PLEASE READ, ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE PLANNING EVENTS INCLUDING YOUTH!…read more Crushing Colonialism, a nonprofit based in DC, used Washington Talent Agency (WTA) for two nights full of major international hybrid in-person and livestream events in May and June 2025. They made promises they couldn't keep and the quality of work was awful. They were horrendous at communication. The worst incident that occurred was p0rn being played by some hateful viewers during our live stream because they didn't follow our instructions to deny mic, camera, and chat access for viewers. The person we originally spoke with, Sam, seemed incredibly friendly and excited to support our organization. He said that they could do the work that we required and they worked with our very limited budget. We were so excited to move forward with WTA. We hired them to do photography, videography, and hybrid/live-streaming during two nights of international events. We had many higher level needs that were clearly expressed to them in numerous meetings, emails, and contracts, which included zooming in a couple or speakers, spotlighting ASL interpreters in the live stream, playing films in the zoom livestream as opposed to a camera fixed on the screen in the theater, and ensuring that viewers were easily able to access our language interpreters. They did almost none of this. They were also supposed to give us a high-quality video copy of the events and they didn't. We had to spend a great deal on an editor who could only correct so much. There were plans to use some of the footage for a documentary and WTA knew that. Their volume settings were incorrect in the zoom so people watching the zoom weren't able to hear things properly at the higher quality the in-person audience experienced. The photographer was pretty good, but there were so many photos that weren't taken during one night of performances. Our organization and the communities we serve have been denied an important part of our archival efforts to preserve our culture. The person assigned to our event wouldn't respond to anyone's emails or phone calls, including our language coordinator, who said that the primary reason we had so many problems with language access during the event was because WTA wouldn't respond to emails. As a result, the required coordination between all parties didn't occur. BUT THE WORST is that they didn't set the zoom link to private for the viewing public, despite being told repeatedly that they had to do this for fear of hate speech or other inappropriate and harmful actions occurring. Well, that happened, including people playing p0rn in the livestream. Our events included youth. No one at WTA had the decency to contact anyone at the organization after this happened. I had to contact Sam and tell him everything that went wrong, including his person making some rude and unprofessional comments about our event, including that he told others at WTA to not accept our event. I asked for a 50% refund, which frankly we should've been given a full refund since they didn't meet their contractual obligation and caused significant harm to online event viewers and our organization's reputation. But Sam refused to even ask his boss. Not only did they rip us off and mistreat us, but we're still heartbroken regarding how much our communities lost because of their incompetence, carelessness, and awful behavior.

"They do not pay their workers" -I was hired as a dancer at their events. First day on the job I…read morewas told I would be in training.The event began at 6pm and was to go on until 10pm. I applied weeks ago and only received one email that I would be hired after a quick phone call interview. I waited for days , never heard from the guy. He goes by MC Tee as seen under the profiles of MCs. I decided to give him a ring since I knew the event was coming up on Saturday the day before Easter even though I was to be out of town for family I was really dedicated to my job and wanted to make a good impression. He picked up and stated that he totally forgot about me and sending me the info to the party. He said call time was at 5pm At this time it was 4:30pm (sheesh) and all the way in Reston Va. I told him I'll do my best and be there at 6pm He said perfect. I arrived at the location 6pm.I texted and called him several times for the room number. Never got it. The hotel staff kindly directed me to the party room. I saw MC Tee on stage and he didn't acknowledge me until almost 7 pm. No training no plan no nothing I just jumped in and started dancing and entertaining. During half-time One of the dancers quit and left home early for reasons unknown to me. They kept that on the low on purpose. I was told by Mc Tee that since he left I would get his tip which was $50 He took it out his wallet handed to Mc Tee and he handed it to me. I was then told I'd be bumped up from trainee at $75 per event to full time which is $150 for that day. So that would mean I would be compensated a total of $200 for the night correct? Wrong. I went all night in high heels all black because I wasn't told what to properly wear at this event. Mc Tee laughed it off while I was in discretionary pain all night. I learned the dance moves on my own and integrated with the kids all night. I was also told by Mc Tee to shut the Vendors down during critical times during the ceremony (which is not my job) He kept yelling at them on the mic. There was so much drama the whole night I stuck it out and completed my services. He did not pay me by end of night So I only went home with a tip. When I woke up next morning I found $$75 in my cashapp wallet. Huh? Wheres my remaining $75. I did this company a solid and all I got was threats insults and name calling from MC Tee refusing to pay me. I will never work for this company again It's rude abusive and they do not pay their workers. I was even told my "tip" was included in compensation lol They are nuts I am highly disappointed after helping them out and will be seeking legal counsel to get my remaining monies.Rude Disgusting and Lazy Do not hire Mc Tee!

I had 2 zoom calls with him and he was open to having another one if necessary (it wasn't necessary). He has amazing playlists you can pick from if you're hitting a song-wall, which is really helpful. I added several of my own songs, including some songs that are not as well known and controversial (lol politics) and he didn't care, which was super important to us. He also offers lighting services + a cool shoe game template that we took advantage of. Book Love & Light!!!

He really worked with us to pull a great mix of oldies, East Indian music, contemporary pop, and even K pop, as we had such a diverse group. He did an excellent job as our MC too. At the event I was very happy that the volume level seemed to be set perfectly for the space. The sound was adjusted well for dinner, toasts, and dancing. We also used the screen on the DJ booth to show photo slideshows, which was an added bonus. Highly recommend!

We hired Atoka String Quartet to play at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour in October. Tara…read morewas easy to work with up front and was willing for her team to play any music selection we wanted, even particular versions of the songs. The musicians who showed up to play at our wedding were friendly, professionally dressed, and the music sounded great. The only disappointment was that they did not play the prelude music in the order I had requested. I had communicated the particular order to Tara in the weeks leading up to the wedding. The selection order was both meaningful to me personally, and critical to provide queues for the seating of family and the wedding party. Playing out of order led to confusion right before the ceremony was to begin, culminating in our best men having to walk down the aisle during the groom's processional song. A critical misstep from Atoka that otherwise would have been a flawless execution.
