“Mike DJ'd my wedding in May 2023, and he is THE BEST. We cannot recommend him highly enough. Mike was very responsive, easy and fun to plan with, and great with communication leading up to the wedding. On the day of the wedding, we didn't need to touch base with him because we were confident he had everything covered. We had some interesting song requests, specific timing for certain songs, etc., and Mike handled everything perfectly. He was the perfect MC to help facilitate the grand march, speeches, dances, and dinner, and he kept the party going all night! We highly, highly recommend Mike!”

Baltimore Sound Entertainment

5.0

Baltimore, MD

DJ
Starts at $1,600
Serves Fort Washington, MD

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.

“Despite all of the planning and all your, and everyone else’s best efforts, things will not go as expected at your wedding, and that is just a cold, hard, truth. They can go unexpectedly in a great direction, or they could become annoyances, catastrophes, or disappointments. Or, you can hire Zach Book, and every unexpected moment, even the ones that initially seemed disastrous, turn into something purely magical. Long story short, lots had to be changed to our outdoor wedding due to rain. Zach rolled with all the changes and then some. He crouched behind a small room divider during our ceremony when we had to relocate it to under the tent onto his DJ stage, allowing us to still get the perfect moments with our officiant. He coordinated with three performers that we had in order to have their songs and backing tracks ready for aerial performances, live singing, and lip-synching. At one point in the night our generator went out, and by some stroke of genius he had a portable boom box that he held above his head, blasting “It’s Not Right, But It’s Okay” by Whitney Houston while our friend, a drag queen, lip synched illuminated by only cell phone light as she projected beautiful and ethereal shadows onto the tent wall. There are photos of my best man, also holding the boombox above his head, in what is one of my favorite wedding photos. The rain stressed me out so much, as did all of the changes we had to make last minute to plan around it - and the generator going out could have been a night-ending moment. Instead, the party went on, more unexpected, more perfect, more “us” than possible. Our speeches and cake cutting occurred way later than scheduled and he was still ready for the moment and right on track. When a less-than-sober family member delivered a rambling speech, he played hilarious Oscar-style send-off music that cut the tension and gave us a perfect moment of levity that we can use to deliver some good-natured ribbing for the rest of our lives. He somehow coordinated with my mother on the day of the wedding to allow her to fake me out with a slow song briefly before our planned up-beat mother/son dance. He showed up early. He sent us a playlist the day-of for getting ready to that was an upbeat primer to the night’s music. He wore a costume that perfectly fit our playful and Halloween-centric theme (and also matched the processional music which we chose, which was a song by the Muppets.) He brought extra microphones. He understood our sort of quirky and unique assignment for wedding vibes, and he fed off our energy, and he gave us things to add in that we hadn’t even considered. And the vibes were immaculate. The real sorcery is probably that there isn’t any sorcery at all; Zach both listened to us and has the compassion to understand what we really needed; what decisions were perfect for our spooky/sexy/joyous/riotous wedding. What felt like miracles were probably just his incredible ability to feed off the energy of a crowd, to understand what we wanted as a couple, and to have the foresight to plan ahead for unexpected occurrences. However, in the moment, it truly felt like magic. If none of what I described sounds like what you want from your wedding, don’t worry - I have full faith that Zach matches your energy and your desires and delivers based on what put forward. He’s kind and considerate and fun and prompt and delightful. One of the true highlights was working with, and ultimately experiencing, Zach Book.”

They are probably 99.99999% of the reason that, one month later, we are still receiving rave reviews that our wedding was one of the “most fun” weddings our guests have ever attended. Our producer, Colin, worked with us to advise what made the most sense for the music we wanted and for our venue. We appreciated his straightforward answers and advice, especially when it came to our music selections and what would make them sound best. On our wedding day, the band leader/MC made sure to meet with our wedding party before intros so he could properly pronounce everyone’s name. He also worked with our venue coordinator to ensure we stayed on schedule as best we could. Their booking website was easy to use and made managing payments and day-of timelines super easy. We also used their lighting services. For all of the details big and small, booking the Bachelor Boys was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.”

DJ Casanova Productions

5.0

Silver Spring, MD

DJ
Starts at $1,500

If you’ve had a good time at a wedding or event in the DC/Maryland/VA area, chances are it was DJ Casanova that got you moving. You know him as DJ Casanova, but around the office, we just call him Jamie. Back in the day, he was just a child of immigrants recording his favorite songs over his parent’s cassette tapes (sorry Mom and Dad) so he could listen to them on his prized Walkman. Jamie entered the DJ field in 2009, and before long he was spinning something at a different party every week. Pretty soon he realized that sharing his love of music with like-minded folks was more than just a hobby, it was a gift.

“DJ Casanova was recommended to us by our venue and we could not have been happier with our decision to have him DJ our wedding reception. He is extremely organized and responsive. He shared a wedding planning sheet with us that allowed us to build our timeline and reception playlist. He also allowed us to create our own playlists for cocktail hour and dinner music (though he has some of his own playlists that we 'stole' some songs from too). What really made DJ Casanova stand out was that he met with us virtually (we don't live in the DMV area) multiple times before our wedding. His main focus during the first session was to learn about us as individuals and a couple, as well as our families. The second session was focused on logistics, name pronunciations, etc. He was extremely receptive to our requests and made the wedding day exactly what we wanted. Many of our guests asked us how we found our DJ because they were so blown away with the musical selections he played and how friendly he was during the reception. We give our highest recommendation!”

“My fiance and I were looking for a DJ who would get the party started early on, and keep it going throughout the entire night. We found just that with DJ Mark Maskell! Mark worked closely with us throughout our planning months to curate a vibe and playlist that matched our vision perfectly. He handled everything from the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to the reception and late night dancing. He was honest with his feedback, and listened extremely well, making sure to play only the genres of music that we enjoy. Our guests were up and dancing all night long and had nothing but positive things to say about Mark and his music selection. He did a beautiful job with the lighting/uplighting to accentuate all of the beautiful reception details and the dance floor party. The price for his services was also very reasonable! We highly recommend DJ Mark Maskell!”

Recent news: 24k is proud to have been chosen as the entertainment for the National Women's Art Museum in October!

“We hired 24K Event Band for our long-postponed COVID wedding this March (2022). They were phenomenal in every way. From the very beginning, Jill, the band leader, made the experience very easy. She was incredibly responsive and helpful. She guided us through the process, asked all the right questions and helped us think of things we certainly hadn't thought of ourselves. The band learned two custom songs for us, one for our first dance and another for the mother/son dance. They CRUSHED the songs! Absolutely amazing. Overall the entire experiences was beyond my wildest dreams. Everyone at the wedding was amazed by the talent and energy of the band. We loved all of the vendors we worked with to make our night special, but 24K Event Band went above and beyond and really made the night come together. I would highly, highly recommend them. Great energy, great enthusiasm, amazing to work with, and incredible talent.”
