DJ, Photo Booth & Uplighting – All in One Place!

Hey there! If you’re planning a wedding and want good vibes, fun music, and some unforgettable moments - Fes Hat Entertainment has you covered. I’m DJ Jaafar, and I’ve been DJing weddings for over 8 years all around DC, Maryland, and Virginia.

I do more than just show up and play a playlist—I work with each couple to really understand their style and what kind of music they want on their big day. Everyone’s different, and that’s what makes it fun! I usually ask couples to make a Spotify playlist with their favorite songs, and then I mix that in with songs I know will fit their vibe and keep the party going.

And yes, I’m totally open to taking requests during the wedding (as long as the couple is cool with it!). I want you and your guests to have the best time, so I do everything I can to make sure the music feels personal and just right.

Here’s what we offer:

🎧 DJ Services – All the hits, your favorite songs, and the right mix to keep the dance floor packed.
📝 Custom Playlist Planning – We’ll plan together, blend your favorites with mine, and make it feel like you.
⚙️ Setup & Support – We’re there early, get everything ready, and make sure it all runs smooth.

If you're looking for someone who really listens, gets your style, and wants your wedding to feel like you, let’s talk. I’d love to hear about your plans and help create something special!

Great Dj, great music!

Created a very enjoyable experience for me and my family during brunch. I highly recommend booking him for your next function. He played everything from Top 40 to hip-hop and R&B. Did not disappoint.

Best wedding/event DJ in DC!

Jaafar was amazing to work with and really made our wedding so much more fun! Throughout the entire process from the moment we first spoke, we knew Jaafar and Fes Hat would elevate our night! He helped us plan out our music and make sure we had great song choices for everything; Jaafar even created a brilliant mash up for the father/daughter dance! I cannot recommend Fes Hat enough and have received so many compliments on the music since our event.

Awesome DJ

Jafaar did a great job helping us out through the planning stages by giving us song suggestions and running through the timeline for the day. On the wedding day he kept people out on the dance floor by doing a fantastic job mixing music that was fun to dance to. I am glad we had him as our DJ and would highly recommend him as a wedding DJ.

Saved the day

Our original DJ canceled 4 days before our wedding and recommended Jaafar as a replacement. We are beyond thankful that Jaafar immediately reached out and set up a meeting with us. He was so easy to work with, by the time the wedding day arrived we felt we had been working with him the entire time. He executed everything perfectly for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Our guests stated it was the best cocktail and dinner music they ever experienced at a wedding! Our dance floor was packed before the dance party time of the reception officially began, and stayed packed until the last song. Our guest enjoyed every moment of the dance party and song selection. Jaafar was given little guidance by us in music selection and was able to read the room and play the all the songs that kept people dancing. We will be recommending Jaafar to all our friends and family for weddings and my office for future business events.

Great vibes and a great party with DJ Jaafar!

Jaafar was excellent. We went to a friend’s wedding where he DJ’d and my wife and I knew right away that we wanted him to DJ our wedding. He was extremely responsive, flexible, and so nice. Good music is the cornerstone of a great wedding and Jaafar kept everyone on the dance floor the entire night, playing hit after hit. I would recommend him to anyone!

We danced all night long the DJ was so good!

Fes Hat Entertainment makes a great event! I hired Jaafar to DJ my wedding and he was fantastic! It was easy to reach out to him and he was prompt at sending a contract, locking in my date and accepts various types of payment methods.

Prior to the wedding we talked about what the vision was for the event and he was helpful in suggesting options. We provided the timeline of events, a song list and a list of introductions and Jaafar took it from there and ensured our wedding reception was rocking!

He arrived and set up on time and was ready to go. He did not require a lot of space and was easy to work with. He kept us on our timeline and made announcements and played the music right on cue. The dancing was continuous and high energy everybody had an awesome time and complimented us on how grear the DJ was! I even stole a dace with Jaafar because we were all having so much fun! I would totally recommend Fes Hat Entertainment for your event!

Jaafar was very professional during the corporate holiday party we worked at together. He was prompt, had professional equipement and played great music. Jaafar made sure that when I took the photos of the toasts that he moved out of the way so that I could get good shots of the person doing the toast. He listened to what the guests requested and made sure that the music he played went with the flow of the evening. I highly recommend Jaafar as a DJ for any events/weddings! You will not be disappointed!
