I ordered delivery of Chef John's Kitchen via DoorDash. The first thing that stood out to me was…read morehow neatly the food was packed. There were three layers of wrapping of my Efo Riro and Pounded Yam. The food was well seasoned and flavorful. Unfortunately, the meats were undercooked (i.e., cow skin/pomo, goat meat). They were tough to chew. I had to remove the meats and steam them separately to properly enjoy my meal. Getting the meat tender would easily make them a 5 star establishment. There were two pounded yams provided, but not enough stew for both. For me, it was 1.25 servings of Efo Riro instead of the expected two servings. At this price point, I would have preferred more stew. I still recommend them for authentic Nigerian cuisine.

Mark also made sure to have a superb sound system and mics that we could use during both the ceremony and reception. Music is such an important part of life/events and he made the best transitions/playlist. He is professional, timely, kind, creative, and TALENTED. I highly recommend him for your next event!

He takes his job seriously and has true skill. If you are looking for a nightclub-quality DJ with genuine talent, then look no further. He actually DJ's at the D.C. area's premier nightclubs. DJ Scientific can find absolutely ANY song. He was able to find a Nigerian high-life song that we were looking for, and was able to blend it right in with the overall old-school hip-hop flavor we wanted. We were quite fortunate to discover him completely by accident after having read about him in a Washington Post article. He is actually a NASA rocket scientist by day and a DJ at night (see video: http://abcnews.go.com/video/playerIndex?id=4895302)! As our Master-of-Ceremony, he also made a particular point to get the correct pronunciation of the names of our wedding party prior to our entrance into the reception. And there were a few challenging names to pronounce among us...Igbo names ain't easy! But he was clear, articulate, and flawless. For what he is able to do, he could absolutely charge much more. A fantastic find!

We cannot say enough good things about Capital Effect, they were one of the absolute best parts of…read moreour wedding! From the very start, they set the perfect tone with beautiful acoustic music for our ceremony, seamlessly carried the energy through cocktail hour, and then completely brought the house down during our reception. The dance floor was packed all night, and our friends and family were blown away, we kept getting asked throughout the night (and even days afterward) how we found such an incredible band. They're talented, professional, and just so much fun. Truly unforgettable, we'd recommend Capital Effect to anyone looking to take their wedding to the next level!

We hired Washington Talent Agency to provide "DJ Chaos" for our daughter's Bat Mitzvah this past…read moreSaturday night at Guapo's in DC, and we could not have been happier with his energy, his sense of humor, his professionalism, his preparation, and his ability to get everyone (even the parents) jumping up and down. Several of my daughter's friends told her this was their favorite Bat Mitzvah this year, out of many dozens, and DJ Chaos was a major reason. Here's what I liked about DJ Chaos: He was early so he had plenty of time to test the equipment. He saw the restaurant had trouble with their speakers and he trouble-shooted and solved the issue. He created a backup music track just in case our audio/photo montage had any audio problems. He got everyone dancing, laughing, had a number of funny contests and games and it was wall-to-wall fun. It's like he thought of everything that could possibly go wrong and already had a Plan B + C for every eventuality. He was great to meet and speak with and he was so well prepared like he was on a military operation. 10 out of 10 stars.

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.
