    Hands down the best DJ out there!

    Grant is extremely professional, organized, high energy, and so much fun. After working with him, we can honestly say we couldn’t have asked for a better DJ for our wedding day.

    Prior to the wedding, Grant asked us to share with him songs and artists we liked as well as a list of do not play songs. He used that as inspiration for the evening and totally nailed our music preferences.

    He played the music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, and everything went off without a hitch. His attention to detail was obvious during the entire event. There was some wind during our ceremony, and Grant was in the back fine tuning our microphone the entire time to ensure that our vows came through clearly.

    As soon as it was time for dancing, Grant got literally every single guest out on the dance floor! There wasn’t a single moment in the night when the dance floor wasn’t full. It was amazing to see how seamless his transition was from an elegant dinner to an absolutely amazing, high energy party. Grant read the crowd really well and strategically played a great mix of songs (for every age group) and then as he saw a bigger presence of the younger crowd towards the end of the night, he was able to cater the song selection perfectly to us. We had so many friends tell us how much fun they had and how amazing our DJ was.

    We also rented the photo booth from him and it was an absolute hit. High quality, fun, digital photos that we will definitely look back on for years to come!

    We absolutely could not have asked for a better DJ and highly recommend him to anyone!

    Great to work with. Highly recommended!

    We greatly enjoyed working with this vendor. Grant was very accommodating to our requests, provided a lot of structure and guidance around service offerings, and was an integral part of our amazing evening.

    Most importantly, he was a lot of fun. My wife and I danced all night and had a great time. Highly recommended.

    Amazing DJ - Highly Recommend

    Grant or better known as DJ Aria was recommended to us by a friend, and we could not have had a better DJ at our wedding! Grant exceeded our expectations on all aspects of our wedding reception. Prior to the wedding he was very responsive and organized making sure he knew our detailed schedule of events, preferred music concepts, and exact versions of our special songs (e.g., first dance). At our wedding he was absolutely amazing from being an awesome MC to keeping the dance floor packed. His music transitions were flawless and we could tell he was an experienced DJ. Grant was very professional and took the extra effort to ensure our wedding ran smoothly. Our guests specifically commented on how impressed they were with our DJ. I would highly recommend Grant for a wedding or any other event for that matter. We hope to see Grant at future events because he guarantees a great time!

    Grant (DJ Aria) Killed It!! So many happy guests!

    Grant was awesome throughout the entire process! Very organized and professional, quick to respond, and talented at his craft. We threw a few curveballs at him with some impromptu special dances, song requests and a garter toss fake-out and he handled it all seamlessly! We had so many compliments on his song selection/mixing ability and high energy performance! We had such an awesome time and I highly recommend him for your special day!

    Excellent, Professional & SO FUN!

    Grant was great - we always received prompt communication from him throughout the entire wedding planning process, even when our game plan changed multiple times. We gave him a general idea of what we'd like to hear but never were super specific about song choices/what not to play --- HE NAILED IT! Our dance floor was packed & so fun the entire night, I've honestly never been to a wedding where the dance floor was just so fun! We would recommend him to family or friends, in a heartbeat!

    Highly recommend!

    DJ Aria is the best! He was the DJ for our wedding in October right outside of Philly and he had the dance floor packed all night long! He knew exactly how to work the crowd and played the best dance songs from old school classics and current day hip-hop – there wasn’t a moment the dance floor wasn’t full. DJ Aria was super responsive from Day 1 and so helpful in planning the night out from the ceremony through the last song and all events in between. We would recommend Play Productions to all our friends and family for any events looking for a great DJ for entertainment! I can’t wait for our next event we host that we can use them for! Thank you for being such an important part of our day!

    Grant was simply the perfect choice for us. Our wedding was a blend of three cultures, and the music for the evening reflected that in the best way possible. We appreciated Grant's flexibility in working with a few performers throughout the night and making sure everything went on schedule. All our guests had a blast!! In the months and weeks leading up to the wedding, Grant was very responsive, organized, and creative in helping us prepare the entertainment for the evening. We wholeheartedly recommend Grant and Play Productions for all!

    He did our wedding on short notice and we couldn't be happier. Very organized, responsive, a great playlist, and knowledgeable about so many different genres of music. He really did set the mood for our ceremony and guests. He was also considerate of our budget. Can't say enough nice things. I would definitely recommend him to anyone in search of a capable and charismatic entertainer.

    We were so impressed with Play Productions and their help to make our wedding day perfect! We worked together from the beginning to determine the kind of sound and tone we wanted for our ceremony and reception and everything was perfect! The ceremony music was beautiful and expertly timed, and they kept the dance floor full at all times with high energy, fun music at our reception! We would highly recommend them!

    This vendor went WELL above my expectations! Communication was as often as we need it to be, it was perfect! We could not have imagined anything better than what we received. Professional, fun, and everything else! We received many compliments on our DJ choice and questions about who it was so they could recommend. I am happy to answer any questions anyone may have!

    Play Productions is awesome! Music was important to us, so we booked pretty early on, like almost a year prior to our wedding. Grant met with us immediately after contacting him to start figuring out exactly what we wanted and what our vision was. After we sat down with him, we realized how much we liked him and decided to contract with him to do the music for our ceremony and cocktail hour as well. Along the way, he was very professional, easy to communicate with, and was very flexible with our needs. Grant even scheduled a walk-through at our venue to meet with the site coordinator, see what equipment they had, and made sure that all his stuff would be compatible. We met up with Grant again a few weeks before our wedding just to make sure everything was secure with our plan. We had a shared document that we could update with all our "special" songs, along with must-play and do-not-play songs. We trusted him fully, so we only put a few on there for each category and let him in fill in the rest for our big day, and we heard so many compliments on the music choice! The dance floor was never empty the whole night, and all our guests told us how much fun they had. A few even said they had never been tempted to go out onto the dance floor during a wedding before. If you are looking for a DJ for your wedding or other event, get Grant now before he books up!

    My Wife and I decided to have a non-traditional wedding in DC which meant we would be looking for all of our own ceremony and reception locations as well as our own vendors for everything. After we found the perfect location for our cocktail reception we had to find a DJ that would help ensure it was a fun party! We heard about Play Productions LLC through a mutual friend and decided to start there with our DJ search. Once we spoke with Grant we knew we were done with our search! During the entire process leading up to our event Grant was available anytime we had questions or wanted to meet to review the space; he even met with us by phone one evening after 9pm because we had busy schedules. When he came to review the current DJ and space set-up he brought along a co-worker for assistance in evaluating the space and sound. Prior to seeing the space Grant conveyed that he had all the equipment he would need from speakers and mixers to wireless microphones and event request cards that guests could fill out. After seeing the space it was decided that he would be able to use some equipment at our location and supplement with some of his own stuff.

    Prior to the event we communicated with Grant using online document to build out our music play (and DO NOT PLAY) lists and also to finalize the day of event timeline and announcement details. This made the process really easy for both of us because we could finish this any day or night (which as you will come to find out most of the wedding planning happens late after work :) ).

    The day of our event Grant was professional and perfect for our event! Even now we continue to get comments on how much fun our wedding and reception were and how great the DJ was. Our reception was a wonderful party for everyone who attended and we will continue to provide Play Productions LLC and Grant with referrals as we have many friends with weddings coming up. If you need a DJ for your wedding or any event call and ask for Grant!

    I cannot say enough good things about working with Grant as our DJ for our wedding!! Not only did he provide music during our cocktail hour, dinner and reception, he also did the up lighting in our reception room. We couldn't have been more thrilled with how the room looked. He did a great job of setting the right moods at the right time with his music choices. Once it was party time, he got everyone on the dance floor and the fun times didn't stop until the end. He played a great variety of music and made sure he played our favorites. He was also helpful in ensuring the timeline was accurate and followed. I would highly recommend working with Grant for your wedding or any event!

    Really have nothing but good things to say, good knowledge of music and different music styles and different ages, not just the recent hits, we had songs from the 60's to 2015, and from country music to electronic, rap and even some songs in Spanish!

    He also served as a DJ and it was perfect, there wasn't much that he needed to do, but he knew who had a say and was aware of what to ask before and during the event, he met us a couple of time to see the space and make suggestions while listening and respecting our wishes and opinions.

    Finally, he was patient and professional with the usual guests who are too helpful with songs to play once the party had been going of for a few hours.

    Awesome Service.
    The wife was in charge up setting up most of the wedding. I was put in charge of drinks and music. I phoned a groomsman and asked if he knew anybody? He mentioned a resident DJ that played in clubs before. I contacted Play Productions and had a list ready of genres and songs that I'd appreciate; and ones i'd like to steer away from (majority of the top 40). We concluded our conversation which left me confident that he fully understood my requests.
    Come wedding day, Grant (DJ and owner) was extremely professional. My friends and family alike had nothing but positive things to say about the music. So naturally I felt like a hero that night!
    Let's not forget, last but certainly not least, the wife was pleased.
