I was referred to DJ Karizma’s page and as soon as we spoke, I knew he was the one. He had such good energy and was super easy to talk to. What really sold me was that he’s Caribbean — my husband is Guyanese and I’m Puerto Rican, so we really wanted someone who understood both of our cultures and could bring the music together in a way that felt like us. And he did exactly that! From start to finish, Karizma brought the vibe and made the night unforgettable. He wasn’t just a DJ — he was also an awesome MC. He kept everything flowing smoothly, hyped the crowd when needed, and made sure everyone was having a great time. His energy was amazing the entire night. He mixed the perfect blend of music — we’re talking Reggaeton, Soca, Dancehall, Salsa, R&B, Hip Hop, and so much more. He read the crowd so well and kept everyone dancing all night long, from our parents to our friends and even the kids. We’ve had so many people tell us how fun the wedding was, and honestly, a huge part of that was thanks to him. If you’re looking for someone who really knows music, understands different cultures, and just gets it, DJ Karizma is your guy. We’re so happy we chose him. I’d book him again in a second!

We had the pleasure of having Evan as our wedding officiant, and we couldn’t have asked for a more thoughtful, warm, and genuine person to lead our ceremony. From the very beginning, he put great effort into getting to know us as a couple and as a family, ensuring that the ceremony truly reflected who we are. He crafted an incredibly touching and meaningful ceremony that deeply resonated with both us and our guests. One of the most special moments was the family sand ritual he proposed — a beautiful way to include not just me and my husband, but also our two boys. It made the ceremony even more personal and memorable. We are so grateful for his kindness, creativity, and the care he put into every detail. If you are looking for a personalized, heartfelt, and unforgettable wedding ceremony, we wholeheartedly recommend Evan.

We absolutely loved working with Bryauna and Jamar at Moments for Life Visuals. From booking our initial consultation to giving updates on wedding timelines to following up post wedding, they were responsive and easy to get in touch with. Jamar showed up right on time on our wedding day and we felt really comfortable with him around. He managed to capture the entire vibe of the day from the big moments to the little details. We were really on the fence about whether or not the cost of a videographer would be worth it since we already booked a photographer. Moments for Life had packages that fit with our budget and we’re so glad we booked them. Photos are great, but the videos we got are so full of life and are truly magical. If you’re on the fence about hiring a videographer - DO IT! We also really appreciated that Moments for Life gave us the raw footage of our ceremony, reception speeches, dancing, and cake cutting.

The DJ Company of Virginia 
Rating: 4.6 (8 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,195
  • Serves Susan, VA

Our trusted team of Virginia Beach DJs specialize in weddings but will bring the party to any Hampton Roads event. You and your guests will have an awesome time dancing and singing the night away. All while receiving personalized attention from a well-qualified DJ and a package that fits your budget.

Let me start off by saying that I didn't think I "needed" a DJ for my wedding, so I didn't budget for one initially. It was about halfway through wedding planning that my now-husband and I decided we should invest in one, so it would be one less thing for us to have to do on our wedding day. Budget was super important to us when booking a DJ, but we also wanted someone who was experienced and knew what they were doing. The DJ Company of Virginia did not disappoint! Nikki and Devail helped me during the booking and planning process, and helped pick the right DJ to use for our venue. When planning, we were able to suggest a bunch of songs that both of us love and also got to make a list of any songs we didn't want to hear. Our guests were able to suggest songs on their own, and I gave those to the DJ beforehand (it was a question on our RSVP form). If you wanted your guests to suggest songs during the reception, I know they would be able to do that too! Jose was the DJ for our wedding and he was super friendly and easy to talk to! My husband and I did a "fake out" for our first dance, where we made it seem like we would do the standard slow dance, but then actually use a fun, upbeat song. Jose made sure he understood what we wanted and our guests LOVED it! Jose played so many songs that I like and love that I found myself on the dancefloor a bunch. I sure got in a workout! If you need a DJ in the Hampton Roads area, you should book the DJ Co. of VA. I wasn't sure we could afford a DJ for our wedding, but their prices were perfect for our needs!

Hiring Barking Hound Productions was the best decision we made for our wedding. Their communication was prompt, thorough, and very nice throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work and value they provided was diligent, reliable, of the highest integrity, and truly exemplary. Mrs. Williams and her team created a detailed wedding timeline that kept everything on track. They coordinated seamlessly with all our vendors, ensured everything arrived on time, and even surprised us with a custom playlist for our big day when we mentioned we wouldn't have the time to make one during our final check-in. Their attention to detail made our day stress-free and uniquely ours. They brought our wedding vision to life with custom decor, from vintage pieces to personalized signage. Their creativity and dedication was unmatched and they turned our vision into something beyond what we imagined. The value we got was worth way more than the price we paid. This is the kind of service that makes your big day unforgettable. I will be forever grateful.

Lauren Michele Events provided amazing communication throughout the entire wedding planning process. Their work quality and value was truly exceptional - they made sure our wedding day schedule was kept on track, and Lauren was incredibly professional in ensuring I, as the maid of honor and florist, was able to decorate everything while still being present for the bride. Lauren went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for the bride and groom.

Sweet Life Cupcakery evolved from over a decade of catering to large public and small private events along the east coast. Our expert bakers create and design each cake with quality ingredients of love, patience, and freshness for every pleasing bite. Being a lover of carnival food and great-tasting desserts I combined both components in our over 60+ cupcake/cake flavor combinations. Please visit our website for a full menu of cupcakes, cakes, dipped strawberries, candy or caramel apples, and more. Our famous funnel cakes with selected toppings or fried oreo's are a highlighted item when our mobile dessert trailer comes to you!
