“We're writing this 4 days after our wedding, finally recovered from the absolute banger of a wedding that Alex DJ'ed. Our bodies are still sore from dancing all night and not sitting down. No one warned us how physically demanding it was to dance an entire night non-stop. We first met Alex when he was DJing our friends’, Addie & Loui’s, wedding in 2022. We were so impressed by how much thought and creativity went into his mixes and his ability to adapt the music based on the crowd's energy that night. The wedding planning process went very smoothly! During our calls, you could really tell how passionate Alex is about what he does. When we mentioned our favorite songs, he was so enthusiastic and immediately started working on mixes during the call. We loved the app he provided (Vibo), which allowed us to add songs and answer timeline questions for every aspect of our special day. On the wedding day, everything went smoothly and with no technical difficulties. He had enough equipment and staffing to handle the outdoor courtyard ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception (which all happened on separate floors). He played every song we asked for and was even able to fulfill a last minute request to surprise the bride with a flash mob that the groom organized. Our guests loved the PhotoBooth, which printed duplicates for our guest book. The booth attendants were very helpful providing instructions to fill out the guestbook. Alex is an incredibly talented artist, and you could tell that every detail of our dance party was expertly curated to make sure no one wanted to leave the dance floor. He poured his heart and soul into DJing that night, and every guest made sure to tell us how our night felt less like a reception and more like a set at a music festival. He seamlessly segued between genres and made sure he was able to fit in as much of our requests as possible. We wholeheartedly recommend Toussaint Productions to anyone who is looking to make sure every guest is out of their seats and dancing the night away.”

Baltimore Sound Entertainment

Serves Burke, VA

We have a rare opportunity to spend our time doing what we love at Baltimore Sound Entertainment. And we want to respect that opportunity by doing it to the best of our ability. When it comes to your wedding or event, we know the importance of creating a one-of-a-kind experience through music and entertainment.

“Where do I start? We had Jeffrey Lang from Baltimore Sound, and I could not have asked for a more fun and memorable wedding. Jeff and the whole team were extremely professional, timely, knowledgeable, entertaining, and prepared. We had the pleasure of hearing Jeff at his residencies in the Baltimore area. I said a few times several years ago that if we ever get married, that will be our DJ. When we first started planning, I reached out to a few vendors and friends and Baltimore Sound came unanimously recommended. Low and behold it turned out to be Jeff’s company! Baltimore Sound covered our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, which were all in different places on the same property. The transition was seamless. By the time the ceremony was over, the music in the cocktail room was already set up, and same with the ceremony. Jeff and his assistant came dressed sharp and professionally and they truly delivered A Plus First Class service. Baltimore Sound and Jeff literally had ALL of our guests of all ages dancing ALL night. They had all of our songs that we requested, even some more obscure songs we wanted, and the timing of their playing could not have been better. We requested some songs in advance, but left the rest up to Jeff and he completely nailed down our vibe and did a great job, reading the room and deciding when to play what type of song. It was truly seamless and perfectly executed. Baltimore sound also provided our lighting including a gorgeous gobo light with our names. It elevated the entire experience. Jeff and his assistant did a wonderful job communicating with our coordinator and other vendor team and I never had to be bothered with a question. There was honestly not a single hiccup during the entire night, but had there have been, I have full faith that Jeff and Baltimore Sound would have responded, professionally and efficiently. Before the wedding, Jeff communicated with me and stayed in touch. He responded to all my questions and gave me every bit of information needed to ease any worries in the planning process. I cannot wait to have another event where I can hire Jeff and Baltimore Sound. Thank you so much to Jeff and Baltimore sound for the best night of our lives!”

Leading up to the wedding, it was wonderful to work with Amber. She is lovely and helped us answer all of our questions. Katie was the lead singer and to say she killed it would be an understatement. I wish I knew the other 7 musicians' names because I would love to give them each a shoutout. They looked incredible for our formal-attire wedding. They were so kind and fun. And did I say talented because... wow! Anyone who is looking to book a band for an event, please look no further!”

Posh Life DJ Collective is a boutique DJ entertainment provider, bringing a welcomed alternative to the traditional DJ companies of the Washington DC, Northern Virginia, and Maryland area.

DJ Geometrix, his 25+ years of professional experience knows how to expertly evoke all of the right emotions for you and your guests with a customized soundtrack for your wedding day and a unique modern party experience that will live rent free in your guests' memories for a very long time.

“Brian, owner of Posh Life DJ Collective (aka DJ Geometrix), went above and beyond for us, significantly exceeding our expectations on our wedding day. We cannot thank him enough! Brian really got our party started, mixing tracks and reading our dance floor to give the crowd more of what they loved the most. We had a crowd of mixed age ranges and diverse cultural backgrounds, and Brian made sure that everyone felt included and inspired to dance! Not only is Brian a great DJ, he's also a talented and personable business owner. He was very attentive to our specific desires for genres to play, and he has a great app platform that allowed us to select specific songs and fill out our preferences for various aspects of his role. This made the process very easy and organized. He also spent time to (last-minute) mix and cut our mismatched procession songs to blend them seamlessly, taking a potentially ugly transition and making it beautiful! Another great advantage to working with Brian is the way he prices. He gives you one price and is available for the entire event. He set up outside for us and allowed us to use his mics and sound equipment for our ceremony at no additional cost. This saved us a lot of money and simplified the planning process for us as he ironed out those details for us. I am so grateful to Brian. He's extremely professional, reachable, relatable, and a really great guy to work with!”

The musicians were professional on site and sounded wonderful - lots of compliments from our guests. Our processional and recessional were timed perfectly. Chelle was responsive and super easy to work with during the planning process. We had a very DIY wedding and she had some great suggestions that were helpful. Anthem is a fantastic choice for string music - they also have solo, duo and trio options, and a huge repertoire covering any kind of music you can think of!”

“Kelton was wonderful to work with from start to finish. He stuck with us even when we had to postpone our wedding for two years due to the pandemic, so we really appreciated his commitment to working with us. Kelton has a great system for figuring out your taste, priorities, and run of show. He set up very quickly at our venue, which was key given we were running on a tight schedule, and he managed to produce nice sound in a very cavernous space (no idea how!). He kept us running on time and made all transitions seamless. His music perfectly matched the vibe we wanted, starting with a relaxed cocktail hour and dinner, and gradually increasing the tempo into a full-scale dance party as the night went on. And our friends and family had an absolute blast! He had everyone from 20 somethings to family in their 60s and 70s dancing until the very end! We got so many positive messages the next day, including one person who described our DJ as being "on fleek."”

Since 1990, The Moonlighters ® have been performing throughout the U.S. as one of the country’s best-loved and most authentic Motown and variety dance bands, covering all your Jazz/Blues/Oldies/Motown/Soul/Disco/Funk/Classic Rock/Pop favorites! Just close your eyes and you’ll swear the original artists are performing. But don’t close them for too long or you won’t be able to enjoy their outstanding dance moves and showmanship.

“We're quite saddened by their google review, posted even before we had a chance to actually speak with them to clear up several serious inaccuracies. Our band has HUNDREDS of positive online reviews/satisfied wedding clients. And we'll always accept valid criticism. But this one is mostly false and unfair. As Zola does not provide the option for responding to negative reviews, the following are our comments: 1. Since the bride and groom hadn't hired a wedding planner everything was extremely disorganized as we received their timeline just one week prior to the event, but then they changed it twice more, including two days before. Despite asking for our bandleader's phone #, the groom never reached out to discuss any of these details. In other words, we were given minimal direction in regard to all of the last-minute changes. Even on the wedding day itself, our band was asked to set and reset their equipment multiple times because the bride and groom disagreed with the onsite coordinator's floor plan, moving/resetting the bride and groom table as well! 2. According to what the photographer told us, the bride and groom's limo driver was over 90 min. late, shifting the entire timeline and putting them in a bad mood from the very beginning, as noticed by our bandleader at around 5:15pm when he first introduced himself, prior to the band providing either live or recorded music. 3. Regarding the recorded music, it was only lacking for approx. 45 min. as the band discovered the phone battery issue at approx. 7:45pm, during their first break, quickly rectifying the situation by putting the phone on a charger and then continuing with the recorded music outside from approx. 8-10pm. Furthermore, they made up for it by keeping their system running for an extra 30 min., beyond our contracted time of 11pm. And those comments regarding the afterparty are also totally untrue as somebody from the band was manning the system, until a cousin of the bride or groom demanded that he use her playlist instead, and then she responded angrily when he finally turned off the system at 11:30pm. 4. As for the band's sound system, we do acknowledge some 'hum' issues as there was just one electrical outlet provided for the entire band, resulting in 'dirty power' which couldn't be fully corrected. And we deeply regret mispronouncing the various names as most were very unfamiliar and of Indian origin, despite our lining up the wedding party in advance and writing everything down phonetically. 5. Even though some of the client's emails mentioned solo keys during cocktails, we provided a duo, covering an extra 30 min. of recorded music from 4:30-5pm at no extra charge, as requested. While it's standard practice for a band to take a dinner break during an almost six hr. event, this was clearly-specified in our contract as well. And then we performed continuously from 8:30-10pm, including most of the requested songs that we had prepared well in advance. So their comments about seemingly just 'walking off a bus' are completely false and misleading. In other words, our musicians went 'above and beyond' in spite of some very challenging circumstances. 6. Fortunately, we did receive a 'happy reaction' with a crowded dance floor and TONS of compliments from the guests, some requesting pictures w/the band too, while even the bride and groom were singing along and dancing non-stop, which we were VERY happy to see, making their negative review even more surprising though!”
