Brett was an EXCELLENT choice for our wedding. From the get-go he was enthusiastic, excited, and determined that we would have a great time at our wedding... and we did!

There were two things about working with Brett that really made an impression on me; his communication and willingness to do whatever we needed of him. I always knew that if I needed anything I could just text him and it would be taken care of. Brett wanted to ensure that we worried about NOTHING the day of our wedding and he did a fantastic job at that. He was always checking in with us throughout the night, but not so much that it was annoying. He energized the dance floor when it was starting to get slow and he kept the night running smoothly!

If I were to plan a wedding all over again I would most definitely book Brett... he was outstanding!

It was an absolute pleasure to work with you on your big day! And I have to say how happy I was that we were able to coordinate and plan with you being miles away. Skype took the hassle out of everything and I'm thankful for that. Your wedding was gorgeous and classy! Your guests were full of energy and that's what we thrive on! Thanks for giving us the opportunity and I wish you and Steven the very best!

Well where do we start...Our experience with Brett from Motor City HDJ was beyone amazing!! Brett is a professional, friendly, entertaining, energetic, MOST AMAZING DJ any bride and groom could ever ask for. Our reception went smooth as it possibly could and we thank Brett for this. He made sure we were on time with eveyrthing we had planned for our reception and we got it all in, thanks Brett for making sure we didn't miss anything. I tell everyone about Motor City HDJ and hope other brides read this and choose the best!! I have been to many wedding this year, and no DJ compared to Brett. Our guests are STILL talking about him and our wedding was one month ago. The other awesome thing about him is, we have gained a new friend out of this whole experiece. It has been fun and enjoyable working with someone like Brett. Hope others read this and give him a call. They will be SO happy they did. You want a memorable reception that people will remember for year....pick the only DJ in town that is worth booking....MOTOR CITY HDJ--BRETT CUMMINS....SIMPLY THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!
Motor City HDJ responded with the following comments:
Lori...you know how much I appreciate the two of you. It was an honor to share your very special day with your family and friends. And this just goes to show that this whole thing isn't just about the music...this is about friendship. Running in to the two of you at a cider mill almost a month later was a clear indication that this is more than just a DJ/client relationship. I look forward to seeing you again soon and I wish you all the joy and happiness for the future!

Brett was a great DJ! We thoroughly enjoyed working with him and our guests had a great time dancing.

Brett went above and beyond the call of duty for us. He was well prepared, professional, and very interactive.

I would highly recommend him to anyone thinking of booking them for their wedding.
Motor City HDJ responded with the following comments:
You and Tom are two of the funniest people I have ever met! It was an absolute pleasure to work with you and I'm glad that you had enough faith in Yvonne to book me. Everything worked out perfectly! And thanks to you, I now have a better appreciation for George Michael. I wish you both the very best for the future.

I've put off writing this review for a long time because I couldn't figure out what to say. There were a lot of great things about working with Brett, including his flexibility in providing sound in multiple spaces, his interactive website, and his price point. However, there were some things that I wish were a little different. For example, he definitely had a bigger personality and more of an entertainer feel than was presented in our initial conversations. Not necessarily a bad thing, just not quite what I wanted. I also spent a lot of time choosing music for our reception without going over board (meaning I didn't pick out music to fill the entire event); however, not all of the songs I picked out were played. This was kind of a bummer for me, but honestly, I think everyone at the wedding/reception still had a blast.

So, in the end, I would recommend Brett but I would just suggest you make sure that you're on the same page re: personality and music. Since I was planning my wedding from across the country, Brett and I unfortunately didn't have a lot of chances to sync up.
Motor City HDJ responded with the following comments:
Thanks again for letting us share in your special day! And yes, there are definitely drawbacks to coordinating an event over many miles and emails. I enjoyed every minute of your event and had a blast entertaining you and your guests. It is our sole intention to play every single song that a bride and groom requests, but it's difficult some times based on time constraints. Thank you again for the opportunity and the constructive feedback! We wish you and Jonathon the best!

Brett was an awesome DJ. Not only did he play the music but was very involved throughout the entire evening, acting as MC and kept things moving as they should be. I would recommend Brett/Motor City HDJ to anyone having a wedding reception, backyard BBQ, etc. He was just what we needed on our very important day!!!!
Motor City HDJ responded with the following comments:
Steve...thanks again for letting us be part of your big day! I loved your group and wish the very best for you and Lorraine! Keep me in mind for those barbecues...I love 'em!

Brett was absolutely fantastic. He kept the party going even though it was a Sunday night and played all of the music which we requested.

We could not ask for anything more. He even provided a mic for our ceremony which was at the same location. Definitely a great value for the money.
Motor City HDJ responded with the following comments:
Thank you again for letting me share your special day with you. Your wedding was very elegant and tasteful. I had a great time entertaining your guests because their music requests were some of my favorites to play! Keep in touch and I wish you and Nancy happiness for the future!

I came across MotorCityHDJ on Yelp, where I opened a thread looking for an affordable DJ in the Detroit area. Their services came highly recommended, stating they had a ton of experience and were all-around nice guys.

I was already on the fence about having a DJ as it was. We were having an afternoon wedding and were trying to keep costs low. The reception was only 3.5 hours long... I needed a good price in order to actually book someone.

I already had a few quotes and wasn't impressed with any of the prices, so what did I have to lose? I went to their website to do some research and gave them a call.

I got Brett, who was incredibly friendly over the phone. He totally understood our situation about having a DJ but gave us hope that there's good DJs out there willing to give a good price on a Sunday wedding.

We met him at a local Starbucks to sign the agreement. He went over every section of the contract in detail so we completely understood what he was responsible for and what we were responsible for. And he was incredibly friendly. His personality type gets along with everyone. I love people like that.

He accepted payment through Paypal, which was incredibly convenient for us. His website was really intuitive, with detailed forms for us to fill out with details about the ceremony, the timeline of the reception and even a music form so we could choose what songs we wanted him to play. On one of the forms, I made it clear what music I didn't want to hear and he totally stuck with that at the reception.

One thing I totally appreciated was how Brett was willing to do the outdoor music preceding the ceremony for no extra charge. We were having an extremely short ceremony, so I just wanted music to lead us down the aisle. We offered to pay extra but he said it wasn't a big deal. How sweet is that?

Up until the day of the wedding, Brett stayed in perfect contact with me. He even called me the day of the wedding to make sure I was staying calm (rain on my wedding day when the ceremony was supposed to be outside... of course I wasn't calm.) But it was a nice gesture. The ceremony was moved inside and Brett was awesome with the change of plans. He still played our processional music, jazzy music during dinner and finally dance music after dinner was served.

One detail we totally loved was that Brett wore a pink and purple tie so he matched our wedding colors! Small detail that made a big difference.

Everyone told me they loved our DJ. Some people even thought he was a personal friend of ours because he was so friendly and personable while on the mic. He played the exact music that I wanted to hear at my reception... classic rock with current dance hits mixed in. It's like he knew me my whole life with the way he nailed my musical preferences. He did perfect.

I couldn't say enough nice things about MotorCityHDJ. They turned us from an "on the fence" couple to "we totally needed a DJ" couple.
Motor City HDJ responded with the following comments:
Allison, I am so honored and humbled that we were able to change your mind about needing a DJ. I'm glad you did because I couldn't be more happy that you and your guests had a wonderful time. And of course, your cousin booking us because of that is proof that there is power in providing quality service. Thanks again for the opportunity to work with you. We wish you and Jacob the very best for the future!

This DJ helped me out in a last minute panic pinch, and I couldn't have asked for a better choice. He was prompt, communicated well, and did what he said he would do. I also had some special requests that were different than a normal DJ event and he met the requests beautifully. I would highly recommend his services and would definitely use him for another event in the future.
Motor City HDJ responded with the following comments:
I'm so glad that everything worked out as well as it did given your last minute details. The outdoor environment was gorgeous and your guests were totally in to the night!

Motor City HDJ provided exceptional service for our Wedding Reception. Brett has an awesome personality and made the journey so much fun from beginning to end. Motor City HDJ fit in our budget and the cost spent was well worth the services provided and more. Brett kept in touch with us all the way up to the wedding day which made this journey Stress free. (He still kept in touch and he even was on his own honeymoon).. That is what I call service. Motor City HDJ made our Reception everything we wished for and more. “Anyone looking for TOP NOTCH DJ with great personality , variety of music and fun excitement throughout the whole night then look no further”…
