About Crow Entertainment

How long has Crow Entertainment been in business?
Since 1997 — nearly three decades. We're a full-time, family-owned DJ, photo booth, and event production company based in Huntingtown, Maryland.
What areas do you serve?
Two home regions. In the Mid-Atlantic we cover Delmarva (Delaware and the Eastern Shore of Maryland & Virginia), Washington DC and the wider DMV, Southern Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. In the Texas Hill Country / Central Texas we cover the Austin–San Antonio corridor, including Fredericksburg, Boerne, Wimberley, Dripping Springs, Marble Falls, and Kerrville.
What services do you offer?
DJ and MC services, the Smile & Click Photo Booth, and full event production — uplighting, drape, monogram projection, slideshows, and cold sparks. Book any one of them, or layer all three into a single package handled by one team.
Are you a full-time, professional company?
Yes. Crow is family-owned and full-time, and every DJ, booth specialist, and production tech under our name is vetted, trained, and fully insured. We never sub your event out to whichever freelancer is cheapest.
Do you have awards or industry credentials?
We've earned The Knot Best of Weddings and WeddingWire Couples' Choice for 15+ consecutive years, plus Best of Southern Maryland. We're members of the American Disc Jockey Association (ADJA) and the Calvert County Chamber of Commerce.
Do you offer any discounts?
Yes — we offer discounts for military, teachers, first responders, and nurses. Just mention it when you reach out.

DJ & Music

How much does a DJ cost?
DJ packages range from $300 to $6,000 depending on the services included. Most weddings in the DMV land between $1,500 and $3,500, while Central Texas weddings average $1,600 to $4,500. Pricing is fully customizable to your event.
Do your DJs also MC and make announcements?
Yes. Every Crow DJ handles more than music — ceremony sound, MC and announcement duties, crowd reading, and keeping the reception flowing naturally from one moment to the next.
Can we choose the music and give a do-not-play list?
Absolutely. During planning you'll shape the playlist, your must-plays, and your do-not-play list — and the DJ guiding your event is the same person you meet during planning.
Is your music properly licensed?
Yes. All of our music is legally purchased at the highest bit rate through Promo Only, our licensing source.

Photo Booth — Smile & Click

What photo booth styles do you offer?
Three: a fully enclosed cabin booth, a glam-style booth (Old-Hollywood black-and-white portraits), and a custom open-décor booth built around your event design — flower wall, neon sign, lounge vignette, and more.
Is the photo booth staffed?
Yes. A real Crow attendant runs the booth from setup through teardown — no kiosks, no "set it and walk away." Props are curated to match your event style.
Can we customize the backdrop?
Yes. Browse our lookbook to pick a backdrop, with add-on options like curtains, florals, and signage. We confirm your specific picks during planning.

Production & Lighting

What production and lighting services do you offer?
LED uplighting, bistro and globe string lighting, custom monogram projection, pipe & drape, slideshow production, and cold sparks — all plotted to your venue's floor plan.
Are cold sparks safe?
Yes, when they're done right. We run top-of-the-line, operator-controlled cold-spark units with a measured safety zone every time, and we plot placement during the venue walk-through. Cheap machines run by inexperienced operators are a real risk — that's not what we do.
Can we bundle DJ, photo booth, and production together?
Yes — our Full Production package layers DJ, booth, and lighting into one team for one event, fully customizable up or down to fit your day.

Booking & Planning

How do we book, and what's the process?
Start with our contact form. We'll follow up, talk through your date and vision, and confirm your booking. In-office consultations and venue walk-throughs are included.
Do you do venue walk-throughs?
Yes, and they're included. We confirm power, cable runs, drape anchor points, and projection throw distances before event day, so install is fast and quiet.
Do you also restore old video and photos?
That's our sister service. Crow Digital Services handles restoration of VHS, film, tapes, and slides — find it at crowdigitalservices.com.
