Everyone loved the DJ!

We have been to several weddings where there would be points no one would be dancing. That was not the case at all with Crescendo. The dance floor was packed all night. They knew what to play and when, and the drums added so much more to the experience. The were very professional from the beginning to the end, and everyone kept saying how awesome they were. If you're having a wedding in the Delaware, Maryland, or southern PA area you need to seriously consider making Crescendo your DJ. I couldn't recommend them enough.

First and Best Choice We Made for Our Wedding

Even before my wife and I got married, I told her I wanted a DJ and a drummer at the wedding. We'd been to one before and it blew my mind, and fortunately she too was a convert! Once we locked in the venue in Delaware and began searching for vendors, I soon found Douglass and Jason at Crescendo DJ and Drums, a Delaware-based DJ/drummer combo.

Douglass was extremely responsive, and after an initial call to discuss the usual stuff (dates, location, etc.), I knew we had found our team. Douglass works closely with you to figure out the vibe of your wedding and what kind of songs you're hoping to hear on your big day. Being from South Texas, for our wedding it was critical that we play at least a couple of tracks by Selena and UGK, and Douglass and Jason made sure that happened!

For those of you who've never had the opportunity to experience this in person, I can totally understand your hesitancy. The first thing people would ask us when we told them we'd have a DJ and a drummer was, "...interesting! I can't really picture it." I played drums in high school and college, so I appreciate seeing a drummer like Jason killing it to my favorite songs. But during and after the wedding, these same people were coming up to us saying, "I know I said I wasn't sure about the DJ and drummer before, but this is amazing!" Crescendo DJ and Drums combines the best of both worlds: the intensity that comes with live bands performing in front of an audience with the freedom and flexibility to play a variety of music that only a DJ can really bring to the table.

Our wedding went off without a hitch, and Douglass and Jason played a HUGE part in making our night one for us, but more importantly our guests, to remember. Choosing Crescendo DJ and Drums as our music vendor was, hands down, one of the BEST wedding decisions we made this past year. 11/10, 5 stars, no notes, can't recommend enough!

Best wedding DJ!!!!

Doug and his drummer were absolutely incredible for our wedding! Everyone was on the dance floor the entire time! We keep getting people asking us about them and saying how good they were. They truly understood what we wanted for our wedding and we’re on the same page as us for everything. They are also both great guys. Can’t say enough good things about them! Having the drummer/dj made the songs sound really cool and was a great option to make the music sound live. If you haven’t booked music for your wedding yet book crescendo!!

A Full Dance Floor!

Crescendo did a fantastic job with our wedding reception at Baywood Greens Clubhouse! A professional emcee, skilled DJ, and a tireless drummer kept our guests on the dance floor for 4 hours! Think about that. Loud, clear music and beautiful uplighting ignited the whole room. We made the right choice with these guys. Thank you, Glenn, Doug, and Jason for helping us to celebrate our wedding day!

Gratefully,

Eddie & Angi

Exactly what we wanted!!

Glenn and his crew did an amazing job! Not only did they read the crowd perfectly and keep everyone up and dancing the entire time, but they were able to wow the crowd with their unique qualities as a MC, dj and drummer combo. My guests talked for weeks about how amazing they were. Glenn is so nice and great to work with leading up to your event. He does everything he can to make sure it suits your vision. He is very professional and this shows during their time on stage and prior to dancing with announcements and introductions. I would 100% book them over and over again! If you want a dj, but would like to have the feel of live entertainment as well, they are the perfect fit for you!

Perfect alternative to a live band

I highly recommend Crescendo! I was so glad when I found them because of their unique setup of DJ, Drummer and Emcee combo. Live bands create a fun and upbeat dance vibe, but really add to the expense of a wedding and aren’t the best at emceeing. Crescendo allowed us to pick any song we wanted, and the drums provided the live instrument part for a reasonable price. Guests were really impressed with their flow and music selection.

Glenn, the emcee, is professional & reliable, and kept my wedding running smoothly and on time. It’s exactly what you need to feel stress-free and have fun during your wedding.
