Dario was absolutely fantastic! He did a great job with the music at our wedding reception -- the dance floor was packed the entire evening. He was easy to work with, listened to us well and stayed on script, and played the type of music we wanted. He was extremely responsive and personable. He had dj'd my brothers wedding a year ago and remembered most of my family a year later. He was also fexible -- we found out a few days before the wedding that the church did not have a sound system. For a very reasonable fee, Dario set up a second sound system at the church. He could not have been any better.

I would highly recommend him to anyone.

DJ Dario was professional, personable, punctual and flexible. He was a top notch DJ on our wedding night and was able to entertain a crowd of two different cultures and backgrounds. DJ Dario really listened to what we were looking for and followed through until the end of the reception. We met months before the wedding, DJ Dario kept in touch and was very responsive during the planning stages. The music played during the cocktail hour, dinner, different events during the reception and during dancing were perfect. The fact he was a bilingual DJ and MC made a huge difference. Our wedding was so much fun and I have to thank DJ Dario so much because he was a key person!

We called Dario after seeing his excellent reviews online. We spoke with him and were confident that he was the right DJ for our event. He's very easygoing and it was apparent that he had a good sense of what we wanted. (Basically, a fun dance party with music that our 20- and 30-something friends would like, with no corny wedding songs.)

We were not disappointed. Working with Dario was a pleasure from beginning to end. We had a quick conversation to discuss our expectations and Dario sent us a list of popular songs to annotate so we could give him a sense of our guests' tastes. On the night of the event, Dario was there on time, set up and ready to go. His equipment is great and he requires absolutely zero supervision--he is a true professional. He took over seamlessly from the instrumental band we had playing during the cocktail hour and launched into the dance party portion of the evening without missing a beat.

Most importantly, he played music that kept the enthusiasm going until the bitter end. Dozens of friends have told us since the event what a great time they had and how much fun the atmosphere was. The proof is in the pudding.

We are very, very glad we chose Dario to DJ our wedding and would absolutely recommend him to anyone.

I'm very happy that I Dario was our wedding dj. I was referred to him by a friend who also used him at his wedding. Dario is a pure joy to work with. He's flexible, positive, responsive and knows how to make you feel comfortable. I would highly recommend him as a vendor. Our wedding was a blast! Thanks Dario.

DJ Dario is a responsive, professional, super nice, seriously talented DJ.

Our wedding was on August 4th, 2012 and he did a great job. My husband and I were happy to have DJ Dario in our wedding day. He was the DJ at our Niece/Brother’s wedding two years prior our wedding and we really liked him since then. He was so helpful throughout the entire process. He is fun, friendly and great at what he does. We did our best to guide him to what we wanted and he did his thing.
We wanted to keep the energy high in the dance floor, but we understood that sometimes it's smart to slow it down so people can catch their breath. Dario handled this challenge like a champ. If the crowd needed a break, he delivered it. If the crowd wanted to get rowdy, he was happy to oblige. We told him the music we, our families and friends liked to dance to and he did the rest. Despite, were some misunderstandings and confusing with some of the songs in our playlist, the dance floor was packed from the very first song and our guests are still calling to let us know how much fun they had.

I would highly recommend DJ Dario!

We are extremely happy we chose DJ Dario Claudio for our wedding, and we simply can't recommend him highly enough. He contributed tremendously to what was a wonderful evening of dancing and celebration, keeping both sides of our families and friends of all ages out on the dance floor throughout the festivities. More than a music spinner, he provided our introductions and announcements as we requested in an elegant and polished way that kept the tone of the event.

Our guests are still complimenting us on our choice of DJ. Several have said he's the best they've ever come across -- and we agree!

He is also an honest, straightforward businessman who respects his clients' preferences -- we could tell as soon as we met for an initial interview that we were comfortable with moving forward in working with him. Besides meeting with us in person at the venue about a month in advance, he was consistently reachable, responsive and open and welcoming to our ideas. He dressed impeccably, was punctual, had state-of-the-art equipment that sounded great and that wasn't clunky or obtrusive to look at (!), very reasonable in his rate, and worked very well with our site manager and coordinator (who have added him to their short list of favorites).

Going into the selection process, I was highly skeptical that a DJ would abide by our playlist, maintain a balance of elegance and fun simultaneously, or have a good sense of the gamut of genres, musical eras and artists we wanted to include. But Dario did, and we are thrilled.

He is truly professional, personable, and we recommend him without any reservation whatsoever.

I found DJ Dario through a friend of mine, she had heard good things about him. He was prompt in responding to my now husband's initial inquiry and those that followed. We had to plan our wedding from out of town, so we were only able to meet up with him a few weeks before the wedding. He was very interested in our ideas and what kind of music we wanted, he took a lot of notes. He also had some great ideas for games during the reception, i.e., one for who would take home the centerpiece. He was on time, professional and was great at keeping things moving through the reception, through all of the announcements, speeches and of course the music. Another family member of mine booked him for his wedding the following year!

If you want all your guests on the dance floor, then you need DJ Dario to rock your wedding. My husband and I were married over two years ago, and our friends are literally still talking about how much fun they had at our reception. A large part of our wedding day success was due to DJ Dario’s skills. From start to finish, Dario was able to gauge the mood and needs of the crowd. Far from the typical drowsy elevator music during most wedding dinners, Dario picked songs that were calming yet still upbeat enough to keep the energy going. Once it was time to dance, his choices were flawless all night long. One of our favorite moments of The Day, was when we looked up to see everyone on the dance floor; our college friends were right alongside aunts, uncles, and older family members, all grinning from ear to ear moving with the music. By the end of the night everyone, including me, was sweating from head to toe from hours of dancing; with his varied, well-timed, well-chosen mix, Dario was truly able to please all of my guests.

Aside from making terrific song selections, Dario is the perfect combination of host and DJ. He’s thankfully not one of those annoying DJs who attempts to take over your wedding, but he knows how to make the introductions fun and how to get the crowd involved in an exciting bouquet toss. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, you can rely on DJ Dario for a perfect experience from beginning to end. He’s professional, organized, and personable, and he’ll make sure to fulfill any special requests or instructions you may have. There’s nobody else I would trust with such an important role on my wedding day. DJ DARIO is definitely the right choice for all your DJing needs!

DJ Dario helped pull our rather off beat wedding together and everyone from my grandmother to my dads coworkers to my friends had a fantastic time. Dario was very enthusiastic about what we wanted, worked with us and was just a dream to work with.

When we were looking for a DJ for our wedding, one of my friends highly recommended that we use DJ Dario. My friend has an extremely high expectations and only uses the best out there so I knew DJ Dario wouldn't disappoint. And he certainly didn't. From the first meeting to the end of the wedding, he was the most courteous and PROFESSIONAL person I've ever met. He offered to make us a "demo CD" just to give us a taste of the type and the style of songs he would be DJ-ing. Unlike most DJ's we've seen at other weddings where they just play any hit songs from their already prepared playlist, DJ Dario would feel and gauge the audience from the beginning and shaped the night and his song selection to what fits the best throughout the night. He didn't have any playlists and he had all the songs you can imagine on his repertoire. He also brought all his own equipment so there was minimal setup we needed to provide for him.

Our wedding was over 4 years ago and our friends STILL talk about how great our after party was and a HUGE part of that has to do with DJ Dario. Without a doubt, he's one of the best DJ's in the DC/MD/VA area. We loved him so much that when my sister-in-law got married, we insisted that they use DJ Dario and he totally rocked that night as well.

We recommend DJ Dario to everyone we know and I guarantee you that you will NOT be disappointed!

Dario was great for us - especially since we had an inter-racial wedding and he had to play multiple genres of music! In addition to the list of famous artists we asked him to download he went out of his way and researched his own music. Thanks so much!

Amazing! Dario kept us moving all night, literally. Not easy to do, since our guest were conservative and both family sides had never met. He even stayed later than we booked to keep the party going. Even though he was highly recommended by a friend, I was nervous about booking him because he hadn't been reviewed by wedding wire yet. But, he was great, showed up early, dressed impeccably, cool lighting, fun but not over the top and refreshing prices. His advertising does not do him justice. We could not be happier! Our guests are still talking about him! Thank you so much Dario! You made the night.
