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.

DJ Stirfry was THE BEST. I cannot recommend him enough!! We wanted a very "low touch" DJ experience -- sort of like a house party style -- and he did an INCREDIBLE job. The night felt totally magic and the dance floor was completely full all night long! Throughout the process, DJ Stirfry was communicative and thoughtful and really worked with us to get a sense of the atmosphere we were trying to create and then nailed it! He also was really focused on creating a good sound experience throughout the night, and he set up three different sound areas so that music flowed across the ceremony, dinner, and dancing. Finally, the photo booth was INCREDIBLE and the photos look so so good . Thank you so so much for such incredible work!!

Nationwide Wedding DJs made finding a DJ for our wedding so much easier than we expected. Michael was quick to respond and got us connected with DJ Danny Crush, who turned out to be perfect for our event. Once we were linked with Danny, we didn't need a middleman anymore and could communicate directly, which streamlined everything. The setup was smooth and Danny kept the energy high all night long. Using an agency like Nationwide to find a local DJ in our area saved us hours of searching on our own.

Let me ensure that happens.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Sarah Beth! I was extremely stressed about choosing the right songs for our ceremony, but she was so calming, patient, and helpful throughout the entire process. She truly made everything feel easy and guided me in a way that took so much pressure off. She even went above and beyond by learning a new song that my husband absolutely loves, which meant so much to us. Honestly, my husband wasn’t fully on board with hiring a violinist at first, but after the wedding, he admitted it was one of the best decisions we made and was so glad we chose Sarah Beth! Her music added such a beautiful and special touch to our ceremony, and everything flowed perfectly thanks to her help with timing and coordination. I couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out. My only advice to future brides is to make sure you have someone record this part of your day or designate a family member to capture some moments—I didn’t, and I definitely regret not having more footage of such a special addition. If you’re considering a violinist, I highly recommend Sarah Beth. She truly helped make our day perfect!

We cannot say enough about DJ Rock Steady and his wife! They absolutely nailed it at our wedding on December 28, 2024. From start to finish, they were professional, engaging, and in total sync with the crowd, keeping the energy high and the dance floor packed all night long. Ours was a dry wedding (a fun little nod to the bride's rule: “If I can’t drink, no one can!”—though we did sneak in a champagne toast). Despite the absence of alcohol, the party was nothing short of epic. We owe that entirely to DJ Rock Steady’s incredible ability to create an electric atmosphere and keep everyone having a blast. The feedback from our guests has been overwhelming—many commented that it was one of the most fun and lively weddings they’d ever attended. It's true what they say: the DJ and the caterer are the backbone of any great wedding, and we struck gold with DJ Rock Steady. His talent, energy, and charisma turned our special day into an unforgettable celebration.

The Music Diva was the perfect DJ for our wedding! From the very first interaction, Brittany was fast and professional in her communication, which put us at ease during the planning process. On the day of the wedding, she was kind, respectful, and fun to work with. Brittany did an amazing job of lightening the mood and playing a great mix that even the children loved. She went above and beyond, even coming to help with my veil when it was trying to come out during my walk down the aisle. Brittany also worked with our budget as best she could, and we truly appreciate everything she did to make our special day so memorable.

I've been playing sax professionally in all genres of music since age 18 and focused on playing club/dance music with DJs since the mid 2000s. I am versatile enough to play with your DJ or I can provide a sax+DJ package. I live in Southern California but perform all over the country and internationally. If you're willing to cover my travel expenses then I'm happy to com perform for you where ever you are! Having me on live sax alongside your DJ is a great way to set your musical experience apart. It combines the best of a DJ experience but with a unique live element that you and your guests will not forget! Visit my Instagram for more.

Our guests are still talking about the amazing entertainment from our wedding, and thanks to Jason we had everyone on the dance floor all night long! He is truly talented, professional and brought the party- we couldn’t imagine having an event without him and DJ Misha again.

Hey, I'm Ben! A Minneapolis-based singer-songwriter whose music has been featured on ABC's Nashville, and in American Songwriter magazine. I delight in creating unforgettable wedding experiences, with the perfect song at the perfect moment. With over two decades performing at iconic Twin Cities venues like First Avenue, the Fitzgerald and State Theaters, and touring nationally and internationally, I specialize in delivering heartfelt acoustic performances that resonate emotionally and spiritually with couples and guests.

My wife and I had Ben play at our wedding in Nashville and it remains one of our favorite moments ever. Ben is a pro and super personable. We asked him to play a specific set list and he delivered better than we ever could have hoped for. Easy 5/5 rating here - highly recommend Ben and his music.
