Hype Rhythm brings energy and fun to any event!

We couldn't stay off the dance floor because of how amazing Hype Rhythm was! Nick was so kind, accommodating, and organized during the planning phase. The day of the wedding, all the music and microphones worked perfectly. But the dancing was the highlight. Nick brought the energy, and the live drummer and saxophone were unforgettable additions that brought the music to the next level. Our dance floor was packed the whole night. Even our older guests came out to dance! I also think it's so cool that Hype will adapt to whatever energy level you desire or musical preferences you have. Highly recommend Hype Rhythm and the live instruments!

The Perfect Party!

Cannot say enough wonderful things about Nick and his team. From the moment I reached out to him through the entire wedding and post-wedding process, they were incredible. He was always in touch and available to answer any questions we had and went above a beyond in all aspects. He had amazing recommendations for lighting and both he and the guitarist he brought in, Trevor, was unreal. His entire team is top notch and all of our wedding guests were having a blast on the dance floor and could not stop talking about how they were exhausted from dancing but couldn’t stop because he kept playing great songs. 10/10 would recommend!

Book them immediately

WOW! If you are looking for all of your guests to be on the dance floor all night -- this is the way to go!! Nick and Chris are absolutely incredible. Our main goal was for everyone to leave our wedding having had FUN, and a HUGE factor in this was booking with Hype Rhythm. Our family and friends can't stop talking about how amazing they were, and neither can we!! They are so unique; the perfect combination of the songs you know and love with the energy of live music! They are able to read the vibe of your guests and somehow play the perfect combination of jams! (Along with accommodating any special requests you might have!) We had truly the best night of our lives and felt like we made new friends in Nick and Chris. BOOK THEM!!!

Fantastic DJ, awesome dance party.

Man. Hype Rhythm was awesome from start to finish. They were recommended to us by our wedding photographers. Nick was super professional and easy to work with by phone and via shared online playlists. Nick provided amplified sound for our officiant as well as all musical cues during our ceremony and never missed a beat. He effortlessly hosted throughout our cocktail hour, dinner and toasts. After dinner the dance floor was packed. The performance by Nick and drummer Chris was extremely hype (Chris is beastly on the drum kit.) Keep in mind this is all in context of Nick injuring his leg - he still showed up and nailed it. Highly recommend Hype Rhythm.

Book them now!

HANDS DOWN BEST DRUMMER AND DJ! My family and friends have been to a LARGE amount of weddings and I had multiple people say "they were one of the best DJS they have ever had and the drummer was out of this world along with the DJ".

We originally found Hype Rhythm at my best friend's wedding. Let's just say that my now husband NEVER dances. He sits in the corner and watches people. At my best friend's wedding he danced the whole time. I told them after the wedding they were hired for our wedding. A year later at our's my husband was on stage with me dancing and singing. The dance floor was NEVER empty. They are both so talented at what they do and know exactly how to keep a party going that includes every age group. Grandparents and young kids were out there dancing almost the whole time. Probably the best part of the wedding included them. BOOK THEM NOW ! YOU WON'T REGRET IT!

HIGHLY recommend Hype Rhythm!

When I first started planning my wedding, I really wanted to hire a band to play, but once we realized how much that would cost, we started looking at other options. We stumbled upon Hype Rhythm’s DJ/Drummer duo and it was the PERFECT option for us! Nick and his drummer were so much fun and had the dance floor packed all night! Their energy was just the best and we are so happy we hired them. HIGHLY recommend!!!!

Chris is crazy talented and together they make the perfect duo. They made our wedding into the most fun party and by the end of the night every guest was commenting on their amazing dynamic and how fun it was. Do yourself and favor and look no further, these are your guys!

Perfection

Looking for a DJ who will read the room and have everyone dancing all night, not taking any breaks?! Hype Rhythm is IT. Nick played so many good songs, mixes, and even played Polish songs for our guests. His equipment is top of the line and I’m not exaggerating, we had soooo many people compliment our choice and his talent. I’ve had plenty of people ask for his information already too. Nick was so kind, worked with us through the pandemic, and listened to our wants/needs/etc. He played every song we wanted at the perfect time. I could go on. He KILLED it and because of him, the party was one to remember for us and our guests. Thank you Nick!! -The Braden’s

So much build up and so much pay off!

We originally booked DJ Nick (@ Nite) for our original wedding date back in June of 2020. We had been planning since April of 2019, had to postpone our 2020 date and move it to 2021. Hype Rhythm worked with us every step of the way and DJ Nick helped make our day awesome! He played great music, kept people on their feet dancing, and kept the atmosphere live and the party moving! I can’t recommend using Hype Rhythm enough!

The best dj/drummer experience ever

Nick and his Drummer are simply amazing and so impressive! Nick is the best DJ in the Texas area in my opinion and so unique. If you are looking for the “band type” experience but want all different kind of music playing at your ceremony and reception Hype Rhythm is for you! He is affordable and crowd pleasing and all guests love him. I received so many compliments about how amazing the music was and the dance floor was never empty thanks to them!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
