About

Ken Wenzel Music & Entertainment is a wedding entertainment company based in Leesburg, Virginia. DJ/Singer/Guitarist Ken Francis Wenzel is a full-time DJ, musician, and bandleader. Currently based in Loudoun County, VA, he's a member of the Loudoun Country Chamber of Commerce and Visit Loudoun, Loudoun's wine country and visitor's bureau.

A multi-talented entertainer, clients like to hire Ken because of the ease, comfort, and simplicity of his providing music for all three segments of a wedding: solo acoustic for the ceremony, solo acoustic with voice (or mp3) for cocktails, and DJ entertainment for the reception. Clients don't have to juggle different performers, load-ins and load-outs, and worry about lateness, traffic, etc. Ken is there all day and is very hands-on, working with clients to give them the exact music experience they want. As for music selection, Ken works with clients to develop a playlist they like and are happy with. He aims to provide a musical environment that leads to a stress-free, super fun, and truly memorable wedding day!

Ken has packages for all three services - ceremony, cocktail, and reception. He can do a different speaker setup for all three sections: sometimes the ceremony is in one location (perhaps outside), and cocktails/dinner is somewhere else (inside the ballroom?), and a central PA for the DJ portion. It also includes basic lighting - two 4-bars by the DJ table. Additional uplighting - which adds to an event's atmosphere and warms the event space up - is also available.

Packages are also available for cocktail hour, emcee, and reception, excluding the ceremony. Of course, if you have different music in mind for the ceremony and reception, Ken's DJ services are available as a stand-alone option. And yes, he works with different budgets to create an unforgettable wedding experience that works for everyone!!

Ken rocks!

Ken was AWESOME! From the first emails we exchanged through the night of our wedding, he was super easy to work with. He shared great ideas from his experiences, but was also open to accommodating our requests to make our wedding personal and unique. Ken was very organized, giving us all the information we needed to seamlessly plan our musical needs. On top of being a great DJ, reading the room and playing what was requested, he is an incredibly talented soloist. Ken is a jack of all trades, who is flexible, accommodating, and just fun to work with. We would HIGHLY recommend Ken for your wedding or event.

The made the day even more spectacular!

I was lucky enough to have Ken agree to provide music and DJ services for my wedding in October 2021. Music - and whomever provides it - can make or break a reception and in my case, finding Ken was a treasure. He’s responsive, engaging, enthusiastic, fun and a phenomenal musician. He provided acoustic services pre-ceremony and DJ services for the reception. After learning of my favorite song, he played his version of it for my wedding. Turns out, I love it more than the original :) Ken, we had a lot of compliments from guests. Thank you for playing a pivotal role in making the evening so special.

Great experience!

Ken totally elevated my daughter’s wedding with his instrumental performance during the ceremony, singing/acoustic guitar during cocktail hour, and expert DJ work during the reception. Ken knows how to read the room and keep the party vibe going! His equipment is very high end and delivered amazing sound quality. He was delightful to work with, totally professional and fun. We loved working Ken and highly recommend him.

Ken Saved our Wedding!

Ken seriously saved our wedding!! Two weeks before our wedding, we found ourselves without a DJ because the previous one we hired quit (apparently this happens often, choose wisely... chose Ken!). The only ceremony song I cared about was the one I walked down the aisle to. Ken learned to play the whole song on his acoustic guitar in less than a week! And he played it beautifully. For the reception, he played every song we and our guests requests. Our dance floor was packed the whole night, people didn't even want to take a break bc he played hit after hit! It's been almost two months since our wedding and we're still getting compliments on how good our DJ was! Thank you, Ken!!!

Wedding with DJ Ken!

I'm not even sure where to start with having Ken DJ my wedding. He came recommended from a family member - and I'm so thankful!
To start - he played music for the ceremony, sang acoustic for the cocktail hour, then DJ'd the reception - he's truly a jack of all trades. He was so professional hitting his marks right on cue, there were NO issues with anything (sound, music, lighting, etc.), and he limited the amount he was on the mic (a huge plus for me!). He also followed everything I requested in terms of music and the overall experience.
His music selection was spot on! During the cocktail hour, he sang perfect background music. When it came time to dance, he kept the dance floor moving ALL night (and we had 4 hours of dancing built in)!
On top of the great night-of experience, Ken was so professional and flexible. We had a Covid wedding - one planned for 2020, then had to move dates TWICE. While I hope that doesn't happen to anyone reading this - I can say that Ken was so easy going and always willing to make the move. He was kind and understanding - something that made the stress of it all much easier!
I highly recommend using Ken for your wedding if you want a fun-filled, stress-free evening!

Ken felt like a longtime friend, and his music made our wedding feel like a dream

We found Ken through recommendations from the venue that we had our small wedding at, and were so lucky to have had him perform for us. He's extremely diverse with his music, and played songs that were familiar and perfect for each moment. We gave him complete reign over whatever he wanted to play, and he nailed it each time. Not only was his talent exceptional, but he very soon felt like he was a longtime friend of ours-extremely personable, nice, and so easy to work with. Cannot recommend enough, and can't wait to have him back for our next event!

Fantastic DJ!

Ken was amazing. He has an incredible talent, and really listens to his contractors to make sure they get what they want. I almost want to get married again just to enjoy the fantastic production from Ken!

Fantastic DJ!!

We hired Ken for our intimate wedding at Stone Mountain Vineyards, where he will play on occasion. We were so happy to have Ken for our special day. He played live acoustic guitar for our ceremony and cocktail hour in addition to DJing our reception. You will not be disappointed in hiring Ken. He was professional and played perfect music for everything! We hope to have Ken at any future events we may have!
