Awarded Best of Zola
“Dan Moore from DJ Shark Attack was absolutely incredible. From the moment we met him, he exceeded all of our expectations. Not only was he an amazing DJ who kept everyone on the dance floor all night, but he was also one of the most genuine and thoughtful people we’ve ever met. We had a special request for a unique entrance into our reception, and Dan completely nailed it. He went above and beyond to make it exactly how we imagined, and it turned out even better than we hoped. On top of that, we asked if he could include last names during the wedding party introductions—something he doesn’t normally do—and he took the time to learn and pronounce every single name correctly. That level of care and attention meant so much to us. He also made a real effort to connect with all of our guests and made sure everyone was well taken care of throughout the night. While my husband and I were off taking sunset photos, Dan got us plates of food and even kept them warm—something we hadn’t thought about, but he did without hesitation. Dan wasn’t just our DJ—he was a huge part of what made our day so special. If you’re looking for someone who truly listens, cares about your day and delivers it on every detail, DJ Shark Attack is the way to go. We couldn’t recommend them more!!!”

Awarded Best of Zola
“The photographer, videographer, and photo booth was absolutely perfect and our guests had a blast! However, even after going through the work of submitting a Spotify play list and adding do not play songs or DJ played the wrong version of our first dance song (I checked and we had the correct version listed on our playlist we sent over), he also played songs from our do not play list to the point I, the bride, came over to ask if he had the wrong list. He admitted he was using songs from the do not play list as he was not paying attention. I would also like to note, though our wedding was more casual, our DJ was dressed in a sloppy manner. His shirt was half untucked from his pants, there were stains on his shirt and pants. Besides a few hiccups, direct Entertainment was wonderful to work with!”

“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 truly could not have asked for a better DJ experience for our wedding! From the very beginning, Alex made the entire planning process feel easy, organized, and completely stress-free. He was always responsive, helpful, and genuinely cared about making our day exactly what we wanted. Then came wedding day — and DJ Bob absolutely crushed it. He kept the energy high all night long and somehow always knew exactly what song to play next. Even during moments when the dance floor slowed down, he kept the vibe fun, upbeat, and entertaining so the party never felt awkward or dull. He also kept everyone laughing and made the whole night feel so natural and enjoyable. What impressed us even more was how professional and smooth everything was behind the scenes. There were a few technical difficulties during the night, and honestly, we never would have known if we hadn’t been told afterward. DJ Bob handled everything so calmly and seamlessly that the energy never dropped for a second. That level of professionalism made such a huge difference and kept the night running perfectly. One of the things we appreciated most was how much stress they took off our shoulders. We were able to relax and fully enjoy our wedding because we knew everything was in good hands. From keeping the timeline flowing smoothly to making sure our guests were having an amazing time, they went above and beyond.”

I've been a DJ since 1997 starting out on the radio in college rotating between the morning wake-up, afternoon drive and late night. I have been DJing weddings since 2005 and I love watching soon-to-be newlyweds, their friends, and families enjoy themselves and being responsible for leading those once in a lifetime moments.

“First, Nate, thank you for making our wedding dreams come true. Not only did our family and friends love and adore you, but you also redefined what it means to go above and beyond and care about people. That is simply what Nate does best. There aren't enough paragraphs to describe our experience with Nate. He always went out of his way to care for us. We were the priority. The process leading up to our wedding was so smooth. We always looked forward to our meetings with Nate. He made them fun and introspective, and he's highly accessible. From our first meeting, my now wife and I were hooked. He has a wonderful personality, and he never stopped caring about us. He made sure that our vision was met and executed to perfection. Also, the extra attention to detail was the icing on the cake. He listened to our vision and music choices and helped make our wedding possible. What is so great about Nate is that we never once felt like we were a number. Through this process, we all became family. In terms of the ceremony and reception, everything was perfect. The audio, the music, the vibes, and especially the beautiful uplighting were immaculate because of Nate. Not once did his energy drop, if anything, he made sure the party continued, and it did. He took control and didn't miss a beat on our special day. Nate understood exactly what to play, and he made our day easier. That's exactly what a DJ is supposed to do and then some. Also, his love and knowledge of music is just phenomenal. I know the themes of this review have been about family, caring, and service, and that's exactly what you get from Nate. Also, we had an amazing saxophone player who was fantastic. He's a great addition to Nate's platform. Let me say this. If we could get married again, Nate would automatically be the person we'd go with. There's no one like Nate, and there won't be. Nate is special and is truly one-of-a-kind. He creates memories, and we're just waiting to be able to have him as a DJ at another family function. He deserves all of the stars, likes, you name it. His YouTube page is amazing as well. Like I said, he is family now, and we love you, Nate! Which is why Nate Jones will always be our DJ.”
