What clients say
DJ-I.O. did an outstanding job at the City of College Park, National Night Out!!! He arrived during our set up period, he got prepared for the event, and he got the crowd energized. His music selection was great, and he worked with our team when presentations were being made. He did a very professional job and had a great attitude even with being outside in the heat.
Epic Events is wonderful! Jared and his team are communicative, lovely to work with and truly care about your experience. Not only have I been a guest at events they’ve been at but I used their photobooth and it was a hit. I will continue to use them for future events and parties. Highly recommend!!
Epic Events (Jared, Laz and the whole team) are fantastic! The glowing reviews for them are accurate. If you are considering them for a Mitzvah event, look no further and book them. Laz and his team did an amazing job at my daughter’s Bat Mitzvah Party! Everyone had such a great time, especially my daughter! She had a lot of input on the music and games and Laz really put together the party she dreamed of. We will definitely hire Epic Events for our next Mitzvah event!
Jared and the team at Epic Events were amazing for my daughter's Bat Mitzvah. Jared was our MC, with Desiree as the Motivator, Ayo helping DJ, and Amanda at the photo booth. Everything went off seamlessly and he was great at engaging our guests. He played all my daughter's favorite songs and she had the most amazing evening. I would HIGHLY recommend Epic Events for your celebration!
We used Epic for a DJ and photobook for our 5th grade promotion ceremony at school. They were so easy to work with, showed up on-time and kept the party running smoothly. They will be my go to going forward for any party planning needs.
We booked Laz as emcee for our son's bar mitzvah. He knew just how to work the crowd, and also how to read the room. The games were a ton of fun, and both kids and adults had a great time!
We could not have been happier with our experience with Epic Events. The planning was smooth, and the execution was flawless. Wendy and DJ Theiry brought the perfect energy to our party and we cannot recommend them highly enough.
We had a great experience with Ayo. He was on time for set up and took requests, which the guests loved. He kept us entertained and dancing all night. Thanks Ayo and Epic Events!
Jared and Lance were an amazing team! My daughter felt so heard, seen, and taken care of, it was a joy! Jared had been so open and clear with her before the event that my very shy daughter was comfortable coming up to him with requests. He included my younger daughter beautifully, stepped in to save trivia when our venue dropped the ball and was all around cheerleader extraordinaire, keeping everyone moving and having fun. My daughter came out of it saying “I didn’t realize how much I like to dance!” Thank you so much Jared and team for a night we won’t forget! We will see you in 4 years for the next one!
Epic Events did a fantastic job at our children's b'nai mitzvah. Laz and Ayo were amazing at keeping all the guest entertained and happy. Many folks commented on how great they were and can't wait to use Epic for their future events. Jared was very responsive and made the planning and overall experience super easy.
Working with Epic Events was nothing but seamless. Jared and his team are so knowledgeable, high-tech, and super friendly! Our roaming photobooth was a tremendous hit at our party, and the quality of the prints was spectacular! Thank you Epic!!
We had such a blast with Laz and John! They totally made the party!!! We met Laz at my sister’s wedding in 2025 and booked him immediately for our April 25 bat mitzvah. Best decision ever. They just know what music to play to get the crowd moving, and wow, everyone was moving for hours. Before dinner, after dinner, and even a little bonus track for the kids after the last song. We enjoyed working with Jared on the booking and getting everything ready on the back end. Can’t recommend Epic enough. We will enjoy these memories forever.
MC Laz Stark was outstanding. He kept the party moving, the energy high, and guests of all ages fully engaged from start to finish. He struck the perfect balance, fun and interactive without being over the top, and made sure every part of the event flowed smoothly. Former professional DJs who were guests remarked that he was among the best they had ever seen. Shoutout as well to DJ John for the music and Jamie the Motivator for helping keep the dance floor going strong. I’m pretty sure our little cousins thought she was a celebrity!
Jared and his team at Epic Events absolutely exceeded our expectations and made our seniors’ banquet a night they will truly never forget. DJ Element even reached out ahead of time to learn about our vision and what we wanted the night to look like, which made the entire experience feel thoughtful and personalized. He brought unmatched energy, reading the crowd perfectly and keeping the dance floor packed from start to finish. The atmosphere they created was incredible. From the moment we booked Epic Events through the entire planning process, everything was seamless and stress-free. Their communication was outstanding, always quick to respond, attentive to every detail, and genuinely invested in bringing our vision to life. It’s clear they care deeply about what they do, and it shows in every aspect of their work. If you’re looking for a team that will go above and beyond to create an unforgettable event, I cannot recommend Epic Events highly enough. We are already looking forward to working with them again next year!
