DJFo4 was recommended to us by our venue. He did a fantastic job. He really listened to how we wanted the night to go. He created the perfect play list that kept everyone on the dance floor.
He facilitated the flow of events perfectly.
Matt was awesome! Communicated well before hand and helped our evening along in a stress free way. Also LOVED his transitions in between songs.
"DJ Fo4," Matt Behum, was an excellent DJ. He gives an helpful worksheet to complete that ensures he hits all of the key little details such as first dance song, possible walk-out songs, and other key events. I gave him a sample playlist to choose from for the cocktail hour, which came out perfectly!!! I gave more general, one-sentence guidance for the hour and a half dancing portion of the reception, which turned out slightly different than expected but still great and our guests had a wonderful time. Lastly, we ad-libbed a Chinese tea ceremony (gave him a heads up minutes before) and it was also everything we could have hoped for. He understood the task well. Would recommend him to everyone!
Matt was absolutely amazing! Starting with us booking, he responded fast and answered any questions I had quickly. On wedding day, from the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to reception, and finishing with a private dance, he was spot on. When we spoke prior to the wedding, I told him the vibe I wanted and he nailed it. Our guests never left the dance floor and had an amazing time. If you want a DJ that listens to you and knows how to mix music to keep the party going, Matt is your man! 10/10 recommend!!!!
Are you ready for the most pumped up review ever?! Literally no notes, amazing, incredible, so easy to work with, very generous! Whatever we needed he was willing to work with us. Immaculate playlist! He brought ALL the vibes! Don't second guess yourselves, just hire him today! Fantastic job all around!
We really enjoyed working with Matt throughout the wedding planning process. From the moment we reached out he was extremely quick to respond and his music questionnaire made it very easy to communicate exactly what we needed. As far as the wedding day he did an excellent job getting everybody on the dance floor and keeping the party going. We really can’t recommend him enough!!!
Matthew handled our wedding October 6th of this year and he’s been nothing but amazing! he’s super responsive and allows you to pick what items you would like at your wedding! We had different style lights, he included every song we wanted for every special event and even improvised if you wanted to change or add something the day of with no issues. The music was awesome i gave him some samples of what we wanted to hear and he matched our style perfect! I couldn’t recommend anyone better to DJ our wedding! He was truly awesome!
Was super helpful and very professional! His playlist was exactly the music we wanted!
Dj Fo4 was amazing. He did exactly what we needed and kept us on track time wise.
He played the genres we asked him to and got everyone on the dance floor.
Dj Fo4 helped make our wedding perfect!
Wow was he Amazing!! He got all the songs we asked for and was very good with communicating. He got the party started from beginning to end. We loved having him.
DJ F04 was a breeze to work with! We hired him as DJ/MC our wedding event. He was super communicative and personable throughout the whole process and provided a great mix of music that kept the party lively and fun!
Matt is an amazing DJ, amazing support system for wedding preparation, and just an amazing human being. He was the most responsive of all our vendors, offered insight into our planning that was at the level of professional wedding coordinators, his mixing style is club level (his mashups are ... well, just book him, and you'll enjoy it to say the least), and friends and family were just really happy experiencing him. If you are considering entertainment companies, I get it, but your money goes so much further when you have the dedication and passion of someone like DJ Fo4. Thank you for being an integral part of why our special day was so successful. Give DJ Fo4 a yell -- trust me, you can't find a better suite of people skills and technical aptitude. Want to feel super special as a client? Matt's your guy.
Amazing human being - responsive like no other service provider I’ve seen. Moving skills are club level and you get someone who is endearing to everyone. Doesn’t gab - just does an amazing job. Avoid the entertainment companies; your money goes miles further with this expert. Love DJ Fo4 for sure.
We have nothing but positive things to say about DJFo4! Matt was professional, engaging, and very receptive of our wedding guests. We were able to tell Matt what kind of music we'd like to hear, including our must plays, and he played the perfect mix of all of the different genres and music we wanted to hear. It was also a plus sharing a similar interest in EDM! Look no further if you are in search of an event/wedding DJ because you will get lots of compliments on your DJ and event if you book with DJFo4! Thank you!!
Great communicator! He made a great mix for all of our requested songs! Our ceremony & reception intros went perfectly because of him. He was a great MC for the whole night and kept the dance floor going!
Matthew went above and beyond as the DJ at our wedding. He displayed genuine care and passion for achieving, down to the smallest detail, what we hoped and dreamed for in the DJ for our BIG DAY! He worked with every complication and difficulty that occurred with patience, understanding and flexibility. He was punctual and disciplined (even letting us know he was charging up the uplighting equipment ahead of time). He read the crowd perfectly at the reception and played the right type of music. If we ever need a DJ at another event, he will be our first and only call because we know he will rise to any occasion. THANK YOU MATTHEW!!

Matt was excellent to work with. He was extremely organized and responsive leading up to the event. He paid attention to small details, for example ensuring he could properly pronounce everyone's names. On our big day, he did an excellent job reading the room - drawing from the songs we requested and adjusting to the vibe of the room and who was on the dance floor. Can not recommend him as a wedding DJ more highly!
DJ Fo4 was a dream to work with and very communicative throughout our time working with him. He made the planning process really simple and catered to all of our needs. We felt like his pricing was fair for all the services provided. The day of our wedding he provided everything we needed, even during the ceremony when a mic went out he fixed it quickly. During the reception, the evening flowed nicely thanks to his announcements and he kept people on the dance floor all night. Would highly recommend DJ Fo4 for your wedding!
Matt couldn’t have knocked it out of the park more for our wedding. He was on point with all of our requests in terms of songs for the ceremony, songs during cocktail hour, songs for the dance floor, and all announcements. You’re getting a great DJ and a great person at your wedding. Someone who wants your day to be the best that it can be. He 100% did that for me and my wife and the guests that attended our wedding. I couldn’t recommend Matt more as a DJ and as a person. All around great guy, great work ethic, and great skills in the booth.
From the moment we contacted Matt till the “Big Day” Matt was an absolute pleasure to work with! He reached out to us multiple times throughout the process so that our event would be seamless and exactly what we wanted as far as music themes both for various parts of the evening. Everyone was dancing up a storm all night…so much fun! And on top of all that his price was extremely reasonable compared to some others we looked at. Would 100% recommend!
DJ Fo4 is as professional as they come in the DJ industry! He setup a zoom consultation call and thoroughly explained his services almost an entire year before our wedding. I was amazed by his level of professionalism and executing at our wedding reception. He played a series of genre that everyone could dance to...even the catering staff! I highly recommend DJ fo4 for your special day for a memorable and smooth planning experience! What an amazing job :)
Matt is incredible! He was the DJ at my wedding on 10/21 and everyone just loved him. We had a pretty non-traditional wedding and he made it feel very smooth. I had multiple crises in the weeks leading up to my wedding and didn’t have the bandwidth to give him a proper song list for the cocktail and reception. I gave him a bunch of genres and decades at the last minute—so basically NO direction — and he did an AMAZING job! Kept the dance floor alive for the last couple hours of the night when we were all ready to crash.
He set up blacklights for us in our cocktail area and worked with our coordinator and wedding party to get folks upstairs for the reception (they had to go in small groups). Everything went very smoothly thanks to him.
We also had a murder mystery reception and he worked with our hostess making sure she had the mic set up she needed and fun music playing throughout.
Nothing but glowing reviews are coming out of my wedding for Matt! I recommend him 1000x over. He killed it. ;)
Matt was amazing! He was so quick to communicate when we first reached out and worked closely with us to get our music vibe for the wedding.
It was great having you, thank you so much!
Exellent job!
Dj Fo4 was amazing!!!! Such a pleasure to work with always responsive and professional! Kept everyone dancing all night!!
DJ Fo4 was on top of it! Great picks and good mix of songs! He was super helpful throughout the planning process. He had all the answers to all the questions
Matthew was a great DJ for our wedding! He was very professional, and extremely quick to reply to all messages. He offered a bunch of different options, even offering to let us rent his equipment. We only needed someone to play music for us to walk down the aisle since we were having a brunch wedding but he offered us many flexible options. I was extremely impressed at his blending of the two songs I asked for, and majorly pleased as I walked down the aisle to exactly what I wanted. He also offered us a military discount, which we were very thankful to use. I highly recommend him, and would book him again.
Matt was an amazing DJ! He did a great job curating a playlist that kept people on the dance floor while mixing in a few requests when he could. We got compliments from our guests all night on the music, it was one of the best parts of the night! Music is one of the most important things about a wedding in our opinions and we are incredibly grateful for Matt's hard work and flexibility in the planning and execution of our wedding day.
Matt…from the father of the bride, all I can say is you were amazing! Yes, it rained…we got the tent up…and you were soaked…but you still made this the best day ever! She had an extensive playlist with requests to mix short segments of various songs and genres…man, you NAILED it! We had so many compliments on the mixes and how the music flowed so everyone would be involved (no regular old wedding songs). You even had the grandparents out on the floor with the oldies mixed with current beats!
I can’t thank you enough for your professionalism. From our first conversation when you focused directly on our daughter and her ideas about the event, to the constant communication leading up to creating the song list, to handling the adversity with the weather, and then totally knocking it out of the park with the mixes exactly how she envisioned….I have to say…you’re definitely one of the best DJ’s I’ve seen!
Thanks again for making her event special…you were a major factor in its total success. I 100% recommend anyone looking for a DJ to consider you for their event…they won’t be sorry!
Now I have to go leave my review for the weatherman 😜
Matthew was a great DJ. He was able to coordinate the flow of the event. I did not have an event coordinator. He stuck to the schedule and helped me plan out the night. Thank you for our special night!
We found Matt on the Knot and are so glad we did! He was affordable, down-to-earth, and incorporated everything we asked him to! He made all the announcements smoothly, played all the songs we asked, and knew how to get everyone going on the dance floor! We would absolutely recommend him to anyone who is looking for a DJ for their wedding or event! He truly helped make our wedding day perfect.
Matt was incredibly professional, responsive, and helpful. He kept everyone on the dance floor all night with fantastic music sets, and acted at emcee.
We could not have asked for a better DJ for our wedding. Our ceremony and first dance were very detailed and had many songs and Matthew was able to execute everything without issues. From the hiring process to the last dance he was on point, quick to respond and graciously went with the flow during the reception. We had a couple tiny hiccups (on our part) but our guests would not have known because of his discretion and quick thinking on his feet. He played all the songs we had given him that we wanted to hear and did a fabulous job of incorporating others. He is very professional and kind and we were so happy with his services! My career is wedding planning and he will always be in my list to recommend to my brides!
F04 DJ Matt was excellent.
We initially met with Matt in February to discuss contracting with Fo4 for our April 1st, 2023 Vow Renewal ceremony. He explained the process an was very flexible and able to satisfy all of our requests. Matt is very organized and professional and kept in communication from contract signing to the day of the event.
He was even able to meet a last minute request to compile a special song arrangement as we walked down the aisle! It was perfect! The music was setup on time and ready to go on the day of the event. There was music setup for our ceremony space, cocktail hour space, and the reception space and everything flowed perfectly. People were dancing and had a wonderful time!
The cost was reasonable and well worth every penny. Thanks Matt! If ever I need another DJ I know exactly who to call.
Matt was AMAZING!! We had numerous changes to our wedding date and he was right there willing to work with us. Listened to our wants. Was there very early on the wedding day and open to all requests during the reception. Super natural, easy flow. Highly recommend!
Matt was simply the best. He took the time to really get to know my wife and I and our taste in music. I can honestly say our wedding wouldn't have been as great as it was without him. He was professional, down to earth, reasonable, and very accommodating.
Fo4 is a great choice for your wedding! He is responsive to requests before the event and has lots of experience and great recommendations! He showed up early and made sure our wedding was perfect! I can’t thank him enough for making our day stress free and musically enchanting! His professionalism and customer service skills are finely perfected and I would hire him again without hesitation for any event I may have in the future!
And his family is absolutely adorable! Thanks again Matt for making our day perfect!
Took the time to find out exactly what we wanted and made sure all our request were played!
Good communication, easy to work with, great music selections.
DJ Fo4 was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We immediately felt comfortable with him when we first met via Zoom about 1 year before the wedding. He was thoughtful and sent us a helpful questionnaire that we used to select the songs we most wanted played at our reception. We initially were going to have live musicians at our ceremony, but Matt was extremely flexible and was able to provide excellent sound for our officiant as well as pivot to include ceremony music when our musician was too unwell to attend the ceremony. During the reception, he kept in the background apart from when announcing the beginning of dinner, our entrance, etc. and enhanced the entire experience of the evening. Finally, I sang a song for my wife at our reception using an instrumental mp3 of the song; Matt found the exact, obscure mp3 and had it ready for the event and also helped me keep the song a complete surprise for my wife! He also did an excellent job balancing the sound of my voice on the wireless mic with the mp3 recording. Matt was wonderful. We can't recommend him enough.
Matt was fantastic! We couldn’t of asked for a better DJ! He worked with us in a very busy and complicated schedule without any hesitation or problem and was always ready to answer any questions or anything we needed! I would 100% use him again if I ever needed any DJ services again! Thank you again Matt for making our wedding perfect!
Matt was awesome! He knew what he was doing and guided us on what to do on our end to make the wedding go as smooth as possible! I would highly recommend him for any event you may have! And if you feel unsure you can always meet him via video chat which will put your mind at ease (that is what we did).
Thank you Matt for a wonderful experience and I could not have asked for a better DJ/person!
We found Matt on The Knot. His package prices were very reasonable, one of the main reasons we booked with him. From the start he always had good communication and answered any and all questions I ever had, even the day of ones. The lighting upgrades within his packages are so worth it! It made our reception even that much more fun. Other than providing him with our specific song choices, I did not have to check in with in wedding day or worrying about anything. Overall, he was the BEST DJ and if we have an event and need a DJ again we would definitely book with Matt.
Matt was an amazing DJ to work with. He rolled with the punches when the schedule got backed up and kept our night running smoothly. Our guests raved about the music and Matt was able to accommodate any and all requests, even the Polka!
I would recommend DJ FO4 to any one looking for a wonderful, laidback, and supportive DJ.

Matt did our wedding at the Graduate in Annapolis and was PHENOMENAL. He was very easy to work with as we planned the wedding and our guests had an amazing time dancing. Highly recommend!
Matt was amazing!!! I booked him just before covid kicked off, actually 2 years before my wedding and no covid didn't effect it (don't judge me haha) but Matt stayed with me through it. He's fantastic at following a schedule but also making changes on the fly. He's very personable and approachable. He felt like a part of our family on our wedding day and we loved that!!! He micced up our officiant and it was a great touch that made the ceremony so much easier. I totally recommend him!
As a wedding planner, it is extremely important to have a team of vendors who are flexible, professional, and extremely organized. Matt at DJFo4 is just that vendor. On a recent wedding, he arrived on time; adjusted as necessary when my client made a few last minute changes: and kept the guests engaged.
Very quick with follow-up and very responsive. Able to tailor to our music needs. Great job announcing! Very good transitions and mesh of different songs!
Matt did a great job! He was the DJ for the ceremony and the reception of my wedding. He was responsive, friendly, very professional. Everything was done exactly as I requested and he kept us all dancing until the very end!
Matt was such a pleasure to work with! He was organized and professional throughout the entire wedding process. He really listens to his couples to make sure he gets every detail perfect. My big day was a dream, and a lot of that had to do with the fact that I could trust Matt and his services. I can't recommend him enough!!!
Matt is the absolute best!!!! He is so kind, wonderful at his job, and professional. My husband and I just got married about two weeks ago. I had never planned an event to the extent of a wedding and I was definitely nervous to find a DJ. Neither of us are from the area, we moved to MD for work and school. After our first call with Matt, I knew our wedding was in the best hands. Matt made the process so simple for our music and made the night so enjoyable. We had multiple people come up to us during the reception to tell us how much they enjoyed the music and even after the wedding people have commented on how much they enjoyed the mix of music he played. Not only was the music great, his set up looked phenomenal and the lighting he offers is an added bonus! Everything was timed perfectly. There were simple music cues I had the intention of requesting, but with all the wedding planning it slipped my mind until during the event when Matt did everything perfectly, like he read my mind. I could not recommend Matt more highly, he is truly a pleasure to work with and we could not be happier with his work. Look no further! He is great!
Matt was wonderful to work with! After our first phone call, I knew he was the DJ for us. He was immediately so personable and responsive via phone and email. His attention to detail and flexibility with a shifting schedule was very much appreciated and made for a wonderful, smooth wedding day. Lastly, his style is so cool! I do not have a better word to describe it but to say that whatever you suggest to him, he can deliver while also complementing with his own flair!
