From the moment we booked HiMotive Entertainment & Photobooth, their communication was fast, easy, and personable.

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!

In 2021 I decided to officially open a business in hopes to meet and work with more couples like you!

ELEVATED EXPERIENCES | UNFORGETTABLE MEMORIES BRINGING MORE to the DANCE FLOOR SINCE 2009 Your wedding will be a celebration they'll talk about for years to come. But why they'll talk about it is what's got you worried. Good vibes. Epic music. A packed dance floor. Or, a party that falls flat? It could go either way. Which is why you need to know that those you've entrusted to help you with this once-in-a-lifetime party, actually know how to throw one. OUR STYLE IS: CONNECTION AND CREATIVITY. VISION AND PERSONALIZATION. ENGAGEMENT AND ENTERTAINMENT.

Hey! My name is Trey (he/him). Let’s be honest: the standard wedding DJ vibe can be a little cringe. I offer the antidote. I am a signed recording artist on 2 major global indie labels, Electric Radio UK resident, and have done support work for major names in the industry. That is unparalleled experience, achieved through unparalleled technical skill. If you are looking for a "Game Show Host" on the microphone, I am not the guy. But if you want a professional artist who can keep the entire dance floor packed until they kick us out of the venue, let’s get to work.

DJ Trey Triplicate was absolutely incredible from start to finish. His communication was super amazing - he was always quick to respond to our questions and very helpful in planning the music for our big day. On the day of the wedding, with the cold weather and snow storm, he had to set up at an earlier time than planned, but he delivered an amazing performance that had our guests dancing all night long. Everyone kept saying how amazing he was and how the music really made our wedding so special. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ to help make our wedding day so memorable.
