Washington Talent Agency

Washington Talent did a great job of guiding us to the band, Spectrum, who gave a fantastic performance at my wedding reception. Spectrum's energy and vocals kept my guests on the dance floor. George, of Spectrum, was a great MC for the event and Ben, on keyboards, had excellent song selection to keep the evening moving. My guests asked for an encore at the end of the night! I highly recommend Spectrum. They made my reception such a success!

We had the band Encore at our wedding last week and they were absolutely fantastic!!! We booked them after they played at my cousin's wedding a year ago and when I saw all of my aunts and uncles and parents, plus all of the "younger" crowd on the dance floor at the same time, I knew that I wanted them to play my wedding as well. Encore did SUCH a great job of getting everyone excited and out on the dance floor ALL NIGHT LONG, and they even learned our first dance song for us. Even though we had discussed having no impromptu performances beforehand, my husband's grandma surprised us by wanting to sing a song and the band was totally ok with that as well. It was simply an awesome night! I think it helped that we had an awesome group of guests who wanted to dance and party too, but Encore totally got the crowd going and I can't stop raving about them!!! I recommend them to anyone!

We had ONYX at our wedding on Saturday night and words can't describe how AMAZING they were!! The dance floor was packed from the minute we did our first dance until the end of the night. No one wanted the party to end! The band and all the singers had incredible energy and were out singing and dancing with the crowd all night (not in a cheesy way though). We've gotten tons of phone calls from our friends and family over the past few days telling us that our wedding was the most fun wedding they've ever been to and that is due in large part to ONYX and their phenomenal performance! They were worth every single penny!!

Onyx was the best band ever at our wedding! Everyone was raving about them the next day and talked about how amazing they played-especially for such a wide variety of music! They were really interactive on the dacefloor which had our guests super motivated and they were so much fuN!! I knew I was getting a top notch band when i signed them and they were worth every single penny! I would get them again in a heartbeat and highly, HIGHLY recommed using them. -Shannon and John

Washington Talent provided us with our Mariachis. My husband and I wanted something Latin and fun for the walk from the church to the reception as well as for cocktail hours. I am not Mexican, but this was the best option for us. We had a lot of guests from Mexico at the wedding and they were quite impressed with the mariachis. The group was also able to play music from all over Latin America which was a great plus for my Central American Family. Aside from their talent, they came on time, did a great job and really were responsive to our guests and their requests. They set the tone for the night and got everyone in a fun mood. Mission accomplished.

We booked Black Tie for our wedding and they were OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!! Ever since the wedding all we are hearing is about how incredible the band is. Strickland could not have been more flexible and accommodating. He worked with us in advance to tailor the schedule, music, and tone of the reception to our vision. He had the dance floor packed from the first song to the last. They played through the entire night without taking a break. Strickland took over the schedule/timeline to make sure that everything was taken care of from the first dances, to the toasts, to the cake cutting, and the bouquet toss. The singers were FANTASTIC!!! They got out on the dance floor and engaged the crowd. Chris' personality and dance moves helped set the tone of the party and kept everyone going. They even learned a couple songs just for our special day. At the end of the night they had a terrific send off and I thought the building was going to collapse because they had 160 people jumping in unison. Afterwards, when I asked if they'd be willing to join us at a local pub for an after party drink, I was so touched when they obliged. They made the party and truly made us feel like they were part of our family. THANKS BLACK TIE!!!

Spectrum is the best. I have been a professional DJ for 17 years and when it came time to plan the entertainment for my wedding they were my first call. They are: professional, easy to work with, friendly to your guests, the perfect party band.

Our wedding was over two weeks ago and people have not stopped talking about how amazing Prime Time was! They had everyone on the dance floor at the beginning of the reception and very few people left the floor during the course of the evening. The music catered to every age group in the audience, the timeline was spot on and Aaron was a phenomenal MC. We also had Prime Time musicians perform our ceremony music, as well as during the cocktail hour and everything sounded great. We also used Monica for photography, with Bill's assistance. The handful of pictures we've seen so far as terrific and we can't wait to see the rest and put our album together. Besides being incredibly nice people, they were very soothing to be around and helped calm some jittery nerves! Since the weather was nice, they encouraged us to take pictures in the Inner Harbor, which I would have regretted had we not done them! Shana was our event consultant and she was incredibly responsive and always willing to answer questions whenever we had them!

Bill Millios and the 2 Kyle's were beyond wonderful to work with! This was my second wedding so I have experienced wedding pictures before. I gave them a list of important people and the type of shots I was looking for ahead of time and I didn't have to think at all the day of my wedding. My wife and I got to do our thing and be ourselves and the photographers and videographer did their thing but unless we were looking right at them we wouldn't have noticed they were there! It was so much fun to have the intimate time with my wife and they captured it on film beautifully. We took a lot of fun shots and some not so traditional shots. Most of our guests were Deaf so instead of having them "sign" a guest book we had them "sign" for our video. We set up a private area and the videographer took over getting everyone to "sign" in! They were able to taylor a package to our needs both time wise and within our budget. I would recommend them to anyone for your special event photography needs!

LOVE LOVE LOVE Marc Wilner. He is the BEST! From the first time we met until the big day, he was truly someone I could count on. I was not familiar about all the items that I needed lined up for Marc and he took the time one night to walk me through the best timeline for me and my husband. Our night was just perfect, he kept the party going to the last song. He was so flexible and easy to work with, what a true professional. Definitely the best choice for any event that you are looking for the BEST DJ!

We worked with Shana at Washington Talent to coordinate all of our wedding entertainment needs. She helped us with the band, cocktail music, ceremony music, videography and lighting. It all turned out fabulous. Our music and lighting were very highly received by our guests. And we can't wait to see the videography results (as it has only been 2.5 weeks since our wedding). One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was going with ENCORE for our band after attending several free band showcases which Washington Talent offers its customers. The opportunity to see the band perform live without having to crash a wedding as some other folks recommended was a plus. Ultimately, having Encore at our wedding created a positive and energized atmosphere. We had so many people dancing before the 2nd course was even served!! Encore was perfect for our wedding crowd of all ages and musical preferences and absolutely helped to create a "fun" wedding. Their band leader (Don), vocals (Will, LC, Natasha) and instrumentalists are outstanding!!! You have to go with Encore!!In addition to the band, we thought that the group DaVinci Strings did an outstanding job during the ceremony. They played well and were very professional. We would recommend them as well. We selected a cello, violin, and flute. We thought that Jeff, the videographer did an outstanding job as well. He was ever-present, yet at the same time un-obtrusive in his coverage of the wedding.The lighting looked great for the wedding ceremony and reception. We worked with Shana to create the perfect lighting setup for our color vision. We had some questions about dancefloor lighting and Shana set us up with Carroll, who did a fine job explaining the nuances of the options and his recommendations were perfect. Overall, we would absolutely love to work with Washington Talent and especially Encore again!!!UPDATE: We received our copy of the BluRay for the ceremony and reception, and the results were outstanding! Jeff's videography and editing turned out fantastic! I would highly recommend.

I can't say enough good things about both Washington Talent Agency but more specifically the band, Millenium. They were AMAZING!!!! We had booked them based on the video clips and their song list but then heard them in person at a bridal show and were wow'ed! Little did I know that they were even more amazing than that. They truly made the reception! Everyone raved that they were the BEST band they've every heard at a wedding. John Hart was great to work with on the front end and Travis the lead singer (former contestant on American Idol) made sure that everything happened as it should. They did a terrific job on figuring out what type of music to play when. They got EVERYONE on the dance floor. We couldn't have been happier with them!!! BOOK THEM!!!!!!

Love love this company! My agent Marc Wilner was amazing. He helped and guided me throughout the entire process. My DJ Chuck was incredible. He planned a great reception timeline with me. His music control for the ceremony was effortless and perfect. As for the reception, he kicked butt! He played a wide range of music to get everyone on the dance floor which he did successfully. At one point, everyone but 2 people were on the dance floor. He even mentioned that's the first time he's seen that. We worked well together to make that happen. I would definitely recommend him and the Washington Talent Agency.

Onyx recently played for our wedding reception on October 8th, 2011 at the Willard Intercontinential hotel in DC. Their performance far surpassed anything that I could have dreamed of for our wedding reception. All of our guests danced the night away and loved interacting with the band members. They played all of the songs we requested and even learned new songs for some of our special dances. I am incredibly grateful for all of their efforts, the party would not have been as amazing as it was without them. I can't even count the amount of guests who came up to me and said that was the best wedding band they have ever heard! Thank you Onyx!

Washington Talent Agency was very easy to work with from the start. Even though I was fairly set on Spectrum (from a glowing recommendation I had received), they sent us a disc of available bands for our date. They were all great and it was a hard decision. Spectrum though was amazing and we were more than happy with our choice. Ben and the band were so easy to work with and any request we had, they met. Even requests during the wedding, they were than happy to do! Everyone at the wedding LOVED them. My father, who can be pretty hard to please, but loves a good band, was especially impressed and was on the dance floor the whole time. They did a great job of getting everyone on the dance floor and keeping them there with a great mix of current hits and all time favorites. From older to younger, everyone was out there dancing and having a ball. What I thought was especially impressive was that the band never stopped, except when people were talking of course! Someone was always playing or singing something appropriate to the mood while we were eating and then once we were ready to dance, they never stopped! I would, and already have, recommend Spectrum and Washington Talent Agency to anyone! Thanks, Spectrum for giving everyone at the wedding a fun night to remember!

We used Millennium for our wedding and could not be happier. I can't even put into words how AMAZING they were that night. We didn't even talk to them about what to play that night and they knew exactly how to work the crowd. I saw people dancing that I have never seen dance in my life! They were truly the hit of the wedding. I'm still getting calls about how amazing they sounded. Our only regret is that we didn't video tape the wedding so we could hear them again!! Thank you, thank you!!! Incredible band and Travis was a gem as the leader of the band. He knew exactly what to play from the light dinner music to getting the crowd moving after dinner. I can't wait to have a party and hire them again!!!

Marc was the most amazing person to work with! He was very upbeat, flexible, fun, and easy to work with. We loved how he checked in with us throughout the night to make sure we were having fun. The songs he played at the wedding were perfect. The dance floor was packed the whole night. We were married almost 3 months ago and people are still talking about how much fun they had at the wedding. We had the most amazing night!

Onyx is absolutely incredible!!!! If you want a high energy, interactive, non stop party, you need to hire this band. My husband and I got married on 9/24 and we never once left the dance floor! All of the band members were terrific and they seriously gave us the party of our lives. They never really stopped - they even skipped one of their scheduled breaks because we were all having so much fun and they didn't want to interrupt the party. Our guests continue to rave about the band, they had young and old out on the floor dancing for hours. David, band manager, was so accommodating and responsive to all of our requests and even drove an hour and a half to meet with us face to face before the wedding. We cannot say enough good things about this group. Thank you Onyx for making our wedding celebration one we will never forget!!!!

We had DJ Marc Wilner of Washington Talent DJ our wedding on 9/24/11. Marc was extremely professional and very easy to work with. He kept the party going and everyone had a great time dancing all night. We were married on a boat which is not a typical venue, but it was no problem for Marc. I would highly recommend Marc Wilner for any DJ services because he rocks. Thanks Marc, Kristen & Jeremy.

This is a review for DJ Marc Wilner. I am thrilled to write this review and I wish, I could give him more than five stars. From the very first interaction Marc was professional, responsive and easy to work with. He was very helpful and always available during our planning process. The wedding wend great, many of our l guests complemented him several times. Hire Marc and you will not be disappointed!!!!!!! He is great!!!
