“We worked with Active Entertainment for our wedding at 128 South, and our DJ Shawn was absolutely incredible. He handled everything—ceremony music, mics for the officiant and readings, cocktail hour, dancing, lighting, and MCing—and did it all flawlessly. Shawn totally understood our vibe. He followed our must-play and do-not-play lists to a tee and added his own creative touches and fun mixes that fit perfectly. He kept the energy up all night. The dance floor was packed the entire time—people didn’t want to leave! Our friends & family are still talking about how amazing the music was. There were so many special moments, but one standout was that Shawn filmed our private last dance and sent it to us after the wedding. It was such a thoughtful surprise and something we’ll treasure forever. We can’t recommend Active Entertainment enough. Truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding and our day would not have been as amazing without Shawn!”

The quality of their work was truly amazing - it exceeded our expectations and was top of the line. They answered all of our questions, gave us helpful direction on what would work best, and were so patient with us and our family. We really felt like Jess and her team genuinely cared for us and our special day. We are thrilled with the stunning photos they captured that we will cherish forever. We highly recommend Jess Lojek Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.”
