About

My name is DJ Mova and I am an independent, full-service luxury entertainment vendor based and operating out of the Washington DC Metropolitan area, providing professional disc jockey services worldwide. Clients can enjoy all of the benefits and qualities of working with a larger event firm (event insurance, planning resources, industry best equipment, etc), but on a much more personalized basis. I strive to create a flexible 1-on-1 experience, building a relationship along the way to successfully navigate the wedding planning process.

Allow me to explain. I present a modern approach to planning weddings that can be as hands-on or hands-off as clients would like. I provide clients with an extremely thorough planning resource that breaks down timeline strategies with emphasis on streamlining key moments and maximizing the party. Everything from the music selection, mixing style, and overall dynamic will be uniquely tailored to ensure that I capture what you envision.

With all of that said, let's break some of the norms that are associated with wedding entertainment. Hate line dances? Me too. My particular niche is to bring what you would expect on a night out to the wedding atmosphere. Wedding receptions don't have to be typical and it's certainly okay to be different. I fully support pushing the boundaries to plan a party... that is actually a party!

Sax Player review

I’ve performed with Ramin just under 2 years now and he has become a good friend in the process. As a musician who plays with DJs all the time, we always appreciate when the DJ genuinely enjoys performing with us. It makes a huge difference at weddings on the dance floor. Every wedding event I’ve done with Ramin has been an amazing time. Great energy throughout the entire night. He communicates well with his clients and pays attention to the details. You can’t miss with him!

Highly recommend for your wedding!

We couldn’t have asked for better entertainment for our wedding. Ramin went above and beyond for us from start to finish. He is incredibly detail-oriented, organized, and made sure everything flowed seamlessly throughout the entire event. The music, timing, and overall energy were perfect, and it truly elevated our wedding experience. Beyond his professionalism, Ramin was a genuine pleasure to work with on a personal level. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ who truly cares and delivers an exceptional experience

Speechless at how amazing Ramin is!

Ramin went above and beyond his role of DJ/Emcee for us - we are SO thankful for him. He gave us honest advice and really looked out for us as we planned our wedding from the beginning. We trusted him immediately after our first conversation. He is also extremely responsive - much more than other vendors in the industry, and he is always there to answer questions. Coming to our wedding weekend, which was a fusion Indian wedding, Ramin put extra time and effort into researching the cultural aspects of our wedding to ensure he catered his service to our events. On top of all of this, he is detail-oriented, knows how to read a room, and is such a hype man with crazy good energy. Our dance floor was POPPING thanks to him. He even planned a "bottle service" surprise for us o the reception dance floor, which blew us and our guests away. We absolutely love Ramin and would recommend him wholeheartedly to everyone!!!!

Best DJ Ever!

Ramin brings the positive vibes and electric energy you want at your wedding! He’s very detail oriented, making sure to go over every aspect of the ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and everything down to the transitions between songs if you want to. He’ll spend as much time as you need with you and will even meet with you while on vacation with this family. If you’re not sure about what kind of music to play during dinner or what are popular first dance songs, don’t worry. Ramin can easily draw on his years of experience and fill in the blanks wherever you need him to. He provided all the mics, speakers and uplighting we needed and handled all the audio from the ceremony to the last song of the night. One nice touch was that he took a beautiful picture during our ceremony and displayed it on his DJ Booth for the rest of the night. We also wrote a script for the wedding party introductions and he performed it spectacularly! He had everyone on the dancefloor from kids to grandparents. We’ve had countless people tell us he was the best DJ ever! If you’re looking for a DJ to hype up the crowd, handle all of your audio needs, and make sure the dancefloor is poppin, Ramin is your man!

Provided the Tulum vibes all night!

My company, Honey & Lavender Events, had the pleasure of working with DJ Mova for a Summer Nights private party. The theme was Tulum after Dark, and Ramin provided the best soundtrack for the entire night! Guests were nonstop dancing the whole time, and had the best time dancing to house music. Ramin even stayed an extra hour to keep the vibes going! In the weeks leading up to the event, the planning and coordination were seamless. Ramin was responsive, professional, and even came out to the venue to talk through technical logistics and the setup beforehand to ensure a successful night, which goes above and beyond customer service! We cannot thank Ramin enough, and we cannot wait to partner for the next one! Hire DJ Mova for your next social event, corporate party, or wedding! You won't be disappointed!

The best decision of our wedding day

If you’re looking for a sign to hire DJ Mova for your wedding….. consider this it. We could not have asked for a better DJ for our wedding. From the very beginning, he was professional, responsive, and so easy to work with. He seriously took the time to get to know my husband and I during wedding planning and was there to help with anything we needed. He took so much time to understand our music preferences and played the perfect songs to keep the dance floor alive all night. He truly read our crowd and played the right tunes to keep everyone happy and dancing! I should also mention his DJ booth is PERFECTION and he even uploaded a photo from our ceremony to have on his DJ booth when guests entered our reception. Our guests were wowed!!! So many of our guests told us how much fun they had at our wedding, and that’s in large part thanks to DJ Mova. If you’re looking for someone who’s talented, organized, and passionate about what they do, look no further. Thank you DJ Mova!!!!!

Amazing wedding DJ!

From our first chat to the last dance, Ramin was professional, responsive, and truly attentive to our vision. During one of our planning sessions he helped us curate a timeline of the day, even the parts that he was not directly involved with. He did an amazing job blending our favorite songs with crowd-pleasers, and kept the energy high all night. Our dance floor never emptied, and we received nonstop compliments. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience—highly recommended!”

DJ Mova is best of the best

DJ Mova had been a DJ at 2 weddings we attended and knew he had to DJ ours too. With a 300+ wedding of Greeks/Italians he knew how to keep the party GOING till 1:00 am.. from air cannons, to fire buttons, and day of edit of our day on his screen. You will not be disappointed in your party vibe. DJ MOVA IS THE BEST and we can't thank him enough for making our day that much more special.

Best DJ Ever!

Could not have made a better decision than hiring DJ Mova! He is so thorough and worked with us even though we were super busy with a newborn and never had anything done (lol). We did the CO2 package and it was a huge hit. Everything from the mixes, to the lighting, to the announcements he made and helping with the sound were perfect. We had SO MANY of our guests comment it was the best dj they’ve seen at a wedding. He even customized the artwork on the dj booth with our name and then added a picture he took from the ceremony himself so it was already up for reception! 10/10 recommend :)

Truly the highlight of our wedding

You can stop your search. You have found your DJ. I cannot begin to express how important Ramin was to our wedding.. not only was he the most complemented vendor of our entire evening but people are still talking about how much fun they had and how they literally didn’t leave the dance floor. He somehow catered to our full audience of guests while still staying close to my requested vibe / inspo playlists. But don’t be confused - he is not a typical DJ and didn’t just hit play and let the night roll. He was live mixing - on the spot- making sure any song he was going to drop in next was going to be well received by the crowd. And he didn’t miss. Aside from the most professional experience, including hours of calls and conversations about the venue, setup, timeline, moments we wanted highlighted, etc. I seriously felt like Ramin spent half the time just wanted to truly get to know us, he honestly became a friend. He made us feel like he cared about us and making our night special and made us feel so loved on our wedding and all the days leading up to it. 🤍
