Thank you, this DJs amazing.
I play the violin, and know a little about mixing music with the beat, and Michael (DJ) must be using a drum machine. The drum beats sound similar to the normal songs, and in key!
He kept our guests on the dance floor. And isn't shy about playing requests.
Highly recommend.

The portal was easy to use too for payments and giving details.

Very well organised and thorough, we were contacted in advance and asked if there were any particular songs we would like and given a link to our personal portal.
If there was a song we would like played he was happy to play it. He was also clear that what he is unable to do is connect to public WiFi or play songs from YouTube.
We had a great time at our event, all you need is the simple tip of working with Mike in advance to plan your event and music prior.
Highly recommended, have a great wedding or event.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for our disco on Saturday night at Hundith Hill.
It was a brilliant night and I appreciate how seamless it all was. Being able to choose songs beforehand is absolutely fab.
I did want to catch you before you left to say thank you but ended up getting waylaid by some very drunk people!
The video you sent of the dancing was absolutely lovely and occasionally hilarious!

Mike was the DJ for my daughter's wedding & it was a fantastic night.
An eclectic bunch of guests of various ages & tastes, but he managed to please us all with his music & a bit of banter thrown in for good measure. He read the room perfectly.
What a lovely fella.
Thank you for an evening that we shall never forget!

The online portal to prepare for the wedding was clear and easy to use. We had some fairly varied requests and Mike made them all work together as one playlist really well.
We had a couple of our custom songs labelled back to front but it was very quickly sorted out and didn't affect the flow of the evening.
On the day I was incredibly pleased with the way our requests had been met and how the energy in the room was kept up. Mike had a great sense of humour (which you'd need for my mad family) and read the room really well for what to put on next between requests.
I thought the request slips were a great idea and it meant that some more shy people at the wedding got to put their song requests in too and there really was something for everyone.
I was even more pleased to be surprised with a video of some of the highlights of the evening so that we can relive them while we're waiting for our photos.
A huge, huge thank you from myself, my new husband and our guests.
We had a great night and highly recommend Motiv-8!

Great communication, informative Web page. We was happy to give free reign to Mike to play what he knows fills the dance floor, but his Web page allows loads of lists u can choose from and lots of requests were on the night by our guests. Mike was entertaining on the Microphone, keeping it personal by using our names . Loved the fact he took pics and videos from his stage too which he sent over quickly.
The floor was packed from the moment he started to the very last song.
Thanks again !
