We want to have your guests party it up all night, jamming to all the wacky, fun, and eclectic songs that you are obsessed with!

Michael Ramos with District Remix kept the dance floor going all night at our wedding! We shared some playlists with him for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and the dance floor, and he completely understood the vibes we were going for and ran with it, working in everything from Irish folk songs to KPop Demon Hunters to Bruce Springsteen. So many guests told us the music felt just like “us” and commented on what a great DJ Michael was. As the bride, I even postponed changing into my “late night” dress because I wanted to spend more time on the dance floor! I absolutely recommend hiring District Remix and Michael in particular - you won’t regret it!

DJ SaWRose 

5.0

Columbia, MD
  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,000

Saroj James Hyoju, got into DJ industry upon walking into Latin club in Dallas, Texas in 2015. Coming from band background, he was surprised to see how people were moved by “Gasolina”, a reggaeton song. Observing how DJ was controlling the crowd’s energy while enjoying himself, this made him curious about club music genres, besides metal and rock. Following immediately, he hosted a Bring Your Own Beer (BYOB) house party, where 50 people showed up. A week later, he was invited to co-DJ at one of his friends’ wedding reception and rest is the history.

We had the absolute pleasure of having DJ Saroj at our wedding, and words truly can’t express how amazing he was. He DJed all three days of our wedding festivities, and from start to finish, he kept the energy alive and the dance floors packed. Saroj played such a great mix of music that appealed to everyone — from our youngest cousins to our older family members — and somehow knew exactly what to play at every moment. His transitions were smooth, his timing was perfect, and he really understood the vibe we were going for. What made it even more special was his dedication. He drove out of state just to be a part of our celebration. That kind of commitment and professionalism is rare, and we are so grateful for it. Thank you, DJ Saroj, for making our wedding so unforgettable. You had us dancing all three days and gave us memories we’ll never forget. If you’re considering booking him, don’t think twice. Just do it. You won’t regret it!

Looks By Dara creates timeless, camera-ready bridal hairstyles with a calm, luxury touch. Licensed with over 10 years of experience, Dara specializes in romantic waves, updos, and custom looks that last from first look to last dance. Every detail, from the trial to the final pin, is planned to keep your morning stress-free and joyful. Serving the DMV and destination weddings, Dara brings artistry, precision, and heart to ensure you feel celebrated, confident, and beautiful on your wedding day.

Dara has been my go-to hair dresser for quite a few years now. She really understands how to maintain hair health and has a great range to be able to cut and style my hair in either its naturally coily state and its straightened state - something that is really important to me! My silk press lasts about two weeks (without a relaxer) when I get them done from her! For me that’s a looonnngg time. My hair has grown so much under her care, as it was VERY damaged from relaxing it and always adding extensions when I first started seeing her. So when I found out that Dara was doing hair for a wedding I was going to be in, it was a no-brained to have her do my hair. She took the time to chat beforehand with me and made sure she knew what I wanted. She was able to work with the curly extensions I brought with me. And she took the time and care to make sure I not only looked good as a bridesmaid but that I loved the way I looked. She is not only a talented hair stylist but also an all around sweet human being. You won’t regret working with her!

Plus, he delivered our full package ahead of schedule—fast yet flawless. He even surprised us with a same-day sneak peek! Raghav’s passion for his craft shines through every frame, and it’s clear he truly loves what he does.

Greetings and salutation! I am a blue haired, tattooed geek girl wedding planner with a love of dragonflies & offbeat events! I have also been wedding planning since 2004. I haven't met a DIY project I can't wait to try, a scrapbook page I didn't want to make, or a cosplay idea I didn't want to put together. Watching all the different elements come together to make something come alive is fantastic. I approach all my events the same way. Helping a client pull together all of their puzzle pieces to make an event that is uniquely theirs is the best feeling!

Our wedding was going to be so simple, if you ask my husband. Tee-shirts. Taco truck. American Legion. Guests. Done. Even he had to thank Fran profusely for all of her foresight, thoughtful touches, and management skills. This was a second wedding for both with kids and exes on both sides. It went off flawlessly, thanks to Fran. Our wedding ceremony and reception were on consecutive days. She printed and framed ceremony pics to display at the reception. She kept an eye on tipsy guests and let us know about potential issues. She found seats for the guests who I had carelessly left off the seating chart. She picked up, deployed, and returned the table cloths and had special little decorations for our table. I couldn't possibly list all the things she did to make the day run smoothly and to make us feel cared for and loved. Thank you Fran. You almost make me want to do it all over again.

First and foremost, congratulations! This is an exciting time! Before I begin with all the details, I would like to do away with the formalities and keep it light. Technically speaking, I’m a photographer, but honestly, since establishing my business in 2014, I would consider myself a teammate through this process. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know couples, their families, their stories, and at the end of the day, becoming a good friend. If this vibes with you, we are off to a good start :) Answering questions, transparency in communication, and prompt responses are important to me and I hope that everything I share resonates.

I can't say enough about Justin! We had an amazing experience working with him for our elopement. He played a VERY important role in our big day, not only as our photographer, but as our witness, sole ceremony attendee, hype man, and what felt like a friend by the end of the day. He went above and beyond our expectations, and our photo session with him was a highlight of our wedding experience. Justin is amazing at his craft, as evidenced by his work. He also has an intimate knowledge of the DC monuments, museums, and various venues that offer great photo ops, so he was very helpful in selecting the Library of Congress as the primary setting for our session post-ceremony. Once we were there, he knew all of the best rooms, corners, and angles to get the best shots. He also identified a few impromptu stops on our path to get shots with the Capitol and the Washington Monument in the background. I couldn't be happier that we were able to get such amazing photos in front of the most iconic spots in DC. Beyond the beautiful photos, Justin has an infectious energy and is so much fun to be around. He will put you at ease while coaching you through poses, and he makes the whole thing so much fun. We're so happy to have had Justin as part of our day, and to have such beautiful memories to look back on!

We had the pleasure of working with DJ Wong from MyDeejay. A quick review of MyDeejay: They were excellent to work with. They paired us with DJ Wong after we filled out a quick survey about the vibe we wanted for our wedding, and it was smooth sailing from there. It's clear from working DJ Wong that MyDeejay vets their DJs very well and ensures they're all professional and great to work with. Now for DJ Wong: He's got all of the main things you want in a vendor--professionalism, responsiveness, expertise, etc.), but he goes well above and beyond those standards. He provided ceremony music, background music, reception music, and uplighting, but that's just the starting point of everything he did for us. We were PICKY and we had A LOT of requests, and he accommodated them all flawlessly and eagerly. We requested he alter versions of some of our selected songs to adjust for timing, blending parts of songs together, and very particular transitions between songs. He made everything sound amazing! We had not 1, not 2, but FIVE choreographed dances throughout the evening, and he executed the timing of everything perfectly. The sound was incredible! In addition to that, because we were completely over-the-top for our wedding, DJ Wong so graciously and excitedly fulfilled our request to have KARAOKE at our reception. It was SO MUCH FUN!!! We had a very particular vibe in mind from our wedding--we wanted our ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner to be classy and jazzy, and then for the reception dancing we wanted a mix of Pop anthems from the past 3 decades--DJ Wong understood the assignment perfectly! We were also at a very large venue and he had to provide sound across many different areas throughout the evening, but he came fully prepared and did an excellent job. We received so many compliments about the ambience for the entire evening, and we attribute that to him! On top of everything else, DJ Wong is an excellent MC and can read a room flawlessly. He kept the vibes up the entire evening, and struck the perfect balance of engaging with the audience and letting the music do the work. We are so grateful we had him for our special day!

Ed was so helpful and easy to work with our entire wedding process, which was a breath of fresh air in a very busy season! My friend had him at her wedding a few years prior and highly recommended him, and I’m so glad we took her suggestion! Ed has a great DJ website where you can add all the songs you like, as well as which songs you don’t want to hear (which is very important for me). He then creates amazing mixes with the songs and knows how to keep the party going. I was really happy he was able to find our first dance song, which is from the 1940s and not easy to stream from just anywhere (thank you!!!). Our dance floor felt tailored to us, and the lights were so fun. He also did our introductions and gave the guests instructions when needed.

Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

I had the pleasure of working with Kaylee and Alexis as the planner for a wedding in South Georgia. These two are the dream video duo! Professional, fun, and incredibly talented. They captured the heart of the day so effortlessly and were a joy to have around. Their attention to detail and ability to preserve emotion through film is simply incredible. Highly recommend Shutter & Sound for any wedding! xoxo Samantha

I had the pleasure of working with Sarah for my wedding, and I can't say enough good things about her. Her communication was always timely and clear, which made the planning process seamless. The quality of their work was incredible - the photos she captured were high quality and exactly what I had envisioned for our special day. She assisted us with our portraits and helped us feel more comfortable in front of the camera. Sarah was an absolute pleasure to work with, and we're so glad we found her. I would give Sarah a 10/10 and highly recommend her to any couple planning their wedding.
