Our Wedding Stories: A Mother of the Bride’s Shout-Out to Our Awesome DJ! 🎧❤️
Marcus has been our friend for over 25 years, and he’s been our go-to for every special family event. In fact, he’s the one we plan our dates around because he’s just THAT good!
He’s so much more than DJ Hype to us… he’s family! He always delivers the most incredible, unforgettable experiences, and now, after having two daughters get married just five months apart, I can say without a doubt… MARCUS BRINGS THE HYPE!! 🔥🎉
Marcus, we hope you know just how much you mean to our family. We are beyond grateful for the incredible experiences, energy, and unforgettable vibes you bring to every event. You have a special way of making every celebration extraordinary, and we are so thankful to have had you be part of so many of our family’s most precious memories.
25+ years of friendship, countless memories, and two weddings later… we are FOREVER grateful for you!
You truly are the BEST, Marcus! ❤️🙌

I cannot say enough wonderful things about our DJ Marcus at my daughter’s wedding! From beginning to end, he was absolutely fantastic! His cheerful personality, friendliness, and incredible energy helped make the entire celebration unforgettable. He didn’t just play music he created an atmosphere that made everyone want to celebrate, dance, and have the best time! We were having issues with another vendor, and there was some tension at the wedding. Marcus lighten the mood and kept smiling, which saved our day!
He truly helped make our daughter’s special day everything we hoped it would be and more!
As a mother of four daughters, I can honestly say that I would be thrilled to have Marcus DJ my other three daughters’ weddings! That alone should tell you how highly I think of him!
**If you’re looking for a DJ who brings great music, positive energy, and a genuine love for what he does, look no further! Highly recommend!**

One of the things we wanted most for our wedding was for our dance floor to be packed all night - and that is exactly what DJ Hype was able to do for us! He had the perfect set lis...
t for all ages, and had our dance floor raving all night with young adults, parents, and even grandparents! He made our night so special with his enthusiasm and energy and we could not be any more satisfied. We have had so many of our friends & family tell us how much fun they had at our wedding and how they “hadn’t danced that much since college”, and that’s all a tribute to how great DJ Hype was. In addition, he fully set up the microphone and speakers for our ceremony (we battled 20mph winds on the beach and the sound came out great), mc’d our wedding reception, and gave great introductions to the best man/maid of honor before their speeches. One of the biggest compliments we can give is that although we met him for the first time on our wedding day, it felt like we had one of our best friends as our DJ for the night. He absolutely brought the energy, but he is also very sweet, thoughtful, friendly and caring. He truly gave us one of the best nights of our lives and we could not be more grateful.

He was playing bangers all night and multiple people have reached out to tell me how amazing DJ Hype is! He even let me DJ for a song which was a highlight of my night! He played a huge role in ensuring we had minimum stress on our wedding day!
What stands out the most to me, goes beyond his skill as a DJ. Prior to walking down the aisle, I was a nervous mess and DJ Hype recognized this, pulled me aside and started up conversation with me to help distract me from all the emotions, ultimately calming my nerves altogether! I can’t recommend DJ Hype more!!!

Our reception was filled with so much energy, laughter, singing, and nonstop dancing. He was not only an incredible DJ, but he was so much fun to have there and really became part of the celebration. He read the crowd perfectly, kept the energy HIGH, and made sure there was never an empty dance floor—which was exactly what we wanted!
We had such a blast, and our guests are STILL talking about how much fun the reception was. If you want a DJ who will get your guests up, keep them moving, and make your wedding an absolute party, look no further!
Thank you for making our wedding celebration so much fun and giving us a night we will never forget. You absolutely crushed it! 🎉🎶🍾💃🕺

If you’re looking for a DJ, book DJ Hype! I’ve known Marcus for over 10 years, so when we started planning our wedding, the very first thing we did was make sure he was available. ...
We actually picked our wedding date around his schedule because he books up so far in advance!
Marcus made everything so easy from the start. He listened to what we wanted, kept everyone on the dance floor all night, and even got out there to teach the dances. His energy is contagious, and he knows exactly how to get people involved and having fun.
Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had! If you want a DJ who truly cares and knows how to throw an amazing party, DJ Hype is the one. Thanks, Marcus, for making our wedding reception unforgettable!

he time to understand exactly the kind of atmosphere we wanted and executed it perfectly.
The music, transitions, announcements, and overall flow of the evening were seamless. Marcus kept the energy up all night and somehow always knew the perfect song to play next. Our dance floor stayed full, and so many of our guests told us afterward how much fun they had because of the music and atmosphere he created.
One of my favorite moments of the night was when Marcus let me get behind the DJ booth for a bit, which made the experience even more fun and memorable. It’s little moments like that that show how much he genuinely enjoys what he does and wants everyone to have an amazing time.
Beyond being an amazing DJ, Marcus brought such a fun and calming presence to the day. We never had to worry about anything because he had everything under control, allowing us to fully enjoy every moment of our reception.
We truly could not have asked for a better DJ experience and are so grateful to Marcus and DJ Hype for helping make our wedding day so memorable. We would recommend him to absolutely anyone looking for a DJ that can keep the party going while making the entire process stress-free and enjoyable.

We received so many compliments from our guests during the wedding and have continued to hear about how much fun everyone had afterward. The dance floor was packed, the music was perfect, and he truly helped make our wedding one of the best nights of our lives. I would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat!

Have to give a HUGE shoutout to his wife for the incredible Photo Booth experience!

It was honestly one of the biggest conversation pieces of the night. Between the fun props and all of the photos everyone took, we ended up with some amazing memories because of it. Thank you!
We’re so grateful for everything they did and would absolutely recommend them to anyone wanting a fun, stress free, unforgettable wedding experience!

dings he had done, so I felt confident reaching out.
From the moment I first contacted him, the entire process was smooth and easy. When we met in person, he walked me through how everything works and helped me choose the right package for our wedding. Marcus has a friendly yet professional personality, and after hearing how passionate he is about his work, I knew right away he would be the perfect DJ for our big day.
On the day of our wedding, I had a mini panic attack, and Marcus went above and beyond, comforting me and offering words of encouragement that helped calm me down. That moment alone showed how much he truly cares about his couples, not just the job.
He absolutely crushed it as a DJ; keeping the energy up, the dance floor full, and everyone having a great time. His wife was also amazing and ran the photo booth seamlessly.
If you’re looking for someone who’s talented, professional, personable, and genuinely cares, look no further. DJ Hype is truly exceptional. I 100% recommend him for your wedding or any event!

At our wedding, he brought the party to life like no one else could. He kept the crowd dancing all night long, flawlessly mixing every genre we asked for, and somehow making it all flow effortlessly. He’s not just a DJ—he’s a full-on entertainer. His energy is contagious, his timing is impeccable, and he knows exactly how to read the room. He had every single guest—from the kids to the grandparents—on their feet and having the time of their lives.
Marcus isn’t just amazing at weddings either—he’s a total pro for any event. He knows how to set the mood, get the party going, and keep it going. The way he hypes up the crowd while staying completely professional is truly a talent.

What stood out the most was his positive energy and personable nature—he truly helped set the tone for a joyful, relaxed celebration. We also used his photo booth service, which was a big hit with our guests! It came fully stocked with fun props, a themed background that matched our wedding decor, and printable photo strips. Not too mention we got a download of ALL the photo booth images too! The photo booth attendant (his wife) was also great, helping guests with the process and keeping things running smoothly.
Highly recommend for anyone looking for a professional, fun, and reliable DJ experience and/or photo booth.
