Rebecca Sent on 12/21/2025You NEED to book him
Mark Maskell was absolutely incredible. Even though we had an all-inclusive venue, he was my one non-negotiable outside vendor from the very beginning.
As someone who has been to a million weddings and genuinely loves music and going out, I hate cheesy wedding music and forced line dancing. Mark was the only DJ whose bio openly said that if you are looking for that vibe, he is not the DJ for you. That honesty alone sold me.
From the start, Mark went far above and beyond what was included in our contract. He spent countless hours helping us curate our wedding timeline, reviewing my very Type A spreadsheets, and offering thoughtful guidance. He honestly felt more like a second wedding planner than just a DJ during the planning process.
And the lights. The lighting setup and light show were unreal and completely elevated the entire experience. Mark truly curates the music and the atmosphere to you as a couple, not just a generic wedding crowd.
On top of all that, he is just a genuinely wonderful human. Easy to connect with, great dark humor, ADHD energy that matched ours perfectly. He is someone I would happily hang out with on a random Tuesday.
Our dance floor vibes were immaculate, and we were the only wedding I have ever attended that did not have a single technical issue on the DJ’s end. Truly flawless execution.
10/10 would recommend to literally anyone who wants their wedding to feel intentional, fun, and actually cool. -

DJ Maskell was amazing! Super easy to chat with, and we loved his energy. He read the room perfectly while still keeping our music preferences in mind. The lighting he set up was incredible and really elevated the entire vibe. As one guest put it, “YOUR DJ WAS COOKIN' ALL NIGHT!” He created such a fun, warm atmosphere that the dance floor was never empty. You can tell he has a real passion for weddings and a deep knowledge of the entire process—it showed in how smoothly he worked with us and all of the other vendors. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to get the party started! -

Elyse Sent on 11/26/2025So Grateful for Mark!!
I don’t even know how to begin this review!! First, I will say, if you are considering booking Mark for your wedding, do it right now. I promise it’ll be the best decision you make! I was originally searching for a DJ who aligned with my aversion to the YMCA and the cha-cha slide, so when I saw that called out on Mark's website, I knew he’d be a great fit for our wedding! We had a wonderful first Zoom meeting and knew immediately we wanted to book Mark. He was extremely helpful throughout the planning process! We had a few planning calls leading up to the big day where he helped us go through alllllll the nitty gritty details, offering expert advice for things I hadn’t even thought of- from timing flow to tips and tricks like how to set up ceremony chairs. As a DIY bride who loved planning her wedding but honestly got kind of fatigued by the end, these talks with Mark were not only invigorating but also made me feel like I wasn’t doing all of this alone. I felt so supported and confident going into the big day. I also planned an East Coast wedding from the West Coast and was excited to finally meet all my vendors face-to-face. After building a great connection with Mark over Zoom the last year, I have to say we were most excited to finally get to meet him in person!
Okay, now for the wedding day experience, a couple of words come to mind. Flawless, jaw-dropping, face-melting, fun.
I have a special affinity for music, so out of all the wedding day components, I was most excited for the tunes. One of my friends told me the pre-ceremony music made them feel like they were in a movie (score!) and the timing of all the ceremony songs was on point. More compliments ensued during cocktail hour. At this point, I was floating on cloud nine with my now husband, so it was super helpful when Mark rallied the bridal party together for our reception entrance and created exactly the energetic atmosphere I was hoping for! Mark was the perfect emcee for all the speeches, and cracked a few jokes before my brothers did their speech. At that point, I remember thinking Mark felt like more than a vendor. He was like family!
Okay, now for my favorite part- the dancing. I had expressed to Mark that I thought it’d be fun to do crowd-pleasing songs for a little while and then transition into more EDM style music. The best way I can describe how fun dancing was is to say that within our core group of friends, for 3 hours NOONE wanted to leave the dance floor to get another drink, to go to the bathroom, or anything. Anytime I thought I was going to sneak away for a second, a banger would drop and I would say, “well I can’t leave now!!” Also, THE LIGHTS! Check out his Instagram videos, and you’ll see what I mean. I’ve never seen such cool lights at a wedding before. It transformed the whole experience. Mark even invited my husband and me behind the DJ booth. I got to give the light control a spin, which we both agreed was one of our favorite moments from our whole wedding!
If I had a nickel for every time someone came up to me to ask me how I found Mark, to tell me how much they liked the music and lights, or how this was the best dancefloor of any wedding they’d ever been to, I could retire!
TL,DR: book Mark now. He’s an absolute genius and the best in the world at what he does. No hyperbole here!!
Thank you so much Mark, I’m so grateful I found and connected to a wonderful human, and for everything you did for us! -

Sara Sent on 10/08/2025Brought the party and the vibes
Mark was an extremely professional and down to earth DJ who brought the party. He helped us with a lot of the planning stages of the wedding including timeline and the layout of the venue. He was able to fuse my husband's Perisan background with our preference for EDM so that all the guests were happy with the music. I got many compliments on how much fun the wedding was, in no small part because of Mark. Plus he had an awesome light set up that made for great photos! And he worked with us to set up a projector screen so we could also have a nice slideshow. I would definitely recommend DJ Maskell to all my friends!! -

Scott Sent on 01/01/2025The Party arrives with DJ Maskell
If you're looking for a DJ who goes *above and beyond* to make your wedding or event absolutely perfect, look no further than DJ Maskell! From the moment we first spoke with Mark Maskell, we knew he was the right fit. We interviewed a few DJs, but the instant connection and professionalism we experienced during our first Zoom call with him set him apart.
Mark shared a detailed Google Doc with us during that call—a thoughtfully organized template covering everything from music planning to seating arrangements, budget, guest list, and even a photography section. His philosophy is truly remarkable: even if you don’t book him, he still wants to help guide your planning process. That level of generosity and care is rare!
When it came to our wedding day, DJ Maskell exceeded every expectation. He turned our reception into a high-energy, club-like atmosphere, complete with stunning dance floor lighting and uplighting to set the perfect mood for the venue. Months before our big day, he went out of his way to visit the venue, taking pictures and videos to help us envision the space—a thoughtful gesture we deeply appreciated.
On the day itself, Mark was a lifesaver. From ensuring our officiant had a microphone to running up with a spare when we began reading our vows, he was always one step ahead. He handled last-minute changes—like switching the groomsmen's entrance song and adding a bridesmaid’s speech to the programming—with ease and professionalism.
Mark even offered practical tips throughout the evening, like suggesting the perfect time to mingle with guests during the meal or reminding us to check our teeth before photos (which was surprisingly helpful!). And when it was time to hit the dance floor, he *brought the party*! Everyone had a blast, thanks to his incredible playlists and his ability to read the room.
He also sent us Spotify playlists in advance to help us get a feel for his style, and his planning spreadsheet had space for must-play songs and a "do not play" list, ensuring the music perfectly matched our vibe.
DJ Maskell was more than just a DJ—he was a planner, problem-solver, and all-around fantastic person to work with. We can’t recommend him enough! If you want someone who genuinely cares about making your wedding or event unforgettable, DJ Maskell is the one to call. Thank you, Mark, for making our special day truly magical! 🌟🎶💃🕺

Gabrielle Sent on 10/13/2024Best DJ Ever!!!
Hiring Mark was the best thing we could have ever done for our wedding on 9/21/24 at Riverside on the Potomac! We got so many compliments about our DJ during and after our wedding, and we had a full dance floor the entire night. We had multiple conversations with Mark leading up to the wedding, and he was extremely helpful with our timeline and overall relieved our stress. His light system was insanely cool, and it's awesome how passionate Mark is about what he does. Highly highly recommend! -

Mark was hands down THE best part of our wedding! He was so helpful during the whole planning process. Any questions we had he gave us the best advice. He doubles down as a “Day of Coordinator” as well, making sure the timeline is down to a tee. The lights he set up in our reception was like nothing I’ve seen at any other wedding. He even had us throw down on the turntable and it was such a fun and unique moment that everyone loved!! It really was electric during party time! Mark is also so friendly and personable. He was our favorite vendor to work with.
My advice is to stop scrolling now and BOOK THIS MAN for your wedding!!! You will not regret it.
THANK YOU MARK FOR THE BEST DAY EVER!!!!

DJ Mark Can't Be Beat!
Mark Maskell may be the best DJ in the DMV. He easily blended music genres and gave my wedding guests the most unforgettable night. He had almost everyone on the dance floor. His lighting set up was insane as well. If you are trying to find a DJ for your wedding stop right now and choose Mark Maskell. -

Amazing vendor, DJ, and party starter
To echo pretty much all the other reviews, if you haven't booked a DJ yet, go ahead and book Mark. Having Mark DJ our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. He is not just a DJ though, before and during the wedding he was a great point person who just made it work. He didn't pester us during the wedding; he went with the flow of the evening when timing deviated and just made it all seem seemless without asking our opinions on things and we really appreciated that! And WOW did he bring the party! Every guest we spoke to since the wedding has said he did an incredible job. The mix of the lights, music, and even a little bit of fog made for some really cool pictures and memories. Some DJs make it a show about themselves and chat a bunch throughout dancing, but Mark was extremely professional and tasteful throughout the entire evening! Mark worked seamlessly into the night making sure to get even the stiffest guests out on the dance floor. We are very thankful for the service he provided and the value he gave us as we wanted our budget to go as far as possible. He worked through some obstacles during the 21 day out meeting to, again, just make it work. He was so organized before our event and alleviated lots of stress through his calm demeanor. He was a vendor we didn't have to worry about and did exactly what we wanted him to do. Giving him 5 stars was a no brainer and booking him for your wedding should be as well. Thank you DJ Mark! -

Mark was an absolute dream to work with! From the planning stages, to the actual wedding day, he was the biggest help of all my vendors. He made sure we had thought of everything before the wedding day, and helped with anything I needed along the way. Wedding day, he made sure everything went smoothly and kept everyone on the dance floor until the last song! He listened to our recommendations, gave suggestions when needed, and truly helped give us such a special and magical night. HIRE HIM!!!!! -

Mark is the bomb dot com. He is not only an awesome DJ but came to our walk through and reassured us on hesitations we had, fixed minor issues we had on the day, and made our dance floor dazzle with lights and the whole she-bang! He was even our string puller for our balloon drop (man of many talents). He is very responsive, understanding, and hilarious. He fit in perfectly with our vision and our crazy personalities. Highly highly recommend him to make your wedding a dream! We love you Mark!! -

Rest assured if you hire DJ Maskell he will work tirelessly to make your wedding or event incredible! His lighting setup is truly awesome, of course the music is epic, but the BEST part is that he has fun and makes sure everyone else is having fun too!!! As a fellow wedding vendor we love recommending Mark and know his is always professional and awesome! -

DJ Maskell rocks!!!
I worked with Mark Maskell when we were both vendors at a wedding, and appreciated his talents and thoroughness so much that we hired him for our own wedding!
He went above and beyond leading up to, and at our wedding. He even had to make a quick location change after he was already set up due to weather, which we were so grateful for. I’d recommend DJ Maskell to anyone— you will not regret having him for your event!! -

Mark was hands down our favorite vendor
1. Mark is fantastic at what he does, which is provide music and entertainment for your event. People still tell me at weddings how much they liked my DJ. He’s a vibe. He is good at reading the room and giving the people what the people want. His transitions make sense. At no point in time did people want to leave the dance floor because of the music. We have video of our aunts and uncle dancing the whole night. Everyone loved him. Music is such a central part of a wedding reception and it’s important to book someone that understands that — Mark is your guy.
2. Mark goes above and beyond. We didn’t have a wedding planner because we didn’t think we needed one because our venue coordinator was fabulous. But honestly, our wedding wouldn’t have been as successful of an event if it hadn’t been for Mark filling in those gaps. I’m sure everyone’s needs are different but for us, he kept us on time, helped us meet deadlines, helped us with the seating chart (allseated is fantastic!!), helped usher guests from cocktail hour to the reception, the list goes on and on, I think you get the gist. He’s calming and has a good attitude about everything. I wouldn’t plan a wedding without Mark, he was paramount to making it unforgettable.

DJ Maskell was an imperative part of the success and enjoyment of our wedding!
I referred to Mark as our wedding Yoda as he did everything he could to ensue that we were happy and we’re having fun. He truly went above and beyond to make our day extremely special. I recommend Mark to all my friends and family that are getting married because he is the best and we are anxiously awaiting to have him DJ another wedding that we attend. Mark is the best in the business and no other DJ has even come close to comparing. -

Victoria Sent on 10/11/2023Best dj hands down!
If you want an amazing wedding reception that will have everyone on the dance floor until the end of the night, Mark is the DJ for you. Mark was super helpful throughout the whole wedding planning process. He provides you with a planning spreadsheet and is always willing to provide help where ever is needed. Mark played music during our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. We received sooo many compliments from our guests on how great the lighting was and how awesome the music selection was. Mark sets up lights everywhere and really goes above and beyond. He even held up lights for our bubble exit so the pictures would capture the bubbles better. You can truly tell he loves what he does and wants every couple he works with to have an amazing wedding. So if you are looking for a DJ who does it all, book Mark!! We love you!! -

Chelsea Sent on 10/11/2023DJ Maskell made our wedding into THE BEST PARTY EVER
We reached out to DJ Maskell to DJ our wedding & do the uplighting/effects because we had heard from our friends that the weddings they went to where he had DJ’ed were really fun & we wanted our wedding to feel like a sophisticated, elegant party (with a dance floor that felt like a 2000s hip-hop club 😂). DJ Maskell did NOT disappoint - one of my favorite memories of our wedding is everybody (including our grandparents & the bartenders) dancing real low to “Get Low” & everybody shouting the chorus. We’ve had multiple friends tell us our wedding was hands-down the most fun wedding they had ever been to. DJ Maskell also helped me custom-mix a song from YouTube that was special to my fiancé & me so I could walk down the aisle to it. He also custom-mixed my fiancé’s own song (my fiancé is a musician) for us to have our first dance to. The ceremony & speeches were perfectly miked. Now all of my friends want to use him for their weddings! I highly highly recommend him for your wedding. -

Mark went above and beyond for our wedding. He provided an all-encompassing wedding planning template which I ended up using to plan everything because it was so helpful!! He completely had everything under control for the entire event. The dance floor lighting was all anyone could talk about, and he event helped us out with additional lighting for a photo backdrop wall and bubble send off. Not only is Mark very talented but he’s also great at getting a crowd laughing—everyone loved the humor. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!! -

Best dj ever!
Hired DJ Maskell for my wedding and he kept my dance floor live and as guest stated "we couldn't leave the dance floor because he kept playing non stop bangers". Highly recommend if you want a DJ who cares about music and your event he is upbeat and energetic everything one needs in a phenomenal DJ. If you want your next event to be top notch I highly recommend DJ Maskell to provide your sick beats for the occasion. I promise if you hire him your guest will be complimenting you on your choice for months to come! -

The best dj of all time!
By far the best decision we made for our wedding! From the moment we booked him, DJ Maskell was helping out with every aspect of our wedding planning- from walking us through the ins and outs of what the day will consist of, to helping us think about our photography family combinations, and even being an editor on our ceremony outline in which he provided feedback and suggested changes, MULTIPLE times! He even asked if he could be a part of our venue walk through to understand the layout and to test the acoustics of the room. He met with us multiple times to get a feel for our music taste, and what type of party we wanted. He is a jack of all trades. On our wedding day, he did such an amazing job with the mics and sound during our ceremony. He brought the most amazing FUN party vibes to our reception, keeping the dance floor packed the whole night. The uplighting that he provided created such an awesome vibe which made you feel like you were rocking out at the coolest club. He was so attentive throughout the night, and picked up on all the subtle cues of me and my husband and our guests. Everyone totally raved about how amazing our reception and DJ Maskell were. He clearly has a great love and passion for weddings, and goes above and beyond to ensure your day is more than amazing. We could not have asked for a better DJ for our special day! I could go on and on all day about DJ Maskell until I am blue in the face, but bottom line is that you should RUN and book him immediately! **pictured is me when he brought me up to DJ for a bit :) -

Kristen Sent on 09/04/2022Exceptional DJ
Mark is incredible. My Husband and I are so lucky we were able to have Mark DJ our wedding. Not only is he wonderful at what he does, he is just an awesome person. He was so much fun to work with. He thoroughly planned the music for our wedding with us. He understood our taste in music and made sure to include music our other guests would enjoy. He planned our music to fit pre-ceremony/ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and dancing perfectly! He is incredibly knowledgeable of the layout and of the set up for the sound system for our wedding venue (River Side On The Potomac, also five star!). On top of playing great music, he provided up lighting, he has the best personality and made our wedding so much fun, he is also an expert at coordinating as well! I cannot say enough exceptional things about Mark. He truly is the greatest! We are so grateful for everything he did to make sure our day was special! -

Ting Sent on 06/18/2022Best DJ and coordinator we could have dreamt of having at our wedding!!
Looking for a DJ is one of the hardest things you can do when planning a wedding, but if you like to party, Mark is the one you’re looking for. Specifically, if you want a DJ that knows how to read the vibes of the room, transitioning from top 40s to your preference of EDM, Mark is a master in his craft. While we were planning our wedding, I wasn’t sure what information I needed to provide him in regards to music taste, but he walked us through the entire process and more. Once he got a sense of my taste in music and the vibes I wanted, he was able to suggest the songs for each event before I could tell him. Mark went above and beyond his role as a DJ, helping us iron out all the small details and questions to ask our venue. We did most of the planning ourselves, but Mark stepped in as a wedding advisor, asking us questions we didn’t even think about. At the wedding we had a blast and people kept coming to us to ask about who our DJ was and how the music was on point. If I had to plan another event, I would pick Mark in a heartbeat. He was a blast to work with and was the greatest support we could have had by our side throughout the wedding. -

Alex Sent on 06/18/2022Mark for president
DJ Mark is so much more than a DJ. He dives into your wedding with his whole heart to understand who you are, what you want, and how he can help. At our wedding, we had two special musical requests that required extra work from Mark, and he dove in with enthusiasm. He genuinely connects with people he works with and knows weddings inside and out -- he became like a secondary wedding planner for us, and we can't express our appreciation enough! -

Cindy Sent on 06/09/2022More than Just a DJ
Words cannot describe how amazing Mark was. I an living in Austin, and was planning an event in Pittsburgh, PA. He was able to work around the unknown power source of the ceremony without any stress.
As my first time planning a wedding (and hopefully last) Mark was so open to share his knowledge with us that I wouldn't have thought through. Like remember to eat lunch. That alone shows how much Mark really cares about our day not just the music and lights. the music and lights were top notch. (uplights are a must) Even my parents came up and danced, and they never dance!
My day wouldn't have been as smooth if it wasn't for him. -
![Sid]()
Sid T. Sent on 05/12/2022He's pretty much a wedding planner!
Mark was an incredible DJ. I expected him to just play the music and have the audio figured out, but Mark did so much extra work. He made floor plans, completed the walkthrough with me, advised me on timelines, and even coordinated with my wedding coordinator to ensure everything was perfect, even with an injury on his arm! Mark charged a bit more than other DJ's but with all the work he put in, he was 100% worth every single penny -

Haley Sent on 04/28/2022Fun, knowledgeable, organized, and a downright good time!
Mark has phenomenal DJ and lighting skills and he helped to make our wedding the party of our dreams! His knowledge of the wedding industry was absolutely invaluable throughout the entire planning process. He thought of everything, down to the microphone set up for our officiant and timing our music to the very second. He also went above and beyond by cutting up our father/daughter dance song to shorten it a bit and it came out perfect! Thank you SO much, Mark! Highly recommend! -

Gabi Sent on 02/05/2022Mark is amazing!
BOOK MARK AS YOUR DJ!! He is an absolute genius when it comes to “reading the room” and sensing the vibe of your wedding guests. Throughout the night he played a great mix of new and old (but never cheesy) music. Everyone from my nephews (age 8) to our grandparents (age 65+) felt that they had their time to shine on the dance door. Mark is also so much more than just a DJ! He can be your day of coordinator and is there to offer advice/suggestions for his clients throughout the entire wedding planning process. His wedding planning spreadsheet was an absolute bride’s dream. Going into our wedding day, my husband and I felt ZERO stress because everyone was planned and organized so well - and we have Mark to thank for that.
Thank you, Mark for such a wonderful reception!

11.20.21 Best DJ ever!!!!!
Mark was one of the reasons why our wedding was a blast and unforgettable!! First of all, when you book Mark you're not just working with a DJ, you're also working with someone who wants to be apart of your entire event. Mark handles music, lighting (uplights & pinspots), nimbus(we wanted a dance on clouds), and was able to do a monogram per our request. It felt like we had another day of coordinator with Mark. At all of our meetings, Mark was super on top of logistics and planning more than I was LOL. At the vendor walkthrough, Mark went over every specific detail. For example, he borrowed a ladder to find best vantage points for our spotlights (and this was his first time at the venue!!). He seriously went above and beyond for us. On our wedding day, he killed it with the final result and really made our vision come to life. Our music choices for ceremony, cocktail, and reception were awesome. The uplights, pinspots, monogram, and nimbus were done perfectly. Our guests RAVED and complimented his work after our wedding and said they had an amazing time. If you don't book with Mark, you will regret it. He is super easy to work with, attentive, organized, and an all around cool guy too. He puts the couple first and it shows in his work. Thank you again Mark for a truly unforgettable experience!! -

Mark was an absolute pleasure to work with and delivered far past our expectations. From the music to our rehearsal dinner, the lighting, setting the atmosphere and bringing the energy throughout the entire day. He is someone who is dedicated to his job and works tirelessly.

Mark was SO much fun to work with! Not only was he super professional, responsive, and attentive, you could tell her actually really cares about all of the couples he works with.

Anne Sent on 10/19/2021Can't recommend more highly- hire Mark, you won't regret it!
There are quite literally no words to explain how incredible Mark is and what an impact he had on our wedding, but I will try. Mark was easily the best vendor we used over the course of our entire wedding planning process-- he is so knowledgeable, helpful, fun and talented. His DJing, energy, lighting and overall experience were absolutely unmatched-- we received SO many compliments on the music and how he ran our wedding. Music, lighting and effects were so amazing he had everyone on the dance floor from the moment it opened until we had to end-- grandparents, college friends, young cousins, you name it, they LOVED the music-- a true skill to put together that kind of entertainment.
Mark not only helped throughout the planning process with expert advice on our timeline, little details to remember and day of coordinating support, he truly knocked the sound and lighting out of the park. His experience and professionalism shines through-- the man knows what he is doing and will deliver on what you ask for, and if you're up for an adventure, he can even recommend ways to kick things up a few notches with lighting, effects etc. 1000/10 recommend hiring Mark for any event-- he'll go above and beyond, and bring his skills and energy to make your day the best. -

Mark was FANTASTIC. He is very responsive, very fair priced, and throws the party of the century while also being a professional and fun MC of the day. Mark was a recommendation to use by friends who used him for their wedding and he easily became one of our favorite people who was a part of our big day. Mark is extremely organized and was great at staying in touch with us about what we envisioned for our day. He provided lighting that was amazing for photos during the reception but then also crazy lighting for dancing too! I cannot imagine anyone better for the job, you would be remiss to not hire Mark for you big day! -

My fiance and I were looking for a DJ who would get the party started early on, and keep it going throughout the entire night. We found just that with DJ Mark Maskell! Mark worked closely with us throughout our planning months to curate a vibe and playlist that matched our vision perfectly. He handled everything from the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to the reception and late night dancing. He was honest with his feedback, and listened extremely well, making sure to play only the genres of music that we enjoy. Our guests were up and dancing all night long and had nothing but positive things to say about Mark and his music selection. He did a beautiful job with the lighting/uplighting to accentuate all of the beautiful reception details and the dance floor party. The price for his services was also very reasonable! We highly recommend DJ Mark Maskell! -

DJ Mark Maskell is the REAL DEAL. From Day 1 of reaching out to him, he was so easy to communicate with and was truly invested in making sure our day went exactly how we wanted it to. Mark was incredibly attentive to every tiny detail of the wedding- whether it was moving a microphone at the perfect time, flagging down the photographer to capture an otherwise unseen moment, or helping to direct guests to the appropriate place for photos or food- he did it all!
And I haven't even begun to speak on his DJ skills! We had a day-time brunch wedding with multiple generations of guests all with different tastes- somehow, someway, Mark appealed to everyone and a day-time dance party ensued! He can read a crowd like no other and his number one priority is the guest experience. It was an amazing day and Mark laid the foundation to make it all happen.
You need DJ Mark Maskell at your wedding! TRUST ME! -

Mark is so much more than an (AMAZING!) DJ. He goes well above and beyond the typical DJ duties - he's a full blown wedding coordinator! His keen organizational skills made us think and plan about every tiny detail of our wedding, which made our big day go off perfectly. He is a full-blown expert on all things wedding and can tell you what will work and what won't. I felt like my wedding was in good hands because of Mark and his guidance.
Now on to his DJ skills. Your guests will not leave the dance floor! He knows EXACTLY what makes people get up and move and can flawlessly read the crowd. Our dance floor was packed the entire night. Also, his uplighting made our venue look gorgeous. On top of that, it's all included in his fee - no hidden extras or add-ons.
I can not recommend DJ Maskell enough. You will NOT regret booking him for your wedding (or any event)!!!! -

I can honestly say that our wedding would not have gone as smoothly as it did without Mark. First, he's a wonderful DJ and emcee! He played great music all night long and people were dancing until the lights went up -- even though it was the AFC/NFC championship games the night of our wedding (N.B. we had a lot of New Englanders at our wedding)!
Second, and just as important, he served as a de facto coordinator for us in the last few hectic weeks leading up to the wedding and on the day of. We had a long lead time in our planning and so decided to forego an official planner, but when the time came, we realized we might need someone. However, turns out that it was fine - we had Mark. He shared some wonderful resources with us to make sure that no detail was missed. He worked hard to make sure that we had exactly the day we wanted and that everything went off without a hitch. If there were any issues during the ceremony/reception, we didn't know about them. It is in huge part due to his attention to detail, calm demeanor, warm personality, and deep experience that our wedding was as successful as it was. We would recommend him over and over again! -

Mark had everyone on the dance floor the entire night- of all ages! We had many people come up to us after and tell us how awesome our music was- which was entirely all Mark. We gave him some loose guidelines, but he really has a magic touch when it comes to getting a party started. In terms of all things outside of music- Mark was my favorite vendor I worked with. He was prompt with his responses, incredibly helpful, thoughtful, and gave us a ton of planning help. He also had a killer light show and his ceremony assistance was great. -

DJ Mark Maskell is a miracle man - not only can he make your wedding the most memorable with his music, he was practically a second wedding coordinator at ours. His uplighting was incredible and he was able to play a nice mix of music - top 40 hits and even showcased both arab and latin hits to please both sides of the family. Throughout the process, he was very attentive, detail-oriented, and flexible in order to make sure our day was special and stress-free. He is personable and fun and kept everyone engaged the whole time. By the end of the night, everyone wanted to befriend him! We couldn't have asked for a better DJ with professionalism and energy all wrapped into one. -

DJ Mark Maskell was recommended to us by a friend who is also a DJ but was in our wedding party. So, we knew we could trust him and were not disappointed! He was excited, very nice, super easy to work with and he was really involved in the planning process which goes above and beyond his responsibilities. We felt so good knowing that Mark had a handle on pretty much every aspect of the day. He was always responsive via email and text and made the few in-person meetings we had with him fly by. He also went out of his way to attend a meeting with our venue because our coordinator was unable to. Our guests kept telling us that they've never seen everyone get on the dance floor right away and then never leave. He was great and I highly recommend him. -

Erin Sent on 11/05/2018Great DJ for offbeat couples!
My husband is a metalhead and I like everything from darkwave to moody country to 90s club hits. I had all but given up on finding someone that seemed like they were up to the task of DJing our wedding in the DC area before I found Mark.
He got the vibe we were going for immediately. Our reception was a blast and I got so much, "Wow, I didn't think this could be a wedding song but it works." I had such a great time dancing to all the songs my friends and I love. Mark is amazing at setting the mood. His lighting expertise was a HUGE part of that, making our smallish community center venue feel like an actual club. I've never seen my family dance so much.
Not only was Mark our MC and DJ, but he really knows the flow of a wedding inside and out. As a big DIY-er, I decided to forgo a wedding planner. I quickly realized that while I have some events experience, a wedding is a horse of a different color. Mark shared a ton of resources with my husband and I to make sure we knew what we were doing.
I cannot recommend Mark enough if you want a DJ that's both professional and detail oriented, but also just plain fun.

Mark was on top of his game from start to finish! He was open to our suggestions to really tailor the music to us. He was always responsive during the planning phase. He kicked off the dance floor perfectly and had all of our guests dancing! I would highly recommend him for your wedding! -

Laura Sent on 08/06/2017My husband and I hired Mark for our wedding on July 22, 2017 and it was one of the best decisions we made! Mark went above and beyond and helped us through many parts of the planning process. He was extremely organized and talked us through the day of timeline (multiple times!) as well as our music selections. All of our guests raved about the music and the dance floor was filled all night with guests of all ages. Mark also did a wonderful job with the uplighting in the room. In addition, Mark made sure to reach out to our other vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page. This helped to keep everything running smoothly all day and night. We highly recommend DJ Maskell!! -

Emily Sent on 09/10/2016DJ Maskell did a fantastic job before and during our wedding. He really helped with our wedding timeline, music selections, and when to do the formalities before party time. He played the music we requested and more favorites (Backstreet Boys and Spice girls for me!). The uplighting was great to have and really made it feel like a party after dinner. -

Gina Sent on 08/22/2016Mark Maskell is a creative and quirky delight! He has many years of DJ experience and was everything we could ask for as an MC at our wedding reception. We provided him a recommended list of music to go with all the events during the reception and he didn’t once “miss a beat!” He will also put together his own repertoire if you do not want to be bothered with that much detail. His sound controls and lighting were perfect for an outdoor venue. The music and speakers sounded great using his system and the volume was perfect (loud enough but not overbearing). Throughout the evening, Mark would watch closely for cues to keep the fun flowing. Mark worked well with the wedding planner, guests of honor and all the vendors, including the venue’s electrician. His artistic manner is upbeat, pleasing and comical yet never inappropriate for the audience. At one point, a guest accidentally dropped their drink and the glass shattered on the wooden dance floor. Within a minute, broom and dustpan in hand, Mark was cleaning up the mess, assuring our guest it was “no problem” with a smile on his face and the music still playing!! His all inclusive price was very reasonable with no additional charges for coming over 100 miles to perform at our venue. (As a helpful note, Mark’s lovely wife is a wedding planner, so you may want to look into her resume as well!)
