We had an incredible experience with Anthony at our wedding! From start to finish, he was professional, organized, and truly dedicated to making our night memorable. He took the time to understand our music tastes and nailed the vibe we wanted for each part of the evening—from the jazz feel of the cocktail hour to the high-energy dance floor!
We met Anthology Mobile DJ Services at a bridal expo and communication with Anthony was easy from the start. Highly recommend for any wedding or event!
We have gotten non-stop compliments on our wedding because of Anthology DJ Services! Anthony keeps it professional. He knows the music, but you know your audience. My husband and I have a very diverse taste in music, and Anthony worked with us very closely to make sure we got a playlist that encapsulated everything we wanted! He got everyone on the dance floor more than once. Best party of our life thanks to Anthony! We will recommend him to anyone who needs a DJ.
Book him, immediately!
From the initial meeting, DJ Anthology made sure to ask detailed questions so he could fully understand the vibe we were going for. And he did NOT disappoint! A TIME WAS HAD! The music flowed perfectly throughout the night, and he hit all the genres of music we requested. He even made sure to show love to my Caribbean roots (Haiti) and my partner’s birthplace (DC).
Thank you DJ Anthology for the most amazing night of our lives!
Anthony did an awesome job! Was so happy with his services for our wedding. Very easy to work with & would recommend him to anybody.
Went off-line on the playlist, many songs were not requested (or desired). Non negotiable songs were not played, despite repeated requests to play them. That said, people had a good time. Just don’t expect you’re wishes be adhered to on the big day.
If you’re looking for a DJ, I HIGHLY recommend Anthony! He was great from the first time we met to discuss all of my ideas all the way to our event. He came up with a plan, and even though my guests wanted the party to start sooner, he was able to quickly adjust and had the party going ALL NIGHT LONG!!!!!!! It was a true VIBE!!! And my guests gave us so many compliments. We will definitely be using him again for our future events!!!!
Thank you again Anthony! We truly appreciate you!
Anthony is HANDS DOWN the best DJ ever!! From the moment we met him in our initial meeting, we knew he was going to be the perfect fit for our wedding. Anthony provides you with a detailed website/form to complete with music choices for your wedding day. We were able to input our favorite songs/playlists and our do-not play songs. Anthony's process was simple and seamless. We had multiple zoom meetings with Anthony prior to our wedding, and Anthony did a great job providing a timeline and walking us through our day. Anthony was also able to fit in a last minute request into our timeline about a week before our wedding! Anthony brought the energy and vibes for our wedding day! We truly had the time of our lives and everyone at our wedding was on the dance floor the entire night. So many of our wedding guests said Anthony was by far the best DJ they had heard at a wedding/event!! Do not hesitate to book Anthony for your event or wedding. He is the best of the best and will make your day a memorable experience!
DJ Anthology is amazing!!! We had a blast at my friends wedding. The music was on point. We never sat down!!! He even joined us on the dance floor!! A1 experience for sure. I will definitely be using their services in the future for my events.
My husband and I are both huge music lovers, so finding the perfect DJ for our wedding was very important to us. We researched numerous DJs and listened to a lot of their sample mixes, and we’re so happy to have found DJ Anthology. We knew he was talented by listening to his mixes (he’s definitely a mixologist), but it was an added bonus that he was professional, easy to work with, personable, and thoughtful. We received so many compliments on the music from our guests and even our venue – everyone had an amazing time and really enjoyed themselves. DJ Anthology also provided MC services, which made the day go smoothly. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience or a better DJ.
Amazing DJ to work with. We met up multiple times to make sure everything was perfect. We plan on using them again for sure if we ever need a DJ!
Anthony was so wonderful to work with for our wedding! Every meeting leading up to the big day he was very professional and organized. He provided a lot of great recommendations of songs for different parts of the dinner/reception. We are big country music fans and he did an amazing job mixing in all of our favorites throughout the night. We and everyone at our wedding has still been talking about how amazing the music was. Everyone should hire him for their wedding or special event!
Anthony is an amazing, experienced, and kind-hearted DJ who had my guests, friends, and family dancing until the last song. He is opened to new ideas, and provides advice to jump-start activities that get the entire audience off from their seats. Anthology and his team helped us organize a "Photobomb" where guests would run from their table to take a picture with the bride and groom in the middle of the dance floor. Working to create a playlist was easy! He is well-versed in many genres. I cannot recommend his team enough. Thank you DJ Anthony and team! <3
So much fun from start to finish! We had a wedding where all the attendees had different music tastes and DJ Anthology played something for everyone. I got so many compliments on the music it made me feel so great to have made the best decision on the music. Everyone danced, even the stoic uncle who normally never dances. I had so much fun. I danced to almost every song! Everyone had a good time!
DJ Anthology put on an amazing time for my elementary students. They had a blast dancing with his music. The way that Anthony had every grade dancing like it's no tomorrow shocked me because most of the students are very shy. We will be booking DJ Anthology again for future school dances.

If you want EVERYONE at your wedding to have a great time then you NEED to hire Anthology Mobile DJ Services! Our guests ranged from ages 17 years old to 80 and everyone felt as though they had a favorite song that was being played throughout the night. I have never seen my great aunt bust a move like she did when Anthology’s DJ set list started to play. Throughout the whole process he was communicative, responsive, and genuine. He is very thorough and sent us a document where we could place our likes, dislikes, and musical outline for the ceremony through the reception. Our day went along flawlessly thanks to the coordinator of Anthology Mobile DJ Services and his teamwork with our day of coordinator.
DJ Anthology is phenomenal! We hired him after a consultation and knew we didn’t need to meet with anyone else - he was very friendly, professional, and clearly knows music. The pricing for his packages were great. In the initial meeting, he made sure to walk us through the process and how the DJ fits into the flow of the wedding day. He also really got to know us and our story, which was thoughtful!
Once the contract and deposit are completed, we had a wedding worksheet to fill out with all of our styles of music AND a “do not play” section, which was smart. We made a Spotify playlist and shared that with him, which helped us all collaborate. He met with us over Zoom a few times within the year to make suggestions as needed and how it related to other vendors we were working with.
Soon after hiring, we referred him to our other friends getting married. He did a great job at their wedding, with an entirely different crowd and venue. By the time ours had rolled around, he did a phenomenal job, as we knew he and his team would, making sure equipment was in place, going above and beyond working with other vendors throughout the day of the wedding.
Our music was AWESOME - we had a wide variety of music genres due to our guests and the music we requested. I wasn’t sure if people would be up and dancing, but they didn’t leave the dance floor! Even the other bride I referred said our music was incredible. We also had 2 other locations the day of in addition to the reception that he helped us with so our guests would have plenty to do the day of. He came up with a solution to our unique request and was able to pull it off flawlessly. He also did a great job as an emcee through the day, making sure to give clear introductions and directions when needed without yelling into the microphone. Thank you, DJ for putting in so much time and effort into our event, behind the scenes and the day of. We so appreciate you!
DJ Anthology (Anthony) works hard to make sure your wedding day is perfect, down to the playlist, vibe, and timing. He is open to suggestions, down to earth, and always willing to meet over zoom for any concerns.
Anthony and his team are highly professional, attentive, and fun guys to work with. We hired him for our first ever school dance and he did an incredible job keeping the flow of the party going without any lulls while playing a ton of awesome hits. His set-up was perfect with sweet lighting that clearly defined the dance floor. I've worked dozens of dances and this was the first where kids not only didn't complain about the music, but also praised the DJ. Nothing but my highest recommendation for Anthony and his team!
Anthony, My Wife and I sincerely appreciate your professionalism, thoughtfulness, and skilled ability of keeping everyone on the dance floor.
We can agree that EVERY obstacle was thrown your way, and you STILL DELIVERED! Thank you for everything, it couldn’t have been more perfect!
FYI….. We all needed Tylenol in the morning.
DJ Anthology was fantastic! He was professional and attentive throughout the entire process, from hiring and working through our music styles to delivering on our big day with a wedding for me and my wife that I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Not only did he and his team do an amazing job keeping the dance floor packed and the vibe of the entire evening going. He also nailed it with the little things like the introductions of the wedding party, the management of the reception and the guests making sure everything ran smooth, and even working with me in the time leading up to the wedding to come up with a hilarious garter toss! All of that on top of the music being perfect (which admittedly was a tough task for us blending classic rock and 90s/2000s R&B). He’s earned a couple of customers for life with us, and I will recommend him to anybody and everybody I can!
Anthology Mobile DJ Services was top notch from start to finish! We had a setup due to Covid and had to delay my event to a later date. I was super impressed by DJ Anthology's flexibility to adjust to these unpredictable times. In addition, the attention to detail with ensuring the music captured the attention of the diverse audience of my daughter's Sweet 16 from teenagers to senior citizens. The lighting and booth setup was ultra professional and added a special touch receiving numerous accolades from guests. I would recommend DJ Anthology and staff for anyone in need DJ services.
Anthony was actually the DJ for my son’s graduation party, but I had to sing his praises on here. Anthony checked in with us several times before the party, and asked for requests as to what the kids and all adults would like to hear. He arrived on time and was completely professional. He set up quickly and was ready to go way before the party even started. Once the party started, that’s when the fun began. Everyone loved the music and how he mixed it all. He encouraged people to get involved and it was a complete blast for all of us. At this point I definitely want to create another event just so that Anthony can be involved. Ha! It truly was such a wonderful night because he kept all of us going. So much fun!
The music at our reception was spot on - DJ Anthology made a great playlist based on our dialog and kept the party going until closing time! The consultations were excellent - he listened to all our ideas, made recommendations based on his experience, and kept everything organized, which made it easy to select the options we wanted for sound system, lighting, etc. Everything about working with him was so easy and he was so responsive and professional - and then we had a fantastic dance party and all my friends asked how I found him!
My wife and I would definitely recommend Dj Anthology to anyone who needs a Dj! He was amazing and very professional! He played our different genres of music very well. He had the crowd hype. We enjoyed his services.
When we searched for a DJ for our wedding we had no idea how everything would go or how to pick out one. Thankfully we came across DJ Anthology and we couldn’t have chose better! From our first meeting until the end he has been nothing but helpful. He has made sure my fiancé and I had every song we wanted and made sure he knew the type of music our guest would like to hear. He even gave us a wedding worksheet that helped us to set up each moment of our special day with the perfect type of music. We would recommended DJ Anthology 1,000 % to DJ at weddings or any other type of event. Anthology Mobile DJ Services is the perfect choice when looking for a great DJ!!
I loved working with Anthology! They were incredibly kind, knowledgable, patient, prepared, and FUN! <3
DJ Anthology was an amazing choice and truly made our wedding a meaningful event! He went above in beyond with his attentiveness to the vibe of the room and keeping the dance floor packed. We had a diverse wedding and he worked with us so that the selection of music covered every genre smoothly. My wife and I strongly recommend DJ Anthology, he is really that good!
It was truly an absolute honor to have Anthony & his team as our DJ during our wedding. We initially secured our booking about 4-5 months in advance and Anthony was an integral part of our planning process as we inched closer to our wedding day. He was extremely thorough and made our wants and desires a priority as we planned for the big day. He met with us on multiple occasions to create a plan that catered to the style and feel of our wedding day. Along the way he provided inspiration and helped us fill in gaps where musical choices were missing. He was invested just as much as we were which helped to make our experience special and personalized. We could not have asked for a better DJ and lighting experience for our big day. 3 weeks out we are still getting compliments about the DJ experience from ceremony to the last dance from our guests! Without a doubt Anthony's skills and commitment to his clients is one of a kind! We highly recommend him and his team for your next event! He is easily the most talented DJ in the DMV area! You will not be disappointed!
As a wedding planner you work with many vendors. But DJ Anthology is one of those vendors you hope to work with for years to come. He’s extremely professional and his attention to details is A1. He’s punctual for every meeting, walk through, and day off event. His ability to read a crowd keeps the party going all night. Trust me, you can’t go wrong with this company!
The DJ is such a crucial part of a wedding so when we were deciding on a DJ, it was important to work with someone we could trust and had clear communication with. We were so pleased with DJ Anthology with Anthology Mobile DJ Services. He brought awesome energy and had a great selection of music. I loved that he sent us a questionnaire and wanted to know the top songs we'd like to hear to get an idea of the vibes we were going for. We ended up utilizing DJ Anthology for our ceremony, dinner music, AND reception dance party! He was literally a one-stop-shop for all our wedding music needs. I would highly recommend Anthology Mobile DJ Services - you won't be disappointed!
Working with DJ Anthology was great!! We were one of his first clients back in 2008! He was very professional and met with us to discuss what type of music we wanted to hear during the reception. We were able to give him a very specific and extensive list of songs to play and he made it work! Adding in some choices of his own that worked great with our playlist. Our guests had an awesome time and I tell folks that “we partied like rock stars”! I would highly recommend him for your wedding and/or reception. You definitely will not be disappointed.
My wife and I selected Anthony to DJ our wedding. The entire process, from the initial consultation to the wedding day, was absolutely incredible. Even though our wedding happened during COVID, Anthony made sure that our special day was enjoyable and memorable.
Anthony's hands-on approach ensured that all of our favorite songs were played at the wedding. He was even able to create a custom mix for our first dances. Our guests were dancing in their seats from start to finish and enjoyed themselves.
