About Active Entertainment
Active Entertainment
As southeastern North Carolina's most sought-after dj services, with a long-standing reputation as the go-to dj service for clients that value what a talented dj can bring to an event. Based in Wilmington, NC, we travel the area to deliver dj, sound, lighting, and photo booth services that will make any social event shine.
We’ve mastered the art of DJ’ing. Every DJ on our team is a skilled mixologist who understands the technical side of the craft: mixing beats and blending songs. But we’re not just music geeks. We’re friendly, approachable, and great at reading the crowd—an art that can take years to perfect. Although some DJ services play a preprogrammed playlist from their laptop, Active Entertainment invests in state-of-the-art, professional-grade equipment. A DJ from Active Entertainment subtly guides the flow and vibe of your event, inspiring a night of dancing, fun, and endless memories. That’s what your event deserves. And that’s what we deliver.

Truly personal and electric execution
Active DJ Entertainment absolutely exceeded our expectations. Early in the planning process when I was meeting with wedding planners, every single one told me that Active Entertainment was the best choice we could make, and they were completely right. They handled both the sound for our ceremony at Airlie Gardens and the music for our reception at Bluewater Waterfront Grill, and everything was seamless from start to finish. They even accommodated a friend of ours who played piano during the ceremony. Martin was our reception DJ, and he did an incredible job taking the time to truly understand our music taste, preferences, and overall vision for the night. We wanted the music to feel like a high-energy concert and he executed it perfectly. The dance floor was packed all night, and the transitions and pacing were electric. At Martin’s recommendation, we also added the live saxophone, which was one of the best decisions ever. It brought amazing live energy to the reception and elevated the whole experience. Multiple guests told us it was the best music they had ever experienced at a wedding, and everyone had an incredible time all night long. We are so grateful to Martin and the entire Active DJ Entertainment team for helping make our wedding feel so special, memorable, and soooo much fun.
Martin Eichert•May 12, 2026Thank you so much for the incredible review! It was an absolute pleasure providing the soundtrack to your wedding at Airlie Gardens and Bluewater Waterfront Grill. So happy to hear that Martin nailed the vibe you were looking for and kept the dance floor packed. It is always great to incorporate live elements, whether it was setting up the audio for your friend on the piano or bringing in the live sax to elevate the reception energy. Hearing that local planners confidently pointed you our way means a lot to us, and we are so glad we could exceed your expectations. Thank you for trusting the Active Entertainment team with such a memorable celebration. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness!

Martin with Active Entertainment was incredible! The number of family and friends that have shared such positive feedback following our wedding is a testament to how fun and inclusive Martin was in making sure everyone (of all ages) was out on the dance floor! He was thorough in understanding my husband and I, our preferences and the vibe we were shooting for and exceeded expectations. We could not have asked for a better entertainment experience!

Hands down best DJ!
Active Entertainment was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! From our first call, their communication was fantastic - they were always quick to respond and very easy to work with throughout the entire process. On the day of our wedding, Martin was our DJ and truly got the party started and kept the energy high all night long. The dance floor was packed from the first song to the last, and our guests are still raving about how amazing the music and entertainment was. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ to make our special day even more memorable. We highly recommend Active Entertainment. The best!!! Thank you Martin!
