About

Big moments in life deserve an epic party. How epic, you may ask? Imagine celebrating in a private nightclub that’s packed exclusively with your favorite friends and family. If this seems too good to be true then rest assured it’s not far-fetched for us…in fact this is the exact experience we bring to your celebration!

Unlike most music entertainment companies, we require all artists on our roster to maintain a minimum of two monthly nightclub residencies. This ensures that the stage act you book is at the top of their craft and will deliver a stellar performance for you and your guests. You can even attend 1 of our shows before you book because when we’re not performing at a wedding, chances are each of our artists is rocking a club or bar downtown. Many other DJ and music companies claim the ability to put on a high energy nightclub level of a show but in contrast to most, our performers deliver this experience in the real world.

We joined this industry because of our passion for music and our focus will forever be on quality in the modern entertainment marketplace. Once you book your selected talent, we will connect you with your entertainer so that you and them can partner together in crafting the perfect celebration. Whether you’re planning a high-end wedding, a corporate party or another important event, THG has everything you need for entertainment and an unforgettable night.

Great party

Josh was so easy to work with, professional, and picked up on what we wanted very quickly. All of his equipment worked without a single issue, something I didn't really think about until the day of when I realized everyone important for our day needed a mic. We wanted an awesome dance floor at our wedding and got exactly that. We had so much fun we didn't stop dancing to cut our cake. Would absolutely hire him again.

DJ Sway Killed It!

From the very first consultation to the last song of the night, DJ Sway absolutely knocked it out of the park. We cannot recommend him enough! From day one, he came prepared with everything — timeline, song lists, equipment & lighting, backup plans — you name it. He took the time to really listen to what we envisioned for our big day and made it a reality. No detail was too small. He remembered every request, every "do not play," and every special moment we wanted highlighted throughout the evening. Whenever we had a question or a last-minute change, he was always just a call away. During the actual reception, he read the room effortlessly, keeping the energy high, transitioning seamlessly between songs and genre. The dance floor was packed all night long! If you're looking for a DJ who is professional, detail-oriented, and genuinely invested in making your day unforgettable — look no further. We'd hire DJ Sway again in a heartbeat!

DJ Sway is amazing!

We are so lucky we found DJ Sway! He was wonderful to work with from start to finish, and he filled our entire wedding reception with great music. His talent kept guests of all ages happy, and the dance floor full the whole time, something I haven't really seen at other events. We have had quite a few guests say they were impressed by the playlist!

He provided options for and guidance about lighting, and it was perfect for our space. I knew he had the entertainment under control, so I didn't have to worry for a minute, which was so freeing. I was completely able to enjoy the event. I talked to a few DJs and bands before making a decision, but it was ultimately an easy one. I liked that I was always talking to the actual DJ who would be with us on the day. He communicated well about pricing, and there were no surprises or hidden costs. His passion for music, entertaining, and helping make events special was unmatched.

DJ Sway was the best!!!

I cannot recommend Josh Carroll enough! I was nervous when booking DJs but he was highly recommended and professional which put us at ease. I had very specific music preferences which he took into account and executed flawlessly. Our reception was a blast- more than I could have ever imagined because of him! Our friends could not get enough and his music selection was truly a highlight of the night and a big part of why we had the best of times!!!

Seamless Wedding Host

We worked with Josh for our December wedding and he was fantastic: responsiveness, detail-oriented, and a master of reading the room (dance floor). Every transition in sound services from our ceremony, reception, and final private dance was seamless. We highly recommend Josh for a worry-free party that kept the dance floor moving and grooving through higher energy and slower, romantic songs.

10/10 Recommend

Highly recommend Headliner Group for your wedding. DJ Pat Premier was awesome and our guests are still talking about how much fun they had on the dance floor. They’re extremely responsive and offer the perfect balance of providing guidance while also understanding the type of vibe we wanted to achieve.

Wedding DJ

The headliner group was so amazing with every single step of the process. My husband and I had no idea what kind of music we wanted played and Josh and DJ Styles were able to play the best playlist at our wedding just based on conversations with us and going on the vibe of the dance floor. I would recommend this company for every wedding and other events!

Great Vibes with DJ Sway

We hired DJ Sway (Josh Carroll) for our wedding, and he absolutely nailed it. From the first call, Josh was organized, responsive, and thoughtful—he asked smart questions about our vibe, must-plays/“do not plays,” and the flow of the night.

Ceremony audio was crystal clear, cocktail hour felt effortless, and the reception had perfect energy from the first song to the last. Josh read the room beautifully—mixed classics with current hits, blended our requests seamlessly, and kept the dance floor packed all night. Transitions were smooth (no awkward fades), his MC work was polished but never cheesy, and he kept us on timeline without ever feeling rushed.

Multiple guests told us it was the most fun dance floor they’ve had at a wedding. We couldn’t agree more. If you want a pro who truly cares about your day and delivers, book DJ Sway.

Couldn't have asked for a better DJ, band, or event lighting!

We can’t say enough good things about Josh and the Headliner Group! From start to finish, Josh was an absolute pro and a huge part of what made our wedding day so special. He crushed the emcee role - everything ran seamlessly, from the AV setup and transitions to the timing of speeches and introductions.
And the music… AMAZING. Josh brought the vibes. Every transition was smooth, every song hit just right, and he kept the dance floor packed all night. Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had.

Josh was also incredibly flexible and easy to work with, even when we sent over some last-minute song edits and requests. He handled it all with a smile and made sure the night felt completely personalized to us.

On top of all that, the value was unbeatable - especially compared to other DC-area DJs. For the level of professionalism, energy, and care Josh brought, we honestly couldn’t believe how reasonable the pricing was.

We’re so grateful for everything he did to make our wedding unforgettable - it was truly top-notch from start to finish. If you want a DJ who knows how to keep things running flawlessly and throw an amazing party, look no further than Josh and the Headliner Group!

Amazing experience!

Josh was an amazing DJ! He did a great job with the pacing of the day, MCing the day, choosing the right music mix and integrating the wide variety of requests from our guests. He really lowered the stress level for us with how he kept things moving and helped us make all the decisions needed with simple and straight forward planning steps. We couldn’t have asked for a smoother musical experience!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
