HiMotive Entertainment & Photobooth did a great job keeping our wedding reception fun and upbeat. While their communication was a bit delayed leading up to the event, they were ultimately effective in executing on the day-of. The DJ kept the party going all night with a good song selection, though they did play 3 Taylor Swift songs in a row at the start, which we would have preferred more variety. The MC's ad-libs got a little overbearing at times, but overall they did a nice job sticking to the schedule and making important announcements. We'd recommend HiMotive to other couples looking for an energetic DJ.

Hey! My name is Trey (he/him). Let’s be honest: the standard wedding DJ vibe can be a little cringe. I offer the antidote. I am a signed recording artist on 2 major global indie labels, Electric Radio UK resident, and have done support work for major names in the industry. That is unparalleled experience, achieved through unparalleled technical skill. If you are looking for a "Game Show Host" on the microphone, I am not the guy. But if you want a professional artist who can keep the entire dance floor packed until they kick us out of the venue, let’s get to work.

Awarded Best of Zola
DJ Trey Triplicate was absolutely incredible from start to finish. His communication was super amazing - he was always quick to respond to our questions and very helpful in planning the music for our big day. On the day of the wedding, with the cold weather and snow storm, he had to set up at an earlier time than planned, but he delivered an amazing performance that had our guests dancing all night long. Everyone kept saying how amazing he was and how the music really made our wedding so special. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ to help make our wedding day so memorable.

Madeleine's Musicians

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Alston, GA

I’m Madeleine McEntire, pianist/organist and founder of Madeleine’s Musicians. I’ve never loved the typical “About” section—degrees and credentials matter (and yes, I have them), but what matters most is delivering excellence.

Awarded Best of Zola
Madeleine was so incredibly friendly and easy to work with, and she worked diligently to accommodate every request my daughter made for songs, timing, planning, and the wedding location! Madeleine was also incredibly responsive and every time I reached out to her, she returned the communication momentarily and she never once disappointed! Madeleine has set a standard for her business and the musicians whom she employs which truly is unparallelled, and while I am not a wedding planner, I have planned three daughters' weddings and the musician whom she sent to this wedding was far and away the best I have used, playing beautifully haunting and ethereally stunning music that carried out over the mountains at an outdoor wedding magically. I could not have been more impressed with the violinist's ability and if you are looking for any musician (or a combination of musicians) to play at a wedding, a party, or any other event, use Madeleine's Musicians and you will NOT be disappointed!
