    Our dj for two weddings

    We chose Marcus Matthews (DJ Hype) for both of our daughter's weddings. We thought he did such a great job with the first one that we didn't hesitate to hire him again for the second. We had just an awesome experience with him at both weddings. Super easy to get along with, great communicator, & provided just a fantastic service. He kept things running on schedule, brought people out of their shells, and brought so much fun to the event...he was just an integral part of our wedding experience, both times. We would not think to hire anyone else if we ever need a DJ at a future event. Thank you Marcus!

    Marcus is the best!

    If we are even thinking of hosting an event we first check with Marcus and his availability. He makes the party and is amazing to work with up until the event too. Even in Covid times he worked with our group that had to be cut to 25 and made it just as much fun as the 300 person group he had DJ'd for us 3 years prior. Even with a small group he brought the same energy and ability to make everyone dance and have fun. You will not go wrong hiring him!

    Life. Of. The. Party!

    Five stars is an understatement. DJ Hype brings the party- he himself is the party. I had no idea who to ask as a DJ and my coordinator sent me his name with two others- I made the decision based on reviews like the one I am leaving now and I’m telling you- it will be the best decision you made the entire wedding planning process. He took special requests, played a voicemail from my dad before our dance, took a USB drive from my grandfather for a special surprise dance, and even played a song I converted myself. He will dance with you, sing with you, and make your guests feel like family. He was very communicative leasing up to the big day and even allowed me to add an extra hour three days before my event when I realized I needed wireless mics for my ceremony. (He even has these!) Do it. Stop looking right now and book him!!

    Awesome DJ

    We hired Marcus “DJ Hype” for our wedding and he was awesome. We had some unusual requests for songs and for first dance & family dances at our reception, he pulled it all off for us! He kept our event moving, even when our pastor was 20 mins late & our timeline fell behind. The vibe at our wedding was exactly what we asked for and all of our guests had a great time. The night was blur for me but the moments I did get to enjoy with my husband on the dance floor were amazing! I would absolutely hire Marcus again for any future events.

    Nonstop Party

    From the moment we talked to Marcus, he was great to work with. He has a whole packet to help him know what kinds of songs you like and what your special songs are. He was so accommodating. From start to stop, he kept the music flowing. Perfect sets for everything from seating of guests, cocktail hour, dinner, to the nonstop party at the end. Our dance floor was almost never empty. He kept a great pulse on the crowd and kept the momentum going. He is not afraid to get out on the floor and show everyone how to do some of the dances. We received so many compliments on how fun he was!

    We also got our photo booth from him! His wife helps make the photo strips unique to your wedding so they match. She was amazing to work with on the day. They brought plenty of props to use as well. It was a big hit with all our guests.

    Indescribable experience

    Planning a wedding from out of state was difficult - especially when we could not meet any of the vendors in advance. We found DJ Hype, saw how highly reviewed he was, found out how affordable he was, and scooped him up right away for our date. Trust me, you think you know a good DJ?? You haven't experienced anything until you meet and hear the work of DJ Hype! His flexibility, well preparedness, and down to earth, fun, demeanor truly made our day one we will never forget! THANK YOU FOR BEING PART OF OUR DAY AND MAKING IT AMAZING!!

    Amazing DJ!!!

    Marcus was the PERFECT DJ for our wedding. He customized a mash up for my husband and mother in law to dance to and kept people on the dance floor all night!!! He did an amazing job of choosing songs for the younger and older crowds and has such an amazing presence and personality. The music for the ceremony, all dances, the introductions, ect was perfect and exactly what we asked for. He allowed for us to make all kinds of requests and fulfilled them all. Working with him was easy and all of our guests loved him. Could not recommend enough!!!!

    You need DJ Hype at your event!!

    We hired Marcus for our wedding and it was the best decision. He was very professional and accommodating. We met with him twice before the wedding so he could get an understanding of what we wanted. And it was perfect. You definitely want Marcus at your wedding. He seriously brought the party! Our dance floor was full the entire night. He is so fun and interactive! He was even out on the dance floor with us to teach the line dances if you didn’t know them. And even had me (the bride) back behind the dj booth for a song, it was the highlight of my night! We also opted for Marcus’s uplighting and Photo Booth. I highly recommend getting this as well. Our guests loved the Photo Booth and Marcus even sent us a CD of every photo taken that night. Seriously couldn’t recommend him enough!!! DJ Hype Brings the Hype!!!

    Dj hype - 5 stars!

    DJ Hype was the DJ for my sister’s wedding in Manteo this past weekend and HE KILLED IT!!! He played awesome music and got the crowd HYPE - from behind the booth and out on the dance floor. It rained briefly before the ceremony and he did not hesitate for a second before he went to grab a towel to go outside and help dry off the chairs. He went above and beyond and OVER delivered. 1000000% reccommend.

    Amazing DJ!!!

    Marcus was so much fun to have on our wedding day, he really added to the party especially when he got on the dance floor with us. He made sure to play the type of music I (the bride) requested and music he knew would keep guests on the dancefloor which was extremely important for us. Living in NJ we were nervous to pick a DJ out of state for our wedding in NC but Marcus by far exceeded our expectations. Any concern/question I had (I had a lot) Marcus always answered quickly and thoroughly. He is the perfect DJ if you want a true party at your wedding!!

    Easy and so much fun!

    DJ Hype was the BEST DJ we could've wished for, for our wedding. He was HYPE ALL NIGHT, he sang with us, danced with us, and even let me DJ for a few minutes! To get the party started, we had a sing-off between both sides of the room which was the perfect way to set the tone for the rest of the night. I wish I could give him a 1000849503/10. Best DJ ever.

    Best dj ever

    DJ Hype was the perfect addition to our wedding. We did not have the biggest dance party, but we did have the best. We also utilized his uplighting and photo booth - both were great additions and we're very happy with everything.

    Amazing DJ

    Would not hesitate to recommend Marcus (DJ Hype) to any couple planning a wedding in the Outer Banks area. He was very communicative and professional leading up to our wedding day, and was accommodating to all our requests. He read the crowd so well once the dance floor opened up; our guests loved him so much they asked for one more song at the end of the night (which he did!). I would definitely recommend hiring DJ Hype for your wedding, you'll be so glad you did!

    DJ Hype is the BEST!

    Marcus was our DJ at our wedding three weeks ago down in Nags Head, NC and to say he was amazing is an understatement. He is truly one of the nicest people we have ever met and he REALLY knows how to get the party started! He had everyone up dancing and having a great time the whole night. We cannot thank Marcus and his wife enough for everything they did for us and I would highly recommend him to anyone having a wedding or event any time soon. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    The DJ for you

    We got married at Jennette’s Pier in the OBX on 5/8/23 and HIGHLY recommend DJ Hype. He made sure to get everyone involved and that they were all having a good time; from the people outside on the deck mingling to playing songs for the little ones that attended our wedding. Everyone could not stop talking about how much fun they had and how amazing our DJ was. Marcus knows how to get the party started and keep it going all night long!

    DJ Hype definitely lives up to his name!

    I met DJ Hype back when I was a little girl and even then his infectious positive personality was a shining light whenever you are around him and his wife so choosing him for our wedding was a no brainer. He had all the music timed perfectly and played all of our top requested songs. The dance floor was packed ALL. NIGHT. LONG. There was never a dull moment. He even comes out onto the floor to interact with guests during the music which I think is so fun & personable. DJ Hype & his wife Melissa is the team you NEED for your wedding, party, event - anything that requires music & a good time!

    Book DJ Hype! He will get the party started!

    DJ Hype was the best choice for a DJ I could have ever made. Our wedding planner recommended him and he killed it! We did a plated dinner and he kept the music quiet for everyone to talk and catch up. Then when it was time to party it was time to party! He was amazing and we really enjoyed him!
