Exclusively Entertainment

Words can’t express how grateful I am for Exclusively Entertainment, their fearless leader Iman, the Night Owl team, and of course the best DJ in the DMV - DJ SAAM! My advice to anyone in the wedding planning process, hire EE for literally anything you can and TRUST these professionals to do it better than you even thought you wanted. You get what you pay for in this industry and truly they are worth every penny and more! Don’t hesitate, if you want your wedding to be a night for your guests to remember, YOU WANT EE!

Around Fall 2019 I reached out to the EE team and secured them for our Oct 2020 wedding. I had been to so many weddings in the area over the years, and from a guest perspective, I knew if EE was a vendor, that wedding was going to FUN. But… then the pandemic hit! I moved our date three more times to March 2022. Each time, Iman figurately (I’m sure he would have done it literally if he could have!) held my hand as we figured it all out.

At one point I was hitting major planning fatigue and asked him about full time planning services. He connected us to basically a superhero in event planning (shout out to Poopak Patrice Golesorkhi of Events by P&G) that he has been in business with for decades. At every point of this process, it felt like the Iman and his team were as invested in my wedding as me, focused on making sure my vision came to life but also that what I wanted was realistic, and reasonable, and something my guests would enjoy. Their collaboration with my planner and my other vendors was awe inspiring to experience. When I say the BEST IN THE BUSINESS, I mean it! EE consistently gave me peace of mind, something invaluable when you’re trying to throw a wedding…during a pandemic!

DJ SAAM is one of the best DJs in the DC area. He headlines night clubs on the weekends and has performed at countless weddings. After our first meeting I remember him saying “if you want me to do my thing, you’re going to have to trust me” and he was SO right. That’s truly all you have to do. Tell him your favorite songs, he’ll play them! But he also scans the crowd all night to make sure he’s playing something for everyone! So inclusive I was blown away by the moves I saw on our dance floor from some of our shyer friends and family. DJ SAAM and all the lighting/sound techs turned my wedding into a night club! My guests (majority Persian and Black American) couldn’t stay away from the dance floor, with some of them telling me they felt like they were partying in Vegas or Miami!

We also hired the Night Owl team for videographer, and we are eagerly now waiting for our wedding video! But the experience, sharing our day so intimately with the team was an absolute pleasure. And WOW they got in deep on the dance floor with us to get shots that I know will be epic. I am so grateful for their energy on what was a very long wedding day.

I’ve been to so many weddings in the DMV and I knew that I wanted the best in the business for mine, but my expectations were beyond exceeded. I cannot forget to mention that my wedding day started with an unexpected snowstorm. Yes, the AMAZING EE team drove through a snowstorm to give me my wedding day. I am forever grateful!
