Best dj ever!

Tim was the DJ for our anniversary party and he definitely helped make a Great night. He played almost every song on our list and at the right times to keep the party going. He didn't talk a lot just kept playing the music. The dance floor always had people dancing. He was always available during the planning stage and responded almost immediately every time I emailed him. My family and I are trying to come up with another party to host just because we had so much fun. I would highly recommend Music in Motion for any event.

Beyond what we expected!

Our DJ, Riley, went above and beyond for our special day! Tim was also incredibly responsive and accommodating. Our guests have reached out saying how the playlist was on point, the song transitions were stellar and Riley was so much fun to be around! He kept the energy going and we truly could not have asked for a better experience. Getting everything set up was seamless as well which is a HUGE plus! 10/10 would recommend to anyone in search of a DJ! Ask for Riley!

We LOVE Tim! Book him now!

We hired Tim as our wedding DJ and truly couldn’t have asked for anything better! From the very beginning, he was the most responsive vendor we worked with. He checked in regularly before the big day, communicated clearly, and made the whole process feel so easy. Oh, and he is seriously the most friendly human!
He worked seamlessly with our day-of coordinator, and when the wedding day arrived, everything was smooth sailing. You can tell he has this down to a science; in the best way possible!! The music, the transitions, the energy… all flawless.
We had so many guests come up to us saying it was the best DJ/music they’ve ever experienced at a wedding. That says everything! And I’m so happy we went with the uplighting—seriously, it made all the difference for the vibe and tied the whole night together.
If you’re considering Tim, do yourself a favor and book him. He made our night unforgettable!

Jameson Wedding DJ Review

We heard of this company through a friend and are so glad we used them! JD was nothing less than amazing! He was very professional and was great with keeping the dance floor crowded the entire night. I will be telling all of my friends that are getting married about this company!

Made our wedding that much more fun!

From the beginning was very receptive to any changes or questions that we had pre-wedding. As we continued up to the wedding, he reached out to verify how things were going and get final confirmations. During the ceremony kept everything flowing smoothly, but also kept the energy up and going. Many of our guests were saying how much fun they had.

Incredible Experience with Music In Motion

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Music in Motion. They were incredibly responsive and helpful before my event. The DJ, Rick, even called me specifically to make sure he knew the type of music and vibes we were going for. They are wonderful people, and Rick made my mom’s surprise 60th birthday party an absolute blast. I would highly recommend using Music in Motion for your event!!
