Wedding DJ Client Reviews
Erin C. on December 28, 2017 -- "Continuously exceeded our expectations!" (Warrenton, Virginia wedding DJ services and live wedding ceremony music) -- From the first time we reached out to Steven through to our wedding day, he continuously exceeded our expectations. Steven was by far my most responsive vendor, answering questions quickly, bringing ideas and questions to our attentions that I had not thought of, and very flexible around our schedule and vision for the event. We had him perform live music during our ceremony and cocktail hour, and then Steven DJ-ed for the reception. All our guests absolutely loved the live music. I received multiple compliments on the performance. Steven continued the positive vibes through dinner and into dancing as our emcee. We had outlined a general timeline of events the week prior. He definitely helped everything move along as smoothly as possible which included navigating some hiccups caused by our venue. He was always checking in on us and our family to make sure we were happy with everything he was playing. Even though our wedding was a midday brunch, he still got people out on the dance floor. Overall a beautiful job by Steven. It was a pleasure to work with them and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to add some flare to your event. Thank you Steven!
Phil L. on December 3, 2017 -- "Wouldn’t have been the same without Captital DeeJays" We had Steven DeeJay for our wedding. He ran sound for our ceremony, and reception (mics, music, lights, he did it all), and everything came together seemingly like magic. From step one he was extremely easy to work with. Making playlists and sharing them with him was simple. He was very flexible and open to meeting and discussing what we wanted for the different parts of our reception (cocktail, dinner, dancing). His setup at the event was perfect, and transitions between the different parts seamless. The best part wasn’t just that the music and mood came together perfectly, but that he regularly checked in with us throughout the process and made sure everything was running smoothly, working with us and the venue the whole night, even offering to grab me a beer during pictures! He was a huge help and major stress relief during the whole process. The event would not have been the same with him. I would highly recommend Capital DeeJays for weddings, and any other DeeJay needs.
James W. on November 22, 2017 The whole night went very smoothly! (DJ for Bluemont, Virginia wedding) Steven from Capital DeeJays provided the music for my daughter's wedding in Loudoun County. He was professional, courteous, and played an appropriate mix of music for dinner and dancing, bringing family and guests of all ages to the dance floor. He also provided lighting to set the right ambiance, and did a great job MCing everything all night. The whole night went very smoothly, thanks in no small part to Steven's top-notch service. I would strongly recommend Steven and Capital DeeJays for weddings and other important events.
Christine G. on October 15, 2017 "Everything was absolutely flawless." (DJ for Savage, Maryland wedding) Steve was great! He went above and beyond his duties as a DJ! He knew what music to play and when and everything was absolutely flawless. I recommend him to anyone that wants everything to go perfectly. Can't thank him enough!
Colleen S. on October 3, 2017 "Steven is your guy." (DJ for Herndon, Virginia wedding) Steven played at our wedding last week and he was amazing. He DJ'ed our reception, played guitar during cocktail hour, and his Irish trio performed during our ceremony. Everything was perfect. He was so accommodating and flexible and knowledgeable. I loved being able to provide my own playlist for dancing, and loved that he could fill in and suggest songs for when I didn't know what would work best. He was also a great emcee, announcing our entrance and first dance and all the rest. During the lead up to the wedding, he was always easy to get in touch with and quick to respond. He even DJ'ed an extra hour for us when I decided the morning of the wedding that I wanted the reception to go a little later. Whether you need ceremony musicians or a DJ, Steven is your guy. I can't recommend him enough!
Katelyn M. on September 24, 2017 "The perfect fit" (DJ for Orange, Virginia wedding) -- Steven was the perfect fit for out outdoor Virginia wedding in the woods. We couldn't decide between a DJ and live musician and with Steven, we found both! He worked with us to figure out exactly what we wanted for each part of our day. His level of experience with weddings, in particular, was immediately evident as he asked us questions that we had never even thought about. Steven played live music during our ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner. He also played the song for our first dance and learned a new song the processional. As a DJ, he took all of our requests and made sure that he had the exact level of involvement that we desired. He even provided lighting that turned our barn dancefloor into a real party. Steven was also incredibly kind and courteous to us as a couple and to our guests. We received numerous compliments on the music and many people specifically enjoyed the music played during cocktail hour and dinner.
Frank H. on September 18, 2017 -- "Highly Recommended!" (DJ for Shady Side, Maryland wedding) -- Stephen really worked with us from the beginning and helped us shape the reception. He played acoustic music for our ceremony and cocktail hour, then switched into DJ and karaoke mode for the rest of the night. He's a pleasure to work with and comes highly recommended.
Madison L. on July 26, 2017 "Extremely rare to have a DJ care this much!" (DJ for Leesburg, Virginia wedding) -- Steven was so amazing to work with! He was so kind and offered us an amazing deal! We got him to play for cocktail hour and I would definitely recommend that! He is an amazing musician and added a really cool environment for our guests while we were taking all our pictures! We didn't have to worry about a thing! He even came to our walk though before the wedding to make sure we were all up to date on information and to make sure he could set up in the best place possible! Its extremely rare to have a DJ care about an event that much, and seeing how much he cared about our wedding was one of the main reasons for our five star review! For the reception he provided a great atmosphere for dinner and great music for dancing! I would definitely hire him for his professionalism and quality, but also for his kindness! Thank you so much Steven!!
Chris O. on June 15, 2017 "Completely professional!" (DJ for Washington, D.C. wedding) -- Steve was completely professional and worked with me to structure his services perfectly for our wedding. Everything was smooth and I never had to worry -- which was awesome.
Liz T. on March 22, 2017 - "Above and beyond!" (DJ for Washington D.C. wedding) -- Throughout the night, Steven worked with us to make sure the right songs were getting played at the right moments, and that our timeline was being followed along with the music. But he still made it easy and fun and all a part of the celebration. He brought lighting as well that looked great in our reception space. They definitely go above and beyond to make sure your day is perfect for you, but most importantly, they make it fun!

Adrian P. on June 4, 2017 "Kids gravitated to him!" (DJ for Severna Park, Maryland kids party) -- Steven was excellent with our party of 3-5 th grade kids at our Club. He was extremely prompt with his correspondences, and made sure to prep for the party with age appropriate songs for tweens, responding to our requests by individually going through songs to weed out inappropriate ones. He was so timely and organized before party. He was great at getting almost all kids of different ages to dance a LOT to his mixes, literally with their hands in the air. Kids gravitated to him, and they listened to him. He was commanding but so sweet. His high point was that he had great mixes of songs, was able to get kids to dance like maniacs, and his DJ style was perfect. No hesitation to use again. He accomplished a very hard task. Thank you so much!
