Andrew Larris and DJ John Carmichael elevated the event to levels that I was unaware a wedding could reach. There was not one person sitting at the party when dance music was playing. Everyone was dancing and having an amazing time and they did it without cheesy props or annoying gimmicks. The 01 handled everything from lighting to a photo booth all while maintaining this classy atmosphere of fun and excitement. By the end of the reception, there was not a dry eye in the house. The 01 Music is responsible for taking a magical day and making it something even more amazing. Music selection was perfect for the crowd. Andrew and John seem to really enjoy what they do and it shows in their work. The 01 performed way above expectations and I really appreciate that they made this event so special for me and my family!

The had every person on the dance floor the entire night, across all ages. Andrew provides MC where he is literally dancing and singing into a mic on the dance floor all night with everyone, keeping the hype insanely high. People absolutely flocked to him. That man's energy is so contagious you can't help but have a blast. John as the DJ hit the nail on the head SONG AFTER SONG. Just when you thought you were to tired to keep dancing and wanted a break, he would play another song you just couldn't resist staying for. More than once I saw groups of people run screaming to the dance floor to sing their hearts out and dance when a certain song came on. They made our night perfect. I had several guests get their contact info at the wedding, I would recommend to ANYONE looking for the best DJ around to make their wedding or event the night of their lives. I have been to dozens of wedding and never seen something this entertaining, even better than a band, you have no idea how incredible they will make your event.

I appreciated his effort in making sure the schedule of the wedding day was clear as well as the pronunciations (we are Hispanic so we had some challenging names and made a great effort with the names). He was very reassuring to us and gave us a sense that everything was under control. He was very open to song choices for the entire day - we dance quite a bit (salsa) so we had quite a bit of of song choices in our minds that we wanted played. I gave him a thumb drive with desired songs and asked him to mix in those songs with whatever songs he saw that flowed well. To my delight, he played just about every song on our request list throughout the day! I didn't even have to give him a "do not play" list. He did not disappoint. His setup is also top notch. He brings along free standing mics, lapel mics and ensures that the sound in the ceremony is good as well as afterwards. We had a special salsa instructional class after dinner and Chris was very willing to work with the instructor to start/stop songs during the instruction. Overall, I found Chris to be excellent. Very professional and ensured that communication with the celebrant, caterers, etc., was effective.

Please extend my greatest appreciation to the entirety of your team. The moment I met you, I knew you came with a top notch team and that was displayed at every juncture of the timeline within which we worked together.

We could not recommend Howie and NYX highly enough. All of our friends immediately want him to DJ their next event!

We hired DJ Bryan George very shortly after finding our venue as his reviews were so good and we…read morewere not disappointed. Bryan worked with us up until the wedding, checking-in and answering any questions we had in the year leading up. We chose the DJ package with lighting and then ended up adding on the strings for the ceremony & cocktail a few months later. Bryan provided planning documents that made it easy to share the vision for the vibe of our wedding. The strings were absolutely perfect and had a great modern collection. Our DJ on the day of the wedding was Ramses who was WONDERFUL! Guests raved about the music and his energy was immaculate. He did such a great job MC-ing without being too cheesy and kept everyone on the dance floor. The lighting made our room look even more beautiful! I would 100% recommend them to anyone!

PLEASE READ, ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE PLANNING EVENTS INCLUDING YOUTH!…read more Crushing Colonialism, a nonprofit based in DC, used Washington Talent Agency (WTA) for two nights full of major international hybrid in-person and livestream events in May and June 2025. They made promises they couldn't keep and the quality of work was awful. They were horrendous at communication. The worst incident that occurred was p0rn being played by some hateful viewers during our live stream because they didn't follow our instructions to deny mic, camera, and chat access for viewers. The person we originally spoke with, Sam, seemed incredibly friendly and excited to support our organization. He said that they could do the work that we required and they worked with our very limited budget. We were so excited to move forward with WTA. We hired them to do photography, videography, and hybrid/live-streaming during two nights of international events. We had many higher level needs that were clearly expressed to them in numerous meetings, emails, and contracts, which included zooming in a couple or speakers, spotlighting ASL interpreters in the live stream, playing films in the zoom livestream as opposed to a camera fixed on the screen in the theater, and ensuring that viewers were easily able to access our language interpreters. They did almost none of this. They were also supposed to give us a high-quality video copy of the events and they didn't. We had to spend a great deal on an editor who could only correct so much. There were plans to use some of the footage for a documentary and WTA knew that. Their volume settings were incorrect in the zoom so people watching the zoom weren't able to hear things properly at the higher quality the in-person audience experienced. The photographer was pretty good, but there were so many photos that weren't taken during one night of performances. Our organization and the communities we serve have been denied an important part of our archival efforts to preserve our culture. The person assigned to our event wouldn't respond to anyone's emails or phone calls, including our language coordinator, who said that the primary reason we had so many problems with language access during the event was because WTA wouldn't respond to emails. As a result, the required coordination between all parties didn't occur. BUT THE WORST is that they didn't set the zoom link to private for the viewing public, despite being told repeatedly that they had to do this for fear of hate speech or other inappropriate and harmful actions occurring. Well, that happened, including people playing p0rn in the livestream. Our events included youth. No one at WTA had the decency to contact anyone at the organization after this happened. I had to contact Sam and tell him everything that went wrong, including his person making some rude and unprofessional comments about our event, including that he told others at WTA to not accept our event. I asked for a 50% refund, which frankly we should've been given a full refund since they didn't meet their contractual obligation and caused significant harm to online event viewers and our organization's reputation. But Sam refused to even ask his boss. Not only did they rip us off and mistreat us, but we're still heartbroken regarding how much our communities lost because of their incompetence, carelessness, and awful behavior.

"They do not pay their workers" -I was hired as a dancer at their events. First day on the job I…read morewas told I would be in training.The event began at 6pm and was to go on until 10pm. I applied weeks ago and only received one email that I would be hired after a quick phone call interview. I waited for days , never heard from the guy. He goes by MC Tee as seen under the profiles of MCs. I decided to give him a ring since I knew the event was coming up on Saturday the day before Easter even though I was to be out of town for family I was really dedicated to my job and wanted to make a good impression. He picked up and stated that he totally forgot about me and sending me the info to the party. He said call time was at 5pm At this time it was 4:30pm (sheesh) and all the way in Reston Va. I told him I'll do my best and be there at 6pm He said perfect. I arrived at the location 6pm.I texted and called him several times for the room number. Never got it. The hotel staff kindly directed me to the party room. I saw MC Tee on stage and he didn't acknowledge me until almost 7 pm. No training no plan no nothing I just jumped in and started dancing and entertaining. During half-time One of the dancers quit and left home early for reasons unknown to me. They kept that on the low on purpose. I was told by Mc Tee that since he left I would get his tip which was $50 He took it out his wallet handed to Mc Tee and he handed it to me. I was then told I'd be bumped up from trainee at $75 per event to full time which is $150 for that day. So that would mean I would be compensated a total of $200 for the night correct? Wrong. I went all night in high heels all black because I wasn't told what to properly wear at this event. Mc Tee laughed it off while I was in discretionary pain all night. I learned the dance moves on my own and integrated with the kids all night. I was also told by Mc Tee to shut the Vendors down during critical times during the ceremony (which is not my job) He kept yelling at them on the mic. There was so much drama the whole night I stuck it out and completed my services. He did not pay me by end of night So I only went home with a tip. When I woke up next morning I found $$75 in my cashapp wallet. Huh? Wheres my remaining $75. I did this company a solid and all I got was threats insults and name calling from MC Tee refusing to pay me. I will never work for this company again It's rude abusive and they do not pay their workers. I was even told my "tip" was included in compensation lol They are nuts I am highly disappointed after helping them out and will be seeking legal counsel to get my remaining monies.Rude Disgusting and Lazy Do not hire Mc Tee!

It's frankly a delight to offer a review of Night and Day, a jazz combo led by Mike Suser. See:…read morehttp://www.nightanddaymusic.com/ Night and Day performed at my wife's birthday party (a significant date), providing a high degree of musicianship in their rendition of "standards" and songs from the Great American Songbook. We engaged Night and Day for a private party at a lovely Capitol Hill restaurant (Ninella) and wanted an ensemble that would amplify the elegance we hoped to achieve for our party. Throughout the evening, Night and Day furnished that elegant touch, understated and balanced, and demonstrated why hiring professionals (who know each other and have worked together) makes a real difference. We were treated to vocals from Renée Tannenbaum, who certainly charmed our guests and helped create the atmosphere we hoped to achieve for our friends. I note that Night and Day also rehearsed with one member of our party a song (As Time Goes By) and troubled themselves to get a copy of the song in advance, arranged as our party member intended to sing it. We would recommend Night and Day to others, would certainly engage them again if the occasion arose, and would welcome hearing them perform at one of DC's local venues.

Upon my first meeting with him,…read moreTristan was so friendly, professional, organized, and very detailed in his questions, which gave us assurance while we were in the planning phase, that he and his team would deliver high quality service the day of. Tristan was a wonderful DJ and emcee.

There are two main reasons why I plan to stay married to my wife for the rest of my life…read more 1. I love my wife. I'm stupid lucky to have her in my life as the mother of my child and I wake up everyday thankful to have her in my life 2. I never want to plan a wedding again. I would rather get dental surgery while waiting for my number to be called in the DMV with no Internet or cell signal. It's not for me. #2 is the reason why I LOVED having Tristan Nery and Modem Music Box by my side. He took the time to meet with me and my wife over a complimentary consultation that felt more like a casual conversation with a close friend than a formality or a component of a transaction. Tristan took the time to understand the symbolism and meaning behind why certain songs had to be played at certain times of the evening and why specific tracks must not be played. He organized everything music wise so I wouldn't have to do it. On the day of the wedding, Tristan and his staff were punctual and prompt when setting up at our venue in Tyson's Corner. The sound itself from their top of the live equipment was nice with just the right amount of bass. He remembered my mom's favorite song and even took the time to help create a very memorable and meaningful photo. Outside of the Lechon and Ben & Jerry's ice cream caterer, hiring Tristan and Modern Music Box was the second best decision I made that week...Second only to marrying the woman who couldn't stop dancing to his carefully crafted set.
