Not only was the music wonderful, but the band members were also courteous, kind, and professional. The company was easy to work with.

Mikey offline

5.0

New Orleans, LA
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,000

Mikey offline is a dj of the world but was born and raised in New Orleans, LA. As his hour-long mix shows, he has never been able to limit himself to one genre. This show includes some fun mixes, blends, music that he's been personally listening to lately, and of course representation of where he's from.

We were blown away by how good Mikey was, and I'd recommend him to anyone. A friend of a friend recommended Mikey, they said they wanted him but he wasn't available on their wedding day. So we looked him up on Soundcloud, reached out to hear about his process, and decided to book. I could not be happier with that decision. Mikey was easy to work with, reasonably priced, and most importantly, a killer DJ. He went out of the way to get our vibe, and on the day of the wedding, he kept the dance floor full for the whole reception. My cousins kept on telling me he was the best wedding DJ they'd ever seen, and even the photographer and wedding planner came up to me to ask "where did you find this guy!" Honestly, our wedding was perfect, and I give Mikey a ton of credit for making that happen.

  • Starts at $600
  • Serves New Orleans, LA

HiMotive Entertainment is a Event/Wedding entertainment service company operating out of North Carolina. From highly skilled photographers to DJs, Our ultimate goal is to handle all of your audio-visual needs.

Overall our experience working with DJ David Malachi was absolutely excellent. He was extremely reasonably priced, was more than willing to work with us about setting up payment installments, and the app uses for couples to set up what songs they want to be played at the reception made it overall not only very easy but actually fun to put together something that might’ve been stressful otherwise. David was charming and responsive the entire process of booking and paying. And on the day of, the dance floor was absolutely a party, he did a great job taking certain requests and mixing the songs together while also keeping it pumped up but family friendly! He also went above and beyond to help the timeline be on track during the reception, going out of his way to help call tables and pull a game together of his own making, which got the crowd involved and was so much fun. He was constantly asking me and my husband what we needed and was down to do to be helpful. I would definitely work with him again if given the opportunity!!

DJ 6th Sense is a native of New Orleans, LA. He has always had a passion for music that feeds the soul since birth. His earliest memories of deep musical inspiration were riding around with his uncle on Sundays, while listening to old school music. 6th Sense served in the USN for 10 years where he was blessed with the luxury of hearing a variety of different styles of music from different places, which translates to his unique spin on being an open-format DJ. A true fan of cultural diversity, 6th Sense sets shine when in his preferred gumbo melting pot-type environments, where his musical selections can reach out to all the people at once.

DJ 6th Sense did a PHENOMENAL job for my event! He was extremely professional and communicative leading up to the event! He listened to me, and was willing to find the music that I requested! DJ 6th Sense really read the crowd that night, and had everyone on the dance floor the whole time! People are still talking about how much of a great time they had, and how great the Dj's energy was!
