Bialek's Music

We got to work with DJ Mark Dennis for our wedding and we really lucked out! He is a true professional and his experience showed. Everyone had a great time and even people I did not expect would dance, ended up on the dance floor! He listened to us when we outlined our favorite music and several people commented on the great playlist. A great DJ is a must for your wedding, and we really found that here!

We loved working with Bialek's and Austell (DJ A Sonic) for our wedding day. From our first conversation with him, we knew we would be in good hands. He kept our guests on the dance floor all night and was great about playing our many song requests. It was so fantastic to see our friends and family living it up and enjoying so many songs from across generations. Rest assured, you'll be in GREAT hands with DJ A Sonic and Bialek's! They're the best choice if you're in the DMV.

I recently worked with Bialek’s music studios for my wedding. I chose the company originally because it is female owned and operated, which I learned most DJ and music companies are not. Robin was easy to work with and discussed all of their plans with me offering a very wide variety of options that fit all budgets. I ended up going with an option that connected me with a DJ 3 months before the event and was very affordable. Closer to the wedding, I had some funds leftover and was able to add in Up-lighting which I think helped set the right mood and aid in getting the best photos. Our DJ, Jill, was wonderful. She sent me a list of questions ahead of time and did a great job with the timeline (announcing the bridal party, speeches, etc..), as well as creating a great vibe for the dance floor. I highly recommend this company!

DJ AAROCK / DJ A Sonic from Bialek's Music was Outstanding! Bialek's Music was the only DJ I found that actually provides you with audio/video of each of their DJs to actually select someone that matches your style and overall goal. Asked other DJs and literally was told nothing could be provided, just 'trust' them. Bialek's Music made the booking and payments easy. DJ AAROCK / DJ A Sonic was awesome. Quick call ahead of the wedding and he took in all my requests, beat matching/great transitions between songs, shortening songs (if the crowd isn't pleased), allowing requests, having a whole plan of the songs throughout the night, and more. Shared multiple Spotify playlists for each part of the evening, marked key songs requested by guests, sent edited songs, YouTube video songs, and everything was accommodated. Other DJs told me if it wasn't in their repository or purchasable, no-go...but DJ A Sonic accommodated for anything. THEN, he was so amazing that we literally had a non-stop dance party for hours. Guests never left the dance floor with the variety of songs old and new going. Can't tell you how many compliments he received and I have requests to share his info. People said 'best DJing at a wedding they had ever been to'. I can't thank DJ A Sonic enough for being so professional, talented, and really going with the flow of the wedding to make the night spectacular. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Bialek's Music and getting DJ A Sonic for your next event! https://bialeksmusic.com/portfolio/dj-a-sonic/

Bialek's did both our ceremony music (a string duo) and our videography (ceremony livestream) and we could not have been happier. The individuals we worked with were both phenomenal, despite several last-minute changes to our day. Fred was the violinist who did a great job at selecting songs we wanted to hear and he was so incredibly communicative, approachable, and helpful. Chris Bruno was our videographer and he was amazing -- Chris knew exactly what he was doing and while the day itself is a bit of a blur, I knew I never had to worry about the livestream. About 48 hours before our wedding, we decided to add a Zoom to the start of our reception so my grandma could see our first dance and Chris SO willingly took on the additional work and killed it. I cannot imagine our day being as special as it was without Chris and Fred.

Working with Bialek’s was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Booking the N Street Quartet was as easy as could be, and our guests absolutely LOVED their beautiful music. Their song catalog is massive and you’re sure to find something to suit your tastes. Without a doubt, they added a timeless touch to our outdoor wedding. Cannot recommend them enough!

We contracted with Bialek's to hire a DJ for our wedding day. Robin and company were very professional in quoting prices and answering our questions. The DJ who was assigned to us, DJ AAROCK, was a blast to work with! He had a great sense of humor and understanding of the COVID situation that put us at ease. He visited our venue ahead of time to get a sense of the layout, and was very communicative even though we were pretty last minute in getting him our music preferences and specific song choices (e.g. first dance). My (at that time future) husband and I had created a DIY Zoom/virtual livestream setup and DJ AAROCK was very accommodating with running extension cords to our setup from his booth, and in helping set up the additional mics to ensure there would be no feedback between the two systems. We couldn't recommend DJ AAROCK and Bialek's enough! Thank you so much for making our wedding day go smoothly!

We contracted Bialek's music to provide a guitarist, Dominick, and a DJ, DJ AAROCK, for our wedding. Bialek's was extremely flexible and accommodating when we had to adjust our wedding because of the pandemic and worked with us to make sure we were still provided with a high quality experience. Dominick was receptive to learning and playing songs we requested for our ceremony and DJ AAROCK kept everyone on the dance floor all night long! We highly recommend Bialek's for all music-related needs!

We were extremely pleased with both our DJ, Jill Parsons, and our photobooth technician! Jill kept the crowd up and dancing all night long with a great mix of songs - even some fun ones for the kiddos who ate quickly and needed some dancing to keep them occupied! Adding the uplighting on to our package made SUCH a difference. The uplighting provided fun lighting throughout the ballroom to keep our party active all night long. Our photobooth was a huge hit! Looking through those photobooth pictures in our photo album/guest book is such fun! Thank you again for making our wedding day so special!

We hired Bialek after a very long search for a wedding DJ. All of our communication with Robin was very professional and she was quick to respond to our requests and needs. Unfortunately our experience with the DJ we selected through the company left room for improvement. We spoke with the DJ on the phone multiple times before our event and outlined what song selections and tone we desired and thought we were all on the same page. Unfortunately almost none of the songs we requested were played during our wedding reception. Additionally, the incorrect song played for our first dance and we had to wait to have our entrance until the correct song was played. If it was an issue of not having our selected music, we would have been more than happy to provide. Not sure where the communication breakdown happened in our lead up process. In the end, we still made the best of our event and all of our guests had a great time on the dance floor. We also contracted great uplighting and microphone equipment from Bialek for our ceremony which we had no issues with. Just knowing the level of detail we put into crafting our music and not having that followed is what was most disappointing. I would be inclined to use Bialek again, but would be more selective in reviewing which of their vendors we ultimately are matched with for our event.

The entire team at Bialek's Music was truly a pleasure to work with! They are very knowledgeable, professional and responsive. They made the music selection process for our wedding and reception a breeze. They offer comprehensive services and were also able to provide a photo booth at our reception. It was great to be able to handle all of these needs in one place. We were extremely pleased will all of the services that Bialek's Music provided for our wedding day including the photo booth, guitar/cello duo and DJ Alkimist!

I love Bialek's Music! DJ Jeremy was amazing and gave us everything that we wanted on our wedding day. I would recommend this company to anyone getting married!

Bialek's was very easy to coordinate and communicate with from the start, and was very responsive to our questions as we got to know the DJs. We ended up working with DJ Chris Walker who was beyond our expectations! He worked in our requested songs but did a great job of reading the room - everyone was on the dance floor! He also had a tasteful light set-up that provided a great mood for the dancing! We had a blast! Chris also did the sound for our ceremony nearby, which was really professionally executed.

We relied on Bialek's for all our wedding entertainment needs -- band, string quartet, and almost a DJ too -- and they were absolutely amazing to work with. Very open and direct about charges and fees and extremely responsive, which is so helpful when you're planning a wedding! They also facilitate hiring all of the best talent in the DC area - we loved Infusion and the String Along Quartet :)

Super accommodating. We wanted a bilingual DJ and they gave us a few options. DJ Ivan was great at our wedding

Bialek's was exceptionally easy to work with for our big day. From the straightforward contract and pricing to excellent level of responsiveness, we felt we were in good hands from day one. We especially loved working with our immensely talented DJ, Grant Kuhnsman (aka DJ ARIA). He was very quick to respond to any questions/requests and took some basic parameters we provided to create an awesome dance floor experience for our guests; we've received numerous compliments on how good the music was! He also pays exceptional attention to detail, taking the time to ensure he has the right pronunciation for names and getting all the special songs for different parts of the night just right. Grant also worked well with our caterer and day-of coordinator to make various announcements to guests to facilitate transitions throughout the evening. We really could not have been happier with how everything went. It was great value for the exceptional service provided. We highly recommend Bialek's (and Grant!) to others looking for one less thing to worry about on their wedding day!

Bialeks Music and Aaron were amazing!! I have a fairly picky taste in music and my now husband and I wanted to see if we could play around with our first dance song by mashing up two covers with the original. Aaron was extremely patient with us and sent us multiple versions until we found the perfect one!!! Having a unique first dance song really made our day even more special than I could have imagined! Aaron played exactly what I wanted him to play and took requests that made our party the most fun it could be!! I am sure I was not the easiest person to deal with musically, but Aaron went above and beyond!! We are so glad we chose Bialeks Music and I would highly recommend them to anyone!!!

We booked with Bialek Music for both our wedding cocktail hour music and the reception and we couldn't have been happier with both groups! For the cocktail hour, we had a jazz trio that added a perfect touch to our venue and welcomed our guests to the night. For the reception, we had DJ Phil for our emcee and dj. Phil was AMAZING! From the moment he checked in with our wedding party to the music going all night long, he was a blast and made our evening so special. He also had a really happy and excited vibe that helped us relax our nerves a bit before we got started. A few weeks before the big day we sent Phil our music preferences and he totally nailed it! We highly recommend them for your next event!!

Phil from Bialeks Music was a fantastic DJ. He is extremely thorough and pays attention to all details. He played acoustic guitar for the ceremony and did a great job emceeing the reception. He read the room and played the songs that got people up dancing. A few of my guests said they tried to go sit but his music choices kept them dancing. Highly recommend!!

Brennan Sullivan was the DJ for our wedding and provided an exceptional service. After talking with several other DJs, Brennan hit all of the qualities we were looking for in a DJ. He is well organized, professional and very quick to respond to any of our questions. Brennan guided us through the planning process and explained how the timeline for the reception typically flows. Early on in our discussions we thought a friend would sing during the ceremony and Brennan was more than happy to accommodate the request. Brennan provided some sample play lists for us to choose from, which allowed him to get a feel as to what our musical tastes were rather than have us provide a specific playlist. We asked for additional playlists regarding the special dances and the ceremony when our friend wasn’t able to sing, which proved very helpful! We omitted some specific songs and added a few requests, which Brennan met spot on. He kept a low profile, while providing a key bits of information for the guests to ensure everything stayed on schedule. Brennan did a great job with keeping the energy high so almost everyone was on the dance floor. His equipment was good and the sound was never overpowering, especially since the venue had high ceilings. We would highly recommend Brennan any wedding reception or events where dancing is involved!

I am so incredibly happy I found Phil K. who recommended DJ Aaron Platt to DJ my wedding. As soon as I chatted with both of them I knew right away I made the best decision. He described exactly what I envisioned, and how the music should match the flow of the evening. At our second meeting he created the perfect timeline, and helped guide me through how the evening should unfold and progress. He delivered everything in the manner I desired, and his organization, professionalism, communication, and execution were outstanding. I felt confident in him and he played all the songs I wanted to hear down to the last two dances! He beat matched and kept the flow all night, and the sound quality was excellent. The speeches were very clear and so many of our guests remarked on how good the music was and how it was an unforgettable dance party! His high attention to detail, from making sure he pronounced everyone's names correctly to ensuring my happiness, will assure I recommend his service to others and hire him for any of my future events!!

We used Bialek's to find our ceremony music, band, uplighting, and DJ. The staff is very personable and you feel like you get the utmost attention. We highly recommend them as they have a wide variety of quality musicians. We had a few last minute details that needed ironing out due to weather the week of our wedding, and they were very helpful in accommodating our needs.

DJ Phil Kominsky from Bialek Music was just fabulous from start to finish! He worked with all of our vendors and wedding participants to execute on all of our ideas with no fuss and upbeat enthusiasm. Phil plays guitar and sings, as well as his skill as a DJ, so his ability to perform during our cocktail hour and for our procession was unique and so perfect for the moment. Guests have asked for the play list from our reception, and the dancing didn't stop once it kicked up after dinner. We highly recommend him!!

DJ Phil Kominski was amazing! He was able to play music at the ceremony and then move to the reception (at a separate location) and get everything set up on a tight timeline. He even coordinated with a musician family member to ensure they would be set to play a song at reception. All of his music choices were perfect throughout every part of the day and he is just a pleasure to work with in general. Highly recommend!

I'll be honest - we had a rough start with Bialek's. The DJ we were supposed to talk with missed our scheduled time. Twice. But we were able to have a good conversation with Robin and met with one other person - Andy. It was the best decision we made. Andy was extremely flexible and we used him and his band for the ceremony (acoustic guitar), cocktail hour (three piece band), and reception (DJ). He even played our first dance song live. I would recommend Andy for any wedding as either DJ or band. He will do a fantastic job.

We had an absolute blast with DJ Mike from Bialek's. He was super easy to work with, played all the music we requested and didn't play anything we didn't want to hear. Most importantly, he kept the dance floor full at all times (an empty dance floor being a fear of ours) and did a great job reading the crowd in order to do so. He brought separate set ups for our ceremony and reception and delivered on everything promised. We can't thank him enough for being a part of our special day!

We worked with Bialek's Music and DJ Phil for the sound during our ceremony as well as the DJ for the reception. We could not have been happier with both the final result and their work throughout the process. DJ Phil did an excellent job leading up to the wedding day in terms of communication, questions, and accommodating our own personal requests. He did an excellent job reading the crowd, playing a mix of music that everyone could dance to, and kept people dancing all night! As an added bonus to his exceptional A/V and DJ'ing skills, he is extremely nice and pleasant to work with. We highly recommend him for your wedding or any major event. We also rented a photobooth from Bialek’s. This was a hit with our guests and the attendant was a lot of fun. They even provided us with digital copies after the wedding for us to share in case our guests did not remember to grab their print outs that night.

I booked DJ Aria (Grant Kuhnsman) for the reception and Palm Strings Quartet for the ceremony and cocktail hour. I also booked a photo booth with Bialek's. Let me start off by saying how wondering Palm Strings Quartet was. Every single guest was impressed with their playlist and song choices, especially when they played Disney and Game of Thrones songs. They were flawless! The photo booth was also a hit and the photo booth operators that helped out were fabulous! Now for the DJ. BEST DJ EVERRR! Seriously. DJ Aria made our wedding the party that we wanted it to be. People are still talking about how great he was! He played everything we wanted and more. He did live mixes which was amazing and kept people on the dance floor all night. He was easy to work with and let us pick and choose music to play and to not play, and helped us organize our reception outline. I cannot say enough good things about Bialek's music!

UNPROFESSIONAL! UNRELIABLE! Truly disappointed to hear how this company has lost hundreds of wedding photos that I personally was a part of with no regard for the couple, their memories, or the financial investment they made in a local small business. Unprofessional! I personally attended this wedding and took at least 6 or 7 different sets of photobooth pictures; which the guests as well as the bride and groom were repeatedly assured the bride and groom would receive copies of. They didn't even have the decency to call when they lost their photos. These memories CANNOT be recreated.

We hired the Palm Strings for our wedding and were so happy that we did! The group did a phenomenal job and we kept hearing great things from our guests who enjoyed their music at our cocktail hour! I only heard them play during our ceremony and it was so beautiful! They were so friendly and complimented our ceremony and wedding! Would highly recommend for your next event!

DJ Aria (Grant Kuhnsman) was phenomenal! He was professional and responsive, listening to our cares and concerns and answering our questions with honesty during the planning process. Grant put together a playlist that appealed to a range of guests and knew exactly what to play and when. The dancing music was a great mix of classics and throwbacks, keeping the dance floor packed, and the cocktail hour and dinner music was soft and romantic, setting the mood and allowing guest to actually hear each other. His focus is not on being a flashy entertainer, but on playing great music and setting the stage. We received countless positive comments about him and cannot thank him enough! Highly recommend!

DJ Ray was professional and is an experienced wedding DJ. My multi-cultural music was perfectly selected and played by DJ Ray. Great value

Our wedding was this past weekend and we were lucky enough to book Bialek's Music company. Phil Kominski was our DJ. He is AWESOME! He was so attentive to our requests and is just a great guy. I highly recommend using this company, and if you need a DJ - ask for Phil!!

We worked with DJ Ricky Bulles through Bialek’s, and we’re thrilled with his work through the day. We had him play music for us for our ceremony, mic our officiant, dj the cocktail hour (although we’d selected an instrumental album to play straight through) , then dinner and the reception: requiring three set-ups in different rooms of our venue. He handled it all seamlessly and with great professionalism and fun. He had all of our guests out on the dance floor the entire night. So many of our friends have kept talking about how great the music was (and with only three or four requests from our end- we can’t take the credit!). He clearly read the room and settled into the preferences very well. As a bonus, he video’d a good amount of the dancing, and cut together a video for us, at no added cost. We didn’t want a videographer, and I didn’t expect to feel strongly about it either way: but he managed to catch some real gems, and I can’t stop watching it! We’re so glad to have this extra touch to remember the night.

We hired Bialek's for stringed instruments for our ceremony and cocktail hour music. We chose String Along and we couldn't have been happier. I wanted traditional wedding songs during the ceremony and anything they could adapt from classic rock (which they have a pretty large collection) during the cocktail hour. That was important to me and they nailed it. My guests loved them and they were worth every affordable penny. We would hire them again in a heartbeat and I would recommend them to anyone looking for strings for an event/wedding!

Aaron at Bialek's was the DJ for our wedding and we couldn't have asked for anyone better. He was professional, organized, and prepared; before the wedding, he scheduled a call with me to make sure we knew everything we needed to do, and he even visited the venue on his own to get familiar with it. During the event, he did a great job of feeling out the room and knew exactly what to play -- even with our multicultural audience. Thank you for making our wedding so special!

I hired Dj Rich from Bialek's Music and it was the best decision I've ever made. He has the best DJ voice, he called me prior to the meeting to go over everything. On the day of he made it a point to meet myself and my husband before the reception began. When there were a few changes to the timeline he just went along with it. He also added some fun activities for us to do after the cake cutting that I didn't even think of. People to this day are still telling me how amazing of a DJ he was.

We hired DJ Dan for our wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made! Dan provided us with cocktail hour and reception music as well as up-lighting. What was clear throughout the night is that Dan is an experienced pro. He made sure the reception flowed flawlessly and kept everyone (really!) dancing all night. My dad, who was initially disappointed that we weren't hiring a band, was extremely impressed and I think DJ Dan convinced him that DJs can be just as great as a band. Both Dan and Bialek's were extremely communicative and responsive throughout the process. If you're looking for an excellent DJ who keeps everyone dancing, I highly recommend DJ Dan!

We had a great experience working with DJ Dan Goldman from Bialek’s! He provided fantastic music for our wedding reception and so many of our guests commented on what a great DJ he was. He also provided uplightling which made the venue that much more beautiful. Dan was easy to work with and had a neat software that made the planning process for building the requested do/do not play lists easy.

We hired String Along duo through Bialek's for our ceremony and cocktail hour and they were great! The music was beautiful.

We hired DJ Quentin Fletcher from Bialek's for our wedding ceremony and reception, and he was absolutely perfect. We had spoken on the phone a couple of times but hadn't met until the wedding day on Sept. 2, 2017, in Washington, DC. Quentin was so fun and easy to work with. He helped coordinate the ceremony so everyone knew when to make their entrance. And when we started dancing after dinner, he was able to accommodate a few last-minute requests from me (the bride) without hesitation. I come from a big Indian family and Quentin accepted a pretty sizable list of Hindi songs to play during the cocktail hour and reception. He easily incorporated those songs on our list of Top 40 hits and kept people on the dance floor all night! Quentin is amazing and you can't go wrong in hiring him and Bialek's for your event.

We used Bialek's Music for our DJ booking for our July 2017 wedding on the recommendation of our caterer (Corcoran Caterers). WOW -- DJ Michael Cruz outdid himself for us. The dance floor was packed all night long. Michael read the crowd beautifully and adjusted the music to keep our guests entertained all night long. We had supplied a master list of music that we liked and he integrated that list with his expertise to keep guests of all ages dancing throughout the night. We also appreciated Michael for providing the music during our ceremony. He was wonderful, attentive and on cue. Michael was great to work with. We'd give him 6 stars if we could. His participation in our wedding is something we'll never forget and our guests are still buzzing with how good he was. Bravo, Michael!

The best decision we made was to have DJ Brennan Sullivan for our wedding at the Omni Shoreham! We had such an eclectic group for our wedding and were concerned about everyone joining in but Brennan truly made the party! He ensured the entire crowd was dancing all night and was a true professional to work with! Definitely the BEST call we made for our wedding!

My husband and I were referred to Bialek's Music by our wedding venue as a preferred vendor and we couldn't have been happier! Robin was available to listen to what we desired for our wedding reception and connect us with DJ Elon to DJ and MC our special day. DJ Elon was great! From the beginning he seemed to really understand what were looking for and made the whole process effortless. We were looking for a DJ/MC that could have a fun personality and an ability to keep our small group of 70 wedding guests dancing, and he definitely came through! He was also able to provide uplighting and a screen a projector for a picture slideshow that played during the reception. It was exactly as we'd hoped it would be and we all had a great time dancing the night away thanks to DJ Elon!

Brennan Sullivan was our DJ for our wedding and has to be one of the best DJ's out there. From the first initial introduction there was a connection and we knew we wanted Brennan to be our DJ and MC for the night of our wedding. Brennan not only made the evening enjoyable he was top notch with his song selection and kept the event engaged and ensured everyone was having a good time. He made the planning process so easy and was always available when I had questions. We are still receiving great comments from friends and family about how great and nice the DJ was at our wedding. Great Job Brennan! Highly recommend hiring Brennan for any special event you have.

Bialek's Music was great and super professional and responsive! We used them to book the Palm Strings Quartet for the ceremony, a pianist for the cocktail hour and the photo booth for our wedding reception at Hotel Monaco in DC. Everything was fantastic and they were always super responsive to my emails when I had questions! The guests remarked how lovely the quartet was and what a nice touch it was to have the pianist during the cocktail hour. And the photo booth was a major hit during our reception and gave guests something else to do besides dancing! Highly recommend them for a wedding or special event!

Brennan Sullivan was the DJ for our wedding at the Carnegie Institute for Science earlier this month. He did a phenomenal job from the beginning of our planning through our wedding. Brennan is very responsive to calls and e-mails and clearly cares about his clients. He remembered all the conversations that we had and listened to all of our requests. He is also very detailed and made several suggestions that we hadn't even thought about. He even assisted us on our timeline! We were not worried at all leading up to our wedding and for good reason. He played music for us during our ceremony, the cocktail hour, and reception. Brennan played the type of music that we wanted and flowed from song to song seamlessly. He also did a great job emceeing, as there were people on the dance floor the entire night! We also got a photobooth from Bialek's that was a huge hit. We would HIGHLY RECOMMEND hiring Bialek's, and specifically, Brennan Sullivan as a DJ for your wedding!!

DJ Dan Goldman was amazing to work with! He responded to all of my questions immediately. Was very patient and helpful. Incorporated American and Persian music for a very diverse crowd of 180 and really set the tone for the night. He also provided uplighting and draping at a great price and looked beautiful. I highly recommend!

We used DJ Randy Richmond of Bialek's music at our recent wedding ceremony and could not have been more impressed with his service. Prior to the event, he spent about 30 minutes on the phone with us getting a sense of how we wanted our ceremony and what type of music we wanted played. DJ Randy followed our instructions to a T and was able to accommodate all requests from guests as well. We highly recommend him and the other professionals from Bialek's music.

We were so happy to know that Elon was going to be the DJ at our wedding! From the very beginning, he made sure to communicate well with us about how things would work and tried to assure us of how smoothly everything would go. He worked with us on the wedding timeline and we always felt confident that he knew what he was doing! Elon came to us already with a recommendation and we are so glad that we listened. We had several conversations prior to the wedding about song lists and dances and he always was very warm and enthusiastic! Elon did a great job with the variety in the music that he played and we appreciate very much all that he did to make the night go so well! Thank you so much, Elon!!

DJ Brennan Sullivan was absolutely spectacular! He kept the entire crowd dancing all night! Brennan struck an amazing balance between classic dance hits and contemporary music. The crowd did not want the night to end, and continually begged him for one more song! Brennan was amazing to work with throughout the entire process. From our first phone call with him, he helped guide our music selections. He gave us a ton of sample playlists that we were able to mix and match. You can give him as much or as little direction as you want. He is very flexible and really listens to all of your requests and needs. He also had a superb ability to read the crowd throughout the night. I’ve never seen so many people dancing at a wedding in my life! Brennan also helped the whole wedding run very smoothly and did a superior job making announcements and transitions between parts of the night. He has a great presence and is a clear, charismatic speaker. So many of my guests told me it was the best dance party they had ever been to and they all told me how much they loved the DJ! If you want your guests of all ages to dance all night long, you must choose Brennan! You will not regret it, he will ensure that your guests have the time of their lives!

We booked our quartet, Champagne Consort, through Bialeks and they were fantastic! Really flexible, easy to work with and put on a great show. I definitely recommend them for anyone needing a quartet!

Brennan Sullivan was our DJ from Bialek's and he was incredible! We received so many compliments from guests about Brennan and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. We truly appreciate his thorough attention to detail and being able to seamlessly switch things up last minute. A few things did change that night that was different from our planning, and Brennan was able to transition without any issues. We had so much fun that night and Brennan made such great music selections, which kept the party going! During the wedding process you deal with a lot of vendors (some living up to what they say and some not), but Brennan most certainly surpassed any expectation and we truly appreciate it. In fact, our event manager even commented to us later that Brennan was exceptionally professional with the other vendors, and even pitched in on the clean up! Overall, it's impossible to have a better experience than we did with Brennan. If we could give him 10 stars we would!

Hey, Yelp, I need ten stars for Brennan Sullivan. I don't even know where to begin in describing what a sweet, wonderful and amazing experience I had working with Brennan and Bialek's music. Right after my booking, Brennan sent me a "Hello" email and always responded immediately if I had any questions. We had a few deaf guests at my 60th birthday party, along with a performance, and Brennan handled everything so beautifully. He arrived in plenty of time to set up, was prepared, polished and kind to all my guests. Also, his personality blended so perfectly with the tone of the evening. He even got out on the dance floor and led a few line dances. I don't think anyone sat down for more than a few minutes as his playlist rocked the house. Even when the dancing started to wind down, he was just as upbeat and gave us our "Last Dance" with my close friends. Thank you, Brennan, and thank you, Bialek's, as you truly made the evening the special occasion that I had imagined that it would be and more.

What incredible talent. The sounds of our wedding ... How incredibly amazing. We first met Bialek's Music during a wedding expo and we liked how engaging and informative they were. During the coming months we searched for a DJ and harpist. I recalled our meeting with Bialek and reached out. The immediately got back to me and what an amazing experience. We had a choice of their very talented DJ 's. We finally narrowed down to 2 and chose Michael Cruz AKA DJ Cuban. He arrived on time. Set up the up lighting we requested which made everything so elegant and amazing. We gave him our play list. The night was amazing. Now back to the ceremony and our harpist Gail Shanta. How very talented and engaging. Everyone loved her. How magical you have made our evening. Thank you so very much.

DJ Brennan Sullivan was amazing! He kept everyone dancing and having fun all night. We were thrilled to receive so many compliments from our guests about him. We used DJ Brennan for our ceremony, cocktail, and reception music. During the months leading up to our event, DJ Brennan could not have made the planning process any easier. He gave us a number of options regarding playlists and timelines that we used as a baseline to start our planning of our music. We ended up sending him a small list of must-plays, do-not-plays, and just a general sense of the types of genres we wanted to have....and he knocked it out of the park. DJ Brennan's professionalism, thoroughness, and flexibility throughout the entire process helped assure us that the music at our wedding was in good hands, which was a huge weight off our chests. I would highly recommend DJ Brennan for any event in the future!

DJ Dan was simply fantastic. He provided the music and the MC-ing. It was seamless. I could not have been happier. He also provided the uplighting and the photobooth - both of which were simply amazing. While we did not get a chance to spend too much time with him, our guests closed down the venue! Everyone had just a wonderful time!! A bride could not have asked for anything more! :)

DJ Dan Goldman did an excellent job as wedding DJ, and I recommend him highly.

We contacted Bailek at fairly short notice (2 months before wedding) and they were efficient and professional in their service. They provided several DJ options and the one we picked, DJ Elon, was great and perfect for our needs. We also picked a solo guitarist for the reception drinks and he was also good. Would definitely recommend and use again.

Everyone at the wedding had a great time! DJ Grimm had a great sense of the crowd and pace of the reception! The dance floor was busy all night. We also had uplighting and a photobooth which everyone loved.

I hired Bialek Music to DJ and do the uplights for my wedding. They did a great job all around. From the beginning were great at returning my calls and getting me answers with specific cost breakdowns right away. They also mentioned they could do uplights in addition to the music, and it turned out their price to do both was better than any price I got for just a DJ! They made it really easy to decide to use them, but I had a special request - to have their DJ do ambient music the groom and I chose for the reception and to also do a silent disco for the guests who wanted to dance. This is where DJ Ricardo of Bialek Music was a rock star. He was really keen on trying out the silent disco set-up (it was his first time). He took delivery of the materials, tested their functionality, and returned them on-time after the wedding for only a little bit extra cost. During my reception, he had one stream of music going for the guests who wanted to chat, and he simultaneously oversaw a dance floor with music he chose and piped into the headphones of all the people who wanted to dance. It was perfect. DJ Ricardo was amazing. I couldn't be happier with hiring Bialek Music to take care of the music and uplights for my wedding.

Brennan Sullivan is a remarkably talented DJ and MC. He far exceeded any and all expectations we had for a DJ at our wedding and we cannot recommend him highly enough. From the very beginning Brennan took a great deal of time corresponding with us, getting to know us as a couple and honoring our specific desires for the reception. He was organized and efficient in dealing with the logistics of planning the event, had a very effective system for understanding what kind of music we wanted played, and paid close attention to even the smallest details. He provided a comprehensive timeline for the reception and, on the day of the wedding, adhered to it perfectly, making everything run smoothly and allowing us to completely relax and enjoy a beautiful celebration. We were both so impressed with his ability to assess the room and create an elegant and fun atmosphere. Professional, prepared, and incredibly kind; we highly recommend Brennan Sullivan as a DJ for your special event! Wedding: 07/26/2015

We used DJ Dan for our wedding and could not have been more pleased. Our venue was a bit complex in that our ceremony was outside, the cocktail hour was inside and outside, the speeches were in one room, and the dancing was in another room. DJ Dan was absolutely perfect. He made it so that your outdoor ceremony was able to heard by every guest, the cocktail hour and dinner music was perfect, the speeches/microphones were flawless, and the dancing... the dancing was AMAZING. Truly, I would say 90% of our guests were on the dance floor for the entire evening from beginning to end. The music was absolutely perfect and kept the party going all night. DJ Dan was incredibly professional, very responsive and easy to work with. Hands down one of the best vendors that we selected for our wedding and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ. Thank you, DJ Dan!!!

DJ Dan Goldman was the DJ for our wedding ceremony and reception at Glenview Mansion. He was so easy to work with from the planning stages all the way to the execution. He was friendly and made our wedding the fun party we were looking to have-- everyone danced the night away! He accommodated all of our requests and also gave us a military discount. He also did the ceremony music, which went perfectly. DJ Dan helped make our day perfect and comes highly recommended!

We had our wedding at the Westin Arlington Gateway on June 13, 2015 and we had the pleasure of working with DJ Brennan Sullivan from Bialek's Music. We live in San Francisco and planned a wedding across country and they were able to make planning and the actual day so easy. DJ Brennan was fantastic. He was able to feel the crowd out and make the night exciting for everyone. I recommend him for any event that you may need. We also used Bialek's music for the uplighting and photobooth at our event. The staff that set up the lights and photobooth were extremely professional and friendly.

Did such a great job lighting the ballroom at Army Navy Country Club and the photobooth was so fun! I loved getting the option to let everyone have their own copy of the pictures and then having one put into a book to save for the bride and groom. The pictures printed so fast and everyone enjoyed themselves! Great job!

Working with Bialek is a breeze. Ray and his team are very responsive and get back to you right away with quotes and information about their available acts. And they have a lot to choose from, depending on your style and price level. We used DJ Rico for our wedding. He was reasonably priced, on time, professional, and offered a wide selection of music. We went in thinking we'd play a lot of Motown and blues, but the crowd wanted more dancing music. Rico picked up on the vibe and made the necessary adjustments without missing a beat! He kept the party rolling and made sure we had a great event.

We worked with Bialek and DJ Brennan Sullivan in particular for our wedding day, and we could not have been happier with our choice. Bialek was very helpful in guiding us on our lighting, photo booth, and DJ contracts, selecting high tech lights that offered an array of options for the uplighting during the wedding that captured the mood during each part of the wedding. We were initially hesitant to order a photo booth just because of utility, but it turned out to be a hit at the wedding and working all three through Bialeks made the whole process much simpler. Brennan was very helpful in guiding us for picking our ceremony, cocktail, dinner, and dancing with various options for each part and portion. He adhered to our do not play requests, and masterfully captured the mood of the crowd throughout the night, playing hits from across several decades. Guests throughout the night came up to us and could not believe how much fun they were having dancing, some even saying that “was the most dancing I have done in years!” DJ Brennan was very familiar with the acoustics in our venue (Carnegie Institute for Science), making the overall sound quality perfect during the ceremony, various toasts, and the dancing. Even at the end of the night, Brennan checked with us to make sure that all the songs we wanted to play were played. There was one song that my brothers really wanted to play, and after asking if that was okay, he without hesitation played the song, much to everyone’s excitement. Afterwards, he asked if there was anything else we thought of, had issues with, and genuinely sought our feedback on his performance, which was nothing short of perfect. Overall, Bialek s customer service, multitude of options, flexibility, and experienced DJs make the company a perfect selection for your wedding and party event!

We used DJ Dan Goldman from this company and he was great. He made picking the songs easy and helped set up the timeline for how all the speeches and first dances should flow. Could not have picked a better DJ.

We just had our wedding this last weekend and used Bialek's Music as the provider. I cannot say enough good things about both the vendor and the musician, John Ware. He was able to play exactly the songs we had in mind for the wedding as well as the reception. If you are looking for a vendor who supplies a variety of artists - this is it! I believe they also provide lighting and photo booth services, which we did not use, but is good to know!

Selection: Bialek's Music was recommended to us by the venue coordinator. I interviewed 2 companies. Ray Bialek was extremely helpful. He gave me lots of pointers on things to think about relative to the event. He was not doing a "hard sell" for his services, but rather, how to approach the whole event and what was important to us. DJ: Brennan Sullivan - the groom did all the preliminary interviews with many DJs. I did the "final signoff." I could not have been happier with Brennan. He was very professional and extremely organized. He was my main contact for all music concerns and the lighting coordination as well. He gave us suggestions for music guidelines and templates to complete for the event (must plays, do NOT plays, etc). He did an excellent job mediating all the concerns of all parties involved. He did an great job of getting the intro clips to just the right length and section of the songs. At 11:30 pm, 80% of our guests were still there and on the dance floor. My suggestions to all bride/grooms is to remember that you are hiring a professional DJ. Give him MUST plays and do NOT plays, but don't create a playlist for the whole evening - let the DJ read the crowd and keep it moving. Palm Strings: Quartet for the pre-ceremony and cocktail hour. Honesty, I did not hear the pre-music, but thoroughly enjoyed the cocktail music. Neil gave us suggested lists to choose from, and also asked for MUST plays. He gave suggestions for the various entrances. We had an outdoor ceremony - we should have looked into amplification for the entrances as I could not really hear it due to the venue. The cocktail hour volume was perfect (indoor side ballroom). Lighting: Incredible value and bang for the buck. Totally finished off the ballroom with ambience. Had one color (amber) for the dinner, and then it "jazzed up" for the reception - nothing too fancy - just some periodic color changes, but make a huge impact. Only regret is that we did not think about the ceremony amplification - and went with the A/V equipment thru the venue. Did not realize how pricey the hotel would be. I am sure I would have done better thru Bialek's (and probably would have had better sound for the pre-ceremony). We selected the venue first, and were interviewing Music and Wedding Coordinators at the same time. (All recommended by the venue). The coordinated we liked also worked extensively with Bialek's and with DJ Brennan. We ended with almost all vendors who worked together frequently and liked working with each other.

We had DJ Cruz from Bialek's music at our wedding, we are a bilingual couple (English/Spanish), DJ Cruz is bilingual, he was awesome!!! DJ Cruz had the party dancing all night long. He is able to read the wedding guest and to play the music that gets the party going. He is very kind, flexible and easy going. The day of the wedding I forgot the garter and thus I tossed my bouquet and my husband tossed his boutonniere at the single men, DJ Cruz was flexible and able to always keep the party going. He was never intrusive, and we all did the cupid shuffle at the end of the party :) I highly recommend him! Classy, fun and kind!

My husband and I were so pleased by Bialek's recommendation of harpist, Gail Shanta. The beautiful sound of the harp was the perfect finishing touch for our intimate wedding celebration. Gail was an absolute delight to work with. She is a true professional and a gifted musician. When we were unsure of the musical selections, Gail helped us select the most romantic and meaningful songs to accompany our Jewish ceremony. Gail and Bialek's are every bit deserving of a 5 star rating!

The musicians played our classic wedding selections absolutely beautifully. We received so many compliments from our guests about the musicians.

I used Bialeks for my wedding because they were familiar with the venue (The Tower Club). It was AMAZING. The contact at the company was really responsive and helpful. I didn't know which DJ I wanted, so he suggested DJ Rich based on my wedding style and it was spot on! The DJ requested all of the pertinent information before the wedding and was able to customize the songs and order to my wishes. He kept things moving and the dance floor was literally NEVER empty. NEVER! He did all of our special moments (cake, garter toss, bouquet toss) in a fun manner that kept the guests engaged, but didn't take away from the party time. We debated up lights, but declined due to budget issues, the DJ's Lights were great! We didn't end up needing them with our space. I have zero complaints - it was well worth the money. Everyone from the 20 somethings to the 70 somethings tore up the dance floor all night long.

Everyone loved DJ Dan Goldman who provided a great mix that kept the party going. He is very responsive and just an all around nice guy. It was a pleasure to work with him and I would wholly recommend Bialek to anyone!

We had Dan Goldman as our DJ and we were extremely happy with the music he provided. Bialeks also provided the up lighting and photo booth for our wedding which also were a huge hit. There was a line for the photo booth the entire night. The backdrop was great and showed up well in pictures. DJ Dan kept people on the dance floor the entire night and was able to entertain guests of all ages. It was a pleasure to work with them and I would recommend Bialek's to other brides and grooms looking for a DJ and/or lighting services in the DC area.

We hired Brennan Sullivan as our DJ for the ceremony and reception on our wedding day (July 5, 2014 at the Hotel Monaco in Alexandria VA). Throughout the entire process, from hiring to day-of, Brennan was perfect! Once we made the decision to go with Bialek and hire a DJ, we found out Brennan was available and he reached out to set up a call with my fiancé and I in order to make sure we were a good fit with him and to ensure he understood our vision for the wedding. We planned a station party style reception, and during our call discussed the style of the event, the theme, the demographics of our guests, and our personal music preferences. My fiancé and I have VERY different tastes in music, but he laughed with us throughout the questionnaire and provided excellent suggestions. Following our first conversation, Brennan sent us an email with lists of suggestions for each special dance to help us make some decisions. He was very patient while we came up with the timeline (and revised it a few times). On the day of the wedding, Brennan was there early and setup everything quickly. He was excellent during the event and was flexible playing to our guests responses to the dance floor. There were a few small time changes based on food service and the photographer's plans and Brennan just made it work. Since the wedding, we have had so many people tell us how great the music was throughout the night. He was excellent throughout the event and I would absolutely recommend him for a future event!!

We got married about a month ago and had a great ceremony and reception. DJ Brennan Sullivan from Bialek's Music was our DJ. He was excellent. Brennan was integral to our pre-ceremony atmosphere, the ceremony itself and the entire reception. We didn't plan our wedding over a year and found Brennan only a few weeks before the wedding. He was great to work with over the phone and email. He guided us through what he needed to make our wedding run flawless. He took our vision and styles and made sure we had exactly the wedding reception we wanted. Brennan took the ball and ran with it. Brennan also provided the music for our ceremony and with very little notice he got all of the timing for each song just right. All it took was a few emails and he did the rest. We couldn't have been happier with our choice. We received many glowing comments from our family and friends. We had a small wedding and there were many kids. Brennan kept the party fun for everyone. From start to finish he was a professional. We highly recommend Brennan for any wedding, but especially those people who want someone they can depend on to keep your reception running smooth and keep the party going!

Bialek's team and Gerardo Moreno delivered a phenomenal experience. The music and style of Gerardo Moreno was the perfect compliment to the cocktail portion of our wedding - professional, amazing sound (if you like latin guitar/gypsy kings)..and great for those who wanted to get their dancing on early! The contract process could have been smoother in terms of selection and finalizing the details - but once that was done we didn't have to worry about one thing - thank you to Ray Bialek and his team and accolades as always to Gerardo Moreno and company.

Extremely professional, friendly, responsive, and plays to the crowd. We had 1/2 American 1/2 African guests and both had music to enjoy. Plus he's an overall nice guy!

Bialek's Music was amazing! They were so easy to work with and easy to contact as well. This company has a list of DJ's at all different price ranges so it was very convenient for me. They helped me find a DJ fitting my musical taste. They found the perfect person to be the DJ at my wedding and all of my wedding guests loved him! If my friend's have a wedding in the future around the DMV area, I would definitely recommend Bialek's Music to them.

Bialek’s - specifically DJ Brennan Sullivan - was a fantastic addition to our wedding celebration. He was more than willing to accommodate our music preferences and requests for the wedding, which was very important to us on our big day. In addition to providing a lot of energy and enthusiasm during our wedding, Brennan was exremely helpful as we began thinking about the music for our wedding reception through his helpful lists and planning tools as well as helping us think through our needs for microphones and wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception timing. Brennan not only incorporated his personal experience with our venue but also leveraged the experience of his colleagues at Bialek’s to ensure we had the best set-up for our venue while helped ease concerns we had about how to best maximize dance floor space and engagement of our guests. We would highly recommend Bialek’s - especially DJ Brennan. Thank you Brennan for your help!
