Our philosophy at Signature Talent is that each client should be carefully matched to a specific DJ based on the DJs areas of expertise. An amazing house DJ might not be able to function well as an MC, and a talented wedding entertainer probably will not be familiar with underground tracks. DJs are different and matching the correct DJ to the client makes for a successful event.
Combining style and talent, Heather Femia provides a perfect musical mix. Coming to music by way of the high fashion industry, Heather understands the importance of charisma, and that the right music is essential for setting a mood. She has provided soundscapes to chic events for clients such as Motorola, Kodak, Virgin America, Ferrari, and Vogue.
Originally from Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico, Ruben performed an intense 7-day a week schedule on the Spirt of Washington harbor cruise from 2000 to 2007. Performing multiple shows daily on the ship to a widely diverse clientele gave him invaluable experience as a disc jockey. He has since performed at more than a dozen bars and clubs in the DC metro area, including Mat, Cafe Citron, Guarapo, and Chi-Cha Lounge.

Dave was awesome to work with! When we met during our zoom call, he put my mind at ease. He told me he will get everyone on the dance floor and keep them there; and that is exactly what he did. I have been to weddings where DJs stay on the mic too long and make it more about themselves, Dave did NOT do that. He truly made the night all about us. He played the songs we wanted and kept everyone dancing. Dave is amazing and we HIGHLY recommend him!

Dave was absolutely incredible! When talking to him before the event he said that he has this super ability to make people dance. I was a little skeptical since our families aren't dancers, but man I was blown away by the results. I never thought I'd see so many of our people out on the dance floor having a blast, even my parents! He was super helpful in giving advice and tips from all the weddings he has done before and was unbelievably accommodating when I texted him the morning of the event to add a bunch of Disney songs into the rotation. When he found out we were in drumline in college, he

David Grimm is amazing!!! From start to finish, he was the hit of the party! When he came out with his dhol to start the dancing, everyone was so excited! He knew just the right songs to play when we needed them. He was so flexible with shedule changes. He kept our reception on track. Whatever we needed, he was there! And when the night came to a close with our sparkler sendoff, he was out there with his dhol, keeping the party going!!! Our reception was amazing because of David. He was more than just a DJ... He was our MC, our timekeeper, a constant resource for literally anything ahead of the

We had found David through another local DJ who said he was giving us one of the best DJs and that he would not disappoint.... and let me tell you! He did not disappoint! From the very first phone call when we met I knew we had made the right choice. He was so easy to talk to, gave suggestions when we were not sure about certain wedding things, and was energetic, exciting and funny! To go even further, he told me he could call me whenever I wanted, even if it was to vent about the wedding details - what a guy! So fast forward to the wedding (we had our final details meeting a few weeks prior -

Dave was terrific both as a DJ and generally as a wedding vendor. As with many the last year we had to move our wedding back and Dave was really flexible in moving to our new day and immediately offered his services if there was anything else he could do to help. It really made the months leading up to the wedding easier that Dave was so communicative, gave sound advice, and really tried to understand what we wanted for our wedding day. Like many others have said Dave really reads the room and sets the tone, we wanted our wedding to be a party and he certainly delivered. The musical flow had the

What a pleasure it was to work with DJ David Grimm. Throughout the whole process he was so kind, professional, and such an asset in helping my husband and I- two people who did not enjoy wedding planning- plan a wedding. What really sets him apart is how skilled he is as an MC. Each transition occurred seamlessly and totally outside of my awareness, which my husband and I really appreciated. He made our friends and family giving toasts feel welcome and acknowledged. He also did an excellent job incorporating a blessing from an older relative who couldn't attend into the ceremony which was so, so

I cannot speak highly enough of DJ Dave! We had initially booked a DJ for our wedding through a different company and they fell through just a month before our wedding. We contacted Dave and he immediately stepped up to the plate and we are actually VERY thankful we ended up with Dave for our big day. From the initial contact, we felt SO incredibly comfortable with Dave and knew that we really lucked out finding someone as talented, kind, organized and easy to work with as Dave. He took the time to get to know us as a couple, our background and our vision for our day. He was very clear about costs

When I tell you that our guests didn't stop dancing from the minute the dance floor opened until the party ended, I'm 100% serious. David Grimm did a phenomenal job with our playlist and he knew exactly what our guests wanted to hear to keep the party going. We can't recommend him enough; he made our wedding an unforgettable night for everyone who attended. He was truly the best!!

First off, THANK YOU David for the amazing work you do! Secondly, we wanted to share how much we all (friends and family included at our reception) loved the music and games you provided. David was able to not only read the room but also bring out the fun in everyone as even some of the shyest people felt comfortable dancing :) My husband comes from a family of dancers and is a lover of music, so picking the right DJ was of utmost importance. That said, the quality and selection of music was wonderful and David was able to smoothly incorporate so many of our own requests before and during the reception

We were fortunate to have the opportunity to work with DJ Dave for our wedding this June. Throughout the entire planning process, Dave was very courteous and helpful with all our questions. Not only was he great to work with for all the usual wedding planning, he was also incredibly helpful when we had to postpone our wedding because of the pandemic. Amidst the stress of having to shift from our original date, Dave was very kind and supportive throughout.
By the time our rescheduled date approached, Dave was on it. He worked closely with us to ensure that everything was in place by the big day

We used DJ Dave Grimm for our August 5, 2017 wedding at 8 Chains North Winery and could not have been happier with him! From the beginning process until the big day he was in constant communication to ensure our wedding went off without a hitch. He was very accommodating to any requests for specific songs and had a great read on the crowd to pick up on what music made everyone dance the most! He was great at helping move the ceremony and reception along to keep everything within our time limits. He was the utmost professional throughout our experience. My husband and I highly, highly recommend
