“DJ Wayzee absolutely made our wedding unforgettable. From the very first song to the last dance of the night, the energy never dropped. He didn’t just play music—he created an experience. Every track felt perfectly timed, every transition seamless, and somehow he knew exactly what the crowd needed before we did. What really stood out was how well he read the room. The dance floor was packed all night with guests of all ages, which is no small feat. He blended classics, modern hits, and our personal favorites in a way that felt natural and exciting. People are still talking about how much fun they had. On top of that, he was incredibly professional and easy to work with throughout the entire process. He listened to what we wanted, offered great suggestions, and executed everything flawlessly. No stress, no worries—just great vibes. If you’re looking for a DJ who will go above and beyond and truly elevate your event, DJ Wayzee is the one. We couldn’t have asked for a better soundtrack to one of the most important days of our lives.”

“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.”

“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!”

“Louis Pettinelli Entertainment was an absolute dream to work with. I thought that a live band for our wedding would be out of our reach, but LPE was so easy to work with and what an incredible value! Our band, LPE Snapshot was incredible and our ceremony musicians were amazing too! The vocalists were high energy and kept the whole event moving. They were great Emcess and they even added some special non-traditional reception activities for us. They were super flexible and played all the songs we asked for- even some very “niche” tracks we asked for during the ceremony. So many of my guests said the band was their favorite part of the reception. I highly recommend LPE entertainment! (I am also a musician myself so I’m very picky!)”
