K W Sent on 02/03/2025The Perfect Wedding!
John was our DJ and it was absolutely perfect. I had talked to 3 different DJs and went with John because of his years of experience, passion, and competence. I needed someone who was capable and take-charge in order for me to relax and trust that everything would be taken care of. And he still surpassed our expectations! We had several people tell us it was the best wedding they had ever been to and the best music. People joked that they didn't even get to enjoy the open bar because they kept rushing back to the dance floor! John was very thorough with the timeline and kept us on track. He had excellent ideas and suggestions but always... -

Steve and the team at A2Z were wonderful. Steve worked with us to develop and personalize our playlists. He gave us recommendations and notes on song choices. He had the reception dance floor full the entire night, and everyone had a great experience. -

We hired A2Z for lighting for our October 2024 wedding and could not have been happier! Complete professionals, so easy to work with, and reasonable prices! They did fairy lights for our dance floor and uplighting around the room. It TRANSFORMED a generic ballroom into a stunning, romantic setting. HIGHLY recommend booking A2Z!! -

Megan Sent on 11/08/2024Outstanding Experience!
From start to finish, A2Z was outstanding! Working with John and Carrie leading up to our wedding was a breeze—their templates made planning so much easier. On the big day, John did an incredible job and created what we’ll always remember as the perfect soundtrack to our wedding. He has fantastic presence, catered to us as a couple, and made sure the music perfectly matched the vibe of the day. So many of our guests commented that John was hands down the best DJ they’ve ever experienced at a wedding, and we couldn’t agree more. He was personable, attentive, and truly made us feel cared for. We were initially on the fence about adding uplighting, but we’re so glad... -

After our initial interview, my husband and I knew we needed John to be our DJ. He has great energy, and he has a great knowledge of various types of music. All of our guests said they loved all the music, and the dance floor was never empty. From the ceremony to the reception, our music was top notch and made for one heck of a party. Special shoutout to John for being flexible on our big day. We never had to worry if the plan changed last minute. He took care of everything! -

Steve’s dedication, support, and professionalism was unmatched! He was incredibly responsive and creative with us, especially since our we wanted our wedding to be the perfect blend of two different cultures. Boy, did Steve deliver! Our guests had a ball, everyone talked about how much fun they had and that they had never danced so much at a wedding. Couldn’t have happened without Steve. Gracias! -

Ashley Sent on 06/28/2024A MUST for your VA/DC wedding!!
John and Carrie at A2Z were absolutely key to making our night unforgettable. They were so accommodating and kind from the very beginning. We decided to have John provide music for the ceremony, the cocktail hour, AND the reception, which was the best thing we could have ever done. John also provided ambient lighting for the whole evening. You WANT this team behind you on your special day. The music was completely customized to fit our personality, and John also acted as the MC for the evening. Such a positive and empowering tone was set for us. We couldn't be happier with how it all turned out. I called John my "fairy god DJ!" He even piped in smoke... -

Mary Sent on 06/26/2024Incredible!
John Smithfield was the DJ for my daughter's wedding. He was familiar with the venue and offered excellent advice on lighting, playlists, and timelines. He set up in 3 locations - mics and music for the ceremony, a separate outdoor space for cocktail hour and then the reception. As an MC, he was enthusiastic and supportive to everyone who made speeches. He worked with the bride and groom to create the perfect playlist (literally EVERYONE was dancing) and he incorporated the guest's favorites as well. People are still commenting on how much fun they had. As a wedding coordinator, I've worked with dozens of DJs. John S is by far one of the most talented. -

Robert Sent on 05/13/2024A2X Music Factory is the best!
My wife and I loved our experience with A2Z Music Factory! Upon meeting with John, we were blown away by how succinctly, thoroughly, and clearly he knew how to support our special day, not only for A/V and music needs, but to keep everything on track. The preparation documents helped us to think through how we wanted our wedding to be conducted and really prepared us well for the big day. It was obvious why A2Z was highly recommended by our venue and we honestly wouldn't change a single thing with our experience. Cheers to John and the team! -

Sho&Krish Sent on 01/10/2024Excellent all around!
A2Z did a great job handling the audio, lighting, DJ/MC, and photobooth for our wedding weekend. John and Carrie took good care of us, worked with us to decide what services we want, and put together a package covering all of our entertainment needs. A2Z was professional and handled all the day-of logistics smoothly without our oversight.
A2Z booked us with DJ Dutta for our reception, who was also 5/5 and kept the evening exciting as MC + DJ. He met with us a few times to hear what we wanted from the event, and helped us with figuring out the flow of the evening. He struck a really good balance between asking our input for things and... -

Mayra Sent on 12/12/2023Literally the best
A2Z not only made sure we were the star of the show at our own wedding but also made sure the party kept going. The vibes and the energy they brought to our wedding ensured people were dancing the whole night at our wedding. The amount of accessories they had with up lights, CO2 guns, smoke machine, etc made our dreams come up for our first dance. We received a wonderful photo book of our Photo Booth photos which was a huge hit for all of our guests! Not only are they DJs but they’re just the best overall entertainment. Highly recommend booking them for your next event, whether it is your wedding, company party or any party! -

Megan Sent on 11/20/2023The party never stopped
Wow. Who would've thought that a DJ could completely transform our entire day. From the perfect ceremony timing, to the up-lighting and effects in the ballroom, to surprising us with a fiberoptic send off, we were blown away. Working with John and his team was not only seamless but he made it his mission that my husband and I had the wedding we had always dreamed of. His team kept the dance floor going all night, reading the room and playing all the hits for all ages. I highly recommend this company if you are looking for professional-grade entertainment with a personal touch. -

Kristi Sent on 11/10/2023More than a DJ - he does it all!
John did an absolutely incredible job for our wedding. He was super helpful during the planning process and remained detail-oriented, asking all of the right questions and providing suggestions when we didn't know exactly what we should be doing. He gave the best suggestions for songs (e.g., he decided "Hot for Teacher" would be a great intro song for my bridesmaid who is a teacher and was giving a speech; it made her laugh out loud and dissipate the nerves she was feeling). Everyone was dancing all night and said it was one of the best weddings they had ever been to. He went above and beyond in so many ways - in helping us secure rentals like draping,... -

I met John at a Wedding Expo and immediately wanted to hire A2Z for my wedding. As a typical bride does, I had a fear that I pulled the proverbial trigger too soon, but I did not. John was amazing. He took care of us throughout our entire day. Had music ready, told us what to expect from moment to moment, handled request like a champ, and also gave us water after walking up the aisle (we got married in August). I never felt like I wasn't listened to or heard and he answered every question and his detailed template made it so no moment was missed. 5/5 is just the tip of the iceberg. He went above and beyond for us and I am so appreciative. -

We loved having John from A2Z at our wedding!
From our first phone call, John made us feel comfortable and secure in our decisions. He helped build our timeline, gave song suggestions, and provided an easy template for us to plan out our song choices. He was available for multiple planning sessions, which was very reassuring! He also made sure we had his phone number so that we could contact him with any last minute questions or changes.
On our wedding day, John was an incredibly calming presence. He was extremely attentive during our formal dances, and was able to interpret my slightest nods to start/stop a song.
We scheduled our day so that all dancing would... -

DJ John was fantastic from start to finish! He was friendly and easy to talk to, and understood our musical preferences from the get go. His suggestions for songs for the mother-son dance and the bride/groom's last dance were perfect.
John's flexibility was clear both with the postponement of our reception due to COVID, and setting up microphones and speakers for the ceremony and reception. He also downloaded recordings made by my church organist who was unavailable for the actual reception, as well as the karaoke track to a Broadway song for me to sing with my sister at the reception.
I was really impressed with the way DJ John took care of my husband and me... -

DJ Monica & the AV tech were absolute pros and completely transformed the space with their lighting and music. Monica was particularly great - very organized, responsive, and totally awesome at reading the crowd! She was a huge hit and made our wedding perfect! Great value and everything went perfectly - we highly recommend going with A2Z Music Factory for your lighting/AV/DJ needs! -

There will never be enough positive things I could say about John from A2Z. From the moment we got in contact to the very end of our day, John went above and beyond. He was an amazing DJ- there is truly no competition. I am not the best at anything music related, so I wanted to comment on everything else John did. He sat through hour long phone calls prior to the event just to make sure the music was everything we wanted it to be. He checked in on us numerous times throughout the day to make sure we were taken care of. He even brought us our meals and drinks throughout the reception because he knew we... -

Geraldine Sent on 09/04/2021Steve was flexible, energetic and easy to work with!
I initially booked A2Z because of the good reviews and the variety of services they provided. We were able to get a good package that included DJ for our ceremony and reception, speakers, uplighting and a sparkler exit. They offer even more than that too. What I didn't know when I initially booked them was who our DJ would be. Our DJ ended up being Steve Perez, and he was perfect for our wedding! Steve and I had a couple of calls before our wedding day and went through every detail of the wedding. He was immediately easy-going and open to ideas and songs that he hadn't heard before. He offered me advice and got to know our personal... -

After finding out they were one of our venue's preferred vendors, I was excited to see such glowing reviews on this site. I will recommend them to everyone I can that is looking for a DJ or lighting, or pretty much anything needed for an event. They have it all! Carrie was great with questions, leading up to our wedding, and our DJ Steve Perez was amazing. He had very helpful tips when we met with him before the big day, and his personality definitely worked well with us. It was important for us that our DJ was bilingual due to my husband's family being Hispanic, and it was so great that he was able to ensure that everyone... -

We contacted A2Z 2 weeks before our wedding, as we were frantically replanning a small, covid friendly wedding after postponing our June 2020 wedding. They were so easy to work with and connected us with DJ Steve. DJ Steve was amazing! He got our vibe, played all our favorite music and really made our wedding feel like it was meant to happen the way it did! Dj Steve really made everything come together so perfectly! We would totally recommend working with Steve and A2Z if you are looking to have perfect wedding! They also did an amazing job with live streaming our ceremony! We would hire them again in a heart beat! -

We hired A2Z as a last minute vendor to livestream our covid-friendly wedding. Brandon was professional and knew his product inside & out. The quality of the video and sound was impeccable for those who couldn’t join us in person. And I’m thrilled that he recorded it so my husband & I can watch it whenever we’d like. Thank you, Brandon & team! -

From the first conversation with had with John from A2Z, we knew this wedding was going to be exactly what we had hoped for in regards to the music! John is so knowledgeable and he truly puts an emphasis on the importance of it being the bride and groom's day to shine and pick music that they want to dance to on their wedding day. The ceremony music was gorgeous, and his team are truly chameleons in how they can transition between the ceremony and reception music. My husband was very particular about the vibe he wanted for the cocktail hour and the reception, and John completely nailed it! In all of our communications, John was extremely receptive, but... -
