“We couldn't have asked for a better DJ team for our wedding. From the very beginning, they were incredibly organized, communicative, and easy to work with throughout the planning process. They really listened to what we wanted, offered thoughtful guidance, and made sure every detail reflected our vision. One of the highlights was the custom song they helped produce for our ceremony processional. It turned out exactly how we had imagined and made the moment even more special. We also hired Luv'd Up Films as our photography team, and having both teams work together made the entire day run so smoothly. They communicated seamlessly with one another, making every transition effortless and allowing us to stay present and enjoy the day without worrying about logistics.

If you’d rather hear literally anything else than the same ten overplayed wedding songs on repeat, welcome. You’re in the right place. You’re building a night your friends will still be talking about twenty years from now, the kind where the energy builds naturally, nobody leaves the floor, and every song hits like a core memory. You don't want a robotic DJ barking into a mic, and you definitely don't want a copy-pasted playlist. You want a soundtrack with actual soul and flawless taste. That’s where we come in.

“We got married in June 2024, and had Thaddeus as our DJ. Mackenzie took care of the photo-booth. Over the course of the 9 months leading up to the wedding I probably had 4 or 5 calls with Thaddeus to give him the general vibe we were looking for & work out details. He was professional, honest, and gave great feedback. We had many specific asks and Thaddeus made sure all of our wants fit into his plan. Once the party was going, we gave Thaddeus the creative freedom to do his thing & make sure our guests had a good time. He totally delivered. I absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ that can keep the party going! Mackenzie was great to work with as well. Empire State Events got more backdrops to choose from in the middle of our planning, so she gave me the option to switch! I’m glad we did, the eucalyptus backdrop fit perfectly with our vision. Mackenzie was incredibly friendly & ready to help anyone that needed assistance. Our guests loved the photo-booth & our kids/nieces & nephews were entertained too! Win-win!”

“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.”

We shared with him a playlist of some of our favorite songs, a list of "do not play" whether they were styles of music, artists or specific songs and a "must play" list. His online forum was easy to navigate and use. We loved the uplighting and the audio guestbook (phone)!! Also I appreciate that he read and followed through with all the small notes we left for him (specifically we asked for father/daughter, mother/son and first dance to end after the chorus and not play the entire 3-4 minutes). Such a great time. We received so many compliments on our music and the dance floor was busy all night long! He was always very responsive and quick to work with any last minute changes (we had a rainy day).”

It’s the one-on-one relationship that you have with your event host throughout your planning that will, and absolutely should, spill over into the atmosphere of your event.

DJ Chris was responsive to our requests and took time to really understand what we wanted, while also reading the room and keeping the energy right all night long. His transitions were smooth and the song order kept people engaged—the dance floor didn't empty once, and I was out there dancing to nearly every track.

“My fiancé and I were very close to not hiring a DJ for our wedding, until we were recommended Lucas, and now I can't imagine how we could have had our party without him! He was fun, easy to work with, and most importantly played the music we wanted to hear! He curated the vibes perfectly of every segment of our wedding from the ceremony to reception, and we had so many guests tell us he was the best DJ they'd ever experienced at a wedding! I danced all night and that was my goal! Can't recommend him enough”

“From our first conversation, Chris Johnston made it clear he genuinely cares about getting to know his couples and their music tastes. He nailed our vision for the reception and kept people dancing all night—seriously, no one sat down! What impressed us the most was how he mixed songs that worked for everyone, from our grandparents to our friends, and everyone had a blast. Our guests are still talking about how the music was 10/10, and we have to agree. If you want a DJ who is professional, fun, and actually listens to what you want, Chris Johnston is your guy. Just be ready for a packed dance floor the entire night!”

“The first time I met Tony I knew he was going to be our DJ. He was so easy to talk to, and aside from that out of all the DJs we met with he was the only one that asked us what we wanted and what kind of music we had in mind. Hiring Tony was by far THE BEST decision we have ever made. Our dance floor was packed all night, and even the event staff were dancing throughout the night because he was that good. Everyone I talk to raves about how much fun they had and how awesome he was. Not only will he make sure the music is great and your dance floor is on fire, but he actually cares about what you and your significant other want. The week before our wedding so many vendors were reaching out to us about all the things that needed to be finalized; but when we met with Tony that Tuesday before our wedding he was such a breath of fresh air. After that meeting my finance and I were like okay we are ready, and we know we are going to have fun. Not only is Tony himself an amazing DJ and person but so are the other members of his team. One of his associates was the DJ for our afterparty and he was equally as amazing. We can honestly say that we had SO MUCH FUN at our wedding and a large part of that was due to Tony and his team. We would hire Tony and his team again in a heartbeat and we recommend that you hire him too!”
