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!

Jay Tatum and his crew are simply the best! Craig Mann was so knowledgeable of all things music and reading the crowd to keep the dance floor jumping. Craig was easy going, flexible to the minute changes in timelines during our reception and his playlist was a hit! Our guests raved over our wedding and the great music that appealed to all ages. We highly recommend Active DJ Entertainment and Craig Mann or quite frankly any of Jays crew! Rest assured they'll bring the party to any event and keep the dance floor jumping!

Jason Tatum and Crain Mann were amazing! They were both extremely professional and truly made our wedding a huge success. Craig listened to what we wanted (a tough to fulfill combination of Grateful Dead and Top 40) and made the perfect play list. We had a daytime wedding and had everyone out on the dancefloor - a small miracle in my mind. He was also extremely flexible when I asked him to stay for an additional hour - we were not ready to shut the party down! I would highly recommend their services!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
