Black Tie DJs

Wyatt was outstanding. Great communication ahead of the event so that we would run into no hiccups during the reception. He was very professional and made sure that all the music selection and MC duties went off without a hitch. Would highly recommend to anyone.

THey had our guests dancing all night! It was perfect

I had DJ Matt Johnson for my wedding at Westfields Marriott. He did a great job and played great array of music. He played most of my songs I requested and was very good about when to get the crowd going, and when to keep quiet. A great balance and I was happy with the music he played and the fact I heard most of the what I had on my playlists. Listen to his recommendation when it comes to seating plan.

Black Tie DJ's, and especially our assigned DJ, Wyatt Hill, made my whole event run so smoothly. We did not have a wedding/day of coordinator, which in retrospect I would probably spring for, but it didn't matter too much because Wyatt did a fantastic job of wrangling our guests and stepping into that role. He played a great variety of music for our guests and people commented on how great the selection was. He was also great about getting obscure songs for our special dances, and taking guest requests. When we showed up 30 minutes late to our reception and then on top of that had forgotten something in the limo, which we then had to wait on to double back, he was fine with handling that too, and re-worked our plan for the event so that nothing was missing. He also was willing to work with us for unplanned toasts, which had not been part of our schedule originally and we decided the night before to include (but didn't tell him).
I didn't even notice that we were behind schedule because Wyatt just handled it so well and professionally. Really outstanding and on top of that a really nice guy. We Skyped about a month before to plan out the event and then he gave a follow up phone call 5 days before so that we could discuss any changes (and there were quite a few!). Wyatt always made it clear that he wanted my event to be as perfect as possible and was really willing to do whatever I wanted him to do.
They were a good value for the money and I'd highly recommend them for a wedding or any other...

Our DJ was Eddy Bobby and his assistant was Wyatt. I was so impressed with their services at my wedding. They provided music for my ceremony, cocktail hour and reception as well as organized and announced the flow of events throughout the evening. Eddy took on two jobs that night – DJ and wedding planner and he executed both flawlessly. Everything went so smoothly and they did such a good job with playing all our must play songs as well as keeping everyone dancing the whole night! Me and my fiancé both have difficult last names that are often said incorrectly but Eddy said both perfectly which made us both and our families very happy. Black Tie is super easy to contact and Dave is very responsive, often getting back to me within minutes of me emailing him. I would absolutely use Eddy and Black Tie again and will recommend them to future brides!

I had a blast with my DJ, Eddy Bobby. Coordinating everything ahead of time was stress free and easy. The emails were prompt and professional. Their website is very user friendly. I felt Eddy Bobby did a fantastic job at the wedding, even helping when I wasn't sure when to do certain things. He made sure everything stayed on track and played off of my crowd, getting everyone to dance. He respected my "do not play list" and even found my mom when a group of guests requested a song that was a little of the style we did not wish to play (Mom said sure and it was not a big deal). The DJ and the assistant were dressed professional as well. I would recommend them to anyone.

Eddy Bobby was also there to help my brother (my officiant) get miked up for the ceremony and we had no issues with hearing him with an outside wedding.

My DJ, Wyatt Hill, did a great job listening to me and my fiance on the types of music we were looking for, and followed through. We had two phone consultations prior to the wedding. He is very customer service oriented, and was professional during the reception. The music got people up and dancing, up until 11:00 p.m.!
I deducted one star because he asked to bring another DJ along with him for the event, which was fine, but near the end of the night the other DJ was sitting on a couch relaxing, and someone came up to me asking who he was, as if he was a guest. It just seemed a bit unprofessional.

Black Tie Djs overall did a great job at our wedding reception. They didn't blare the music too loud, and played pretty much everything we had requested. Our DJ, Eddy, didn't take over the reception and talk the entire time. The cost was very reasonable and their online planning forms helped me to think ahead of time about reception details.

Our only major complaint is that Eddy played the wrong song for our entrance. We had asked for the theme from Top Gun, but he played "Danger Zone". We had gone over this detail in our Skype session the week before, but he had not seemed prepared for the session. A couple of other suggestions I had made during the Skype session (but did not put into writing) were not followed, either.

We received a feedback form immediately after the wedding, and we filled it out. The owner apologized for the mistake on our entrance song and asked for some additional feedback to help remedy this for future clients. I appreciated the owner communicating and getting additional feedback from us in a timely manner. I would hire them again, but maybe run through things with my DJ right before the event.

We had a great experience with Black Tie DJs! Dave Melton helped with the start up processes and was very knowledgeable about weddings and getting the logistics started. He was also very responsive to emails and phone calls.

Bob Artman was our DJ for the wedding and reception. We LOVED Bob...I even took a picture with him at the reception. He played the right music for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and for the reception. He kept the dance party going. There was never a time when people left the dance floor like at other weddings when the "wrong" song gets played. He worked with me the entire night because we were off schedule and communicated with me when things needed to be adjusted.

It was great working with Bob and Black Tie DJs!

THANK YOU!

I met Black Tie DJs at a bridal show! I visited their website and requested a quote! After receiving the quote I met with the owner, Dave, at my venue to go over their services. After meeting with Dave, I knew they were the company for me! I felt very comfortable working with them. They always answered my calls and emails promptly. Bob Artman, was my recommended DJ base on what type of DJ I was looking for. He was very easy to work with and very professional and focused! I had him select the music for the reception and he did a great job! You can select exactly what you want the whole night or you don't have to pick anything and let the DJ do the work. I let Bob feel out the crowd to make sure we played something for everyone! He even took request from my guests! He even was able to make a last minute change to the music for ceremony, right before the ceremony started. If you are looking for someone to help energize the crowd and get the party going, Bob is your guy! He even coordinated with my photographer. Letting him know when the cake cutting, bouquet toss and garter toss was going to happen so he would be ready for the perfect shots! I would recommend Black Tie DJs!

We were so happy with Carl from Black Tie DJs, who worked at our daughter's wedding. He was so much fun and did an outstanding, professional job. He made sure the guests had a great time while keeping everything running smoothly. Fantastic!

Had a fantastic experience with DJ Eddy Bobby and his assistant, Wyatt. Planning my Washington, DC wedding from afar was pretty stressful, but Eddy and my initial point of contact at Black Tie, Dave, were so wonderful and on top of their game. They were able to answer and provide helpful feedback regarding all of my DJ-related questions. Eddy and Wyatt were able to successfully keep the party going during the reception. We had so many guests tell us after the reception how much fun they had on the dance floor. That's definitely a success in my book!

We had a fantastic experience with Black Tie DJs. Our DJ was Brad and he did a great job. He had everyone dancing through our whole reception. He also really stepped up to help us coordinate our event the day of when our "coordinator" was dropping the ball. We would definitely use them again!

Our DJ, Eddy Bobby, was excellent! He was very easy to communicate with and you could tell he really cared about working with us to make sure we were happy and felt at ease. Our venue was a little different in that the dinner and dancing were held in two separate rooms, but it worked out perfectly thanks to Eddy Bobby. We gave him a list of songs that we wanted played, and he stuck to it (give or take a song or two). We wanted a very high-energy dance floor with lots of fast songs, and he delivered! We were very happy!

We LOVED our dj. He was fun and listened to what we wanted and went out of his way to accomadate us!!

Black Tie DJs was wonderful. They were quick to provide a quote, called to make sure I didn't have any questions about the process, and responded quickly to my questions as the wedding drew near. We had DJ Matt and he was excellent! The wedding flowed well and everyone was dancing and having a great time. We also attended another wedding where he was the DJ and he was great there as well. Both the company and DJ Matt were extremely knowledgable about the process and offered us their professional advice to make sure our wedding was the best it could be. I would highly recommend using Black Tie DJs for your wedding!

Black Tie DJs MADE my wedding. Brad McCormick did EXACTLY what we wanted, and kept everyone dancing all night. At one point, I looked around and saw my 80 year old grandparents boogying down- that hasn't happened in 20 years!

Dave answered all of our questions from the very beginning, and made it an easy decision to choose them. I was so happy with the way Brad organized everything and helped everything run smoothly (even after our wedding coordinator disappeared- he rocked it out).

DJs were the hardest thing to pick for us, because it's not like you can look online for clips of their work. However, we felt comfortable with Dave and Brad right away, and were so happy with the results....

We were very impressed by the professionalism and level of personal service we received from Black Tie DJs. Our DJ was Eddy Bobby and he was OUTSTANDING. He kept a great ambiance for dinner, emceed flawlessly, got the dancing started and kept the party going! Our guests ranged in age from 5 months to 93 years and they all had fun! The Black Tie DJ online planning tools are simple to use and extremely helpful in planning your event. Hire them, you won't be disappointed!!!

We were very pleased with Brad McCormick from Black Tie DJs. We had two Skype/phone calls with him before the wedding to work out details. He was responsive to our desires and offered up his own ideas as well. He was familiar with our venue and knew what was necessary for setup. The night of the wedding, he played the correct songs for specific parts of the ceremony. He kept the dance floor packed from beginning to end during the reception. He also was great with coordinating with our day-of coordinator for wedding events such as the Introductions, Cake Cutting, and Special Dances.

Dealing with Black Tie DJs itself in regards to payments was a breeze. I recommend this vendor to anyone and try to get Brad!

We decided to go with Black Tie DJ's after we found that many other DJ companies were just store fronts that sold out independent contractor DJ's. We weren't willing to take the chance that the DJ they gave us would be a dud. The great thing about Black Tie DJ's is that the owner only hires DJ's with years of experience at LARGE events. He does not hire people that have only worked at a few backyard parties. I was happy talking with the owner on the phone, and he was more than happy to fully explain not only the DJ part of our wedding, but also offer some tips for the flow of the ceremony and reception. All of his advice was much appreciated and we were happy that he was not hustling us or upselling us. Every time I called, I was able to speak with the owner directly, or at the most, wait 10 or so minutes for a call back. Once the owner matched us with a DJ that understood both my background (plain guy from MD) and my bride (exotic gorgeous salsa merengue dancing queen from Central America) and the music we liked/disliked, we were then able to directly call and e-mail our DJ with any questions or last minute changes (we had plenty, and Eddy Bobby was always ok with us changing our minds about details). Eddy was professionally dressed in a tux for our reception (we had live jazz band at reception) and he also had a great last minute idea of where to re-locate the DJ table to best accommodate the guests table/chair positions and the entry/egress through the doors. He also had a nice white fabric overlay to cover the tripod legs of his speakers, which made them really blend with our elegant theme. The sound output was great and we had people up and dancing. We also had Eddy announce a raffle two times during the reception for gift cards, which he was happy to do. Overall, considering the competitive price, prompt responsiveness to calls/e-mails, ease of payment thru their website, and professionalism, we would highly recommend Black Tie DJ's for anyone's wedding event.

Black Tie DJ's was fantastic. Our DJ Russ was exactly what we wanted - understated, but just involved enough with announcements and introductions. He met with us several weeks before our wedding to get a feel for our musical tastes and anticipated wedding guest demographic. He did a beautiful job keeping things on track with our general evening timeline. He was also a great resource in helping us to pick our special dance songs! All in all, the music was fantastic - 60's - 80's, and our wedding crowd loved it. We highly recommend Black Tie DJ's (and Russ).

Black Tie DJ's were great and easy to work with. When we had our initial call they made sure they knew everything of what we wanted from our DJ. They work with an online form to fill out that was a blessing because it let us put all the details we wanted and also let us specify which songs we wanted played and not played. From here we were put with Brad McCormick for our DJ. He was great to work with and was very responsive every time we had a question. He also even worked with my dad when my dad wanted to play a surprise song for our Father/Daughter dance. At the wedding Brad did everything we wanted him to do, from the ceremony music to announcing the names correctly (this was great because my name is hard!), to helping with the bouquet and garter toss! He was a pleasure to work with and Black Tie DJs was very professional and really easy to work with.

My experience with Black Tie DJs and all their staff was wonderful. I dealt with Dave and my DJ was Matt Johnson. They were both easy to talk to and always available to assist with any of my questions. I wanted to confirm my DJ before booking and Dave worked quickly to make this happen. They offered suggestions to our timeline without being pushy. They provided song options when I was having trouble finding the right version of Here Comes the Bride.

Our DJ was Matt Johnson who did an amazing job. The dance floor was constantly full and everyone had a wonderful time. The groom and I specified our expected 'level of DJ involvement' and Matt stuck with that agreement perfectly. He also helped with our timeline. Matt and Dave kept in touch to make sure I didn't have questions. I didn't have to think about checking in with them when the wedding date got closer.

We had an outdoor wedding and they set up the speakers and the sound table to be close enough to make accurate and timely music changes. They had a microphone for the officiant that was clear and I believe loud enough for all to hear (no one mentioned otherwise) and w/o issue. During the rehearsal our officiant told us the bridal party would not hear the music changes for where we were. On the day of the music was loud and clear enough to be heard by the bridal party to know their entrance (without being obnoxiously loud as well).

I would not change a thing about their service. I was impressed with their professionalism and all the services provided. They even allowed my dad to plug in an audio recorder to record the ceremony.

I highly recommend Black Tie DJs and Dave and Matt!

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.

My husband and I could not be happier with the service we received from Black Tie DJs! The DJ for our reception was Matt Johnson. He was by far the best person we could have hired to play at our wedding. Our guests had such a great time partying with Matt - most of them even stayed at the reception, long after my husband and I left, to dance the night away. Our friends and family still talk about how great of a DJ he was and how much fun they had at our reception. If you need a DJ - call Black Tie DJs!! It's the best decision that you can make!!

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.

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!

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 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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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 :)

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!

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 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!

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!!!

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.

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!

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!

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 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 cannot say enough great things about Black Tie DJ's. They were absolutely my favorite vendor to work with.

Dave Melton was the first person I talked to. He was responsive and flexible. I would recommend to any bride to talk openly about him with your budget and your goals. His customer service skills are very high and he seems very sincere. He will work to make you as happy as he can within your budget.

We were assigned Matt Johnson as our DJ. Matt took the time to meet with me and discuss what I wanted for the wedding. He played some of my favorite songs, some of the parent's favorite songs. Guests raved about him, during the wedding, at the breakfast the next morning, and for weeks afterward.

One of my girlfriends just got married last year and the first thing she asked me for after her engagement was for Matt's contact info.

He is attentive, very professional, and a real artist. He talks to you and understands what's important to you, and creates a perfect atmosphere for your wedding.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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

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. :-)

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!!

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.

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.

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 :)

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!

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.

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 =)

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Very innovative

Very talented staff !!

Each wedding that has experience Black Tie DJs has been satisfied and unique. They work with each couple to make their wedding special and incorporate their style.

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.
