About this vendor
DJ Orlando Entertainment is a wedding disc jockey company based in Baltimore, MD. This team services the state of Maryland as well as areas of Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington, DC. Managed by Jessica and David Orlando, this company focuses on providing couples with a customized sound to suit their style.
Founded in 2004, the idea of the company was conceived when Jessica and David were searching for vendors for their own wedding. They found that many companies were unwilling or unable to change their processes to suit their vision or take their personal preferences into account. DJ Orlando Entertainment was thus created, and this couple continues to run the show to this day. David, a graduate of The Broadcasting Institute of Maryland, has worked as a disc jockey for over 10 years. Jessica has a bachelor’s degree in Liberal Arts and Technology, as well as a master’s degree in Human Resources Development.
Couples who book this company can expect to work with a team of consummate professionals who have been carefully curated by Jessica and David. The team offers consultations to couples before booking so that they can discuss the details of the wedding. They also ask couples to talk them through their personal style and vision for the event. This gives them an understanding of the atmosphere that the couple wants to create. They can then confirm if they are able to customize their services accordingly to suit this. Couples will have access to a selection of music, where they can build the list of music they want to hear on the day. With a wide range of tunes and musical styles, from Bollywood to Country to Hip-hop, couples can create the dream soundtrack for their day.
DJ Orlando Entertainment offers a range of wedding packages and can cater for receptions, cocktail hours, and wedding ceremonies. They also offer custom packages. The team works with professional-grade sound equipment and will arrive one hour before the event to complete sound checks. These disc jockeys will dress to suit the tone of your event, whether it be a black tie, business casual, or semi-formal. They offer wireless microphones for the wedding speeches and officiants and can bring lapel microphones. Upon request, the team can also bring an assistant, which they recommend for events with over 200 guests.

ng to explain detail by detail how we want the night to go. He was SO NICE and just took control, which was what we needed because we didn't have a day of coordinator. We also had some last minute changes the day of and he was so accommodating and made it all work. We wanted our wedding to be lively and entertaining, and he made sure just that happened. He had EVERYONE on the dance floor - he read the room so well and made sure everyone had a great time. Cost wise, he offered the best price compared to anyone else we found. He allowed us not to have to worry about the night and if everyone was having fun. He took care of it and I cannot recommend him enough. If we ever need a DJ again, he will be the only person we go to.

time to know us and understand what we wanted our reception to be like. I also loved that he had his wife phonetically write down our wedding parties names so they he could pronounce them perfectly. We even had some last-minute changes, and he was totally on top of it. Really the whole process was effortless I honestly almost thought it was a scam because he’s so affordable and everything seemed too good to be true. But it’s not! He really is that good and our reception went off without a hitch because of him.
DJ Orlando was great! He did the audio for our ceremony and reception, and had a really helpful organizer for us to fill out. We had a call with him shortly before the wedding and ...
he had great suggestions for key moments (cocktail hour music, last song, etc). We were lucky to get married after Maryland had lifted restrictions, and all of our guests were vaccinated, so everyone was ready to celebrate. Our dance floor was packed the whole night and everyone had a great time, whether they were 18 or 80.
I can not say enough great things about DJ Orlando! We needed a lot of help and guidance in selecting songs and planning our ceremony, and David was always willing to help and answ...

ry first conversation we knew we were in good hands. David was professional, responsive and just knew what the heck he was doing! We told David we wanted our dance floor full the entire night and he delivered. I’m talking people aged 2-99... not one person was sitting. He absolutely killed it- from the ceremony, to the announcing, to the very last song he made our dreams of a fun wedding come true. We can’t thank you enough, David!

We've been to several events with DJ Orlando Entertainment. I can honestly say you won't find a more friendly, professional and accommodating team out there. It's pretty evident ...
that this team of DJs love their job and are quite good at it. From weddings to bull roasts to school dances and proms, DJ Orlando always fills the dance floor and is one of the most interactive DJs I've experienced. Definitely worth giving them a call for your next event!

ans and officiant on a windy day! Dennis also played all the right songs to get people moving and grooving--and he kept everyone on the dance floor all night! He took some of our favorite songs and read the crowd perfectly. Dennis took care of all the details--including customizing 3 parent-child dances--which made our job to just relax and enjoy the wedding. He made announcements and introduced the wedding party perfectly. He was everything that you hope to have in a DJ for your wedding.
Total professionals who did everything to make the music to our day great!
Bruce was great to work with, did a fantastic job with the setup despite not having been to our venue previously, and had an excellent playlist. He coordinated with us as appropria...
te through the evening and seemed very comfortable with everything throughout our party. We even received compliments from our guests on the music. The only criticism I have is that we heard maybe a couple of songs twice throughout the evening, but everything else was so good I wouldn't think twice about going to DJ Orlando again!
I highly recommend! Very easy to work with and highly professional.
I had Dennis be my DJ at my wedding. He showed up on time and had everything set up and ready to go. I ended up changing my timeline in the middle of the wedding and Dennis didn’t ...

ay.... I was in the back changing, my photographer and videographer were both eating, my Mom apparently started a Congo line and everyone joined!! We didn't even know! About an hour after the wedding, David sent us the video! He knew we weren't there, so he used his phone to record it for us! Over the top amazing! We can't thank him enough.
DJ Orlando was fantastic! He was easy to get ahold of and took the time to walk through everything for the day with us and make sure we were happy. And boy were we! Everything went...
