Exclusively Entertainment

Iman and his team are the best you can find. We had the great pleasure of working with them for our wedding. Iman was extremely professional from the very beginning. I am sure he is really busy, but it was amazing how responsive he was and how quickly he always managed to get back to us with answers on the same day. Throughout the whole process, he and Dominic (more about the great job Dominic did later) were really patient with all our requests and went the extra mile to make sure everything was exactly as we had asked. Still I think the best testament for their professionalism is that, when some other vendors failed to show up on-​time on the wedding day, Iman helped setting everything up for them. This meant so much to us and really prevented a lot of problems for us.
And Dominic was the director of our wedding videos. He has a unique artistic style in his camera moves and editing which sets his work apart from all the other wedding cinematographers. You can definitely see that by taking a look at the samples on their website. He made sure there were enough cameras covering the day and created amazingly dynamic and live takes. Then he and Iman spent lots of time with us and went through every detail, from the shots we didn’t like, to choise of the music, etc. They truly made us feel involved in the whole process and the result was stunning and outstanding.
We highly recommend them for their high standards of quality, responsiveness, and great customer care.

I wanted to take a moment and just thank Iman and his DJ/​staff for doing such an amazing job at my best friends wedding. They were extremely professional, friendly, and energetic. They played a mix of everything and had everyone dancing the entire night. The groom is Bosnian and EE did an excellent job at researching and finding music to play that was from his country. They also did a great job of making sure they played guest requests. The bride and groom were completely satisfied with the services provided by EE and I myself, as the Maid of honor, was satisfied with EE’s services. I would definitely use them for my future wedding and would highly recommend them to anyone in search of entertainment services for their wedding!

Exclusively Entertainment did an outstanding job at our wedding. They were on top of everything and helped create what we’re proud to say a A-​plus event. The lights and atmosphere were magical, like the day.

Where do I begin? My wife and I had a story book wedding. I give her a lot of credit because she didn’t overlook any small detail about our wedding and it was amazing from start to end. I was put in charge of a few larger tasks and one of those was to book our entertainment. I never hesitated once when I decided to book Exclusively Entertainment. A lot of my friends and colleagues have had exclusively entertainment provide them with all sorts of services for their weddings, business events and whatever occasion necessary. Iman was the perfect MC and DJ Oz was the perfect DJ. Together, they had the crowd rocking all night. Oz played an eclectic style of international, top 40, and EDM hits that my wife and I both love. Since we had a very diverse audience (Persian, White, Black, Mexican) we really wanted to make sure that the music was catered to everyone. Outside of the food, everyone the next day raved about Iman and Oz. They truly helped make the night magical.
On top of the music, they also provided me with superior lighting and design. I work in the night life industry so I wanted the party atmosphere of my wedding to have that sort of vibe and it did. The lights flashing, the laser lighting… everything was just phenomenal. one of my guests even came up to me and told me how she felt like she was at a club at time with the flashing lights. It was the ideal response I was aiming for. Iman and the rest of the exclusively entertainment staff that was on sight were not only extremely flexible, but also very kind and warm to my guests. They exemplify professionalism in every aspect of the word and I can not begin to stress how amazing they were. I highly recommend Exclusively Entertainment to provide entertainment for any event someone may throw and I definitely will hire them for my next event. Thank you Iman and the rest of your staff. You guys made the night special. Lauren and I never forget it.

As an Iranian-​American bride marrying my African husband, with family and friends from all walks of life, choosing an entertainment company that really could engage all of our guests on our wedding day was really important to me. Exclusively Entertainment came from DC to NYC to be a part of our night in such an unforgettable way!
Choosing EE for our wedding was hands down one of the, if not THE, best decision we made for our wedding! Our guests literally had the time of their lives. They catered beautifully to a multi-​cultural, multi-​ethnic crowd and we received so many wonderful remarks from our guests on EE’s ability to fuse different music genres, their seamless fusion of live music with recorded music, Iman’s infectious energy and ability to really excite the crowd (I mean literally almost every single guest was saturating the dance floor on the very first dance set!), and the wealth of information and knowledge they so generously provide on anything and everything from music recommendations, to timeline suggestions, to almost anything you can imagine.
Let me just highlight a few qualities that really distinguish EE, and really sets them apart not only from their competitors in entertainment, but in general from so many companies that I have done business with:
1) Exceptional professionalism and customer service
This is what stood out to me the most. Iman (our MC) and also our contact person was truly an exceptional professional. I must have exchanged HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS (not kidding) of emails with him throughout the entire process. In every single step of the way, Iman was so kind, professional and extremely responsive (I mean 90% of the time I had a response in less than an hour!). I must have gotten a quote on 20 different permutations of entertainment packages and he was always patient, kind, and informative. Then after we finally settled on a package, I had even more questions and he always had answers, from music recommendations, to what I needed to add, cut, or consider, to an attachment of exactly the file I was looking for within minutes of my email!
As the leader of two different student organizations on various campuses, I frequently interacted with numerous local businesses and I can say without a doubt, throughout all my personal and professional interactions with businesses, my interaction with EE has been by far the most professional and diligent interaction I have ever had with a business-​EVER.
I am truly proud that a business like them exists and works tirelessly the way they do to make couples’ wedding day unforgettable… and somehow I fortuitously had them as a part of ours.
2) Iman, Iman, Iman
Are you debating whether or not to have an MC at your wedding? Please do yourself a favor and end this debate right now. It is such a game-​changer. In every moment of our wedding day, from introducing our bridal party to the cake cutting, he took our party to another level! His energy was amazing. So many people asked me later, WHO WAS HE?!
Also, he went on and on about my mother and how lovely she was, so I think he is single-​handedly responsible for producing a woman out of my 65 year-​old mother so full of energy and dance moves, I almost did not recognize her!
2)Whatever your crowd, your vision, or your musical taste, they will make it happen!
We are Iranian/​African but whatever your race, background, religion, culture, they will cater to you and your guests,. They will do whatever it takes, even if that involves doing some serious research, they will do it to make your party amazing and just as you had envisioned!
3) Reasonable Prices
Their prices were very fair and because we had used them for multiple services, they really worked with us on the service and travel fees. And to be frank, even with the travel fees, they turned out to be significantly less expensive than most local entertainment companies in NYC.
4) Website for clients for timeline, guest requests, etc
They have an easy to use website where you can plan your night and includes everything from your timeline, to guest music requests, to your music requests. We put a link to their guest request system on our online RSVP system and our guests were easily able to make requests when they RSVP’ed
5) Their cinematographer is exceptional
Dominic their lead cinematographer was a creative genius and incredibly diligent, dedicated, and professional. He was up and out at 7am until midnight. He had a 17 hour work day! I really do not even know when he ate, or if he did for that matter! He worked tirelessly on our videos including a short film that was a breathtaking piece of art that told a complete story in 8 minutes. It was so beautifully done. He was such a joy to work with. He was up starting 7am and shooting till midnight. I can say without a doubt that I have never encountered an individual with so much dedication to their craft.
They made our wedding night more than anything we ever imagined!

Exclusively Entertainment, EE, is the only way to go if you are planning any event from today on! This is a 5 star service company that I trusted and cannot express the gratitude and contentment with which I recommend them to all Unilocalers!
First, they are professional. Always on time, they meet the deadlines, they respond to your 100 emails promptly, attire and mannerisms are 5star at all times, and they recognize that this professionalism is unparalleled in their industry– even in the details, they treat your needs and event as their top priority.

Second, they are honest. Beginning an event, I was filled with a million ideas and most of them did not fit into a range of possibility, and I felt frantic. EE took the time to understand what it was I wanted for my event, and they provided an outcome beyond my expectations. Above the fact that everything came together SO beautifully, the best part of the planning is that they are honest with you about what can, and can’t be done. So there are no surprises.
Third, they share your love of your event. If you miss a detail, they will catch it and this meant the world to us, to not have to worry about anything. The company truly enjoys event planning and giving back to the community, they have even fundraised and provided an otherwise impossible wedding event for couples and the karma and charm of EE will take them far.
Fourth, the product will be a luxurious, upbeat, and classy event; guaranteed!
NO chords, perfect lighting, music that is up-​to-​date and set to what YOU prefer. The pictures speak for themselves. You get what you invest in, and their service is worth every suggestion and hour of your time. As with any event, you cannot go back and redo the night. You plan and plan and within a few hours it is over and a memory.
EE is the company you can TRUST to give you the perfect memory that is beautiful and tailored, which is vital!

As an event planner, I have had the pleasure of using Exclusively Entertainment for various events over the last 5 years. They are very detail oriented and can cover a lot more than just providing a DJ for an event. In addition to using them for DJ, and sound, I have used them for providing lighting, video, musicians, MCs, and planning assistance. It’s very convenient to have a one stop shop for all event needs.

My sister is an event/​wedding planner and has used EE many times. I only have experience on one event but they are hands down, one of the best entertainment companies out there. From the very first email they sent up through the day of the event, they never left us hanging. Always available and always responsive. The energy and enthusiasm they brought the day of the event, was phenomenal — everyone was on the dance floor all night! They accommodated all of our requests and exceeded our expectations and always had a smile on their faces. We didn’t want the night to end. I will always have them at the top of the list for recommendations for any event in the DC metro area! Very well done!

Have enjoyed a lot of their public events mainly because it’s something different from the ordinary events going on every weekend downtown. I went to their masquerade ball at beautiful Sax lounge in DC and it was one of the best parties I had been to in a long time! Always great DJs and a young professional crowd.

I have been to several public events and weddings by EE in the past decade. They have all been full of energy and memorable. Their public events are always at top-​notch venues, with a very eclectic and international crowd, that is different from what the usual DC nightlife presents. Their crowd is always a young professional and good looking crowd, so it’s always a great opportunity to meet people. Their events are also unique because they often have a theme and incorporate various types of entertainment such as live musicians, dancers and more.
They have also provided the entertainment and lighting at a couple of my friends and families weddings and have always rocked the night. My parents actually used them for my graduation several years ago. Great company, great service, and great people!
Thanks!

So now that the wedding «week» is over and our out-​of-​country guests are headed home, I’m finding some time to give some overdue thanks.
We used Exclusively Entertainment for DJ services (DJ Pride– highly recommend), MC services (Iman), and we also hired a percussionist from EE (also excellent! definitely added a special, unique touch!)
Iman and his team were AWESOME! Everyone I have spoken to since the wedding has had two things to say… «the food was excellent and who was the MC??? He was amazing!!!»
He did a wonderful job at explaining and introducing things like traditions and customs, as well as at getting everyone involved. Iman was also always able to find the perfect response to every unexpected request or event from the crowd. On this note, the DJ also always had a song bite ready to play as a reaction to a spontaneous event, as did the percussionist (badum bum ching). I am not exaggerating when I say that everyone has been praising the entertainment as one of the best parts of the wedding!
My husband and I intended only on DJ services. I wanted an MC and he was hesitant. He wanted a percussionist and I was hesitant. Needless to say, we don’t regret a thing! Thanks for helping to make our evening so fun, and also for constantly seeking us out to make sure things ran smoothly.
I will definitely recommend EE to anyone looking for DJ/​MC services.

If you are getting married or needing entertainment, lighting, a DJ, or really anything party-​related you need to contact this company because they are truly the best.
As a busy bride, you know you are working with an amazing vendor when you already had your 5 star review in mind — even before your wedding day. As soon as we chose Iman for our destination wedding a huge weight seemed to be lifted from our shoulders
After our wedding, I am still hearing wonderful things about Iman and his staff. He provided top-​notch service and was the best vendor to work with. He is knowledgeable, polite, responsive, and a true pleasure to work with.
He is truly a class act and I would definitely say the best investment when it came to our wedding day. Thank you for being a part of the happiest day of our lives. My husband and are so grateful for your services and will be recommending him to everyone planning a wedding.
He gets the crowd going, and his positive energy is contagious!
If you want a top notch event, be sure to book with Exclusively Entertainment — you and guests will be in store for an event of a lifetime. So worth it! Thanks Iman!

For my wedding that happened on Sunday April 13^th, I thought I had everything planned and ready to go. To my dismay, the day before, I realized there were certain items that were missing from my DJ that I hired (which was another DJ besides Exclusively Entertainment). Some of the uplighting for the décor, as well as other lights were not included in my DJ’s contract. I quickly turned to my network of wedding entertainment professionals and found Iman and his company.
Within minutes, I had a person ready to deliver all the lights required, as well as set them all up. Iman was not concerned about money, he was more concerned that my wedding go smoothly on one of the most important days in my life. There are very few vendors, let alone even friends that will go to this great deal of effort to help someone in need.
The wedding day arrived, and I didn’t even notice that Iman had already worked with the wedding venue to setup and breakdown while the day went by.
I am recommending Iman as THE BEST WEDDING AND ENTERTAINMENT company in the DMV area, bar none! Let alone, his roster of DJ’s are some of the most professional, and talented group I have seen in the region.
Do not think twice, have Iman and Exclusively Entertainment provide all your wedding needs, and you will not have to even THINK about something going wrong. He is a true professional, that cares about his clients, not the monetary return.
Good luck in your search, and book Exclusively Entertainment, you will not regret it!

Exclusively Entertainment managed to make our already beautiful venue of Anderson House in Dupont Circle sparkle and glow for our wedding reception. At first, we were not sure whether we needed professional uplighting because Anderson House was such a special venue in and of itself. However, with the addition of the wireless uplighting provided by EE, the venue looked absolutely amazing during our reception and added to the intimate atmosphere that we strived to create. The uplighting units were so inconspicuous, they literally blended in with the venue, you could hardly tell they were there… and no ugly wires to be seen anywhere. The light itself was soft, and not at all harsh, and definitely complimented the different areas of the venue, especially the main ballroom at Anderson House. There were two staff members from EE present throughout the entirety of our event who were extremely professional and courteous and they were able to work seamlessly with our other vendors for the evening, including caterer, DJ, and florist. All in all, EE provided top notch service and really provided that finishing touch that definitely did not go unnoticed. Great company, great service, would definitely use them again and would definitely recommend. You will not be disappointed.

Exclusively Entertainment (EE) provided the lighting, music, and MC services for the Iranian American Bar Association’s Spring (Norouz) Gala. The whole team was friendly and easy to work with. Iman was a fabulous MC, and even though the crowd was a bit stiff, he still managed to get them all to laugh! The music was really good too, and the crowd was dancing until the very end. The DJ (Pedram), was easy to communicate with (quick to answer emails) and picked great songs from the genre of music we had requested. The lighting was beautiful and definitely made the ballroom look nicer. The rates were very reasonable, and they generously gave us some complimentary services. In my opinion, entertainment is the most important aspect of any event, and EE delivers superb quality and professionalism. I look forward to working with them again!

Exclusively Entertainment ROCKED our wedding! It’s just a week later but people are telling us left and right that they didn’t stop dancing and how much fun it was — and if you’re wedding is fun, it’s mainly because of the entertainment. Iman was our MC and entertained the crowd and Pedram, our DJ played most songs on our playlist while adding in some fun ones of his own. We danced so much and I was really sad when our wedding ended because I wanted one more hour. The guests didn’t leave the tent when it ended — another sign of a fun wedding! We really didn’t want it to end! We met with Iman a few weeks before the wedding and went over all the details, finalized the timeline and picked our lighting. EE provided our ceremony, cocktail hour music, reception entertainment and lighting including beautiful red uplighting around the tent. It looked just beautiful. Iman was very professional to work with and his staff arrived all on time to set everything up and cleaned up promptly afterward. We had a mix of Persian, American and latin music and they blended it all together perfectly and kept the dance floor packed. We even crowd surfed at the end! Very professional, fun and awesome group! I highly recommend EE!

I’ve used Exclusively Entertainment for our 1000+ person New Year’s Eve events for the past 5 years running. If you are ever in need of an event planner for weddings, corporate functions, private parties, etc., I highly recommend them. There’s a reason we keep using them year after year. They are reliable, professional, helpful, and of course, entertaining!

10 out of 10 A+. Iman, his team and DJ Saam made our wedding reception truly memorable. Searching for reception DJs began as a daunting task, but Exclusively EntertInment soon distinguished themselves as the go to specialist for any event. Every want and task was easily met by EE. They were promt and engaged with emails and Skype meeting while we planned the event. Their online website planning and payment tools make the process so easy and painless. Their prices are very competitive, and they included a military discount for us. DJ Saam was an excellent DJ and Emcee, and there was non-​stop dancing and celebrating during our entire reception. Will look to them again for any future parties, celebrations and events, no matter how big our small. Book them NOW!

Exclusively Entertainment’s (EE) involvement in our wedding was honestly one of the least stressful parts of the entire planning process. Iman Huschmand personally walked us through all the details (he is extremely professional by the way) we should be thinking about when looking at our event’s timeline and at any point if we hadn’t thought about an aspect, or weren’t sure what to do, he would provide a multitude of suggestions to make our lives easier. Honestly he is one of the best people to have on your side as you are going through the extremely intricate process of planning a wedding. He has access to the best equipment, people, and ideas. There was a slight bump that we encountered the week before the wedding about our uplighting, and he immediately resolved our issues by finding a local vendor to accommodate us. Additionally, I overlooked one aspect of the contract that requests a stage for the DJ and MC and he took care of it for me on the day of my wedding. No issues and I was able to enjoy my day without worrying about logistics. My only regret here is that I did not engage him for more of their services. (i.e. video)
Now, on to Iman himself as an MC. I truly believe that he single-​handedly made our wedding a success. He engaged the crowd in multiple languages and although we started late, he was able to navigate the evening smoothly so that the guests had no idea that we were behind schedule. I wish we could have another wedding just to have these guys host a celebration for us again! Easily and by far this was the best I’ve ever seen and I am not being biased just because it was our wedding ;-)
You will not be disappointed if you use EE for your event, especially when Iman himself is involved.

Exclusively Entertainment provided music for both our wedding ceremony and reception. They also did our lighting and videography. They kept the crowd going all night with their great choice of music and ability to respond to the guests. The lighting was beautiful and completely set the scene.
We also had the pleasure of using their DJ services for a work event recently. The guys were extremely professional and played appropriate music given the nature of the event.
We are 100% pleased with their professionalism and all the services they’ve provided for us. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for entertainment services for any occasion.
