They had a wonderful in-depth survey where they asked about our music preferences and wedding day timeline to ensure they were fully prepared. On the day of, Tim the DJ did a phenomenal job keeping the party going and on schedule.

“Christian was our Dj for our wedding in April and helped make it one of the most perfect nights. Every single person enjoyed the music and we truly danced the night away. He also was so helpful when it came to coordinating exactly how I wanted aspect of the day to be from the ceremony to the last dance and consistently followed up to make sure we were enjoying everything or needed anything changed. We also did the Photo Booth inclusion and it was such a fun addition to the night that all of our guest enjoyed!

HiMotive Entertainment & Photobooth

Rating: 4.7 (82 reviews)

“DJ Motiv was extraordinary. I was so impressed by his professionalism, communication, and willingness to make sure our night was perfect. I was skeptical at first with some reviews mentioning that the DJ’s weren’t playing the songs they chose. I immediately reached out and that was informed that it would not be an issue. ALL of our chosen music was played, with some song requests of guests (with bride’s approval, per DJ motiv - loved that). DJ Motiv checked in with us constantly, even to make sure our food was at our table, if we needed drinks, if the music was going well, and if there was anything he could do. He was going above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed. I even threw in special requests during my wedding, including him stopping my parent dance half way (on purpose) as if the music turned off, to take the mic and give a short speech. He did it phenomenally. I had a game request, with him being the commentator and director of, and he took that role and ran with it. The wedding guests LOVED him. I have nothing negative to say about his services. Even the photobooth was done great! I also had a custom sign made, with our new last name, and it was perfect! Such a great item to be able keep, and you get a year warranty on it. Anyway, I highly recommend this DJ!! He MADE our wedding perfect. Everyone loved him.”

I really think the DJ can make or break a reception because they set the entire tone for the night, and he set ours PERFECTLY. He read the room so well, kept the energy exactly where it needed to be, and made the whole night feel effortless and fun. The dance floor stayed packed, the music was amazing, and everything flowed so naturally. He knew when to turn the energy up, when to let a moment breathe, and how to keep everyone having a good time without it ever feeling forced. Looking back at our wedding, the atmosphere was exactly what we wanted, and he was such a huge part of that. I truly could not have asked for a better DJ. If you’re debating where to prioritize your wedding budget, do not underestimate how important a great DJ is. He absolutely nailed it, and I would recommend him a million times over.”

“We had an absolutely amazing experience with David Floyd, “DJ Squirrel,” from Horizon Harbor Events for our wedding! From the moment we started working with David, he was professional, friendly, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our wedding reception everything we hoped it would be. David did an incredible job keeping the energy and excitement going throughout the entire celebration. The music selection was fantastic, and he did a wonderful job reading the crowd and knowing exactly what to play to keep everyone entertained and on the dance floor. From our special songs and meaningful moments to the high-energy dancing later in the evening, everything flowed perfectly. One of the things we appreciated most was how easy David was to work with. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but having a DJ who was organized, dependable, and attentive to our requests gave us one less thing to worry about. He listened to what we wanted, incorporated our preferences, and brought his own experience and personality to make the reception feel fun and memorable. I wanted to surprise my mother with a dance and little script to ask her on the dance floor. I asked DJ Squirrel to read the script for me as I knew I wouldn’t make it through. He was very willing to do what I asked but offered a more personal touch!! He gave me the option to record myself saying the script and he blended it into the beginning music of the song! My mom lost it!! What a personal touch and such a thoughtful suggestion! The sound quality and overall presentation were excellent, and David worked seamlessly with the other vendors to help everything stay on schedule. He helped create the perfect atmosphere for every part of the reception, from the special moments to the celebration with family and friends. Our guests had such a great time and had so many positive things to say about the music and entertainment. The dance floor was full, the energy was incredible, and we made so many wonderful memories that we will cherish for years to come. Not only did we use his DJ services, we used his uplighting which made our whole reception space a party vibe, Photo Booth that was personalized with our names and even wedding flowers on the photo strip, and audio guest book to cherish for so many years to come! We are so thankful to David Floyd “DJ Squirrel” and Horizon Harbor Events for helping make our wedding day so special. If you’re looking for a DJ who is professional, talented, personable, energetic, and truly cares about giving you an unforgettable experience, we highly recommend David and Horizon Harbor Events. He absolutely exceeded our expectations, and we would choose him again in a heartbeat!”

Prime Time Event Group

Rating: 5.0 (23 reviews)

“I am a professional wedding coordinator turned queer bride and I was worried about finding a good DJ for our wedding. Many wedding DJs give me second hand embarrassment and create a cringey homecoming-y vibe. Also, we had a guest count of just 47 so we were worried about finding a DJ who could get the dance floor moving with such a small group. Frank was everything we were looking for and more!!! Frank absolutely BLEW US AWAY with his professionalism, talent, and personality! In meetings he was attentive, explained everything in detail, and really worked to get to know us as a couple instead of just a cookie cutter one size fits most format. QUEER COUPLES THIS IS YOUR DJ!!! As a queer couple, we were in search of vendors who would make us feel safe and welcome through the whole process. We absolutely found that in Frank! He was open and understanding of pronouns, identities, and family dynamics. He truly cared and listened to us about each and every aspect! We felt truly celebrated, safe, and welcome! On the big day everyone was telling us how well they could hear everything during the ceremony (it was outside and windy) and we gave alllllll the credit to Frank’s high quality equipment and skill. My spouse and I kept talking about how good of an announcer he was and how well spoken he was. Zero cringing on my end (which is HUGE for me)! His lighting and set up was professional and elegant. It didn’t take away from the rest of the decor while still lighting up on the dance floor beautifully and made for the perfect dancing atmosphere! Once it was time for dancing he kept the party going until the last song even with our small guest count! We had a blast and Frank played a MASSIVE role in that! He worked seamlessly with our planner and designer, Mia, with Little Acorns Events who recommended him! Our timeline, experience, and vibe was perfect thanks to their collaboration!!! We couldn’t possibly recommend Frank with PTEG enough! Trust me he will be the highlight of your event!”

They were very interactive with the crowd and even let the groom (a guitar player) get up there and jam out with them. This was such a fun addition to the wedding and we loved every minute of it!”

“We hired DreamWorthy Events for our wedding and couldn't be happier with our choice. Ricky was thorough from start to finish, making sure my husband and I felt great about the playlist and happily adjusting anything we wanted changed. His attention to detail really showed on the big day—the music set the perfect tone and kept our guests dancing all night. We had zero issues with his work and the vibes were exactly what we hoped for. If you're looking for a DJ who takes pride in his craft, Ricky is your guy. Thanks so much for making our reception unforgettable!”

“Choosing Kevin and The Rollex Band was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. After considering several bands, we ultimately went with Rollex and we’re so glad we did. Kevin was incredibly responsive and flexible throughout the planning process, which made working with him a breeze. He took the time to understand our vision and helped ensure that everything ran smoothly on the big day. The band was phenomenal. Their transitions were seamless, the energy was amazing, and they absolutely nailed our first dance song. So many of our guests came up to us during the night (and after!) to tell us how fantastic the band was. If you’re looking for a high-energy, talented, and professional group that will elevate your event, we highly recommend The Rollex Band.”
