Easter Weekend Wedding 2024

DJ Marcus Hype truly made our wedding unforgettable. From the moment the music started, he had everyone on their feet, dancing and having the time of their lives. His music selection was spot-on, catering to every guest and keeping the energy high throughout the night.

Not only did DJ Marcus Hype keep the party going, but he was also a pleasure to work with leading up to the event. He was professional, courteous, and truly listened to our preferences, making sure to incorporate our favorite songs into the playlist.

Multiple guests complimented us on our choice of DJ, with many mentioning how he was one of the best they've seen at a wedding. DJ Marcus Hype more than exceeded our expectations, and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking to elevate their event with an incredible soundtrack. Thank you, DJ Marcus Hype, for making our special day even more magical!

You WON’T regret him!

Our wedding day was truly an unforgettable experience for us. From start to finish, everything was executed with precision and care, leaving us with cherished memories to last a lifetime. The team at Hype Entertainment went above and beyond for us.
He provided music and mics for the ceremony on the beach, which were crystal clear and loud enough for everyone to hear. Marcus knew exactly how to read the crowd and kept the dance floor packed all night! He wasn’t your typical DJ who just stood behind his booth he interacted with guest and played song request he felt would fit the vibe.
I cannot recommend DJ Hype enough to everyone!

What an amazing DJ company. DJ Hype of Hype Entertainment delivers every single time with no equipment failures, follows the timeline precisely without questioning how it's ran or trying to push his agenda because he knows it's all about the couple or the client and delivering amazing music based on their preferences. He gets guests dancing that you would never see dancing for example a couples grandmother has been seen on the dance floor at many of his couple's weddings. I have seen too many times a DJ make the wedding all about themselves and what he wants to play but not this top notch DJ. His equipment is top notch and his DJ abilities are top notch. He keeps the dance floor full all night long and all of my couples complement him every single time. You can't go wrong with DJ Hype for your wedding or event because he is simply the best. Again, he will deliver every single time with great results and you will be 100% satisfied with his DJ'ing and MC'ing abilities.
