Go DJ, that's my DJ!!!
From the moment the music started, he knew exactly how to keep the party going. His personality brought laughter, his professionalism kept everything flowing, and his ability to read the crowd had us jamming all night long! He didn’t just play music—he created an EXPERIENCE!
We are so grateful for the passion and effort he put into making our special day so much fun. He kept the energy high, the smiles big, and the dance floor FULL! Our wedding was truly a celebration of love, laughter, and GREAT music! 🎉❤️🎶
Thank you for helping make our Wedding of Love Reunited a night we will never forget! 🦋💙
Dj hype is a legend!
I specifically asked him to really lean into our “cowboy up” theme, and he absolutely delivered. He understood the vision and made it so much fun. He kept the dance floor popping ALL night, and our guests had the best time. The energy was exactly what we wanted, and he did an amazing job keeping everyone involved and entertained.
Our wedding was honestly so much fun, and DJ Hype played a huge part in making it that way. He went above and beyond, and we are so thankful we chose him for our wedding. I truly can’t say enough good things about him or recommend him enough!
Worth every penny
Marcus was amazing!
The music was fantastic, the energy never dropped, and our guests had an amazing time. He was professional, personable, entertaining, and just genuinely wonderful to work with. DJ Hype helped turn our wedding into a party we will never forget. We would recommend Hype Entertainment over and over again!
Best dj around
What stands out the most to me, goes beyond his skill as a DJ. Prior to walking down the aisle, I was a nervous mess and DJ Hype recognized this, pulled me aside and started up conversation with me to help distract me from all the emotions, ultimately calming my nerves altogether! I can’t recommend DJ Hype more!!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing!
Marcus made everything so easy from the start. He listened to what we wanted, kept everyone on the dance floor all night, and even got out there to teach the dances. His energy is contagious, and he knows exactly how to get people involved and having fun.
Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had! If you want a DJ who truly cares and knows how to throw an amazing party, DJ Hype is the one. Thanks, Marcus, for making our wedding reception unforgettable!
Best Wedding DJ EVER
The ceremony was absolutely perfect, even to last second changes, he was on it with a smile on his face and a “no problem” after that!
The reception….complete BANGER! He had all of our guests dancing the whole night! He took song requests from guests and mashed up songs. He threw a plot twist and let me (bride) get behind the turn tables!
I would recommend DJ Hype to EVERYONE I know!
We are SO glad we chose and trusted DJ Hype!

Please use Hype Entertainment! They DJ'd a wedding at our venue last weekend and we're wonderful. We get to see lots of DJ's. If you want the best you've found it!!!
What an amazing DJ company. DJ Hype of Hype Entertainment delivers every single time with no equipment failures, follows the timeline precisely without questioning how it's ran or trying to push his agenda because he knows it's all about the couple or the client and delivering amazing music based on their preferences. He gets guests dancing that you would never see dancing for example a couples grandmother has been seen on the dance floor at many of his couple's weddings. I have seen too many times a DJ make the wedding all about themselves and what he wants to play but not this top notch DJ. His equipment is top notch and his DJ abilities are top notch. He keeps the dance floor full all night long and all of my couples complement him every single time. You can't go wrong with DJ Hype for your wedding or event because he is simply the best. Again, he will deliver every single time with great results and you will be 100% satisfied with his DJ'ing and MC'ing abilities.
DJ Hype is my number one DJ recommendation to EVERY bride!!!! His ease and professionalism in every situation is beyond any I have ever seen. His clients are his number one priority at all times. Hands down the BEST DJ in the industry!!!!
