    It was important to us to have a real DJ at our wedding, and not a clown with a keyboard tie making bad jokes. Les was exactly what we were looking for! We hired her for our ceremony music, cocktail hour, and our reception dance.

    Throughout planning, Les was incredibly responsive, always professional, and super organized (very important to me)! We used Google Docs and Spotify to create "must play" and "do not play" lists. Les had great suggestions for pre-ceremony music. She knows how weddings work and offered great advice on the timeline and how to minimize announcements.

    At the wedding, she seamlessly transitioned music between the floors throughout the evening, all while moving her equipment. When the caterers put us 30+ min behind, Les consulted with us on the timeline and had a plan to make everything still work. She was flexible, put us back on schedule, and we still got everything we wanted. Les was willing to do anything to make sure our day was perfect, including moving large trees that the venue staff forgot about!

    Our caterers bombed, which left me feeling disappointed/stressed out. At that point, my husband turned to me and said "It's up to Les now." And she turned the night around! She threw the best party I’ve ever been to!

    Les is a real DJ. She knows music, she spins vinyl, she knows how to transition between songs, and she watches the guests to make sure everyone is having a good time. She played the right amount of each song and kept the party moving.

    Our guests, young and old, were on the dance floor the entire night. Our friends kept saying how awesome our DJ was, and they joked about crashing her future weddings! A month later, guests are still telling us it was the best dance party they’ve ever been to.

    We could go on and on about how wonderful and talented Les is. We have high standards, but Les exceeded every expectation we had. I wish we could give her a hundred stars! We fully, completely, totally recommend her!

    Organized, thoughtful, and observant

    Les was organized about gathering our information about the songs we wanted to hear and when. She helped us adjust timelines according to the way the guests were feeling… if they were getting restless for dessert, for example! Or ready to go home. She helped us figure out what kind of mics we needed for each person. And her music choices were great!

    Les is truly amazing

    Choosing Les for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. Her impeccable taste in music truly set the atmosphere for our special day. The way she effortlessly balanced our requests with unexpected delights kept the energy high and the dance floor packed. The crowd couldn't get enough, and neither could we. Thank you, Les, for making our wedding unforgettable!

    We Danced All Night Long

    We had an absolutely amazing wedding and reception and a big part of that was because of Les' dope music sensibilities and style. Les was fantastic to work with, detailed oriented, and wanted to make sure our event ran smoothly. She was open and willing to play a variety of music genres. And, with her eclectic music taste and catalog Les suggested the perfect dinner playlist and made sure we stayed dancing all night long. She checked in with us regularly throughout the night and ensured we were having the absolute best time. We would love to work with Les again on future events and recommend her for your musical needs.

    Dancefloor of the century

    We could not have made a better choice than going with Les as our wedding dj. Not only was she communicative and kind throughout the process—we had a lot of specific requests and questions—but she also guided us and gave us the confidence we needed to be able to relinquish control (ha!) and enjoy our reception fully. Our guests absolutely lost their minds. They couldn't believe that we had such a cool dj who managed to keep everyone (of all ages) dancing nonstop. Thank you for everything, Les!!

    Les is the Best

    We are so glad we booked Les to DJ our wedding! She has a great taste in music and a fantastic sense for how to keep a party rocking. Working with her leading up to the wedding was easy, stress free, and fun. She brought a great vibe & energy to the wedding reception, and we received A LOT of complements from all types of guests about how awesome the music was. After the wedding, the venue coordinator commented that she had “never seen the room packed with dancing for that long”. Booking Les was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!!

    Our Dream DJ!

    Les was terrific! Dedicated, attentive, fun to talk to -- and she could not have done a better job DJ-ing. She kept the dance floor packed all night and struck a perfect balance between crowd-pleasers, fun surprises, and songs that really mattered to us. We were achy from dancing after!

    Les the DJ is A VIBE!

    Les opened and closed our wedding with unique and energetic DJ sets this past weekend and it was spectacular. We had hired Les alongside a band, and kind of waited until the last minute to figure out the flow but this did not phase Les at all. She was gracious, flexible, and full of ideas for how to pull off the perfect night and incorporated all of our favorite tunes with a lounge-y vibe during cocktail hour and then a true party vibe from 10:30 until midnight. Yes, she kept people on the dance floor until midnight...! She announced the last song and then when it ended everyone started chanting "one more song!" and she obliged. It was such a fun night and she worked in a really complementary way with the folky-rock band we had play during dinner and early night dancing. One of my favorite memories is when she let me (the bride) get behind the booth, put the headset on, and "DJ" for a song or two. It was exhilarating and we got a lot of fun photos. I am hoping to work with Les for any future event and I highly recommend her to other cool brides in the DC area :)

    Les is amazing - 10/10 recommend!

    My partner and I hired Les as our DJ for our wedding in Washington, DC this past fall. Les absolutely slayed the entire evening and we would hands down recommend Les to any couple planning a wedding. Les is an accomplished DJ and we found her to be infinitely knowledgeable in terms of creating the vibe we envisioned, while also totally flexible in terms of creating an inclusive intergenerational experience that got everyone on the dance floor. Throughout the process of planning our wedding, Les was a delight to work with and get to know – she sourced specific recommendations from us and enhanced and elevated our vision beyond what we could have ever imagined. Knowing that Les was at the helm of music experience – from the ceremony to cocktail hour to dancing - was both calming and a source of joy. 10/10 would recommend!

    Excellent choice for all events!

    Les was amazing and was a big part in making our wedding such a special day! She did a superb job playing the right music at the right times to get the party started and keep it going all while making sure to play what we like. She and Oscar are lovely to deal with on all of the planning, preparations, setup, and last minute changes.

    Outstanding, A++++, run don't walk to hire Les

    Les is an outstanding DJ and human being. Working with her is honestly delightful and so low-stress. She talked to us about the vibes we wanted at our wedding, but also our general music tastes! She took our requests (even silly ones) seriously and created the perfect playlists for each part of our wedding day -- lots of our favorites, but she also has incredible taste and you can trust her to step in when you're not sure where to go. Plus she was able to navigate a tricky venue with multiple indoor and outdoor sites, and finding high-quality audio to improve on one of our requests. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!!

    Les is great!

    TLDR; Les was the best possible DJ for our wedding

    We actually found Les through Wedding Wire when looking for a woman-owned DJ company. Before that, we had three preliminary calls with booking agents from some of DC's big and highly rated DJ companies. Representatives from those other agencies were condescending and didn't take our requests seriously.

    Talking to Les was a breath of fresh air! She's comfortable working with so many styles of music, is knowledgeable and kind, and doesn't try to up-sell you on a bigger package than you need.

    The music was perfect for our ceremony, dinner and dancing. She was even a fan of the somewhat obscure music we requested for the ceremony. It was amazing.

    You should hire Les!!

    DJ Les was professional, responsive, and made our day so fun! She took our recommendations, had great ideas, and knew just what to play for the dinner and the reception. Thanks again!

    Les the DJ is just so cool.

    Les has great taste and cool ideas--we especially loved her recommendation and inclusion of Japanese pop! We loved working with her to help create the vibe of our wedding and reception. She ensured the order of events flowed smoothly, got the party going when it needed some energy, and was great at being flexible and reading the room as the night winded down. We cannot recommend Les the DJ enough and greatly enjoyed working with her in the lead up to and on the night of the wedding.

    Les totally made our wedding!

    We're so glad we hired Les for our wedding! She kept the dance floor going all night and was able to put together music that appealed to multiple generations without being corny. She had great recommendations for how the event should go and was easy to work with. Neither of us consider ourselves wedding people and working with Les felt like we were just throwing a great dance party, not a stuffy formal event.

    Best DJ I've Ever Worked With

    Working with Les was an absolute treat. Les was our 4th DJ we met with and from the first 10 minutes of meeting her, we knew we needed to hire her. She works with us in detailing out our playlist in the exact way that we wanted it. From first meeting, to music planning, to execution, Les was on top of it. Planning the event was a total breeze with Les. Since most of our songs were available on Spotify, it was easy for her to find them. Any songs not available online, we sent an .mp3 to her. Les gives great advice for songs that are good for various points of the night, which is incredibly helpful when organizing your night. Also, she did our music for the ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and dancing as well as brought her own equipment for all of it, which helped a lot.

    On the day of, Les was spot on with everything that she said was going to happen and the night went without a hitch. She was on time for all of our walk on and walk out songs, she played our favorites songs during cocktail/reception, and had no issues with playing the important songs of the night. Given that my partner and I have some esoteric tastes in music, Les was able to incorporate our music tastes into various parts of the ceremony, even the dancing. I don't think I ever saw the dance floor thin out. It was a constant party and Les was a big help in that.

    Thank you for making our night so memorable and working with us. I couldn't recommend her enough. Book her for your wedding or event.

    We Had the Best Dance Party at Our Reception

    We really enjoyed working with Les for our wedding. Our family and friends told us how much fun they had at our wedding and we LOVED our dance party. Our dance floor had people on it the entire evening. Les made it work to incorporate hip hop, pop, oldies, a Waltz, and even a Polka. We had a variety of requests for songs that were meaningful to our family!

    Absolutely amazing and a joy to work with

    Working with Les was amazing. She was well thought out, timely in her communications, flexible, and asked specific questions so she could get to know us and our music taste. We ended up with something better than we could have imagined. It was a pure joy to work with her. Les was the cherry on top that made our wedding what it was. Everyone had a good time, people were always on the dance floor and when it came to the last song ending, no one wanted to leave because everyone was having such a great time.

    You would be silly not to hire Les if you were looking for someone you could trust entirely to really make your wedding and the music spectacular.

    Highly recommend Les!

    We had such a great experience with Les as our DJ for our wedding. Full disclosure: we originally wanted a band for our wedding but when the reality of wedding prices started to set in, we decided the extra cost for a (potentially) mediocre band wasn’t worth it. We are SO glad we didn’t go with a band and went with Les instead! We had two calls with Les so she could get to know our style and preferences. She was very organized and seemed to work well with our coordinator and other vendors. At the reception, the dance floor was packed right from the start and it felt like it never emptied. We got so many compliments from friends and family raving about how much fun they had dancing at our wedding. She really got to know our style and even turned down certain requests which wouldn’t fit the vibe (lol). Again, highly recommend hiring Les as your DJ!

    Caters to Preferences and all Ages

    Everyone from their 20s to 80s absolutely loved the music. Les is very good about understanding a room and absolutely prioritizes the Bride and Groom's requests. Would recommend to anyone as she was one of our favorite vendors of the wedding!

    Incredible experience with Les

    I can't recommend Les enough. I've had the pleasure of knowing her for years --- but was also so impressed to work with her in this professional capacity as our wedding DJ. She was super easy to work with -- played incredible music all night long, from pre-ceremony, ceremony, and post-ceremony dancing that kept everyone on the dance floor. It was just great.

    Unforgettable!

    Les was calm, cool, and made our wedding unforgettable. We gave her a lot of leeway with song selection and she brought the party without any of the cheesiness you can get from wedding DJs. Leading up to the wedding, Les was on top of everything so that music was the least of my concerns as we were wedding planning. I cannot recommend Les enough!!

    Great music, great person.

    Les is terrific. It was a great mix of music, responsive to our requests but also she mixed it up in a very good way. Not only was the music fantastic, but she had her assistant take some video of the ceremony for a few people who couldn't attend.
