About Kelton Higgins
Kelton Higgins
Kelton Higgins is a multi-award-winning DJ based in Washington, DC and Brooklyn, NY. Flawless mixing and a vast knowledge of music combined with exceptional planning and organizational skills ensures each event is a tailored experience. Specializing in weddings (ceremony, cocktails & receptions) and private event entertainment you can be assured your working with one of the absolute best. If you need a DJ who can play ANYTHING and EVERYTHING you want - then Kelton is the one for you.
Personality and experience set me apart. There aren’t a lot of people out there with the necessary combination of creativity and responsibility to be a great private event DJ. A lot of “real DJs” are just plain rude, and most “wedding DJs” will not push the envelope beyond the lowest common denominator. I occupy that rare middle ground where I can take the lead or take requests, play for young and old, pop or niche audiences and keep everybody dancing. I also find myself grooving along in the DJ booth and having as much fun as the guests, which tends to be infectious.

Highly recommend!
Ty did an AMAZING job as our wedding DJ! Everyone was on the dance floor all night and the playlist kept the energy up. Everything was timed perfectly for our entire ceremony, the music during dinner was great too, and Ty ran with the minimal guidance and song list I provided and read my mind for what our guests would love. Highly recommend hiring Ty, Kelton and their team!!

Kelton Higgins and DJ Ty Were Incredible!!!
We had a great experience with Kelton Higgins! He was incredible to work with for ironing out the earlier details and set us up to work with the incredible DJ Ty! They were super organized and helped us pick all of our wedding playlists and even built out some music choices for pieces of the wedding we didn't have a specific vision for. They were super flexible and happy to work with us on any day of changes and accommodated all of our needs! Most importantly DJ Ty kept the dance floor going all night. We still had all of the guests on the dance floor when the last song played. He did an incredible job of picking out songs and music choices that fit our preferences and kept the crowd going. We had folks ask for his details for their events. I can't recommend the whole team enough!!

Exceeded Expectations
Kelton was an outstanding choice for a DJ. From prior reviews, we knew we would get a one-of-a-kind music experience where he blended our music interests with his musical knowledge to produce the kind of wedding where people are talking about the music for weeks after. People will want your playlist when this wedding is over. From our first intro call to the day of, Kelton offers a reassuring calm that “he’s got it under control.” And he does. Professional and kind, he made sure every part of our wedding matched the vibe we were seeking. Provide him with the information to describe who you are as a couple and where your music interests are and he’ll mix that into an evening of magic that starts from the time people are seating for your ceremony to the moment they’re begging for one more last song! Make your wedding plans easier and hire Kelton. You’ll thank yourself later :)

Unforgettable Celebration
Kelton and his team gave us the absolute party of a lifetime! We worked with Kelton early on in the planning process, and he was nothing but fun, organized, and easy to work with. He paired us with DJ Trevor for the wedding day, and it could not have been better. From the first call, Trevor was high-energy and truly passionate about working with us and the venue to make our vision a reality. He went above and beyond to assist my husband's family in performing a live song during the ceremony, providing all the equipment they needed and more. He worked flawlessly behind the scenes to keep the music flowing perfectly as we transitioned between different areas of the venue, and he made sure everyone giving a speech felt prepared and had exactly what they needed. The energy stayed high all night, and there was never a lull on the dance floor. The transitions were seamless and Trevor did an incredible job of curating a set that felt like a true reflection of us as a couple. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

10/10!
Kelton came highly recommended by our friends, whose wedding he’d DJ’d a few years prior, and we can see why! Everything about working with Kelton was wonderful! Our number one criteria in selecting a DJ was finding someone who didn’t have creepy “morning radio” vibes (you know the type), and we were relieved during our first call with Kelton that he was super nice and professional! His instructions for how to send him our music picks were clear, and as it came closer to the ceremony, we felt at ease talking through various options depending on the weather for our outdoor ceremony. We were lucky to have great weather, so Kelton set up a single, area microphone at the altar, which beautifully picked up both of our and our officiant’s voices—no annoying lapel mics needed! The sound set-up for our outdoor cocktail hour was perfect, too! He was great at being flexible and reassuring when things got slightly off schedule, and adjusted on the fly so the guests were none the wiser. During our reception, Kelton did a wonderful job keeping things moving and had a great feel for what songs the crowd was feeling to keep people dancing all night long!
