DJ Karisma was absolutely the BEST! From the very beginning he was very responsive as I worked to secure a DJ for my Daughter’s wedding. When they had both returned from training, I passed the reins over to the Bride and Groom to work directly with Chris for song selections and wedding details. It all worked out perfectly! Perfect transition of the songs during the ceremony, cocktail hour and through dinner….a nice mix of oldies and Hawaiian as requested. OH… AND THEN IT WAS TIME TO DANCE!! Literally DJ Karisma had EVERYONE on the dance floor! Now this was a smaller wedding, about 60 people mind you….from the first beat the small dance space was filled…at some point I looked out to the tables…AND THEY WERE ALL EMPTY….EVERYONE WAS ON THE DANCE FLOOR!! It was an epic wedding and DJ Karisma played a huge part to make it Next Level!

Finally, I'm a crazy culmination of all my life experiences. I'm part Wedding Planner, part DJ, part Master of Ceremonies, part Performer, part Producer, part Designer, part Therapist, part Bartender, Everything little thing I am is WHY my clients trust me and tell me that I bring an event to life and that their party was amazing because of me.

We hired Liz to be our DJ and Master of Ceremonies. What we ended up getting was a full fledge package of a wedding planner, Roast Master, DJ, Master of Ceremonies, and the most generous person I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. Not only did she make sure that everything we asked for went more than perfect. She also took control and made sure our beach front wedding was hooked up with microphones and music so everyone could here our vows and be a part of the most special day of our lives. She is a FULL PACKAGE and she is worth 5x’s more than she charges. I can honestly say that she was the main reason our wedding was so memorable. It’s been 8 years and I still have friends making comments on how much fun and excite of the whole event was. When my wife and I renew our vows on our 10th anniversary. Liz will not be hired to work the event. She will be attending as a guest. She literally turned into part of our family and is loved dearly by my wife and I.

We asked for a lot of very specific things and Ben, our DJ delivered! I wanted an instrumental version of a song to play when the wedding party walked down the aisle, but when I walked down I wanted the lyrical version to start. Ben did this seamlessly, it made our ceremony that much more special. We have several friends getting married in the next year and we’ve definitely recommend summit events!

The Bachelor Boys Band is unbelievably talented and to have them play at our wedding was an honor. They matched our reception hype and then pushed it even further! 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!

DJ Touche absolutely rocked the house at our wedding in Summersville, WV. Not only did he provide some awesome moments that everyone at the wedding will remember, he played exactly the type of music we wanted played the whole night. He put his twists on things and made it better than we could’ve imagined. A lot of guests at our wedding have personally reached out and told us how awesome the DJ was and how he created the best possible environment for a wedding. Not only does DJ Touche have the stamp of approval, I really hope someone I know has him at their wedding because WOW! I couldn’t have imagined our day without him.

Ellicott City, MD
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Portsmouth, VA

MyDeejay has been the Baltimore / Washington DC area's premier wedding DJ service for over 15 years! 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!

Awarded Best of Zola
We couldn't recommend Mark enough!!! He is a vendor that is truly there for you and your big day. This is evident by the amount of time he spent meeting/helping us get all our details together, including awesome lights, and he even came to our venue walk-through and rehearsal to help make sure things would run smoothly. We never expected to have a DJ who could be such a great coordinator, but Mark was amazing in both roles. Mark was truly an amazing partner to work with. He really helped us feel prepared, comfortable, and ready to go! He provided guidance throughout the wedding planning process, helped us get out the door the day of the wedding, had an air pump ready to go when our officiant’s tire was flat, gave us day of reminders, kept the day on schedule and running smoothly as master of ceremonies. This guy can do it all! And of course, his DJing was great. The dance floor was packed all night and our guests had the best time dancing the night away with us! Mark took our preferences to heart and created a great atmosphere for all of our guests throughout the evening. MARK ROCKS!

Bill Carroll was more than a DJ at my mom's wedding. He genuinely cared about my mom's wishes and made it clear he wanted her to have the best wedding ever. It's like he became a member of our family leading up to and during the wedding. He made the entire process SO easy. When it came to the actual wedding day, everything went off without a hitch. My favorite part was when everyone left to line up and send off my mom and her new hubby, he played one final song for just the two of them to dance to, by themselves, on the dance floor. It was so incredibly touching. I can't recommend him enough. Absolute stand up guy and a DJ who knows what he's doing! Everyone had a blast. We love you, Bill Carroll!

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."

OBEHI THE DJ

Charlotte, NC
  • DJ
  • Serves Portsmouth, VA

Welcome! My name is Obehi (obey). I'm a Nigerian-born American. God has blessed me with many opportunities to be a full-time DJ. I take very seriously the nearly 200 weddings I've had the privilege of being a part of. I hope this curated page can show you and your family that I will give 110% of my talent and personality to aid in making your night one to remember.

Obehi is a close friend of my wife and I, originally met him on the salsa dance floor. I knew I wanted him to DJ our wedding months before I even proposed to my wife, so booking him was a no-brainer when wedding plans officially began. We didn't even talk to/entertain the idea of other DJ vendors. He's easily the best hype man, he handled our on-the-fly suggestions during the reception, and seamlessly tied the whole party together--even troubleshooting the party RGB lighting rig DURING the reception dance set list when they stopped working for a few minutes. Coming from a computer & network technician, that's impressive in such a high-sakes environment. Thanks again for celebrating our marriage with us, my friend.

Absolutely thrilled with The Hook Club's stellar performance at our wedding! From the get-go, their level of organization was nothing short of impressive. Months before the big day, they were on top of things, ensuring every detail was in place for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and the party. Communication was a breeze—they always responded promptly to our emails, making us feel heard and understood. What truly set them apart was their seamless collaboration with our wedding coordinator and the venue. They took the initiative to reach out in advance, ensuring a smooth setup and coordination on the day of the event. It was a testament to their professionalism and commitment to making our day perfect. The musical variety they offered was a highlight of our celebration.

From the pre-wedding planning to jammin out the entire night of our wedding, Fresh Take Band was the absolute best! If you're looking for a band that is organized, energetic, talented, and personable, look not further. We had Fresh Take perform at my wedding with the addition of 2 horns & they were truly exceptional! Daniel, head of Fresh Take, was amazing during our planning process and the band was absolutely phenomenal during our wedding! We had seen this in a previous review so we asked the band to have the horns lead everyone outside to our cake cutting & had surprise fireworks. The 2 horns played a melody leading my husband and I, and our other guests outside. I will never forget the look on everyone's faces as the horns played - amazing! At the end of the night the trumpist and saxophonist also guided our guests out to the sparkler exit. It was the perfect extra touch to really - WOW- our guests! They even included some personal touches with our first song- learning the lyrics to "Love like crazy" and changing a few words making it increasingly intimate! Throughout the night and in the days after our wedding, it was a consistent theme that everyone LOVED our band - obviously my husband and I did too! I cannot thank Fresh Take Band enough for bringing the energy & intimacy on the most magical day of our life!

We would highly recommend Brian to DJ your wedding! While we were planning, he was very easy to work with, and helped us articulate and envision what we wanted our wedding to be like - and during the event he was phenomenal. One of our biggests anxieties was that not too many people would be dancing, but he had a great mix of songs that appealed to the entire cross section of our guests - the dance floor was packed the whole night. 11/10 would highly recommend!

Whether it's a wedding, corporate event, or private party; I've got you covered.

Marty is a fantastic DJ & musician! This millennial planner was SO happy with his mixes and the dance floor was jam packed all night! He was such a pleasure to work with and I can’t wait to refer him business in the future!

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!

Deverin was such a joy to work with. He was fun and personable and kept the party going- no one was ready to leave! I gave him a list of songs for inspiration and he took it and ran with it which was awesome. He came well prepared and was able to switch gears and move inside and out seamlessly with little notice. He is such a nice person and so much fun! After my wedding my sister hurried to book him for her own wedding.

Words can’t express how much we loved working with Ana & Jimmy and the entire Amp DJ Band Hybrid. My husband really wanted a band while I really wanted a DJ, Amp DJ band was the perfect mix. We found Ana & Jimmy immediately and were able to schedule a meeting with them the next day. We knew right away that they were right for us. They were extremely attentive and outgoing from the start. They answered all out of questions and addressed concerns we had. We booked them immediately because we didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity to work with them. We met with them several times through our 6 month planning process. They responded immediately to any questions that popped up along the way and even allowed us to make a last minute change the night before. They well exceeded our musical playlist, taking the songs we requested and tailoring the rest of the music to fit the vibe. There was a perfect mix of live songs and an awesome dj set. The amount of compliments my husband & I received about the band far exceeded anything we expected. All of our guests LOVED them (of course as did we). So many people reached out that night or the next day to say how impressed they were with Ana, Jimmy & the whole band. We also had an acoustic guitar player at our cocktail hour which was amazing. If you’re debating getting a band for your wedding because your heart is set on a DJ, seriously look no further than Amp DJ Band hybrid. You will not be disappointed. I want to have another event just to work with them again!
