Don’t think—just hire.

It’s a mystery that Matt is a wedding DJ. He could genuinely be playing shows in Ibiza. (If you aren’t familiar with what that means, he’s among the best.)

My two strengths in life are loving music and being a comprehensive planner, which is why my wife put me in charge of the music for our wedding. As an audiophile and music production hobbyist, I would not settle for anything other than the best. I was even in contact with another DJ group before Matt, but I fired them after hearing samples from their sets. Then I found Matt.

Matt was not only immediately perceptive of my vision for our event, but he was also highly professional and consultative. He had ideas and brought passion and excitement.

Matt was one of the MAIN reasons why our wedding was incredible. We had many guests compliment him on how incredible of a job he did.

Last note with a true story: at the end of the night, at 11:45, all of our guests, including some older ones, were still on the dance floor. When we HAD to end the night, our guests STARTED CHANTING, “ONE MORE SONG!” I have been to dozens of weddings, and that has NEVER happened. Matt just smiled and threw another fantastic encore song, and we ended the night with the highest of highs.

Long review short: hire Matt immediately. He’s 1000% worth it and will help make your wedding the perfect event you want. We cannot thank Matt enough and he deserves all the praise!

PHENOMENAL!! 1000/10 would recommend him.

Matt did an absolutely PHENOMENAL job at DJing our wedding last weekend. As a backstory, my now (husband) and I met at EDC Orlando and have a passion to go to EDM music festivals throughout the year. We knew planning our wedding that we would need a DJ who catered to our music interests and didn't just play the standard/typical wedding DJ music because that is not the type of music my partner and I like. Our whole wedding was themed around the music festivals that we've attended, and we put the most time/effort into curating an amazing playlist, precessional music, and first dance.

My partner and I told ourselves that the most important part of our wedding is that it's a wonderful party, and that we love the music the most. Matt did incredible with dealing with our many specific requests, from sending specific files via sound cloud for our entrances and also remixes that my partner created. Also, my partner is a DJ himself and thought that Matt did absolutely amazing with curating with our playlist. Even though we knew not all our guests were going to be fully into the EDM music, everyone at one point was on the dance floor, which was absolutely amazing. We also invested in the CO2 cannons, and I'll never forget one of my bridesmaids getting sprayed with it, which will be an amazing image I'll never forget. Thank you Matt for giving us such an incredible time and professionalism! 10000/10 would recommend him!

Butterworth events made our wedding!

Matt Butterworth and Butterworth Events made our wedding so special! He took time to meet us beforehand to learn the vision we had for our wedding. He listened with absolute kindness. He mastered the music and vibes for our beach ceremony + our fun reception to follow. Our guests raved about how much fun they had!
PS. We used the cold sparklers for our first dance and it was absolutely epic!

Oh What a Night !!!

I don’t think we could’ve picked a better DJ! Matt is very professional and definitely hands on during the entire event. He was very thorough when going over details prior to the event and whatever issues popped up at the reception he stepped in and handled it to make sure we were taken care of. He worked with all our vendors to make sure everything was on time and on point. He can do it all! The music selection was amazing, and we were literally on the dance floor all night long. Prior to our BIG day we did a finals consultation with Matt and went over all the details of exactly what we were looking for. He made it happen. All I can say is wow!! From the phone calls, organizing and planning until the day of the event it was amazing to know we could relax and enjoy our day. We also booked some extras that just put the event over the top. Cold Sparklers and low-lying fog were absolutely the coolest thing ever. It looked like we were dancing on a cloud during our first dance. The sparklers were used during our grand entrance, and it just made a great day even better. We highly recommend Matt and his company for any event. You won't be disappointed. Thank You Ultra Mix for everything you did for us.

Not just another number

When searching for a DJ, it felt like we were just another number to most companies out there. With Ultra Mix, he actually made it feel like our Wedding was special. Totally worth the rate with their attention to detail. Don't miss out on having the best night possible.

Seriously underrated team

You are totally missing out if you don't have Ultra Mix at your Wedding or Event. These guys are on top of everything and SO professional yet are cool to work with. The planning for the music was so easy. They respond fast. I'd give them a million stars if I could. Our guests had an amazing time and so did we. The effects felt like we were on top of the world. Don't wait, book them!

dancing all nightt

Our DJ Matt truly knows how to read a crowd and keep the party going. Our wedding reception was a blast, and he played all the hits that had everyone dancing and singing along. He was also fantastic at incorporating our special requests and personalizing the music to reflect our unique style. He was an absolute pleasure to work with, and we wouldn't hesitate to hire Matt again for future events. Thank you for making our wedding day unforgettable!
