DJGreyhound DJ Services

Vern was hands down the most professional, organized, detail oriented vendor there ever existed. I didn't have to worry about a thing with him. He took the initiative to call and make sure that he knew exactly what we wanted. I knew after the first time I met him that I wouldn't have any trouble with him. He was set up and ready to go by the time all the guests arrived and through the playlist we sent him, he was able to gauge the kind of music we wanted played and every single song played that night was a hit!! If I had to do it all over again, Vern would be the first person I would rehire.

Thanks again, Vern!!!! =)=)

DJ Greyhound is awesome! He made everything so easy. His extensive & detailed website was alot of help and he was always available when we had questions. He is very professional and he performed exactly as expected. Our wedding day was perfect! Plus we love the bonus CD he created with our special songs. I would highly recommend DJ Greyhound and definitely use him again!!

The music was great !, THe ceremony music, the cocktail music and dancing music.. Vern is fantastic and so professional.. He is a great MC and kept us on track as well throughout the evening!!!

Vern was great throughout the entire process, and often would email or call even before I thought to call him. Quick to respond, incredibly reliable and professional. His flexibility during our reception ensured that all the guests had an awesome time! He is definitely the kind of DJ you do not have to worry about. He was there early, adjusted to the vibe of the crowd and was hassle free. Don't think twice about hiring him!

Vern was a lot of fun and the reception events ran very smoothly, thanks in part, to him. We chose him because he is owner operated and experienced. So, we knew he would be really personally invested in it going well and he would have the skills to make it happen. It went really well.

Dj Greyhound (Vern) was awesome. I hand picked my entire cocktail hour, had a very obscure ceremony song, timing instructions, among other things. I gave Vern the wedding coordinator's contact info, and I didn't have to worry about anything after that. Didn't need to speak to Vern day-of and there he was, delivering everything as discussed. Stress free and exactly what we were hoping for - amazing experience. Thanks Vern!!!!

Dj Greyhound was an amazing dj! He was very responsive and flexible all throughout our wedding planning, and he was willing to meet with us in person on multiple occassions to discuss our reception music. Vern was incredibly nice, and when the staff at our venue did not have things ready for us, Vern stepped in and helped to make sure that everything flowed smoothly. He also kept us aware throughout the day of when different events would take place, such as the cake cutting and garter toss.
Vern made sure that he played every song that we requested. At one point in the day, a guest stepped on my dress and it ripped. So that I wouldn't miss out on any songs that I wanted to dance to, Vern played some classic, go-to songs that everyone knew. I was so grateful for this.
If you are looking for an affordable, flexible, and kind dj, DJ Grehound is your guy! We couldnt have asked for a better DJ!

We were looking for a DJ who would get people dancing but without being loud or cheesy. Vern was low-key and professional and knew how to get everyone engaged. He understood that while we had a fair number of people who would be speaking, we didn't want the garter or bouquet toss or any of that stuff. He was very respectful of what we wanted and not what usually is done. He also excellent at keeping us on schedule with the speeches, cake cutting, etc. He was also very pleasant and very responsive. I would definitely would recommend his services.

We are so thankful we found Vern. We planned our own wedding and Vern was one of the few aspects we never questioned or worried about. From the moment we first got in touch he was so professional and so clearly competent. He handled our mic and music needs for the outdoor ceremony, quickly switched to a second location for the outdoor cocktail hour, and then moved over to the larger setup in the reception hall he had established earlier in the day. We already felt good about Vern and our feelings were confirmed when we heard several of our guests exclaiming to others how great the playlist was. And he did a great job of reading the crowd--the dance floor was never empty. Vern was great to work with and the best choice we could have made for a DJ.

Vern is excellent to work with! He responds to emails quickly and really is on top of things. His price is more affordable than many other DJs in this area, and he was exactly the kind of DJ that we were looking for. He did everything perfectly, we couldn't have asked for more. Our guests had a blast out on the dance floor. I highly recommend Vern!

Working with Vern at DJ Greyhound DJ Services was one of the best choices we made when choosing our endless list of vendors! I am a softie for animals and rescue, and learning that Vern donates to Greyhound rescue immediately got him to the top of my list when I was in the interview process of my list of DJs. After speaking with Vern on the phone, I felt that he really had a wonderful grasp on the type of reception my husband and I were trying to create. He did not disappoint! He was extremely professional, dressed very well, stuck to our requests, played what we had requested, and didn't play songs we put on our do not play list- despite guests asking him to! He kept everyone on the dance floor all night long- and I mean everyone- grandmas, aunts, uncles, you name it! Everyone told us what an amazing time they had, and I know we owe quite a lot of that compliment to Vern. Thanks for making it so fun and special for everyone!

Vern was extremely flexible which was great for us because of all the family and friends we had there and all of the differing opinions on music. It was great that he was so organized as well, it was comforting to me that he wanted the timeline of the gist of how things were going to go because I was very concerned about time but he eased my fears on that. Thank you so much for doing a wonderful job at our wedding! If you're getting married in the DC area I definitely reccommend talking to Vern!

We were very happy with Vern's DJing at our reception. He did a great job of taking our song requests and incoroporating them into a cohesive sound for the evening. He also did exactly the amount of MCing we wanted, and we appreciated the way he kept things moving. In our meeting prior to the event, he offered some very valuable suggestion for timing and planning that worked out well. I would certainly recommend him to anyone getting married in the area.

DJ Greyhound (Vern) did a great job at our wedding. He really listened to what we wanted out of a dj and executed upon it flawlessly. He gave suggestions where we needed help and really worked with us. Our wedding was a distance away from where he lives and he never hesitated in the least bit to meet us at the venue ahead of time to cover logistics. We schedule our pre wedding venue visit on the day of the DC earthquake and he still made it out. DJ Greyhound did the music for a our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. I bring this up because it was a logistics obstacle transitioning between all 3 physically dispersed locations. I really appreciate the level of energy and professionalism Vern gave the day. I'd highly recommend him.

DJ Greyhound was absolutely incredible! Our guests all loved his music, and he was very helpful throughout the planning process, and was able to accommodate all of our requests. He went above and beyond, and even gave us a CD at the end of the night that included all of our special wedding songs. Could not recommend him enough!!!

Our wedding/reception was amazing and DJ Greyhound helped us to create a night my husband and I will never forget! DJ Greyhound provided us with a meeting about a month prior to our wedding date and we knew exactly what to expect and made the reception so much fun!! All of our guests have said that they enjoyed themselves and lets face it, the music and dancing is a big part of this :) Thank you so much DJ Greyhound for making our night one we will remember always!

Vern was very helpful and responsive, but not at all pushy. He was very organized and had everything ready to go well before the wedding, and was even kind when we were a little late in getting our contributions to him. At the event, he was professional and unobtrusive, playing exactly the type of music that we -- and our guests -- wanted. He handled last-minute requests from our crazy relatives with calm and patience. His follow-up was also great and showed that he really cares about clients.

seriously, the DJ community in the DC metro area is not only saturated, but completely overpriced. i found a gem with Dj Vern (DJ Greyhound)! he was likeable, responsive, organized, and best of all - affordable. we spoke on the phone twice and emailed a few times the 6 months before my wedding, but never had a chance to meet in person, but i wasnt worried. (he is available to meet in person if you like). he showed up on time, was appropriately dressed, and there wasnt ONE HICCUP with any of the music or sound set-ups. i would highly recommend DJ Greyhound Dj services to anyone planning a wedding and will refer him to any of my friends getting married as well.

Vern Shird/DJ Greyhound was great as our wedding DJ. He provided microphones, ceremony music, reception music and acted as MC for our wedding. We were very pleased with the sound quality, music choices and his ability to keep events on track. We requested he make a special birthday announcement in honor of a 90th birthday and he went above and beyond to get the photographer ready to take photos and get everyone to sing to her. It was the extra effort he put forth that made it really special. He was always responsive to our emails and gave helpful feedback on the timeline of our reception. The dancefloor was packed throughout our reception and he was flexible with the flow of our event. As a special bonus, he provides a cd with songs from the wedding which we're having a lot of fun listening to. We may be biased but we think he did a better job than the DJs at other weddings we've been to. Great service at a reasonable price.

If we could give DJ Greyhound six stars we would, especially for value and flexibility. A glitch with another vendor left us without music for the ceremony, and within minutes Greyhound stepped in to literally save the day. We had not discussed the ceremony music before, but his selection was perfect. And he was smooth with transitions during dinner and reading the crowd on the dance floor. We recommend DJ Greyhound without hesitation.

Vern was a pleasure to work with. We went through 5 DJs before finding him. He was responsive to all our requests and did his best to make sure that everything went smoothly. Vern doesn't have a wireless lapel mic., so make sure your officiant, and anyone doing a reading, knows that they'll have to speak directly into the microphone to be heard. Also, if you plan on doing a special dance, say like for an introduction, make sure he has the same version you practiced with. Our intro song had a slightly different beginning section that forced us into our routine too early. Vern did play all of our song requests. Overall, we'd recommend Vern for your DJ services.

Vern is an absolute pleasure to work with. He is professional but he is also very down to earth and personable. What might have been boring or awkward pre-consultation appointments became interesting conversations. We asked a lot of him and he gave us almost everything we asked for. We sent an extensive playlist--much of the music was not your typical wedding fare--and he was able to work in a lot of the songs we asked for, balancing them with other songs to keep the party going. The dance floor was never empty and we received a number of compliments about the music. We elected to do an anniversary dance (I was a little bit skeptical about this, to be honest), and it was very touching when Vern congratulated the couple who had been married longest (54 years!) and asked what their secret to a happy marriage is. People really loved this. Overall, it was a great experience working with Vern and I would absolutely recommend him.

Vern was great to work with. He said his services were all inclusive and he was honest. My husband and I gave him every piece of music we wanted played at the wedding - some pretty obscure stuff - and he found it all! We wanted our wedding to be elegant but when party time came around he turned up the volume and delivered at the reception. Everyone had a great time - the dance floor was occupied all night! He definitely set the tone for the wedding we wanted.

Vern was an amazing DJ. He took the time to talk with me before the wedding, and ensured that my event was classy but fun. He knew exactly what music to play based off of the feeling of the crowd. I would hire DJ greyhound over and over again!

DJ Greyhound is THE BEST!! He did a fantastic job on our wedding on May 7th. From the beginning, he was very responsive and very easy to work with. I didn't give him a lot of direction as far as songs we were looking for or the type of music we liked, but he took the info I did give him, ran with it, and did a great job! He had everyone from our friends to my grandparents out on the dance floor! He did a great job of mixing music the older guests enjoyed with more current songs. I couldn't have asked for more! Thank you so much! -Kimberly & Matt

Vern was one of the best vendors we worked with during our wedding planning. A great value for this area, and he always responded very quickly to any questions we had for him. Most importantly, he did a great job at the wedding, for both the ceremony and reception, and kept our guests dancing all night!

Book this guy!!! I had been looking high and low for someone I could trust to NOT be "that DJ" at our wedding. I didn't want a lot of interference during the reception and DJ Greyhound made me feel very comfortable that I was booking the right vendor. He is extremely knowledgeable and has a huge music selection. All I had to do was pick about 6-7 songs I wanted played at our reception and he filled in the rest with some great picks! I also used him for the ceremony music and while my head was spinning at the time, right before I walked down the aisle I noticed that the music was perfect - perfect timing (which I was VERY worried about, as I only used one song for the wedding party and bridal entrance), perfect volume, perfect everything!

DJ Greyhound did a nice job at my wedding. Although there were a few mixups with the bridal party intros and timing for the speeches, Vern did a good job and has a great music selection. He also made us a CD of our requested playlist, which was a very nice touch.

Our guests had a great time dancing! It was a perfect mix for our diverse wedding party. Thanks so much!!!

DJ Greyhound was great--easy to work with, flexible, on time, and the music was just what we wanted. We were dancing the entire time, and it was an afternoon wedding too! His rates were very reasonable as well. Would highly recommend.

Dj Greyhound did a superb job at our wedding. This music selections were just right and we appreciated his professionalism. The cd wedding gift was a thoughtful gesture!

Greyhound djs in my opion are the best i have ever heard! they are great to work with for a wedding!

Vern provided music for both the ceremony and reception. He played a variety of tracks from our music listing and took requests throughout the evening. Very pleasant to work with!

DJGreyhound was extremely flexible and responsive. He's definitely a professional and well worth it!

I heard rave reviews from our guests about the overall song flow and selections. DJ Greyhound was a pleasure to work with, and he wasn't afraid to roll up his sleeves to pitch in when things got a little hectic behind the scenes. He helped our other vendors and the venue make sure our day was great, and for that I am eternally grateful. I would recommend him for any event.

we weren't sure of how to incorporate a special tribute to my grandparents and vern suggested an anniversary dance. he read the crowd well and kept things flowing. he gave us a nice cd with our music before he left - we were very pleased.

My husband and I were very pleased with DJ Greyhound for both our ceremony and reception. He was pleasant, professional and provided everything as promised. He was also right on with his own song selections based on our tastes and the moods of our guests. I would recommend Vern for any wedding event.

Vern was a pleasure to work with. He definitely catered to us as the clients, while balancing the requests of our guests - which we appreciated. I would recommend him to anyone!

Vern (DJ Greyhound) was completely professional, easy to work with, and a good value. He was responsive to our requests and helped make our wedding day low-stress!

DJ Greyhound was aweseome!! He answered all of our questions before we booked him and was a great source of information! He played all the music we asked and kept us on time for the evenings events. All of our guests loved DJ Greyhound and he played music and kept all age groups involved in the dancing!!

DJ Greyhound provided great music and (light) emcee services (as desired) for our wedding reception. He books up quickly, so I was thrilled to have my date available when I contacted him. We were able to have a "no play" and "must play" list, and he even gave us a CD of special wedding songs from our reception after the reception ended. He kept the dance floor packed throughout the evening and requested phonetic spellings of our bridal party so that he was able to pronounce our name (which can be difficult) and the names of our bridal party members correctly!

Vern was fantastic! I would highly recommend him for your wedding. He was able to get everyone dancing- from ages 4 to 84. At the end of your reception he gives you a CD with some tunes from your wedding- such a great touch!

Vern was very flexible and went along with last minute changes. The music was great and the guests had a wonderful time. We still listen to the wedding cd he gave us - I highly recommend his service.

Highly recommend his service! Very professional and easy to work with!

Vern was great to work with. He played our cd for our slideshow on cue and worked with our vendors. Very professional and people danced throughout the night.

DJ Greyhound is professional and experienced - if you want things done right, on a schedule, and very traditional then he is the way to go. If you need assurance that your wedding reception will be a predictable event with the expected DJ'esque type environment you will be satisfied with this service. However this is not what we wanted and probably should have canceled our contract early on - and we take full responsibility for not realizing that this DJ was comparable to a Davis DJ type corny-event. We were disappointed with the music and the demeanor of his presence the day of our event. Many of our personal requests submitted far in advance of the request month deadline were not played during the dance hour. The DJ was curt to us the day of our event and it was awkward working with him during the reception. We had read such great reviews on the Web about this service but personally were disappointed with the unoriginality and presence of this DJ.

Dj greyhound was incredible! He kept people dancing all night and was a joy to work with. Our cd gift was a nice addition too - highly recommend!

Vern did a great job with our ceremony and reception music. He was professional to work with, flexible, and was responsive.

DJ Vern was amazing!!! He kept our dance floor packed the entire night. Working with Vern prior to our wedding was totally hassle-free. He's very professional and is very organized. He played the type of music we preferred and our guests had a great time. I highly recommend his services.

I don't wish to provide details, but I do not recommend this vendor.

Vern's flexibility (shown in part through his contract) is unique to the business, and really allows you to create the mood you want, as well as be as hands-on or hands-off as you want. He was very receptive to our thoughts and preferences, and absolutely delivered. He's easy to work with, and obviously values his clients. Highly recommended.

Vern was very professional and organized. He was also flexible with scheduling changes and our music requests.

Verne was AWESOME. He was one of the few vendors that really went above and beyond our expectations. I would recommend him anytime.

Our dj vern did a great job with keeping our timeline in check. He accommodated late changes and played our special requests. He also gave us a cd as a wedding gift.

Vern was very helpful during the planning process - at the reception, he stayed on top of things and the music was great!

DJGREYHOUND was fantastic. It's true that the DJ keeps things flowing :-) I'm glad someone did, I was scatter brained! The setup was great, the music selection was amazing (he even provided music not on his list) and at the end gave us a CD of songs that were played throughout the night.. I listen to it almost daily :-)

Vern really kept on top of things and helped our event flow. We trusted his judgement on playing music to keep people dancing - and we still play the wedding cd he gave us.

DJ Greyhound DJ services was highly professional and responsible. He worked closely with us (following our cues) to help us choose music to our taste. He also was willing to cater his style of "DJ-ing" to what we wanted. He also had an excellent selection of music and was willing to buy any other songs. We also enjoyed the momento CD he made for us of songs that were played at the wedding.

Vern did a great job with the music at our wedding. He was even able to find and play some songs that aren't usually "wedding" songs. I'm glad we were able to find him!

DJ Greyhound was great. He perfectly handled our complicated family introductions, and stood up to people who requested the one song on our "do not play" list! Everyone was dancing through the whole night. He also provided a CD with a bunch of songs he played at the wedding, which was a really nice touch.

DJ Greyhound played all the right music during our wedding reception! Vern was very helpful with picking different songs to key reception moments. He was very receptive to our song suggestions, and he played other songs with perfect complement! Vern acted very professional and dress to the "nines" for our reception.

Vern (Djgreyhound) really did an excellent job keeping things on schedule. The music choices were wonderful and he stayed over an hour without missing a beat. He also gave us a cd as our wedding gift - highly recommend.

DJGreyhound was very professional and made sure our event flowed smoothly. He stuck to our play lists and do not play lists and read the crowd well. He even gave us a CD of our requests as a wedding gift at the end of the event. Highly recommend!

Vern was very helpful during our hectic planning process and provided the right mood for our event. We also love the fact that his business is involved with canine rescue.

DJ greyhound was very responsive and on the ball throughout the whole process. He made everything easy and provided the vibe we were going for. Nice guy too:-)

Vern was very professional to work with. Kept the reception flowing, stayed away from songs we didn't want played, and kept the party moving. Our wedding cd gift was a nice touch.

Great all around experience!! Highly Recomend.

Vern was very professional and great to work with. He accomodated last minute changes to our schedule effortlessly. He followed all of our "special request" music requests and our guests all loved him!

Vern played exactly the mix of music we wanted. He kept the wedding moving at a great pace and worked well with our caterer to coordinate timing and cultural music. Vern was also very flexable in staying an extra hour when our reception went into overtime!

Was a pleasure to work with - very professional. Was very flexible with our last minute changes and kept the dancefloor full. We've really enjoyed listening to the CD he gave to us as our wedding gift.

Vern was fantastic! We wanted a low-key DJ that would keep our guests on the dance floor. Even with our daytime wedding, Vern did a great job! We had very specific "play" and "do not play" lists, which he followed perfectly. He pronounced our unusual last name correctly, and was extremely flexible on the wedding day when we moved times, switched orders, etc.

His price tag is a little higher than most DJ's, but in this case you get what you pay for. Vern was worth the splurge and I'm so happy he was able to play our wedding.

vern was helpful in getting our timeline together. we weren't sure of how to incorporate a special tribute to my grandparents and vern suggested an anniversary dance. he read the crowd well and kept things flowing. he gave us a nice cd with our music before he left - we were very pleased.

DJGreyhound was a pleasure to work with. He emceed the event, took requests, and kept the guests dancing. Very professional.

Vern was by far my favorite vendor. I've recommended him to every bride I come into contact with looking for a DJ. He was professional, helpful, and a genuinely kind and caring person. He kept the dance floor packed while still managing to fit in all the music we had requested. We didn't have an official coordinator to help orchestrate the night so Vern even stepped in to help keep us on schedule. I honestly can not say enough great things about DJGreyhound!

DJ Greyhound was great! He got everyone up on the dance floor - from little kids to grandparents. At least 4 of our friends asked for his info for their upcoming weddings because they had such a good time.

We were so pleased with DJ Greyhound. He was easy to work with and met every request we made. He did an outstanding job of choosing and playing music that enhanced our wedding reception and allowed everyone to have a great time. Highly recommend.

I would definitely recommend DJ Greyhound to anyone looking for a DJ!

We were very happy with Vern. He was very prompt in responding to our request and questions and was very professional. Highly recommend!

Vern from Dj greyhound was great! Very professional. I would definetly recommend him to anyone.

DJGreyhound provided us great, trouble-free service for our wedding.

He was easy to book, showed up on time (depite the wedding being 1 day after Hurricane Isabel), and provided exactly the service he said he would.

He gave us the opportunity to review his song list ahead of time and provide any "vetos" (no chicken dance, yeah!), and generally guide him on the overall type of music we were looking for.

We had a couple of songs we wanted that he didn't have on his play list, and he accepted our CDs and played them for us.

Cost was great for the service provided. I'd hire him again and recommend him to others.

Pat Morrow

have a blast at your next function!

If you need a DJ they are the ones to call.

I recommend the services of DJGreyhound DJ Services to make your Wedding Day a one-of-a-kind event that will be remembered and cherished by you and all your guests for years to come. ~~ Angela www.calligraphybynagela.com 214 957 2155

Vern is a warm and engaging guy. He's a hard worker at events and he really pay attentions to everyone. He's also classy in how he runs his shows!

I had the opportunity to work with DJ Greyhound at a recent wedding. Vern was the life of the party and really read the crowd well. If you are looking for a DJ, I highly recommend DJ Greyhound!

We worked with DJGreyhound at a wedding in Taneytown last year, and he was absolutely fabulous. You can't go wrong with such a great DJ!

Natalie and Jamie

I've had the pleasure of working with Vern in April. He was very responsive prior to the wedding. During the wedding, he was a breeze to work with and most importantly, kept the dance floor packed the whole night! He is excellent at reading the crowd and knowing what song to play next to keep the party going. I can't wait to have the opportunity to recommend him to a client. Vicky Choy, Event Accomplished

I've worked with Vern several times and he is always punctual and extremely professional. He keeps guests on the dance floor while maintaining a low-kew and classy demeanor - two of the best qualities you can have in a DJ. He is a friendly and great guy and I've had nothing but positive experiences at the weddings we work together. You will not be disappointed with the service Vern provides!
