    Once In A Lifetime Night!

    I cant say enough about our DJ Mike. From the initial call in the spring to actually meeting him in October, he was incredibly responsive and easy to work with. He knows what couples are looking for from his many years of experience. We felt completely comfortable providing a few guidelines and then letting him take it away. Our guests loved him and our parents were touched when we played their first dance songs at our reception. Wish we could do it all over again!

    An Amazing Night!

    I can't say enough about how great our DJ Jae was. He helped with picking the music and the organizing of the night!

    Michael was the best to work with. During our meeting a couple weeks before our wedding he helped suggest songs for the entrances, guest arriving music and dinner music that were all absolutely perfect. On our wedding day, he arrived early and was set up long before the ceremony was to start - which if that is not reassurance I don't know what is! He helped make sure the bridal party knew what they were doing during the entrances and also made sure he pronounced all our names right. The way he MC'd through the reception was perfect...even when we did the shoe game and had a list of questions for him to ask, the way he asked them and added commentary made it all the funnier. On top of everything, the way he reads the crowd during the night and plays the music made the reception the best. From everything we heard, everyone had so much fun and we have to give credit to having the best DJ!

    We worked with Michael and had a great experience with Horizon Entertainment! He was responsive throughout the process and made planning our playlist very easy. We were also able to meet him before our wedding to talk about details, which was very helpful. On our wedding day everything ran smoothly across every transition, and we were all on the dance floor enjoying the music the entire night!

    Michael did a fantastic job DJ'ing our wedding and kept our guests dancing all night! He had a simple website used to plan and communicate all of the music. He met with us a few weeks before the wedding to review the timeline and some of the important songs and always responded quickly when we had questions or wanted his input on song choices. He has extensive experience with weddings and other events and it showed. He kept the evening flowing nicely and let the music do the talking for him, which is exactly what we asked for. Overall, we would recommend Horizon (Michael) to all of our family and friends looking for a DJ in the DC area.

    I don't even know where to start with how AMAZING Horizon Entertainment is! The music was extremely important to my husband and Micheal was nothing short of fantastic! Micheal was a pleasure to work with and met us prior to the wedding to discuss our must haves in terms of ceremony music, reception music, announcements and introductions. He was spectacular! The party was so fun that we kept it going for an hour longer and Micheal was totally agreeable. I would highly recommend Horizon Entertainment as your next DJ. You get a professional service with great equipment too!

    DJ Mike from Horizon was fantastic. He met with us ahead of time to talk out the details and to get a sense of us as a couple. When we sought his advice on songs, he had the best recommendations. He was friendly yet professional and the timeline for the reception and ceremony went so smoothly. Our dance floor was never empty and the reception was a blast. We would definitely recommend Mike as a DJ!

    If you are looking for the best DJ around, then look no further. Book Michael now! We could not have been more happy with our DJ experience with him. He was fantastic to work with. Michael played for our Cocktail hour and for our reception. He listened to what we wanted and more importantly, kept the dance floor hopping the entire evening. The sound quality is awesome with his Bose equipment. The guests were raving about how much they enjoyed him and his music. Our experience was more than we ever expected with him! You will not regret booking this fantastic DJ....!!! On another note, my brother, who lives in NC, booked Michael also for his wedding in NC. He was so impressed with him at our wedding. We attended that wedding this past weekend, and again, Michael was amazing! This time we experienced the sound system for the wedding ceremony. Then for the reception time, he included his fantastic lighting system. We would highly recommend him. He deserves more than 5 stars!

    I was referred to Michael by two other friends who'd had him DJ their weddings. I liked what I saw so asked him to do our wedding (cocktail hour and reception) on July 8th. He gave us an excellent rate and was thorough in going over all the songs for our cocktail hour and reception a couple of times (one main phone call, one follow up closer to the date). He gave a good suggestion to replace the traditional bouquet / garter toss, which my husband and I didn't want to do. We instead did an anniversary dance, during which couples were asked to keep staying the higher the year they'd been married and it turned out great! We had a great mix of music, and everyone kept dancing the entire time - even asking / begging for an encore at the end of the night! Michael truly made our wedding reception a memorable and exciting evening. I highly recommend him.

    Michael set our wedding on FIRE!!! All of our family and friends in attendance had nothing but great things to say. One of my good buddies came up and said "Man, you guys did well hiring a DJ who doubles as a hype man!" What a treat it was to not have to worry about the songs that would be played and whether there would be dead/awkward silence. Michael really knows what he is doing and how to integrate the music selection with the crowd. Our guests were of all different backgrounds...Caucasian, African American, Hispanic, Middle Eastern, Asian, you name it!!! Michael had everyone on their feet and having a grand ol' time. I would highly recommend Horizon for your special day!

    We hired Horizon Entertainment for our wedding. David, our DJ was amazing! Our guests had a blast, he helped us with the music and the flow of the songs was just perfect! He read the crowd and kept the party going. I have never been to a wedding where the dance floor was full the whole night, and at our wedding it was. David was absolutely amazing, you could not go wrong in hiring this company and I fully recommend hiring David as your DJ!

    We worked with David Jefferies and we are so happy that we did! David was extremely helpful and responsive as we were leading up to the day. He gave us a ton of advice on various aspects of the wedding day, beyond just the DJ parts. We decided not to use a day-of coordinator and David went above and beyond to ensure we were running smoothly through everything we had planned and stepped in to help with "the little things" to keep us on track. He brought a ton of energy to the dance floor. My dad felt especially comfortable and grateful for David as he helped to set a great mood for both the key dances and speeches of the evening. "DJ Dave" set the perfect mood for our perfect day and I would give Horizon Entertainment and David 6 stars if I could!

    Working with Dave was a blast! He arrived early to set up and gave clear instructions to the bridal party and myself and my wife on the events of the day. He kept the party going and for the crowd out on what tunes to play next. We are a Latin family and he kept everyone on the dance floor with all of the songs we requested. We had so much fun meeting and working with Dave. His warm and friendly personality, professionalism, experience, and positive attitude will keep everyone on the dance floor! Thanks Dave for everything and putting up with the unbearable heat on our wedding day!! I highly recommend Horizon Entertainment!

    We just had our wedding on May 28, 2016. Michael was fabulous to work with, he always responded within a day or two and he was very easy to get a long with. We accidentally paid too much and he told us immediately and sent a check in the mail with the difference.

    During the wedding night he brought some lights that we didn't even ask for and they looked great! He played great songs and everyone had an amazing time. Thank you so much Micheal!

    We couldn’t have been happier with the decision to hire Horizon Entertainment. Mike did a great job explaining their services and set us up with the best package for us. Since he was familiar with our venue (Inn at Vint Hill, Warrenton, VA), he knew exactly what we needed and made recommendations for making our night memorable. Our DJ was Dave Jefferies (DJ Dave), and he was AMAZING! We had two in-person meetings with him prior to the ceremony and reception, and his professionalism ensured we were all on the same page. Horizon Entertainment has a website where you enter all the info about the ceremony, schedule, and music you want. This is then used by the DJ to manage the day. The system was easy to use and Horizon Entertainment had a huge catalogue of music to choose from. DJ Dave has many years’ experience, and he provided several tips and advice to make the best of the DJ services. His attention to detail assured us, leaving us with one less thing to worry about for the big day. He arrived several hours early to ensure everything was setup. Everything went as planned for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception.

    Now more about DJ Dave… Many of our guests came up to us during and after the wedding complimenting the fantastic job he did. He was outgoing, friendly, and has a persona and voice that definitely left a positive impression for everyone in attendance. We’ve both been to several weddings where the DJ was “quirky” or just didn’t interact well with the guests. DJ Dave was truly amazing and exceeded our expectations far beyond our imagination. Thank you to DJ Dave and Horizon Entertainment for helping make our big day memorable!

    We were first introduced to Horizon Entertainment at the Washington Bridal Show in the Patriot Center (Eagle Bank Arena) and were very pleased with what we saw. We didn't have a very large budget for our wedding but our DJ, Michael, was very understanding and worked with us to give us a top notch experience for our reception. He was very professional and classy, and he did an excellent job at getting people out on the dance floor. A few months after our wedding, we were thrilled to see him again at a friend's wedding who had been so impressed with him at ours that she booked him on the spot.

    We highly recommend Horizon Entertainment and would be excited to use them again! They are extremely professional and work with you to give the best experience possible.

    Working with Michael (the owner and our DJ) was one of the most pleasant vendor experiences we had during our wedding process. He always gave us as much time as we needed during each phone and in-person planning meeting, and we never felt rushed or pressured in any way. We were impressed with the online planning tool they provided, which allowed us to easily create a schedule for the day as well as submit music selections for various parts of the evening. Even though we had a large, challenging, and unique venue, Michael handled it as if he had been there many times before. He arrived appropriately early and set up a high quality sound system which provided wonderful sound throughout the evening. Michael also stayed true to the requests we made regarding the feel we desired for different portions of the night, and had definite expertise at feeling the mood of the crowd to keep everyone (from older, shy couples to our 30-something single friends, to children/teenagers) dancing all night long. We and our guests enjoyed the fantastic adaptive uplighting which changed color depending on song and time in the reception. He even went above and beyond and handled some basic tasks for us, including communication with the venue and caterer, things that were not directly DJ related. You know you’re working with a true professional when many guests take the time to complement your vendors. Michael was a perfect DJ we would recommend to anyone.

    Horizon Entertainment was awesome! I spoke to Michael when we were finalizing the contract and he was very accommodating and personable.
    Dave was our DJ and he was AWESOME! We met him at a Wedding Expo and my husband and I knew he would be a perfect fit for our wedding. He got the crowds attention so well and made sure everything stayed on schedule. So many of our guests and even our caterers said he was the best DJ they've ever seen. There is no way our wedding would have ran as smoothly without Dave. Their website allows you to pick all the songs you want played and all the songs you don't want played. It even has suggestions of popular songs if you get stuck. They're the best!

    I had the privilege of having Michael as the DJ for my ceremony and reception. He was absolutely FANTASTIC! Right from the beginning we had a great experience with Michael. We met in person to go over everything and make our first payment with him 1-2 months before the payment and then kept in touch through texts, phone calls, and emails right up until the event. He was incredibly responsive and was able to get back in touch with me ASAP at all times. Horizon Entertainment has a fantastic online tool which allowed me to map out the whole day and select all the songs I wanted played at the reception as well as a tool to show me the top songs played at weddings to give me an idea of where to go with my selections. About a week before the wedding was when things were really coming together and he helped me out so much with finalizing my music selections and actually recommending some great tracks and suggestions that we used for the big day. On the actual day he arrived early and put me at ease with his enthusiasm and helpfulness. The music for my ceremony was absolutely perfect. Once we got to the reception we really got to see him in action and is was great. Michael was able to read the crowd and played all the right songs at all the right times. My family could not stop ranting and raving about him and how much fun we had which was in large part from his excellent service and skills. He even was there at the end of the night helping the venue get things together AFTER the wedding was done. He was nonstop! Using Horizon Entertainment for my wedding was one of the best choices we made and I couldn't have been happier. Thank you so much Michael! It was the best day of my life in case I didn't tell you enough :)

    Michael was the DJ for our daughter's wedding -- And he was great! From his fun planning website to his experienced recommendations, the preparation was easy and enjoyable. Working in a challenging venue that limited his ability to broadcast in some rooms of the facility, Michael had everything set up and ready the moment or guests began to arrive. More than that, since we were working without a wedding planner, Michael flawlessly served as our "Master of Ceremonies" keeping all of the varied events on track with engaging and witty announcements, some of which he had to do without a microphone. His winning personality and infectious enthusiasm ensured the wedding party and all our guests had a wonderful time. This he was able to accomplish with a particularly difficult crowd -- not a group naturally given to dancing. He assured us he would get everyone up and dancing. We didn't believe this could be done -- but Michael did it! A truly memorable occasion, made all the more so by Michael's professionalism! If we had another wedding or similar event, without a doubt Michael would be our DJ again! We recommend him most highly for any event you want to enjoy!

    We chose Horizon Entertainment off a recommendation from our wedding venue. After meeting with Derek, we were sold. However, after several months we received an e-mail from Derek advising us that he was no longer with the company. This concerned us as we liked his energy and style. Luckily, Michael stepped in as a professional and rectified the situation. He accommodated us and provided everything we needed and more. In the end, Michael was a perfect fit for our wedding. Michael arrived on-time, and was able to setup for the ceremony, which was outdoors. During this time, he also setup wireless speakers inside the uniquely shaped venue, as well as another outdoor station for the cocktail hour and dancing.

    Michael stayed true to our style of music and our requested songs, while mixing in guest requests. During the dancing, everyone was on the dance floor and having a great time. This was due to do his ability to read the crowd and play the right songs. I enjoyed his love for 80's music, and was happy he listened to all of my requests. I was very pleased with the service I received, and the quality of the sound. I would recommend Michael to anyone looking for a DJ who is enthusiastic about music, flexible with style, and charismatic.
