Wedding DJ Services

From intimate receptions to the nuptial affair of the season (where even your cousin’s plumber is invited), Active Entertainment is The One your wedding reception can’t live without. We love meeting with brides and grooms, getting to know your unique music preferences, and suggesting songs from our mammoth music library. Your comfort level is what matters most to us, so we work to make sure you’re happy with the playlist and the flow of your reception. In fact, the DJ you consult with before your wedding will be the one you see on your wedding day. Using top-of-the-line sound equipment, we’ll mix beats, blend songs, and most important of all: read your crowd and respond accordingly. Because we bring the party to nearly 300 weddings every year, you can trust that we’ve been there, done that, bought the table setting. We’ll do our part to make your big day seamless. Need music for your wedding ceremony, too? We’ll be there when you say “I do.”

Corporate Event DJ Services

Active Entertainment has had the privilege of DJ’ing holiday parties, family days, and workshops for local businesses like PPD, GE, and Corning. Not to mention wrap parties for movie studios, sporting events for NFL teams, and parties for Grammy Award winners. No matter what your business is celebrating or commemorating, Active Entertainment is on the scene to make sure your employee morale goes through the roof. Or, if you prefer we blend into the background, we can do that, too

Academic Events DJ Service

Hosting a sorority soiree? Professor appreciation event? Elementary school fundraiser? From youngsters to hipsters to proms, Active Entertainment schools the competition on how to pack the dance floor.

Private Party DJ

Life is short, so leave no occasion behind. From personal milestones like birthdays, anniversaries, and graduations to national holidays like New Year’s Eve, July 4th, and Arbor Day (if you’re into that), Active Entertainment makes any day worth remembering.

DJ Event Services & Upgrades

Beyond our mad mixing and hosting skills, Active Entertainment can bling out your event with extras to enhance the overall vibe. Check out our services!

DJ Booth

Our DJ booth upgrade was designed to tie the DJ into the overall wedding design. You can dress this up with greenery, floral arrangements, a custom neon, or whatever matches your wedding. Beyond that, it comes with a truly impressive lighting upgrade. The moving-head fixtures that sit on top of the 4 columns are able to intelligently match the music that is being played. The projected light rotates and morphs through different patterns and designs, and the prism function can turn one pattern into 8 overlaid projections, providing full room coverage when you need it. If you care about design and care about impact, this is the perfect upgrade for your wedding. • 1 DJ Facade, and 4 Columns • 4 moving-head fixtures • Free delivery and setup within Wilmington • Intelligent DMX controls

The Groove Box

Not only is this a beautiful addition to your cocktail hour space, the Jukebox also serves a purpose. When the couple and the bridal party are off having their photoshoot, and guests are at cocktail hour, the mood for your party is being set. This innovative approach to cocktail hours puts the control in the hands of your guests. Instead of giving them a playlist of music you like, why not let them listen to their favorite songs? • A limitless library of music • 1 built-in speaker • 1 wireless speaker • Delivery, setup, and pickup included

The Social Station

The days of bulky booths with printer jams in the middle of your event are over. Our sleek, top-of-the-line Salsa Booths can shoot pictures, GIFs, Boomerangs, and short videos. They have a built-in LED ring to give each capture the perfect lighting. And they can even add filters like animal faces and flower crowns to your pictures. Then those captures are emailed, texted, or Air Dropped directly to your guest so that they can be shared instantly! • An online photo gallery • A backdrop of your choice • On-site photo booth attendant • Setup/breakdown of all equipment • A collection of fun props

The Club Cannon

When equipped with the CO2 Cannon, an impressive spectacle unfolds in your hands. All eyes will be on you as this thing releases 20-30 ft plumes of cold fog, creating high-impact moments that captivate the dance floor. The controlled burst enhances the visual experience, adding a touch of excitement to any event. For extended performances, additional CO2 tanks are available upon request, ensuring a continuous and spectacular display tailored to your specific needs. • Captivate the dance floor • 20 lb CO2 Tank • Shoots out 20-30 ft. of fog • Additional CO2 Tanks Available

Live Saxophone Player + Drummer

Live, professional saxophonist to complement your DJ. Your sax player will play the entirety of the dance floor. Our drummer can also accompany your DJ for the dance floor, and take your event to the next level.

Sound Reinforcement

If you’re planning to have over 175 guests at your event, we recommend upgrading the sound system. The number of people in a space has a direct impact on how effectively a sound system works. We can amp up the sound with additional state-of-the-art speakers and sound equipment.

    Working with Martin was an absolute breeze from start to finish! We had a few unconventional music requests and special moments we wanted incorporated throughout the night, and he never missed a beat. He was incredibly flexible, knowledgeable, and clearly knows how to read a crowd while still making the night feel uniquely personal to the couple. Every song and transition felt seamless, and he did an amazing job bringing our vision to life. The dance floor was packed all night long! The next day, we heard over and over again that it was the best wedding they had ever attended, and Martin played a huge role in creating that experience. Added pro tip: book the CO₂ cannon. It added such a fun, high-energy moment to the reception and made for incredible photos and videos. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ and would recommend Martin to anyone looking for an unforgettable wedding reception!

    Kyle with Active DJ is just an absolute pro. Aside from clearly knowing and loving music, he is personable, entertaining, kind, and knows how to bring all the right vibes to a good wedding party. Can’t thank Active Entertainment enough for making our wedding everything we hoped for and more! We had some pretty specific requests, and Kyle delivered in ways I couldn’t have imagined. You know they did a good job when everyone on the dance floor is asking me for the playlist and who the dj is!! Thank you, Kyle!!

    If the dance floor is important to you, hire Martin. It is as simple as that. Music was one of the most important parts of our wedding, and Martin absolutely knocked it out of the park. From our ceremony to the very last song of the night, he created an atmosphere that felt completely personal to us while somehow also getting every generation out on the dance floor. The dance floor was packed all night long. In fact, the only complaint we received about our wedding was that it didn't last longer because people were having too much fun dancing. The energy was so high that many of our guests continued the party afterward because no one wanted the night to end. One of the things we appreciated most was Martin's ability to take our playlist and truly understand the vibe we were hoping to create. He struck the perfect balance between our must-play songs and crowd favorites, keeping the momentum going from start to finish. Every transition felt natural, and he did an incredible job reading the room throughout the evening. The joy and energy on the dance floor all night long was exactly what we had hoped for when planning our wedding. Looking around and seeing family and friends of all ages dancing together and having such an incredible time is something we will never forget. We are so grateful for the talent, professionalism, and enthusiasm Martin brought to our wedding. He helped create the kind of celebration people are still talking about, and we would recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone looking for an unforgettable wedding reception.

    We had the absolute best experience working with Martin and the team at Active Entertainment for our wedding after-party! They completely nailed the vibe, playing exactly what we wanted, a perfect mix of 2010s and 2020s pop hits that kept the party going so seamlessly that it felt like it would never end. They were incredibly professional, responsive, and brought such fantastic energy to our celebration. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top-tier DJ!

    Active Entertainment is the BEST! Martin instantly connected with my husband and I, and assisted through every step of the process- truly making it so easy! Kyle S was our DJ for our wedding, and he made the night even more special. Not only was he on time, but he was very detail oriented, and checked in throughout the night to make sure the songs were hitting (they definitely were). Kyle brought the best energy and we've received so many compliments on his services! I highly recommend Active, and I highly highly recommend Kyle!

Frequently Asked Questions About Active Entertainment

Why should I hire a DJ instead of a band?

A DJ requires a simpler, less expensive set-up that allows you more flexibility as the host of an event. DJs can deliver witty and stylish (and even outlandish) presentations, or they can blend into the background to add a quiet air of sophistication to any environment. DJs aren’t at all high maintenance and often work without taking breaks. Perhaps the best thing of all is that DJs ensure the music you love is exactly the music you’ll get.

When should I book a DJ?

We recommend that you reserve a DJ at least six months before your event, but Active Entertainment is able to accommodate some last-minute calls, so please contact us at your earliest convenience.
