Baltimore Sound Entertainment

5.0

Baltimore, MD

DJ
Starts at $1,600

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.”

“Jacob with District Remix took the time to understand what our music vision and dreams were for our ceremony, cocktail hour, dance floor, and beyond and not only delivered flawlessly for each, but did it with enthusiasm and energy all night long! Jacob delivered everyone an evening of jamming to our favorite music, playing requests, bumping the bride and grooms favorites, and reading the room to give everyone exactly the music they didn’t know they needed! The dance floor took off immediately and never slowed down! I could go on and on, but our wedding was the best day of our lives and music was one of our top priorities and I can say with confidence that District Remix played an essential role in bringing our wedding day to life and keeping the energy high!”

“We are generally very happy with dj Edward! Him and his wife were very professional throughout our entire wedding process. His prices are very reasonable and he let us add on uplighting at the last minute. We wanted a dj who would work with a very specific playlist we curated for the entire day and he agreed to do that which was rare in our dj search! Everything sounded great and looked great. He does not talk during the reception unless prompted which we loved. And when he did mc he was professional and hype. Our only problem was we emailed him part of our reception playlist and it must have gotten lost so he deviated a bit from what we wanted during the reception. However the mistake was quickly notice and he automatically fixed everything so no harm! If you want a professional consistent and trustworthy dj. This is your guy”

Our polished, no-cheese performing style is perfect for couples who want an awesome dancing experience for their guests, but aren't interested in the typical "entertainer emcee" style of performer. Visit our website to learn more about our services and approach!

“We hired DJ Chuck from mydeejay for our wedding on April 6, 2024 at Kent Island Resort, and it was the best decision! From our initial phone call, after interviewing a few different DJs from different companies, we knew Chuck would be the right fit. Throughout the planning process he was very accommodating, and the mydeejay planning portal was incredibly thorough and easy to navigate. Chuck arrived early to set up for both our outdoor ceremony and indoor reception. His equipment was top of the line - everyone said our ceremony music (which was played outside during an incredibly windy day) sounded like live string music. His indoor set up was incredibly sleek looking. Chuck played all of our requested songs, cut them at the perfect places when needed (for ceremony and dances) and mixed in others that kept our dance floor packed all night - which is what we wanted most at our reception. We also ordered uplighting through them which turned out great. I highly recommend DJ Chuck and mydeejay for your wedding or event!”
