Awarded Best of Zola
Startime Productions was the perfect choice for our wedding DJ. From the beginning, their communication was always quick and reliable, which put us at ease throughout the planning process. The quality of their work and value was AMAZING - they were more personal and attentive than any other DJ we looked at. Stephen, our DJ, was amazing! He helped accommodate our drizzly weather and got everyone up and on the dance floor. I looked into several different DJs but Stephen was by far the winner, from his communication, enthusiasm, and genuine care for our special day. I would recommend using Startime Productions for any of our future events - you won't regret it!

DJ Trey, DJ Preston, and Nina were a delight to work with. They communicated SO well and are very experienced and professional. They took everything we put in our planning sheet and executed it perfectly. We had an outdoor ceremony, a separate outdoor dance floor, a photobooth, and an indoor hall where we needed microphones for speeches and DJ Preston handled and set up all of those setting flawlessly, giving us exactly what we needed. We were so impressed with DJ Preston’s ability to keep the dance floor going (our top priority) and LOVED the energy he brought to both the MCing and the playlist. We cannot recommend enough and love these folks!

Brian did an amazing job at our wedding. I work in events and am pretty picky about music and DJ's, but he far exceeded our expectations! I had several guests also comment on how good he was.

The harpist and violinist were absolutely incredible — truly one of the most magical parts of our entire wedding day. My husband and I were completely in awe, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful and cinematic the music was. It felt like something straight out of a movie, especially with the stunning ambiance of our ceremony location. From the very beginning, the process of choosing music through the company’s website was seamless. There were so many amazing song options to pick from, and we were so happy with our final selections. Hearing them come to life — especially on violin and harp — was beyond words. The musicians played so eloquently and gracefully, and their talent was unmatched. The music added a romantic, emotional, and elegant touch that elevated everything to a whole new level. Communication with the company was excellent. They were quick to respond, always friendly and accommodating, and remained professional and patient — even when unexpected weather challenges came up on the day of the wedding. They were flexible, understanding, and worked with us to make sure everything went smoothly. The quality of the performance was truly a 10 out of 10. Guests were completely blown away, and many told us how unforgettable and moving the ceremony music was. The transitions between songs were smooth and perfectly timed. I would 100% recommend this company to any couple looking to add something special to their ceremony. They are incredibly talented, professional, punctual, and just a dream to work with. We’re so grateful to have had them be part of our big day — they helped make it feel absolutely magical.

Hey there! I’m an outgoing & fun boutique wedding DJ that works with a limited number of couples to fully customize the vibe of the wedding day to your style & personality, and help guests have more fun than they planned on, until the very last song! As a DJ, host, & party producer I guide you through the wedding music to make the entire process easy, delivering an engaging wedding experience through crowd interaction (no awkward moments ever), full music curation, and immersive sound & full-room lighting design. Plus, your guests might just think you hired Pitbull ;)

Awarded Best of Zola
We couldn't be happier with Marty at our recent wedding! From start to finish, he exceeded our expectations in every way. First and foremost, his attention to detail is amazing -- he noticed a discrepancy between the couple introduction song that we had put in the Vibo app versus what our day of coordinator had on her wedding timeline. He then reached out to the day of coordinator to figure out which song was correct. He also took the time to understand what we were looking for for our cocktail hour and wedding reception. He reached out many times prior to our wedding to check in with us and make sure that all of our questions were answered. It was clear that he genuinely cares about providing a memorable experience. Marty is also flexible. Originally the plan was for our dance floor to be outside. However, due to a heat wave we ended up deciding to move the dance floor inside. Marty was able to easily accommodate this request and he also offered to put speakers outside so guests who were out on the deck would still be able to hear the music. We also recommend going with the up-lighting. He did a great job setting up the lights. The lights actually change colors and really change the vibe of the reception room once the party gets started! The live music he delivered during cocktail hour was a standout of the night. We had so many compliments from guests about his cocktail hour performance. Another aspect that truly set Marty apart was his willingness to go above and beyond. Not only did he do a great job reading the vibe of the room in order to keep the dance floor lively, but at one point he also helped with cleaning up dinner plates. He showed a level of dedication and professionalism that's rare to find. Marty played a crucial role in making our wedding a success. We highly recommend him for any occasion!

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.
