Picking Dan for our DJ was probably the easiest decision we made during the wedding planning process. He DJ'ed for two other family members' weddings and did such a fantastic job we knew we had to hire him for ours. He takes being the steward of the evening very seriously and makes sure that everything runs smoothly throughout the entire evening. He was very responsive during our planning process and helped us think through details we hadn't thought of, e.g. how moments that are important for music in the evening are also important for pictures and how to make sure we time that all to capture all the precious moments. Our dance floor was packed and guests raved about how much fun they had!
Dan was the best! He was very responsive throughout the wedding planning process and was so easy to work with. He provided a music planning site to fill out during planning that I was so impressed with. It is such an organized way to have all the music details, timeline info, and other notes in one spot. Dan also coordinated live music for a portion of our wedding and it was beautiful! He helped our wedding go smoothly and made sure all of our music and details throughout the day were perfect!
Jeremy was an amazing DJ. He did a great job everything was perfect. The music was perfect all night long and went along well with what was going on. He even took a picture of everyone that was still at the wedding when we closed it down. I would defiantly recommend.
If you have the opportunity to work with Dan, you should take it!
Dan was incredible from start to finish and after a pretty thorough search and multiple interviews, I'm certain he and his company are the best value in the DMV area. He is exceptionally professional, communicative, and collaborative. From the initial meeting and throughout the entire process, he proved to be very knowledgeable of the industry and he offered great advice without ever feeling pushy, overbearing, or that he was trying to make things about him. A few things that particularly stood out to us:
- He is exceptionally organized and this put me at ease immediately. He has a detailed plan and requests exactly the right information to ensure that he is executing your vision to a T. As someone who manages projects for a living, this was very much appreciated.
-Flawless execution - he understood exactly what we were looking for and was perfectly on point when playing music for our ceremony (including starting and stopping at the right points in our songs). He covered pretty much our entire "must" and "would like" playlists and even included some wonderful additions at the end of the evening to really step things up and end on a great note.
-His willingness to step in and be a quasi-day-of wedding planner. This was greatly appreciated, as we had opted not to go with any sort of coordination assistance. He had the schedule of events and was instrumental in making sure that things moved along at the right pace. He even introduced himself to all the members of our wedding party to cue them up for their parts and to make sure he had the pronunciation of their names correctly.
-His overall disposition was always kind/engaging while maintaining a very professional demeanor.
My husband and I could not have been more satisfied and all of our guests told us how wonderful he was. We are so grateful for all of his help in making our wedding such a success. You will not be disappointed!
We had our wedding a little over a week ago, and we had DJ Jeremy James at our celebration! He was amazing!!! He did his own set up and take down very efficiently, helped us stay on our timeline, got everyone lined up and pumped for our barn intros, got everyone into the shoe game that we played, and kept people on the dance floor all night!!! There was never a moment without people dancing! We loved all the songs he played! Very professional and friendly! Definitely recommend Musical DJ's!
Dan was an incredible from the beginning of the process to the very last song. He was caring, patient, and a great listener on our original call. He was very accommodating and responsive to us. We had a last minute change due to rain on our wedding day, and Dan led the charge, making it seamless to change our original plans. We had a violinist, as well as a singer and guitarist - and he was able to work directly with them on the technology he needed. Dan worked so well with our team of vendors, and with us. We highly recommend Dan to anyone looking for a DJ for any event. We can't wait to use him again in the future!
Musical DJs is amazing, especially our DJ/MC DJ Freddie B. We 100% recommend them to DJ/MC your event. I sought him out after a friend used him as their wedding DJ and knew we just had to have him be our DJ/MC. Here are many if the reasons to choose Musical DJs/DJ Freddie B for your event:
DJ Freddie B has a cheerful and positive attitude. He has a talent of getting everyone out on the dance floor feeling included all night long. At our wedding reception, DJ Freddie B played amazing music and had an excellent talent for transitioning songs and his amazing ability to read the dance floor and adjust accordingly. All of our guests enjoyed the music and we received many complements about DJ Freddie B.
In our inital meeting with Musical DJs in early 2020, Dan scheduled a call with my now husband and I. On the phone Dan was super professional and explained all of the various options. We soon after signed a contract with Musical DJs. Next thing you know, the pandemic hit. Then our original venue decided to close for almost a whole year. Of course I was panicking. Dan and DJ Freddie B were very professional and kind and modified the contract for our new date in 2021 and to reflect the requested changes. With all of the uncertainty, they were a stability that was much needed. Before the wedding, DJ Freddie B met with us on multiple occasions and offered amazing suggestions on song choices if we wanted them and various events that could occur at the wedding. We were confident with him going into the event night that everything would be perfect.
Fast forward to the wedding/reception, the night could not have gone any more smoothly and we received positive feedback from multiple guests on how great our DJ/MC was. Every age in attendance had a wonderful time. Freddie B was phenomenal and went above and beyond to make sure everyone knew what to expect next, making sure that those giving speeches knew the best places to stand when speaking, informing our guests during various tosses/dances, and accommodated requests from our guests when appropriate. I could not say enough great things about DJ Freddie B and Musical DJs. Dj Freddie B made everyone feel welcome and had the most positive and friendly attitude. We highly recommend them to DJ your event.
Jeremy was phenomenal! He really knows how to get the party started, and more importantly, how to keep it going. Dan and Jeremy were both so flexible in preparing for our big day, and came in clutch when we needed last minute sound services. It was a beautiful day that ended with a fantastic playlist!
DJ Dan was great! He had good communication with us throughout the planning process. He had an easy to use website to enter in all of music requests for the ceremony, first dances, and reception. He got our guests dancing the night away. His sound equipment worked well for the ceremony and toasts. The uplighting made our tent very romantic. Highly recommend Dan.
I highly recommend Musical DJs and Event Lighting. They provided both our ceremony musicians and DJ entertainment. Their platform to request music was easy to use and we had an amazing time for both our weddings. Due to covid, we had a small legal ceremony in 2020 and our larger vow renewal/party/reception in 2021.
Both our DJ Matt and our coordinator Dan were easy to get in touch with and were very accommodating with everything that is going on currently.
Our DJ in particular was very helpful with my specific requests for the night (karaoke by me and a special number by my in-laws) in addition to being amazing with his regular DJ responsibilities on song entrances, dance numbers, etc.
Additionally, it was easy for us to add on ceremony musicians again for our one year vow renewal/reception/party since they did such a great job at our smaller Covid October 2020 wedding.
I cannot emphasize more that I highly recommend this vendor, especially since I technically hired them twice for ceremony musicians. 😍🙂
Dan was one of the friendliest vendors we worked with. During our initial call, he walked us through a number of points to consider when interviewing DJs and deciding what we wanted for sound and music needs. We felt like he was most interested in what we wanted and needed rather than increasing his rate, going so far as to talk us out of a lighting package because of his familiarity with our venue and belief that it was pretty enough without uplighting (He was right.). As soon as we were off the phone, my husband and I knew we wanted him to be our DJ. He offers the ability to pay in full upfront for a discounted rate (It is non-refundable though.).
Freddie B was the DJ at a family member’s wedding and we immediately knew that he needed to be the DJ for our wedding. From the get go he treated us like family and nailed everything you could ever ask for as our DJ. He was always extremely responsive and professional leading up to and on the day of our wedding. He took the time to meet with us several times to make sure our game plan was exactly how wanted it to be. We wanted our wedding to be a big party and Freddie B set the tone for it to be exactly that. Everyone was on the dance floor all night long and we were told by several people that he was the best DJ they’ve ever seen at a wedding. Could not recommend him more! 💜🐐
I cannot even begin to give Freddie enough praise and thanks for making my wedding day incredible. His infectious energy and excitement for life made working with him a dream and took my wedding from great to fantastic. He has a phenomenal announcing voice and an ability to get people onto the dance floor and keep them there. A friend of mine told my mother my wedding was the most fun wedding he’d ever been to; I attribute that entirely to Freddie and the amazing vibes he creates!
The planning part was just as great as the actual DJing. He is meticulous, caring, and bent over backwards to accommodate us. He asked questions I didn’t even think about, which gave us ideas for our wedding. I gave him songs in playlists we really like. From that, he created the perfect wedding song list based on our likes and dislikes. Not only did we love the song selections but he was able to select songs that were enjoyable across multiple generations.His true talent for reading the guests keeps them on the dance floor and ensuring they stay until the very end.
You can tell he loves what he does and DJs because he is passionate about it. I absolutely recommend him 1000 times over.
DJ JEREMY WAS PERFECT!!! If you are looking to have an absolute wild dance party, and need someone fun yet professional to keep the whole day on track, he is your guy. Music was one of the most important elements to us, as we have very specific tastes and knew we wanted the dance floor to be bumping the entire time. Jeremy had several phone calls with me to discuss our vision, and we ended up just chatting for a while about shows, XM radio stations, music festivals -- I truly felt like he would deliver the party we were hoping for, and I had the utmost confidence in him. Jeremy 100 percent delivered -- every single guest I've spoken to said the reception was the most memorable and most fun wedding they've ever been to. We had a BLAST - I literally did not leave the dance floor once. Every aspect of working with Musical DJs was awesome and seamless, from the online planning tools (you can select songs for Must Play, Do Not Play, Play If Possible, etc.) to the communication with the owner, Dan. Jeremy's timeline was also super detailed and he made all of our specific requests happen, like playing a special song for us at the exact right moment when I walked down the aisle. He rolled with the punches, made the ceremony run smoothly, and created one hell of a party. Can't recommend enough. THANK YOU!!!!!
Our day simply would not have been the same without DJ Freddie B! He is such an amazing DJ & has become a close family friend all while DJing all our weddings. Freddie B is wonderful with taking your wedding music vision and turning it into a reality. He happily accommodates your specific requests, and if you aren't really sure how to plan out your music, he is the ultimate guide in helping you create that plan! So many of my guests told my husband and I that they had never danced at a wedding as much as they did ours and that the music was so good they felt like they wanted to keep dancing on their way home after the wedding. I couldn't say enough about Freddie B & would confidently recommend him to anybody looking for a DJ!! Love you Freddie!!!! -Kristina & Tyler
We hired Musical DJs (Dan) for our wedding and we could not have been more happy with the service they provided. Not only did Dan DJ our event, but he went above and beyond to ensure that all the details were thought about and were exactly what Shelby and I wanted for our special day. For example, Dan spent over an hour on the phone with me crafting a very detailed timeline to send to our day-of-coordinator, helped me understand the logistics for the ceremony while also providing recommendations that would help us. In addition to this, on the actual day of the wedding, we encountered some heavy wind gusts and Dan not only was not only ready to take on the challenge, but he brought additional equipment to ensure that our sound quality was great outside and also was able to go with the flow as our event moved faster than we thought and he made it so seamless that we thought everything was going with the original plan. I would recommend Dan and Musical DJs to anyone looking for a DJ/Host for their next event. Couldn't have asked for a better DJ!!!!
We had such a wonderful experience with Musical DJs and Event Lighting. DJ Freddie B. was absolutely wonderful! He met with us before our wedding to go through the timeline and put all our worries to ease. The music he helped us choose for the wedding ceremony was beautiful, and he gave us a lot of good recommendations for the reception. During the reception, he kept the party going with great music and getting people to dance! We didn’t think our crowd would be interested in dancing as much, but DJ Freddie B. got people moving and I know everyone had a great night. Because of COVID, he made everyone feel so comfortable and encouraged dancing throughout the venue and outside. We are so so happy we had DJ Freddie B. for our wedding, and we would highly recommend him!! Thank you so much for everything!
Our wedding was last October and I can’t even begin to describe how much everyone enjoyed DJ Freddie B! Not only did he bring the party to the reception but he is the most easy going, considerate, and bubbly vendor which made working with him easy breezy. Freddie was also SO accommodating to our requests and provided really great recommendations including song choices, placement in the venue, and most importantly he made sure we were comfortable. My dad also wanted to keep our first dance song a secret, and Freddie did not spill the beans which shows what a loyal friend he is! One of my friends ended up booking him for her wedding too shortly after. Thanks Freddie for making our special day so incredible, we will not forget!
DJ Freddie B is the man! During such uncertain times during Covid, he made sure we had the most amazing day ever! He was professional throughout the entire process and helped create the reception of our dreams. He kept us on schedule the entire night and made sure the dance floor was never empty :-) The music was spot on alllll night! If you want to make your wedding a night to remember, make sure you book Musical DJs & Event Lighting and ask for DJ Freddie B!
We had the pleasure of having DJ Freddie B as our emcee and DJ for our wedding last November and we could not be happier with how everything went! Not only was Freddie super responsive and collaborative leading up to the big day, but he is also just the sweetest person who really took the time to get to know us and what we wanted our wedding day to look like. Our venue was not the most organized so having Freddie there seriously saved us - we had gone over a detailed schedule of events and he stuck to it with ease, guiding us and our guests through the evening. Freddie was also super fun in his music choices and in getting people out on the dance floor to have a good time - everyone commented about how great he was. We really could not have asked for a better DJ for our wedding and are so glad we had Freddie there to celebrate with us!
DJ Freddie was the best! His energy was unmatched and he kept people dancing the whole night. He was incredible to work with before the event, and everything was so well planned out. Almost a year later, family and friends continue to tell us how impressed they were by DJ Freddie. We cannot recommend him and Musical DJs & Event Lighting enough!
From the moment I first spoke with Dan I knew he was the DJ we needed to hire for our wedding. He was extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and responsive which was very important as we only had a couple of weeks to plan our entire wedding. Dan was wonderful with answering all of my questions, provided great recommendations, and really put my mind at ease during each of our check-in calls. The online event planning system was so helpful and easy to use when creating the reception timeline and documenting our song requests for the ceremony and reception. On our wedding day, Dan was on time, professional, full of energy, and made our reception a blast. He played the perfect songs at the right times so the dance floor was never empty. He also did a wonderful job ensuring that the timeline of the reception flowed seamlessly. Thank you so much Dan!
DJ Freddie was amazing! Hands down, the best DJ i've ever come across. We choose him after reading reviews and taking to him and quickly realized, this was our guy. He listened, gave us options and was extremely helpful in keeping us on track throughout the day. As most couples know by now, a wedding day is a BUSY day, and it's easy to lose track of time. DJ Freddie was basically our day of coordinator, making sure everything was on track. He checked in throughout the day and at the end of the night even joined the crowd. He read the audience so well and was able to get everyone on the dance floor at any point in the night. You will not regret going with him. Thanks DJ Freddie!
I would highly recommend this company! I had my wedding at Bluemont Vineyard and Dan was our DJ. He did an amazing job during the ceremony and absolutely crushed the music during our dancing portion. My grandparents even got out there for a song or 2! Dan was so kind and verified everything with me before he did anything. I've been getting calls since my recent wedding about how much fun everyone had. I can't thank Dan enough. HE IS THE BEST!
Dj Jeremy was awesome!! He was very easy to talk to and coordinate with! He helped with the entire timeline and was very detail oriented. He listened to my husband and I about the songs we wanted played and he stemmed from there and played an awesome playlist that went well with what we wanted!! Definitely recommend!! Thanks so much Jeremy!
If I could give 10 stars I would. I originally spoke with the company and they told me they would pair us with the person who would fit right with our personality. They told us Freddie was our guy. They couldn't have picked a more perfect guy for our wedding. He was organized, great with communicating, involved, and helped us figure out how we wanted our layout. At the wedding itself he expressed genuine excitement and happiness. He was a total blast and was very much a part of the party. Everyone at the wedding and after talked about how amazing Freddie was and how he made the wedding what it was. It felt like having a professional family member at our wedding. I would recommend him for anyone and everyone for honestly any event and all I can say is TRUST HIM he knows what he's doing and will make your event atmosphere unforgettable <3 thank you Freddie
Our experience with Musical DJ's and DJ Freddie B was absolutely amazing!!! From first contact with Dan to the send off with Freddie, we could not have asked for any better service and dedication. Freddie sat down with us and went over every step of the ceremony and reception. He played what we wanted to hear and kept the guests engaged all evening long. It seemed like all of our guest were on the dance floor the entire night! Our family and friends had nothing but excellent things to say about DJ Freddie and were blown away by his persona. My husband and I highly recommend using Musical DJ's and hope to attend another event with Freddie in the near future. We have already suggested DJ Freddie B for my brother's wedding next year. Hands down, you won't be disappointed with the quality and excellence of these guys.
There are truly no words to describe DJ Freddy! He was the most caring, genuine, fun, and energetic person to work with ever!
To start, we received some pretty frustrating news just two days before our wedding that our previous DJ who we booked through a different company (1.5 years before) cancelled. Understandably frantic, our amazing wedding coordinator at Bluemont Vineyard was thankfully able to locate and recommend DJ Freddy. Naturally we had our hesitations because we had never spoken to DJ Freddy. We did not know much about him and he did not know much about us either. Just a few hours after we learned about our cancellation, DJ Freddy reached out to us. It felt like a miracle because the instant he started talking, a huge weight left our shoulders. His energy, enthusiasm, and constant verbal reassurance was so genuine. We could literally feel his personality and excitement through the phone. He maintained consistent contact with us throughout the next couple days leading up to the wedding. He was so organized and efficient, making sure every tiny detail was addressed. He incorporated various unique small (and large) requests we had in mind to surprise our guests. He also offered various suggestions to our existing timeline which were VERY helpful. His ample DJ experience was definitely evident! In a matter of just 48 hours we completely trusted this incredible stranger to run our wedding. This “stranger” was the best thing that could have happened! THroughout the night DJ Freddy checked in on us to make sure we were okay, along with updating as we were moving through the timeline. His ability to get literally all 180 guests on the dancefloor was mind blowing but not surprising at all. His energy translated to all of our guests instantaneously. Not a single person left the venue without a smile and a sweaty dress/suit. He gave us his word that our night would be incredible and he surpassed our expectations!
If there is ever a time again in our lives that we need a DJ, we will definitely be calling him up. But in the meantime, we will just recommend and highly encourage others to hire Freddy!
We are forever grateful that Freddy was our DJ and would not have had it any other way! Everything really does happen for a reason. His devotion to us was undeniable and we will always have a special place in our hearts for him.
I would highly recommend Musical DJs and event lighting. From my first phone call with Dan, the owner of the company, to my last phone call with our DJ Freddie B, my experience was fantastic. They were thorough and accommodating with scheduling calls. When I told Dan we were having a fusion wedding he recommended Freddie B hosting our event. With all the planning I'd been doing I was just happy to have a DJ booked! Our first phone call with Freddie was more than pleasant! His high energy and kind spirit was evident. He had endless song suggestions and he set our final timeline for the day! He worked with my vision and accommodated us completely. The day of the event Freddie outshined EVERYONE including our event coordinator. He was with us through photos and ran through the rain to get things we forgot. He remembered everyone's names and was a friend the entire day! He kept us on schedule and partied with us! Every guest complimented him when they left for the evening. After our wedding we were asked for his information from multiple guests I gladly passed it along. This man was the real deal and went above and beyond his job description! The uplighting was also beautiful and made our reception hall that much more breathtaking. Brian and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Freddie!! You are the best there is and you will forever be our go to. Thanks again, friend!!
We couldn't have asked for a better DJ and would highly recommend! Freddie was so easy to work with and very professional at the same time. Freddie treats you like family and really values what you as a couple want the most. We were a really easy going couple and he helped us choose songs when we were really unsure. He makes sure everything is running as planned even in slightly difficult situations. The dance floor was always packed and he knows how to keep it that way. I would highly recommend booking him now before he's booked... because he's just that amazing.
My husband and I are so happy that we found Musical DJs! From the very start, Dan was SUPER responsive and helpful! He recommended DJ Jeremy James for our wedding and it was a perfect match. Before our wedding, Jeremy met with us and went over all the details to make sure our big day went exactly as we dreamed it. He had excellent recommendations when we weren't sure about something and was super flexible with the inevitable last-minute changes. The online planning tools they offer made it so easy to communicate music choices without sending tons of emails back and forth.
On the day of our wedding, Jeremy made sure everything went off without a hitch. His music choices and great personality kept the energy up and people on the dance floor all night. We are so grateful to Jeremy and Musical DJ's for helping to make our wedding day absolutely perfect!
DJ Freddie B was AMAZING!!! He is professional and all of my wedding guests had a blast!! Freddie played all of the songs that we wanted and kept everyone dancing all night long! He answered all of our questions and gave suggestions. We will be recommending Freddie to all that need a DJ in the future!!!
Let me just start by saying, DJ FREDDIE B. IS AWESOME!!! Picking the right DJ was ESSENTIAL when planning our wedding and we got it right with DJ Freddie B! My husband and I had been to many weddings where you hear the same music and/or Top 40 hits and wanted to find a DJ who is flexible and can work with our style of music. After our initial conversation, I knew Freddie could give us exactly what we wanted and more! Not only did he emcee the entire event and keep the dance floor packed all night with his great song choices and upbeat/contagious energy, he communicated with all of my vendors to ensure our timeline didn’t get thrown off when the inevitable “bump in the road” took place before the ceremony even started. All in all Freddie B. was awesome and we will definitely be recommending him to other friends and family and for events we’ll have in the future. THANKS AGAIN, FREDDIE B.!!!
Freddie B was awesome!!! I would HIGHLY recommend him! From before the wedding day, to the big day, he was on top of it and honestly the biggest reason as to why our wedding day was so perfect! Freddie met with us at our wedding location (backyard wedding) a few times prior to brainstorm/finalize our timeline for the day and to make sure everyone was on the same page. He was experienced, energetic, knowledgeable, passionate - and it showed! I still have people telling me how much they loved him =) Not only was he the best DJ, but MC too(!!), which was very important to us because we wanted to make sure we hired someone that was interactive and good at reading the crowd. He was all the above and really did keep the party rockin' all night long and helped tremendously with keeping the timeline going smoothly. I couldn't have had a better experience and will always have a special place in my heart for Freddie B!
Our initial point of contact was Dan, which was great too! He was informative and patient with me, as I was a mess and modified our contract a million times. For the ceremony we had piano, cello and a vocalist, and Dan helped with song recommendations and was super helpful since I had no idea what I was doing.
All around a wonderful experience! If you are looking for perfection, they're the ones! I am so blessed to have come across them. THANK YOU Musical DJs (Especially Freddie) for contributing to making our wedding day the best day of our lives! Cheers!
you are a life saver!!! You made planning 1,000 times easier. The breakdown of all of the times, and helping plan the flow of the whole wedding made planning feel not so stressful. You were even making sure that my husband and I ate! When I found out that someone else wanted to do a speech 5 minutes before speeches, you were not even phased. You made the wedding into a CELEBRATION, with your passion and energy. Thank you sooooo very much.
Freddie was very detailed oriented, had great suggestions as well when we did not have any ideas, very easy to work with. Kept the guests engaged and entertained. Great music and overall showmanship. I would highly recommend Freddie to my close friends and family-- he is that good and does not disappoint!
DJ Jeremy couldn't have been any better. I tend to be picky with my music and Jeremy's choices were spot on. His attention to detail , professionalism and ability to keep the crowd going was top notch. I couldn't reccomend him enough, my wife and I talked about how the good the music was days after the wedding !
DJ Jeremy James was great! He was responsive, easy to work with, and very personable. He listened to our song requests and helped us finalize our timeline. I highly recommend him and Musical DJs and Event lighting!
Musical Djs was able to provide great DJ service as well as live musicians for my ceremony and cocktail hour. They follow the schedule set forth with your DJ PRECISELY. They are all very professional and personable. DJ Jeremy kept the dance floor full despite it being 90 degrees!
We had the pleasure of having Musical DJs entertain our guests for our wedding! We were fortunate enough to have BOTH Dan LaMaestra and DJ Freddie B at our wedding.
Dan is a great pianist who entertained our guests during cocktail hour and dinner, while DJ Freddie B amped up the crowd and took care of both the ceremony and reception music.
Dan was our first point of contact and he was awesome with his communication throughout the entire process. He was great coordinating all of our wedding needs and even gave us some discounts to help us with our wedding budget. Towards the end of our wedding, we even found out that Dan had thrown in some extra lights for us that put a great design on the ceiling of our ballroom.
DJ Freddie B has got to be the BEST DJ in the world. He is right there with you from the planning process, to the actual ceremony, all the way to the end of your "best day ever". Freddie is not only a great DJ, but he is also an awesome person with a big heart. He went above and beyond for us on our special day, from being flexible with equipment setup during location changes due to the weather, to getting to know all of our family (yes, even our non-english speaking family members had fun talking with him), and he even gave our Maid of Honor a pep talk to help her get over her jitters before her speech! Freddie did an amazing job helping MC every single detail that we needed done to ensure we had a smooth wedding. Please take our word when we say that you cannot go wrong by booking DJ Freddie B. He takes his work seriously, and he makes it his mission to make sure that your day is the best he can make it.
Freddie! We are so honored that you were our DJ, we hope to work with you again in the future!
I originally spoke with Dan, who made The contracting phase easy! We met Freddie prior to signing the contract as it was important to us to know who our DJ was going to be prior. Freddie is frankly a rockstar! He listened to what we wanted, and had extremely helpful suggestions throughout the process. All of his suggestions were ones that brought value and fun to our event. He was mindful of our guests - ages, cultures and our personal preferences. We met serval times prior to the event, so there was no confusion the day of. Freddie a smooth and tight ship the day of. He kept us on time and didn’t miss a beat. It was fantastic to be able to be a guest at my own wedding reception!
Musical DJs and Event Lighting is not just a DJ/lighting company; they pride themselves on being part of your day-of coordination team. They will not bring a problem to you without several possible solutions. They are fiercely passionate about what they do and will do everything they can to make your day exactly what you want. In the months and weeks leading up to the wedding Dan was very responsive to all of my questions and concerns. I felt very comfortable discussing the different services his company offered without feeling like he was ever trying to up-sell me. As the wedding approached, we felt confident that we were getting exactly what we wanted for a price that fit within our budget. Our DJ, Freddie, came highly recommended from both Dan and our venue (Piedmont Club). Freddie was passionate, friendly, and upbeat. We gave him some general guidelines for what we wanted and he absolutely rocked it; he played just the right variety to keep everyone on the dance floor through the end of the night. I could not be more pleased with Dan and Freddie!
DJ Jeremy did a great job at our wedding! We met him a month or so beforehand to have a site walk through and discuss the timeline and our requests. We gave him a huge list of songs but asked him to use his best judgement to keep the party going, and he did just that. Everyone had so much fun that they chanted “one more song!” at the end - and he obliged! Both Jeremy and Dan are very professional and great at what they do. We were able to enter our songs, timeline, and bridal party details on the website, which was very convenient. We definitely recommend hiring these guys for your wedding!
Words cannot even begin to describe how amazing Musical DJs was during the planning stages. Dan was so prompt in the initial contracting stages, and extremely patient and more than happy to type of the 4 different quotes we had asked for. We knew we wanted Freddie B to be the DJ day of, and Dan made sure that happened! Freddie B was beyond amazing before and the day of!!! He understood our crazy schedule with work, a toddler, a dog, and life, and was so accommodating to planning around our schedule. He took the time to ask questions if he had any, made suggestions, answered questions we had, and day of was right on cue with the coordinator to keep the flow of things going. We had a wide variety of ages (1.5 years old to 84 years old) with different music likes attending, and my biggest concern was making sure everyone had fun and heard something that would get them on the dance floor. Not even sure why I was concerned, because Freddie B handled EVERYTHING!!! We saw all of our guests on the dance floor at some point in the evening, even if it was just for one song! During our last meeting, we told Freddie we wanted a specific song(not a well known song & older) played because my mom loved it so much. He said he would take care of it, but went above and beyond the day of. He actually dedicated the song to her, and the look on my mom's face as she ran to the dance floor was priceless. Freddie B loves what he does, and is so good at it, and it truly shows!!! He made our reception and I would not recommend ANYONE else to handle your wedding!! You will not be disappointed. Thank you Freddie, and Musical DJs, for one of the best nights of our lives!
DJ Freddie B. is incredible! If we could give 10 stars we would! His energy and attitude are top notch. He was the epitome of professionalism. Most importantly, he looked out for us on our big day. He worked so hard both before and on our wedding day to make sure everything was perfect. And it was.
I would recommend this man to anyone for any event they might throw. He was simply the best.
DJ Dan is the BEST!! He was communicative in the planning process, making sure we had everything we needed. The day of the wedding, he made everything run so smoothly. Dan really was incredible - we had an awesome time and our guests didn't leave the dance floor all night - it was everything we had hoped for.
I got married to my best friend in September 2017 and we hired DJ Freddie B as our wedding DJ. Both my wife and I feel that the DJ for a wedding really sets the tone and can easily “make or break” the wedding experience. Well, DJ Freddie B definitely delivered exceptional service and exceeded our expectations for our wedding. From day one, we saw how engaged and passionate Freddie was about his job and it was amazing to have such passion on our wedding team. Freddie helped us greatly with our wedding timeline and made sure we accounted for everything. I can honestly say that, without the help and guidance from Freddie, we wouldn't have been as well prepared for our big day. We both feel that the wedding would have not been as fun and joyous as it was without DJ Freddie B’s services and commitment to making sure we had the best experience! We are forever grateful to Freddie for providing such excellent service for our big day and making it a night to remember. Would we hire him again or recommend him? Absolutely, without hesitation!!! If you are looking for a DJ who is passionate about his art and delivers exceptional service, Freddie is your guy!
DJ Freddie B is out of this world AMAZING!!! My husband and I were so overwhelmed with the planning and figuring out the "flow" of the big day. After meeting just once with Freddie, were at ease and SO excited. He helped us pick some awesome songs and really kept the whole night on track with timing and kept our guests on the dance floor, without exaggeration, the ENTIRE time. Even some of our guests who are not dancers made their way out there. I just can rave enough about the professionalism and talent of Freddie B. He makes you feel like family and it showed! Our guests are still talking about it and it will have been a year this Sunday! Thank you Freddie!!!!
Working with these guys was so amazing! Dan is so responsive even when we were constantly changing our minds! And we had DJ Jeremy James for the day of and he was amazing, our families and guests both loved him and he made the day go by so easy! Hire these guys! You won't be disappointed
Freddie Borras is absolutely amazing!! He came highly recommended from a friend that recently got married and my husband and I couldn't be happier with our decision to hire Freddie as our DJ!! He has such a fun and outgoing personality and you can really tell he LOVES what he does!! From the first time we met him, we knew he was going to be awesome and we knew we had nothing to worry about on our wedding day!! Everything went so perfectly from the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to our reception!! He even had awesome suggestions for ceremony music that I would have never even known if it wasn't for him! During our reception, he nailed it! Everyone had a blast and everyone was out on the dance floor the entire night! He really knows how to read a crowd!!!! I even loved that he would run out on the dance floor and dance with us too! That shows how much fun he is!! The entire reception flowed smoothly and I didn't have to worry about a thing!! I would 1000% recommend him to anyone and everyone that is looking for a DJ!! You will not regret it, I promise!!!
Without DJ Freddie Borres Jr
Our party wouldn't turn out that perfect without the touch of his talent. We both are so pleased with his work.
Our guests had a blast and if anyone ever need a DJ, I wouldnt think twice to send DJ Freddie your way. He went above and beyond to make sure things ran smooth as well as keeping lots of uests on the dance floor! Thank you again and keep up the great work.

The entire process from the initial meet to the end of the wedding night went smoothly and great because of Musical DJs! We highly recommend them for any event! Freddie was our DJ during the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. He was absolutely amazing to work with and the guests loved him. We were worried with the wide range of ages and personalities, but everyone was on the dance for at some point of the night. He made the wedding day so much better and move along smoothly. No need to hire a day-of-coordinator if you have Freddie! Thank you!!
I can’t say enough about Freddie Borras. We hired him because he was well recommended by a friend and everyone else on the wedding websites apparently. From the beginning, he made me feel more at ease because he was super positive, supportive and sooo excited about our wedding. He is professional, energetic, and really helpful with planning out the timeline of the reception and brought up logistical wedding things that I didn’t think about. He was an amazing DJ and a really hyped and pumped up MC. With that alone, I would recommend hiring him. What stood out for me though was his warm personality. Sure we paid him to be our DJ/MC but it felt like he was also part of the family celebrating with us. My aunts and moms loved dancing with him and told me what a nice guy he was. During our Hora Loca another DJ hopped on and Freddie didn’t just stand around. He helped pass out the party items and showed people how to do the line dances. This guy does not stop moving. We were told several times what a great DJ we had and were asked if he was a friend of ours before the wedding. Freddie won’t just DJ/MC your wedding; he will be an essential component to a successful and fun night. Thanks Freddie!
I'm pretty much a train wreck of a bride, I put together the entire wedding in less than two months. I contacted DJ Freddie B on referral only 2 weeks out! He was AMAZING and by far the reason everything came together so perfectly in the end. He met with us to get to know us and our vision. He was flexible to my many last minute changes and was able to put me at ease and offer advice based upon his extensive experience. He was responsive and understanding, even when I was texting him late the night before the wedding. He read my guest well and interacted with them to make the night fun for everyone. DJ Freddie B also had the most reasonable price. I can't thank him enough for how much help he was and couldn't have pulled this off without him. He helped make my day perfect as far as coordinating details and making it the most memorable night celebrating with all my favorite people.
DJ Jeremy was amazing for our wedding reception in August. He was very professional and added that extra touch and had everyone out on the dance floor - it was like he was a part of our entire group rather than just a hired professional. He was able to accommodate our delayed timeline and even reminded us we needed to cut the cake (we were having so much fun we forgot! Lol) Communication was very well streamlined before which eased a lot of pre-wedding stress. We couldn't be more happy we chose to go with Jeremy for our special day. I highly recommend his services for any of your needs! Thanks DJ Jeremy!
From Musical DJ's, Jeremy was recommended to me by a friend who had Jeremy at her wedding, and I learned he is also DJ-ing another wedding in her family. To be honest it was a bit difficult to get a hold of Jeremy at first because I think we had initially contacted him during a popular vacation time, but once we established contact he was easy to correspond with throughout the process. Musical DJ's also had great packages that kept us in our budget. From our first meeting, I immediately felt like I could trust him and he completely exceeded our expectations! I had certain songs and events in my timeline that I felt were unique to my wedding, and Jeremy accommodated and MC'd all of it seamlessly. He was an amazing MC, was super energetic and professional (not pushy like some DJs), and my family almost never left the dance floor! I hope we can work with Jeremy again in the future!
We used Musical DJs for our live musicians at the ceremony, sounds services, DJ services, and uplighting. They were FANTASTIC! Dan is very professional to work with, and reasonably priced, especially for the level of service he provides. We had two phone calls during the planning process, and they have a website where I was able to log in and put in ceremony information, select must play songs, and provide the bridal party information. It was convenient and put my mind at ease for the day of the wedding.
The live musicians were wonderful – Dan even scored a specific song at my request. Dan was also our DJ that evening and I could not have been happier – the dance floor was always packed, and I liked every song that he played. And the uplighting – if you’re on the fence about getting it, do it! We had uplights that changed colors throughout the evening, and it made the ballroom look so much nicer than had they not been there. I was a little worried about the changing colors at first, but it worked so well!
Dan also served as Emcee – he paced the events well, and kept everyone informed. I was worried about the reception because we didn’t have wedding planner, but Dan filled this role easily, and well.
I can’t say enough about Musical DJs…they did a great job, and we received so many compliments about them from our guests. I will also say that getting live musicians, a DJ, and uplighting from one vendor was a big bonus!
Freddie from Musical DJs is absolutely phenomenal.
His prep was easy: A phone call to discuss what we were looking for and any special requests (We wanted to do the Chicken Dance and have grandma and her 6 year old grandson lead it. For setup, Freddie rolled in and got everything in and set, smoothly and professionally. During the reception he was both DJ and MC.
As MC he kept the pace of the event right on time (and hit every cue, including the Chicken Dance, right on the money!). As DJ he kept the dance floor full the ENTIRE night... right until the end! I could go on and on, but in summary: Musical DJs did us right, and Freddie really helped to make our special (Wedding) night!
I would not hesitate one moment of booking Freddie for any future event.
Musical DJ's provided great help throughout my entire planning process. Their website has a great timeline and helps organize all the important songs for your day. Everyone was pleasant to work with and Jeremy put on a real party for our guests.
Dj Freddie B with musical djs was our dj for our wedding on May 20. We met with Freddie about a month before our wedding to go over the reception timeline and to talk about songs for different parts of the reception (cake cutting, entrance songs, bouquet toss etc). Freddie was extremely personable and full of ideas and energy. On our wedding, Freddie helped to make sure everything went smoothly and he helped keep everything on schedule. He kept everyone on the dance floor all night and was so much fun to work with. He brought so much excitement and energy to the reception!! He was truly the best Dj we could have hoped for!! We would absolutely recommend Freddie to anyone looking for the perfect wedding Dj!
