If I could give Don & Sue a million stars, I would! This duo was amazing. Don was a master behind the booth, and Sue was an intoxicating MC! Sue and Don played at my wedding and made that day so memorable. Sue was very attentive, making sure my husband and I had everything we wanted. Don was playing every song I wanted, and I could not leave the dance floor! My guests could not stop talking about how wonderful they were!

Sue and Don were amazing for my wedding last Saturday! I can’t thank them enough! If you are looking for an MC/DJ combo they are the best! Sue has amazing energy, is the life of the party and works hard to make a bride’s vision come to life. Don took our wedding song suggestions and made it all the better! If you are in need of a DJ/MC, look no further and book them today!

I could not have asked for a better DJ! Derek Heckler was amazing. He understood the vibes for each part of the wedding and executed perfectly. The ceremony songs I picked specifically but everything else was on him. I had stated I was very alternative/emo, and my husband is more hip hop/rap. DJ Derek melded those perfectly together. All the younger people partied on the dance floor all night, and all the older folks have told me how much fun it was to watch us get excited and dance to each new song. I cannot recommend Derek enough!!!!

We and all of our wedding guests absolutely loved Dance Masters Entertainment! Before our wedding, we had multiple planning calls with Sue, Don, and Chris in order to create the best timeline for not only DJ events, but for the entire wedding schedule of events. We had Chris as our DJ and he was perfect! He arrived early to set up and sync with our officiant, timing all of the ceremony songs perfectly with the details of the script and the wedding party movements. We didn’t use any wedding planners or external day of coordinators, but Chris definitely filled that role and helped make sure that all the events in our schedule occurred seamlessly. A few things need to shift slightly in the timeline, and Chris made sure that all of the wedding party, venue staff, photographers, and guests were synced flawlessly. We had almost 200 guests with very varied and generationally different music taste and Chris kept the entire dance floor packed for the entire wedding! We also had Sue choregraph and teach us our first dance. Without having any dancing experience, she walked us through everything and we felt very comfortable throughout the entire process. We ended up having so much fun with the dance and it will be something we will look back on fondly forever! Dance Masters is the best and we cannot recommend their entire team enough to any other future wedding couples!

Hiring Dance Masters Entertainment to DJ at my wedding was one of the best decisions that I could have made! Both Sue (MC) and Don (DJ) were impressively energetic and joyful throughout the entire night and displayed the perfect balance between being professionals and life of the party (without overshadowing me and my husband). I received compliment after compliment from my bridal party and guests saying how much fun they were having because of them. Music has been a very important part of my life and therefore was also very important to me for my wedding. Prior to the wedding, Sue and Don worked closely with me to make sure that I got everything that I had envisioned. We had an initial call to establish a baseline idea of my vision for the wedding and then a call a few weeks beforehand to iron out the details. They utilized my playlists for my prelude, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception selections down to the “T”. Before my ceremony, Don made sure to play the list of songs I had provided to him and Sue checked in with both me and my day of coordinator to make sure that we knew that she was there for more than just MC duties. They also worked closely with my officiant to ensure that he was comfortable with his mic and with everything he needed to do during the ceremony including getting out of the shot of our first kiss. Post ceremony and cocktail hour photos, Sue came back to my dressing room to assist my maid of honor and bridesmaid with my 11-tie dress bustle. She also made sure that my fiancé and I got a minute to breathe and eat some food before the reception started. During cocktail hour, Don played upbeat and fun hits from my requested era of music. For my reception, Sue assisted my day of coordinator with rounding up my bridal party and getting us all in line to be announced out. She was clear with directions on where to go and what to do and made adjustments on the fly when we requested a change in the lineup. She was energetic and got everyone pumped for the reception. From there, she was regularly checking in with me to make sure that we had everything we needed from drinks to a fan when I got overheated. She was on the dance floor keeping the party going while Don played all the hits requested. They had excellent props and an attendant that helped everyone navigate through the Photo Booth process. They printed multiple copies of the photos and created an album with the printouts and any messages that the guests wanted to leave. They will also be sending us a dropbox with all the images. It was wonderful to look through that with my husband today. I knew Sue and Don prior to hiring them for my wedding. They had DJ’ed at my elementary school’s end of the year festival every year that I was there. Back then they were energetic and fun even for kids. Don played fun and upbeat kid appropriate music while Sue MC’ed and both taught us how to do line dances and danced with us in general. They helped create very happy fond memories of my childhood. I cannot recommend them enough. If you want to have a fun wedding, you need to hire them! They are worth many more stars than I can give on this review. Thank you, Sue and Don for making my special day so magical. It was everything I could’ve dreamed of!

Our wedding reception was in great hands with Derek as our DJ! He handled our unique music picks with an expert hand (Godzilla etc...) Guests were on the dance floor all night and had tons of compliments on his selections and transitions. He even did special research for our Shoe game questions (DnD etc.) Everything ran smoothly and on-time with the little things taken care of and if he had a question, we got on the same page quickly. He knew our venue and coordinated with the other vendors with ease. Thanks to him and the whole team!

Don and Sue went above and beyond for my wedding. They aren’t only a DJ. The services they provided me and my guests were SUPERB. Sue hyped me up and assisted me with my nerves and showing me exactly what to do and when. She even fixed my dress multiple times because my bustle broke! She even helped put my bustle up. They were able to make changes to the music or extend or shorted special dances. Don was fantastic with “checking” in with me (the bride) during the music time and all I had to do with give them a nod or a look to keep or change the music. Sue was fantastic on the mic for wedding party reception entrances. She was so hands-on with the dance floor to keep the party going! I wonder recommend them 10000x times to everyone!!!!

I gave a loose set of guidelines for the music I would like and our DJ did an amazing job creating the perfect vibes for the night. Everyone was so kind and professional. Additionally, Don and Sue were so pleasant to speak with and helped us so much in our planning process. If you are in the fence about this company, just go for it!! You will not regret it

Don and Sue were incredible at our wedding (11/30/24). Seriously, I can't emphasize that enough. We had some very specific music requests.. well, not some, a LOT of specific music requests (including niche and even "custom" songs).. and they still worked with us on everything. Some of it was even last minute, and they still put up with us.
But the real VIP was Sue, who took on the "day of coordinator" role as a perk of the package. We didn't think we needed a day of coordinator... now I can't imagine having done it without Sue! Holy cow, she was awesome. She was so friendly and warm but knew exactly how to run a wedding top to bottom. She didn't give me, the bride, even a second to stress about anything, she had ironed out the whole day! She emceed, directed, kept us on schedule, adjusted dresses and boutonnieres. No task too big or small.
Thank you Sue and Don for making our day so special! Would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat.

I had such a specific vision for the music at my wedding -- I had created custom tracks for the father-daughter dance and bridal entrances, and I had curated the entire playlist for the reception. DJ Derek was so patient with me as I explained my vision and he executed it perfectly. He rolled with a couple of in the moment requests and our friends were dancing their butts off all night! Highly recommend Dance Masters for your special day.

I will never be able to thank DME, and specifically DJ Derek, for throwing a hell of a show for us! Derek had our music PERFECT! He was able to capture our song requests that covered 5 different languages like it was easy peasy. He was entertaining and so easy to work with. His wife, Jen, from DME, was our Photo Booth attendant and she was amazing as well! Super kind, and made us a copy of all the Photo Booth pictures taken and made an album for us! They really went above and beyond, and the day was flawless thanks to DME!!!

When I initially contacted Dance Masters, I had informed them of my concern that people wouldn't get on the dance floor. They assured me that they knew just the team for this, and Don and Sue did not disappoint! They kept guests on the dance floor the entire time with their energy and a fantastic mix of music that gave guests of all ages something to dance to. I appreciate Don and Sue so much for their energy and their kindness - they helped us with every detail and they really did think of everything. They made the planning process so much easier than I imagined it to be with their very well thought out planning website. All the guests I've talked with since the wedding day have made a point to share with me how much they loved the DJ and MC (Don and Sue)! We are so grateful to have had them there and for helping to give us the wedding of our dreams!

Sue and Don provided the music for our wedding 25 years ago, and they made our day more than we could imagine. Their passion and attention to detail was beyond what you would expect from a DJ. So we were thrilled when we were able to hire them for our daughter and her fiancé’s wedding. 25 years later, and Sue and Don have never been matched by any DJ I have ever met. Sue took care of my daughter like she was a princess, the same she took care of me on my wedding day, from bustling up the dress to making sure they had food and drink. She kept the guests entertained and mingled with them as if she were a guest at our wedding, which put everyone in a great mood. Sue reads the room like a pro and knew when to add her touches to make a moment even more special.
Don was amazing in playing exactly the kind of music we had requested and kept things moving all day. I was touched that he took the time to talk to the bridal party about their speeches and how he enjoyed them.
The bridal party had a get-together after the festivities ended, and couldn’t stop talking about how much fun they had because of Sue and Don.

Sue and Don were the best DJ and emcee combo we could have asked for! They are extremely professional, responsive, kind, and not to mention the best hype people to get the party started for our wedding. They consistently keep in touch throughout the wedding process and prior to the wedding are very thorough in ensuring that all of the music selection is finalized including what to play and when to play it. Sue also always goes above and beyond to make sure our day was special (not to mention she assisted with bustling my dress when my bridesmaids needed assistance). Her entrance introductions as well as coordination and transitions helped us have a seamless day and we could not thank her and Don enough.

He was extremely personable and helped to make our big day the best day of our lives. We very highly recommend using them for your big day if you want to be dancing the night away.

He can really read a crowd- and has the best remixes, the guests raved about him! He is also very personable and interactive, he got up and danced with the crowd SO many times- it was simply amazing. The dance floor never slowed down thanks to him.
We also had a photo booth which was a huge hit for our guests! The photo booth attendant was absolutely phenomenal as well! Plus- she created a cute keepsake full of photos that she gave to us at the end of the night!

I cannot thank Don and Sue enough for their DJ and MC services. They really listened to my husband and I’s vision, and made it happen! Even more, if Sue wasn’t making sure everyone was getting down on the dance floor, she spent the rest of the night checking in on us ensuring we always had a drink in our hand, we got enough to eat, and Sue even got me water and ensured I was hydrated throughout the night. I’ve never seen or heard of the entertainment team stepping up like that until we met Don and Sue. We will absolutely be requesting them for future events. If you’re thinking about hiring them, do it!! Everyone had a wonderful time 😊💖

Folks, if you are looking for a DJ for your wedding, look no further! Don and Sue Fowler are the perfect choice. They did an incredible job DJing at our wedding, and we highly recommend them. From start to finish, Don and Sue exceeded our expectations. What makes them truly special is how they work as a duo: Don expertly runs the music, while Sue engages the crowd with her warm and lively presence on the mic. Their extensive experience in the wedding industry was evident in how effortlessly they managed our event at Linganore Winecellars.
They were incredibly responsive, making music selection a breeze and handling every detail with precision. Punctual and professional, they collaborated seamlessly with other vendors. Don and Sue orchestrated everything from the speeches and cake cutting to our first dance and the entire party with enthusiasm and expertise. We couldn't be happier with their outstanding service and dedication to making our day perfect.

Don and Sue exceeded our expectations at our wedding. They were highly recommended by our officiant, and after checking out their stellar reviews and budget-friendly pricing, we knew they were the perfect choice. Our day-of coordinator and photographer were thrilled to hear that Don and Sue were our DJs, as they were already familiar with each other. Sue and Don make an incredible team, bringing high energy and a take-charge attitude that is essential for a smooth wedding day. With Don keeping the beats going and Sue made sure we didn’t miss a dance floor moment and kept the energy on the dance floor going, I didn't have to worry about a thing. It's been three weeks since our wedding, and our guests are still raving about Don and Sue's entertainment. I highly recommend Don and Sue for all your DJ/MC needs!

So many of my guests told me that my wedding reception was the best wedding reception they have ever been to and I believe Sue & Don were are large reason for that. The dance floor was packed the entire reception. They were able to read the crown and knew exactly what songs to play. They worked so well with the Villa to organize the reception and keep things moving without any issues. They made sure to hype up our guests. Sue and Don really made sure that me and my husband were enjoying ourselves throughout the reception always making sure we were taking time to eat!! In addition to being our DJ's, Sue choreographed our first dance (waltz & jitterbug) and we had 3 dance lessons with her. I have a background in dance but my fiance had never danced before. She worked so well with him to make sure he was comfortable with the dance steps. I was so happy with how our first dance turned out. Not only are they the BEST DJ's I have ever been around but they are the nicest people too. I HIGHLY recommend Dance Masters Entertainment. They made my wedding reception perfect!!!

Entering the wedding, my husband and I had high expectations for Don & Sue at DanceMasters given their high reviews. They still somehow exceeded our expectations.
Everything was perfect. Starting from the planning before the wedding we had calls to go over what we like, what we wanted, and the orders of operations. We went over every single detail and it showed. They were also responsive to all of our communication as well, which not everybody is, so it was very much appreciated. We had some changes in our party and order, and they easily were able to accommodate.
At the wedding, Don and Sue were just simply perfect. They came early and they were ready to go. And they kept the flow going all night. They played the music we wanted as well as feeling out the vibes of the crowd. They emceed to perfection as well, keeping the night going at the pace we wanted, a task that was not easy.
We also used their Photo Booth (to which they brought along an amazing attendant) and it was a hit with the kids, but also the adults. There was an awesome variety of things to use, and we got a great and hilarious album out of it that we will cherish forever.
And I just wanted to note as a gay couple, Don & Sue were just amazing for us. They hit everything out of the park from start to finish. Our guests could not and can not stop raving about them. We highly recommend them!!!

We chose Dance Masters Entertainment for our wedding on 3/24/24, where Don and Sue served as our DJ/MC duo, and Michelle managed the photo booth. Their seamless collaboration impressed everyone present, and Sue's versatility made her an invaluable asset throughout the day, not only as an MC but also in assisting wherever needed. From our initial conversations over the phone and email, it was evident that they were top-tier vendors. Don and Sue were highly responsive, addressing all our inquiries promptly and offering valuable recommendations to elevate our day. The photo booth, managed by Michelle, was a huge hit, and the personalized photobook she curated, with signatures from all our guests, was a delightful keepsake. We couldn't be happier with Dance Masters Entertainment's service; they truly deserve a perfect score of 100/10! I wish we could get married every weekend just to keep working with them!

Sue and Don provided us with wonderful DJ services for our wedding day! They provided us with both our ceremony and reception music. Sue was a wonderful MC while Don was able to focus on the music being played. Don played a great variety of music, while ensuring it was all the same vibes that we were asking for. As the reception progressed, Sue was wonderful at hyping up everyone on the dance floor; we had so many friends comment on how much fun she was. They were easy to communicate with, their prices were reasonable, and we were very pleased with their services.

We are so happy to had chosen Dance Masters to our Wedding day. Sue and Don were amazing! All the guests were extremely excited and liked them a lot. Sue was very nice and helpful, she asked everyone to sign our guest book, she even got us a drink when she saw we didn't have one.
We had a multicultural wedding, American and Brazilian, and they made a great mixed playlist with the songs that I recommended. It was so much fun! Everyone danced together and Sue was a great choreographer.
We had some kids in our reception, so I asked them to play only the clean version of the songs and they did it and it was really nice to see my kids dancing and having fun with us.
Thank you so much Sue and Don for making our day so special. The dance floor was one of our favorite part of the day.
We totally enjoyed it and recommend them to your party, they know how to make the party to be exciting and fun!

Sue and Don are the perfect team! I just used them for our corporate holiday party and it was a blast! I was so worried that no one would be dancing but I shouldn't have because sue had them up on their feet in no time. Last year we had a stiff and quiet party but this year with Sue and Don we actually had an event that felt like our community of academia was coming together. From good music to white elephant and ugly sweater contest this team delivered! Also the photobooth is a must for events because it provided great entertainment.

My husband and I just had our wedding two days and it was fantastic thanks to DME!! Both Don and Sue were very organized, sweet thoughtful, caring and of course entertaining! They were able to add some Christmas spirit as well with the Christmas music they added during the meal time. They were also able to get people on the dance floor too (including the little ones with funny glasses and lights for them to hold) They made sure we had everything we wanted within our short timeframe. They also were able add a few details to our venue like the cool red lights in the corners of the venue that really set the vibe. Last but not least, I could not have been more surprised that my husband had them help with. He wrote and performed a song for me without me knowing about it and DME did an excellent job putting it within our timeline as well as helping my husband with the surprise! We could not have asked for anyone else to help entertain the guests and made sure everyone at our wedding have fun! Thank you again, we appreciated everything you have done for us!❤️

Derek and his wife Jen were our DJ and Photo Booth operator for our 11/18/23 wedding. Derek absolutely killed it, and guests told us afterward that he did a fantastic job. He honored all of our requests, and was able to find all the music I wanted for our ceremony and reception. Jen brought a large array of signs and props for our Photo Booth and our guests had a great time with the photo booth. The book of Photo Booth photos with notes from our guests at the end was a really nice touch, and something we will cherish forever.

Sue and Don from Dance Masters were incredible at our wedding! They brought so much energy and excitement, making our special day truly unforgettable. Everything went perfectly, and we can't thank them enough for creating such a vibrant and upbeat atmosphere. They even went above and beyond by putting together a Photo Booth album with messages written by our guests, that was a really sweet surprise! We met Sue and Don at one of the wedding vendor events at our venue and they were an instant pick with how personable and comfortable they made us feel without even having a contract yet!!!!
Highly recommend Dance Masters for any event! Thank you, Sue and Don for making our wedding day perfect!

Don & Sue are not only professional and experienced - they are super fun people! They got everyone on the dance floor and made sure everything ran smoothly. They do so much more than just provide music, and our wedding would not have been as fun and seamless without them. Amazing company, and I can’t recommend them enough!!!

Don and Sue made our wedding unforgettable. I wanted a mix of new and old songs throughout the night and was worried about it blending together but Don blended it all seamlessly, created the perfect atmosphere throughout the night. Sue's attentiveness and helpfulness ensured everything ran smoothly, from guiding guests to keeping the party going all night. Adding Sue as the MC was huge for our day. It was something I wasn’t sure we needed but I am so glad that we ended up booking her as well. Their genuine personalities and kindness added a special touch, making us thrilled we chose them. We highly recommend Don and Sue to anyone seeking a fantastic duo for their event.

I would highly recommend Dance Masters Entertainment. Sue was super sweet and knowledgeable with the pre-wedding phone meeting and helped explain everything to us. Our DJ for our wedding was Samy and he was so nice and was very flexible when it came to the schedule getting a little changed up on the day of the event and always ensured to very anything with me if he was confused or just wanted the extra clarification. The wedding went so smooth and we owed a huge thanks to Samy for ensuring that all dances and announcements were made correctly and in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking for a DJ.

We contracted with Dance Masters for a choreographed first dance, which I highly recommend! We walked into our first lesson with two left feet but with Sue’s guidance and experience, by our third lesson we were confident dancers. Scheduling lessons was easily done via email and Sue is a great communicator on guidelines/what to expect. She is upbeat and truly loves what she does. Our first dance was perfect thanks to Sue at Dance Masters - our guests loved it, too!

I could not recommend Dance Masters enough! They are a one-stop-shop for all things entertainment for a wedding with lighting, Photo Booth, monograms, and amazing music! They work so hard to make sure they have all details for your big day.
They are also sooooo personable and fun! It is so evident that they love what they do and enjoy every wedding. They took some of the best candid photos of my day! Don is so fun and has the best playlists, incorporating both our wishlist and his own popular songs. Sue is so fun and makes sure your guests are energized and having fun the whole night! All of my guests were raving about MC Sue and Don with the music!
The photo booth was also so fun with the best props! It was like they knew my husband and I’s interests because the props were exactly what we loved! Every guest gets a copy of the photo strip and at the end of the night we got a book with all of the photos!
I would recommend them to anyone planning a wedding or event, they are AMAZING and I couldn’t imagine having anyone else at our wedding!

Sue and Don are a MUST HAVE! Sue consistently checked on us throughout the night to make sure we were okay and didn’t need anything. Sue ran the show and made sure everything stayed on schedule so we had plenty of time to just dance and enjoy ourselves. Sue constantly coordinated with other vendors and made sure everyone was honoring our requested timeline as well. Don kept the party going with all the music we requested and some, while also respecting the music genres we asked to avoid. Sue and Don were great about being welcoming, interactive, and kind with all of our loved ones in attendance. I couldn’t have dreamed of a better duo as one of the most important vendor to have for your wedding! We highly recommend Sue and Don and would choose them over and over and over again!

Sue and Don were the MC and DJ for our wedding reception and they were amazing! Sue had the plan for the night that we created printed out and made sure that everyone involved knew exactly what to expect and when. As a bride after planning the wedding for a year it was amazing to feel like I could trust her to take charge and execute it exactly as I wanted, so I didn't need to worry about it. She also was very thoughtful in making sure I had food and drinks throughout the night and was great at getting everyone on the dance floor and dancing with us at times. Her energy throughout the night was amazing. Don our DJ played the perfect music for how we envisioned our night to go which helped the dance floor stay lively and the music was targeted to our crowd perfectly. Us and all our guests had nothing but amazing things to say about the two of them.

Sue and Don are awesome. We had been to a really fun wedding in December 2019 that they MCd and DJd so we knew they would be great. Talk about amazing to work with. They were so kind to work with us so my nephew played live music during the cocktail hour then they handled the reception and got everyone out on the dance floor. If you want a fun reception call them. Now that it has been a week since the wedding I want to plan another dance party. Lol

I have worked in the event management industry for almost 10 years now, running weddings, mitzvahs and corporate events. Having seen dozens and dozens of DJs, bands and entertainment companies in action when I started planning my wedding I just knew I had to have Don and Sue from dance Masters entertainment. Let's just say I am rather picky, demanding and very detailed. Every step of the way Don and Sue went above and beyond to make sure that our day was nothing but flawless and stress-free! Through multiple phone conversations and emails we were able to easily plan for the day, they even had some great suggestions about things in our reception. Sue was wonderfully responsive with a number of changes that popped up along the way, before our big day and even as the ceremony and reception begun. (You might think everything is planned and nothing will change, you are wrong! You need someone that can making things happen on a whim!)
Don and Sue arrived to our venue (rather far from the Baltimore area), EARLY, started setup, and began coordinating with all of the rest of our vendors ensuring that the day would go seamlessly. The microphones and speaker stands required for the outdoor ceremony were set up in an extremely professional yet discrete way so they would be kept out of photos, yet everyone was able to hear the entire ceremony. Sue made sure Heather and I were comfortable after the ceremony during photos bringing us some cocktail hour munchies! When it came time to line up for introductions, Sue was able to grab the entire bridal party and wrangle everyone into line without wasting any time at all! (Surprisingly most DJ's cant handle this! Especially so many kids!) The timeline of events that we had worked out with Dance Masters and provided with the venue was executed flawlessly! Sue made sure we were taken care of the whole time, our parents had drinks and service continued the way I wanted it! Don pivoted on a dime after one of our toasts referenced Disney Princesses and was able to play the song from Aladdin that went perfect with dinner being served. We had planned to have the POB first dance song played right after dinner as it was also their anniversary that day, Sue was able to get all the couples in the reception to join in and just really made this a special moment for the all of the family and friends. From that point forward, the last hour and a half of the reception the dance floor was completely filled with guests just having a wonderful time! Sue was able to lead a few line dances, helping out some of our junior attendees, and keep the dance floor full! The Dance Masters team even have a few fun surprises for some of the guests to just make it that much more of a special evening. Every guests we spoke to said they had a wonderful time and the music was great.
If you were looking for an absolute professional team that will make sure that your day is executed 100% to your satisfaction and don't use Don and Sue from Dance Masters Entertainment you are making the biggest mistake you can make in the event planning process!

There are always so many options for wedding vendors, so I know it’s hard to pick which ones will be extraordinary . But if you think you are just booking a DJ and MC with Dance Masters, think again. Not only does this power couple provide music and entertainment throughout the night, they will run the whole da*n show! Don is a DJ extraordinaire, and all you need to do is provide a anywhere from a general vibe to a detailed list of songs to play for him to deliver on the party you want. Sue practically ran the rest of the wedding- she handed our guest book around for people to sign, helped bustle my dress, made sure we had an amp and mic for the ceremony, coordinated the first dance and parent dances, helped us with some of our photo ops, and taught the older crowd how to do things like the Cupid Shuffle and Cha Cha Slide. Also, Don and Sue were very accommodating to my husband’s Indian family’s request to play certain Indian songs and got everyone on the floor to participate in the traditional dances. All we had to do was send them the Youtube links to the specific songs, and they took care of the rest! We had a lot of help throughout the day, but our wedding would not have gone as smoothly without Don and Sue. They are absolute rockstars, and I am so, so thankful for them both!! Hire them, it will be one of the best decisions you’ll make for your wedding!!
