Exceeded expectations

Martin from Active DJ was amazing! None of our guests (all 165 of them) wanted to get off the dance floor! It was packed and we actually had to get on the speaker to tell people where to go next after the reception because no one was leaving the floor LOL. He was a huge part of helping the timeline and event run smoothly. The speeches and dances couldn't have went better ! He was very helpful in the meetings before hand and was quick to answer though email when I had a question. Look no further - Martin from Active is IT!

Main Stage!!

Active DJ is amazing! Martin brought the party to the dancefloor and adding in Tristan on the sax is a must! No one left the dancefloor the entire night. Don't forget to add in the CO2 cannons! Best night ever!

Amazing DJ!!!

I got married this past weekend and we were SO happy with our DJ, Mike! Mike was so sweet and fun to work with and he really took the time to listen to our music vision. He played all our favorite songs and kept the dance floor full! He is great at catering to all generations and all of our guests were raving about the music. Active DJ is super reliable and responsive, and they do their best to match you with a DJ best fit for your event and vision. Highly recommend!
