Easter Weekend Wedding 2024

DJ Marcus Hype truly made our wedding unforgettable. From the moment the music started, he had everyone on their feet, dancing and having the time of their lives. His music selection was spot-on, catering to every guest and keeping the energy high throughout the night.

Not only did DJ Marcus Hype keep the party going, but he was also a pleasure to work with leading up to the event. He was professional, courteous, and truly listened to our preferences, making sure to incorporate our favorite songs into the playlist.

Multiple guests complimented us on our choice of DJ, with many mentioning how he was one of the best they've seen at a wedding. DJ Marcus Hype more than exceeded our expectations, and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking to elevate their event with an incredible soundtrack. Thank you, DJ Marcus Hype, for making our special day even more magical!

Wedding reception

We had heard so many great things about Marcus (from literally all our vendors!) and it was easy to see why. From start to finish of the entire process, Marcus was great. He answered our many questions and was incredibly responsive to emails. As an MC, he kept the atmosphere exciting but also smooth and organized, from giving bridal party introductions to announcing time for toasts to making the transition to dancing, it all flowed so naturally. Marcus gave us a questionnaire in advance which allowed us to select the types of songs we liked and special requests (like our request for surprising the guests with Gangnam style for the transition from dinner to dancing). Another of our friends really enjoyed getting picked by Marcus to play the 'air guitar' during one of the songs as well. We decided to also use his services for Uplighting, which was beautiful and really enhanced the evening at the Chrysler. His photobooth was another highlight of the evening, and as the couple, we got copies of all the photos afterwards. He allowed us to customize the photo templates as well. Overall, we would 100% recommend Marcus to anyone!!

Our dj for two weddings

We chose Marcus Matthews (DJ Hype) for both of our daughter's weddings. We thought he did such a great job with the first one that we didn't hesitate to hire him again for the second. We had just an awesome experience with him at both weddings. Super easy to get along with, great communicator, & provided just a fantastic service. He kept things running on schedule, brought people out of their shells, and brought so much fun to the event...he was just an integral part of our wedding experience, both times. We would not think to hire anyone else if we ever need a DJ at a future event. Thank you Marcus!

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.
