Maryland's DJ absolutely nailed our wedding, no other way to describe it. DJ Mebaa stepped in to DJ our ceremony and reception as a last minute change in plans; my wife and I felt supported and in good hands the whole time as a result of Maryland's DJ's planning and attention to detail. Mebaa, with only a few days notice, played all ceremony songs perfectly, timing choruses/special parts of songs perfectly with the arrival of the wedding party/the bride as they walked down the aisle. The reception was an all out blast - Mebaa read the room perfectly, following one banger with another and keeping jaws dropped the whole night with great songs. He also surprised my wife and I with a special last song dance to a song that we adored. I would highly recommend Maryland's DJ, and Mebaa specifically. They made our special day the best it possibly could be, and know how to please their clients, no matter what circumstances arise. Aside from my wife and I, we had almost everyone we interacted with on the dance floor comment on how good the DJ music and service was - we are so glad we went with DJ over live band!

Choosing Marylandâs DJ was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. Between the multiple conversations and the easy-to-navigate online portal, we were able to communicate with Steven (our DJ) exactly what we wanted our day to look like, and he made our dreams come true! Multiple guests have told us âIâve never seen so many people dancing at a wedding!â Thank you, Marylandâs DJ!

Marylandâs DJ and DJ Harvey were outstanding!! 10/10!! from the preparation and our planning meetings we knew we would be in good hands for our special day! DJ Harvey ROCKED IT! our dance floor was packed the entire time and our guests canât stop talking about how good he was!! We were so impressed and loved every minute of it!!!

Ryan aka DJ deficit was amazing Even during the pandemic we had at least two to three zoom calls always was quick to respond within the hour through email text or Facebook

Just want to start by saying thank you for how amazing the entire Marylandâs DJ has been. From our initial conversation to the wedding night, weâve felt comfortable knowing you guys had us covered. With the hundred other wedding things we were managing, not worrying about the DJ situation was a massive plus. So a kudos to you for your professionalism and the help you showed us when we were still shopping around and trying to get a sense of things. Most of the credit should go to Steve. What a legend. Iâm not sure he even knew where Moldova was on a map before our wedding day but theyâd give him a citizenship after the party he threw for us all. 10/10 service, will recommend Steve and you guys for any weddings our friends have. We werenât the most organized bunch, but he sat down with us and went through all the forms and song choices. We felt that we really aligned on our music preferences and he understood the wedding vibe we were going for. We also had a few traditions we needed to do and he helped us through it all! The party was so great we even made arrangements with him to stay later. Again thank you both from the bottom of our hearts for helping make our wedding night the happiest evening of our lives!

Jordan was amazing. Got the exact vibe we were going for in Our wedding and reception. Whole family was on the dance floor most of the night. Also the process of picking songs and uploading guest requests was really easy.
David E
I would definitely give Steve at Maryland DJs a huge 10/10. He was responsive, attentively answered our questions and was so so helpful on our day to ensure everything went smoothly. We will definitely be recommending him moving forward, he had everyone on the dance floor the whole night!
Rachel
Jordan literally made our wedding a party! We had multiple meetings with him via Zoom because we needed help with song selections and he sat with us and helped us pick out the perfect ones! He also made our day run so smoothly⌠from pre ceremony all the way to the very last song. He had everyone on the dance floor and was able to find the groove to cater to all ages. I have told all of my friends about him and his company. I would absolutely hire him again in a heartbeat. He is very responsive, so fun, amazing energy and truly loves what he does. He totally crushed it!
Kelsey H
Not for one second do I regret using DJ Jordan Solender for my wedding! Two years later and I am still getting compliments on how much fun my wedding was and how great the DJ was!!!!
Maggie
Great communication leading up to our wedding and made sure to take time so that we were all on the same page for how the day would unfold. Harvey did a great job keeping energy high and ensuring everyone had a great time. Thanks again!
Harvie
Jordan and his team are truly amazing! We found Maryland's DJ through a wedding convention in DC, but also was referred to them through a co-worker of mine that used Maryland's DJ as their wedding DJ. Coming from a couple that is super into music, we knew it was a great recommendation! Jordan was one of the best wedding decisions that we made. When we first met him, we met in his offices where he took us through a whole experience of what our wedding music would sound like, both cocktail and reception. It was truly one of the coolest things that we got to experience during the wedding planning process and made us so excited to get a glimpse of what the big day would be like. Jordan also took us through his portal where you can submit requests and your timeline, etc. On the actual day, Jordan was totally stellar. I saw him right before we left for the ceremony and he put me at ease just by talking - he has a super calming demeanor. He truly is the best wedding DJ we could have ever asked for. So many of our guests came up to us during the wedding and afterwards saying how much they enjoyed the music and how perfect it was! Even my 76-year-old Dad can't stop commenting on how amazing our DJ was and that right there is a true phenomenon! Jordan can seriously read a room and that is a true gift. He also was our emcee and was amazing at directing people to what they should be paying attention to at any given moment. Not to mention he also referred us to who we used as our travel agency for our honeymoon - he was a true blessing! Thank you, Jordan, for making our day seriously amazing!! We couldn't have imagined it without you and we hope to see you again really soon! You. Are. Incredible.
Kathryn L
They are amazing at coordinating and managing your wedding day. Their easy-to-use website makes all wedding day details go off without a hitch.
Tyler
Marylandâs DJ was phenomenal! Taylor was super helpful and responsive during the early stages of planning. DJ Scott was FANTASTIC. Another DJ was supposed to cover our event, but something came up and Jordan (owner) called to apologize and ensure that DJ Scott was the best candidate to entertain our guests. We had 125 guests and the dance floor was packed ALL night. I could not recommend DJ Scott more!
Jasmine S
Marylandâs DJ was INCREDIBLE. Before our event, there was really good communication from everyone on the team, including the automated reminder emails, personal emails, and our original intake. We really liked that we had so many options of DJs to choose from, too. We also really liked the portal and how we could sort through/choose songs in there. Neil, who actually worked our event, was the absolute best. He met with us several times to make sure things were just right. He matched our vibe and kept people on the dance floor throughout the night. The transitions between songs were awesome. He was a guiding presence to the guests and kept the spotlight on us. People said music was one of the best parts of our wedding. Canât recommend Marylandâs DJ enough!
Kara W
Jordan was great! He listened to us and wanted to get to know us as a couple. He then crafted a mix of songs that fit our tastes, personalities, and the event we were planning. Nothing was pre-mixed as he did everything on the spot. Truly a talented DJ! We got so many compliments on how good he was after our wedding from our guests!
Mike
My wife and I had a wonderful experience with Maryland's DJ. We worked closely with Steve Hartka throughout the entire process and we both have nothing but nice things to say about him and the company as a whole. Steve was responsive with emails and their portal is a great tool for filling out forms and music choices, contacting your DJ and keeping track of your payments. The best part about the experience was the wedding day. Steve and his assistant showed up on time and had everything set up within an hour. He took down all of our important song requests. These guys are true professionals. Everything was so on point with ceremony and cocktail hour... Read more

Unfortunately I'm going to be extremely biased in my review, as Steve is a personal friend of mine in the Baltimore DJ scene. He did an absolutely amazing job, especially considering I didn't even touch the portal or log in once (sorry!) but provided him with a run of show and song selection a few days before. He was super easygoing the day of, especially considering I'm a DJ myself and had a lot of in-the-moment requests/updates to the run of show- he did great and went with the flow! I had my brothers singing our first dance song live, and plugging them in with mics and 1/4 inch jacks for their instruments was no sweat for Steve! He went off-list when it mattered to keep the dance floor alive, and I don't think there was a moment when it died at ALL (and again, as a DJ myself that's the most important part!) Everyone has told me it was the most fun reception they've ever been to- and I know that's because of the music- so A+ for Steve, give him a raise, a promotion- everything! :)
Jimmy P
We cannot say enough great things about DJ Steve! From the moment we connected, he was incredibly friendly, professional, and easy to work with. He truly listened to our vision for the wedding and brought it to life with his amazing DJ skills. Steve perfectly set the tone for every part of the evening. During the cocktail hour, he played timeless classics by Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald, creating an elegant and classic vibe. As dinner began, he transitioned seamlessly into some lively swing music, which added so much energy to the room. When it was time to party, Steve wen through the decades, playing all the hits from the â80s, â90s, and 2000s. We sang and danced our hearts out to all of our favorites. He read the crowd perfectly, and the dance floor was packed all night long! Our guests couldnât stop raving about how much fun they had and how sore they were from all the dancing, and we owe so much of that to Steveâs ability to keep the energy going all night. People only really took breaks to grab another drink. Thank you Steve for being such a pleasure to work with and for making our special day so incredible!!

Marylands DJ, and DJ Brian brought the energy for our wedding we were so happy to have them and have plenty of great mixes with all of the music that we picked. From the beginning Marylands DJ were professional and extremely helpful in our process. We were shown a great and informative presentation about their offerings, and Jordan walked us through the entire contract from beginning to end to make sure we had no issues! They had plenty of follow up emails and even incorporated some Polish music, as my wife is Polish-American, and made sure the crowd was always partying! Couldnât be happier with Marylands DJ, and DJ Brian!! Thank you again!!
Nicholas
Maryland's DJ was a great choice for a wedding DJ! Jordan was very helpful in finding out exactly what we wanted our wedding to be like and he matched us with a perfect DJ for the job. Brian was our DJ and he kept the dance floor moving all night. We had so much fun at our wedding and definitely recommend them for all your entertainment needs.
Rebecca G
Jordan was OUTSTANDING! He has a personality and energy that describes a DJ. He was super helpful recommending songs for us and his online portal was super easy to use. He was very easy going and let us make changes up to literally the last second. We gave him very little direction and he was able to read the vibe of our crowd at our wedding and match the music perfectly!
Shayne
Our experience with Maryland's DJ was great!! Steve was so wonderful to work with and he created an absolute vibe for the dance floor. The timing of all of our songs was perfect and he kept the energy going!

Steve and his assistant had our dance floor packed throughout the entire reception. We had multiple people tell us after the fact that it was one of the best receptions they had ever been too. And a large part of that is owed to Steve and Maryland's DJ for making our special night a truly memorable one.
Zach W
Brian crushed it 10/10. Based upon the songs we listed, he did a great job curating music for the evening that got people on the dance floor. He was great and one of the team members got an awesome video that was emailed to us after the wedding, which was so kind and I'm so glad we have that memory to relive!! Definitely recommend.
Jenna P
Jordan was the DJ for our wedding and did a phenomenal job. He's an awesome guy, and not only a great DJ but a great voice on the mic as well! His company's website made the entire process very easy. The LED lighting is 100% worth add on and his speaker/stand set up looked very nice in the room. I would recommend these guys to anyone.
Matthew
We were so happy we went with Jordan to be our DJ for our wedding reception this past August in Annapolis. *He plays great music and made the songs personalized to our reception. Definitely check out some of his videos. *He is so professional, very experienced, and friendly. *He was a calming and reassuring presence for us during the reception. He kept close track of the order of events and reminded us where we needed to be and when. *The website to choose songs is very easy to use. *Affordable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Tom Dempsey
We had an amazing experience with our DJ Mike Q. Before we even chose to hire Maryland's DJ, he invited us out to see him perform which we HIGHLY recommend to any couple looking for a DJ. We got to see his style and read the energy in the room. Our wedding reception could not have gone any smoother. He checked in with us before and after big moments and made sure we were comfortable at all times (including being down to cut some dances short if needed). We really appreciated this because being in front of hundreds of people can be a LOT. His MC skills are top tier and the dance floor was PACKED ALL NIGHT LONG! He played all of our special requests and built off the list we gave him perfectly, even taking requests from our guests. He started amping up the energy during dinner so by the time the dance floor opened everyone was ready to party. We are still getting complements from guests about the music and atmosphere of the reception, thanks to our awesome DJ. THANK YOU SO MUCH MIKE Q!!!
Rachel
If you do not pick Maryland's DJ to host your wedding you are doing it completely wrong. We had Steve as our DJ and from start to finish he was very easy to work with and was very excited to help us plan all of our details. Steve was professional and had the dance floor ROCKING all night long. Steve played almost all of the songs we had requested and even added his own songs to match the crowds vibes. He is your man!!! We will always remember how exciting it was to see all of our family and friends out on the dance floor with us all night long.
Melanie G
Jordan was the best DJ we could've hoped for at our wedding! He was super responsive in the planning stages ahead of the big day, and was quick to accommodate all of our crazy last minute changes. One of the most important things for us was that it was not "his show." He played great music during our cocktail hour, during dinner, and slayed it with the dance floor music, and he was also a great MC throughout the evening who highlighted the speakers without being too distracting. We are absolutely thrilled with his service, and are trying to figure out what parties we can throw with him in the future!
Jon Pressimone
Jordan is the best DJ ever! Obviously because he DJed our wedding but I have yet to see one better at other weddings we have gone to! I even had a friend say they wish they had him. I only hope he will get to DJ another wedding that we go to.
Priscilla
This review is for Steve with Marylandâs DJ. Steve was our wedding DJ for an event at the Chesapeake Bay and has our highest recommendation due to his profound professionalism. Steve was extremely personable and communicative throughout the entire process and provided his skills to accommodate special requests for song edits and musical queues during ceremony events. He was exceedingly knowledgeable on all aspects of audio engineering, noise considerations and acoustics for outdoor events, and venue-specific accommodations as he had frequented our selected location. The music selection system was an easy to use, web based application that streamlined the song selection process and provided valuable insight into music considerations, meeting time constraints, and accounting for key wedding objectives. We highly recommend Marylandâs DJ for other wedding events to any interested parties.
Dalton
Had the absolute best night of my life thanks to Mike Q! Super awesome and easy to work with, answered all questions we had and we had a blast out on the dance floor all night! Seriously went beyond my expectations and would recommend for any event! THANK YOU!!!!!!!
Megan Kernan
Brian was the best DJ!! We loved all the song choices and remixes and the transitions were amazing too! Everyone at the wedding was raving about how good the DJ was and we couldnât have imagined a better dance floor. We picked some songs but then also told Brian to just keep people on the dance floor and he definitely delivered. Even the parents and aunts and uncles were dancing most of the night! Our only regret was not having more time for dancing!
Val N
We loved working with Maryland's DJ and DJ Theo! The team made everything easy - we had a walk through to talk about our goals for our reception and were matched with a DJ that they thought could make it happen. And DJ Theo certainly could - he was amazing! We also loved the planning tool they gave us to use for timeline creation, choosing songs, and more. The party was fantastic and we loved how smoothly everything went from micing up the ceremony to creating an awesome atmosphere for our guests during dinner, speeches and of course, the dancing! We were so thrilled the whole night and our only complaint is that it went way too fast. Thank you again to Theo for all the help you gave us as we were planning and for being our MC for the evening - it was a pleasure to work with him.
Danielle
Jordan has a fantastic energy about him that a good DJ needs. Heâs professional, talented, and one of the best DJs in the region!!!
Lulu Zappy
They were amazing to deal with! Brian was excellent and picked the best music!

Rebecca Vega
We had the BEST time working with DJ Steve! He was so much fun to ideate with and delivered on all of our requests. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed his set and found him to be very personable! We had a few last minute requests that Steve was able to adjust and make work beautifully. I cannot recommend him enough and would love to work with him again in the future if the opportunity ever presented itself!
Taylor S
Steve was an amazing DJ!! We had so many compliments afterward telling us how much fun everyone had and how the DJ was perfect! Once the music started- so did the dancing and that never stopped. I am biased since it was my wedding but I haven't been to another wedding where the dance floor was packed the whole entire time! Steve listened to all of our needs and made sure the music line-up was flawless!
Kelsea H
Ryan Carr with Maryland's DJ was awesome, he was great to work with through the process of planning our wedding, explained everything thoroughly and was super helpful. He and his partner for our event set the mood for our whole day and we can't recommend them highly enough, everyone loved the energy and the music. Their planning features were so awesome, they allowed us to organize songs by must play, do not play, etc. which really helped us put our personality into our wedding.
Taylor
We hired Maryland's DJ for our wedding reception (the official gathering after a 2020 courthouse ceremony) and I was blown away by how helpful they were throughout the entire process. I'm not really a music person and had no idea what songs to suggest but our guests (and embarrassingly myself) were singing and dancing all night. I was kind of sad going in to the re-do wedding reception as it didn't really feel like the real thing, and I was afraid that our friends and family would feel the same way too, but Maryland's DJ helped to give our reception the authentic first-time feeling and I am so happy with the way everything came together. 10/10!!
Taylor Johnson
We were blessed having Steve as our DJ! It felt like having a friend there who truly cared and put every detail into our special day that we asked for. He added in special requests and even added a last minute first dance song in just minutes before. We could not recommend Steve and Maryland's DJ enough!
Samantha Murray
We couldnât have asked for a better DJ than Jordan! Not only did he make sure everything ran smoothly and on schedule but he made sure our dance floor was never empty. 4 years later people are still talking about our wedding. He was able to get people to dance that would normally never leave their chair. We are so thankful that Jordan was part of our special day!

Steve was AMAZING!! if you need a DJ for your wedding, look no further.
Nicholas Durieu
We honestly could not imagine our wedding dance floor being any better. People were (not even kidding) begging the DJ to keep playing songs as the venue told us we had to go! The music and the energy was that good!! Can't recommend Steve enough and he'll keep everyone, from your college friends to your grandma to your cousin's toddler, on their feet and having a great time.
Sarah
Had an absolutely fantastic experience working with Brian and Maryland's DJ! They have several DJ's in their company which I appreciated, the first meeting was seeing what kind of music we wanted played and what the vibes of the day we were looking for. We spoke with Andrew and he helped us figure out who would be the best match for us and he nailed it with us having DJ Brian! Everyone at the wedding said they had so much fun and everyone was dancing the night away. I think he did a great job of taking requests and playing what we wanted. They have a whole form and website to help layout the day and potential music suggestions which was incredibly helpful!! I do not have one single negative comment about them. I am so thankful that he was able to keep everyone dancing and giving the range of music everyone wanted and could relate to. Definitely recommend them if you are looking for a DJ!!
Jessica Harty
Brian Doane was our DJ for our wedding and did a. Outstanding job. He was very responsive and helpful through the process. We had to change venues due to COVID and went above and beyond with helping us plan our big day. Brian has tons of experience with weddings and events and did a great job of reading the crowd and getting people on the dance floor.
Tim L.
Neil was incredible! He kept the party going and he helped me surprise my husband before I went down the aisle with a clip of TJ Oshie goal song đ highly recommend! Great dj and company
Jordan
Steve H. & everyone at Maryland's DJ was an absolute pleasure and incredible to work with. Steve really took his time to understand the aesthetic and mood we wanted to capture for our wedding day. The photo booth they offered was completely worth it! These were the first photos we got back and we love looking at them! At the end of the night my wedding guests were chanting for an encore. Additional, one of my family members contacted MD DJ to secretly purchase dancing on a cloud for us. MD DJ really delivered to make our night magical!
Christina Sicuranza
Big thank you to DJ Brian and Maryland's DJ! The party was on the dance floor the entire night! And brian was very flexible with our ideas and our request for meetings. We had the most amazing night ever, and you guys were a very big part of it. - Hanifah and James!
Hanifah M
Great transitions, found all the correct exact music that we wanted for our processional
Molly
Jordan and the team at Maryland's DJ were incredible to work with and elevated our special day beyond anything we could hope for. From their online portal that helped us to map out and plan our music to the meetings and check-ins to the actual day of, they left nothing to chance and provided an amazing experience at each step. Jordan was a phenomenal DJ and Emcee, providing the sound track and flow of events for the best day of our lives. We cannot recommend Jordan enough!
Sarah
Without a doubt, heâs the best DJ we ever got. He never hesitated one time even when we switch things up he just wait with it. Kept the party going all night was so nice and accommodating to all my guest. Brian is in must have for a DJ I canât talk enough about him. He was great. I truly mean every word he was amazing thank you so much. The party was so fun. Itâs all because of you.
Elizabeth R
Jordan does amazing work! He knew when the time was to play certain songs and once the party started it never stopped! The way he has his program set up makes it so easy to customize and to keep track of everything thatâs going by having everything detailed down to the smallest thing. He made it really simple and hassle free which is what we really needed. If you need someone in charge of your party and to make sure you and your guest have a great time, hire Jordan!

Kara
Maryland's DJ was the perfect DJ company for our wedding. DJ Harvey was so easy to communicate with, he worked with all of our vendors to ensure we had the best experience possible, and he kept the party going all night long! The energy from the dance floor was one of the most talked about parts of our wedding day and it wouldn't have been possible without DJ Harvey's skills as well as the great sound system and uplighting. We would recommend to anyone hoping to have a fun wedding reception!
Karlie
Maryland's DJ was exactly what we wanted for our wedding. DJ Ryan Carr kept the dance floor packed and played music based on what everyone was enjoying most. Their online portal for choosing music was super easy, had a must play, would like to play, and do not play list. We also used their uplighting for the venue which looked awesome. Everyone had a blast and said how great the music was.
Rebecca L
After going to multiple weddings with boring, unorganized DJs who played awkward and cringeworthy music, my husband and I knew we wanted better for our wedding. Thatâs how we found Jordan at Maryland DJ. From our amazing initial meeting, where Jordan mixed our favorite songs into a mini-set list, I knew Jordan was the perfect choice for the fun, energetic wedding we wanted. Our family and friends have not stopped praising Jordan and our weddingâs music: âthat was the best wedding music Iâve ever heardâ and âevery song he played was perfectâ. Jordan kept the dance floor packed all night, including my 3 year old cousin and my 70 year old great aunt. He played one amazing song after another, totally embracing our music tastes. Jordan also makes the wedding process as smooth as possible. His portal helps plan your ceremony and reception while giving you plenty of suggestions for âmust-playâ songs, parent dances, first dance songs, etc⌠At the wedding, he makes sure the ceremony and reception run smoothly through his promptness, his announcements, and his guest interactions. He isnât corny or cheesy, but he will make sure everyone gets up dancing! We loved how thoughtful Jordan was through the entire event. He arrived early to the venue and even offered to help my dad and brother set up our chuppah. He checked in with us about 30 minutes before the end of the night to see if there were any last minute songs we still wanted to hear. And, when I put two musical songs on our cocktail hour/dinner playlist, he included some âHamiltonâ and âDear Evan Hansonâ which made the night even more special and personalized. We can never thank Jordan enough for helping make our wedding perfect. If you want the best music and dancing at your wedding, Jordan is the perfect DJ for your event.
Samantha
We were fortunate enough to have Steve Hartka DJ our wedding 2 weeks ago, he was amazing! All of our guests were out on the dance floor the whole night. Steve was great to work with and was very responsive to any questions or suggestions we had.
Megan
Ryan Carr with Maryland's DJ was awesome, he was great to work with through the process of planning our wedding, explained everything thoroughly and was super helpful. He and his partner for our event set the mood for our whole day and we can't recommend them highly enough, everyone loved the energy and the music. Their planning features were so awesome, they allowed us to organize songs by must play, do not play, etc. which really helped us put our personality into our wedding.
Taylor
When considering all the different vendors for our wedding, we knew to have a great DJ was important to us. We inquired with quite a few but when we met Jordan, the decision was easy. The entire process was smooth and made us less stressed for our big day. We loved the demo provided before we signed the contract as well as the online portal that made it easy to provide our preferences. Jordan provided great input to help us decide which songs we wanted and when. He helped us figure out the entire flow of the wedding. We also got our lighting from Jordan and it looked great and we were able to see the color and options ahead of time. And of course, probably most important, the day of the wedding everything was amazing. All of the guests were out on the dance floor and had a fantastic time. Can't say enough great things about our experience!

Dalton B
Our DJ was Neil and we couldn't have had a greater time with him. Somehow he was able to balance my love for 80s music with my wife's modern pop. Needles to say, the music for the night was amazing. Neil was also a consummate professional when it came to coordinating all of the music and announcements according to our wedding timeline. In addition, the photobooth and uplighting raised the experience to a whole other level. Overall, we had an awesome time working with Maryland's DJ and Neil specifically and would highly recommend them to anyone.
Joon E
We'd absolutely recommend the team at Maryland's DJ. Steve, our DJ, took the time to meet with us to understand the vibe we were going for at our wedding and knew exactly how to keep people dancing all night. The team was easy to work with, responsive, and highly professional.
Elizabeth R
Working with Steve was an absolute dream. When we started out planning, we knew that the music would be the most important factor of our wedding for us, and Steve exceeded our expectations with the most incredible DJ set for our wedding reception. He listened to what we wanted, worked with our requests and elevated the music to the point where people are still talking about the playlist and asking us to send it to them. I would recommend Steve to ANYONE but especially for those couples who are particular about their music! We'll be recommending him to friends for all future weddings not just because he's fantastic, but because we selfishly want to participate in another Steve dance party!
Casey
If you want a packed dance floor, book Jordan!! Matt and I are what I guess you can call a "COVID couple" who ended up changing our wedding date three times and our venue. Jordan met us back in December of 2019 and stuck with us through it all! He is fun, responsive, reliable and so easy to work with. Our goal when selecting vendors was to make sure we felt 100% comfortable with them so that we could be ourselves - as soon as we met Jordan, we knew that would be the case.

Brian Doane 100% understood what we were trying to accomplish at our wedding! He was fantastic, the dance floor was never empty, AND people wanted to keep partying. If you're looking for the best party for your reception, I recommend Maryland's Best, and Brian!
Mallory Silvers
We worked with DJ Brian and he had the dance floor absolutely packed all night!! He nailed our classic dinner music and then seamlessly transitioned it into the most fun dance party ever! We even told him to forget our must play list because he could read the crowd that well. 10/10!!!

I cannot recommend Maryland's DJ enough! From the initial planning phase to the execution of the ceremony and reception. They make it so easy on us and NAILED the vibes of the wedding throughout the night. Hire Maryland's DJ for your big day, you will not regret it. Brian was the best!

Marylandâs DJ was the absolute best! They were extremely responsive, personable, and easy to work with. Taylor was extremely on top of things and very responsive. Brian our DJ truly listened and made our party flow and really banged out some tunes! Exactly what we had wanted! He kept our reception moving after getting behind due to a transportation issue which delayed the wedding. He was able to readjust and make sure the essentials happened, and happened well! It was the best dance party! Our only regret was that we didnât get to experience it longer due to the timeline delay! But thank you Brian and Marylandâs DJ for helping make our wedding extremely memorable and the most special day! We would definitely recommend you!

Maryland's DJ was fantastic from start to finish. They were extremely fast in responding to my request, beat everyone by at least 30 minutes! Their presentation of who they are and what they do well, and what separates them from other DJ's was clean and crisp. Steve was a fantastic DJ. We used him for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. We got tons of compliments about the music he was playing and how he was able to keep everyone on the dance floor. I'd highly recommend using Maryland's DJ!!

Huge thank you to Maryland's DJ for helping us celebrate our wedding! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect DJ than Steve from Maryland's DJ! He kept everyone dancing all night as we celebrated our big day! He was extremely professional throughout the entire process and was masterful in matching the energy that we were looking for in a DJ. We also used the Video 360 provided by Maryland's DJ for some super fun videos that captured our guests at our celebration in a unique and special way. It's such a joy to see our friends and family so happy for us and celebrating in their own special way!

We had a wonderful experience from the very beginning until the end! Iâm sad itâs over!! It was a very organized process and I felt super cared for from the start! We were lucky enough to have Harvey as our DJ and he exceeded all of our expectations!! There was clear communication within the days leading up and then the actual wedding was a dream! The music was awesome and Marylandâs DJ and Harvey were incredible to work with! I would highly recommend them to anyone!! They are so knowledgeable and talented at what they do!

Steve was an absolutely wonderful DJ to work with for our wedding. He was immensely responsive and willing to make anything work! The care and planning that went into the entertainment he has planned for our special night was above and beyond, and it showed. Time and time again family and friends, of all backgrounds and ages, that were in attendance, sung his praises. We really had a perfect night and Steve was a huge part of making it so wonderful!

Jordan and his team from Maryland DJ were truly amazing! They really care about the people they work with and spent a lot of time just getting to know my wife and I, which made us feel even more comfortable to work with them. The attention to detail, music selection, timelines, light selection, fun attitude, and support were above and beyond. My wife and I work full time jobs and Jordan helped keep us on track with his easy to understand platforms and his kind demeanor walking us through every step of the way. Jordan did it all for us from music selection to back lighting to an awesome easy to use photo booth. From start to finish, Jordan made the venue come alive! I am not exaggerating when I say everyone was on the dance floor the entire night. If you are looking for an awesome DJ we highly recommend using Maryland DJ! Thank you Jordan and Marylandâs DJ for being great and being a part of our special night!

Steve was great, he really listened to us as a couple and our style. He definitely has a great ability to switch the song if itâs not vibing with the crowd and will put on something that will get everyone dancing. Would definitely recommend him!
Julia G
Our photographer referred us to Jordan and we couldnât be happier that she did! He was extremely helpful and always there when we had any questions, especially with having to change our date due to COVID. The lighting was absolutely amazing and the photo booth was a complete hit. I donât think there was a single moment the dance floor was empty once dinner was over, besides the cake cutting. Jordan covered a lot of genres of music so there was a little bit of everything for everyone in attendance. The night flowed seamlessly and we knew we were in good hands throughout!
Becky R
We had a wonderful experience working with Maryland's DJ! The team was easy to work with, very responsive, and helpful with any questions or concerns we had. DJ Neil was fantastic!! Our dance floor was packed from the moment it opened until the very last song of the night. It was exactly what we had hoped for. We would definitely recommend Neil and the entire Marylandâs DJ team!
Nicole
Jordan was an AMAZING dj at our wedding, which we knew he would be because he was a fantastic dj at my brother's wedding too! He kept everything running smoothly and played the greatest music of all time! Without my knowledge, several of my friends even offered to pay him to stay longer! Unfortunately the venue was closing - sometimes I regret we didn't start the wedding earlier so we could get more dancing in! Yesterday was our 1 year anniversary and many of our memories are about how much fun the reception was. Great job! Have already recommended him to friends and will continue to forever! Thanks Jordan!

Jordan was the best DJ we could've hoped for at our wedding! He was super responsive in the planning stages ahead of the big day, and was quick to accommodate all of our crazy last minute changes. One of the most important things for us was that it was not "his show." He played great music during our cocktail hour, during dinner, and slayed it with the dance floor music, and he was also a great MC throughout the evening who highlighted the speakers without being too distracting. We are absolutely thrilled with his service, and are trying to figure out what parties we can throw with him in the future! ~ Lilly and Jon

Steve did a fantastic job playing at our wedding. Very professional and made the whole profess very easy. Any concerns were addressed promptly. Highly recommend if you are looking for a DJ for your wedding!

We had a great experience with Maryland's DJs! Our DJ was great and did all that we asked and more! So glad we went with MD DJ for our wedding.

I am so thankful to Steve and his team at Maryland's DJ for absolutely bringing the party!! There are so many details that need the brides attention but he knew exactly what to do and totally understood what we were going for. His calls where detailed and helpful and professional which is more than I can say for some other vendors. I loved my wedding and spent the whole evening on a PACKED dance floor because of this man. He also did audio for our ceremony and was very helpful making sure everyone could hear even at an outside event. I cannot say enough about how great he is.
Alexandra T
So blown away. Our guests were dancing THE ENTIRE NIGHT! Announcements were on point, they werenât cheesy, music was awesome, and the photo booth was so unique. We got lighting as well at the last minute and it completely changed the look and feel of the room. 5 out of 5 would hire again. Thank you!
Julie
We would rate their service a 10- best money we spent on our wedding! our DJ Laz worked the room and kept everyone hyped and engaged throughout our wedding! We were pleasantly surprised by his personalized entertainment and ability to exceed our wishes!

Wow, Where do I even begin. Look no further, Maryland's DJ is the best in the business and hiring them will be one of the best decisions you could ever make for your wedding day. We scheduled our wedding date around Jordan's availability, because our wedding day wouldn't be the same without the #1 DJ. Jordan will not only play the tunes for your day, but he will become your friend, step in on day of duties, make sure everything runs smoothly and organized, sweep any wedding day stress away, keep your drinks full, and of course the dance floor packed. As our wedding night was coming to a close and the bus was ready to take the first trip back to the hotel, but our guests literally refused because the dance floor was too much fun!!! I wish I had counted the number of guests who came up to us stating it was the "best wedding they had ever attended". Investing in Maryland's DJ is investing in a relaxed, and fun filled wedding day that you (and all of your guests) will never want to end!
Valerie S
Everything was fantastic. 10/10! Multiple guests talked about how fun the DJ was (Laz), the lighting was PERFECT for both the ceremony and the dance party, and the Photo Booth was a big hit.
Laura Simpler
Marylandâs DJ was awesome to work with. They have an online system to put all our songs we want plus the ones we didnât. They played many extra songs that went perfect with our crowd. They even offered us upgrades for a discount because of another cancelation. I just thought that was a sweet deal. They bring everything and know what they are doing without even questioning us. Highly recommended.
Emily
We have not even used the service yet, but I am already so impressed with our interactions. The booking experience was flawless and now that we are having to reschedule due to COVID, they have been so helpful and flexible. It has made a tough situation just that much easier.

To start, Maryland's DJ is the absolute best. Very friendly and responsive. Jordan does a great job of matching couples to the perfect DJ. DJ Steve Hartka was a perfect fit for our wedding. From start to finish, Steve was very responsive and helpful. My wife and I requested that our first song be edited to add an instrumental portion, he kindly provided several edits which made our first dance a dream. All of our wedding guests have continued to comment on Steve's awesomeness. Steve was very friendly and accommodating with song requests from my newly minted niece. I would highly recommend Maryland's DJ and DJ Steve Hartka.

The entire Marylands DJ team was kind and professional, and their whole process was very streamlined and detail-oriented! Their forms and online platform made it easy to plan music selections and figure out timelines. We had a micro wedding of about 40 guests, and our DJ Mike was awesome... he was able to identify our tastes in music and catered playlists to them. He was able to find this awesome balance of keeping the party going but not going "overboard" since it was a smaller wedding. I would highly recommend Marylands DJ!!!
Amy
Brian was great, and he made our slightly eclectic mix of swing/big band songs and millennial nostalgia dance hits really work! That moment after the first dance when he encouraged everyone to head to the dancefloor was incredible and exactly what I wanted out of the evening. The booking/setup stuff was also very easy to handle and they checked in at regular intervals to make sure everything was going to plan.

I cannot recommend Maryland's DJ enough! From the initial planning phase to the execution of the ceremony and reception. They make it so easy on us and NAILED the vibes of the wedding throughout the night. Hire Maryland's DJ for your big day, you will not regret it. Brian was the best!

We had an absolutely fantastic time working with Maryland DJ! We got married this past weekend and had about 140 guests in attendance. We worked with DJ Neil, and he was an absolute professional throughout the day. Our ceremony went on without a hitch, even with our family friend playing the keyboard at our outside ceremony space with support from Neil. He executed any announcements that we had flawlessly and made sure all of our guests knew exactly what was going on throughout the evening. When it came to the dance floor, Neil knew exactly how to keep the party going. I am very particular about the music played on the dance floor, and Neil took my playlist and really made it into his own. I felt that all the songs that I wanted to hear were played, and Neil masterfully read the room and played songs that he knew would elevate it to the next level. The dance floor was completely full the entire time, it was truly a wonderful experience. I would enthusiastically recommend Maryland DJ for your event, they really came through for us! Thanks again Neil!

We used Marylandâs DJ for our 150-person black tie optional wedding in Washington DC. Services included music (ceremony, cocktail hour, reception), photo booth, and uplights. Everything was flawless. Jordan was our DJ and he was an absolute pro. Music done well has the power to make life feel like a movie and create epic moments and memories. Thatâs what Jordan delivered for us. Cannot recommend him enough. The photo booth was a huge hit. Totally customizable and looked great.

Maryland DJ was our wedding DJ and it was the best! Steve Hartka was friendly, professional, and had great communication throughout the whole planning process. The online platform was so easy to use and add our favorite songs along with our do not plays. At the reception, Steve kept the party going all night long. He read the room and knew just what to play to get everyone out on the dance floor! I would highly recommend anyone planning a wedding to hire a DJ from here!
