Entertainment Excellence

months leading up to our wedding. I had a particular music cue that I wanted for my entrance, and CJ worked with us and our coordinator to make sure it happened perfectly. He made sure the evening flowed well between all the events, so there was no dead time or confusion among the guests. And kept the music at a good level during cocktail hour and dinner--perfect background sound that still allowed for conversation. He did a fantastic job of keeping the energy high during the reception! We danced all night, and each song was timed perfectly for the crowd's energy. We couldn't have been more pleased, and would certainly recommend him for anyone looking for a DJ!

blended songs seamlessly, making it feel like the night never stopped moving. Beyond his skill behind the booth, CJ was professional, attentive, and easy to work with throughout the planning process. He listened to our preferences, added his own expertise, and created the perfect atmosphere for each moment of the night. Our guests are still raving about how much fun they had and how great the music was. If you want someone who truly knows how to keep a wedding celebration alive and unforgettable, CJ DJ is the one to call.

s before the wedding day, and implemented a seamless process to capture the important songs and details of the day. On the wedding day, CJ arrived early to the venue and was ready to go with high quality equipment with plenty of time to spare. He nailed every cue, introduction, transition, and song we requested. He did an amazing job incorporating the songs we picked ahead of time with other similar songs that fit the vibe perfectly and maintained a high energy dance floor the entire time! It was such a relief not having to remind him of any details or stress about anything on the wedding day - he was on top of everything. I would definitely recommend him to anyone hiring a DJ!

the song you want or give him a general idea of what you are looking for and he will create the playlist). Additionally, CJ was fantastic on the mic as an MC which is very important at a wedding. He double checked names, was very clear in his speaking/pronunciation and in general has a great vibe for a wedding. I would highly recommend booking CJ for your wedding or other event.

professional, responds quickly, and very detailed and organized!

ng meeting, to the day of CJ was readily available and extremely helpful! He MC'd the day of and really helped move things along and took all the stress off of us. We received countless compliments from wedding guests about CJ and his professionalism and coordination throughout the day. CJ curated the perfect playlist based off of a Spotify playlist we put together beforehand. He also knows how to bring the party! 5/5 definitely would recommend! ~ The Krauses

s super professional and helped us picked some of the music for parts of our ceremony.

uld book him, because he can do it all. Lights, ceremony, party supplies, and amazing DJ'ing. I had very specific songs that jumped in and out at certain times, and he effortlessly executed this. The dance floor was packed for every single minute of the reception. He did a great job of incorporating our requests with his own spin...and he nailed it. He is also amazing to plan with because he is responsive, adaptable, and creative. He helped plan an anniversary dance dedicated to my parents, a traditional Polish money dance, and a surprise video! You cannot go wrong booking him.

super responsive. The worksheet that he provided is incredibly organized and super helpful. So many of our guests commented on how great our DJ was, especially the way he live mixed the music. He really kept the party going all night. You don’t need to look any farther to find the perfect DJ for your wedding - you’ve found him in DJCJ.

n you're making last minute changes to things only a few days before the wedding. He is also super organized and provided us with a Google Doc to list out what songs we wanted for certain events and what songs we definitely didn't want played. He is also great at hyping up the crowd and keeping people on the dance floor. We were also able to add a photo booth to our contract which allowed us to to limit the number of vendors we had! The photo booth was great and you can fully design the filters, background and photo strip, people LOVED it.

worksheet make planning so much easier than expected. He gets you everything well in advance so you have plenty of time to work on it. During our wedding, he was amazing, kept everyone on the dance floor and worked the crowd well. So many of our guests raved about him after the reception.

nteractive google doc was awesome because I had so much time to make adjustments and add songs and information about our day. He was responsive and asked me questions I would not have thought of. I handpicked most of our songs but highly recommend also giving him some artistic freedom. We had such a blast dancing at our wedding, he made personalized mixes of both my (bride) and groom's favorite music and threw in lots of throwbacks. He did a phenomenal job of reading the room and keeping the energy up. Aside from his fantastic DJ'ing skills, CJ also was on top of our audio and scheduling needs from the officiant and speech mics to keeping the wedding on track and making announcements. His professionalism is unmatched and all of my guests were so impressed. Booking entertainment excellence was one of the best decisions we made for our August wedding.

We really felt he provided a tailored experience to us as a couple and our musical tastes, as well as blending with popular/easy-to-dance to songs throughout the evening. Throughout the process, CJ was professional and prompt to respond to my many questions and changes! He kept the timeline moving and the dancefloor full and worked easily with our other vendors. Entertainment Excellence is just that--top tier!

at I wanted to hear and he mixed every single one of them perfectly. CJ was also extremely kind and timely with every phone call, question, and discussion. I would highly recommend him to anyone searching for their wedding!

he reception, everything was PERFECT. Our guests were on their feet all night, saying it was the best wedding music they've heard at a wedding in years. If you want someone who will guide you from start to finish, listen to and execute every detail, and totally rock your wedding, CJ is your guy! We can't thank you enough CJ for making our wedding day one to remember! - Johnna and Logan Dubbe (Chesapeake Bay Beach Club)

an idea of the songs we would like and told him to feel free to put a spin on it/do remixes and live mixing and he did NOT disappoint. Never once was the dance floor dead and he mixed songs together that you would’ve never expected but caused so much excitement. Can’t recommend him more and will to anyone getting married in the DMV area.

that fit our style. He seamlessly blended classic and new, country and pop, to create a perfect dance party. All night long people told me how amazing the DJ was as they got down on the dance floor!

d the day flow extremely well. Once the dance floor opened, I didn't leave it. Despite giving him a list of songs we wanted to hear, he mixed them so well, I never knew what was next. We received so many compliments on our DJ, can't recommend him enough.

ic selection and easy to get in contact with! Highly recommend!!

suggestions. We fully trusted CJ to select additional songs and mix songs together. If we ever need a DJ in the future I will definitely be reaching out to CJ. One of our wedding guests came up to us during the wedding and said if she could do her wedding all over again she would have CJ as her DJ. All of our guests were dancing the whole night!

ent above and beyond to make our special day even more memorable. CJ's attention to detail was impeccable. From our initial meeting to the actual event, he took the time to understand our musical preferences, the flow of the ceremony, and the atmosphere we wanted to create. His meticulous planning truly set him apart and put us at ease for the wedding day. His professionalism was evident throughout the entire process. CJ was punctual, well-prepared, and seamlessly coordinated with our location and vendors. His ability to read the crowd and adjust the playlist accordingly kept the energy high and the dance floor packed all night. Our wedding day was made extra special thanks to CJ's expertise and dedication. We highly recommend him to anyone seeking a DJ who not only delivers exceptional music but also brings a level of professionalism and ease to the entire experience.

anks CJ

e as well! During the event, CJ worked all night long reading the room. He responded to the audience's response and changed his style based on the crowd's response and involvement. He was so attentive to everyone, especially me and my now husband. He interacted with the crowd all night and brought out such a fun, engaging, and party atmosphere! He kept our interests in mind and exceeded our expectations! I cannot say enough amazing things about him and his work!!

r making our wedding day PERFECT, CJ.

our requests perfectly - best of all, he knew how to read the crowd! He picked great songs and mixed them effortlessly - people were on the dance floor all night long! Highly recommend!

y as needed and took 2 exit songs we wanted and put them together! & when we asked him to "read the room" with music he did just that! We recommend CJ 100% for all your DJ services!

nted them, and made sure that our wedding music went flawlessly! We highly recommend CJ!!

d him back in late 2022 for our September 1 2023 waterfront wedding on the Chesapeake, and he has since stayed communicative, and also sent us promotions and deals we could take advantage of for add-ons such as uplighting, cold sparks, party lights, etc. Not only was Entertainment Excellence the best bang for our buck, but now that our wedding is over, we cannot stop talking about how incredible CJ was. He mixes songs incredibly well so that there's no mismatch in beats/rhythms - this was the biggest deal for me. There's been a lot of DJs I've encountered where they'll have clunky transitions, or they'll play the beginning parts of songs where there's no beat, which makes people leave the dance floor because of the 'downtime.' CJ made sure that did not happen! In the early stages of planning, he will send you a spreadsheet template that has everything he needs from you. I gave him Spotify playlists that I had compiled myself for cocktail hour, for dinner, and for the reception dancing. (Note: he does use non-explicit versions of songs, so if you happen to have explicit versions, he'll find the clean version for you, or do the mixing well enough that expletives are not heard!). I did not hire a wedding planner and did all the planning myself, and CJ was actually instrumental in helping me with the event flow. He made the effort to track me down to make sure my husband and I were ready for the next thing in the event before he announced them, from party entrances to special dances (e.g. father/daughter or mother/son dances) to speeches. Our wedding was 5:30pm-10pm, and though we only booked him for cocktail hour (6-7pm) and reception (7-10:30pm), he let us use his mics for the ceremony beforehand. His mics were high quality - NO feedback, static, or poor volume balance, which was critical during our vows and the speeches. Our cocktail hour was outdoors on a rooftop, and the reception was indoors, and he was able to set up for both areas for a seamless transition. The two vendors we could not stop raving about were our photographer/videographer and our DJ. They will make or break your wedding experience, in my opinion. Hire CJ & Entertainment Excellence for your DJ/emcee services! Everyone was impressed with how smoothly our wedding went, and although I'd like to take credit for having planned the wedding myself, I know that a lot of it had to do with CJ and his event pacing. I'm extremely happy with Entertainment Excellence and CJ's services.

t going into our big day. I could not recommend him enough!

longside our pianist for the ceremony & cocktail hour. He exceeded expectations and multiple guests said he was great. Couldn’t recommend enough.

d not only our tastes but also our guests. He also able to accommodate our unique music/ entertainment need, including a belly dancer and Balinese dancers for our multi- cultural wedding! Thank you so much CJ for making our wedding day so fun and memorable!!

for their future wedding and afterwards everyone was saying how amazing the dj was. I can’t recommend him enough. I had a lot of requests when it came to music and the little details, and he executed everything perfectly. I didn’t have to worry about the flow of the reception because he had it under control. If you’re considering booking him- do it!!

o take the example playlist I made and elevate it so that we had the most magical experience. Guests were raving about the music and the good vibes all night long. We cannot recommend Entertainment Excellence (especially DJ CJ) enough!

ver a month later, everyone is talking about him!

e does best. The easiest vendor hire we made! CJ kept us on schedule, he was able to adjust to whatever was happening, and most importantly he kept the party going all night. Our guests are still talking about him. He played all of our requests and filled in the rest of the time with great song choices. CJ has so many five star reviews for a reason! Book him for all of your events, he’s the best DJ in the DMV. Thank you, CJ!!
