My husband and I used Marylands DJ for our wedding reception and they were wonderful! They were great throughout the planning process in making sure they really captured what we wanted and everyone that we worked with was incredibly nice, especially DJ Harvey. He was super flexible and accomodating during the wedding when I asked if we could change a couple things on the spot, and our guests loved him as well! Highly recommend!

Can’t say enough good things about them! Jordan is so professional and did everything exactly how we wanted. Thorough and so friendly! We had people dancing all night long! Thank you MD DJs!!

Amazing DJ and Professionalism!

--Tl;dr stop reading this review and go book them right now!

--We used Maryland’s DJ for our wedding reception and they were the most complimented vendor of the night.

--Of the DJs we interviewed Marylands DJ was by far the most professional and put together, and from the beginning we trusted their whole team. This was important because the original DJ we booked with had a conflict on our wedding day, and we weren’t concerned in the slightest when we were assigned a new DJ.

--The DJ for our wedding was DJ Mike Q and he was absolutely spectacular. He emceed very well following our instructions in their planning portal. He also could improvise well, like when I asked him to give a shout out to one of our grandmothers because it was her birthday. He also picked up on a song referenced in the best man’s speech and played it later in the night. He also takes song requests!

--DJ Mike Q was so good at keeping folks on the dance floor. I kid you not, it was packed all night and he mixed in a lot of songs we put on a list that gave him our dancing music vibes. I remember I was viben so hard that I forgot to drink anything between 8 and 9 pm. Maybe we’re biased, but compared to the previous few weddings we attended DJ Mike Q absolutely played the best music for dancing from beginning to end.

--He also added some fun mixes into the song list that made us belly laugh a few times.

--We got the photobooth and they did a great job with it. Got all the photos within a day or two of the wedding from that. That was easy to use and we were glad we got it because it gave folks a break from dancing.

--They also provided lighting and were super experienced and helpful when we had no idea how to pick what would look good in our venue

--The online planning tool and regular email reminders were great tools to help us plan our music independently on our own time.

--We didn’t book them for the ceremony, but I’m sure they would have done well.

--We got uplighting from them and it looked great in the barn. They knew exactly where to put it and we didn’t even have to think about it. We trusted them and they delivered.

We worked with Mike through Maryland Djs and he was really great throughout the entire planning process. Mike was recommended to us by a friend who had nothing but great things to say about him! I thought Mike did an excellent job at our wedding overall but, there was a bit of a hiccup during a very special song that I am still pretty disappointed about. He was very apologetic after that fact so that’s really all I can ask for. I did get some feedback from several guests and they mentioned that the music was relatively low and they felt like the songs were changing at the good parts. I also felt like the music was pretty low and I know my husband and I could barely hear the music during our walk in at reception. Music was the only form of entertainment we had at the wedding so I was a little disappointed that so many of our guests made comments after. I’m happy with how the reception was but, I do think it could have been better. However, I don’t think this is necessarily a reflection on Mike overall and I do think he’s a great choice for any upcoming events. I would just be clear about the things I mentioned above before your event to ensure it is a bit smoother than ours.

A true party!

Ryan C. kept the party going on our wedding day! He was timely, professional and made sure that everything went smoothly. Ryan catered to the needs of the crowd, engaged our guests and brought EVERYONE together on the dance floor! I danced so hard that I wore holes in my shoes!! We cannot recommend him enough! Thank you!

We would love to say the service was a 10! Everyone enjoyed the night and everything went smoothly.

The music worked for every age range and so happy we chose you guys as our DJ, it was a fantastic night. Thank you!

My favorite part was the uplighting I need that in my house!

Totally awesome

We hired Steve to provide music and entertainment for our reception and ensuing dance party. I would say that working with Steve, and his performance at the reception, was the absolute highlight of our entire wedding. From our first conversation, I could tell that Steve was fully on board with our plan to have a progressive/electro house dance party. We provided some songs as inspiration, and he gave us a live demo at his office, demonstrating his mixing style as well as other songs he’d found to match our taste. He accommodated my mom’s insistence on using a medley of Prince songs for the mother/son dance, and he transitioned from that into his DJ set absolutely flawlessly. I will never forget standing in the middle of the dance floor with my now-wife, surrounded by our friends, as the final guitar solo of “Let’s Go Crazy” played out, ending with Steve announcing “Your dance floor is now open!”, immediately followed by the drop of “Feel So Close” (Calvin Harris). People went nuts and it was awesome. Additionally, Steve is just an all around fun guy to talk to and work with. He gets my highest recommendation.

The entire Marylands DJ team was kind and professional, and their whole process was very streamlined and detail-oriented! Their forms and online platform made it easy to plan music selections and figure out timelines. We had a micro wedding of about 40 guests, and our DJ Mike was awesome... he was able to identify our tastes in music and catered playlists to them. He was able to find this awesome balance of keeping the party going but not going "overboard" since it was a smaller wedding. I would highly recommend Marylands DJ!!!

Great energy at our wedding. Steve from Maryland's DJ did the audio for our ceremony (without a hitch!) as well as our dance party. It was very easy to communicate with them (great web portal) and they were extremely professional as well as great at keeping the energy up at our wedding. We got lots of compliments on our wedding and many on our DJ (Steve) in particular. Thank you!

Neil and the rest of the team was AMAZING! We truly would not have changed a thing. Our guests stayed out on the dance floor all night long which is exactly what we wanted. We’ve had so many people tell us how awesome our DJ was and how great the music selections were. My husband and I had an absolute blast, we are so thankful to Neil and the team for making our night perfect. I’d give him an 11/10, he was very responsive through the entire planning process and delivered exactly what he said he would. He totally exceeded our expectations. Thank you so much to your team for being such an important part on our day!

It was awesome working with Maryland's DJ! Jordan Solander and Brian Doane were great to work with!

Everything worked great with Maryland's DJ!

Jordan and his team, including our DJ Steve spent lots of time up front getting to know us and our preferences for music at our wedding. They were also flexible through our many pandemic-driven reschedulings. And the end result was great! Guests commented that they liked the music, stayed dancing throughout the reception, and my wife and I had a great time! Highly recommended.

Hands down the best DJ service in the DMV area! They will make all your wishes come true and your guests will be dancing the night away! Jordan is my favorite DJ ever - he plays all the jams. He will work with you to make sure all your favs get played and he'll avoid what you don't like. All the DJs here are collaborative and fun. You can't go wrong. Worth every penny!

Amazing! Worry free!

Habtu was a dream! He took all of our requests and do not play songs seriously and always catered to us! He even took pictures during the ceremony, angles that I haven’t seen from anyone else! His mixing was great and he kept the party going the whole time! He made wonderful announcements and each song’s timing was perfect! When I had enough of the first dance and father dance, all I had to do was give him the look. SEAMLESS!

Working with Neil at Maryland's DJ was a great experience! We had several planning calls where he was responsive and respectful in helping us talk through the vibe we wanted from the wedding, he checked in with us in the months leading up to the wedding, and absolutely kept the party going at the wedding itself. Highly recommend!

Maryland’s DJ should be your top choice - no question about it! We cannot rave enough about how wonderful of an experience we had with Steve as our DJ and working with Jordan in preparation of the big day. They were professional, great on the mic and they got EVERYONE on the dance floor. We even had a seasoned vendor comment that they’ve never seen so many people stay all the way to the end of the reception!

To begin - their portal system easily allows you to track what songs you want to hear at the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception; they meet with you in advance of your wedding to confirm plans and provide advice to make the day flow; they easily worked with any request we had; and they were so flexible when the wedding was running way behind schedule (not their fault) so Steve checked in with us on if we wanted to make any changes, then he kept the party moving! Everyone - even guests we never thought would leave their seats - was bringing their all on the dance floor and that’s thanks to Maryland’s DJ! Hire Maryland’s DJ and you’re guaranteed to have an amazing reception!

We were blessed having Steve as our DJ! It felt like having a friend there who truly cared and put every detail into our special day that we asked for. He added in special requests and even added a last minute first dance song in just minutes before. We could not recommend Steve and Maryland's DJ enough!

Maryland's DJ was a fabulous vendor to work with. They always communicated with us in a professional manner and were very responsive. Steve really got to know John and I as a couple and our music likes and dislikes. We had to reschedule our wedding date due to the pandemic and they were extremely flexible. We really couldn't have asked for a better DJ! -John and Rebekka

The Maryland’s DJ was a great experience throughout the entire process, from beginning to finish. They were very flexible in this current environment as the time change for the wedding, and they were very accommodating. They provide great music and the sound throughout the wedding, coordinating with the venue with minimal questions for the wedding party as they went over the questions prior to the day of the event. I would recommend them for any function as the flexibility and capability was one of the most pleasant during the process of planning the wedding. Great job.

Steve from Maryland’s DJ perfectly captured our wedding vision and had everyone on their feet all night! He was great at moving the night through speeches and cake cutting and then getting people back out on the dance floor. He also played music for our ceremony and it was absolutely beautiful. We cannot recommend him enough to our friends getting married in the future. Thanks again, Steve!

We loved Neil, Josh, and the lighting. Everything was perfect. They were all super professional and got there early. Neil was outstanding. We appreciate all of the prep work he did- everything was flawless. From the processional music to the dance floor music, Neil made the party and wedding exceptional. I would refer him to everyone! The saxophone player really brought the party.

Hope to use Marylands DJ and Neil again some time in the future!

We had Jamaal as our DJ for our wedding. From the get go, Jamaal was incredibly flexible with our itinerary. He had the air of a professional who would be able to pull off any requests we threw at him, and this level of confidence was very reassuring. The day of the wedding, Jamaal did a fantastic job keeping us on schedule with his MCing, and ticked all the boxes. His music had everyone dancing the entire night!

Had an awesome time with Marylands DJ

I had Maryland's DJ for my wedding last weekend and they totally rocked it. We got a lot of compliments that night for the music mixes and the energy. Brian was a lot of fun to work with, at one point some during the reception guest were slowing down a bit but he was able to get everyone excited and dancing again in no time.

I knew several years before my wedding that I wanted to work with Maryland’s DJ after seeing them at a friend’s wedding so I’m so happy they were available and there to make my big day so memorable!

Can't say enough good things about this company. We had so many special requests and questions and Maryland's DJ was always available ! Out of all our vendors, Maryland's DJ was by far the most professional and supportive during the planning process and our big day. Ryan was personable and felt more like a guest than a DJ! Thank you so much Ryan for all the help and making our day that much more special!

Everyone at MD's DJ was so great to work with! Taylor helped with scheduling and coordination, and she was so responsive, kind, and a joy to work with! DJ Steve was originally supposed to do our wedding and he produces music as well as DJing, so when I brought him a first dance song that I loved but felt too long, he helped me rework it keeping all of the sentimental parts while trimming it down to a reasonable time. He is so great! Something came up and he couldn't make it to our event, so DJ Scott stepped in and was so great! Every song he played was met with cheers and our guests RAVED about him. He kept the dance floor full all night and everyone had so much fun!! Highly recommend Marylands DJ!!!

Jordan and the team at Maryland's DJ were incredible to work with and elevated our special day beyond anything we could hope for. From their online portal that helped us to map out and plan our music to the meetings and check-ins to the actual day of, they left nothing to chance and provided an amazing experience at each step. Jordan was a phenomenal DJ and Emcee, providing the sound track and flow of events for the best day of our lives. We cannot recommend Jordan enough!

Jordan was great! He listened to us and wanted to get to know us as a couple. He then crafted a mix of songs that fit our tastes, personalities, and the event we were planning. Nothing was pre-mixed as he did everything on the spot. Truly a talented DJ! We got so many compliments on how good he was after our wedding from our guests!

Awesome DJ experience from beginning to end

When considering all the different vendors for our wedding, we knew to have a great DJ was important to us. We inquired with quite a few but when we met Jordan, the decision was easy. The entire process was smooth and made us less stressed for our big day. We loved the demo provided before we signed the contract as well as the online portal that made it easy to provide our preferences. Jordan provided great input to help us decide which songs we wanted and when. He helped us figure out the entire flow of the wedding. We also got our lighting from Jordan and it looked great and we were able to see the color and options ahead of time. And of course, probably most important, the day of the wedding everything was amazing. All of the guests were out on the dance floor and had a fantastic time. Can't say enough great things about our experience!

Jordan is the best DJ ever! Obviously because he DJed our wedding but I have yet to see one better at other weddings we have gone to! I even had a friend say they wish they had him. I only hope he will get to DJ another wedding that we go to.

Jordan was absolutely THE BEST DJ! Periodt. Our dancefloor was packed for 4+ hours because of Jordan. The way he weaved in our "must play" songs into other songs and remixes that fit the vibe of the room was truly masterful. To keep that many people going for that long was really awesome. Even during the cocktail hour and dinner, the music he selected was perfect. So many people came up to us both during and after the ceremony to ask "where do I find that song," because the music was so perfectly us they assumed we had made a playlist. But no, it was all Jordan. He took the time to actually get to know us before the ceremony, to pick up on exactly what we liked (and just as importantly disliked) so that the music would be perfect. Also, can't emphasize how impressed we were with the uplighting he provided, which really added an extra element to the room. The photobooth was also amazing. Would 100% recommend Jordan!!

To me, finding a good DJ was one of the most important parts of my wedding. We wanted someone who was current but that could also cater to our parent’s friends. Brian was recommended to me by a few different people. Our Wedding was not the easiest because it was in a remote location without wifi/service. We ended up contracting him for extra time because we didn’t want the party to end. Everyone told me how much they loved our DJ and a bunch of my friends are using him for their weddings. I highly recommend Brian!

Jordan and his team from Maryland DJ were truly amazing! They really care about the people they work with and spent a lot of time just getting to know my wife and I, which made us feel even more comfortable to work with them. The attention to detail, music selection, timelines, light selection, fun attitude, and support were above and beyond. My wife and I work full time jobs and Jordan helped keep us on track with his easy to understand platforms and his kind demeanor walking us through every step of the way. Jordan did it all for us from music selection to back lighting to an awesome easy to use photo booth. From start to finish, Jordan made the venue come alive! I am not exaggerating when I say everyone was on the dance floor the entire night. If you are looking for an awesome DJ we highly recommend using Maryland DJ! Thank you Jordan and Maryland’s DJ for being great and being a part of our special night!

DJ Alex!!!

DJ Alex did a phenomenal job not only during the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and party… but perhaps most importantly, before the wedding weekend even started. The conversations we had with him made us very comfortable - we recognized that he knew exactly what we were going for. And he executed.

He did such a great job - we had the best time of our lives and his attention to detail, attitude, energy was a big part of why it was such a success.

Jordan is the best!

Jordan went above and beyond for our wedding on 5/4/19. He truly cared about what we (the bride & groom) wanted. We recommend him a million times over. He honestly felt the crowd out as soon as they started to enter. He knew exactly what to play at our wedding to keep everyone on the dance floor all night long! Do yourselves a favor and book Jordan for whatever event you need a DJ for! Thanks again Jordan! You killed it!

Maryland’s DJ was INCREDIBLE. Before our event, there was really good communication from everyone on the team, including the automated reminder emails, personal emails, and our original intake. We really liked that we had so many options of DJs to choose from, too. We also really liked the portal and how we could sort through/choose songs in there. Neil, who actually worked our event, was the absolute best. He met with us several times to make sure things were just right. He matched our vibe and kept people on the dance floor throughout the night. The transitions between songs were awesome. He was a guiding presence to the guests and kept the spotlight on us. People said music was one of the best parts of our wedding. Can’t recommend Maryland’s DJ enough!

Hire Jordan!!

I first experienced Jordan’s DJ style at my cousin’s wedding 6 years ago, where I had the most fun at any wedding I had been to. I knew right then that when the time came, I was sure I would book him for my own wedding. Fast forward 4 years later, as soon as my now husband proposed, we set up a meeting with Jordan to get him booked (before we even had a venue). He is incredibly professional, and I had full confidence that he had everything under control on our big day. The music was amazing, and even though he had to leave early to go see his child be born (!!) he made sure we were set up to continue using the equipment in his absence to finish out the night strong. Would recommend him to anyone who wants a DJ who will be sure to keep everyone on the dance floor

Maryland's DJ was a great choice for a wedding DJ! Jordan was very helpful in finding out exactly what we wanted our wedding to be like and he matched us with a perfect DJ for the job.

Best dance floor ever!

We worked with Mike Q and had the most amazing experience. We told him our highest priority was to never have a lull in the dance floor and he absolutely delivered. Our guests were dancing all night long and everyone told us how amazing the DJ was. We had a crowd of all different ages and he did a great job of mixing in songs for everyone. We also talked about him playing songs fast and not staying on one song for too long, and he did this better than I could have imagined and he got through every song I wanted to hear and was able to take requests as well from our guests.

Working with Jordan was effortless! He was very communicative, quick with responses, and offered great advice on our wedding playlist. He was informative and provided great ideas and suggestions to enhance our day. One thing in particular that was very helpful was his timed reminders and actions to complete tasks. That helped us to stay organized and be on top of what we had to do regarding the music, lighting, and timeline. On the day of our wedding, Jordan and his team were a breeze to work with. When they packed up the photo booth towards the end of the evening since it wasn't being used often, we asked him kindly if it could be brought out again, and he was so accommodating and generous to set it up again. That's just one of the many awesome stories we could share about Jordan and his team. He is an amazing person to work and would highly recommend hiring him!

Maryland's DJ was the best DJ we could have ever pictured for our wedding. Not only were they extremely easy to work with, they were helpful to us during such a chaotic time in the world. They went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we wanted for our wedding. They provided all microphones for the ceremony and reception, music for the ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and made announcements throughout the event to make sure everything was flowing exactly as we wanted.

Jordan retrieved drinks for me and my husband the whole time and just did everything to make sure we didn't have to worry about a thing. They included the most fun, open, safe (since we have to think about these sorts of things during this time) photo booth that everyone had such a blast participating in! They even helped us navigate a medical crisis we had at the end of the event.

I could not imagine any of their DJs not providing this exceptional service, as their company is led by a leader with such talent and a high level of standard. Do not wait to book this company for your day!! You will NOT be disappointed!!

Maryland's DJ was fantastic from start to finish. They were extremely fast in responding to my request, beat everyone by at least 30 minutes! Their presentation of who they are and what they do well, and what separates them from other DJ's was clean and crisp.

Steve was a fantastic DJ. We used him for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. We got tons of compliments about the music he was playing and how he was able to keep everyone on the dance floor.

I'd highly recommend using Maryland's DJ!!

DJ was phenomenal, but Maryland’s DJ is not an honest broker

Our DJ (Thiery) was outstanding. Every communication we had leading up to the wedding was professional but also personal. He was flexible about which portions of the wedding we defined completely and which portions he would run autonomously based on our tastes (collected through our phone conversations and the songs we submitted as must-play or by request). He kept people engaged and having fun all night! If you can book Thiery, absolutely do so!!

By contrast, our dealings with Jordan (owner of Maryland’s DJ) were terrible. He did not show up to a scheduled call on 12/20. The DJ we were speaking to at that point (Harvey) reached out to Jordan during that call, and he said he wasn’t able to join but would reach out to us within the week. He never did. But the biggest issue was way our contract was handled. In January, Jordan sent us a contract with a total cost of $3200. We signed the contract and were required to pay 50% upfront, so we immediately sent a check for $1600. The remainder was due 30 days before the wedding, so we again paid $1600 on that date. Several days later, Jordan emailed and said we hadn’t paid our full bill and that we owed $1200. We replied with our contract, showing an agreed price of $3200 and evidence of two payments totaling $3200. Jordan wrote back and claimed that he’d made a mistake in the contract and that it should have been $1200 higher in order to get the photo booth option we’d discussed and which was promised in our contract. We asked him multiple times to uphold his end of the signed contract, and he refused.

If he’d contacted us immediately in January and said, “This payment is not 50% of the total,” we would have had time to consider whether we would accept a contract at $4400. Because Jordan waited until just a few weeks before our wedding, we had no choice but to keep our contract for the DJ but get a photo booth from another vendor. He offered an all-digital photo booth (basically an iPad on wheels) which did not come close to the experience we wanted to provide our guests, nor was it at all close to the service we’d agreed in the contract. I’m glad we didn’t use the inferior option, because we and our guests both had a blast with the full photo booth we procured elsewhere and especially love the printed photo strips. (Side note: the other vendor charged us $600 for what Jordan was trying to charge us $1200 for - so Jordan’s pricing was never reasonable in any way!)

Overall, I am shocked that a vendor would not honor a signed contract that they had, themselves, drafted. It left me feeling very distrustful of Jordan and his company.

I would absolutely hire Thiery again as a DJ, but only if I could book him directly or through another company. I would never do business again with Jordan or Maryland’s DJ.

Brian was great, and he made our slightly eclectic mix of swing/big band songs and millennial nostalgia dance hits really work! That moment after the first dance when he encouraged everyone to head to the dancefloor was incredible and exactly what I wanted out of the evening.

The booking/setup stuff was also very easy to handle and they checked in at regular intervals to make sure everything was going to plan.

Excellent personality, Steve had a perfect balance between attention grabbing DJ with in-tune music while also not stealing the show. I would be happy to book Maryland DJ and especially Steve again for another event!

This company was fantastic from day one, they set up a couple different virtual meetings with my wife and I and we just got a great feeling from them from the start. They are great people to work with. After hearing our music taste, they set us up with DJ Steve Hartka for our wedding and he was AMAZING. We got to make a list of "must play" songs, as well as "do NOT play" songs, and Steve took our music vibes and applied it to the rest of his playlist. We added the photo booth which was a huge hit with us and with the guests. These DJs know how to read the room and play the type of music that will get guests on the dance floor and stay on the dance floor. Thank you for a great event!

Amazing!!!! Best DJ ever

We worked with Jordan for our wedding and my legs are still sore from never having left the dance floor. Jordan was involved in every stage of our planning process and made himself readily available for any questions, concerns, or random additions. He was even prepared for changes we needed to make on the fly, day of during the celebration. He read the room throughout the night and kept the dance floor packed and we couldn't have imagined a more perfect night; due in large part to Jordan and his team. If you need a DJ for an event you have coming up, there is really only one option in Maryland's DJ. The name of the company is fitting because they are by far "THE" Maryland's DJ and not just "A" DJ in Maryland

Where do I begin?! Jordan is above and beyond what you can expect from your wedding DJ. Well before the wedding, we met with Jordan and discussed what we were looking for, what type of genres we wanted covered, and what we expected the overall feel of the wedding to be. Everything was cataloged and noted and he truly listened to every question, comment, and request we had.

A few weeks before the wedding we met with Jordan again to finalize the timeline of the wedding, which specific songs we wanted played or not played, and any last minute details he should note. He took interest in every detail and really wanted this to genuinely be a perfect and free-flowing wedding day for us.

Jordan was available from the moment I reached out to him originally up until the wedding date. He responded to any questions I had quickly and always made me feel comfortable that everything was under control.

With his commanding presence, he MC'd the whole wedding day! He introduced us and our families at the reception, queued the "Hava Nagila" dance to a crowd of almost 160 people, and kept everything moving right along. There wasn't a pause to the dancing! Everyone from my 14 year old cousin to my 75 year old grandma was busting a move on the dance floor.

His song selection and his transitions to other songs were fluid and appealed to everyone (which is what we wanted).

I can't imagine anybody else DJ-ing our wedding. He is organized, communicable, transparent, and just plain fun!

I wouldn't hesitate one more second and just make the best decision for the sake of your wedding day- choose Jordan as your DJ. Plain and simple!

We had an excellent experince with Steven from Maryland's DJ. He did a great job with DJ and MC duty, and also helped us manage the flow of the wedding when we faced some delays and had to move some things around. Our wedding guests also had great things to say about the quality and services provided. Would recommend to others.

We had an incredible experience with Maryland's DJ! Laz and John were outstanding—not only did they excel at reading the crowd, but they were also incredibly kind and personable. Laz expertly handled the timeline and organization, prioritizing our needs over the venue's. They were both punctual and kept the crowd engaged all night long. I couldn't be happier with the service they provided. Thank you for making our event so memorable!

Mike was the perfect choice for our wedding! He made sure to meet with us more than once before our wedding to make sure he knew exactly what we wanted for our special day. He was extremely professional and so easy to work with. The music was everything we imagined for our day and we could not recommend him enough for any wedding or big event!

Maryland DJ was our wedding DJ and it was the best! Steve Hartka was friendly, professional, and had great communication throughout the whole planning process. The online platform was so easy to use and add our favorite songs along with our do not plays. At the reception, Steve kept the party going all night long. He read the room and knew just what to play to get everyone out on the dance floor! I would highly recommend anyone planning a wedding to hire a DJ from here!

Brian was extremely professional and was responsive to all of our wants and requests, im sure if we asked he'd have grabbed us a drink xD He always double checked before we moved on to each and every step of our wedding. I would and will absolutely recommend Brian and MD DJs (Owner Jordan) to anyone who has a party needing a DJ. Thank you Brian for helping to make our night amazing on such short notice for you :)

Steve was absolutely amazing at our wedding a few months ago. He is literally a walking encyclopedia of music information, and he was able to mesh all of our interests (funk, 80-90s R&B, contemporary pop, etc.) into one seamless night that had the entire dance floor packed all night long. We can't recommend Steve enough for being so supportive and accommodating.

He also did our ceremony music, and we were amazed how seamlessly that came together. All in all - Steve's your guy! Thanks for everything, Steve!

Look no further!

For bride and grooms to be - do yourself a favor and look no further, seriously! Jordan was amazing during this entire planning process, he always replied in a timely manner and made every little request I had seem like no biggie and made it happen! Using the portal (which was extremely cool!!) gives you the opportunity to give him a general idea of the type of music you want and keeps things extremely organized...Now more importantly, he had the crowd on the dance floor the ENTIRE time. He is able to read the crowd and deliver. It’s only been two days since the wedding and I’ve gotten so many messages about the DJ and how incredible the music was and ho awesome his lighting work was. If you want the best of the best, you’ve found it.

Kept everyone dancing

This DJ was one of our best choices. He kept everyone dancing all night. They were so organized and did great with our introductions, toasts, and first dances. I’ve already recommended them to many and it’s only been a week since our wedding! We also used them for the photo booth as well which all the guests loved. Only thing is that not all the guests received their photos and those who did received a link that said they were from a holiday party and not our wedding.

But booking this DJ for your next event will be your best decision!!

Maryland's DJ was amazing to work with and Steve did an awesome job at our wedding. Their portal makes it super easy to customize your event and enter all of the event details. We did not have a lot of requests when it came to music, but Steve did a great job just based off of our meetings with choosing music that was a perfect fit for us and all of our guests at our wedding.

We used Maryland’s DJ for our 150-person black tie optional wedding in Washington DC. Services included music (ceremony, cocktail hour, reception), photo booth, and uplights. Everything was flawless. Jordan was our DJ and he was an absolute pro. Music done well has the power to make life feel like a movie and create epic moments and memories. That’s what Jordan delivered for us. Cannot recommend him enough. The photo booth was a huge hit. Totally customizable and looked great.

We had an absolutely fantastic time working with Maryland DJ! We got married this past weekend and had about 140 guests in attendance. We worked with DJ Neil, and he was an absolute professional throughout the day.

Our ceremony went on without a hitch, even with our family friend playing the keyboard at our outside ceremony space with support from Neil. He executed any announcements that we had flawlessly and made sure all of our guests knew exactly what was going on throughout the evening.

When it came to the dance floor, Neil knew exactly how to keep the party going. I am very particular about the music played on the dance floor, and Neil took my playlist and really made it into his own. I felt that all the songs that I wanted to hear were played, and Neil masterfully read the room and played songs that he knew would elevate it to the next level. The dance floor was completely full the entire time, it was truly a wonderful experience.

I would enthusiastically recommend Maryland DJ for your event, they really came through for us! Thanks again Neil!

Perfect DJ for our wedding

Jordan did a fantastic job as the DJ for our wedding. He was easy to communicate with and helped us put together a great mix of songs that kept the dance floor full for the entirety of our reception. We recommend him over and over again to our friends.

After going to multiple weddings with boring, unorganized DJs who played awkward and cringeworthy music, my husband and I knew we wanted better for our wedding. That’s how we found Jordan at Maryland DJ. From our amazing initial meeting, where Jordan mixed our favorite songs into a mini-set list, I knew Jordan was the perfect choice for the fun, energetic wedding we wanted.

Our family and friends have not stopped praising Jordan and our wedding’s music: “that was the best wedding music I’ve ever heard” and “every song he played was perfect”. Jordan kept the dance floor packed all night, including my 3 year old cousin and my 70 year old great aunt. He played one amazing song after another, totally embracing our music tastes.

Jordan also makes the wedding process as smooth as possible. His portal helps plan your ceremony and reception while giving you plenty of suggestions for “must-play” songs, parent dances, first dance songs, etc… At the wedding, he makes sure the ceremony and reception run smoothly through his promptness, his announcements, and his guest interactions. He isn’t corny or cheesy, but he will make sure everyone gets up dancing!

We loved how thoughtful Jordan was through the entire event. He arrived early to the venue and even offered to help my dad and brother set up our chuppah. He checked in with us about 30 minutes before the end of the night to see if there were any last minute songs we still wanted to hear. And, when I put two musical songs on our cocktail hour/dinner playlist, he included some “Hamilton” and “Dear Evan Hanson” which made the night even more special and personalized.

We can never thank Jordan enough for helping make our wedding perfect. If you want the best music and dancing at your wedding, Jordan is the perfect DJ for your event.

Maryland's DJ offered competitive pricing, with mix and match service flexibility, and their DJ was very easy going and great to work with, checking in 30 days before, 1 week before, and helping to give suggestions when I was at a loss for songs.. He also played awesome, NOT CHEESY music at the wedding, which I LOVED! Would definitely hire them again!

We had Steve responsible for our music and he killed it! He had a great line up of songs the whole night. If my husband or I requested a song, Steve had it ready to go next for us. We can’t thank him enough!

Our wedding day could not have come even close to what it was without Steve! Throughout the entire process he was incredibly responsive and accommodating especially when we had to postpone our original date! During our consultation he had our exact style of music to a T, and when it came to the day of he absolutely nailed it! Steve read the crowd from the very start and kept our guests on the dance floor all night, from the very first song to the very last! People of all ages who attended our wedding continue to rave about how much fun they had, and we honestly could not have done it without him! 10000% would recommend hiring him!

Jordan is AWESOME! We had 185 people at our wedding and he handled the crowd with ease. He kept the intros/ and beginning dances on scheduled and got the dance floor rolling right on time. Once we opened the dance floor he had the whole party dancing all night from teenagers to grandparents (even my 82 year old grandma was on the floor dancing to everything from Michael Buble to David Guetta). He played all of the music we requested and added mashup versions to others that were great. Jordan was easily one of the best decisions that we made during the wedding process and we would highly recommend him to anyone!

Thank you Jordan!!

My sole goal in finding the perfect DJ was someone who was open to ideas but had experienced suggestions to make the perfect day. From the very start, Jordan guided us in the right direction.

We got so many compliments on Jordan and he comes highly recommended!

The moment we started working with Jordan and the rest of the team, it was a dream! Professional, kind, creative, and responsive are just a few of the adjectives that come to mind when we think of how fabulous they made our wedding! Jordan took our small list of seemingly random music choices and tied them together into a cohesive and beautiful song list to truly express ourselves as a newly married couple. Now, we are trying to figure out what event we can host to have Jordan and his team DJ again!! Maybe we will just get married again for fun :) Thank you, Jordan, for making our special day even more memorable and perfect!!!!

The first time we met Jordan was to experience him DJ and mixing music live for us. He listened to our likes, dislikes and knew how to transition the songs and make song we thought we liked even cooler! From this experience we had the opportunity to see his amazing talents, most DJs could only dream of. He was always quick to email with follow ups, ideas, and always open to meet. Our goal was to dance the whole time at our reception. Though this is usually unheard of, we asked Jordan for little to no classic songs and to just play what we like. Not only did he get us to dance the whole time but NO ONE (literally no one) left the dance floor from my 15 year old cousins to my 93 year old great aunt. Jordan not only DJed but was an amazingly thoughtful MC. He checked in with us during the night and if there was momentum on the dance floor he asked us if we wanted to do what was scheduled for that time or keep the party going. Jordan also took care of the equipment we needed for the ceremony which was a huge help knowing that we could get everything we needed from one vendor we trusted. Jordan made our wedding exactly how we envisioned it being and I would hire him for any big event I have. He is thoughtful, professional and undoubtedly talented.

Super reliable

Jordan was an amazing DJ, totally accommodating to all of our weird and fun music requests and it was so nice to have someone familiar with our venue and knew exactly what needed to be done with lighting to make our plan B ceremony look beautiful despite the rain. I didn't have to worry about a thing, he was super thorough when running through the plan with us which even helped me get a good grasp of what to expect.

I had Maryland's DJ for my wedding last weekend and they totally rocked it. We got a lot of compliments that night for the music mixes and the energy. Brian was a lot of fun to work with, at one point some during the reception guest were slowing down a bit but he was able to get everyone excited and dancing again in no time.

I knew several years before my wedding that I wanted to work with Maryland’s DJ after seeing them at a friend’s wedding so I’m so happy they were available and there to make my big day so memorable!

Maryland's DJs — we worked with Jordan and Steve — was the best decision we made for our wedding! They were incredibly easy to work with, kept everyone dancing all night long, and were a huge piece of making our wedding day everything we dreamed of. Do not hesitate picking Maryland's DJs for your wedding — you won't regret it!!

The way Marylands DJs works is that after an introductory meeting, we were paired with a DJ that they think will be a good fit for you. Brian did an amazing job for our wedding! He did both the ceremony and reception for us. The online tool they use to coordinate your music choices really makes it easy to communicate what you want without having to have a bunch of meetings. We had one final details meeting a few days before our wedding day and Brian hit the nail on the head with what we were looking for. Our guests had a fantastic time on the dance floor and people you would never expect to see out dancing were absolutely letting loose!

Steve was an amazing DJ!! We had so many compliments afterwards telling us how much fun everyone had and how the DJ was perfect! Once the music started- so did the dancing and that never stopped. I am bias since it was my wedding but I haven't been to another wedding where the dance floor was packed the whole entire time! Steve listened to all of our needs and made sure the music line-up was flawless!

Unfortunately I'm going to be extremely biased in my review, as Steve is a personal friend of mine in the Baltimore DJ scene. He did an absolutely amazing job, especially considering I didn't even touch the portal or log in once (sorry!) but provided him with a run of show and song selection a few days before. He was super easygoing the day of, especially considering I'm a DJ myself and had a lot of in-the-moment requests/updates to the run of show- he did great and went with the flow! I had my brothers singing our first dance song live, and plugging them in with mics and 1/4 inch jacks for their instruments was no sweat for Steve! He went off-list when it mattered to keep the dance floor alive, and I don't think there was a moment when it died at ALL (and again, as a DJ myself that's the most important part!) Everyone has told me it was the most fun reception they've ever been to- and I know that's because of the music- so A+ for Steve, give him a raise, a promotion- everything! :)

We were so happy we went with Jordan to be our DJ for our wedding reception this past August in Annapolis.

*He plays great music and made the songs personalized to our reception. Definitely check out some of his videos.

*He is so professional, very experienced, and friendly.

*He was a calming and reassuring presence for us during the reception. He kept close track of the order of events and reminded us where we needed to be and when.

*The website to choose songs is very easy to use.

*Affordable.

Hands down the best money you’ll spend

I don’t even know where to start. Steve undoubtedly made our wedding night the amazing party that it was. My husband and I have a wide variety when it comes to taste in music. Steve found a way to play everything we wanted at the perfect time. They’re planning portal made it super easy to make sure Steve knew exactly what we wanted and didn’t want played.

When it came time to dancing, I don’t think there was ever a time that the dance floor was empty. I still don’t have a voice from all the singing we did. Everyone keeps telling us that it was the most fun they’ve had in a long time and that Steve was the best DJ! He even got my dad to dance which If you knew him, you’d know is no small feat.

All in all, our wedding day was absolutely perfect and the party we dreamed of- all thanks to Steve and Maryland’s DJ.

Best Dance Floor Ever!

We decided to go with Maryland DJ after having a fantastic introductory call with the owner Jordan Solender. We booked DJ Mike Q for our wedding date and had access to easy planning tools to where we could add different "must play" and "do not play" songs. Sadly Mike Q ended up getting covid the Friday before the wedding, but Maryland DJ also always has an unscheduled DJ on staff in case something comes up and DJ Neil was able to fill in beautifully! He made the dance floor come alive, and we received so much praise from guests about the DJ's song choices. It was hands down the best dance floor I've seen at a wedding, and Maryland DJ was a major part in making that happen. Would definitely recommend Maryland DJ and DJ Neil!

Best Day Ever!

What Jordan did for our wedding day is speechless! From day one he gave us the feeling that he was dedicated to making our day the best day we could ever imagine. It was crazy how after a simple 5 minute phone call he was able put together a demo session that had us geeked for our special day! Jordan is more than just a DJ, he helped us find the best photographer a couple could ask for, he added touches to our wedding we never would have thought of on our own, he brought a large group of people from all over the world to one dance floor for what felt like the best dance party ever. We could go on and on about how awesome of a DJ Jordan is. Bottom line, make the right decision to hire the best DJ, DJ Jordan!
