Persian Wedding DJ in Washington, D.C.
Aghd to after-party — a DJ who knows the Persian wedding inside out, in Washington, D.C..
A Persian wedding is two celebrations in one — the elegance of the Aghd and the all-out energy of the reception — and it takes a DJ who understands both. The D.C. metro — especially Northern Virginia's Tysons and Fairfax corridor — holds one of the largest Iranian-American communities on the East Coast.
Deejay AL reads a Persian room the way it needs to be read: the right tempo for the sofreh and Aghd, the classic 6/8 and Bandari that fill the floor, the Persian pop the aunties and uncles are waiting for, and the open-format Top 40, house, and hip-hop that keep the younger crowd dancing until the lights come up. Based in San Diego with a Las Vegas residency in the Tao Group family of venues, Al travels for the right celebration. Serving the D.C. metro, including Northern Virginia and suburban Maryland — including Tysons, Bethesda, Arlington — for weddings of every size.
