Karl went above and beyond for us every step of the way! I wanted a faux boxwood wall for our photobooth and he made one for us. I was also able to use my own designs for the photobooth so that it matched the rest of our wedding. Last minute we found out some close family couldn't come and Karl recorded and edited a video of our ceremony and had it to us incredibly quickly. We really put off our music selections but DJ Ben was able to work with us just a few days before the wedding and everything came out perfectly.

As a wedding planner with CCE Weddings, I have the opportunity to work with many DJs, and AAM Entertainment truly stands out as a top-tier professional. From planning to execution, their level of organization, communication, and overall professionalism makes every event run smoothly.

They did an excellent job reading the crowd, blending the couple’s music preferences with guest energy, and creating an atmosphere that guests of all ages enjoyed.

HiMotive Entertainment & Photobooth did a great job keeping our wedding reception fun and upbeat. While their communication was a bit delayed leading up to the event, they were ultimately effective in executing on the day-of. The DJ kept the party going all night with a good song selection, though they did play 3 Taylor Swift songs in a row at the start, which we would have preferred more variety. The MC's ad-libs got a little overbearing at times, but overall they did a nice job sticking to the schedule and making important announcements. We'd recommend HiMotive to other couples looking for an energetic DJ.

We went with the approach of choosing the major songs and providing general recommendations around genres and let the expert handle the rest. We had multiple guests tell us they could not stop dancing or singing along the entire night. We had every age group on the dance floor. If it’s any indication - my photographer had to remind me a few times to stop bouncing around so she could get some good still shots. In our opinion, it doesn’t get any better than DJ Krystyle.

We received lots of compliments about our wedding, but our DJ was hands down the most complimented part. Like by a lot. I remember someone said “Lily. Your DJ is 100 out of 10.” and our venue coordinator (who has seen a lot of weddings) was like “Seriously, where did you find this guy?” and said they need to add him to their list of recommended DJs. I also had multiple guests ask if he was single… From the ceremony music and microphones, to the cocktail hour musical ambiance, to the first dance and speeches, Obehi was locked in and working the room to make sure everything went smoothly and ensure everyone was having a great time. He had all kinds of fancy equipment and was there early with bells on to get it all set up. It was all seamless with zero hiccups. He was out on the dance floor hyping people up, dancing, and just giving 110% all night long. Obehi is one heck of a DJ. I saw family members who I haven’t seen crack a smile in a decade busting moves on the dance floor. Obehi gets the people going. There’s no doubt about that. That being said, he’s also a really lovely human and we loved having him there as a part of our wedding. You can tell he loves what he does and loves people. He was genuine, warm, and kind every step of the way. He met with us a few weeks before the wedding and made us feel like it was his life’s purpose to get every detail perfect for us. And he delivered 1000%. Best choice we made for our wedding. Worth every single penny!!!

A Southeast powerhouse band performing with 9 electrifying members featuring a team of phenomenal vocalists and a blazing horn section, they deliver high-octane performances that seamlessly blend Top 40 hits, R&B classics, Motown grooves, and soulful anthems.

I can’t say enough amazing things about The Sound! They truly made our wedding night unforgettable. From the first song to the very last encore, they brought an incredible energy that kept every single guest on the dance floor. People are still raving about how much fun they had! The vocalists were phenomenal, the horn section was absolutely on fire, and the entire band sounded amazing together. They played the perfect mix of hits—something for everyone—and somehow made every song feel personal to our night. Beyond the music, they were wonderful to work with: professional, responsive, and so kind throughout the entire planning process. I never had to worry about a single thing. If you want a band that will turn your wedding into the best party ever, this is the one. I wish we could relive that night all over again!
