We worked with DJ Aaron Hahn. He was great! We gave him very little direction about musical choices hoping that he would be able to read the crowd better than us and make good decisions about what music would get people up and dancing. We said we liked motown and sinatra. Our party was hopping! We told him we wanted the dancefloor full and he kept it that way. It was a great party!

The Davis Event Group provided us with a great DJ on the second try. The first DJ we had issues with, but Jan and Rob made up for that DJ big time by giving me a discount and providing me with a new and awesome DJ. They were very responsive and got back to me right away with questions I had. They were great!

Jan Davis and our band Full Circle were amazing! We've gotten a million raving reviews about how awesome Full Circle was. Jan was great throughout the entire process. She gave candid opinions on the different bands based on my preferences. I would highly recommend getting in contact with Jan for your upcoming wedding.

Jan Davis Entertainment and Events were wonderful to work with! They really listened to me and our needs. After contacting a few other companies, and not finding what I wanted, I turned to Jan who suggested the perfect band for us on the first try! Jan made our decision really easy...she was quick to respond, easy to work with and flexible. The band we selected was fantastic! We received so many compliments from our guests on how talented and fun they were. They really turned our wedding reception up a notch! I couldn't be happier! I highly recommend Jan for all of your wedding and event entertainment needs.

Our DJ was Aaron Hahn. All I wanted for our wedding was for people to be on the dance floor having a great time, and Aaron made that possible. He met with us and gave us much needed guidance on our schedule and potential music selections, putting us at ease about the day. The day-of, he helped us with our processional, kept us on schedule, and he played the best music that kept the dance floor jumping throughout the night. We felt so fortunate to have him as our DJ and received a ton of compliments. Aaron was great!

Black Tie was fantastic. We had a very wide age range of people at our wedding including children, twenty somethings, and a few from the Greatest Generation. Black Tie provided three hours of non stop music and the dance floor was never empty. We had only one problem that evening: the bar bill exceed my budget many time over...BUT IT WAS WORTH IT. My daughter called her evening the "Magical Perfect Night"

Jan Davis was a PLEASURE to work with from start to finish! I reached out to Jan while searching for a band for my wedding, and she helped me find and secure the perfect band/DJ combination (Prime Time) -- they were amazing, and all of my guests are still raving about them! She also coordinated a fabulous pianist for my cocktail hour.

I can't emphasize enough how great Jan was to work with. She was so helpful, always responsive, and quick to address and answer any question I had! I would recommend her to anyone!

DJ Mike Blaufield was fantastic! We were extremely pleased with his professionalism and willingness to give us exactly what we wanted for both our ceremony and reception music. He was very patient, responsive and had a great personality. Mike made my husband and I feel at ease and confident that all would go smoothly on our big day and it did!! We debated a band versus DJ for a while and we're so happy we went with Mike! We highly recommend him!

We hired Jan Davis Entertainment to provide the ceremony music, cocktail music and DJ music for our daughter's wedding held at GW River Farm. They were wonderful to deal with from start to finish.

We first hired DJ Mike Blaufeld. Mike is classy, responsive, and very professional and really knows his music. We contacted some other DJs and you just got the sense they were not very professional. You had the feeling you might hire them, maybe they would show, maybe not, or maybe they would send someone else the day of the wedding. We wanted to know who would be there on the day of the wedding.

From the minute we talked with Mike we knew he was the real deal. My daughter and her fiancé met with him and other DJs and there was no question who they wanted – DJ Mike. My daughter’s husband is himself an amateur DJ and knew immediately DJ Mike was who he wanted for the reception.

Mike made them feel comfortable right away and helped them with the overall planning – the dance sequence, who was to be introduced, when etc. Mike served as the MC for the evening and was wonderful. There was not one slip the entire evening. It is hard to get everything to run so smoothly and this is totally thanks to all of the preparations DJ Mike did before the wedding with my daughter and her now husband. We could not have asked for more.

The next day at the Sunday Wedding Brunch that was all anyone could talk about – what a great time they had dancing and how great the music was. Mike had a lot of competition with a gorgeous outdoor setting with a full moon overlooking the Potomac, But his music kept pulling everyone inside to the ballroom and they ended up “literally dancing in the windows,” behind shades, in front of shades. It was hilarious for all to see. Best entertainment of the night. Without a doubt some of the best photos and the video will be of the girls and guys up in the 5 huge windows dancing to DJ Mike’s music.

They also said how they liked that he did not talk and monopolize the time. He just played great music continuously, seamlessly having developed the music selections earlier with the bride and groom. Quite a wonderful, fun a night thanks to Mike!

Late in the wedding planning process, we again contacted Jan Davis as my daughter decided they did want ceremony music. We really did not know what to even ask for at that point. I dealt with Juleen Stacy who was wonderful. Through asking us a serious of questions she figured out what we wanted/needed & booked a fantastic group for us – Bruce Middle Group.

My daughter and her fiancé gave the final approval and worked with Bruce Middle and Juleen on the music selections. The group played before the ceremony, processional music and even sang. It was simply wonderful. The day was extremely hot and we had many guests commenting on how they were enjoying the music so much while waiting for the ceremony to begin that the heat was not a big issue. They also played afterwards during cocktail hour and again were wonderful. We feel very fortunate to have booked them thanks to Juleen’s help.

We are so glad we went with Jan Davis Entertainment. They are extremely nice to work with and we can recommend them highly.

We are SO happy we hired Jan Davis Entertainment for our wedding. We left finding a DJ to the last minute, as I was not sure I wanted one...having been to several weddings where the DJ totally ruined the vibe and did not listen to the bride/groom/wedding party regarding what music they wanted to hear. However, my fiance finally convinced me....and after interviewing a few companies around town, we settled on JDE (mostly based on their much more competitive price, and our discussion with Juleen, who was so much more laid-back than many of the other DJs/companies I talked to who were very "in-your-face" and even arrogant). Juleen at Jan Davis was extremely accommodating and helpful - recommending DJ Steve, after talking to us about what we wanted for our wedding.

DJ Steve was FABULOUS! Despite the short timeline before our wedding (we hired him 3 weeks before the date!) - he met with us on a Saturday at our house, talking through the kind of music we wanted, the vibe, etc. He was very professional, extremely cool, and we felt 100% confident that he would deliver what we wanted - and he absolutely did! There was never a lag on the dance floor - it was pumping all night, because he gauged the mood of our guests perfectly - switching between genres of music seemlessly (from Motown and oldies for the parents, to some fun cheesy 80s, to Top 40 dance tunes, to salsa/merengue, and even blending in some international music that I had provided him on a CD). Steve's Serato Scratch Live technology is also super-cool....I had fun guessing what song he was transitioning to, and it provided for an almost performance-like atmosphere. Everyone commented on how amazing the DJ was - and he did an extra encore set of songs at the very end of the night as people just did not want to leave the dance floor. Steve also provided the music for our ceremony, which was perfect.

I definitely recommend Jan Davis Entertainment. As I said above, I talked to several other companies who were charging more than 300% of what JDE charged me. So between JDE's value for cost, Juleen's professionalism and accommodating treatment of us, and the unbelievable party that DJ Steve provided for us - you would be hard-pressed to find better people to work with for your wedding.

Jan Davis was absolutely fantastic. We had a limited budget and they worked with us and found exactly the type of band we had wanted, at the budget we requested. So professional, so easy for us to plan, and I can only but reccomend them to all who wish to have a great band for a special event. The band was so professional also. I could not have wished for more.

Jan Davis was wonderful. We had DJ Steve who provided us with exactly the vibe we wanted to have at our wedding. People were on the dance floor all night long. We got several compliments on what an amazing DJ we had. He was not cheesy or showy, but spoke when he needed to, was super cool and seemed into his job, which was great to see.
