Evan 11/10 stars or more, we would. He understood our vision (or lack thereof) and has some serious skill at curating a playlist based on your requests that will keep your guests dancing all night. He was professional yet fun to work with. He will not let your wedding down and will make it an enjoyable and memorable experience! You cannot go wrong by choosing MyDeeJay! read more

DJ Jeff did an amazing job at my wedding. I recommend him 100%. I changed the plan last minute and he was patient and accommodating. I thought I didn't need a DJ at my wedding, but he set the pace and the overall vibe of the party. I wish I had another event, so I can have another great dance party! I don't know why anyone would review this company anything less than 5 stars. They're very clear in communication and straight forward. I was weary about the price and it's definitely worth it and it's reasonable. It's a must for any wedding read more

Exceptional!!! DJ Tim Preston was the linchpin of our wedding celebration. Tim started off with a call with my fiancé and myself to understand what we were looking for regarding music, flow and setting. And, he did another check in the week before the big day to confirm details. On the day of, Tim kept everyone engaged, dancing, and having a blast throughout the evening. A second marriage for us, we had a large group of family, including our kids and their friends, along with a diverse group of friends (200 of them) which included many different cultures and a wide age group to keep happy. As evidenced by a full dancefloor throughout the night, Tim beautifully covered all bases. Our wedding occurred close to a month ago and our guests are still raving about the great time they had and how much fun they had dancing the night away. Thank you, DJ Tim Preston (and Nicole!), for ensuring that our celebration was everything and more than we planned for!!! We couldn't have been happier!! Oh, what a night!!! read more

We couldn't have been happier with our MyDeejay experience. From the first call with Jeff Furnas, we thought he was perfect! He understood our vibe and was very communicative in the months leading up to the wedding. He even mixed our first dance songs well before, probably about five months ahead of the wedding when I asked! Jeff truly went above and beyond for us. His equipment worked so well even though we had sound playing throughout a few separate rooms of the venue, and went to a separate room for the toasts. His vibe reading and announcing was personable and really picked up on the vibe of the night and the guests' energy. I couldn't recommend Jeff Furnas enough! read more

DJ Evan was absolutely the best - he totally understood what we were going for and nailed it. The dance floor was bumpin the whole night :)

Wish I could rate this team higher!!! This team was totally amazing from the start. We had DJ Brian and he was so incredible. He helped me iron out so many timing issues I had and was so responsive to all of my questions. He helped me create a perfect processional song and put together an awesome playlist for dinner. The reception was so much fun - everyone was dancing the whole night and people are still telling me how awesome he was! Absolutely book him immediately!! read more

We had an amazing experience working with Evan from MyDeeJay in October! He was professional, super easy to work with, and was truly interested in making our day special for us. I have never seen EVERYONE on the dance floor at a wedding! Seriously, after the parent dances, not a single person was sitting down and all of our guests were commenting about how great of a DJ he was. During our meeting with him, we told him our vibe and gave him only a few song suggestions and he nailed it! We had a blast all night. Personally, we liked how Evan doesn't try to be a crazy stand-up comedian. He's a chill guy, knows how to make people laugh, but doesn't make a big deal about being the MC. He was also very helpful before the wedding. We asked him to shorten our first dance song by removing the bridge and he sent over a version that we could practice our dance to. We would definitely recommend Evan or anyone from MyDeejay! read more

We cannot rave enough about Anthony from MyDeejay. My husband and I hired him for our Nov 10th wedding at the Daughters of the American Revolution in DC. We were so last minute with all of our requests and Anthony was kind, accommodating, professional, and patient with us. We gave him a list of our vision and he took it and made it his own in the best way possible. We would highly recommend MyDeejay and most specifically Anthony! Our guests are still raving about how good his energy was and how good his music choices were-from the 70s to the 80s to the 90s as well as current music, Anthony read the crowd and knew when to shake things up based on the mood and vibe of my very diverse set of guests. Our wedding would not have been the same without Anthony so thank you for making our wedding reception absolutely perfect. The customer service from both Anthony and the MyDeejay team was top notch, we will be highly recommending them for social events to our friends and colleagues. read more

MYDEEJAY - My daughter hired Van Petty for her May 7, 2022, wedding. The management was very professional and courteous to work with. I was disappointed when I found out that the wedding coordinator found my daughter upset in her bridal sweet because the DJ was not playing all the music from her playlist she created. The DJ was asked several times to stick to the playlist by the bride, the wedding coordinator and the lighting crew. Her goal was to keep the guests engaged on the dance floor. read more

We had an awesome experience working with MyDeejay for our wedding in August 2019. We had Evan Reitmeyer as our DJ and loved him. Both he and the other representatives from MyDeejay were consistently easy to communicate with. We gave DJ Evan some guidance on what we wanted ( a really fun nonstop, high energy dance party) and he came through with exactly what we wanted. We have had so many people tell us how much fun the dancing was. He was organized throughout the process and was able to easily make last-minute changes the day of when needed. We could tell he had a handle on everything throughout the event and was cool, calm and collected the whole time while keeping the party going. I highly recommend DJ Evan Reitmeyer and MyDeejay for your wedding! read more

I would highly recommend Mydeejay. They were very responsive and professional in getting things set up for the event and answered any questions I had. They also have an online planning system that I found to be super helpful. Brian was our DJ and he was absolutely phenomenal! Aside from being one of the nicest people ever, he made sure he played songs we really liked. He did a great job of reading the room and keeping the vibe upbeat and fun, which is exactly what we wanted. Our guests were raving all night about how wonderful he was and repeatedly said he was the best DJ they ever saw at a wedding. I would highly recommend! read more

We loved our experience with MyDeejay! They were super responsive, professional and very patient since I didn't really know what I was doing. Our DJ was Evan R and he was absolutely amazing. His voice is just made for this type of business! We truly enjoyed having him get the party started. We spoke with him multiple times over the phone. He reassured us he had everything handled, asked us specifics for what songs we'd like to hear. We didn't worry at all. He was awesome, thank you Evan and thank you MyDeeJay team!!! read more

The name sounds kind of bush-league, like pets.com. But I went to them for my wedding, and they -- specifically the highly recommended Michael Bell -- were the epitome of class. Michael worked with us closely from the start. He came all the way to DC to meet with us twice to go over our music tastes and the vibe we wanted to have at the wedding. He also made it clear that he wasn't one of the guys who talks too much or hijacks somebody else's show with a mic, which was class, once again. We didn't want our wedding to resemble a middle-school dance. He stuck to his word at the wedding and blended perfectly into the scene. If it resembled a middle-school dance, it's my fault because I requested "Wannabe" by the Spice Girls and "Lovefool" by The Cardigans. He didn't play everything we originally requested, but he knew how to respond to the mood of the party better than us. Trust him: He knows what he's doing. Mike used to (and might still) work at Clyde's on Thursdays, where he spun an eclectic mix for the drunken AU crowd. That's where I asked him out of the blue and he turned out to be the perfect choice. read more

Where to begin? My wedding was at the Hay Adams and when we locked down the venue we knew we had raised the expectations for everything related to our wedding. So I did my research and came back with MyDeejay based on the hundreds of glowing reviews. My initial communication was with Jennifer (Co-Owner) and she was incredibly helpful not only locking down a DJ (Brian) but also providing recommendations with other vendors for our wedding. I can't honestly remember if my wife went with their vendor recommendation but Jennifer was prompt with her response and always making sure we had all the information we needed. Now on to Brian Jones, He's Awesome as a professional and awesome to work with. My family and friends are hispanic so I wanted to get a DJ that would be in tune with the style of music we wanted (salsa, merengue, music from my home country Colombia) while also mixing with electronica / club and more mainstream styles. I also wanted someone who could pronounce our names correctly when introduced at the reception and he went above and beyond to make sure he got everything right. During the preparation phase we met twice, once in person to talk initial information and contract, he was very accommodating about time and place and made everything super easy for me. We were then given access to their online tools which include a massive database of music where you can choose from "Must Plays", "Play if possible", to "Do Not Play" songs and artists. We added some songs they didn't have in their Database but he got the music in time for the event. The second time we met we were able to make a video call via skype with him and completed the last items which was perfect because it was getting close to our wedding and we were really swamped with wedding related events and to-dos. On our wedding day, Brian was at the reception ready to go way in advance of the time we needed him, he positioned himself perfectly on the dance floor in order to let the guests enjoy the view from the Top of the hay and made sure he was impeccable in both performance and attire. He met us prior to the reception after the photos to double check the list of events, names, pronunciation and met with the wedding party before they walked in and made sure his pronunciation was on spot. During the reception the music was perfect, followed the crowds moods with just the right music, I think he took requests (which we allowed) and stayed within our guidelines. The bottom line is we had an AMAZING time, we are incredibly grateful to Brian for the work he did and MyDeejay for making the whole process just easy. I would definitely recommend to my friends (who had a blast) and will definitely use them in the future. Worth. Every. Penny read more

Several of my friends are professional photographers and as such they have strong opinions about the use of "party lights by DJs". One of the discussions was particularly about how these party lights ruin otherwise perfect wedding party pictures because of green dots on dresses, or other designs that detract. So when I went looking for a DJ I specifically was looking for one that I could have them skip the lights. We found MyDeeJay through a friend and had an excellent experience in booking. The pricing is clear on their website and their online system to pick music is easy to manage. We met once with Anthony (our DJ) to go over and sign the contract and we chatted with him over the phone about two weeks before the wedding to make sure everything was what we wanted and that he had everyone's name right. Some of the music we wanted was a little more obscure and he found about 6 versions of one song we really wanted. Based solely on my comments about the song he picked the right one, but sent it to me via email a few days before the big event to ensure it was the right version. He was incredibly professional. Shortly before procession into the reception, my best friend's little girl made friends with my niece (our flower girl) and they didn't want to separate. So I asked her to join the party and Anthony was able to announce her entrance with my flowergirl all at the last moment. He read the room right all night - there was ALWAYS a full dance floor and everyone had a great time. read more

MyDeejay is a great company to use for your wedding DJ. The planning process is super organized and the company is easy to communicate with. We personally had Anthony as our DJ and he is incredible! Anthony was super responsive and answered all of our questions along the way. He did both our ceremony and reception, both went perfectly! He did a great job making announcements and helping us move along the timeline smoothly. We had to reschedule our wedding due to COVID, Anthony and MyDeejay were flexible and helpful getting us set up with a new date. We were able to have an outdoor dance floor at our venue and Anthony did an awesome job taking all of our must play songs and reading the crowd to find the right music, even in the heat! Everyone all weekend told us how much fun they had and we know the music played a big part in that. We highly recommend Anthony from MyDeejay for your wedding!! He is the best! read more

We worked with Brian Jones, of MyDeeJay, and he was absolutely fantastic. He, without a doubt, made the party what it was. From the very beginning, Brian was amazing to work with. He was extremely professional during our introductory phone call - explaining his style, how he liked to work with couples, and his back-up plan in the event of unforseen illness or unavailability. (That was particularly important to us when we were hiring a specific person - and Brian's plan was comprehensive and perfect - not that it was necessary!) In particular, we loved Brian's philosophy of keeping the party moving without becoming the center of attention. Brian was fantastic to work with in the days leading up to the wedding. We filled out MyDeeJay's online form (which asked for songs we wanted to hear, and those we didn't want to hear) but Brian also set up a call where we were able to talk through everything, and make sure we were all on the same page. He was also very responsive in terms of making sure that there were adequate equipment for the ceremony, enough microphones for the readers and co-officiants, and that he was all set for the music cues. We also had a friend of ours who was singing a few songs, and he was great to work with to make sure that our friend had the equipment and tracks she needed. The day of itself was amazing! Brian was great at setting everything up, and then for the dancing itself, everything was just perfect. He was so good at reading the room, and making sure that everyone was up and dancing. He was one of the best DJs we had ever seen - and many of our guests said the same. He really made the party what it was. Brian was professional, competent, and so good at making the party rock. We couldn't have asked for anything more, and are so glad we hired him! read more

Everyone we worked with at MyDeeJay was fabulous. We started with one individual and were later switched to another DJ. Both Mike and Evan were friendly and really easy to work with. Evan ended up doing our wedding, and he was just a dream. He was extremely calm and helpful leading up to the day-of, accommodating various requests for a short live music performance we planned. Day-of, he was extremely professional and kind, helping to keep my brand-new husband and I on track with toasts, making last minute changes to fit our photographers' schedules, and playing music that kept all our guests dancing until closing time. read more

Chuck was the best DJ we could have asked for for our wedding. He was so easy to talk to during plan, understood exactly the vibe we were going for, was prompt and professional day-of and most importantly kept the party going! Our guests loved him so much and he really helped us have a fantastic wedding. Would recommend to anyone! read more

Brian is a Rockstar! His song selection, professionalism, technical abilities and preparedness are everything you could ask for in a DJ and more. He played what we wanted, didn't play what we didn't want, and rocked the dance floor all night long. But what I didn't understand until I went through this process is how important it is to have someone on your team that you can rely on 100%. There is A LOT going on that day and it's damn stressful. Until you've been through this, it might be easy to underestimate the value of removing even a bit of this stress. Not only did we not have to worry about Brian at any point, but every time we needed him to help facilitate anything, he was right there making it happen. We really can't say enough positive things about our experience with Brian! read more

I had actually met DJ Van Petty at a wedding expo which is how I heard of MyDeejay so I was thrilled when we were paired with him for our wedding. After getting to talk further with Van Petty via Skype, I felt even more confident that he understood how important I felt about having a good dance party vibe at the reception. As a bride, we get bogged down with the details, but as a frequent wedding quest, the thing I always remember most is how much I danced and if the music was good so I wanted to ensure the our guests would WANT to dance and not just feel obliged. The system he used to select songs was easy and communicating with him in the days prior was a breeze. He made sure he knew ever detail to make our reception as smooth as it could be. He even pronounced my new last name correctly! We received SO many compliments about him and even my parents, who were pushing for a band, admitted he was the right choice. I would highly recommend DJ Van Petty and MyDeejay to anyone in the Maryland/DC/Virginia area!! read more

MyDeeJay came recommend to my fiancé and I via my sister who had previously booked them for an upcoming wedding. After her glowing remarks and the great reviews read online, we figured we had to give them a try. At first, it seemed too good to be true, but we went with it. We first spoke with the VP, Jennifer (the owner's wife) and discussed the details of the wedding (venue, dates/time, guests etc...). They then put us in contact with a local DJ who seemed to fit our needs. We met up with Anthony and further went over the details of our wedding wants and wishes. Anthony was great, professional and willing to go above and beyond for what we wanted for our wedding day. With our venue being quite large, we wanted to ensure their equipment would be sufficient. Anthony stressed the high caliber equipment they used and since they don't charge for additional speakers, he would bring an extra subwoofer and pair of speakers to ensure quality sound. Unfortunately that was the end of the 'too good to be true' thoughts as it went downhill quickly. Anthony provided us a contract with price in which we had 2 weeks to sign and return. The next morning we get an email that states MyDeeJay is now going to charge us two times the original price. In the email it stated since our guest count was higher than 'normal' they would need to bring a second DJ, thus requiring the second cost of a DJ. Since when does running a Macbook through 5 vs 3 speakers require two DJ's? We immediately called Anthony to discuss and he was very vague and stated we needed to call Evan the owner. My discussion with Evan disproved any theory that the customer is even remotely right. Even though Evan admits both his employees, one being his wife, failed to inform us of the additional charges for a wedding over 250 guests, the only responsibility they took was to pass the additional charge directly onto us. They want to charge us $3500 to have a second DJ at our wedding for six hours. Since Evan stated they don't employ 'Roadies', the expertise needed in transportation/set-up/take down was worth an additional $1750. While very apologetic, at no point did anyone in the company come to us saying; 'I'm sorry we messed up. Since we realize it was our mistake, we would like to work with you on a price'. It's obvious to us their business is doing so well that losing a customer to their 100% error is fine with them and not worth making any attempt to resolve. While my fiancé and I have to laugh this one off, it astounds us that someone can run a business this way. Yes their website states that pricing is for up to 250 guests and if more please call for details. We did place that call, met with their DJ and thought we could move on planning additional details of our wedding. Then come to find out 2 employees of their business make an error and the additional price is outlandish. We would have never wasted our valuable time if they would have been up front and honest with us, as we were with them. While they have a great product to offer and even provide what to look for and watch out for in using a DJ, they don't stand behind their word or even their own literature "What to Avoid When Hiring a Wedding DJ' - 'Distraction and Misleading', 'Up-Selling and Add-Ons' and 'Double Dipping - When a DJ charges you for additional equipment'. read more

Our DJ, Anthony, was absolutely fantastic. He was able to accommodate all of our requests, and also played songs that fit in well with our requests that everyone enjoyed. During the planning process he was always easy to get hold of and was professional and friendly at all times. Their pricing was very reasonable and well worth the money for the service we got. I would recommend MyDeeJay (especially Anthony) to anyone in a heartbeat. read more

We were beyond happy with our experience. We used MyDeejay for our wedding, and they paired us with Van Petty. He was AH-MAZ-ING!!! He is professional, personable, and really knows his music (as a musician himself). We had so many last minute changes, but Van made all the changes (without complaint) and everything went perfectly. The service they provide goes far beyond someone who plays music at your wedding; the entire flow of the wedding/sequence of events is taken care of by the DJ. He notified our photographer before anything was announced, so she could be there to shoot all the significant events throughout the night. He also reached out to each person before anything was announced to ensure they were ready. We were in such good hands, and we feel so blessed to have had Van/MyDeejay to make our special day go so smoothly. Highly recommend Van Petty and MyDeejay!! read more

We are so happy we chose MyDeejay for our wedding at Four Seasons Hotel in Washington, DC. When we met with Evan (owner of the company and he was the DJ for our event) for the interview/selection process, we immediately felt comfortable with him. The cost was very reasonable and they were professionals from start to finish. He handled the audio and music for our ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner reception. We received countless positive comments about the music--everyone was on the dance floor!--and Evan. You can't go wrong selecting MyDeejay. read more

Absolutely amazing service!!! Evan was our DJ at Kent Manor for an event on 8/3/12 and he was able to make our evening great with perfectly timed transitions and a fantastic feel for the moment. He knew what songs to play and when to play them. Also for the outdoor ceremony he was able to accommodate various singers, an acoustic guitar amped, and mics for the pastor, without a single glitch. No feedback no reverb and everyone could hear what was going on. This is very hard to do but he made it look easy. The mydeejay website was also very easy to use and actually helped us plan the wedding. Everything was thought out and logical. All of our music requests were used and the announcements of the wedding party and speeches were done flawlessly. I felt like we received personalized service every step of the way including a hand written note after the event. Without a doubt I would recommend them to anyone. I feel like we got our money's worth and more! read more

Michael bell was our DJ last weekend at our wedding and he was beyond fantastic. Mike met with us multiple times before the event, always at a bar or restaurant of our choosing in the DC area, to review our requests and get a feel for the kind of vibe we wanted to have at our event. Our guidance was minimal at best, the only objective we had was for the reception to be fun and for the dance floor to be full and hoppin! Mike exceeded all expectations, could not recommend him more! read more

DJ Evan was the perfect choice! He is so cool and easygoing you will want to hang out for drinks or something with him lol. He is extremely attentive to customers wants and needs chiming in with perfect ideas and suggestions. All of our guests absolutely raved about the music, even the music he played during dinner. His love of music shines through and gets you excited about your event because he is. We wanted our reception to feel like an old school dance party from the 90s and he delivered! We would definitely use MyDeeJay and Evan again. read more

I haven't even had my wedding yet and these guys are already my favorite vendor. They are totally responsive (like IMMEDIATELY responsive), friendly, accommodating, and reasonable. I wish they ran the entire wedding industry in the DC metropolitan area. We brides would have a lot less to worry about. I can't wait to see what hot grooves Evan spins up next June!!! read more

We were so pleased with the MyDeejay experience. DJ Brian Jones very responsive initially when we were "shopping around" for music. Once everything was confirmed, Brian was on hand to provide general guidance and field frantic questions and requests. Brian was very professional and made the experience easy, fun, and low-stress. All our needs were met and I would recommend MyDeejay to anyone without hesitation. read more

Anthony Simpson was the DJ at my wedding to Jared on July 5, 2019. He did a great job - we could not have been happier with the feedback from our guests. The entire process of working with MyDeejay and Anthony was also a real pleasure. Anthony was easy to hire, and very nice to communicate with. He had a portfolio of songs to guide us through so many options and he answered all our questions quickly and fully. Once we hired him, MyDeejay sent us an online form that guided us through the process, including payment deadlines. Anthony also visited us at home just before the wedding to discuss last minute details of the day. He was very sweet, sending us a bunch of suggestions to fill our diverse set of needs (Jewish songs, Brazilian Bossa Nova, 80'90'00..) . And everything worked incredibly smoothly on our wedding day, with the plan executed flawlessly. Anthony was also our emcee, introducing us, our family, friends doing toasts and all event portions. He was superfast too, informing us he will provide us a well organized playlist of all the songs, so we can listen to our event over and over. In short, Anthony was a rock star! We will definitely recommend him very highly for anyone looking for a fabulous DJ and emcee. read more

When my now-husband and I started wedding planning, we agreed that having a great DJ was one of our highest priorities. We are so grateful to have found MyDeejay, specifically DJ Anthony. We could not have had a better experience with the company. From start to finish, MyDeejay was extremely professional and easy to work with. We were initially drawn to their excellent reviews and their philosophy: their business model is transparent (no hidden upcharges) and their DJs aren't gimmicky emcees trying to hog the spotlight. In our initial phone call, Anthony was clear that our wedding guests would know why they were there -- to celebrate our marriage! -- and that his job as the DJ would be to keep the dance floor packed and the evening moving along smoothly, without being cheesy or dragging people onto the dance floor. He asked a number of great questions about our musical tastes and the age demographics of our guests, which really impressed us. Ultimately, your wedding is a party for all your guests, so we appreciated him getting a read on the age groups that would be represented in advance so he could play music that would appeal to all different generations. In the lead-up to the wedding, MyDeejay sent us a link to their planning system, which is super convenient and allows you to specify your timeline and all your song choices for key moments (parent-child dances, bouquet toss, last dance, etc.). We could also enter a "definitely play," "maybe play," and "do not play" list, which was great. We kept our requests fairly minimal, since we trusted Anthony to read the crowd, but it was helpful to get our few song requests in before the big day. More importantly, it was helpful to specify the type of music we *didn't* want played (i.e., cheesy line dances and songs that we really didn't like or found offensive). Anthony was also super awesome when it came to editing a few key songs, including our first dance, which we wanted to trim from ~4 minutes to ~2 minutes. We gave him a very specific list of edits, because we wanted to keep key parts of the song while cutting sections out of the middle, and we were blown away by how natural his edit sounded -- it was perfect, not choppy or awkward-sounding at all. Most importantly, on our wedding day, Anthony absolutely killed it. He nailed every cue, was an elegant and professional emcee when it came to wedding party intros and announcements of key events like the bouquet toss, and kept the dance floor packed all night. He even offered to bring us drinks, which was extremely nice of him. We got a huge number of compliments on how awesome the dance party was and how great Anthony was. He truly knocked it out of the park and we were beyond thrilled, as were our parents. Anthony, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making our wedding the best night of our lives! To the engaged couples out there -- we cannot recommend Anthony and MyDeejay more highly. read more
