About

"Raging Dance Party" is DJ Maskell's style; always beatmatching and mixing on the turntables while reading the crowd and amplifying the atmosphere using the 66+ uplights (included free with all weddings) to deliver a room-filling dynamic light show that is actively driven by DJ Maskell to ramp up the intensity of the party.

His style stems from a background in DC nightclubs and 21+ years of wedding experience, but his expertise extends far beyond simply rocking the party. DJ Maskell has worked extensively as a wedding planner and coordinator and works closely with clients to ensure that every detail is meticulously plotted out so that the day flows smoothly.

Day-of coordination assistance

In the absence of a dedicated day-of coordinator, DJ Maskell works very closely with clients in the weeks and months leading up to the wedding to fill in the gaps by plotting out the day-of logistics in extensive detail, coordinating with other vendors, then executing on the day-of. DJ Maskell will also help you to organize, track, idiot-proof, and delegate certain tasks that a coordinator would normally handle, such as setup, decor, and cleanup.

DJ Maskell is fully vaccinated and boosted.

Mark is amazing!

We booked Mark to DJ on our wedding day, but he did so much more than that. We didn’t have a coordinator, as it was a smaller wedding, so Mark stepped up and essentially acted as the coordinator. We had several zoom calls leading up to the wedding to touch base and run through everything. He offered a ton of good advice and details we wouldn’t have thought of. He came a day early to set up all of his stuff, so that the wedding day would be smoother and less stressful. He is energetic and upbeat, which was much needed during all the emotional tears throughout the day. The lighting/light show was beyond incredible for the dance party, photos couldn’t do it justice. He played all of our must-play songs, and definitely got the vibe of what music we like for other moments. He is very self-sufficient with travel and set up, which is a huge relief when having to manage everything else. He has a wealth of knowledge in the wedding space, extremely attentive to detail, and can do it all. He really cares about your wedding day being the best it can be. Highly recommend using Mark!

Best DJ Ever!!!

Hiring Mark was the best thing we could have ever done for our wedding on 9/21/24 at Riverside on the Potomac! We got so many compliments about our DJ during and after our wedding, and we had a full dance floor the entire night. We had multiple conversations with Mark leading up to the wedding, and he was extremely helpful with our timeline and overall relieved our stress. His light system was insanely cool, and it's awesome how passionate Mark is about what he does. Highly highly recommend!

Mvp of our wedding!

Mark was hands down THE best part of our wedding! He was so helpful during the whole planning process. Any questions we had he gave us the best advice. He doubles down as a “Day of Coordinator” as well, making sure the timeline is down to a tee. The lights he set up in our reception was like nothing I’ve seen at any other wedding. He even had us throw down on the turntable and it was such a fun and unique moment that everyone loved!! It really was electric during party time! Mark is also so friendly and personable. He was our favorite vendor to work with.
My advice is to stop scrolling now and BOOK THIS MAN for your wedding!!! You will not regret it.
THANK YOU MARK FOR THE BEST DAY EVER!!!!
