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.
