All I can say is WOW. This man knows his stuff…read more A few years ago, my then-wife and I took a rec and ed course on basic ballroom dancing that was taught by Dorian. He has clear passion for dancing and for sharing his amazing gift with others. He also has the right ATTITUDE to be an effective instructor. Patient, understanding, knowing how to work with "room temperature IQ" types who are "legends in their own minds", and effectively dealing with Fred Astaire wannabes with two left feet, Dorian gave all the people in the class COMPETENCE and CONFIDENCE, when it was clear that he was so, so, so much better than those in the class. I simply cannot give a stronger recommendation to this outstanding teacher. He is a fabulous dancer with loads of talent but makes everyone feel that they are making good progress. If I had to select just one person to teach me ballroom dancing for an important event (holiday party, wedding, etc.), I would entrust that awesome responsibility to Dorian Deaver. It is similar to recruiting Michael Jordan or LeBron James to teach a basic high school basketball clinic. Damn! You simply cannot do better. Recommend heartily! -------------- Disclosure: I did not receive anything (not even a pair of stinky socks) for submitting this review. Other than being a former student, I have no connection with Mr. Deaver. Good luck!

Weeks after our wedding, guests are still commenting about one thing... Not the food. Or, the…read moreflowers. Or, how beautiful the ceremony was. They are commenting about the DJ! And, one word in particular comes up again and again: FABULOUS! My husband and I could not agree more! We were paired up with our DJ, Abay Israel, by DJ DC Productions. Before we even talked about music, Abay wanted to talk about us. We met with him well in advance of our event, and the majority of our one-hour meeting focused on my husband and I as a couple, who we are as people, who are friends are, who will be attending the wedding, and the overall feel that we want to create. In discussing our needs for ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, Abay was extremely knowledgeable about our venue and what type of sound amplification we would need. After our initial meeting, we kept in communication with Abay via phone and email, and we felt comfortable and confident that we were in very capable hands. Additionally, he communicated in advance directly with our ceremony musicians to arrange their sound needs as well, which I consider another mark of DJ DC Production's professionalism and service. When discussing our goals for the evening, we made one thing clear: We wanted a party! Abay delivered just that and so much more!! We provided song suggestions via the DJ website, but when it came down to it, Abay read the crowd and delivered on every level - Keeping the crowd dancing and pumping them up with the help of his hype man, Jamall Bufford. I would recommend Abay, Jamall, and the DJ DC Productions crew to anyone looking for a fantastic and professional DJ! I wish we could live that night over again! - - It was truly a BLAST! THANK YOU, DJ DC Productions!

Hands down the best money I spent on my daughters wedding! Derrick and Maxx are unbelievable…read more These guys are true professionals. They communicate well with the client, other vendors and with each other. The day of the event was smooth and the reception was just plain fun. My daughter and son-in-law loved them, my husband and I loved them and our guest loved them. Their website is great and they help you pick the music for different stages of the event. Then once the music for entrances, formal dances, etc. were picked with left the rest up to the professionals and we were not disappointed. These guys know how to read a crowd and keep the party going. If you what to have a great party that your guest will be talking about well after the event I suggest you hire DJ DC Productions, LLC.

From start to finish, he was completely attentive to all our needs and went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was everything we dreamed of. Mike facilitated every major moment seamlessly, from our grand entrance to the last dance. He kept the entire event on track and flowing effortlessly and took so much stress off our shoulders, allowing us to simply enjoy the moment. What stood out most was how kind, caring, and genuinely invested Mike was in making our wedding perfect. He truly listened to our vision and brought it to life. The music was absolutely spot-on--exactly what we wanted--and kept the party going strong all night! Mike also offered fantastic input and creative ideas that really elevated the experience. The photo booth was a huge hit with our guests, and the lighting was nothing short of incredible. It felt like we were at a high-end dance club--the lights even matched the vibe of each song, adding so much energy to the dance floor. Guests were literally asking us for his contact info by the end of the night, which speaks volumes. If you want someone who will go above and beyond, treat your celebration like it's his own, and create a truly unforgettable experience, look no further. If you need a DJ for any event, do not hesitate--hire Mike. You will not be disappointed!

His set up was beautiful and looked so well put together at our venue and his recommendations for keeping the energy and party going were excellent.

Meetings ahead were professional and super easy to communicate, we set up playlists and added songs over a few months for Justin to collect and mix a few weeks prior.

We sent Luke a long list of songs we loved and he was accessible in the months leading up to the wedding, helped us pull-off a perfect party. Luke had our friends and family dancing all night long playing all genres and making the dance floor the center of our wedding which is what we wanted. He nailed all the introductions and kept us on schedule never missing a beat. This guy knows what song to play when!

Also, our friends will bombard you with requests and they'll only get worse as the night goes on. Please accommodate what they want." He pulled it off! Plus he was super nice. For example, Aaron checked the total time of our playlist and planned ahead to cut some songs short so we could hear as many as possible. He was exactly what we wanted and we highly recommend him!

From start to finish, throughout our wedding planning process, Amy and her team exceeded our expectations. In the months leading up, Amy checked in via email, and we had a few video meetings to go over necessary details. Amy is so personable and friendly! Every chat felt like a conversation with an old friend -- yet she demonstrated the utmost professionalism. As far as tasks go, Amy is proactive, extremely detail-oriented, and always seems to be one step ahead. With my busy schedule, this is something that I really appreciated. During my wedding week, I met Amy's team, and they were just as awesome! Our day-of coordinator, Jenni-Elise, was an absolute godsend!!! Her and her assistant, Tori, did an amazing job of making sure that everything ran smoothly, and that every detail was taken care of. Of course, there were a few random mishaps (example: we were short 3 floral arrangements), but Jenni and Tori handled everything and made sure that I had nothing to worry about on my big day. Plus, they were such a blast to hang out with!! I am SO grateful that they were there with me on the most important day of my life! Our wedding was beyond perfect because of them. :) We will cherish these memories forever. THANK YOU so much, Amy, Jenni, and Tori!

I'd recommend you add on their light package as well. The girls were really into them and the DJs kept the girls involved with lots of games and their favorite music.

Our school parent board uses StarTrax for the kids events and I have to say these guys are better and much less expensive.

The people in the office are very nice and helpful through the process of choosing your professionals for your wedding day, making payments, pre-wedding planning, post-wedding music selections... they were great on everything! We hired 2 wedding photgraphers and a videographer. They arrived at the location for pre-wedding pictures on time (actually they were early). They gave us very good direction during the photo/video session. In the house we were getting ready they even moved stuff around to make sure we would have great pictures. On the phone conversation with Ilze, our main photographer, I explained to her the big problem I have about having my eyes closed in most pictures. She listened and made sure to check that she had good shots with my eyes open. She was also very efficient through formal family and romantic pictures to make sure we could have the pictures done within our short time frame ( a bit over 1 hour). She was very friendly and the pictures turned out amazing!! Tracy, our second photographer, also did an amazing job! She took great shots of the guys before the cerimony. I also loved how well she captured the details of the decoration in the reception venue.. the centerpieces, the guest book, the cake, the gift table... all the details we spend so much time planning but we barely get to enjoy during the wedding and now we can remember them forever through her pictures. Patruck was our videographer, he was also very nice, from the phone conversation till the end of the wedding. We still didn't receive our wedding video, but i am 100% sure it will be amazing just like everything that Mike Staff have done.
