DJ D-Mac & Associates

DJ D-Mac, aka Daryle Maciocha, was a terrific DJ. He has spun in DC venues such as Bourbon, Marvin and 18th Street Lounge. He made himself very available in the months leading up to our wedding – we met with him twice. He then played a fantastic lineup of songs! We also had Daryle handle all the sound for the ceremony. He showed up early and set up the speakers and mics, all of which worked perfectly. The nice thing is that he charged a flat rate for the entire day, which included all set-up and take-down. We did have to pay a little extra for the lapel mic for the officiant – still worth it!

My fiance, AJ, and I originally contracted another DJ at a less expensive price, but then had the fortunate experience of seeing him at another wedding where he was awful! We immediately called DMac in hopes it was not too late to book him! Although he was booked for our date, his associate DJ, Atticus, handled my wedding on Dec. 3 after all. The value was certainly worth a few hundred bucks!He was amazing!!!!! I am Cuban, my husband Afghani and we have mainly American friends - what a mix! Atticus took this all in stride and provided a wonderful mix of a little of everything - he kept the dancefloor packed from the first song! I am still hearing rave reviews from friends and relatives!

Daryle was awesome! He had everyone on the dance floor all night! We had numerous guests tell us what an incredible DJ he was!

Daryle and Dylan did an amazing job at our wedding. Finding good music and photography are probably the two most important things to do when you plan your wedding. If you don't have good music, DJ or Band, folks aren't going to stick around. And one of my biggest fears in the whole wedding process was that our guests would not dance and that it would just be my husband and I up there trying to get the crowd going. (Not an ideal scenario for two shy people).Well I didn't need to worry. Daryle knew exactly what song to play after the father daughter dance and I don't think I left the dance floor the entire night. I had so much fun I didn't even get a bigger slice of my cake. After the wedding everyone from my friends to my parents friends raved about what a fun time they had. I do think that Daryle and Dylan had a challenging crowd to work with. Although we were a fun group, our crowd was not uniform at all. My husband and I are 10 years apart so we had a lot of age diversity at the wedding. We also had culture diversity in that most of my family is from Latin America and his family is from the Washington area. So thinking about music that everyone would dance to was a challenge and Daryle and Dylan figured out that music sweet spot. My husband's sister and his cousin both proclaimed that our wedding was the best wedding they'd ever been to and I know a HUGE part of that was Daryl and Dylan's work. One of my closest friends said she woke up the next morning unable to walk because she'd danced so much. I could go on, but trust me when I say this is the DJ you want to go with. He not only understands music and waht keeps people moving, but he is also a total professional. I remember at one point of the night looking over at him and he was totally in the zone working his magic, fending off crazy music requests and making sure he delivered on the job he came there to do.

The throw-down dance till you drop party that Jacob (DJ Deep Sang) brought to our wedding reception makes me embarrassed that I ever considered using my ipod to provide the tunes at the reception. This was hands down the best money we spent for our wedding reception. Friends and family (of all ages!) compliment us on what great music we had.Jacob was extremely professional and helpful for us as casual music fans. We provided him with a list of songs we liked, and some songs we didn't like, and he turned that into a great playlist for the night that kept people on the dance floor until the venue had to kick us out. He had his whole system set up over an hour before the event began. He brought a second system to pump music into a side room during cocktail hour to ensure a seamless musical background for the evening. There are always a few things that go wrong during a wedding and things that keep the bride up the nights leading up to the big day - I can honestly say that Jacob and Daryle put my mind at ease throughout the planning process and on the day of the music never skipped a beat. Definitely hire Jacob as your wedding DJ!

We were so happy to have DJ D-Mac provide music at our wedding reception - I can't tell you how many people told us afterward and via email how much they loved the tunes and the dancing and what a cool DJ we had. I highly recommend D-Mac and his team for your event - they are professional, have cool technology and most of all, , great taste in music. Plus we had a small venue and he handled the volume really well, which was great. I'd gladly hire him again - he'll keep your party on point.

DJ Mac & Associates hooked us up with DJ Atticus for our wedding. He truly made the wedding a night to remember! Mainly because he wasn't your typical wedding DJ. He was extremely professional without the cheesy wedding DJ persona. I recommend giving him a list of songs that you want to hear and then let him take over and do his thing. He had the dancefloor packed the entire night.

DJ D-Mac is the best wedding DJ in DC. It's not even a contest. Hiring his team will be the best wedding decision you will make. Usually DJs as hip as him are too cool for the wedding circuit, but Daryle does all us music lovers a great service by offering his talents for hire. He takes the time to meet with you, figure out what music you love, and mixes it all together for an amazing event. Soul, hip-hop, indie, 80s, he can do it all--and with real records and mixing for a top-notch show. It's a pleasure working with him and he'll put your anxious bride at ease. Daryle even took the time to set up a microphone for a friend who played a song on acoustic guitar during our ceremony, which was above and beyond the call of duty. Guest will dance for the entire wedding, they will email you for days after raving about the music, and their only complaint will be that there was no time to rest because the music was so good. Daryle was worth every penny, and even after the wedding, I look forward to catching him at places around town like Marvin and Dodge City in the future!

Planning a wedding can be stressful, but knowing that we had hired DJ D-Mac for our wedding, we knew that music was one thing we did not have to worry about. One of our biggest fears was having a “cheesy” DJ but after our first meeting with him, we knew we were in good hands and that he was going to be perfect for our wedding. We gave him an idea of what we wanted and didn’t want, and we also threw in the challenge of asking him to mix in some traditional Serbian music as well. We completely trusted that he would do an amazing job, and therefore we were able to focus on other aspects of planning. Two days before the wedding we spoke with him again and he was full of great ideas and suggestions (editing down our first dance song, setting up sound for the readings during the ceremony, hooking up the officiant with a wireless mic, music suggestions for our cocktail hour – all things we totally forgot to think about). We felt completely confident that everything would go smoothly and it did! He played virtually everything we requested and he made very cool blends from the American music into the Serbian music. The dance floor was packed ALL NIGHT LONG! Everyone was having such a great time, we asked if he would stay longer, and he graciously agreed to do so – even on a Monday night!! Daryle is unique with his style and equipment. He is insightful, professional and just an overall pleasure to work with. We really couldn’t have been more pleased. He was a big part of making our wedding absolutely perfect! I would hire him again and recommend him to anyone, without question

DJ Atticus was our ideal wedding DJ. We were shuddering at the thought of the standard cheeseball wedding DJ's. We also planned our wedding remotely, so needed a vendor who could work relatively independently. Atticus was the man for this.We shared our playlist with him via Google Docs and put him in touch with our venue contact. Since this was the first time he had played in the venue, he setup a time to visit the venue and coordinate equipment needs. About two weeks before the actual wedding, we sent the final schedule, songlist and emcee needs (introducing the toasts, first dance, cake-cutting). And when the day came, everything went without a hitch. He showed up well in advance to setup equipment and kicked off on-time for cocktail hour. He smoothly led things through the toasts, first and cake-cutting, despite us running 30 - 45 minutes late. Lastly, he put on a great set, starting off with our song selections, but slightly customizing things (with good taste) to get more people onto the dance floor. We received great comments from our friends, who had a fantastic time, a few of whom were incredibly impressed that he was mixing on the fly during the process. All in all, we'd pick him again if we were to have to do this all over again.

DJ D-Mac did a great job at our wedding! He helped with everything from keeping the dance floor packed to editing the first dance song to pointing the groom in the right direction to make a toast. Great guy who did a wonderful job on our important day.

We LOVED DJ D-Mac. Daryle, Dylan and team were so professional, thoughtful to detail - and their tunes were one of the top two items (after my mom's toast!) that brought in compliments from our guests. If you want guests out on the dance floor, hire him! In the lead up to the party, I dropped the ball and forgot to send our "don't play list" - he followed up via email to make sure he had the right information for the big day. Most importantly, in the flurry our of departure from the reception, we left behind our marriage license by accident! DJ-D Mac saved the day - texted me the next day to let me know that the venue had given him the license and he sent it to my office priority mail to make sure we got it. You are in great hands with DJ D-Mac, we couldn't be happier.

We are so happy DJ D-Mac introduced us to his associate, Rusty B. From our first conversation to our reception, we knew we were in good hands. Rusty is full of superb ideas, very personable, professional, and has access to an incredible breadth of music. My husband and I have some esoteric preferences, and Rusty delivered! We appreciated his willingness to work with us to develop cocktail hour, dinner, and dance music that ranged from tiki lounge to Dexys Midnight Runners. We had a small wedding, but the dance floor was packed. In fact, one of my favorite moments of the entire wedding day was looking up and seeing my great aunt grooving to "Billie Jean." Our reception was the same weekend Hurricane Irene was barreling towards the Mid-Atlantic, but one would have never known from the celebration inside. If you're looking for a DJ for your special event, we would recommend DJ D-Mac & Associates unequivocally. Thank you, Rusty!

The day that we met DJ D-MAC we knew that he was perfect for us. Darlye was able to take our eclectic taste in music and make it work. We had a Cure song as the processional, Depeche Mode as the Mrs. Mr. entrance and a mix through out the night. I don't know how, but Darlye put it all together in a way that everyone loved. People were rocking out on the dance floor all night long. We are still getting compliments for the great music.we HIGHLY recommend DJ D-MAC!Thanks Darlye!

DJ D-Mac was awesome. He got the party started from the very beginning. The dance floor was packed all night. We kept thinking we would take a break from dancing, but we couldn't stop. He was really responsive to our requests and delivered on the experience that we envisioned for our guests. It was so much fun that we're trying to think of another reason to hire DJ D-Mac. We strongly recommend him for your wedding.

After getting to know us a little, our planners, Ritzy Bee, recommended that my husband and I consider calling Daryle about being our DJ. They could not have recommended anyone better! My husband and I are both music nerds in very different ways and Daryle incorporated my husband's punk tastes and my indie tastes with oldies and current songs and made sure the dance floor was packed all night! Everyone loved the music and at times it seemed Daryle was reading my mind with some of the songs he played. If we could, I would hire him again and again. My husband and I will definitely be checking him out when he spins around town. Music is very important to both of us and Daryle really made it a night we will always remember!

DJ D-Mac was superb at our wedding. Many guests came up to us during and after the wedding saying they were very impressed and everyone had a great time dancing. I gave him very little direction and he managed to read our crowd very well and play music that people loved. I love his vintage looking setup and laid back style. We highly recommend DJ D-Mac.

AMAZING. That is all we have to say. We had people on the dance floor all night long and he made the party. He plays a great mix to your liking but also reads the crowd incredibly well and transitioned perfectly well when I made some very last minute changes (I'm talking about while we were dancing!). This is not a cheesy wedding DJ pressing buttons. People have been raving ever since about how amazing our DJ was and several guests got his card that night! My friend had one complaint--because DJDMAC did not play one bad song, it was difficult for her to leave the dance floor and she was sweating her tail off! If you have already made the DJ/Band decision and you are going to hire a DJ, hire DJDMAC with no question. If you are deciding between a band or a DJ, becuase of how amazing DJDMAC is, I'd say go with him over a band in a heartbeat. You'll save a ton of money, you'll have an incredible party, and you'll never think twice about your decision. One of the very best decisions we made.

DJ D-Mac was the perfect DJ and Emcee for our June wedding at Woodend Sanctuary in Chevy Chase, MD. From the onset, Daryle was extremely helpful and easy to work with, asking all the right questions and pointing us in the right direction with regards to equipment and music selection. Just before the wedding he recognized that the father-daughter song was too long, so he impressively cut the song from 6 minutes to under 3 minutes.As an Emcee, Daryle effectively steers the direction and flow of the wedding without being overpowering -- he is not the type of Emcee who makes the wedding all about himself, as has been the case at other weddings I have attended and something I worried about when choosing a DJ. Instead, he lets the bride and groom and family members and the bridal party be the stars of the day and ensures that everything runs smoothly and on time.As a DJ, Daryle was exceptional. He played virtually everything we has requested and then built a playlist based on our tastes. He played the perfect mix of dance songs-- perfect for both young and old crowds-- and kept the dance party going until close. We have received many, many compliments on our choice of DJ and couldn't be happier with DJ D-Mac's services at our wedding. You can't go wrong with Daryle!

DJ D-Mac was unavailable for our date, so he recommended his associate DJ Rusty B. My husband and I had so much fun emailing back and forth with DJ Rusty about music choices, and he did a perfect job of blending our requests with other music that fits well with it. The dance floor was packed for hours, and we got so many compliments on the music I can't even count them. Thanks so much DJ Rusty!

Wow! Rusty was absolutely awesome and helped us make our reception a complete success. Our friends and family are still talking about how much fun they had at the reception and I think this is due to the music selection that Rusty played. We worked with Rusty in selecting some MUSTs and some NOs and he followed these as requested...I don't think there was a single song that we wanted that was not played and he was able to fill in the gaps with music that matched our requests. I'm already thinking what other big party I can have so that I can hire these guys again! I definitely recommend DJ D-Mac/Rusty and can tell you that it was money well spent!

Hiring Daryle as your DJ for your wedding is the best decision you can make when planning. Daryle was very responsive and easy to work with. Our biggest request was to make sure that everyone had a rocking time and he more than delivered. We're still hearing from our guests of how much Daryle absolutely blew them away. Admittedly, some of our song choices were less than traditional, but Daryle was up to the challenge. We had our hearts set on entering to one heavy metal song in particular, since it was a short guitar solo, we weren't sure if it was possible, but Daryle pulled through. If you're looking for a DJ that's an alternative to all cheesy, bow-tie DJs and that's guaranteed to get everyone out on the floor all night, than Daryle is definitely your man!

Daryle is DJ genius. Not only did he do an amazing job with all of the scheduling and shout outs that I requested, including some very last minute changes, he also kept the party on fire the entire night. Just when I thought it couldn't get more outstanding, his assistant whips out a cowbell, a tambourine and some maracas for the crowd! I did not realize that my reception needed a headbanging interlude to Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit," but luckily Daryle did. He stayed longer than we requested, and apparently got that ok'ed with the venue. My wedding was great and I enjoyed all of it, but of all the decisions I made about it, hiring Daryle was the best one. Daryle, I think my sister stole your maracas. Please let me know if you need them back :-)

Daryle was the best wedding DJ my wife and I could have hoped for. We had a few meetings to discuss the tone and feel of who were are and what we were looking for. He easily integrated songs that we were dying to hear with his own choices and had our crowd whipped into a frenzy in no time. If the venue hadn't had to close early I believe we could have danced all night long. I cannot recommend him enough.

DJ D-Mac is seriously the best DJ EVER! We were talking about the music for days after the reception. He seamlessly mixes genres and gets people who "don't dance" to shake it, while appealing to the ballroom dancers in the crowd. It was so hard to leave the floor because every song was so good. We had such a blast and hope to hear him spinning again soon!!

People are still talking about Daryles set at our wedding weeks later. Highly recommended, professional and will adapt to your music tastes. Thanks again!

I cannot even convey in words how insanely amazing DJ D-Mac is. The guy knows what he's doing. We were REALLY last minute lining up a DJ, but luckily DJ D-Mac was available for our Friday wedding. He had everyone on the dance floor... people who "never" dance at weddings were out there going nuts, young people, old people, kids, adults... no one wanted the wedding to end.I'm SO glad that we found Daryle. He was really detailed, but not demanding at all. Extremely professional, and ridiculously fun. I had so many people asking me who our DJ was and telling me it was the most fun wedding they had been to. That just wouldn't have happened if we plugged an iPod into speakers or even picked a run-of-the-mill DJ. I'm pretty sure that DJing is not something that just anyone can do. It's a skill. It takes a lot of intuition and the ability to read people and crowds. A definite art. And DJ D-Mac is... he's a god. I don't even know what else to say.Well, I will say one more thing. It has gone through my head several times since our wedding that I should somehow find out what other weddings he's doing, and go crash them. Not in a creepy way, just in a desire-to-have-the-time-of-my-life way. I highly, highly recommend his services. He'll probably even bring some maracas and a cowbell.

Daryle truly is the best DJ. He can read a crowd like I've neverseen; it's like magic the way he can fill a dance floor and keep itpacked for hours. Even in the potentially awkward time after the cocktail hour and before dinner, Daryle had the dance floor packed. We were allsweating by dinner -- just the way a dancing wedding should be! At one point I looked out to see that the tables were basically emptybecause all the guests were on the dance floor. Even my elderly auntwho usually never dances spent most of the night on the dancefloor. I've seen Daryle dj other events -- in clubs and weddings -- andhe was the one vendor I knew I couldn't do without. We spent a lot oftime going over the kind of music we wanted, and he gave us greatfeedback and advice. He was also very accommodating to my dad whowanted a lot of oldies and swing. At one point late in the evening,my dad begged for a little more swing and Daryle did this and thenmanaged to fill the dance floor with the younger crowd once again sothat the night could end on a high note. All around, he is a superb DJ! I highly recommend him. You will not be disappointed and you will hear compliments about him for months after the wedding is over . . .

DJ D-Mac did a phenomenal job at our wedding.Working with him in the run-up to our wedding, he was consistently professional and responsive, his years of experience in the business was obvious, and he brought to the table an attention to detail that you simply do not find elsewhere.He is a perfectionist in all the good ways. We were able to share both some specific song ideas as well as general ideas for genres and the tempo of the evening, and he worked with all of our input perfectly and made it very easy for us. He lives and breathes music, has an immense collection, and is very good at sketching out a great song lineup. If you use DJ D-Mac & Associates you must give them creative license to do what they do best -- this makes for a great evening and it also makes it much easier on you.During preparation, he was serious about the gear he uses and took the time to make sure that the setup at your reception will sound great and work well with the site itself.During the reception, he read the crowd very well and adjusted tempo and genres on the fly. We had a cocktail hour before the reception got going, and he still had the dance floor packed immediately, even well before dinner and before the heavy drinking set in. His introductions were great, classy, to the point, and totally free of cheesy DJ babble. As the evening picked up, he really seemed to get into it as well. He accommodated specific family music requests very well, and managed to keep the dance floor full of both college kids and grandparents until they kicked us out to go to the after party. His transitions are also buttery smooth and if he had to could blend Sinatra right into Michael Jackson. We heard compliments from everyone.Overall, he takes his work very seriously, he is meticulous, but also artful and creative, and he is a pleasure to work with.

We loved DJ Neville Chamberlain (Neal Becton)! Both he and DJ D-Mac were very easy to work with. Neal did a great job of mixing in our song suggestions, staying away from our Do Not Play songs, and keeping everyone on the dance floor all night long! I would definitely recommend both Neal and D-Mac to anyone.

Daryle, DJ D-Mac, is awesome!! Our guests danced the night away & raved about how great the music and our event was. We highly recommend Daryle as your DJ for any event & we hope to use him again in the future for any other upcoming events. Daryle is fabulous & super cool and easy to work with!

Daryle djed a friend's wedding and they insisted we see if he was available for our wedding. From the moment we reached out to Daryle to see if he was available to the wedding day, he was very responsive. Before we signed him we met in person to go over the types of music we liked and how we wanted the night to go - we instantly knew he was going to be perfect! On the wedding day, he got there early and got everything all set-up and perfect. He even brought a microphone for the officiant to use and for the toasts. I hadn't thought of that! For the reception he played a wide range of music that kept everyone on the dance floor. And I mean everyone, even our friends who tend to be wallflowers at weddings. I couldn't have been more pleased - everything was perfect. Our friends can't stop talking about how great the music was. I highly, highly recommend!

If you are looking for a DJ, I suggest you look no further.DJ D-Mac was responsive to all of our questions and concerns. He heard what we had to say and responded quickly and in a very professional manner. He was very flexible and offered his thoughts on what would and would not work. We ended up going with most of his suggestions. The result was music that not only felt very special and unique to our wedding but also got everyone dancing. And I mean everyone! The quality of service provided in relation to the cost of the event was second to none. DJ D-Mac is an incredible value for the cost.In addition, the set up and performance of DJ D-Mac was not only very professional but also uniquely cool with his own take on 'old school' spinning. The music never stopped and provided a continuous outlet for good times. DJ D-Mac was very articulate and engaging in his emcee duties. In summary, we could not have asked for more. DJ D-Mac was a big part in making our special day exactly what we wanted.

DJ D-Mac was awesome! He has great equipment (especially the super cool old style mic) was great to work with - just a great guy and a great DJ. At the end of the reception a spontaneous eruption from a packed dance floor chanted ENCORE - ENCORE until he relented and agreed to play another song. I can't tell you how many of our guests have told us that DJ D-Mac was the best DJ they'd ever heard at a wedding and they couldn't believe that we'd been able to get him. We can't recommend him highly enough.

Darryl did a wonderful job djing our wedding, and we got numerous compliments on how great he was. He played great dance music and stayed away from anything I consider cheesy!

DJ D-Mac is the best!! He knows music, knows how to get the guests onto the dance floor and plays a great mixture of songs. He made our wedding a better event for everyone. I strongly recommend him for your wedding or event.

D-Mac was fantastic. That dance floor was packed all night, with people of all ages tearing it up.He was very responsive and professional from start to finish and he made it feel like he was really spinning for us and our friends (as I guess a good DJ should)...He asks for a list of "must-plays" and instead I sent him a list of probably 30 to 40 songs that I said were some of our favorites so he could get a feeling for our taste in music. I did not in any way expect him to be able to play everything, since I figured a DJ has to play a selection of songs that flow together, not just what the couple likes.He did. I swear D-Mac found a way to weave together like 90 percent of the songs I had on that list. He's that great.

Daryle is absolutely amazing. Some brides want the perfect cake or extravagant flowers, but I knew very early on what I wanted was an epic dance party to celebrate my wedding and that is exactly what I got, thanks in HUGE part to the dj. He got EVERYONE on the floor, including my very straight-laced father who at one point in the night was the center of attention on the air guitar, and my 81-year-old grandmother, who was spotted getting down with one of the groomsmen. Daryle worked largely of a play list of songs I suggested, which he supplemented with some dance floor classics I had forgotten about- mostly stuff that was sure to appeal to a wider range of audiences than my taste in poppy indie rock. He did a great job of reading the crowd if something wasn't working, which is definitely part of what kept the vibe so great all night. All night long, the reactions to the music were, "oh my god, we have to get on the dance floor NOW," and never, "Oh no, this was way overplayed on the 1998 bar mitzvah circuit," which is I think what most people expected when I told them I was using a DJ not a band. He's definitely able to customize the the type of sound you want, whatever that may be, and probably with minimal direction. The man knows his way around good music. He also has a really nice looking set up that I think would blend well into just about any venue. We had an amazing time that night are still hearing from people about what a good time they had, and while weddings are usually tons of fun, I'm pretty certain Daryle was crucial to ours being such a blast. My dad even asked if I would make a CD for him of the songs so he could remember how much fun he had. This is coming from a guy who I don't think has had fun since 1980.I would definitely recommend DJ D-Mac to anyone who wants an amazing party at their wedding. He plays sets around town often (which are amazing), so if you have any doubts, go see him!

Made our wedding from start to finish the most amazing night- DMac knew exactly what to play during cocktail hour then turned it into an incredible dance party for the rest of the evening. Cannot say enough about him- easy to work with and fabulous at what he does!

All of our vendors did an amazing job, but DJ D-Mac is by far the one we got the most glowing feedback on from our guests. Everyone said how the music was phenomenal, and I'd have to agree. Highly recommended.

He is very professional and met our expectations. He is not your typical wedding DJ and there was no "cheese". He is very flexible and accommodating. I would definitely recommend his services to anyone looking for a quality DJ for any type of event.

Daryle (aka DJ D-Mac) was all around amazing! Across the board, one of the best DJs in the DC metro area and a perfect fit for any wedding.For our wedding, he did everything. Most importantly, he played a solid set of music and really kept the crowd grooving and partying throughout the reception. In addition, he played the soundtrack for the ceremony (processional and recessional), MC-ed the wedding party entrance, and coordinated the speeches throughout dinner. Throughout he was always a source of positive energy, adding to the joy of our day.He managed all of this very professionally, dealing with rain pouring down and encroaching on his equipment. Even when it came to negotiating the contract and discussing our vision for the wedding, he was great. He met us for a drink and really engaged us about all the details of the wedding. He helped us pick the right flow and format for many of the day's activities.So...no question. I would recommend Daryle to anyone looking for a DJ to play at their wedding.

We hired DJ D-Mac for our ceremony and reception music. He did an amazing job! DJ D-Mac was extrememly professional, quick to respond to our emails and a pleasure to work with. He was able to entertain guests of all ages with a great mix of songs. Our guests have raved about the music selection. We highly recommend him!

Knowing that the DJ is the one of the main components of the reception and the key to getting people out of their chairs and onto the dance floor, we didn't want your dime-a-dozen wedding DJ. At our first meeting with DJ D-Mac we knew we were getting an experienced DJ, that really knew music, and knew what to play to get people dancing and having fun without having to play a bunch of line dances (which were on our no play list). DJ D-Mac's process made things very simple. We gave him our do and don't play list, and order of events for the evening. He was spinning all kinds of music, including some mixes all night, which our guests absolutely loved. The quote from my rocker cousin who is in a band was "your DJ rocks", which was the sentiment among many of our friends. Even after the wedding, we still had people telling us how awesome the music was and how much fun they had. We were so impressed to see ages 3 through 60+ on the dance floor at the same time. DJ D-Mac's equipment was top notch, and even allowed for the speech/toast to be in the separate dinner room without any problems because of his cordless speakers. He was flexible with our very last minute change (2 minutes beforehand) for the song to introduce our parents at the reception. DJ D-Mac and his assistant were able to rock the party without being obtrusive; there were no awkward DJ interruptions with the announcements for the evenings events (first dance, cake cutting) and everything flowed smoothly. DJ-Mac is well worth the expense. We highly recommend DJ D-Mac for any event.

Daryle is a truly, truly amazing DJ and the guy you want on your team. We cannot recommend him highly enough. Nobody could resist -- music snobs, college-age siblings, grandparents, my dad with his new hip replacement, this exhausted bride -- everybody danced. DJ D-Mac knows what moves people, and it was exactly the non-weddingy, party-that-happens-to-have-a-white-dress-at-it we wanted. People *still* tell us how much fun they had. And we have video to prove it. Regarding quality, professionalism, and flexibility -- we were an *exceptionally* last-minute sort of couple, and Daryle never made us feel difficult (bless him). He was super efficient, made changes to the mics and located our first dance song which we'd forgotten (!) with minutes to spare, and was an absolute all-star in helping pull our wedding off. DJ D-Mac made us look (and feel!) like rock stars on our wedding day. Priceless.

Daryle came to me recommended by another friend who said he kept her on the dance floor for hours at her friend's wedding. I wanted someone who did not seem like your typical "wedding DJ." Someone who would play to a younger crowd without any cheese factor. He lived up to my expectations. Daryle is laid back and easy to work with -- he plays the songs you request, but he also volunteers his professional opinion when he thinks it necessary, which was important to me. And he deserves even more than five stars for responsiveness! I left all of my music planning to the last minute, and was sending Daryle probably two or three emails a day the week before my wedding. Daryle responded to most ... even though he was on his honeymoon!! He's a true professional. I received so many compliments on the music and really appreciated Daryle's services.

We looked at a lot of DJ's for our wedding and most of them made us want to puke a little. We were so happy that we found Daryle. He was excellent. Very professional, very modern, and most importantly kept people dancing the entire time. We received so many compliments about him and he was the perfect fit for us and our friends (some of whom are a little bit music snobby). He played exactly what we requested at our cocktail hour and then took over the night doing what he does best--playing cool music in fun sets and responding deftly to each change in mood throughout the evening. If you want a cool wedding with people on the dance floor to the last minute, hire Daryle! Price was not ridiculous either.

DJ D-Mac was wonderful, he kept us on the dance floor all night and even played an extra hour because we didn't want to leave! I would highly recommend his services to our friends and family!!!

You know how some wedding receptions leave you wanting more, and wishing the party would continue into the wee hours of the night? Well, this was NOT that kind of wedding, cause DJ D-Mac killed it so hard, that everyone was completely spent. Guys had sweated completely through their shirts, and virtually all our guests were sore the next day. D-Mac's set was so spot on, that people are still talking about it to this day. D-Mac is a consummate professional, who takes his craft extremely serious, and it shows. We met him in person once, and then gave him a few recommendations on the types of songs we liked, and trusted him to take it from there -- the result was amazing. There's no doubt that D-Mac could change up his style and playlist to match any couple's preference, but if you're looking to throw a real party, you've found your man.

DJ D-Mac is the wedding DJ for people who hate typical wedding DJs! You won't hear any YMCA or Macarena out of this guy, and you won't be seeing any fog machines or tacky light displays, either. Just an amazing music set that you help create by giving him a list of the songs that you want to hear, and songs that you do NOT want to hear. D-Mac played tons of our requested oddball indie rock songs, and mixed it up with a great mix of old soul, jazz, and even modern songs that everyone loves. We can't recommend him enough. Seriously. We can't count how many people have come up to us and said how amazing he was!

We had seen DJ DMac at an event several years ago, and he was the first vendor we called once we had our wedding date set. It was the best decision we ever made, because his music really set the tone for our entire event and made the night. He met with us in person a month or so before the event to get a sense of the vibe and type of music we wanted, and he hit it out of the park. He created custom edits of songs for our ceremony and dances, and he kept the dance floor jumping until the very last song. He really went above and beyond our expectations, which already were quite high. We heard nothing but raves from our guests--many, many people said it was the best DJ they had EVER heard at a wedding. We agree!!

DJ D-Mac did an amazing job at our wedding! He was by far the biggest bang for the buck of the entire event. The dance floor was packed from start to finish and all the guests commented on how great the music was. I highly recommend him!

DJ D-Mac (Daryle) was absolutely wonderful to work with! When we were first looking for a DJ for our wedding everyone we came across on the internet seemed cheesy, but then we found Daryle. We met with him and he was the complete opposite. Daryle is not a typical wedding DJ. He is a real DJ that plays both in clubs in DC and private events. He has a great knowledge of different types of music and really knows how to get keep the dance floor full. And any music he doesn't have he can download on the fly. So many of our guests commented on how great the music was! Daryle did a great job and he did it with style - his use of turntables, the music mixes, and his personality. He really knows what he is doing. Daryle even helped edit down our first dance song and the mother dance song because they were quite long. He did an amazing job and we really felt that was going above and beyond!Overall we were very VERY happy with Daryle. We told him general types of music we liked and left it up to him to pick what to play (except for our first dance, father/daughter, mother/son, last dance songs). Daryle also gave us a lot of good advice about how things during the evening would flow.I definitely recommend DJ D-Mac if you are looking for a cool DJ that really knows how to keep things exciting and fun!

My husband and I were referred to DJ D-Mac by more than one friend of ours, so we naturally went in with high expectations. From our first conversation, he followed up promptly and provided so many helpful ideas that we felt like we were getting special service for free! But that's exactly what our friends told us we could expect. The day of was a breeze, he was early, organized and most importantly put on an AMAZING show. He custom mixed our first dance and was able to balance our old favorites with dance music and somehow making it all flow perfectly. If you want dancing at your wedding from DJ who truly has what it takes, you can stop searching, you've found the best one.

DJ D-Mac made our reception night! He kept the energy alive and kept things running smoothly. We received several compliments on music selection and the overall ambiance. Daryle was easy to work with...he helped us in our selections of songs and was able to cut out parts of our first dance song to help it flow with our correographed dance. At the end of the night when our time at the venue had expired, the guests were begging him to keep playing! We highly recommend DJ D- Mac for anyone planning an event where they want people dancing and having fun.

I was very hesitant to have a DJ at our wedding as my exeperience in the past had been so poor. I cannot say enough at how Daryle changed my opinion! I would highly recommend him!Teri and TJ

BEST DJ EVER.... I was very hesitant about having a DJ at my wedding because I've always envisioned having a band. The venue we chose, however, had kind of low ceilings and I was concerned that a live band would drown out conversations and just be too overwhelming. So, I went in search of a "cool" DJ. I wanted someone who I could trust to keep the party rolling without any cheesy commentary or limbo-ish games.... and I found DJ D-Mac (Daryle). He works clubs in DC as well as a lot of private events and he has a very cool style. He does a lot of mixing, and he keeps the dance floor full. He is awesome and fantastic to work with. I can't say enough great things about him. I had friends at my wedding from Baltimore, DC, NYC, Nashville, etc. and everyone thought he was fabulous. SAY "NO" to cheesy DJs! DJ D-Mac has converted this new bride into a DJ-believer!

DJ D-Mac kept the dance floor full ALL NIGHT! All of our guests had a great time--thanks in large part to Daryle's musical talent. Even the old style mic he had for the toasts was really cool--can't wait to see those pics! He was super cool in playing the few specific requests we wanted and even came to the rescue when I wanted a special Star Wars-ish dance song for my new stepson. What a HIT! But I didn't need to suggest much of anything, and this was one of the reasons we liked him so much--DJ D-Mac KNOWS what to play and how to mix it up...It just flows. Highly recommend DJ D-Mac if you want a fun and lively party reception (for ALL ages to get into!)...I promise the dance floor will not empty!

We LOVED working with DJ D-Mac! Not only did he totally embrace the vibe of our wedding, but he was willing to travel to another state to do it! As an event planner, I plan to use D-Mac on work events, too.

We wanted a reception that felt like a party and we got it! Best anti-wedding DJ ever. Fabulous and original music throughout and all perfectly appropriate. He was amazing!

With rainy conditions moving the wedding inside(under the tent!), moral was low. A beautiful venue that needs nice weather to do it justice, we forged ahead and got married. DJ D-Mac made us forget about the weather and focused us on the dance floor. He did the best job imaginable and fit in most of the requested songs we had. Late night was 90's hip hop and he knocked out of the park! Without him I dont know how it would have turned out but Im glad he was my DJ. I will recomed him to anyone with any style, he's flexable.Drew Criner

If you're looking or wedding music that is a little out of the ordinary and more of a "club" style, and you have a real party crowd, then DJ D-Mac is definiely for you!

DC Mac spun at our wedding. He was awesome. He will work with you on what to play--we just trusted him though and we weren't disappointed! He knew just what songs to play when. Once we got to the dance floor, everybody was dancing. Without fail, the thing that everyone mentions to me since the wedding is how awesome the DJs were! Most important to me was no chicken dance/etc--not only did we not have that but we had a great mix of new and old school stuff.Something you might not be thinking about is the pictures for your toasts. He has some really cool, vintage-looking mics that look so cool in the pics afterwards. Also, something I didn't think about in advance was that we would need his services during the actual ceremony to mic the minister and vocalists--and of course it went great.I have absolutely no reservations about recommending him. It's a great value for an unbelievable DJ.

Daryl was wonderful to work with. The moment we met him we know he was exactly what we where looking for when it came to our reception DJ. We know he would get people dancing all night long, and that is exactly what he did. All of our guests are still saying that this was one of the best weddings that have ever been to and Daryl had a great part in that. We highly recommend him!

DJ D-Mac did an amazing job with djing our wedding. All of guests kept on saying how amazing he was. And he got everyone out on the dance floor. We were especially excited to have him as our DJ because even though he wasn't Indian, he found excellent bhangra music for our Indian crowd, and also mixed it in with hip-hop and fun dance music. We highly recommend him!

D-Mac was the perfect DJ for our wedding. He was very responsive to the types of songs we were interested in having played and met with us in advance to go over a plan. He even provided ambient music during the dinner. D-Mac did a great job of keeping the dance floor full and fun and we really couldn't recommend his services more. The dude is great. You will not be disappointed.

Daryle was almost single-handedly responsible for how much fun everyone had at our reception. From the music playing during the cocktails and dinner to the dancing afterward he set a chill, fun tone for our entire event. I dreaded finding a DJ for the event, figuring they would all be super-cheesy. And honestly, most of them I dealt with in the fact-finding phase were, even the ones who claimed otherwise on their websites. It was a huge relief to find Daryle and know that our wedding reception music was going to be hip (we loved that he spun at some of our favorite places in D.C.) and exactly what we wanted and that he would complement the event, not distract from it.

Not only were we totally satisfied with DJ D-Mac's professionalism and service, he was FUN to work with. He really helped us make selections but also worked to make our special requests truly special by weaving them in and out of the reception music in awesome, innovative, interesting ways! We were so happy to find him!

DJ D-Mac, aka Daryle Maciocha, was a terrific DJ. He has spun in DC venues such as Bourbon, Marvin and 18th Street Lounge. He made himself very available in the months leading up to our wedding – we met with him twice. He then played a fantastic lineup of songs! We also had Daryle handle all the sound for the ceremony. He showed up early and set up the speakers and mics, all of which worked perfectly. The nice thing is that he charged a flat rate for the entire day, which included all set-up and take-down. We did have to pay a little extra for the lapel mic for the officiant, but it was definitely worth it because the mic system was flawless. I would definitely hire Daryle again in the future.

DJ D-Mac is the absolute best. He met with us before the wedding to get a sense of what we were looking for and asked lots of probing questions to understand our music likes and dislikes. On the day of the wedding, he was very professional and carried himself with a lot more style than your typical wedding DJ. He worked tirelessly during our wedding - I don't remember him taking a break once the dancing got started. Despite a wide range of ages, all guests were on the dance floor all night and I still have friends and family tell me how much they loved the music. A number of friends have had DJ D-Mac play their weddings and he does not disappoint. We highly recommend him!

DJ D-Mac was great. He's very down to earth and did an awesome job. What I really liked about him was that he kept the party going by changing up the music selection and going with the flow of the crowd. What I mean is that I've been to a lot of weddings where the DJ tends to stick within a genre and never leave it. With Daryle behind the turntables the dance floor was NEVER empty. Most of the night it was packed full. On top of all of it, our party started 30 minutes earlier than it was supposed to and despite the sudden rush of people Daryle rolled with the punches and our guests never knew that they walked in way earlier than planned. I'd recommend him to our friends.

DJ D-Mac was fantastic. He was professional, easily accessible, reliable, and did a wonderful job. I highly recommend DJ-Dmac

Not your typical wedding DJ. If you want your guests to have fun and dance all night hire DJ Mac!

Great DJ who happens to also do weddings.

DJ D-Mac is amazing. Not only was he the second most exciting aspect of our wedding (besides the marriage) but he is now our favorite DJ EVER. Before we booked him we heard him play a few nights at Marvin and were hooked. He is a rare find because, first of all, most DJs this good don't (or more importantly can't very skillfully) do weddings. But he is not a wedding DJ. He is a REAL DJ in the sense that he is a connoisseur of music, plays records and CRAFTS the experience. We're not music experts but we knew we wanted people dancing to a funky/sophisticated playlist... somehow we didn't know exactly what that would entail but what we got was PERFECT. As a performer D-Mac was approachable, and casual but professional and focused too (I've seen too many wedding DJ's that act like the ring leader of a circus.). Our friends who were at our wedding also had DJ D-Mac play at their wedding a year later and he was just as good but had totally adapted to their contrasting tastes. D-Mac is a beast.

As a musically illiterate groom, I found that DJ D-Mac was a fantastic choice. They managed to elicit the musical desires my bride and I had for our wedding. We wanted our music to transition from the formal ceremony affair to a cocktail hour that had a casual 50's club atmosphere to some peppery music to get everyone to boogie on the dance floor. The most amazing thing is that DJ D-Mac is able to change the transitions together seamlessly, maintaining the energy of the event and also gauging our crowd to keep us excited!

As someone who is very passionate about both music and dancing, I was looking for a DJ that is the "real deal". DJ DMAC knows what it takes to keep a party moving, while considering the diverse tastes of the wedding crowd. He is easy to work with and very professional. The mixing of songs was smooth and eclectic. We greatly appreciated his good spirit and ability to rock the party, even into the later hours of the night. Thanks Daryle!

The highlight of our wedding reception, people couldn't stop talking about how great DJ D Mac was. Our only regret, we didn't have him get the party started earlier. Probably one of the best investments we made for our wedding. Talented and intuitive a great combo of skills

DJ D-Mac made our party the best reception ever. We danced all night long, thanks to his expert mixing and song selection. Numerous guests approached us to comment on how awesome he was. He kept the music jamming all night long, working in some special requests, but also keeping the dance-floor-emptiers out of the mix. And when called upon to come up with a last-minute Groom/mother song, he delivered beautifully. So, if you're looking for a "non-wedding" DJ to make your night truly memorable, we highly recommend DJ D-Mac!

DJ D-Mac was incredible! My guests can't stop talking about what a fun dance set he put together. D-Mac is not your typical wedding dj - he turns your reception into a club-like atmosphere. There was constant energy on the dance floor with really inventive mashups.He was also an incredible sound technician. We had live musicians during our ceremony which he mic'd well and then he piped 1930s and 40s swing into our cocktail hour (it fit our venue). Then my husband (still fun to say!) played a song for me at our reception and he took care to make sure he sounded his best. He was supportive of our love of music both recorded and live. I'm very happy!

My husband and I waited 20 years to get married (gay couple...had to wait for the laws to catch up). We have a high energy group of friends and family. DJ Rhome and his partner met with us to go over our music preferences and to feel out the flavor and vibe to see if we were a good match. There was instant chemistry. They got us, immediately. In fact, we shared some common musical tastes. DJ Rhome was perfect at the reception. Perfect selection of mood music for the dinner courses. And he put in everything we asked for for the dancing. He can read a crowd and adapt very quickly. Great presence during our toasts and the cutting of the cake. And he worked in a great suprise for us at the end (as song clip from our favorite show, "The Golden Girls."). I HIGHLY recommend them, without any reservation. Rhome was worth every penny invested. In fact, given how good he was, we felt like he gave us a discount.

DJ D-Mac was an amazing DJ for our wedding. Our guests danced all night long. The reception really felt like a party. I would highly recommend him for any event.

DJ D-Mac was fabulous! He was great at getting back to us quickly and was wonderful to work with. He edited music to fit our timeline and created a mash-up for our entrance just for us. He definitely made for a great party!

DJ D-Mac did an amazing job at our wedding. At one point we looked around and the entire room was on the dance floor. We got non-stop compliments on the music during the reception and for weeks afterward. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend DJ D-Mac services.

Daryle is a fantastic DJ and he's the exact opposite of a stereotypical cheesy wedding DJ. He worked with us to craft an amazing playlist. Our guests were on the dance floor pretty much nonstop and we received a ton of compliments about how great he was. He keeps things lively, moving from one song right into the next, and he also played some great music during dinner. He kept our reception timeline in mind and worked with us to adjust the schedule when our shuttles delayed our event. He also has some of the coolest mics we've ever seen!

DJ D-Mac played the best music and kept the dance floor active all night long! I have not been to another wedding since that has had a DJ that played the "right" songs and knew how to read the crowd. Thanks D-Mac!

For all us brides looking for a REAL DJ, not just someone to push play, Daryl is the one. He's extremely talented and my husband and I were very impressed even at our first meeting. He and his assistant turned an old stable into a dance party, set up speakers, spinned/mixed music, and had everyone on the floor. His music is so diverse and he is able to accommodate any request (even my father/daughter dance mixing two songs together for a surprise!). We got tons of compliments on him and couldn't be happier.

People were wowed by DJ Mac; his music selection was fun, everyone enjoyed it. He is very easy to work with, experienced and knows what to play. We gave him some songs ideas, then he ran with it and didn't need much further guidance.

It was great working with DJ Nitekrawler (Kevin) for our wedding in early October. Before the event, we had a few calls to discuss what equipment was required, which helped us feel much more prepared, and our vision for night's music (we asked him to play during our cocktail hour, dinner and reception). Kevin did a fantastic job turning our "wish list" of songs into hours of crowd-pleasing music and threw in a few surprises that were right on track for us and our guests. Overall, a job very well done by Kevin and DJ D-Mac & Associates!

We were happy with the overall service that we received from DJ D-Mac & Associates. Our DJ Rusty was laid back and was easy to communicate with. He did a great job on the day of the wedding, making sure that everything was taken care of. Since our e-mails were lost in his junk mail, we have put 4 stars instead of 5 stars for responsiveness. I understand that sometimes emails go in to the junk mail box, but I wish he had followed up with us little bit more instead of having us contact them whenever we need their help or confirmation before the wedding.

DJ D-Mac (Daryle) came recommended to us by a friend who had used his services for a previous wedding. He was focused on making sure that the 'backdrop' music played during our reception (while guests dined) reflected our desired mood. He has professional equipment and an extensive catalog (oldies and funky stuff to 80's and 90's pop to modern club tunes), but we did need to supply him with some our more specifically-requested songs (some oldies and 'adult AM radio' songs). Daryle worked with us as we selected the songs for the dancing portions of the evening - during which he kept the dancing going full-force without calling attention to himself or inserting any 'gimmicky' songs. He also worked with our special requests, as we involved a live musician for a portion of the evening. We got a lot of compliments from our guests about how fun it was to dance at our wedding and we can definitely recommend DJ D-Mac if you are looking for a pro DJ to give your guests who love to dance, a great time.

DJ D Mac and associates were exactly what we were looking for in a wedding DJ, not cheesy and hip. We highly recommend using Daryle and associates for your wedding if you want someone who is not your typical wedding DJ. Our guests loved the music he played and were dancing all night. One thing we would recommend to potential couples is to provide him with a must play list to ensure that your favorite hits are played. We had a blast, and thanks again for keeping us and our guests dancing all night long. Take care, Ashley and Jon

DJ D-Mac put on a great party for our reception. All of our guests had a great time dancing the night away. I would defiantly recommend him to anyone looking for a great DJ. My only complaint was he was sometimes hard to get a hold of but he came through in the end.

DJ Rusty B did a good job at our wedding, he is very proffessional and easy to work with, however I wish there had been more variety during the dancing portion. I think that if you are clear on what you want and can provide a good amount of songs that you would like to be played, this is a good option for you.

Fantastic DJ. Really knows how to mix the music using many different genres. Everyone one of our guests were impressed by him. Hard worker and is completely focused during setup, the show and teardown. Would use him again for other parties.

Each year there are just a handful of vendors that really stand out and make me say "wow". In 2011 Daryle from DJ D-Mac was one of them. His professionalism, enthusiasm, and skill was continuously displayed at the wedding we both were involved in. With that said he is highly recommended and will certainly contribute to setting your event to the next level.

The dance floor is always packed when DJ D-Mac is doing his thing.He's totally cool and has amazing taste in music. I always want to dance when I'm shooting!-Renee Michele

I worked with Darryl at a wedding I coordinated this past Spring in Potomac, MD and he is one of the best DJ's I have ever seen in action! He did a great job of keeping the dance floor alive and pumping and even brought musical props for the guests to have fun with. I would recommend him to any couple.

Seriously one of the best DJs in the area. We know D-Mac is going to make our job of capturing guests dancing and having fun easy. He has the dance floor packed the whole night and knows how to read the crowd. I always refer to him as someone that does mash ups and blends right into the next great song. A pleasure to work with!

DJ D-Mac is a true professional and skilled dj, just the guy you need for your unique and fun wedding. His ability to take classic and new songs and flip them into something new and fresh and his keen since of timing of when to play the right song at the right time makes him one of the best djs in town. Beyond that his personal approach to dealing with clients, from creating a truly unique soundtrack for the evening to helping plan your whole event are top notch.

There are wedding DJs, and then there's D-Mac. If you want someone who is truly different, whose sensibility stems more from a club atmosphere than a traditional wedding playlist, you seriously have to hire D-Mac. We've never seen a dance floor packed as much as when we saw him work.

D-Mac is by far the COOLEST dj! You can be assured he will not only keep the dance floor packed the whole night, but he will do it with the best mix of music. He is not your typical dj and is always the first I highly recommend!

I can't begin to say how much I enjoy working with Daryle. He knows how to get a party started and keep it going! I've never seen a crowd have as much fun as they do when Daryle is doing his thing. Daryle keeps the dance floor packed! He is a true professional and is very attentive to the clients likes and dislikes. Each time I work with Daryle, guests go out of their way to tell me it's the best wedding they've ever attended. I highly recommend DJ D-Mac!
