We worked with Mike Q and had the most amazing experience. We told him our highest priority was to never have a lull in the dance floor and he absolutely delivered. Our guests were dancing all night long and everyone told us how amazing the DJ was. We had a crowd of all different ages and he did a great job of mixing in songs for everyone. We also talked about him playing songs fast and not staying on one song for too long, and he did this better than I could have imagined and he got through every song I wanted to hear and was able to take requests as well from our guests. Even the people in the bar below us were asking who our DJ was and said he was the best they have ever heard at the venue. He was also so professional and we loved working with him. Thank you so much Mike!!! Next time we need a DJ we will 1000% book him again, and you should too!

Overall, I'd recommend Maryland's DJ for weddings and special events. As an outfit, they're as slick and professional as it gets. Their online tool is fantastic, especially if you're like we are and feel the need to carefully tweak the music selections over and over again! It's surprising what you'll find in their database, and you can very easily add your own music for whatever's missing. The uplighting was extremely tasteful (especially since our venue had a lot of decorative lighting to start with), and Mike Q kept people on their feet throughout the night. If you're the type of couple that largely just wants to leave things in the hands of the professionals after establishing a few guiding principles, Maryland's DJ would be a godsend.
My husband and I are both pretty persnickety and neurotic about certain things, and thus there are a few areas we felt could've been improved. However, in this day and age it deeply hurts a business to leave anything less than a 5 star review unless they were truly lacking. Our criticisms are pretty minor, and meant to be constructive. A few announcements were a bit jumbled, and the audio quality on one or two songs was weirdly grainy. We left a lot of notes in the app prior to the wedding, so I can understand we may have provided a little too much input on certain things that didn't go exactly perfect. While we mentioned we wanted to get the slow dances out of the way early in the night to maximize folks' dance time, this was taken a bit to the extreme and my husband and I were still chewing our cake for most of our first dance. Nevertheless, these are all in the long run small issues that didn't detract from our happiness that day. Our guests largely didn't notice, either. We've heard so many DJ horror stories from other couples (and witnessed a few firsthand ourselves at others' events) that I would still say our experience with Maryland's DJ was generally fantastic.

DJ Brian from Maryland DJ was great! He didn’t overly MC like a bat mitzvah/sweet 16 DJ would and let the music do its thing. He had awesome transitions and was really flexible with the weather moving the wedding inside and starting later than anticipated. He also did an amazing job finding our exact cover / acoustic songs that we wanted for the processional. We loved Maryland DJ and would recommend them to anyone!

Maryland's DJ and DJ Mike Q were the ABSOLUTE BEST. I cannot recommend them enough. My husband and I are tough music critics and insisted on a very specific music vibe for our wedding and DJ Mike absolutely nailed it. They brought energy, visuals, and of course big sounds. We were lit, our guests were lit, it was exactly what we wanted.
Ryan Livingston
Great DJ service company. Very professional and kept everyone put on the dance floor all night. Highly recommend!

Cannot recommend Maryland's DJ enough. Steve helped make our wedding everything we wanted and more. Handled a few last minute changes with ease and kept the party going all night. Multiple guests have told me in the days since the wedding how great our DJ was. If you're looking for a DJ look no further than Maryland's DJ
Hanifah Mohamad
Big thank you to DJ Brian and Maryland's DJ! The party was on the dance floor the entire night! And Brian was very flexible with our ideas and our request for meetings. We had the most amazing night ever and you guys were a very big part of it. - Hanifah and James!

Jordan was absolutely THE BEST DJ! Periodt. Our dancefloor was packed for 4 hours because of Jordan. The way he weaved in our "must play" songs into other songs and remixes that fit the vibe of the room was truly masterful. To keep that many people going for that long was really awesome. Even during the cocktail hour and dinner, the music he selected was perfect. So many people came up to us both during and after the ceremony to ask "where do I find that song," because the music was so perfectly us they assumed we had made a playlist. But no, it was all Jordan. He took the time to actually get to know us before the ceremony, to pick up on exactly what we liked (and just as importantly disliked) so that the music would be perfect. Also, can't emphasize how impressed we were with the uplighting he provided, which really added an extra element to the room. The photobooth was also amazing. Would 100% recommend Jordan!!

My husband and I cannot recommend Maryland's DJ enough. Based on our preferences, we were paired with DJ Steve. We have been impressed with him since day 1. Having never planned a wedding before, my husband and I did not know the process. However, Steve walked us through everything. He was organized, clear, easily accessible, and had the crowd dancing all night. The company has a lot of prep documents which helped ups plan for the flow of the night and really consider what we wanted for our evening -- this helped so much. Would rehire again and highly recommend to others!

My husband and I used Marylands DJ for our wedding reception and they were wonderful! They were great throughout the planning process in making sure they really captured what we wanted and everyone that we worked with was incredibly nice, especially DJ Harvey. He was super flexible and accomodating during the wedding when I asked if we could change a couple things on the spot, and our guests loved him as well! Highly recommend!

We had an amazing experience with our DJ Mike Q. Before we even chose to hire Maryland's DJ, he invited us out to see him perform which we HIGHLY recommend to any couple looking for a DJ. We got to see his style and read the energy in the room. Our wedding reception could not have gone any smoother. He checked in with us before and after big moments and made sure we were comfortable at all times (including being down to cut some dances short if needed). We really appreciated this because being in front of hundreds of people can be a LOT. His MC skills are top tier and the dance floor was PACKED ALL NIGHT LONG! He played all of our special requests and built off the list we gave him perfectly, even taking requests from our guests. He started amping up the energy during dinner so by the time the dance floor opened everyone was ready to party. We are still getting complements from guests about the music and atmosphere of the reception, thanks to our awesome DJ. THANK YOU SO MUCH MIKE Q!!!

We had Steve from Maryland's DJ and he was fantastic! He was able to read the room and we had folks dancing all night! Additionally Steve was very responsive and thorough during the whole planning phase which we couldn't be more grateful. Highly recommend this group!

DJ Steve from Maryland’s DJ provided music and lights for our event and was incredible! The lighting was perfect for the venue and really brought our vision to life. The music was on point all evening, and we really appreciated how willing Steve was to make announcements on the fly and to just go find out answers to questions so we didn’t have to stress. The guests had a great time dancing and so did we! We 100% recommend Steve and Maryland’s DJ for your wedding or other event!

Ryan Carr with Maryland's DJ was awesome, he was great to work with through the process of planning our wedding, explained everything thoroughly and was super helpful. He and his partner for our event set the mood for our whole day and we can't recommend them highly enough, everyone loved the energy and the music. Their planning features were so awesome, they allowed us to organize songs by must play, do not play, etc. which really helped us put our personality into our wedding.

Working with Jordan from Maryland's DJ was easy, seamless, and fun! From our first phone consultation with him, we knew that he was the DJ for us. It felt like he understood our musical taste and the vibe of each element of our wedding day even better than we could explain. During our reception, Jordan was communicative and able to keep the night organized with a natural flow. Our guests never left the dance floor once the evening got going, and the photo booth was an absolute hit!
Terra Bergamy
We were between two different vendors for our wedding and I couldn’t be more thankful to have committed to Mike Q and Marylands DJ! We had only two short meetings because Mike was on the same wave length as us the moment we had our consult with him. Mike was easy going, reassuring, organized, and so much fun. He made our Polish American wedding feel like an absolute dream and had our entire family on the dance floor in seconds. He also knew when to reel everyone in to have the heartfelt serious moments. Don't miss the opportunity to have Marylands DJ mix at your event!
Maddie Huff
Brian helped create the PERFECT atmosphere for our day! He kept the party going from the moment he got there! He worked with us through changes in music and my crazy bridal party requests. We couldn’t have asked for someone better! We got to hear every song we requested and more, his mix was amazing and kept everyone dancing. Brian is at the TOP of my list for every single event!
Aisling Howley
Steve from Maryland’s DJ perfectly captured our wedding vision and had everyone on their feet all night! He was great at moving the night through speeches and cake cutting and then getting people back out on the dance floor. He also played music for our ceremony and it was absolutely beautiful. We cannot recommend him enough to our friends getting married in the future. Thanks again, Steve!

Jordan literally made our wedding a party! We had multiple meetings with him via Zoom because we needed help with song selections and he sat with us and helped us pick out the perfect ones!
