A run of show the whole room works from

Solender Events

A run of show is a minute-by-minute script of everything that happens on the microphone and on the floor, cross-referenced against catering, AV and entertainment. Galas and award nights have more moving parts than almost any other event: a cocktail hour, a seated dinner, remarks from leadership, an awards segment, sometimes a paddle raise, then the move into dancing. Any one of them running long pushes everything after it.

We build run-of-show timelines alongside our DJ and MC teams for galas and award ceremonies across DC, Maryland and Virginia. Bring us in early and the program is built to protect the part of the night most guests came for.

  • Finalized and shared with caterer, venue and speakers a week ahead
  • A fixed time for every speaker and award, in writing
  • One or two buffer blocks instead of padding every segment
  • One named person calling cues on site
  • A firm start time for dancing or open social time

Sound, microphones and slides for meetings and conferences

Solender Events

Conference AV is four systems that have to work together: the speakers that reach the back row, the microphones, the screens, and the routing between them. Problems usually happen at the seams. A single pair of speakers covers a 50-person breakout; a general session of 300 or more usually needs delay speakers partway back in the room.

We support corporate conferences and meetings across the DMV with sound, microphones and technical staffing sized to the room. Reach out early so AV is built into the budget and the floor plan from the start.

  • Microphone types chosen per session: panel, keynote or Q&A
  • Every presenter's slides on one tested show computer
  • A wired backup microphone on hand
  • Venue AV rules, load-in times and dock access confirmed first
  • Recording and livestreaming planned into the scope from day one

This is a fantastic company, very attentive and helpful to make sure that everything for our school event was just right. I highly recommend them. Their staff is always warm and friendly!
Michelle BronzoEpic Events
Epic events made our event truly an EPIC one! Jared and his staff were on time, professional, and delivered top-notch service. We had an awesome DJ and a super fun photo booth. I highly recommend adding the mobile walk-around photo booth in addition to the stationary booth. It was great fun. Will book Epic the next time I have a special event.
Arlet Koseian-BeckhamEpic Events
As one guest said, our son's bar mitzvah was "the best party I've been to in 20 years!" Since he was our decorator, he's been to a few parties and knows what he's talking about! Credit definitely goes to DJ Laz and his team! They kept the energy level just right and seamlessly covered time when the caterer was delayed. The photo booth was a highlight for our guests, and the Epic Events team was great at making the photos special with a custom layout. A great company to work with from beginning to end!
Amira ReissEpic Events
Talk About Service! Wow, this team truly delivers. I called with a simple request: uplighting for a gala. Not only did I get that, I got so much more. After learning about their Photo Booth setup, I decided to add that too. Here’s where the exceptional service comes in. When it came time to choose a backdrop and the wording for each photo strip, I made my selections. But Jared asked if he could tweak them a bit, and of course, I said yes. He’s the expert! He helped me choose a more fitting backdrop and adjusted the typography to better align with our theme. It made all the difference. And the service didn’t stop there. Throughout the evening, Jared lent his expertise again and again. He knew the venue inside and out, guided me through its lighting and sound setup, and even saved the day when our stage arrived without a skirt or carpet. Within thirty minutes, he had a solution, his connections in the events world pulled through, and our stage looked perfect. All of this to say: Jared and his team go above and beyond. Their attention to de tail, professionalism, and genuine care made our event shine. I can’t recommend them highly enough.
Ann BrennanEpic Events
Epic events was fantastic from start to finish. The event planner was easy to use and incredibly well organized. Company owner and our DJ Jared offered incredible customer service and he and our motivator Dushaun kept kids and adults energized and engaged throughout the event. In addition to the music, Epic provided a great photo booth experience and quality decor and lighting. I highly recommend Epic Events for any upcoming party.
Alissa CrispinoEpic Events
We worked with Jordan for our wedding and my legs are still sore from never having left the dance floor. Jordan was involved in every stage of our planning process and made himself readily available for any questions, concerns, or random additions. He was even prepared for changes we needed to make on the fly, day of during the celebration. He read the room throughout the night and kept the dance floor packed and we couldn't have imagined a more perfect night; due in large part to Jordan and his team. If you need a DJ for an event you have coming up, there is really only one option in Maryland's DJ. The name of the company is fitting because they are by far "THE" Maryland's DJ and not just "A" DJ in Maryland  1 
Christopher WilliamsMaryland's DJ
My husband and I cannot recommend Maryland's DJ enough. Based on our preferences, we were paired with DJ Steve. We have been impressed with him since day 1. Having never planned a wedding before, my husband and I did not know the process. However, Steve walked us through everything. He was organized, clear, easily accessible, and had the crowd dancing all night. The company has a lot of prep documents which helped ups plan for the flow of the night and really consider what we wanted for our evening -- this helped so much. Would rehire again and highly recommend to others!  1 
Marissa BrickerMaryland's DJ
We are so happy we worked with Maryland’s DJ for our September 2023 wedding. They were extremely responsive and offered insight/suggestions when asked. Steve Hartka was our DJ and he was outstanding. The dance floor was packed the entire reception! Multiple guests told us how great our music was and they couldn’t believe they danced the entire reception. We are so happy with our experience and definitely recommend this company to any couple who wants to have a packed dance floor!  1 
Shelby BrunoMaryland's DJ
Had an absolutely fantastic experience working with Brian and Maryland's DJ! They have several DJ's in their company which I appreciated, the first meeting was seeing what kind of music we wanted played and what the vibes of the day we were looking for. We spoke with Andrew and he helped us figure out who would be the best match for us and he nailed it with us having DJ Brian! Everyone at the wedding said they had so much fun and everyone was dancing the night away. I think he did a great job of taking requests and playing what we wanted. They have a whole form and website to help layout the day and potential music suggestions which was incredibly helpful!! I do not have one single negative comment about them. I am so thankful that he was able to keep everyone dancing and giving the range of music everyone wanted and could relate to. Definitely recommend them if you are looking for a DJ!!  1 
Jessica HartyMaryland's DJ
The wedding was AMAZING! Brian did a phenomenal job picking songs off the must play list that kept people dancing. We got great feedback on the song choices and he clearly listened to us when we were discussing volume/ the Horah. Tyler and I were worried about music too loud; Brian did a wonderful job with that. On the dance floor, we could hear everything fine and by the tables we could talk at a good level! Moreover, for the Horah we asked for the moms/ dads to be lifted together and he did that, too. No complaints! During the ceremony and introductions he played all the correct songs, too! :D In conclusion, we were thrilled with the services and glad I asked my friend for her DJ company from her wedding in September of 2023. We will be recommending y'all! 
Mandi MarcusMaryland's DJ
Laz & John were amazing, they had the dance floor packed all night long at our wedding! They interacted with the guests and were the life of the party. Highly recommend them for any event! We are thankful we booked with a company like Maryland's DJ. The original DJ we were paired with had last minute health issues and was swapped out the day before. The owner, Jordan, made sure Laz & John were up to speed and able to deliver a seamless experience on our wedding day (easy to do with the great online portal and planning forms they use for their clients).  1 
Joey KoziolMaryland's DJ
My wife and I had a wonderful experience with Maryland's DJ. We worked closely with DJ Steve throughout the entire process and we both have nothing but nice things to say about him and the company as a whole. Steve was responsive with emails and their portal is a great tool for filling out forms and music choices, contacting your DJ and keeping track of your payments. The best part about the experience was the wedding day. Steve and his assistant showed up on time and had everything set up within an hour. He took down all of our important song requests. These guys are true professionals. Everything was so on point with ceremony and cocktail hour music. And the reception was one for the books. Steve and his assistant had our dance floor packed throughout the entire reception. We had multiple people tell us after the fact that it was one of the best receptions they had ever been too. And a large part of that is owed to Steve and Maryland's DJ for making our special night a truly memorable one.  2 
Zach WilsonMaryland's DJ
Jordan was the DJ for our wedding and did a phenomenal job. He's an awesome guy, and not only a great DJ but a great voice on the mic as well! His company's website made the entire process very easy. The LED lighting is 100% worth an add on, it looked incredible, and his speaker/stand set up looked very nice in the room. I would recommend these guys to anyone. Positive Responsiveness, Quality, Professionalism  2 
Matt AllenMaryland's DJ
Our experience with Maryland’s DJ was incredible from the beginning! We met with a rep virtually who led us through an extensive presentation of all they had to offer. He asked us about our vibe and matched us with one of their DJs accordingly. Then we met with our DJ Jamaal. They have an awesome portal where you add in all of your music requests, even when to fade out, etc. We had a meeting with Jamaal a month out and he was very flexible with all of our last minute changes. We 100% recommend Maryland’s DJ for anyone looking for a fun, professional, company to work with. 

We do, and we provide certificates naming your venue as additional insured on request.

See every area we serve
Can you help us build the run of show?
Yes. We build run-of-show timelines alongside our DJ and MC teams for galas and award ceremonies. It works best built jointly by the planner, the caterer or banquet captain and the DJ, MC or production team, finalized at least a week ahead and shared with the venue, the caterer and every key speaker.
Read the run of show guide
How do you keep speeches and awards from running long?
Every speaker gets a specific time allotment in writing beforehand, and the MC or DJ flags time discreetly with a countdown light or a hand signal agreed in advance. For awards, decide ahead of time whether every winner gives remarks: open-ended acceptance speeches are the most common reason an awards segment runs over.
Read the run of show guide
What microphones do we need for a panel, a keynote or Q&A?
Panels usually want lavalier or headset microphones so hands stay free. A keynote speaker who moves around the stage needs a headset or a handheld, not a fixed podium microphone. Q&A needs a plan for audience microphones, either staffed roaming mics or a fixed aisle mic, decided in advance.
Read the conference AV guide
Our presenters are bringing their own laptops. Is that a problem?
It is the highest-risk moment of a conference. The fix is to have every presenter send slides in advance, load them onto a single show computer tested the day before, and have a technician advance the deck on the speaker's cue.
Read the conference AV guide
Can you record or livestream our sessions?
Tell us at the start, because it has to be planned into the AV scope from day one. Good recorded audio needs a direct feed from the sound board, and livestreaming needs bandwidth that many hotel and conference center internet plans do not support without an upgrade, so confirm that with the venue early.
Read the conference AV guide
Our venue has in-house AV. Can we still bring you in?
It depends on the venue. Many DC-area hotels and conference venues have in-house AV departments or preferred or exclusive vendor requirements, and others are open to outside production as long as load-in is coordinated with the loading dock. Ask the venue whether AV is exclusive before you book, and we coordinate load-in with the venue and your planner.
Read the conference AV guide
How many technicians does a conference need?
A single-room, single-day conference under 150 people can often run with one experienced technician managing sound and slides. Add breakout rooms, a general session with lighting cues or presenters rotating on a tight schedule, and you need at least one technician per active room plus someone managing the overall show flow.
Read the conference AV guide
What makes a company holiday party work?
Sequencing more than budget. A DJ who also MCs can welcome guests, guide people to dinner, introduce a toast and build the dance floor instead of forcing it. Uplighting in your company colors separates the party from the quarterly town hall, and remarks placed deliberately in the timeline do not stop the dance floor once it is going. December Thursdays and Fridays book first.
Read the holiday party guide
Can you play an outdoor company picnic?
Yes. We provide DJ, sound and photo booth services for outdoor corporate events, including generator-powered and weather-protected setups. Power is the first question, since most parks have no outlets near where a DJ would set up. Check permit rules for amplified sound with the park, and have a rain plan with a decision deadline and a named decision-maker.
Read the outdoor event guide
Do you work with nonprofit galas and fundraisers?
Yes. We have supported fundraising galas across DC, Maryland and Virginia with DJ, MC, lighting and photo services built around the ask, not just the party. During the appeal or paddle raise there is no music under the speaker, only clean sound, and the moment the ask closes the music moves straight into something upbeat.
Read the nonprofit gala guide
Can a photo booth carry our brand or capture leads?
Yes. An open-air print booth with a custom border carrying your logo, event name and date turns every print into something branded that leaves with the guest. A green screen can change branded backgrounds between sessions without rebuilding anything on site. At a trade show, guests can enter an email address to receive their photo, which captures the lead as part of using the booth.
