We are so glad we chose Washington Talent for our wedding! Purnell and Isaac were attentive and took the time to understand our music preferences and the vibe we wanted for our big day. Isaac brought great energy and kept the dance floor packed all night! We received so many compliments from our guests about how much fun they had dancing and how great the music was. If you’re looking for a talented DJ who knows how to read the crowd and create an unforgettable experience, Isaac and Washington Talent is the perfect choice!

I wanted to write a note to say thanks. Three years ago when we got Elijah’s bar mitzvah date our life was his hospital bed, oxygen, chest tubes, and beeping machines. When we talked about what he wanted his bar mitzvah to be like the only thing he really had an opinion on was wanting you as his m.c. Etan and I knew we couldn’t afford his hospital bills and an expensive bar mitzvah, but you so kindly came up with a plan and worked with us so that Elijah could have you as his M.C. and Etan and I were able to stay within the budget. You really went above and beyond for us. Elijah and our whole family had the best time. You did an amazing job keeping the boys entertained and engaged while also getting the adults on the dance floor. Aviva has already asked that we hire you for hers. If you ever need anyone to provide a reference or if we can be of any help, please let us know. We had the most amazing weekend and a large part of that was because of you. All my gratitude,

first of all, I just wanted to tell you how many texts and calls I’ve already gotten this morning that they are all saying omg Purnell is amazing and brandon is terrific! Madison had the best best time with the both of you. You did such a great job and thank you so much for diverting the attention from Stu at the end. He is home. They did wind up taking him to the hospital to get IV fluids and he is home resting now. Never a dull moment, but thank God we were able to keep it kind of low-key so Madison did not really know what was going on!!! I can’t thank you and your dancers and everyone enough for making it such a memorable night for all of us!!! You ROCK!!!!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!! You made the party what is was!!!!!

Dance the Night Away — Purnell was hands-down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the moment he arrived, his energy was contagious—fun-loving, engaging, and constantly hyping us up. He read the crowd perfectly, played the right songs at exactly the right moments, and kept the dance floor packed all night. His advice to us as the bride and groom—to stay on the dance floor with our guests—was pure gold, and we had so many people tell us it was the most fun wedding they’d ever been to. We would recommend Purnell to absolutely everyone!
