District DJ is an experienced wedding DJ company that services D.C., Maryland, Virginia & beyond.
Background
My career started with the owner of a local DJ company, who heard me making announcements at a local Sheetz gas station. She came up to me and said, “Hey buddy, I believe you’re in the wrong business, you should come work with me.” (yes, seriously - can’t make this stuff up). I quickly began training and shadowing other DJs at the company, at the ripe 'ole age of 19 years. A few years later I moved to DC and started working for WeddingWire, which helped me gain even more insight into the events industry, ESPECIALLY weddings. After all of these amazing experiences, I built up the courage to start my own company - - - District DJ.
I love people and thrive off of their energy, which I return in kind. As a DJ, my greatest satisfaction comes from watching people on the dance floor moving with the music, it is truly satisfying to see people having an amazing time with friends and family.
When I'm not DJing, I enjoy blasting 90s & early 00s jams, playing video games (Warzone anyone?), visiting breweries/wineries, and hanging out with friends. Even though I’m a DJ, going to live music shows is one of my favorite things to do.
You can learn a lot about me from the amazing people that have left me reviews over the years (13 years and counting). If you are interested in having me as your DJ or one of the other awesome DJs on our team, let’s chat. We can meet over coffee and/or drinks. Your safety is my priority, so phone calls and/or video chats are available as well. Looking forward to hearing from you, talk soon!

Highly Recommended
Jon was friendly, professional, responsive, a great emcee, and a terrific DJ. We gave Jon a sample of the type of music we wanted for our reception and he came fully prepared to deliver exactly that. When we got to the venue, Jon was already all set up and ready to go. He did a great job of reading the room and keeping the dance floor moving. Working with Jon was easy and stress-free. We highly recommend him.

Amazing DJ! Hire him!
We had a wonderful experience working with Jon & District DJ. We booked him largely because we “liked his vibe” and honestly his vibe was amazing right up until the sparkler exit. He’s a super nice guy. Very easy to talk to. Very easy to reach and communicate with during the planning process. Clearly knows his stuff when it comes to weddings and was very helpful and informative throughout the planning process while still giving us plenty of creative freedom to plan the night exactly how we wanted. He was super flexible with our pandemic changes in plans and was able to add a livestream for guests who wanted to join virtually. Our guest list was cut in half due to covid and he still kept the dance floor alive and well throughout the night. Cannot recommend him enough!!

Great DJ! Hire today!
We had Jon as our DJ and he was awesome! He gave us online planning form in order to keep all the songs organized which was very helpful! I did not hire a wedding planner only a day of coordinator, so I didn’t realize how many songs needed to be selected! We also had a phone call a few weeks prior to the wedding to confirm music selections and review any outstanding questions. He kept everyone on the dance floor and all our friends have commented about how great our DJ was! Highly recommend. Pro Tip: he does great Intros too which not many do and even provided a clip. I promise you won’t be sorry when you hire his company!!
