    I cannot say enough amazing things about Friendly Entertainment!
    From the quick responses to my random middle of the night emails, to the simple and easy to figure out website where I could add and remove "must plays" and "do not plays" up until the week of the wedding, Frank and Simmone were the best choice I could have made and I am so happy to have found them!
    The music never stopped flowing. The transitions between songs were smooth. They really caught my musical vibes and played everything I loved and nothing I didn't.
    My guests danced all night long! It was even hard for me to get pulled away from the dance floor, and I'm not much of a dancer, so that is really saying something!

    Thank you Frank & Simmone! I can't wait to use your service again, everything was perfect!

    Flexible, reliable, talented DJ

    Writing this the morning after our wedding - Frank was an amazing DJ. From the planning to the actual day of the wedding, he was super flexible with us and helped us keep on track when things were running behind. Frank was able to blend the music in a way in which both of our cultures were represented. Our families and friends were up on the dance floor for hours thanks to Frank’s use of our preselected playlist and some selections of his own.
    I’d highly recommend Friendly Entertainment for your wedding if you’re in the DMV area.

    Fantastic!!

    Frank was phenomenal. He and Simmone were always a pleasure to connect with during the planning process and extremely responsive. Their portal was not only helpful for music but also for mapping out timeline of events! I could not be happier with my experience. Frank matched the energy of every minute of my intimate brunch wedding. I was hesitant to book for such a small wedding, but I have zero regrets and would do it again. Thank you so much!

    Friendly Entertainment's reply:

    Thank you Ana! Simmone and I enjoyed every minute of getting to know you both. What a classy and fun wedding! We appreciate the kind words.

    Perfect DJ for our Wedding

    Frank Marsden is an excellent DJ. We strongly recommend Friendly Entertainment for your event.

    Searching for a wedding DJ in the Annapolis/Baltimore region turns up a ton of big egos that think they are one step from a residency at Hakkasan in Vegas. That's not really our style, which is why we are so lucky a photographer recommended Friendly Entertainment to us.

    The moment we met with Frank, we instantly saw how laid back and down to earth he is. Being a former radio DJ, Frank's voice is as smooth as smooth jazz, while still able to mix in the energy of a "Sunday Sunday Sunday!" monster truck rally announcement. There are no air horns here - just a humble professional that takes great pride in what he does.

    Frank makes the whole planning process about you, not himself. He has an easy to use web portal where you'll fill out all the timing details for your ceremony and reception, and what songs from his library are required/desired/banned. If he doesn't have a song you want, he'll get it - he loves having an excuse to buy more music. We wanted a mix of 80s pop, 90s rock and hip hop, and bit of heavy metal, and wow, Frank delivered. He even agreed to play our overly-complicated ceremony procession song where I did a custom edit, and he executed it *flawlessly.*

    Frank's wife, Simmone, handles all communication and scheduling - and wow, she is fantastic at it. This is a huge pet peeve of mine, so it was a big positive from the start when she immediately replied to my request. This was above and beyond any of the other DJs I interacted with.

    And finally, the price was right. Frank is completely open about his pricing, listing it for many venues directly on his website. That price was what we paid - no hidden charges.

    Thank you Frank for making our wedding memorable and a big success!

    Friendly Entertainment's reply:

    Hi Gino! This is such a wonderful review and a fun read! It was great to get to know you both and share in your vision. We loved being able to take your ideas and turn them into a really unique, fun, and memorable night for everyone. Thanks again!

    True Professionals!!

    We had an exceptional experience with Frank and Simmone of Friendly Entertainment. From the start, they were a joy to work with. They were easy to contact, prompt in their responses, and excellent, precise communicators. I immediately could sense how professional they were, and my fears of finding a good wedding DJ evaporated. On the day, Frank seamlessly kept everyone on schedule, and the dance floor was NEVER empty! I forbid you to choose ANYONE except Frank for your wedding or social event!

    DJ Perfection

    Having heard Frank DJ for friends of ours, as well as at a restaurant, I knew immediately he would be the perfect fit for our wedding. He and his wife are so easy to talk to and work with to figure out exactly the right song choice and pace for the day. Immediately following the vows, the music kicked in and the song choices Frank made perfectly flowed with our musical taste and included something for everyone there. The sound production was on point. Not too loud or too quiet, and he kept the vibe going all day and night long. I cannot think of anyone I would rather have DJ my events going forward. I’m so happy we got to meet and have this incredible experience.

    Amazing!

    Frank was such a pleasure to plan and work with and truly amazing on the day of. The weather didn’t want to cooperate and Frank went above and beyond to make sure I had my outdoor ceremony with my music! The reception was so much fun, he kept the music going and everyone dancing and honestly helped keep everything on schedule and flowing (he’s like a mini coordinator and DJ all rolled into one)
    Couldn’t have asked for a better DJ for my dream wedding, highly recommend!!

    Fantastic!

    DJ Frank Marsden is fantastic and we could not have been happier with his DJ services! 10/10 would recommend working with Frank for your wedding! He was super helpful, friendly, accommodating, and fun. We wish the night could go on forever and we could do it all over again every weekend! Thank you for a day/night we will never forget! You rock!

    Vivacious, the crowd was full of life and energy from start to finish!

    A big part of the most perfect day is choosing the right vendors. Frank & Simmone with Friendly Entertainment truly came through and executed all of our needs from start to finish. From the documentation that helped guide us in choosing and organizing our songs to having creative freedom, and really reading our guest needs and wants they made this special day one to remember. So much is said and communicated through music, and they were spot on throughout the entire event. We are so grateful for the guidance and support through the process and would recommend them 1 million times over. Thank you for being a big part of our special day! Love, the Ritter’s

    I couldn’t be happier!

    Frank and Simmone were the officiant and DJ at our wedding this past Saturday. I can’t put into words how amazing it was to work with them! Their communication, planning and attention to detail was phenomenal. Even though they are juggling a busy wedding schedule, I never felt like I wasn’t a top priority to them. Throughout the planning process, they took the time to get to know me and my fiancé so they could tailor the ceremony and music specifically to our event. On the day of the wedding I didn’t have to worry about anything. They had thought of every detail and seamlessly transitioned from ceremony, to cocktail hour, to the reception . Simmone’s words while officiating our ceremony were heartfelt and personal (and funny, to top it off!). I cannot recommend them enough! Thank you, Friendly Entertainment!

    They’re professional, friendly, insightful, talented, knowledgeable, and such a calming force during the stressful time that is wedding planning . I have zero negative things to say. I have zero critiques . They’re as perfect as it gets . Thank you Frank and Simmone

    Fun, professional, experienced, and reasonably priced.

    Frank at Friendly Entertainment did an absolutely perfect job DJ'ing our Baltimore wedding. We would recommend him to anyone. Frank's personal style is calm, collected, friendly, and there to help make your event a success in any way he can. He struck the perfect balance between leading/structuring the night, reading the room to play the perfect mix of music, and fading into the background when it was time for people to let loose and have fun. He was reliable and a good communicator. We also found Frank's services to be very competitively priced, coming in much lower than many of the other large DJ companies out there. We would recommend him to anyone looking for a professional, fun, and experienced wedding DJ.

    Working with Frank and his wife Simmone was one of the easiest processes throughout my wedding. We gave him creative freedom to after telling him about us and knocked it out of the park. He was ON POINT with every detail! I couldn’t have asked for a better DJ 50/10 would recommend for any party needs

    Our wedding ROCKED!!!

    Frank is amazing! We had a brunch wedding at the Liriodendron and we had more of an alternative rock playlist, he stuck to our wants and even sprinkled in some unexpected gems that really made the day so fun. We, and our guests, loved it! It was a very chill day and his vibe totally matched ours. During the planning process, Friendly Entertainment was so responsive and helpful and answered all our questions. We also had a hiccup the week of our wedding where our original officiant (a close friend of ours) had a tragic family emergency and could no longer make it. We emailed right away since we knew Simmone is an officiant, on a late Sunday evening and she responded right away and was able to do our event. The speech she had for our ceremony was absolutely beautiful. We are so incredibly grateful that we had Frank and Simmone at our wedding and helping us through the planning process, and highly HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for DJ and/or officiating services for their special day. Thank you for making our day so amazing and stress-free!

    DJ Frank is friendly, courteous, respectful, and professional

    I have heard a lot of horror stories about wedding DJs, more than maybe any other vendor. If you don't want a horror story of your own, go with Frank, he will get the job done with absolutely no drama and with total respect for your plans. Loved it, so many compliments on the music.

    We loved working with Frank and Simmone! They were friendly, communicative, reliable, and easy to deal with before the wedding. At the wedding itself, Frank was professional but fun—a perfect DJ for our wedding. I’d recommend him any day!

    Amazing Wedding DJ!

    Frank did an amazing job as our wedding DJ! He was so easy to talk to during the planning process and he made sure he understood the vibe we wanted for our special day. We gave him a partial list of songs we wanted and he did a great job filling in the rest and keeping the party going! We had people on the dance floor for 3+ hours straight! I highly recommend Frank for any of your DJ needs - he will not disappoint!

    Frank was amazing! He was very helpful and flexible with both planning and the wedding itself. Half of the compliments and positive feedback we got from guests were about the music! It was a great playlist and everything was right on time. Every local vendor we talked to also knew him by name and loved that we booked him. If you want someone experienced and down to earth, highly recommend him!

    Hire them!

    I was fortunate enough to have Frank DJ my wedding. There are not enough words to say how amazing both he and Simmone were through the whole process!! They were completely flexible when we needed to reschedule due to COVID issues. No question was too big or too small, they were prompt with responses and any advise/suggestions we needed.
    The day of the wedding was PERFECT because of them! We had a few hiccups due to our venue, but Frank and Simmone stepped in to help, so we never even knew! They kept us on track and having a blast the entire day.
    When I say everyone danced, I mean even my father who acts like the quiet rock in the corner was in the middle of the dance floor.
    My husband and I are so grateful for having Frank as our DJ! He truly brough the party to life! Thank you Frank and Simmone!

    Book him asap

    Words can’t describe how great of a job Frank did at DJing our wedding. He did everything exactly the way that I had wanted, and kept the night so fun and always knew the right things to do and say at the perfect time. He is the best and you won’t need to worry about a thing by choosing him! All of our guests agreed and our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without him.

    Awesome wedding DJ

    We used Friendly Entertainment for our wedding at Stone Ridge Hollow on 10/30/22. Frank and Simmone were very friendly, professional and quick to respond. Frank had all of our guests up and dancing and we have been complimented by so many of our family and friends about how awesome our DJ was. Frank did an amazing job at accommodating our unique style of music for our special dances! Frank was also very quick and flawless when we realized we forgot to add a song for a special surprise we had for our guests. We can’t thank Frank enough and would recommend Friendly Entertainment over and over!!

    Friendly Entertainment's reply:

    ❤️ this! We enjoyed listening to your vision and working with you both to make it come true. You made our job even more fun then usual with your unique playlist and style. All the best!
