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.

Tyson and Samantha were absolutely wonderful! We received so many compliments from our friends and family the day after our wedding about them. They all "loved the DJ" and "your DJ was so awesome, and amazing" and "we loved the music, he really understood the crowd and gave the people what they wanted" and "the photobooth girl was so great and so much fun". We even got compliments on how he had the perfect volume level! We couldn't have been happier with how the night went, how much fun our guests had, and how Tyson really understood our vision for the night while we prepped with him. They were so professional yet flexible with the pace if anything in the timeline changed and I did not have to worry about a single thing except having fun!

At Abe One DJ’s, we are passionate about providing the perfect musical backdrop for your special events. Whether it’s a wedding, private party, corporate event, or any other important gathering, our team of enthusiastic DJ’s will play the music you love and your guests will want to hear. With over four decades of experience, you can rest assured that we have the knowledge and expertise to handle any type of event, big or small. And because we have a team of DJ’s on hand, you never have to worry about a backup plan. We’ve got you covered!

WOW... just WOW. I hired Abe One DJ's for my wedding, and he crafted an incredible entertainment experience that was simply the best I've ever encountered!! Understanding the significance of having a great DJ for my big day, I interviewed multiple candidates, ultimately choosing Abe One DJ's because he truly grasped my vision and exuded the confidence needed to bring it to life... And he definitely delivered!! My wedding had an incredibly diverse crowd, and he skillfully catered to everyone's tastes. Throughout and after the event, guests praised his ability to read the room, sustain the energy, and creatively transition between songs, keeping everyone dancing the entire time! At one point, over 50 guests (including grandparents) were out on the dance floor swag surfing together—a core memory that I replay in my mind and on video since he also captured this fantastic moment for us!! Additionally, he was an excellent MC, engaging our guests during downtime with entertaining anecdotes. He even joined us on the dance floor to teach us new line dances. His preparedness was impressive; for instance, I had pre-requested him to announce my college alumni for recognition but forgot to request our fight song. When I approached him in the moment and asked if he could play it, he had it downloaded and ready to go without missing a beat!! Lastly, I genuinely appreciate the platform he uses to orchestrate the entertainment experience for the day. It’s incredibly user-friendly and allows you to upload songs straight from your own Spotify playlists. I could not be more thankful for him sharing his talents and playing such a vital role in creating a day we'll always remember. Thank you so much, Abe One DJ's!

We LOVED the music Matt played at our wedding party. He was seamless is transitioning genres from when the party first started to end of the night. I had SO many friends at the party come up and say they were loving the music. Best part was he didn't play a single one of those classic wedding anthem songs that everyone has heard a million times (which was our worry). He nailed it, couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our special night.
