PRIVATE EVENTS

Steve & Catharine (06/07/2008)

We wanted to let you know how much we loved the music at the wedding. Everyone we've talked to had a great time, and every single guest keeps mentioning how great you were. We had so much fun that we spent practically all night on the dancefloor...which will probably be evidenced by some really sweaty and swampy pictures!
The cake cutting and first dances were great, and we particularly appreciated your deft handling of the impromptu nephews' dance routine. It was the perfect time to do it, the kids were really excited about it, and it made a lot of sense to break into that before opening up the floor. The whole night just flowed great, you had a good sense of who was on the dancefloor and kept it jumping with an eclectic set.
We also really enjoyed the dinner mix, it was perfect! Again, we got a lot of positive feedback on the dinner music.  Thank you for tracking down some of those tunes and for compiling the whole thing.
Thanks again for everything. You did an amazing job, and we can't imagine the music going over any better. You were very professional and dependable, you got a real sense of what we were looking for, and you delivered a totally unique and memorable night.

Lowrey & Leif (05/10/2008)

Our experience with DJ D-Mac was awesome. From the first meeting (at a bar near U Street he was spinning at), we knew his music taste and chill vibe were perfect for us. Working with him to develop our playlist and planning the logistics of the event couldn't have been easier or more pleasant. He was able to work effortlessly within the venue restrictions to make sure our catered dinner had music. But when the dancing started up was when he really shined. The music was a great mix of contemporary and older stuff (Jackson Five etc.) and it kept people dancing and having a great time all night. We're still getting comments on how fun the event was, and a huge part of that is due to Daryle.

Patti & Ed (04/19/2008)

DJ D-Mac provided the perfect soundtrack to a perfect evening.  He kept everyone dancing for 3 hours straight: everyone from my drunk friends, to my 3-year-old flower girl, to my older relatives. My mom said, "I knew I should be talking to family, but I could not stop dancing." His additions to our playlist were incredible, he reads the crowd and knows what will please them. He is professional, he listened to the vibe we wanted and delivered, and he provided an intangible quality to the evening that made the reception "cool" (as cheesy as that sounds). We highly, highly recommend him and thank him for making our reception awesome.

Jeff & Brian (04/26/2008)

Now that we've finally recovered from the excitement of last weekend, we want to thank you for all you did to make our celebration a success. Never before have we seen so many people enjoying themselves on a dance floor for so long. It was truly amazing and a testament to your skill and enthusiasm. We also appreciate all you did to incorporate our own musical interests and tastes into the playlist, which made the evening more special.

Carol's Birthday Party (01/12/2008)

John and I wanted to thank you for making my birthday party one of the best times of our lives.

Jen & Bobby (10/13/2007)

DJ D-Mac did a wonderful job at our 10/13/07 wedding!  My parents insisted on full music control (eek!) and Motown was the theme.  Not only did he play everything they wanted, he also managed to play our choices.  The dance floor was packed from the first dance.  He was diplomatic in his selections and made sure the beats flowed.  We highly recommend him for all types of events.  Your guests will always have a good time if he's the DJ.

Laura & Shane (10/27/2007)

Thank you so much for doing such a phenomenal job at our wedding! I've never seen so many people from so many different age groups on one dance floor! The guests are still talking about how great the music was. You completely exceeded our expectations and it was great to have a DJ who could actually spin! Thank you for making our wedding such a blast!

Melissa & Alex (09/22/2007)

We were thrilled to have Daryle as our wedding DJ in September. He made such an effort prior to the event to understand our preferences and the tone of the event, and to overcome the logistical challenges we faced at the venue. Above all, we wanted our guests to have fun and dance all night--Daryle read the crowd extremely well, and kept the dance floor full all night long. At the end of the night, after the planned last song, our guests were not ready to stop dancing and begged for one more--Daryle graciously played a few more songs to wrap up the evening. People (including our photographer!) are still telling us that they had never had that much fun at a wedding.

Rob & Deirdre (09/29/2007)

Quite simply, Daryle did an awesome job with the music at our wedding. He was great leading up to the wedding, both in terms of making himself available, as well as making sure everyone was on the same page about the type of music we wanted. He was great right before the wedding -- putting together a perfect mix of music for the cocktail hour, and working with us on announcements and (hard to find) music for the mother/son dance.  And, most important, he was great during the wedding. Daryle does a great job of picking music that gets people on the dance floor, keeps them on the dance floor, and makes sure they are excited and interested the whole time. It is obvious that Daryle loves music -- if you want that sentiment to be reflected in your wedding, we cannot imagine recommending anyone more highly.

Jen & Kevin (09/01/2007)

Thank you so much for being such an amazing DJ at our Sept. 1 wedding at Hillsborough Vineyards! You seriously did such a great job... We had so many compliments on your skills and mix of tunes.

Mindy & Dave (07/22/2007)

We didn't care if the flowers or the outfits matched. We cared about the music. We lucked out with Daryle. He was professional when we needed him to be and funky all the time. He went through considerable trouble to attain a special cut just for us, and then rolled with it when I was no where to be found when it was time to play it. I would say that he was the best DJ we could've hoped for and if someone is lucky enough to get him for their wedding, I bet they will feel the same way. I remember reading testimonials from other happy couples about how their wedding guests kept telling them he was the best dj ever. We got that too. DJ D-mac is just gonna make the whole thing that much cooler.

Jonathan & Jael (6/23/2007)

We didn't want a "wedding DJ"; we wanted an awesome DJ who just happened to be spinning at our wedding. And we got exactly what we wanted. You got everyone on their feet right after our first dance, and their chairs sat empty the rest of the night. I never knew we had so many dancers in the family. And by extrapolating from our tastes to throw in some lesser-known but just-as-groovy tunes, thanks for making us look cool by association!

---

Abby & Jim (05/06/2007)

Thank you so much for providing such an outstanding dance party at our wedding! With the crowd of discerning indie rockers, it was surprising to  see so many with their hands in the air boogying rather than the fixed  arms-crossed stance with a head nod that we're so used to. I have heard  'Best DJ Ever!' more than a few times since our day.  It was apparent that  your mix was thoughtful and stayed in tune with the going vibe.  I  appreciated your defense of our music tastes when requests were inconsistent with our preferences.  Although we do not plan on having to get married  again, we are thinking of events where we can and will use your services.
Highest recommendations from a very picky couple.

Seth & Jade (06/18/2006)

Daryle and Neal really came through for us. Theyplayed the perfect balance of Jazz and Brazilianbackground music during dinner, then pulled out allthe stops and fired up the dance floor. We wantedsomething more than the typical wedding DJs, and theydelivered. Everybody was out dancing to a perfect mixof of Soul, Funk, Motown, Rock, and 80's classics. Wenever had to do YMCA or the Macarena (cheers to that).We ended up staying at the site an extra 2 hours, andwould have stayed longer if the caterers could havecleaned up around us. Definitely the best party we'veever thrown. Thanks guys.

Justine & Michael (06/10/2006)

Thank you so much, Daryle, for doing a great job at our wedding! Itwas an awesome mix of pop, rock, hip-hop, funk and other classics, which everyone enjoyed. Thanks again!

---

Erin & AC (09/24/05)

I would definitely recommend D-Mac for anyone's wedding! we had such a blast at ours. He played great music for the younger crowd and kept the older folks dancing until the wee hours. I've used D-Mac since then a few times at my office's holiday parties. He's just wonderful.

---

Kelly & Dan (09/24/06)

We wanted to thank you for doing such a great job at our wedding!  The music was awesome and all of our guests kept commenting about how great the DJ was!
Thanks for setting up the music at the cocktail hour, especially since it was so last minute.  Everyone had such an awesome time and they still talk about "our dance"! 

---

Elena & Todd (06/17/06)

Thanks very much for all your help and the wonderful music. A fab time was had by all.

---

Deb & Ryan (05/27/06)

Thank you again for doing such an amazing job at our wedding! everyone had a blast and you got lots of compliments from our guests.

---

Jessica & John (06/24/06)

We can't thank you enough for the fantastic job you did at our wedding. It made me so happy to look up and see a packed dance floor all night long. It was perfect and we're still getting 'great dj' comments.

---

Monica & Brendan (10/15/05)

The music was very very important to my husband and me, and one of the aspects of the wedding that we paid for ourselves, and D-Mac did an excellent job.

---

Tribute to Terry McAuliffe (02/10/05)

The DNC's "Tribute to Terry McAuliffe" required just the right mix -- beats that got young staffers on the dance floor, wrapped in sounds that the traditional crowd would embrace. DJ D-Mac and his crew delivered all night long, and kept the National Building Museum grooving well past our scheduled wrap-time.
