DJ D-Mac

DJ D-Mac always brings an eclectic, party-rocking mix of tunes to his DJ sets, where genres meet in the most unexpected ways.

Get your hands in the air as Marvin Gaye sidles up to Daft Punk while Lizzo and Pharrell get comfortable together and Rihanna waits in the wings to twirl around The Smiths.

D-Mac started bringing this fresh approach to weddings in 2004, performing at just a few events by word-of-mouth referrals. His unique ability to combine pop and underground sensibilities, an audio engineer’s understanding of equipment and the organizational skills of an expert event planner place him in a category all his own. And as demand for his services grew, D-Mac assembled an equally talented and passionate crew. We’ll turn your event into a night to remember!

Ever the vinyl devotee, DJ D-Mac brought analog disco vibes on the incredible custom sound system at French Canadian bistro Le Mont Royal in Adams Morgan in NW DC until January 2026.

“Daryle was our DJ for our big day and he was absolutely amazing to work with!! He communicated with us throughout the entire wedding planning process, understood our vibes/taste in music (Rap, HipHop, Latin music, etc). The day of the wedding he introduced us for our grand entrance, speeches, cut our music for our first dances, listened to the crowd, and was just truly SO MUCH FUN. We danced the entire night away. We highly recommend Daryle!!!”
