Third Weddings a Charm?

Music in Motion has now completed ALL THREE Metallo sibling weddings over the course of 8 years. And when i tell you even after E I G H T years the family still remembers and raves over their services, they do.

You truly cannot go wrong with MIM, they’re a quality service with budget friendly pricing. Tim and his team are VERY flexible, understanding, and will take the reigns on a situation if you need them to. We didn’t even make a song list because we knew we could have full trust, and it came together like a dream.

DO NOT WAIT, BOOK NOW!

Tim was great!

Tim Hicks was our DJ for our wedding and he was very professional, friendly, courteous and attentive. Any email sent was promptly answered. He made the officiant, who was a family member, feel very at ease with the microphone and how it all worked. He verified all of the music choices and was very organized, every step of the way. Most importantly, he kept everyone dancing. He was great at switching music, if needed, to get as many people on the dance floor as possible. He checked with us several times during the reception for timing of everything which was greatly appreciated. He was very upbeat and fun to have as our DJ. I would definitely recommend him and Music In Motion as everything went smoothly and perfectly.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
