We are so grateful we had DJ Luminary from LoveandLight Entertainment as part of our wedding! From start to finish, he was incredibly helpful and easy to work with, making the whol...
e process stress-free. On the big day, he kept the party going all night long — the dance floor was never empty! The lighting, photobooth, and every detail were absolutely perfect and created such a fun, unforgettable atmosphere for us and our guests. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ and team. Truly five stars!
Josh is a knowledgeable, friendly, and versatile DJ. He came to the table with thoughts but was also very receptive to our ideas. He gave us lots of face time throughout the proces...
s and made us feel very comfortable the whole time. He was a great MC, and provided top notch sound control/support during our (complicated) ceremony. His set-up (and uplighting) was visually appealing, and allowed for a lot of customization. The add-on of having the ceremony’s audio recorded was a nice touch that was an alternative to spending $ on a videographer. Book with confidence!
We hired Love and Light Entertainment to DJ for our wedding off the recommendation of our venue. From our first meeting, Josh was very attentive and detail-oriented. You can tell t...
hat they do care about the end result for the couples, willing to go above and beyond to make sure things go smoothly. We had a dedicated coordinator for our wedding, but Josh provided plenty of tools and was always open to discussing details. We added on a few things in addition to their DJ services - they offer several different options, but we went with uplighting, the voicemail guestbook, and the live photograph service.
The uplighting was nice and set the mood for the dance floor. They provided a neat looking rotary phone for the voicemail guest book, which our guests used to leave us messages in their own voice in addition to our traditional guestbook. After the wedding, we were able to easily download all of the voicemails our guests left us. We’ll love looking back at our wedding and having both funny and heartfelt messages from family and friends in their own voices for the rest of our lives. The live photography service let our guests upload photos they took during the wedding, and our DJ played them on a rotating slideshow at his booth. Our guests shared great photos of them partying at our wedding and old photos of good memories. We were also able to download these after the wedding and will love having these less professional photos of everyone enjoying our happiest day.
While originally Josh was meant to DJ our wedding, he had a scheduling conflict and put us in contact with Elliot/DJ Ellz. Elliot was just as professional as Josh and did a very good job on the day of, working off a collection of songs we provided for the reception and expanding them. All our guests loved the reception music. We still get compliments months after about how good Elliot did.We also appreciated how seamlessly Josh resolved this scheduling conflict on his end, providing us with a quality alternative with no stress or cost to us. Day of, Elliot and Lynn came in with all their own equipment and everything went smoothly. We highly recommend Love and Light Entertainment for your wedding.
Love & Light Entertainment recently provided their services to my wife's and my wedding, and we were more than pleased. From our initial communication with Joshua - and subsequent ...
emails and chats - to working with Lynn (our partial coordinator, the best!), the process was very smooth. Both Joshua and Lynn were extremely helpful for the duration of planning; always open for questions, took the time to talk with us regarding what we wanted (or what might not work), and worked with us to ensure all the logistics and details were just right.
We highly recommend Love and Light Entertainment, whether you're looking for a wedding vendor or event contributor. We loved working with Joshua and Lynn, and are thankful for their assistance, patience, professionalism, and support throughout the wedding planning journey.
I hired Josh at Love & Light Entertainment for a 50th Anniversary party. He was fantastic to work with - so organized and great with communication. He really worked with us to pull...
a great mix of oldies, East Indian music, contemporary pop, and even K pop, as we had such a diverse group. He did an excellent job as our MC too. At the event I was very happy that the volume level seemed to be set perfectly for the space. The sound was adjusted well for dinner, toasts, and dancing. We also used the screen on the DJ booth to show photo slideshows, which was an added bonus. Highly recommend!
DJ Josh and his team made our day so special! Everything was awesome! Our guests loved the mirror booth. The music was enjoyed by all guests of all ages. The dance floor was packed...
all night! He took care of music and audio for the whole event from ceremony, to cocktail hour, to reception. He brings mics for the officiant and roasts. He also sent us recordings of all speeches. I cannot recommend him enough!
DJ Theo made our day so magical! The dance floor was packed all night and we got so many guest compliments! Could not recommend working with Josh at Love & Light and DJ Theo more!
Josh is an incredible DJ! Not only was he able to incorporate a lot of guest requests into his set, but his song choices kept the dance floor poppin' despite the fact that we had a...
relatively small guest count! In planning, he takes great care in making sure he's clear on what your vision is and what he can do to help support it. Josh has a television on the front of his DJ booth that he was able to utilize in a ton of creative and helpful ways. Using a QR code, our guests were able to send him photos (both historical pics and photos people were taking at the wedding itself) to display on his booth, which was an awesome way to make the wedding interactive and light. We also displayed our childhood photos on the screen throughout the night (in between the guest submission photos) which was an endearing touch -- he really is able to do so many things with his setup that can be tailored to the theme/colors/energy of your wedding. But the BIGGEST thing that we loved about having the TV on his booth is that he was able to display a video toast from a veryyyyy dear friend that wasn't able to make it to the wedding. It was absolutely incredible and we appreciated it so much. 10000000% recommend working with Josh!
They were simply amazing. From the constant, clear communication to the sheer quality of their services, everyone on staff deserves top marks.

es, including music, lights, and coordination/officiation. Everyone was absolutely incredible, and our wedding went off without a hitch!
Josh was the best vendor we booked! From the very beginning he was super committed to make our day special and he made sure we got what we envisioned. He is SUPER easy to talk to, ...
and so nice. We loved him and his work and hopefully we’ll get to keep him in our lives!
So, BOOK HIM!

ting married in a tropical storm is rare around the DC area, so to say that there were many firsts is an understatement. Despite the technical and logistical challenges of having a wedding in the middle of a tropical storm, Josh and Lynn still delivered. Our wedding was held on board a boat as well which added to the complexity of their set up and clean up. True to their words during our last meeting before the event, they made sure we had nothing to worry about.
They even took up duties that were not assigned to them all to help out a frantic groom and bride make last minute adjustments. Without being prompted, they both did an amazing job controlling the crowd, recording the audio, keeping us on schedule, as well as keeping the party going. Even being cheerleaders in a tropical storm to an obviously stressed out couple. In terms of the more orthodox aspects of the job, Josh and Lynn did everything flawlessly. From the decorations, to the announcements, to the music - everything flowed seamlessly as if they were reading our minds throughout the entire event. In the months leading up to the event, Josh was always responsive and receptive to our ideas. A true professional who held the highest standards of customer service.
We wholeheartedly recommend Love & Light Entertainment to anyone looking for an amazing team to help you with your event. We are so thankful to have met such wonderful people who we hope to work with again should we have another event in the future!
Love and Light Entertainment is a great choice for your wedding. 4.5/5. The vendor is professional and has a high quality He has a song request portal for clients to enter all the...
songs they would like to be played. He played all the songs requested on the portal. The portal also has suggestions for general dancing and the event songs. While at the wedding, he played songs not on the portal request list, that were also special to me (the bride), showing he can read the musical style of the couple. He also has a link for guests to post requests during the event, which can be made into a QR code. He recorded the speeches, which was unexpected and greatly appreciated, as now they can be listened to for years to come. The lighting and wall monogram added to the ambiance and there were always many people dancing.
Josh was a great DJ and MC—professional, personable, and easy to work with too.

p emails was the most professional DJ you could ask for. He is so knowledgeable about his craft and always willing to answer any questions or help you out in any way. He has designed a really nice website to help make the process easier and this shows how much time he has put into his work. He was super engaging throughout the day and we even loved dancing at his table with him, just the 3 of us, during the reception. He just bought a new DJ table which can display text or logo on it and that was a cool addition. Also, strongly recommend the cold sparks which added so much to our first dance and other moments throughout the night.

In addition to doing a great job with the sound, the lighting and photo slideshow effects that we used were super cool and our guests were very impressed. We found the planning portal easy to navigate and it helped us think of many things we might have otherwise overlooked.
We originally hadn't planned on hiring a DJ, but I am very glad that we did. I highly recommend Love & Light Entertainment!

e had the details of our big day worked out. He was professional and kind, and truly just a fun guy to work with. Bonus points for being a Veteran Owned Small Business! We had to make changes to the ceremony music last minute and he adapted perfectly. My groom and I are very picky about music and are not big fans of traditional wedding reception music – Josh killed it! He paid attention to all our “must play” and “do not play” songs. Also..he is a REAL DJ. He did not just stand up there and click a button to move from song to song..this guy read the crowd and the energy, he mixed songs, he got people dancing. Our reception music was something I was really worried about during our planning phase and my expectations were far exceeded. He recorded our vows, our wedding party introductions, and our speeches and had the audio back to us almost immediately. I would work with him again on any event! Thank you so much, Josh!

who would be DJ-ing our wedding. This wasn't always the case with some other vendors we spoke to. Throughout the entire wedding planning process, Joshua was very responsive and flexible. He makes it easy to set up quick 15 minute calls or longer 30 minute calls on his client portal and has always been prompt. On wedding day, Joshua and his team were professional, kind, and great at getting the crowd on the dance floor. Everything from the ceremony, cocktail hour, to the reception went smoothly and we felt like we could truly enjoy our wedding.
Josh was absolutely amazing - both in the preparation process, and on the wedding day. His online system is very efficient, and well organized. He is very personable, and went ab...
ove and beyond to make our day so special. The mirrorbooth was unique, which our guests raved about. And lastly, his indoor sparklers were the icing on the cake! I highly recommend Josh for any wedding!!
Josh was an excellent choice for our wedding! Our guests raved that the music selection was great. As a bride and groom born in the late 80s/early 90s, we asked Josh to lean on mus...
ic of the late 90s/early 00s mixing in some oldies and music from today to get everybody dancing, and he did just that. We had a party filled with folks on the dance floor all night—including family you wouldn’t normally expect to see let loose out there.
Beyond just the music selection, Josh was great at keeping the timeline of the party going. I chose not to go with a day-of coordinator or wedding planner, instead managing a lot of the details myself. I was able to give Josh a timeline of the day, and especially the reception, and he followed it to a tee—always coming to check-in first to make sure we were ready to move on in a couple minutes—whether to speeches, cake cutting, or even just from the cocktail reception to actual reception and dinner. Because of Josh’s organization and all around excellent DJ-ing, as a Type A bride, I was able to let go and just enjoy our day.
We hired Joshua for our Halloween wedding and we are so happy with our decision. Joshua was always on top of planning, even offering a portal where we can filter through songs and ...
ask guests for song requests. We postponed our wedding from last year to this year due to COVID and I was so stressed with constantly emailing our vendors and putting reminders in my calendar to email them for updates. I didn’t have to do any of this with Joshua. He would actually email me first and made the process so much easier! He also was ready to jump on a call at anytime, helped with the timeline, and I felt like he genuinely cared and was passionate about what he does. He suggested we get amber uplights to go with our theme (and included dance lighting) and I am SO happy with the results. It really brought the visuals together and the pictures look amazing!
Onto the wedding day. Joshua was on time and set up fast. He was on point with the timeline, but also knew when to wait a few minutes to start. Both of our families didn’t like our choice for reception music and constantly went up to him to request something more upbeat, but Joshua didn’t change the music until he brought it up with us. He was quick to play requests (but also knew which songs not to play when my drunk friends made requests). The number one thing is that he audio recorded our speeches and got videos of us dancing all night. This was important because our videographer didn’t show that night. He was quick to send over everything he had so we could piece together our special night! Honestly, I can go on all day about how great Joshua was. I highly recommend him for any event!

e-A bride! Everyone at our wedding loved him - pretty sure my mom even asked for his info to share out with friends and family!! He went out of his way to make us happy and that sentiment really goes a long way. Thank you Josh! DEFINITELY book Love & Light Entertainment for your big day!!

s requests. The music was enjoyed by guests of all ages and the dance floor stayed busy all night. As an extra bonus, Joshua shot several videos of our guests dancing with his GoPro, which was a wonderful way to revisit the night. During our planning process, he was very responsive and helpful and met with us multiple times to make sure we had everything ready for our day. We can’t recommend Love & Light Entertainment enough!

Working with Josh was a relief during the planning process. He is communicative, clear, professional, and courteous. He worked with us and explained the process thoroughly. He has ...
