Absolutely Phenomenal – Best Decision We Made!

Hire Scott Immediately! If we could give Hot Mix Entertainment 10 stars we would. Scott did a superior job at our wedding, way more than we ever could have imagined. Our guests are still raving about the music and how much fun they had. Scott was amazing and we can’t thank him enough. He was by far the best vendor we hired.

The EXCEPTIONAL Scott “Smokin” Silz is #1 Above the Rest!!!

If your looking for an entertainer that brings the party vibe, look no further! Scott is your guy!!! He was great to work with when collaborating on ideas for our day from start to finish. He is extremely professional and was so much fun with every meeting! So very helpful with the planning process and incredibly thorough in getting to know your musical tastes to create just the right vibe for your day. He kept our guests on the dance floor the entire evening and kept the party going until the very last minute.

Not only was Scott our DJ & MC but also provided a great photo booth with tons of fun signage props. We even opted for the photo booth guest book keepsake which we have looked at several times since our wedding! We also chose the uplighting offered by Scott that was placed throughout the event space which really enhanced the ambiance of the room!

Overall, it was an absolute honor having Scott “Smokin” Silz a Chicago house music pioneer and legend spin on our wedding day. He was certainly a highlight for us and our guests. He definitely made it a night we will always remember!

Scott Silz is a great DJ and a consummate professional. During our planning process, Scott was extremely responsive, setting up requested consultations immediately and spending lots of time with us in his office. He asked questions to understand what we wanted and gave us great advice on everything from sound and lighting to scheduling and planning. On our wedding day, he and his staff did an excellent job from the moment they arrived extra early. Scott was a gracious MC, the dancefloor lighting looked awesome, and Scott's mix of music was perfectly calibrated to keep our friends and family dancing. It was great to have a house music legend DJ our wedding!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Scott from Hot Mix Entertainment is a true professional. I have seen his work ethic first hand and he sets a high bar for others DJs to compare against. He is one of the few that I have seen that truly gets it, and is exactly what a discerning client should look for in an entertainer.
