“We cannot recommend DJ Eddie enough! He went above and beyond to help me execute a surprise for my husband during our ceremony, which involved playing a special song featuring the voice of his late mother. It was executed flawlessly and turned out to be one of my husband’s favorite moments of the entire day. As for the reception, the dance floor was never empty! Even family members who rarely dance were out there having a blast. So many guests told us, “The DJ was playing all the best tunes!” His song selections and transitions were perfect, keeping the energy high and everyone engaged. If you’re looking for a DJ who is professional, detail-oriented, and truly knows how to create unforgettable moments, look no further. They made our wedding absolutely magical! From the ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception everything was perfect! Hope these sneak peaks from our photographer (Jacal productions) capture the magical moment and serve as proof of the amazing time we had on our big day.”

“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.”

Corey was great at communicating - we had 2 zoom meetings with him and he had his own app to help coordinate music and announcements. He was a one stop shop, as we also used their photobooths and loved how they were able to put our logo on the prints. My venue was indoor outdoor and I wanted speeches done outside, and Corey was great about setting up wireless mics and speakers to make that happen. My friends went nuts when he started playing sax - he really got the party started and kept the dance floor packed all night long. He even helped edit our first dance.
