About

Hello and thanks for visiting my page! My name is Dj Gene Griffin and I have been Djing in the Metropolitan Washington DC area for 20 years. I started djing as a hobby around 1992 and completed my first wedding shortly after. I also started running Karaoke when it was still hard to pronounce and even harder to spell. Some notable venues are Oldies Music Legends, Otooles, Shade Tree, Bar Louie and countless others. Since that time I have performed at countless events and for every reason imaginable. I specialize in large events and weddings but do regular shows in the NOVA area to keep up with the flow. Below is sort of a biography of what I do and other Info. My prices for Dj/Kj range from 200-500 per hour. I am very reasonable and will work with most peoples budgets if you are up front with me. I have a network of entertainers that might just fit your budget or style so dont be shy and ask away. I am a professional mobile disc jockey, with over 25 years of experience that has performed at well over 2000 weddings, private parties, and corporate events. I provide the best equipment money can buy and always have backups to insure the party will go on. I can provide generators upon request also. The Audio and Lighting Equipment I provide is as follows: Rane One Controllers Virtual Dj software EV Speakers Chauvet Lighting Both Uplighting I am serving VA, MD, DC, PA, NC, SC, KY, TN, and OH. Travel arrangements and housing charges for out-of-state gigs are applicable over 50 miles from home office. In addition to weddings, private parties, and corporate events. I also DJ sweet 16 parties, birthdays, anniversaries, Carolina shag events, hand dance events, country line dance events, and any reason you can possibly think of to have a party. I have the unique ability to play music for a wide variety of people and age groups. I am always looking for new music and dusting off old classics that get your head nodding and your toes tapping. Thanks for looking at my profile, and good luck finding the right person for your next event. DJ Gene Griffin

Gene was magic

Gene was amazing ! He was so communicative through the whole process and we just knew he would deliver. And HE DID ! I appreciate that he let us drive the music selection ( and he understood our wheelhouse well ) but there were songs we wanted played as nods for certain guests. He also provided a safety net should we want or need it and given his reputation, I had no concerns. My personal favorite was his creative idea for my wedding walk song and I melted and knew we had the right DJ. Gene brought his magic to my wedding and I am so very thankful my stepdaughter referred him to us =)

Very easy to work with Gene listened to what I wanted and needed. I have used him for several different events. Always punctual, respectful, the best

I have used Gene on several different occasions he is always very easy to work with. He is the best around, he knows his audience and how to interact with them and to get the crowd moving and grooving, he knows how to keep the party going. I can’t speak highly enough of him !!!

He brings the party !

Gene did an amazing job sitting down with us and understanding the kind of music we wanted played and helped us pick out the wedding songs.

They day of the wedding has arrived and let’s just say every some was played right on time for the ceremony and made it smooth !

So now we are here at the reception and let me just tell you he knows how to get anyone and everyone up out of the seat and dancing! His range of music was endless and all of the transitions flowed well. He made sure everyone was having a good time!

I had several compliments about his DJing and everyone wanted his information so they could book him for their events. Let’s just say he was the life of the wedding and I would without a doubt book him again !

Our Wedding

After 16 years, I still get calls asking for DJ Gene’s contact info. Our ceremony, and reception were amazing. DJ Gene played to our guests and had everyone on the dance floor. He entertained for my sons wedding a few years ago and so many people complimented on his professional, knowledgeable demeanor. Best DJ hands down.

My restaurant/bar's DJ for 7 years

DJ Gene has played at my location for 7 years. He is amazing! When we re-opened after the pandemic,
we couldn't wait to have him back! He reads the crowd, knows what they'll like and gets EVERYONE out of their chair. His equipment is top notch, which makes the ambiance even better! You WILL NOT be disappointed!
