We booked a wonderful harpist with Jan Davis for our ceremony. Even though there was a minor issue (on their end) with the first harpist scheduled to play at our wedding, they were quick in letting us know the problem and already had another harpist lined up for us. Very professional and great communication!

We worked with Juleen Stacy of Jan Davis. She was wonderful to work with. We were looking for a truly unique wedding band and she found us the Jangling Reinharts from Jan's sister agency, Sam Hill. Juleen was great at listening to what we wanted and finding a great band. She also booked us a string trio that was lovely and advised us on the schedule for the wedding day.
As for the band, The Jangling Reinharts... They are the most awesome wedding band ever! We wanted a band that played cool cover songs, classic rock and got the crowd moving and they more than exceeded our expectations. They played everything from The Beatles to Journey to Guns N'Roses. Everyone was up on the dance floor the whole night and I would say the band (along with our excellent venue) was the key to our completely awesome wedding. I can't recommend them enough-- and their prices were much more reasonable than most of the stuffy, "wedding bands" in DC. We haven't stopped getting complements on the band.

We were fortunate to find DJ Mike to mc our beach wedding ceremony and reception at Rehoboth Beach this past July. His extreme professionalism, flexibility and overall quality of service was outstanding. He took care of everything including setting up music and mics on the beach for our ceremony. DJ Mike welcomed the daunting task of melding our varied musical tastes, ranging from country to hiphop, to satisfy our family and friends from age 2 to age 90. He worked with us to include our taste in music, suggested perfect selections for us when needed, and also kept the party going and guests dancing at the reception. We were most impressed by his thorough preparation and communication with us prior to the big day. We highly recommend DJ Mike for his outstanding DJ service. He was a pleasure to work with and certainly provided a memory that exceeded our expectations. Thanks again Mike!

Jan was super responsive and provided us with many great DJ's to choose from. All of her staff were wonderful to work with through the contracting process and her DJ was very accommodating of all of our wishes. We would use Jan and her DJ's again in a heartbeat.

I have nothing but huge accolades for DJ Mike! Our wedding was a cold, rainy November evening, and DJ Mike helped make it the party of the year. You name it (age, background, musical taste), they were dancing. The dance floor was packed all night, and not because of cheesy songs (YMCA, Macarena, etc, which I placed on my "do not play" list and which DJ Mike completely respected), but because DJ Mike has an amazing ability to read a crowd and figure out what will get people out on the dance floor. The dinner hour music was awesome (sort of Sinatra "plus") and then the dancing was fantastic.... a mix of just great dance music plus some stuff he really tailored for our preferences and for our guests. DJ Mike is fabulous and will make your wedding (or whatever event) fantastic!!

DJ Mike was fantastic! He was extremely professional and responsive from start to finish! It was a pleasure working with him, the initial consultation was great. We exchanged creative ideas. We benefited from his guidance and working knowledge. He kept communication open at all times by sending a friendly email or phone call. At the reception, our entire group of 150 guest were on the dance floor, thanks to DJ Mike. With over 25 introductions of a diverse group, DJ Mike was committed to the correct pronunciations of everyones names. This ensured each of our attendants was given the proper recognition and thanks for celebrating our special days with us! The selection of music was well suited for a wedding. He catered to all our needs. The quality he offers was well worth the affordable price! THANK YOU SOO MUCH DJ MIKE!!!

The service is fantastic and you have a wide variety of DJ's to choose from based on price, etc. We used DJ Rob and he was amazing. I was very nervous that any DJ we booked would be on the mic too much and make it super cheesy. This was not the case at all. He was very good about slipping in to the background. I gave him some guidance but for the most part it was he who selected the music based on what people were dancing to and not dancing to. Jan herself is extremely professional and is always on top of everything. I highly recommend this vendor.

Jan Davis Entertainment helped set us up with someone who fit our needs, DJ Mike. We are so grateful because DJ Mike was AMAZING. He was a totally friendly guy and very professional. He took our requests very seriously and also made good recommendations to us about how to structure our reception, how much music could be played, and how to get people dancing, all of which made the reception flow very smoothly. Our friends and family told us that the reception was one if not the best that they had ever attended, and DJ Mike was a great reason for this! The dance floor was packed the whole night and after we left, my dad had to pay DJ Mike to stay another hour or so above and beyond our contract because people were having so much fun! He has a great personality, very tactful, enthusiastic and optimistic. He also worked directly with our reception venue to work out the technical set-up details which made it easy for us. His style is to be the unobtrusive backbone of the happiness and fun of your special night. All in all he is awesome and I would highly recommend him and Jan Davis Entertainment!

We were extremely happy with Jan Davis Entertainment and DJ Mike. Jan made everything so easy and pleasant, it had to be the easiest decision of the wedding. Mike was fantastic, kept people entertained and was very responsive and sensitive to request by the bride. We even had him do the announcing which was a day of change, and he no problem and did a great job.
If you have a wedding approaching, give these guys a call, you won't regret it.

We found Encore at a bridal showcase at the Patriot Center and were instantly impressed. We decided to go through Jan Davis instead of Washington Talent because on the whole she just seemed to be more responsive, and thought that the price was very reasonable given that we got a seven-piece band for four hours of dancing. Jan was friendly and very helpful at getting everything set up with the band.
As for Encore, they were fantastic. As a musician I was pretty picky about the band choice (finding a good female vocalist is particularly tricky) but they did not disappoint! Everyone loved their energy (the singers all mingled with the guests while performing) and their renditions of all the songs were great. They even learned our first dance song and accompanied me while I performed for my new husband :)
I highly recommend both Encore and Jan Davis Entertainment!

Jan Davis Entertainment is hands down the BEST vendor for anyone searching for wedding entertainment. After searching for multiple vendors to provide music for my ceremony and reception, I came to the conclusion that there was no one out there that could provide me with exactly what I wanted for my wedding until I stumbled upon Jan Davis Entertainment. Being in the Military and stationed oversees the time window for planning a wedding in the United States was very small. I explained my difficult sitiuation to Jan and told her exactly what I envisioned for my wedding. Needless to say Jan flawlessly accomodated all my needs within minutes. Not only did Jan provide me with one of the best DJs in the Washington D.C. area (Mike), but she also provided me with an exceptional Trio for my wedding ceremony. Jan Davis Entertainment deserves all the accolades in the world by making my wedding the most exciting and festive occasion to be remembered for years to come. Once again THANK YOU JAN!

I worked with Juleen Stacy and she was terrific and was able to give us live music at my wedding AND kept it within our tight budget. Juleen was also easy to get a hold of whenever I had any questions.
We had a lovely harpist and flautist for the ceremony and then had Barry Gurley at our reception.
They were all just wonderful -Barry kept it going and everyone loved how they sounded! A class act all the way! They even accommodated my request for me to sing a special song right before our first dance - I was even able to rehearse with Barry at his local gig on a couple of nights.
No hassles, very straight forward and very easy to deal with - they were always on top of what needed to happen
A class act all the way!

I would wholeheartedly recommend Jan Davis!! Jan is amazingly upbeat & sweet & really cares about making you feel like your wedding is the only one that matters. Kevin was an amazing DJ- he made our night perfect!! We had people from ages 10 to 70 dancing and singing all night long!! When we were looking for a DJ Kevin came out to our local coffee shop at the best time for us (9PM but he was completely flexible and had no problem coming out!) & we liked him right off the bat. He wasn't pushy or obnoxious like some other DJs we spoke with; he made us comfortable & really took the time to get to know us & the kind of wedding we both hoped for. He only does one wedding a day which turned out to be very important as we had some serious last-minute reshuffling of timing & he came out an hour early with additional outdoor equipment with no problem! He wasn’t one of those obnoxious Djs who turns the whole night into a lame comedy routine or one of those guys that’s really stuffy or bored. His upbeat attitude & amazing song selection really made our night. We still have people telling us that we threw a great party-not just a nice wedding, but a great party, which is exactly what we wanted.
