Reviews of Exclusively Entertainment (Event Planner)

Leana Derbarghamian

Couldn't be happier with the service I get from the staff of Exclusively Entertainment! From musicians, DJs, MC's, to uplighting, monogramming, photography/videography and even party coordination. I have used Exclusively Entertainment for pretty much all of my events (two baptisms, engagement party, birthday parties, etc). Each time, they have wow'd me and that says a lot coming from someone who takes pride in being picky. I'm hard to please to say the least but all I have to do is tell them what we want, and they literally make it happen. I have also rented uplighting for now two different parties. The most recent party we had was a 200 person formal baptism. The uplighting was placed in locations allowing for the perfect amount of texture to the room (def recommend uplighting to any event/party). In addition, we have had three separate DJ's to date and I now fully entrust Exclusively Entertainment to hand-pick for me the DJ that would best suit the event. Whether it's Armenian, Persian, Arabic, Greek, Russian, House, and yes, even Kids Bop music. Can't thank you enough!! Highly recommend.

If you are looking for a DJ for your event, look no further! Iman and his team are extremely professional and very easy to get a hold of throughout the entire process. It was definitely one of the aspects of the wedding planning I didn't stress over. They even helped us tremendously tie in a separate band used for the ceremony and cocktail hour. When it came time for the reception, our DJ Ramin was spectacular! Literally, at no point was our dance floor empty. The hits never stopped; it was like we were at a club! Ramin read the crowd perfectly and always knew what to play. Even at the end when we needed to stop, our guests kept shouting "One more song!, One more song!" That's certainly a sign of a great time. Ramin obliged and the guests got to dance for a few more songs. Not only was the music great, Ramin MC'd the entire evening; he coordinated when the various speeches needed to be given, when food was served, etc. You must hire these guys immediately!

AMAZING Services! I had the previllage to have my bar mitzvah services and party hosted my Exclusively entertainment and my parents made the right choice, amazing people and amazing customer service. It was a night me and my family and friends will never forget, thanks to Iman and the team!

Moriah Thomas Parker

Iman and his crew were great.We received uplighting and pinspot lighting services. A few weeks prior to the wedding my coordinator changed the preparation timeline and informed me that the lighting would need to be setup over an hour earlier. I contacted Iman and he was able to ensure setup time could be moved earlier at no extra cost. We were very happy with our services from Exclusively Entertainment. I highly recommend them!

Fola Akintomide

I want to say a very big thank you to Exclusively Entertainment for a job well done and for the services provided during my birthday party on Friday October 12, 2018. I really appreciate the excellent customer service, prompt response and follow up provided by the team right from the first day I made my inquiry, through out the process to execution and delivery. Exclusively Entertainment paid attention to all the details and was willing to work with me to ensure I had a lovely event. The technicians who came to set up arrived on time, very professional and friendly. Plus, set-up was completed in a timely manner. The up-lighting was beautiful, the intelligent lights added a touch of elegance to the ballroom, the monogram projection was simply perfect. Wow! the ballroom was so beautiful and everything well coordinated. My guests had a great experience and lasting impression about the party. I really look forward to doing more business with your team. Thank you so much for working with me all the day way. I am highly satisfied with the services provided and I give the Exclusively Entertainment team a Five Star rating for a job well done!

Bahar Sharif

Iman and his team are simply the best in the industry. They are professional, courteous and responded to every detail of the event with utmost diligence. Their sense of community support is outstanding. Thank you EE for volunteering your services to Project Turquoise's fundraising event. You guys rock!

Yevgeniya Nusinovich

These guys were pretty good, but somehow both doing too much and disappointing at the same time, so we were left with a sense of wasted potential. Before our Bat Mitzvah party, they went through everything with us in detail over multiple video calls, and each time we tried to convey that we don't want a ton of pomp and formality, but want to take it easy and have as much fun as we can. However, it doesn't seem like that came across very well. Here are a couple of examples. They asked us what we wanted for our second song and whether we'd be OK with YMCA. We said OK, figuring that a second song is just that - the second song they play. It turned out that the second song was when they call up the whole family to dance on stage, so we found ourselves at a Jewish event dancing on a raised stage to a song about a Christian organization, which we don't even like and only agreed to include because it's popular. It totally clashed with the spirit of the event, and we didn't want to dance on the stage in the first place, but no one ever asked or told us we'd be expected to do that. Later in the event, a bunch of guests decided to leave earlier than we had intended, so we asked the DJs to play the song we had intended as the last hora, which was a song we really liked and wanted to highlight. This way, we figured we'd do it while we still had as many guests as possible, and everyone could dance to it. They played it as we requested, but with an announcement that this is the last dance, so of course as soon as the song was over, everyone started leaving, when we had hoped the remaining guests would stay and dance with us for a while longer. As a result, there were a lot of songs and activities (including the photo booth that we paid extra for) that we didn't actually get to because the party got cut short. I really wish they hadn't insisted on the rigid plan of having official first song, second song, etc. followed by an official last song, but just played music and did their games with the kids. Also, for some reason they didn't play any of the songs the guests requested, which the kids then complained about, possibly because they didn't fit into their planned scheme for the event. Update: it turned out that many of the issues with the endpoint of the event and guests feeling rushed to leave were caused by the restaurant, not the DJ team, so I'm upgrading from 3 to 4 stars. Still not 5 stars because I feel that the communication between the DJs and us could have been better, but the restaurant staff were clearly the bigger problem.

Mark Materna

These guys are simply the best. DJ Enferno was awesome, and Iman handled everything seamlessly. We cannot recommend this company enough.

Shireen Dholoo

Highly recommend EE and will definitely be using their services in the future for any of my photography, cinematography and lighting needs! My amazing fiancé reached out to EE with his surprise proposal plan for me and thanks to EE, his vision became a reality...and an unforgettable evening for us both. I’ll cherish our footage from his surprise proposal for a lifetime. To my man and “Exclusively Engaged”...bravo & THANK YOU!!!

Mona A

I have received a great service for my new year party ! I highly recommend DJ Shahab , who did a fantastic job to make our party a night to remember for all of our guests . Almost everyone said what a wonderful time they had, and I owe big part of it to Exclusively Entertainment which was obvious from being a professional company which facilitated all this and made that happen. I had many people coming to me asking who the DJ was. DJ Shahab did a brilliant job of choosing the right tunes and kept everyone dancing all night ! It was the first time I was meeting him and I really appreciate his patience, politeness, and personality . Its really hard to keep everyone happy with different moods , taste and age ! Thanks to him and Iman both and I wish more success for them :)

Guita Irani

DJ TeloNelo Nima and Naeem, You rocked the party last night! Thank you so much for the professional entertainment you provided and the care you handled every request with. The set up, the lighting and the music mix was the best! We couldn't ask for better DJs. Iman, Children of Persia is lucky to have you as a supporter and a friend. For the past 5 years, our Valentine Charity Dance entertainment has been most fun and smoothly run with a packed dance floor because of EEs service. Thank you for year-after-year great memories.

Isaac Dayan

If I could have rated as 10 star I would have. Can't say enough about this team...Iman, Payam, Ramzy, Joe and Tina our family friend who introduced us to this fantastic group to perform in our daughter's Bat Mitzvah. From the first moment to the last, every single person whom I know had never danced before was engaged. They were so good that even at the end of the party, people didn't want to leave! if you are looking for a team to complete your entertainment, do not look any further.

Joanna Marie

From the beginning of our wedding planning, my fiancé and I agreed entertainment would be a priority. We wanted our guests engaged and dancing all night long. My husband and I dreaded having one of those cheesy wedding deejays and trust me, there were ton to choose from. Given my high standards as a nightlife professional, bride, and many friends who offered to deejay our wedding, I turned to DJ Saam. Saam is one of my favorite deejays in the DC club scene and while it is one thing to deejay in a club, Saam is incredibly talented and amazing at reading a crowd and this is what I wanted for our wedding. Saam is a professional, hardworking, and overall genuine person. Saam’s affiliation with Exclusively Entertainment only sweetened the deal. He introduced us to Iman who was so hospitable, accommodating, and really cares about delivering the best experience ever, which is something we really appreciated and loved. EE is almost a “one stop shop” delivering high quality services that we decided to not only hire EE for deejay services but we chose lighting and photo booth packages as well. This made coordination of vendors a breeze and one less thing for a stressed out bride to worry about. The EE team were true ROCKSTARS and worked well coordinating the event with our wedding planners. Our lighting really made a difference in transforming the venue space, guests enjoyed the photobooth and DJ Saam had a packed dance floor all night long. Our guests rave about our wedding, say how our wedding was the best wedding they’ve ever attended, and how they’ve never danced so much at a wedding and to us, that is just priceless! My fiancé and now husband are so happy we hired and trusted Saam, Iman, and the EE team. We wholeheartedly recommend them for your entertainment needs (Hands down!). To Iman, Saam, and the EE team, we are SO grateful to you for all of your hard work, drive for excellence, and helping us and our guests make memories on our wedding day that will last a lifetime!

Working with EE was the easiest process - and it was FUN! From start to finish, every person we worked with was knowledgeable, professional, and organized. And they really, truly listened to our suggestions, wants, and needs for the ceremony and reception. Everything ran super smoothly. The lighting was set up exactly how I wanted - soft, and pretty. The music was killer and our MC Joe kept everything on time and upbeat. The only time I got off the dancefloor was for dinner and to cut the cake - our DJ, Payam, was AMAZING! Both Payam and Joe even made sure we were fed and ran any changes by us throughout the night. This team seriously was incredible, and I can't thank them enough for making our night so special and so fun.

I went to a wedding in Miami put together by EE and it was by far one of the BEST weddings I have ever been to. The music was on point with the perfect transitions between dance and dining music and every moment was beyond organized and smooth. I have kept up with their events ever since and really haven't seen anything else that compares to their work and attention to detail. In addition, the CEO, Iman, is a very authentic and overall good person who does a lot of philanthropic work for his community on his own and with the company. A top tier special events company like EE that isn't cut throat and money-driven but rather run by good-hearted people is extremely rare, so if you have the opportunity to book them, do it! You'll be so happy you did.

Alexis Canady

I had a surprise 31st for my boyfriend and Exclusively Entertainment provided more then stellar services to my party. Joe (my DJ) was great, he got so many compliments from the guests about how personable he was and how much they enjoyed his DJ services. The services I used were: Monogram, DJ, spotlights, and the screen projector. Their responses to my questions along the way were very prompt and I would work with them 10 times over. The set-up crew was very professional and friendly, which I loved. They helped make this day perfect!

Ajay K Gupta, CISSP, MBA

To: Exclusively Entertainment - My wife and I wanted to write to let you know that you were simply the Best DJ experience we've ever had. You were better than all other DJs we've heard in every way - others don't have the same mix of music, are too loud or not loud enough. Somehow, in your set up, there was the "right" amount of music on the dance floor, but walking away from the floor, we could talk with people without screaming. Honestly, before experiencing you DJ Biks, I couldn't recognize a difference between DJs - other than price. Now, I know the difference. Other DJs, though they do work hard - are really just hobbyists - DJ Biks is a professional. Thanks again for making my wife's 40th a wonderful event. Can't wait to hear you spin again!

Nickie Hosseini

Iman and his crew were definitely in my top two best vendors. He did an amazing job as the MC as well. Every single person I talked to had a great time, and commented on how much fun they had on the dance floor. I had a Persian wedding and my non-Persian friends even danced to the Persian songs they picked! He came highly recommended by lots of my family/friends who know him personally and I'm so glad we went with his services. He was very attentive to what we wanted and things were smooth pre-wedding as well, even though I had a last minute add on (which is nice because not all vendors are so organized). I highly recommend him and his crew. Having him as the MC was just perfect.

Azadeh Rezvani

The team at EE is amazing! From start to finish, they made us feel totally at ease! We used them for dj, live sax and percussion, uplighting, photo booth and videography and it was all fantastic! They are professional, super friendly, handle everything and make you feel like you have nothing to worry about. Our highlight video and full length videos are incredible! They even surprised us and did a same-day video edit that they showed during our reception, which was the best! We would highly recommend using EE for everything that you possibly can! You can't go wrong!

Layla Shahidi

DJ Payam and the entire Exclusively Entertainment team made our wedding an EPIC dance party! We used them at both our engagement party and wedding and they were very professional, accommodating, and responsive. Iman, Payam, and their team did an amazing job balancing both Persian and American music keeping all of our family and friends literally bouncing on the dance floor all night long! We received numerous compliments from our guests praising DJ Payam at both events. I highly recommend Exclusively Entertainment and personally would love to have them back for another epic dance party :)

Debra Leopold

Wow!! That is all I can say! I have never worked with a more responsive company. My emails were answered within seconds. My inquiries were welcomed. From the very first contact to the actual experience at our party--PHENOMENAL! DJ Joe and his technical assistant Sam went above and beyond in every regard. I really credit DJ Joe for the success of our retirement party. Sam added additional lighting to the room to make it feel warm...every request was handled beautifully. I had provided a playlist, but Joe used his intuition and added the most perfect music to keep everyone on the dance floor. I am still receiving emails from friends saying that it was a fantastic party and almost all mentioned that the DJ was "out of this world" good. And, that is saying something when the average guest age was 65! Ha Ha! Please use me as a reference--it would be an honor. Gratefully yours, Deb

Olivia Altamirano

Iman and the rock string quartet made my wedding honestly perfect ,they kept the party going All might even in the bad weather!

"Exclusively Entertainment" is the definition of perfection!!! Thank you Mr. Iman Hushmand!!!

Raha Mokhtari

Exclusively Entertainment has always provided my family and I fantastic DJs for several years now. From birthday parties to wedding celebrations, the EE team has never let us down. From the moment the crew comes to set up for the party, they are respectful, efficient, and so easy to work with. All you need to do is tell them where you want the DJ to be set up and they take care of the rest. DJ Payam is exceptional. Our guest continue to rave about what an amazing DJ he is. He knows what songs to play to keep the party going and to have everyone on the dance floor the whole time. We also requested lighting for our venue. The lighting was exquisite. The up-lighting can be any color you wish, which makes coordinating with the theme so easy. For those of you, like myself, that ask numerous questions, do not worry. The EE team is so responsive and so willing to answer all your emails within seconds!!! Having EE as part of our celebration truly made the party amazing!

Ellie A

We couldn't have asked for a better team for our daughter's bat mitzvah entertainment. For any bar/batmitzvah party, if you want an organized, efficient, professional and fun team, you want to contact "Exclusively Entertainment" team. Tina, Payam, Joe and Ramzy were the perfect team to plan with us every step of the way months in advance. They met with our daughter for details and even set up with the venue in advance of the party. The kids were engaged by the party motivators until the last minute, not to mention lighting and sound were right on point! THANK YOU...

Jamak McNair

Amazingly organized and the best entertainment. Thank you for what you do.

lynne kingsley

Lance, Tina, Jana, and the whole exclusively entertainment team were fantastic during the planning and the actual event of our daughter’s bat mitzvah. They were helpful, and great with the kids and adults on the night getting everyone up to dance and contributing to one of the best nights ever for us. We could not recommend them highly enough. Thanks so much for making it a night to remember.

Soheila Rostami

I had our anniversary party last week and Iman and his crew helped our with the lighting and the music. Saman was our DJ. Everyone was very professional. They called and emailed me multiple times prior to the event to make sure they understand what I like. I was so impressed with their professionalism. Also, they equipment were perfect. there was no issue with echo or scratchy noise at all.

Bahareh Aslani

Professional. Amazing DJ skills. I wish I had another wedding just to have them DJ!

Nazaneen Pahlevani

I haved hired EE to handle music, lighting, and photo booth services at my wedding next year. Since my wedding is a year away this review is based on their communication skills and past events. I have attended several events hosted by EE in the past and they have all been spectacular (hence why I want them at my wedding)! However, what is most important to me as a bride is that my vendors are efficient and reliable. I have had so many vendors take forever to respond to me or get snarky when I ask what they might think is a "dumb" question. Not EE! They are so fast to respond to all of my emails and all of my questions (I asked plenty)! This makes me feel so comfortable to have them as such a critical part of my big day!! Thank you guys for every so far!

Juliet Kim

We used EE for our corporate event this past weekend, and our experience was amazing from the start. They had an extremely competitive price, and you can pick the level of services depending on what the event is for. Based on our location and the other activities we had planned, we opted for just the basic service. They communicated regularly throughout the process and introduced us to the DJ that was assigned to us weeks before the event. We got to share details with our DJ (Joe Dunia who was amazing!) on the event so that he could pre-select some music ahead of time. Since our corporate event was a 30th anniversary party, we wanted to make sure there were throw backs from the 80s, 90s and 00s sprinkled. He mixed it soooooo well, and people were dancing all night long. So happy we went with EE and we will be using them for all corporate events that require a DJ going forward!! Thank you EE and Joe for such an amazing time!

Lauren Kaymanesh

DJ Saam was the man that took care of our wedding through Exclusively Entertainment. Iman stayed in contact with us throughout the wedding planning and took care of any request we made, from setting up early, to providing extra microphones for a performance, to getting extra crew last minute so that timing would work. But I have to say, the real star of the show was DJ Saam. He played a perfect mix of persian and american music and everything blended together flawlessly. I had to make some last minute adjustments to our timeline and he flowed through it like it was nothing! Thank you guys so much for making the wedding atmosphere perfect! I would recommend the company, and most importantly, DJ Saam, to anyone with a wedding or large event coming up! You guys are great!

Mitra T.

Top quality honest company! They have the best DJs and host the best events!

Sanaz Toolabi

Great service, fun events, and amazing djs!

Tara Winton

We booked DJ Oz for our society's annual reception in DC, and he did not disappoint. He and everyone from Exclusively Entertainment were very professional, accommodating, responded promptly, and were a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. The setup/breakdown team were like silent assassins who just came in, executed their mission, and left, unnoticed. No questions. No stress. Oz played an array of music for our very diverse international group. He read the crowd beautifully and kept the dance floor full for the majority of the reception. I received several compliments on the music and atmosphere from the party goers afterwards. We would absolutely recommend EE for any party needs and would suggest you book DJ Oz, if available.

Ronnie Kingsley

If you are looking for a DJ with MC for a wedding, mitzvah, sweet 16, quince or any special event, your search is over. I have worked with dozens of DJ's over the past few years, none come close to how awesome Exclusively Entertainment are. If you think my experience was unique, think again. They have 5* after 5* review. My event was at Milton Ridge in Clarksburg. They arrived on time, the venue enjoyed working with them and they kept our party going right up until the end. If they have your date available, sign the contract now!

Michael Rafeedie

I can't say enough amazing things about Exclusively Entertainment. My wife and I were looking for a DJ and MC who could tailor the music to appeal to a large diverse crowd. DJ Saam and Iman did not disappoint - they truly are the ideal DJ / MC combination. They definitely know how to rock a venue! We also used Exclusively Entertainment for lighting, cinematography, and strings for the wedding ceremony. They did a fantastic job with the lighting - setting the tone and constantly adjusting for the tone and "stage" of the reception. Their cinematography process was smooth and efficient, creating a fantastic and memorable film of our special day. All-in-all, they helped make our wedding day the best experience we've ever had. Several of our wedding guests immediately asked us for Exclusively Entertainment's contact information so they could hire them for their wedding, which is the ultimate testament to their performance. My wife and I can't thank Iman and his team enough!

Taylor Thomas

I used Exclusively Entertainment for a Grand Reopening Party for work. They were very professional, willing to work with us through the process, on time, and very easy to work with. Would definitely recommend them and will use them in the future!

This review is long overdue! I have coordinated a Holiday party for my company every year during December for the past 12 years. We have 150 people at the Pooks Hill Marriott and it is more like a wedding than a Holiday Party. We throw a good party... however this year it was over the top! The EE team was prompt, well dressed and very respectful. The DJ booth with the lighting looked amazing. I was not expecting that at all, so it was a nice surprise. Let me start by saying that I booked EE one week in advance on a Friday night in December. Iman responded to my email in literally 30 seconds. We talked and got all the details hammered out in about an hour. After talking to him and exchanging emails I was beyond excited about my decision to use them. I also decided to do our corporate logo on the dance floor and a photo booth as well. Both great decisions! This year we decided to change DJ companies and it made ALL the difference in the world!! I found EE on YELP based on their reviews and a recommendation from one of his clients. This was our best party by far in 12 years due to EE. I had numerous employees and guests rave about the party, the energy of the night and how much fun everyone had, and it was all due to the entertainment. I never knew how important it was to have a phenomenal DJ, and Pedram and his team were just that! I do know now that the DJ the most important part of the party. There is a group in my company that are know as the "dancers', they reminded me that last year I was physically pulling them onto the dance floor to get them to dance!! NOT the case this year! The dance floor was full the ENTIRE time. When the night ended I asked to play a slow song and Pedram politely suggested me not to end on a slow song but to end upbeat and he was 100% right! This left our guest wishing the party never ended and everyone in the room was on the floor dancing and signing! It was little things like that they did throughout the night that made things so much fun. Photo Booth!! I cannot say enough about the photo booth! I was worried at first that people were not going to use it. The team suggested where to place it and to place the hotel Christmas tree in the background and once again they were right. The photo booth was a HUGE hit! It was hilarious and we now have memories that we will keep forever. Iman emailed me the pics after the event. We decided that next year we will show those photos at our party. I will have EE take care of that as well. We also had EE do our company logo on the dance floor. It looked incredible and was a nice touch! The owner of my company LOVED it! During our event, the most handsome gentleman came walking in and I knew it had to be Iman! He came to our party to meet me and make sure that everything was going smoothly. How often does the owner of the company come to your event?! I was floored! We will be using them again this year for DJ, company logo and the photo booth for sure. This year we are going to use them to do our uplighting. Thank you, Iman, Pedram and the rest of the team!! As the party planner, the event is a direct reflection of me so I thank you for making ME look good!

Kamran Youssefieh

EE hosted our house party and they did a fantastic job! They arrived early enough to setup without being rushed, they had a professional presentation and attitude, and they had an awesome setup! The DJ [Ryan aka DJ Zander] managed to keep the people dancing and entertained! We highly recommend EE and will definitely use their services again! Thank you to the EE team.

Soheil Zadegan

On time, Professional, Flexible, everything you need when having a private party

Kirk Pressley

They are the BEST! Our event was made special by the fantastic customer service and great lighting. Hands down will only use them for lighting my organizations events. Amazing staff, turn around times and speed of service during the event. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Katherine Kolberg

Exclusively Entertainment did an amazing job setting up for our Gala event at the Willard. The technicians were so helpful and arrived promptly. The room was set up with their brand new wireless uplights and spotlights which made it look magnificent! The DJ had such a great playlist that made everyone want to get up and dance. 10/10 recommend for future events. They are so easy to contact/get a hold of with excellent customer service!!

cassandra lambert

Everything about our DJ was seriously amazing! After our wedding was done all everyone could talk about was how great the music was. Saam was able to incorporate Persian music with American and everyone stayed on the dance floor all night. He got the party involved and kept the energy up! I was soooo happy with how it all turned out! I’ve been to 5 weddings this year with almost the same group of people each time, and everyone said our DJ was by far the best and I 100% agree. So just wanted to let you know Saam was amazing. Thank you so much for the great work and listening to my requests and involving everything I asked for!

Shahrzad Rezvani

Exclusively Entertainment is the best! They are so professional and their work is amazing! We used them for our videography, dj services, uplighting and photo booth. The EE staff is so friendly and responsive and they make you feel like you don't have to worry about a thing! Leading up to the wedding, we had a video chat with the team and they talked us through everything and answered our questions. They send you a DJ portal so you can pick and choose songs you want played (and don't want played). We emailed them several times in the months leading up to the wedding and they were always easy to reach and very helpful. On our wedding day, we had nothing to worry about. They video team showed up early, worked with our photographers and the rest of the team and the DJs did their thing setting up. We had DJ Payam on the wedding day and he was SOOO great!!! We didnt need much help getting people to dance but he was so engaging, played great songs and was just overall such a sweet person. The photo booth was a hit, lighting was beautiful...but the most amazing thing that EE did was they surprised us with a highlight video that they played during our reception. The video was made from footage taken during our wedding day getting ready up through our first dance of the reception. It was unreal how they pulled it all together! We loved every second of it! I would highly recommend EE for anyone's wedding! They are simply the best!

Exclusively entertainment made our party a memorable one! The DJ and the team were professional and on time. We received so many compliments on our song choices and overall warmness of our party, all because the great EE team. Thank you again Iman Joon!

Exclusively Entertainment (EE) was a hit at our wedding. We requested DJ, MC, and Percussionist services for our tented wedding of 200 people and while EE came recommended by our wedding planner, and we had even seen sample videos, never in our wildest dreams did we think we would have THAT much fun. Iman, the man in charge at EE, is a joy to work with. He is thorough, thoughtful, and provided a lot insight during the planning process. He even provided a website for us to collaborate on where we could identify must-have, would-like-to-have, and do-not-play songs. Day of, him and his crew created a dynamic and lively party that engaged our guests. They catered to our request of splitting the songs three-ways: part American, part Persian, and part Arab, to satisfy all of our guests! The DJ transitioned music genres artfully and seamlessly; the percussionist added a live-music feel where you felt compelled to dance and move to the rhythm; and the MC (Iman) engaged guests between songs, kept to the schedule, and even had me (the bride) dance around the room leading a conga not once, but twice! I am so grateful for them and how they made our evening magical. Today, 4 months after our wedding, I am continuously reminded by family and friends about how amazing the music and MC was at our wedding. All of our younger cousins who are in line to get married next want him and his team to provide entertainment at their future weddings. Needlesstosay, I highly recommend EE for your wedding! They will amaze you!

This was our first experience with Exclusively Entertainment Group, I believe they are one of the best event planners in the DC area. Our School needed a sound system organizer for our Norooz celebration event for our students performance in the auditorium. They were on time and managed to set up the sound system properly in such a short period of time. They were very organized and cooperative. I highly recommend hiring them for any event, We had a great experience!

Donna Ghazi

I would HIGHLY recommend Exclusively Entertainment as a DJ company!! When looking for a DJ company, I was looking for someone who could play Persian, Carribean, and American music. I live in Florida and our wedding was in Savannah, GA, making my search for a DJ a little challenging. But from the start, Iman and his team were one of the easiest vendors to work with. Not only did they communicate promptly to any of my concerns but Iman also provided me advice with other non DJ related questions I had throughout the year. His expertise and advice were so helpful in helping me make decisions from a long distance. If you are a bride, you know how stressful the year of planning is and Iman and his team were the least stressful part of the entire process. We had DJ Payam for our wedding and I am still receiving calls from guests about how amazing the music and DJ were and that they have never danced so much at a wedding before. Prior to the wedding, we had a Skype call where we went through some music preferences. He listened to exactly what music we wanted and played what we listed in their music portal including our songs dedicated to our fathers (that made both their nights). They also notified me of when the DJ arrived on his flight and checked into the hotel which was a very nice stress reliever for me as the bride! I can't say enough good things about this company and would highly highly recommend them for any wedding needs. Thank you Exclusively Entertainment for making our special night memorable!

Incredible company, people, events, nothing but amazing things to say about Exclusively Entertainment! Thank you for keeping Persian events and traditions alive in the DMV!

If you need ANY DJ services, this is the place to go. I got their name from a friend that previously worked with them and Exclusively Entertainment was nothing short of incredible. I used them for a charity event and everything was absolutely fantastic - from scheduling, logistics, quick turnaround on email exchanges and the DJ service itself. The service provided was phenomenal & professional and I will 100% use them again AND recommend them to anybody needing DJ services. THANK YOU GUYS!

Iman and his group are top notch. Reading through reviews, we weren't sure how much experience they'd had with bat mitzvah celebrations, but we needn't have worried. They were well-organized and even kept us on track at times. They kept communication with our other vendors and worked well with them. I was impressed that other vendors had praise for them as well. One told me they felt EE was on top of things, another appreciated their willingness to work with them on the fly for an AV issue during the event. Very professional. Their standard DJ stand and set-up was perfect and would blend well with any ballroom event. Plenty of up-lighting included in the standard package, which they could adjust to any color to transform the space. DJ Saam's crew and Party Motivator Lance and his assistant - we really couldn't ask for more. Absolutely met and exceeded expectations for a fantastic night. I can't tell you how many of our guests came up to me to specifically mention how great they were. Adults and kids alike felt comfortable and motivated to get out onto the dance floor. Very few kids were on their cell phones, if that tells you anything. MC/Party Motivator Lance has a natural talent for judging the flow of the party and orchestrated the perfect mix of dancing, games, etc. And when we had a bit of last minute change in plans? Lance and crew were right on top of it and moved the party out onto the terrace during cocktail hour. Absolute pleasure working with this company.

Exclusively Entertainment had provided a great DJ experience for our wedding two years ago. So, when I needed music for my husband's surprise birthday party, of course I contacted them again. From beginning to end, EE is professional and responsive. Tina was my Client Services coordinator and did a great job communicating and explaining all the "business end" of things. Response times were timely and I was completely confident that things would go well--very important to me in reducing the pressure any event planning can create. Tina was quick to advise me of a change from the original DJ we expected, but reiterated clearly that the situation was resolved and I had nothing to worry about....whew! The setup team men (Ivan, Trey, and a couple of others) were great. All professional and thoughtful in DJ Booth placement and uplighting selection. (I had no idea was uplighting was, but Ivan did a great job at explaining it to me and reassuring me of the evening's plan for setup and breakdown.) DJ Pierre was awesome! I can't say enough about how wonderful he was--he demonstrated clear indication that he loves his job. He played the music we wanted, responded to our guests music requests, and created a fun and engaging evening. I didn't expect to have much dancing happen, but the music that DJ Pierre selected encouraged lots of dance floor action. DJ Pierre made the evening personal and special. I highly recommend EE for any event.

We paid for Sogand’s concert which was supposed to start at 9. I left the venue at 11:45 and sogand never showed up. It was a scam. I’ll dispute the charge and never buy any ticket if this promoter is in charge

We loved working with Exclusively Entertainment! From our first conversation, I felt like we were in good hands and that they immediately understood what we wanted out of our wedding music. On the night of our wedding, the dance floor was packed from the first song to the last. We actually had so many guests comment on how good our DJ (Ramin) was! Would work with them again in a heartbeat!

Working with Exclusively Entertainment for our wedding was seamless, professional and exceptional. From the very beginning of planning all of our questions and concerns were addressed and communications were prompt and professional. I had no hesitation or doubt about the service that their entertainment team was going to provide on our big day as I had seen their work in previous weddings and events. However what I was pleasantly surprised with was the degree of personalization and personal touches that Iman and his team provided for our day and all the extras that were provided to make our day simply perfect and what we envisioned. Thank you Iman, DJ Payam and our super talented Violinist Jon! We couldn’t have asked for a better team to be a part of our wedding!

Went to the Sogand concert this weekend and it was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Exclusively Entertainment really made the community proud with the first Persian concert at Echostage. Every single one of the DJs KILLED IT!!! It was absolutely incredible and SOGAND was indescribable... She gave an awesome performance and together with EE DJ's it was PHENOMENAL!!!! I hope they do another concert at Echostage again!

DJ Saam kept the entire event on schedule and focused. He was very communicative with us the entire night. He kept our guests entertained and really knew how to keep people on their feet dancing, even the wait staff was dancing while working! We can’t fully express just how much of an integral part Saam played in our special day to make it the best day of our lives!

We had a great experience with Exclusively Entertainment! They provided our AV for the ceremony, DJ for the cocktail hour and during the reception when the brand was on a break, and the lighting. Since many of our guests were Persian, we wanted to make sure we had authentic Persian music playing. Payam and the EE team were great to work with from Day 1 - very flexible, and helped bring our vision to life. We had a lot of "requests" - for example, we had surprise belly dancers, a surprise "happy birthday" for the groom, etc - and they helped execute everything flawlessly. Payam also checked with us once the ballroom (florals, decor, etc) were set up to make sure the lighting was the right color. The lighting ended up being spectacular and I'm so glad we decided to do uplighting - it really helped the subtle purple in the floral centerpieces pop, and created a wonderful ambience in the room. Since they typically don't do events in central Virginia, we worked with the EE team to make sure they were at a hotel nearby. They had never been to this venue before, but it didn't even matter - they were professional, very service-oriented, and did a great job. I cannot recommend them enough!
