    Fantastic!!!!!!

    IF I COULD GIVE MORE STARS I WOULD!!! Very professional and the quality of service is amazing!!!Randy and everyone at HDE were amazing at our wedding and very easy to work with!! The MC got the crowd going from the very beginning and The dance floor stayed packed all night!!! There was never a dull moment! Not only did Randy and his team set the vibe right from the start with excellent music, but the dancing in clouds, monogram displaying our names, video montage, and the photo booth were all on point!!! People are still talking about all the fun they had that night!! I would very highly recommend Randy and HDE event group for a wedding or any occasion!! I will be using HDE event group for my future parties!!!!!

    Excellent!!!

    We loved working with Randy and his team at HDE for our wedding reception. Not only did the music have our guests on the dance floor all night, they did a beautiful hedge wall with a customized neon sign! Our guests were taking photos in front of it all night—so many photos and memories we will have forever! And, we got to keep the neon sign which will look awesome in our basement that we are finishing! Our guests keep saying how great our DJ was. This team is professional, experts in what they do, responsive and fun to work with! They are the only team I will use for parties in the future (and recommend to family and friends!)

    Wonderful!!

    My husband and I were recommended HDE by a friend and they did not disappoint!
    We had a hard crowd to please with different ages and ethnicities so our song/genre requests were all over the place but Randy read the crowd and got everybody up and moving!
    We added on the TV's which were nice to watch photos of during dinner, the Photo Booth which was such a hit the entire time and the "dancing on clouds" which made the moment so much more beautiful!
    Music was upbeat, MC was fun and personable, our family was extremely pleased with them and all of our guests had nothing but great feedback on everything, many said it was the best wedding they had ever been to.
    Randy was so easy and fun to work with, he really got us pumped for the wedding and after the day was done, even our wedding venue stopped me and said they had never worked with an entertainment team so friendly, fun and cooperative, highly recommend HDE for any party needs!!!

    Wonderful Experience

    We used HDE at our December wedding and could not have had a better experience. Randy and the team were not only energetic and engaging, they had everybody on the dance floor all night long. In addition to the fantastic music that was played, they also made us a beautiful backdrop for the photo booth. My favorite part of the night was the sparklers that they shot off during our first dance. They also created us an incredible Instagram teaser of our wedding that showed just how much fun we had! HDE went above and beyond and we would absolutely recommend them to anyone who is looking for an entertainment company for any of your party needs.

    Amazing Experience

    Our Wedding was amazing. HDE EVENTS killed it all night long. There was not a dull moment and they kept the party going. Everyone was out on that dance floor having a great time! Chris was a great MC! He jumps right in and is just a part of the family! He even called us out like a fight before our surprise salsa dance and It was awesome! They take in all your requests and they make it happen. They were punctual and professional. PS: dancing on the clouds makes for such a romantic first dance, we loved it! Having them DJ our wedding was the best decision!!

    Amazing, Personal, Professional, & Fun!


    HDE is amazing!! They had my guests on the dance floor all night. At one point I actually thought the dance floor was going to cave because of how alive the crowd was. DJ Randy played all of the right music based on the vibe of the crowd. The MC was also so helpful through-out the night while transitioning from the ceremony to the cocktail hour to the reception. He made sure everything went smoothly while also creating a fun and happy atmosphere. I could not recommend them enough!

    Randy and his team were amazing!!!! They accommodated every request we had and more! They even helped us with a zoom meeting for our guests who couldn’t make it. They really made our wedding day a dream come true and we were beyond appreciative. People could not stop raving about how great DJ Ridd was! We also had a photo booth and they did a phenomenal job as well! Everyone enjoyed it! Everyone of our guests were dancing all night. Thank you HDE! You were amazing and a job well done!

    HDE event group was fantastic to work with from start to finish. They were organized and helped you through the process. The light monogram was a staple to our entire ballroom and looked fantastic in pictures! Randy & Chris really read the dance crowd and play music to get everyone going. We had a great time!

    Wedding Banquet

    The reason we went with Randy and his team was because we had seen them performed at our cousin's wedding day and they were very impressive and fun. But this time with my daughter's wedding, Randy and Johnny had done an incredible show and rock the house down with everyone dancing and having fun. The music and dancing seemed like non-stop and everyone had so much fun. Also I appreciated that Randy showed up on time to set up the venue as planned and got all the equipment and lighting set up with testing done before any guest arrived. I am extremely pleased with Randy and Johnny and would recommend them to anyone who wants an incredible fun and memorable party.

    Incredible Photobooth!

    Randy and his team at HDE brought my photobooth dreams to life! After postponing our wedding due to COVID, we decided to add a photobooth to our reception. I found Randy through the NJ Bride Facebook group - he was incredibly responsive, kind and helpful. He created a hedgewall photobooth with a flower arrangement (that matched our floral designs) and a custom neon sign for us that we got to take home with us that night. It was absolutely beautiful and our guests had so much fun all night. I can't recommend Randy enough - he truly answered all of my questions and worked with us on any changes throughout the entire process. Thank you so much, Randy and team!

    A Night to remember in itself

    Let's start by saying how Randy, his team and Emcee Alex absolutely blew the roof off of Season's catering at my wedding. I've been to plenty of weddings, as I have a huge family - typically I would say 60-70% of the crowd would come out to dance. At my wedding - it was a different story. Randy had all the guests hyped from the get-go setting the mood for the night. I would say about 90-95% of the 270+ crowd was on the floor as it was packed. The photo booth, backdrop and lighting was on point. They went above and beyond their limitations with extra photos and video - to which I had my own videographer and photographer. Contract phase - simple, easy, responsive. Randy was extremely responsive and most of all listened to our requests in choice of music. Backdrop design was awesome - loved it! I still have guests a month later saying how awesome the wedding was. All thanks to HDE! Check out his video on HDE's Facebook, it speaks for itself. FIVE STARS Randy keep up the good work!

    Wedding Review

    Randy and his team are beyond incredible they made the entire process of planning our dream wedding so easy. Randy was very resourceful and he knew just what we wanted our wedding night to be. He is really one stop shopping, we got our videography and photographer through him as well. The entire night all of our guests were up dancing . We danced so much some of our guests didn't even want to finish eating dinner, We can't thank HDE enough for making our wedding one to always remember !

    Non-Stop Party

    I actually knew the owner before he began this company and have watched him grow it into a very successful business. I honestly couldn't be happier for him! It was a no-brainier when we were looking for a DJ. HDE was our only choice! Music is Randy's passion and it truly shows. He and my music-loving fiancee are working together to create our vision. Randy's personality and professionalism will provide non-stop dancing and excitement for our upcoming wedding reception and I can't wait!! Don't take my word for it - check out their videos and be prepared to dance all night!

    Over the top service

    Randy and his team exceeded expectations on the night of the event. Simply over the top service! From the music, the lighting, the photo booth and even capturing every moment with photos on the ground and with a drone! HDE Event Group blew away our expectations. Randy was such a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process and he certainly has a stellar team to support his vision. What a spectacular night! Can't thank Randy enough.

    Fantastic experience

    Randy and his crew were amazing! We just had our wedding at the beginning of the month and he listened to all our crazy requests. He was able to accomplish quick changes in songs for surprises even to the groom. We had nothing to worry about the day of the wedding and really got to dance the night away. I would recommend to any couple getting married and wanting to have a blast!

    Amazing! can’t recommend HDE enough!

    Randy and his crew were absolutely amazing! We were referred to HDE by someone who saw them do a wedding at our venue. They said the dance floor was packed and the energy was amazing!! This was so true for our wedding! We found them online and were really impressed by all of their videos. Randy came out of his way to meet us down in Monmouth County for a consultation which was really awesome. He made us feel reassured and confident that everything was in good hands!! We went for the dancing on clouds, co2 smoke and cannons, monogram, ceremony music and awesome uplighting. Our dance floor was packed and everyone is still talking about how amazing the music and all of the extras were!! I would use them again and again!!! Thank you Randy!

    Best night of our lives

    Randy was phenomenal. Friendly, caring and accommodating from email #1 all the way up to the day of our wedding. Very responsive and answered every question while laying to rest any concern we had. We explained we wanted a party/club like atmosphere during dance sets at our reception and the HDE team delivered big time! Everyone was up dancing all night long having a blast. The MC was absolutely amazing as well! It was honestly the best night of our lives and wouldn’t have been the same without HDE. Randy and his crew really know how to deliver a great party! If I ever needed DJ services in the future or anyone every asked for a recommendation, HDE would be my go to company 100%

We can’t thank HDE event group enough for everything he did . We will definitely be using them for our next event .

    Excellent!

    Randy was incredible from the first email I sent to him, Always very attentive, flexible and professional.
    We had the wedding party with him and was better than we expected. We didn't want the guests to get bored just dancing all night, we made some special requests for types of music and everything was amazing!!!
    It was a very beautiful party where music was decisive for that we all have a good time, It was unforgettable, everything was perfect and I thank Randy for the excellent job he did, 5 stars is the minimum he deserves!!

    We had the most amazing experience working with HDE Event Group! From the initial meeting and all the way up to our wedding day, Randy was extremely thorough and accommodating with our every request. Their professionalism and expert experience in the industry is what made our event the success it was. We didn’t leave the dance floor the entire night. I wish we could relive every moment.

    Thank you guys for giving us the best wedding experience ever!!! We couldn’t have imagined a better night. We love you!!

    We hired Randy and his crew for our wedding on August 10th. Best decision ever- hands down! I knew from the very start of wedding planning, that choosing the perfect DJ was number one on my list. Let’s be for real- the DJ sets the mood for your whole wedding night! I knew right away, after sitting down for coffee with Randy, and going over his amazing add ons, that HDE event group was the dj of our dreams!! Randy was nothing but helpful, flexible and professional up to the day of our wedding. My husband and I wanted a party and Randy delivered. My guests can’t stop talking about the cannons and the whole club atmosphere we had. We literally danced the night away! If you’re looking for that something extra/wow factor at your wedding- HDE event group is the dj for you!! Thank you again Randy for going above and beyond. You exceeded our expectations!! We had the best night of our lives!
