Martin from Active DJ was amazing! None of our guests (all 165 of them) wanted to get off the dance floor! It was packed and we actually had to get on the speaker to tell people where to go next after the reception because no one was leaving the floor LOL. He was a huge part of helping the timeline and event run smoothly. The speeches and dances couldn't have went better ! He was very helpful in the meetings before hand and was quick to answer though email when I had a question. Look no further - Martin from Active is IT!Active DJ Entertainment's reply:
Thanks so much for taking the time to write a review! It was truly a pleasure to be a part of your wedding. I only wish we'd had time to dance longer!
Wishing you guys all the best!! -

Katie Sent on 05/13/2025Shawn Booth from Active DJ is the BEST!
If you are in need of a DJ get in touch with Shawn! He is the best. He did my wedding a couple weeks ago and he was the absolute best! He had us all on the dance floor. He is so easy to work with, responds quick, helpful with music selection if you are unsure, and prompt. You wont think twice if you book him!

Alison Sent on 05/12/20255 stars for Shawn!!! ⭐️
We worked with Active Entertainment for our wedding at 128 South, and our DJ Shawn was absolutely incredible. He handled everything—ceremony music, mics for the officiant and readings, cocktail hour, speeches, dancing, lighting, and MCing—and did it all flawlessly.
Shawn totally understood our vibe. He followed our must-play and do-not-play lists to a tee and added his own creative touches and fun mixes that fit perfectly. He kept the energy up all night. The dance floor was packed the entire time—people didn’t want to leave! Our friends & family are still talking about how amazing the music was.
There were so many special moments, but one standout was that Shawn filmed our private last dance and sent it to us after the wedding. It was such a thoughtful surprise and something we’ll treasure forever.
We can’t recommend Active Entertainment enough. Truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding and our day would not have been as amazing without Shawn!Active DJ Entertainment's reply:
This is such an awesome recap—thank you! Shawn is going to be thrilled to hear how much you appreciated everything he brought to the day. From nailing the vibe to capturing that private last dance (seriously, how sweet is that?), it sounds like it all came together just right. We’re so glad we could be part of it, and we’re grateful for your kind words. Wishing you both all the best in this next chapter! -

Shawn was the DJ for our March wedding and he was absolutely awesome to work with! We met with him on zoom prior to the wedding weekend and discussed our preferences and ceremony/ reception style but ultimately we said do what you feel the crowd likes. We wanted a fun and full dance floor - Shawn did just that! The ceremony was beautiful with seamless music transitions and the dance floor during the reception was packed all night. Thank you for making our wedding so fun! -

We hired Martin for our wedding on Jan 18, 2025 and we couldn’t be happier with his service. From our first consultation, I told Martin I was looking for a DJ that would match our bright, disco, festival feel wedding day, and he completely understood the assignment.
His set up for our officiant was very loud and clear and everyone was able to hear efficiently. Then to the cocktail hour & reception, he exceeded my expectations. He made recommendations that I would have never thought about, with lighting, the set up, just everything he did was over the top amazing.
We also ended up going with the CO2 machine that wow'd our guests as well as booking a saxophone player that knew the beats to every song we requested.
Martin is extremely professional and truly cares about his couples.
He kept the energy high the entire night and all of our guest gave us so many compliments about him.
If you’re looking for a DJ, I highly recommend Active Entertainment—they truly helped make our wedding day unforgettable!
Thank you again for everything!

Martin from Active Entertainment was truly incredible! Right from the start, he took the time to get what we wanted and delivered the perfect mix of nostalgic hits and modern favorites that kept everyone dancing all night. The vibe he created captured our personalities, blending '90s and mid-2000s classics with just the right amount of current hits. His energy, professionalism, and ability to read the crowd made our wedding reception unforgettable—we still have friends talking about how perfectly the music fit us. If you’re looking for a DJ who really goes above and beyond, Martin is your guy. Thank you, Martin, for making our day so amazing!Active DJ Entertainment's reply:

Martin was exactly what we were looking for to DJ our wedding at Wrightsville Manor! From the initial call, he was so easygoing and friendly to talk to and made everything from music choices to emceeing ideas seem so easy for us to choose. His recommendations were on point when we needed some guidance for special songs like the first ceremony song or first dance songs. We gave him some short Spotify playlists to work with for a general idea of what we wanted at each part of the wedding, and he ran with that and every song was a hit. The transitions between songs on the dance floor were perfect and there was NEVER any of the awkward empty dance floor moments because he kept the party going. We had so many comments from friends and family about how good the music was and how “we” did so well with all of the choices - jokes on them, Martin did most of that work! Highly recommend for weddings, thanks so much! -

I got married this past weekend and we were SO happy with our DJ, Mike! Mike was so sweet and fun to work with and he really took the time to listen to our music vision. He played all our favorite songs and kept the dance floor full! He is great at catering to all generations and all of our guests were raving about the music. Active DJ is super reliable and responsive, and they do their best to match you with a DJ best fit for your event and vision. Highly recommend! -

Kathryn Sent on 06/29/2024Best DJ ever!
Mike was a rockstar! From being able to have a meeting with him over zoom a few days before to the end of the night, Mike killed it!! Our guests kept coming up to us asking where we found him and saying how great he was. He had little kids break dancing to my parents busting a move. Our dance floor was full the whole night! The next morning all of our family and friends said it was best wedding/ dj they had ever been to.
Thanks again!

10/10 Do yourself a favor and choose Martin with Active DJ! He knows how to get the party started and keep the party going all night long. He was so helpful throughout the planning process and gave great song options. If you're able, I highly recommend adding the Jukebox and Upgraded DJ Booth. The Jukebox was a hit with our guests during cocktail hour as anyone is able to choose any song they want to play. The Upgraded DJ Booth really elevated the look of our reception space. Everyone had such a fun time dancing the night away. I can't recommend Martin enough! -

We hired Martin as the DJ for our wedding and were extremely happy with how everything went! He went above and beyond to accommodate the more complicated aspects of our wedding day and made sure everything ran smoothly and we had nothing to worry about. His song selections during the reception were on point and despite a good number of our older guests leaving early, he was able to keep the small remaining group of us on the dance floor until the very end and it was a blast. He is super professional, punctual, communicative, helpful, and an all-around awesome guy! 10/10 recommend Martin or any of the other guys at Active for your wedding, you will not regret it!!Active DJ Entertainment's reply:

Kea G. Sent on 08/07/2023The best dj
We got so much more than a DJ working with Active Entertainment and DJ Mike Newkirk for our day! We used Mike for ceremony music and mics, cocktail hour music, and the reception. From the ceremony to the reception, Mike's talent and energy brought an unforgettable entertainment experience that surpassed all expectations.
Despite having a smaller, intimate wedding, we knew we wanted the reception to turn into an epic dance party, and Mike delivered on that and more! He had the dance floor packed all night, making it the heart of the celebration.
Mike infused the entire evening with infectious energy and a well-crafted music mix that kept the vibe alive. It felt like we had a live performance tailored to our tastes, making the night truly exceptional.
The cocktail hour and dinner music were equally impressive, creating the perfect ambiance. Mike took our requests and favorite artists into account, curating a playlist that perfectly matched the mood and atmosphere we wanted.
We also appreciated the planning process offered by Active Entertainment. We were able to make song requests ahead of time through online forms and had a helpful planning meeting with Mike about our vision for the evening.
Thank you, Mike, and Active Entertainment, for making our wedding night an absolute blast and an experience we'll cherish for a lifetime!Active DJ Entertainment's reply:
Thanks so much for your review, Kea! We might get this one framed 😊.

SHAWN 👏 The decision to hire Active DJ after speaking with Martin was so easy and absolutely the best one we could’ve made! Martin, after hearing about what we had in mind, recommended Shawn for our wedding (6.15.23). Shawn went above and beyond to give us the most amazing day. He dedicated time to go over our wants, our concerns, and so many questions. He was patient, kind, knowledgeable and just made the whole process a fun one. He worked with not only us, but also our family for a surprise performance that made our reception fantastic!! Shawn did it all with ease and we couldn’t have loved him more. That includes our guests who couldn’t stop raving about him as well! No question - Active DJ Entertainment is the choice and Shawn is your DJ!Active DJ Entertainment's reply:
Thanks so much for the kind words, Chelsey! It was truly a pleasure being a part of your wedding! Hope we get to be there for some anniversary parties in the future!

Hiring Active DJ was the best decision we made for our wedding in Calabash, NC. Kaleb was absolutely AMAZING at incorporating both mine and my husbands different tastes in music (Country and EDM) throughout the night and definitely kept the dance floor full the entire night. Most importantly both Kaleb and Martin were extremely easy to chat with and very prompt with their communication. 1000% recommend Active DJ if you're getting married in the Wilmington/Calabash NC area!Active DJ Entertainment's reply:
Thanks so much for the review, Kyley! Kaleb is definitely one of the best, and we're proud to have him on the team. Wishing you guys all the best! -

DJ Shawn Booth did an awesome job for our wedding! The dance floor stayed packed! Shawn was able to sprinkle in some old hits to keep the older crowd interested and kept the dance tunes coming for the rest of us. We had an absolute blast! Active DJ entertainment also provided lights for during the reception and it was the perfect touch to the dance floor!
Shawn also set up sound for the ceremony and cocktail hour. The ceremony was at the perfect volume and Shawn did great with our song selection!
Active DJ entertainment does a great job of keeping your song choices organized and makes it easy to make a must play list. I would definitely recommend to anyone needing a DJ! They have some awesome packages and make it very customizable.Active DJ Entertainment's reply:

Mike Newkirk was our DJ for our wedding at Airlie Gardens and he did a phenomenal job! We really didn't know what to give him for examples of music we wanted but he worked his magic. My biggest fear was that the different languages would separate our crowds and that's what we really wanted to avoid. He did a great job mixing Spanish and English music for both of our families and really kept the party going the whole time! All of our guests even told us you know it was a good DJ when people were on the dance floor the entire time despite the extreme heat, humidity and bugs at our outdoor wedding. We would recommend him 1000 times to everyone! Besides being a great DJ he was very personable and professional too! My whole experience with this company was absolutely amazing! 10/10 recommend!!!Active DJ Entertainment's reply:

Martin was an absolute breeze to work with and is soo talented!!! Martin's music was seriously the best music we've EVER experienced at a wedding (and that's including bands 😉) and we never wanted it to end!! We had guests tell us they were sore the next few days from all the dancing and even 2 months later, we still have people saying it was the best dancefloor ever. Martin asked all the right questions, answered our questions, gave us all the right suggestions, and was just fun to work with as well. He even had all my grandparents on the dancefloor the entire time, dancing to our favorite high school/college songs! We cannot recommend Martin at Active DJ enough and could not have DREAMED of a better DJ!!
