Black Tie DJs

I cannot say enough good things about Black Tie DJs. They promptly contacted me after inquiring about them and were super nice on the phone. Our particular DJ Brad, was awesome! He played the ceremony music and also the reception. He was super nice and easy to work with and so flexible. He did great in keeping the reception events going and on time, I didn't have to worry about a thing! I put most of the music choice in his hands and he read the crowd well and played the right music. I would definitely recommend them to any Bride!

We hired Black Tie DJs and were set-up with Andrew Logan and I am so happy to have met him. I have a feeling people are going to be talking about our reception for a long time! My husband and I had a few "must play" songs and Andrew took care of the rest, he had everyone coming out to the dance floor and it was full until the end. Thanks again!

We booked Black Tie DJ’s after meeting Dave Melton the owner at a bridal show/open house. It was one of the best decisions we made. Our DJ was Carl and he was amazing. He was warm and welcoming, funny and entertaining, all while encouraging everyone to get up and dance. Given our varied tastes in music – he had quite the task to play a combination of country, current pop hits, with a little classic rock mixed it. And he nailed it! Carl clearly loves his job and his energy is contagious. We had a problem with our caterer causing dinner to be delayed for an hour. We – and our guests – had become restless and he did his best to work through the situation with us. His sense of humor worked well in calming us down when we got impatient waiting for the reception to start. He has to be the star of our wedding vendors and I can’t say enough good things about him. If your DJ is Carl – rest easy your guests will have a ball.

We were extremely pleased with Black Tie Djs. Dave, the owner, asked us about our event and had us complete a detailed form to describe the event and our music preferences, level of DJ interaction, etc. Very organized. He matched us with a great DJ, Russ. Russ had a great, deep DJ voice and was able to gauge the guests musical preferences with amazing flexibility and accuracy. He had song and song set selection down to a science. All of our guests danced the entire night, and we didn't even serve alcohol!

Book Black Tie and ask for Russ. No need to pay extra for a face-to-face meeting, just get the basic package and do a Skype meeting. It worked...

Brad McCormick was the DJ for the after dinner portion of our wedding and he did an excellent job. He was professional, responsive to our requests and kept the people on the dance floor. We've heard other Black Tie DJs two other times and they were great then as well. The company works with you to find the DJ that would be appropriate for your event; I highly recommend them

Black Tie DJ's was great! From the very first phone call they were able to answer all of my questions and provided me with information I didnt know I needed. The selected Matt Johnson for my DJ and he was great. The dance floor was packed for the entire night and everyone had a great time.

Black Tie DJs are awesome to work with. They make it so easy to book, plan, and pay. Everything is done through their online database which makes it super convenient when planning a wedding. I originally spoke with Dave Melton and he was so helpful with answering my intial questions. We ended up being matched with Eddy Bobby as our DJ. He was great. He was on time and played the perfect music for my guests. It was especially special when he played my favorite song ever (Dave Matthews Band, "Crush") for our last dance. I didn't even give him a heads up that it was my favorite song. He was also very interactive with the guests when he played line dances. He was overall a great DJ and I would recommend Black Tie DJs to anyone who wants a DJ to get the party started!

Our experience with Black Tie DJs was nothing short of oustanding. Dave was extremely helpful and responsive throughout the planning process. We had a lot of song requests that weren't listed in their library (including a song by Kermit the Frog), but he assured us that it was no problem to get them, and sure enough, every single one was played at the reception. Our DJ, Russ Reiff, was fantastic! He was not only a delight to talk to, but he went above and beyond to make sure he knew exactly what we wanted played and when, and he kept the reception going according to our timeline. What's more, my husband and his brothers planned to perform a song at the reception. Russ made sure they had the equipment they needed and handled the set up for them! The dance floor was packed all night, and many of our guests commented on how great the song selections were. To top it off, Black Tie DJs is VERY reasonably priced. But don't let the low cost fool you. These guys are top quality, professional DJs who will work to make sure your reception is a success.

Black Tie DJ's was AMAZING!!!! They request you fill out planning forms online - which is great, because you can do it at your leisure - we made multiple changes up until the week before. Our DJ was DJ Matt Johnson who did an absolutely amazing job!!! Everyone kept telling us they would love to hire him for a birthday party or any other event they have!!! DJ Matt was great to work with!! He had really great suggestions - like moving the toast to earlier in the night so the Best Man and MOH didn't have to wait around all night thinking about it! He also helped calm down our Ring Bearer who was getting upset about the possibility of not being introduced with the rest of the party. Matt did a great job!!!

Our DJ, Eddie Bobby, was PERFECT. He suited our crowd so well, and played great music all night. He also served as our Master of Ceremonies, and did a great job getting every "event" coordinated throughout the night so that no one missed a thing. At the end of the night, two of my bridesmaids went to him to request a song as the "final song," and he told them that he didn't have it... but he said he'd get it. Ten minutes later, he had downloaded it, and I got surprised with our special song for the final dance. He was great! Everyone in our family is still talking about how great the music was, and how packed the dance floor was the whole night. I've been to two weddings since ours, and the DJs didn't even compare. I was so pleased with our decision. My best friend got married two months before I did, and also used Black Tie, and she was just as happy as I was. We're two-for-two, and my sister has signed her contract with them for next June. Highly recommend this company!

Amazing job! We had matt as our dj and loved him! He was such a jovial, great entertainer! Everyone loved him! He included all the important songs and placed them in the perfect spot during the reception. Dave also answered all our questions immediately. It was a perfect all-around experience!

I loved their planning form. I knew that I was going to get what I wanted! He played all the songs I wanted to hear, and everyone had a great time.

Black Tie was extremely professional, available and punctual throughout the planning and execution of our event. Our DJ, Eddy, solved unexpected problems and the night was perfect. Highly recommended.

Our DJ was Eddy Bobby and he was fantastic. He played all of the "right" songs and we only had 3 songs on our must-play list. It was like he knew us for years! He got everyone dancing and having a blast. Many guests commented on the excellent choice of songs played. He called me a few times before the wedding to check-in and go over the reception schedule and touch base to make sure I felt comfortable with everything. I would highly recommend Black Tie DJs.

Eddy Bobby was a fabulous DJ and kept the dance floor full all night. We got many compliments on him from our guests for his music selection. He was a great master of ceremonies without having to constantly be talking in the microphone. My family and I are very glad we got him as our DJ!

We chose Black Tie DJ's after a friend told us of what an amazing job the DJ did at her sister's wedding. And... they followed suit at our own! Brad was our DJ and he was awesome. We wanted someone to make the necessary announcements but not be too cheesy, and he wins! He was able to have the night and our guests move in those certain ways when you need them too, he was able to set the tone, and he got people moving when it was time to move. All seamlessly, without visible effort.

When I first started planning the wedding I thought that I would be planning out the entire playlist because it was something I thought I would need to do to ensure the tone of our evening was right. I was obviously a crazy person for thinking I would have time for this and... that's why you hire a DJ! From our chat and the few key songs I had picked out (introductions, first dance, father daughter, and a few key ones that Matthew and I knew we wanted to hear) Brad was able to come up with the perfect songs all throughout the evening.

Everyone loved the music during dinner, it gave off such a great vibe. And the party was rocking on the dance floor all night. We had such a great time and the entire evening went so smoothly. Brad worked with our other vendors to create a seamless evening. Fantastic job and thank you!

Black Tie DJs was recommended to us by a relative who used them for her wedding reception. Although we had some trouble selecting songs on the online event planning form, we were able to send a spreadsheet directly to Andrew (our assigned DJ) and had a couple of pre-event calls to make sure everything was in order. We had a special request for the introduction of the wedding party and Andrew worked with us to make sure we supplied him with the correct type of music files. The music selection was a really important part of our reception to us, and Andrew gave us some good advice on the order of songs. At the reception, he did a great job serving a master of ceremonies and was able to play almost every song from our request list. Our guests all had a great time!

Eddy Bobby was the DJ we chose for our wedding on Saturday, 6/11/2011. He was fantastic! Easy going, relaxed, professional, and just overall a good guy. He had everyone dancing at our wedding. He did an exceptional job balancing our requests and picking selections of his own based on our guests and the feel of the party. Since I had already met Eddy Bobby at a bridal exhibit, we set up a video conference/chat online so my finance/husband could have the opportunity to meet him prior to the wedding. We received a discount for holding our meeting online as oppose to an in person meeting. Another plus.

I did plenty of research before meeting Black Tie DJs, and found Black Tie DJs' rates were by far the best. What really attracted me to them was their online capability. We could request all our songs and compile our playlist through their website. We could also upload our schedule, pay our bill, even sign our contract online. It's easy to use, and it made my life so MUCH easier.

I highly recommend Black Tie DJs. They have a variety of DJs to choose from. My husband and I are in our late 20s/early 30s. We found Eddy Bobby was the guy for us.

Thank you Eddy Bobby and Dave Melton for making it a positive experience for us!

We hired Brad McCormick from Black Tie DJ's for our wedding and he was great. We wait until 2 months before the wedding to even book the dj and didn't schedule a call with Brad until maybe 1 month before because our schedules were just so crazy. They have a great website so that you can really customize everything that you want to hear. List top 15 "must play songs" Top 15 "do not play songs", Top 15 "try to play" etc. We also gave Brad a list of songs that we would like to hear for the cocktail hour and dinner portion and he really followed our wishes. We also had a very specific intro song and announcement song that he was able to do seamlessly for us.
All of our wedding guests have been telling us all summer that our DJ was so perfect for our wedding and no one could stop dancing because the songs kept getting better and better. Brad was really great during the reception, if there was a song that i wanted to hear at a specific time, he was really receptive and did exactly what I asked.
I would highly recommend Brad and Black Tie DJs to any bride and groom.

Black Tie DJs was VERY easy to deal with from booking to the planning of the actual day & making our specific requested music lists. We chatted with our DJ, Dave Melton, over the phone and then at our reception everything was absolutely perfect and went VERY well. Even the staff & guests commented to me that they had never heard better music at a reception yet was able to still have conversations with other guests not having to talk above the music level. Dave was very in tune with the wedding guests & was professional the ENTIRE night as well as personable. Dave was such a blessing to have as our "Music Man" at our wedding and would HIGHLY recommend him to other Brides & Grooms looking for a DJ.

Jordan & Niki Lee

Black Tie DJs was VERY easy to deal with from booking to the planning of the actual day and making the request list. We chatted with our DJ, Brad McCormick, over the phone and then a week later we had our reception that went VERY well. Even the staff commented to me that they had never heard better music at a reception at that hotel. Brad was very in tune with the crowd and there was no song that cleared the dance floor!

We had DJ Eddy Bobby play at our wedding on May 7th and he did an AMAZING job. He did everything we asked him to do, was felxable and kept us informed at all times. He was extremely proffesional and open to taking request from guest all night long. Our dance floor was never empty and we have DJ Eddy Bobby to thank for that. He made our wedding night a blast. A special thanks to Dave for assuring use that Eddy Bobby would do a wonderful job and thank you to Eddy Bobby for making it all happen!!

I normally hate to give straight 5s, but I couldn't find anything wrong with our DJ, Brad McCormick, and Black Tie DJ's service and responsiveness. Brad was a true professional, responding to our e-mails and sending reminders about our request lists. He completely followed our timeline after the we discussed, checked in with us throughout the wedding about music volume, came over to get us (as requested) to start the anniversary dance and cake cutting, and made suggestions about how to adjust here and there to make things flow better since dinner was running long. He had a great mix of music and really read the crowd well. He didn't play anything on the 'do not' play list, and he mixed in our 'must plays' in great spots throughout the night.
We used him for the ceremony as well, and it was spot on for the relaxed mood we were setting - he recommended some Vitamin String Quartet music during the prelude - so fun! And everything was faded in and out well.
Black Tie DJs was not expensive compared to the other options out there, and we definitely got our money's worth. The website is a little boring, but functional and gives you a good idea of the music that they have readily available. It was no problem for them to find a couple of specific songs that I didn't see in database, either. But take Black Tie DJs' advice and leave them flexibility on the playlists, they did great.

In addition to the HIGH degree of professionalism and responsiveness...these guys were FUN, FUN, FUN. Their thorough questionnaire prior to the wedding made for an excellent selection of music for all the age groups represented.

Their timing and announcing was clear, concise and appropriate.

From start to finish Black Tie was professional and flexible. Dave and Tony (the owner and our DJ) stayed in frequent contact and they were flexible with the set up and break down times. Tony was the best! He knew just how to read the crowd and provided AWESOME music choices. We danced the night away with our guests. We received lots of compliments from our guests about the music! Tony did a great job! I would do business with Black Tie DJ's for any party or any occasion without hesitation!

Outstanding! Matt was amazing and the planning process was easy. Our DJ made our wedding so much fun and I have recommended Black Tie DJ's to everyone!

Russ was our DJ and he did a fantastic job. The mix of music was perfect for our crowd and he kept the dance floor full right to the end of the night. My guest were very pleased and that made me even happier! Great Job!!

Black Tie DJ's was amazing to work with. Their owner Dave stayed on top of me during my decision process as DJ seemed to be difficult for me due to the fact that I was not exactly sure what I was looking for or what to look for in a DJ.

Black Tie DJs make this process much more pleasant for couples to work together on making Reception music and timeline.

Russ Reiff was our DJ and he was PERFECT!! Very seasoned in different genres of music as well as very personable. He actually was able to meet with us before and walk through his resume as well as help us with timeline for reception and suggestions on ceremony musicians and selections of songs to possibly use.

Russ kept our Reception music going and we received a ton of compliments as to the music selections as everyone young and old were out on the dance floor the whole night. I was worried about certain songs being played but after speaking and meeting with Russ as well as going over what different genres and songs we did like and want played he did a FABULOUS job!!!

Definitely recommend this DJ over any other that we spoke to during our planning process.

Russ was our DJ from Black Tie DJ's and he did a wonderful job. He played all of our requests and took requests from the audience. Our wedding would not have been so lively without him.

Black Tie DJs was great. When I first contacted them, the owner called me and walked me through all my questions and explained the whole process.

Matt, our DJ, played every one of our requested songs and at requested times. He read the crowd perfectly and knew what to play when. Everyone (even my Dad) danced and sang along all night!

Brad did an awesome job! He was very flexible and had great music selections

Black Tie DJ's did an Amazing job!! I highly recommend them to anyone! They really take the time to get to know what DJ would fit best for you and just generally nice people. They are not pushy and really made our Wedding that much better!!

I really enjoyed working with Black Tie DJs. They were easy going and very professional and kept us on track with our wedding reception timeline. They did not have our first dance song in their database at the time we booked them but the DJ was kind enough to purchase it on Itunes so we didn't have to burn it onto a cd for him. They are fairly flexible with their planning and VERY professional looking. We were very happy to have them as our DJs for the night :)

I loved these guys! When I read through wedding forums, I just can't believe someone wouldn't have a DJ for their wedding- I am certain Matt made our reception. I have never danced so much in my life and I couldn't believe how much everyone was dancing the entire night. Parts of my family danced that I didn't even know had a dancing bone in their body. Matt was great at keeping the crowd entertained all the way until we got kicked out of the venue. He played everything we wanted and had a special way of reading the crowd. He was very helpful all the way up to the wedding day. He was very personable too...complimenting me on the songs I picked for the ceremony musicians. He made me feel like a queen..saying he wouldn't do anything any guest asked of him without my approval first. I would absolutely recommend these guys to anyone.

They were friendly, professional, paid attention to detail and did everything we asked. Our DJ made the whole night absolutely perfect!

We were lucky enough to have Matt Johnson as the DJ for our wedding. He was AWESOME! Everyone kept complimenting us on how the party rocked the entire night. During the one (short) time in the evening where the dance floor was a little empty, Matt got out there himself to teach everyone a dance to keep the party going. He was absolutely fantastic to work with and if I ever needed to hire a DJ again, I would definitely get him! Black Tie DJs, as a company, was also very easy to work with. Overall, Black Tie DJs and Matt earn an A+!

We had Matt as our DJ this past weekend and he was fantastic. He kept the party moving the whole night and really read what the crowd wanted. He was also a DJ at my best friend's wedding in July and did just as well there! I would recommend him (or Black Tie DJs) to anyone!

Our DJ, from Black Tie DJs, was very professional, but was laid back enough to have a good time. He played all of our "must haves" and threw in others that totally fit our taste. We had people on the dance floor the whole time, and suprisingly people we didn't expect to be on there. He reached different songs with different generations, but all were ones we loved dancing to. It was very easy to get in touch with our dj. He even took a call during his daughter's game - really sacrificed for us. We appreciate them so much!

Carl Nubile was our DJ and was awesome! I have not one bad thing to say. The only thing I knew about our wedding is that I wanted everyone to hit the dancefloor at some point in the night old and young. Let me just tell you, our dance floor stayed packed all night! People commented on how they just enjoyed watching Carl because he was having so much fun. People are still telling us that our wedding was the most fun wedding they have ever been to.

Our DJ was awesome! A DJ is someone you want to be able to trust because if you don't have good music, no one will dance and it will damper the mood of the reception. When you first book them, they have you answer questions so they can best match you to a DJ, which is a great thing to do! Black Tie DJs did a fantastic job matching us up with a DJ that fit our personalities. We had Tony Gaetano, and he played fantastic music selections and was involved with all the guests. He brought colorful lights that made the dance floor look amazing and he honored the songs we really wanted played. Black Tie DJs is affordable and caters to your wants. Our reception would not have been near as fun if it wasn't for this DJ.

Black Tie DJ's are the best. I used them for my daughter's wedding. Karl was fantastic. My daughter and son-in-law found him very easy to work with in selecting the music and setting the timeline for the reception. He kept the crowd on the dance floor and played just the right mix of music. Karl was animated and really seemed to enjoy the event as much as we did. Black Tie DJ's is very professional, dependable and a good value. One of the best vendors that we worked with.

Absolutely wonderful company and DJ! We had a very large reception and he kept everyone dancing all night long! Their website planning tools are great and allow you to map out your reception and music in advance. You can also pay online which is nice! Their staff was incredibly easy to work with and we would highly recommend them to anyone! We even had wedding guests asking for their information!

Our DJ was Matt and he was terriffic. He played just the right music for the crowd. Everyone commented on how good he was. He was very flexible when we needed to make changes.

The DJ we had, Carl, was great! He was very energetic and really got into the music - very entertaining. EVERYONE at our wedding was up and dancing and we received lots of compliments on how much fun people had.

This was the DJ of my dreams, fantastic job guys!

We had a wonderful experience with Matt. He was fun and entertaining.

outstanding!

Our DJ, Matt, was fantastic. He knew how to keep everyone dancing. He also did a great job at being the Master of Ceremonies. Many guests commented on how much fun the reception was and it was due to him.

The DJ Service was wonderful to work with. The great survey they conduct in the beginning is great because they pair you and your fiance with a compatable DJ.

Black Tie DJs did an amazing job with our wedding reception! They kept the dance floor packed, events on time, and made sure everything was exactly as we had discussed. We left some of the music choices to them and they did a wonderful job matching our tastes. We couldn't say enough about them - very highly recommended!

Black Tie DJs were great to work with. Dave quickly responded by phone to my online request for a quote. He very clearly explained their services and helped me choose only the services and options I needed. It was easy to make all the arrangements and song selections using their online forms, after which we were contacted by the DJ that best matched our needs. Bob Artman was excellent! He provided perfectly cued ceremony music for us outdoors, cocktail music in another location, then introduced the wedding party in the ballroom and got the party going. We were told that people don't tend to dance as much at afternoon weddings, but Bob kept our guests on the floor with great music selections. He even got out there with us and showed as a few moves. I highly recommend these DJs.

I'm so glad we decided to go with Black Tie DJ!

Greg Gorham was our DJ and he was so easy going and so flexible with everything. All we had to do was give him a call or send him an email and he worked with us to create the musical ideal. As far as the reception dancey dance music, I couldn't focus on creating a playlist (or even a do-not-playlist), so I told him to feel out the crowd and play anything (as well as take requests) - and boy, can this guy can feel out a crowd! We had people on the dance floor the whole night! He didn't play any "today" music and mostly older stuff, but all music that everyone can dance to and I love love looooved it!!

Our budget couldn't afford live musicians like I had originally wanted, so we had our DJ play our ceremony music as well as our reception music and it worked out great!

Our DJ's name was Ned Barker. Ned was great; he was friendly but not cheesy. He played everything we wanted and made any announcements we needed (like our super cute ringbearer's surprise martial arts demonstration). Our dance floor was always full, everyone had a blast.

Black Tie DJs provided the ultimate party experience and atmosphere for our wedding. Brad was our DJ and he was perfect- responsive and professional! We received countless compliments on our DJ!

Black Tie did a great job. They did uplighting for us as well as music. People were out on the dance floor having a great time all night. Our only problem was that the DJ was using a pre-set playlist that included our first dance song. It started to play and the groom rushed over to get it changed. The DJ, Eddie, was quick to switch songs and apologized several times. No one else at the wedding noticed. Eddie was very professional and attentive.

Terri WAS FANTASTIC!! I would recommend Black Tie to anyone getting married in the NOVA area, their prices are reasonable and the DJs are amazing! For a group of attendees who never dance, most people spent the majority of the night on the dance floor! Only minor detail that was messed up is my sister in law was announced as Katie instead of Kate but not a big deal and in the overall picture didnt make the reception any less fun! Thank you Terri for a fabulous evening :)

All the information provided by Dave was incredibly helpful and was the reason why we went with Black Tie DJs. Matt was our DJ for the wedding and he did an incredible job MCing and getting the crowd involved.
My only complaint would be I wished he played more top 20 music from today, but I could have made that more clear as well, so I do not want to fault them completely.
I would recommend Black Tie DJs!

We had Brad McCormick DJ our November wedding at Old Ebbitt Grill, and let me tell you- the dance floor was never empty. He kept our guests dancing all night long, playing a great mix of oldies and dance music for my friends. Their online planning forms are also a great tool. The owner Dave is always responsive and was a huge help!

This company is great. They are easy to work with, flexible, and the online tools are great. My DJ Brian George was awesome. He got some of my family members up and dancing that I have never seen dance in my life. I will never forget the memories of my husband and grandmothers dancing on the dance floor. He did a great job pleasing a very diverse crowd of ages and ethnicities.

Thank you all so very much. You all made our night!

Matt Johnson is terrific DJ/MC! He got our wedding started and was able help keep the wedding flowing smoothly. The bridal party was also able to plugin their ipod into his system to play some Chinese pop songs. Black Tie also has a spiffy little website to do your wedding planning!

Black tie was easy to work with and fairly affordable. Bob was our DJ and he managed to play all of our requests and accommodate ours guests. The dance floor was full all night and we didn’t have to worry about anything.

I used Black Tie DJ (Russ Reiff was our actual DJ) because of a friend's wedding...we had a great time! The company itself didn't communicate our playlist to him (which is why it's only 4 out of 5 stars on responsiveness), but that was no big deal and easy enough to fix by a simple re-send. Russ was completely flexible and response through the entire process, working with both myself and my day-of coordinator to make sure we had the schedule, song list, and other details down. Even though Hurricand Irene was an uninvited guest to the wedding, he kept the crowd dancing and having a great time throughout. We were so glad to have him!

DJ did a great job; the dance floor was pretty much packed for 3 hours straight. The company gives you a lot of options for the type of personality you want, from a very involved emcee type to a low key non-intervention type. The DJ provided fit our requests exactly. I thought the pricing was very reasonable too.

We had DJ Eddy Bobby at our wedding on June 24th, 2011. He was great and kept the crowd going all night long. The online form is for the most part, user friendly and when I had questions I could call or email Dave Melton, who is very responsive to emails. We opted for 15 songs on our list and then we trusted the knowledge and experience of our DJ to feel the crowd out, and he did just that when playing the rest of the music. I requested 2 songs and Eddy Bobby got them on right away. Thanks for making our night a blast!!!

Brad of Black Tie DJs was the DJ for my Spring 2011 wedding. To be honest, the DJ wasn't a huge priority for us and we didn't give it much thought. We picked Black Tie because several of our other vendors assured us they were good and because their prices were much more reasonable than several other companies I talked to.

Brad and I had some SNAFUs in communication before the wedding and I take 95% of the responsiblity for that. I was a bit burnt out on wedding planning and taking the time to decide on a cake cutting song wasn't my priority. But Brad made sure he got the information he needed to make my husband and I happy. Then, to be honest, I handed him off to my coordinator - Graceful Weddings. Graceful Weddings and Brad really took the time to figure out what I wanted and make it happen.

Brad was great at our reception. I was really surprised by how many people - from 18 to 72 - were on the dance floor all night long. Brad responded to the crowd and it worked well. My husband later complained a bit that he would have liked more slow songs, more country songs. While I know that was his personal preference, I feel like Brad did what worked to keep the party going. Husband did ask Brad at one point to play a few more slow or country songs, and he did play a few.

I was happy with Black Tie DJs, particularly as it wasn't a budget priority for me. Brad was unfailingly polite and responsive. My guests had a great time. I liked that Black Tie let me pick what 'style' of DJ I wanted - Brad struck a good balance between being the MC and pressing 'play' - none of that cheesy morning DJ stuff.

We met these guys at a wedding show and immediately clicked with personalities and their prices were great. Although they have the equipment to do it, we were not interested in a lot of extra features like a light show, etc. We were just looking for someone who could keep the flow of the night going and play lots of great music and we made the right choice. After the traditional dances, he jumped right in to a fun dance song and they dance floor was packed for the next 3 hours straight!! A great mix of 80s and top hits. Our DJ was Greg. He arrived early and was ready to go. PS - we put every "group dance" song such as chicken dance, YMCA, etc on our DO NOT PLAY LIST and even if requested, he kept our wishes. :-)

My husband and I had very specific songs we wanted to hear at the wedding. In fact, we had the entire playlist for the entire night. When Black Tie DJs called me about my choices, they tried to talk me out of what I wanted. They wanted more freedom to play other music. This is my only complaint about Black Tie DJs. I didn't like having someone trying to talk me out of my choices. In the end, they did exactly what I wanted and the DJ I had on the night was fabulous! The music was great and everyone had a great time.

Black Tie's Russ Reiff DJ'd my wedding, and I was very pleased with his service. I think I was probably a fairly demanding bride, as I selected pretty much every single song I wanted played at the wedding. I set up playlists on my Rhapsody music streaming account for pre-ceremony, ceremony, post-ceremony, cocktail/dinner, and dance music, and I probably had 10 total hours of music. Russ had no problem assimilating my playlists onto his equipment and was pleasant and accommodating when I had changes, although I tried to keep it to a minimum. He showed up at the wedding on time and dressed in a tux with high-quality, functioning equipment with backups in case of malfunction, and he gave me pretty much exactly what I asked for. All the songs played were from my playlists, he played them in a pleasing order, he provided wireless microphones/boom mikes/lavalier mikes for the toasts/readers/officiant, and he did announcements for all the events I had given him for the evening with a good speaking voice in a professional, low-key manner. I had several compliments on the music and don't really have much cause for complaint with Russ. The only possible improvements that could have been made are: (a) I gave all my vendors a timeline for the evening to keep us on schedule, and we did get behind schedule a little bit; Russ notified me that we were late, but I had really wanted him to help keep us on time as master of ceremonies without me having to be involved watching the clock since I was so busy. However, it wasn't a real problem; in the end, everything got done that needed to be done and in decent time. However, if I could do it again, I would have told Russ that I wanted him to make sure the schedule was kept without me having to worry about it myself. (b) Sometimes it took several days for Russ to answer e-mails, but in the week leading up to my wedding, he was very responsive.

So all in all, I had a very good experience with Black Tie, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Russ; he did a bang-up job and gave me exactly what I asked for at a decent price ($1200).

We LOVED Black Tie! From the first time we met with them until the end of our wedding we were nothing but happy! They answered all our questions, kept in contact with friendly emails and followed through with all of their promises. Our friends and family raved about how amazing our band was. We wanted to party and they did a great job making sure that happened. We would highly recommend them for weddings =)

We had Carl Nubile. He was excellent! He really rolled with the punches as it were. I forgot my garter and he was funny about the delay and kept things lively. He was willing to change some of the music too when I wanted a certain artist. It was excellent! He was also very personable.

Denny of Black Tie DJs did a perfect job of setting the tone for our celebration. Black Tie did a good job of interviewing my groom and me to find the right person for our party: Denny. He did an excellent job of choosing songs based on the music genres we told him we liked (we didn't give him many specific songs to play). He also did an excellent job as Master of Ceremonies. We didn't want the DJ to be a big personality at our party, but we needed someone to keep the event moving and Denny struck just the right balance.

We hired Black Tie DJ's after we met them at a Bridal Showcase. All the guys we met were fun, energetic and just really seemed to enjoy what they were doing.

Matt Johnson was our DJ for our reception. He was high energy, VERY nice and personable and just kept the party going which is exactly what we were looking for. He did a great job at selecting the music based on what we told him we were looking for. Everyone had a wonderful time!

Great DJ. Carl was wonderful at having suggestions for planning and was great at controlling the flow of the evening. We didn't have a wedding planner, so Carl did a great job keeping things going smoothly amid the crazy day. Everyone had a great time and the great music was a big part of that.

We had DJ Russ Reiff. His voice was great, he was professional and he really kept us on time. He was willing to add things and even change plans when stuff came up at the reception. My husband and I felt everything went off without a hitch. He really respected and gave us what we asked for.

The DJ was impeccable in his delivery, extremely responsive and kept the evening festivities in sync.

Carl from Black Tie DJs was great. We spoke on the phone before the wedding, and he provided many suggestions, and helped me figure out the timeline of events. They have a planning tool online, which I found very helpful in helping me pick songs, giving them the timeline of the night, etc. Everyone was on the dancefloor dancing, and they had a great time! The song I chose for the first dance, he didn't have, but he somehow found the song for me! I didn't realize how busy I would be the night of my wedding, just running around and greeting people who had traveled so far to be there, and Carl was great about coming up to me and letting me know that we were running behind schedule, and that we needed to do the father daughter dance now, the cake cutting now, etc. I'm glad he was there to tell me when to do certain 'events' of the night. One of the groomsmen and another friend decided to surprised us with doing a dance off. They went up to Carl at some point in the night and talked to him, and Carl announced them, and let them do the danceoff. It was hilarious. We had a medical emergency that required one of our guests to go to the hospital, so that put a pause on the evening for a little bit.. The venue (Belmont Country Club) graciously let us stay an extra hour, to make up for the lost time, and Carl stayed as well. I don't think we got charged overtime for this (if we did, I haven't seen the bill!). Black Tie Djs was great to work with, and I would recommend them. My only complaint would be, that they are not very responsive with email (my preferred communication method), and seemed to prefer the phone. When Carl called me, it would be from a blocked number, so I didn't answer his calls at first.. So it was a bit of phone tag in the beginning, but overall, it all worked out.

We were able to experience this DJ company at my cousin's wedding, and were really impressed with the professionalism and responsiveness of the DJ. At the time I was having a hard time finding a DJ that would suit our wedding well. When I emailed them for a quote, just a few minutes later I got a call asking about my DJ needs. They knew just what I was looking for and were able to find a DJ that would best suit our wedding. Communication was great, payment was easy, and for the quality of service that we received, it was a good value. Our DJ was spot on with the vibe of our guests and kept the dance floor packed all night long. We are so pleased with every aspect of Black Tie DJ's services.

Carl was our DJ and he was fantastic- he played great music, moved our night along and was a great MC. He was so good that friends of ours that got married last year used him as well. Two big thumbs up for Carl and Black Tie DJs! Cheap, too!

DJ Carl was great! He knew our style and applied that to our wedding. We were somewhat short on time at the reception in terms of the events we had planned, but DJ Carl was able to transition each event smoothly without them seeming rushed. We were very pleased overall and our guests told us how much they really liked our DJ.

We used Black Tie DJs specifically because of the reviews the company received on WeddingWire. We had originally chosen a DJ that a friend recommended and used at her wedding but that DJ ended up getting double-booked so we came to WeddingWire to look for another one. We are so glad we did! Not only was Black Tie DJs $300 cheaper than our original DJ, but they are very flexible. You fill out a form online to tell them how involved you want them to be in the wedding.

Brad our DJ was great. He was dressed professionally (in a suit) and he knew how to work the crowd. One of my bridesmaids even commented how the dance floor stayed crowded the entire evening. And it wasn't just one age group out on the dance floor - he played music that seemed to appeal to everyone.

We have already recommended Black Tie DJs to a co-worker getting married this fall and will continue to recommend them to others looking for a DJ.

They were really good.

I was very pleased with Black Tie DJ. They were relatively inexpensive and match you up with a DJ that fits your criteria. All in all it was a good experience and the music selection was quite extensive!

We had a good experience with Jim McHugh from Black Tie DJs. First of all, they offered a great value. Secondly, Jim was extremely professional. He rolled with the flow, and always checked with us when it was time to move things along and to make sure we were happy. He played just about all our requested songs. There were some slip-ups but mostly we were pleased.

We had good and bad experiences with this DJ. Towards the date of our wedding we were tight on our budget and were thinking of opting out of our contract with the DJ, we had difficulty trying to reason with them to get some of our deposit back so then we finally decided to stay with them. They were professional on the wedding date but since it was a younger crown we were a little worried about the quality of hip music theyd play. But all in all, it was a successful night so I would still reccommend them to others.

Black Tie DJs are adequate for the price, but I was not entirely satisfied with their service. The initial contracting and planning process is quite efficient - all of it can be done easily via phone, fax, and email, and the online music selection and event planning tools they provide are user-friendly, offer a wide range of musical options, and are very convenient. However, I was rather disappointed with the service provided by the DJ assigned to our event. He did not contact me until a few days prior to our wedding, and on our wedding day, there were a number of glitches with the music. The DJ arrived only 30 minutes prior to the beginning of the reception to start setting up, the recording he used for our first dance song was of poor quality and audibly scratched/skipped throughout our first dance, he got my husband's first name wrong during one of the announcements over the microphone, and he forgot to play the song that I had previously requested for our last dance. He was flexible in accommodating our request to extend the music by a half hour at the end of the reception, however.

DC Photobooth worked with Black Tie DJs in April, with Andrew the DJ. The music was fantastic, Andrew did a great job of handling requests while still doing his thing - and the uplighting created an awesome mood. I definitely recommend them!!

Black Tie DJs has an excellent reputation in the area, and I would enjoy working with them any time I am asked!

Working many events with this group of professionals thru the years they always get the crowd moving for fantastic images.

One of our favorite DJ companies they always make sure the party is running smoothly and they play awesome music and help each bride make sure all the events happen at the right time.

Black Tie DJ's, for a great sound and fun time!

Dave and his team at Black Tie made planning my client's event a breeze. From their diligent responsiveness, to their website which made it so easy to plan the music needs. Additionally, the DJ (Carl) was flexible with some last minute song changes and setup adjustments, which was great. Thank you!

Great group of DJ's I never have to worry when they are at my events. They get the crowd up and moving and follow the schedule.

In an area inundated with choices for DJ's, we've found Black Tie to be a superb choice for every wedding we've photographed with them.

Great collection of DJ's and wonderful to work with.
