We have used Mid Atlantic DJs for all our school dances for years. Once again, it was an amazing school dance with the perfect mix of middle school appropriate music for our kids. The DJ did an excellent job of responding the crowd, changing songs so that the kids were always dancing and having fun, but the dance floor never got out of control. This year, we also added a photo booth -- the kids loved it!
The pictures turned out awesome and the kids had a great time with all the props. The people running the photo were incredible -- they encouraged the shy students to take a picture with their friends and made everyone feel beautiful and special. It was truly an amazing night!

Dynamic DJ hosted our community movie night - went amazing! Easy booking, smooth set up, great screen and speakers. Everyone had a great time. Even waiting for the movie to start was fun because they played fun music. Ready to set up another event!

My only regret is not having found them earlier. "Outdoor Movie Nights" are now a staple in the community that I manage, with high-quality Audio/Visual equipment making sure that everyone has an enjoyable experience. "The DJ Krissy Karaoke Show + GIANT Games" package is a crowd favorite, resulting in added events throughout our season. The once dormant Resident e-Bulletin is now buzzing with residents requesting more of the above events, as well as requesting Dance Parties (waltz, modern, ballroom, cultural, etc.).
It is a great relief when people do what they say they will/can do, which has been my experience with MAPDJA | Dynamic DJ Entertainment. They are consistent, provide a great value, and their experience/network is second to none. I am extremely pleased and highly recommend them.
