About

Your wedding can be legendary when you enlist Collective DJs, a boutique service based outside Baltimore MD, to create a personalized music soundtrack based on your unique music preferences. You'll benefit from our experience playing hundreds of weddings throughout Baltimore, DC, and the surrounding areas and you'll be sure your wedding music will be the topic of conversation for the days, weeks, and even years after the festivities have ended. Whether your vision is an all-out dance party, a casual, chilled-out vibe, or something in between, we can make it happen! You simply pick your package based on your needs and if your vision changes, we are super flexible. We make it easy to check the wedding music off your list and turn your 'to-do' into 'Ta-Da'!

Amazing wedding DJ!

We had a great experience with DJ Carl. Carl DJ’d our wedding, and was incredibly helpful throughout the process in answering all of our questions. On the wedding day, he was professional and displayed a great instinct in knowing which of our favorite songs would get people on the dancefloor. We definitely made the right decision in picking our wedding DJ – highly recommended!

Life of the party

DJ Carl brought the party! We had a great time working with Carl for our wedding! His process to prep for the big day is so easy and efficient! He incorporated songs we love throughout the whole event and when the big day came we knew we had nothing to stress about. Dancing was my favorite part of the day!

Crazy fun dance party!

My husband and I were recommended DJ Carl by our venue and when we had our first phone call meeting with him I knew we had made the right choice- this guy knows his stuff and loves his job!!! He was very communicative and amenable- even when we threw last minute plans at him- like asking him to MC our shoe game and anniversary dance! Carl went with it and was a great MC!! When the dancing started, I don't think I ever sat down! He stuck to our playlists and the song choices he included to fill the gaps were great- everybody was on the dance floor having a great time! It was a night of dancing I will never forget. 10/10 recommend Carl- you won't regret it!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Carl and Leni are both amazing to work with! I have worked with a lot of DJ's over the years and they have come to be my first go to. Not only are they professional on the back end (emails, phone calls, planning, etc.), they are so much fun the day of your wedding! They don't steal the show but they makes sure your wedding runs smoothly, on time and they keep the dance floor packed!

We worked with Classic DJ's at a wedding in October of 2012. Even in the face of a very challenging reception timeline, and last minute changes, he was able to get the party started... THREE TIMES! The evening was such that the couple would want to dance for 20 minutes and then have everyone sit down for a performance. After each break in the flow of the dancing, Classic DJ's miraculously was able to revive the dancing each time. We were throughly impressed and got to benefit from it with a lot of great happy dancing photos.

Carl is a talented deejay and a wonderful person. He runs a great party and is more knowledgeable about music than anyone I know. I highly recommend him.
