For over four decades, Black Tie Entertainment has been at the heart of extraordinary celebrations across Northern Virginia, Richmond, Charlottesville, Washington, DC, Maryland, and beyond. Founded in 1978, the company has evolved from a humble DJ business into a comprehensive entertainment brand, renowned for professionalism, meticulous attention to detail, and an unwavering commitment to client satisfaction.
Black Tie Entertainment owner Dave Melton began his career as a radio and club DJ, where his passion and energy quickly set him apart. When he entered the wedding industry, he recognized a gap: couples weren’t only seeking music, but also professionalism, preparation, and peace of mind for their most important day.
Driven by this realization, Melton transformed Black Tie DJs into Black Tie Entertainment, reshaping expectations for wedding and event entertainment.
“After 40+ years in the industry, I saw the need for a higher level of service and consistency in the wedding industry,” said Dave Melton. “In 2025, couples want more than just a playlist; they want their DJ to also be a skilled Master of Ceremonies, with access to entertainment options like photo booths, lighting, and event coordination. Cookie-cutter weddings are out; personalization is everything.”

Today, Black Tie Entertainment offers a full suite of services designed to elevate events:
- Wedding & Event Coordination Services: Professionally trained coordinators to ensure seamless flow from start to finish
