We had DJ Dre for our wedding & it was literally the best thing we ever did. He was PHENOMENAL from start to finish. He was so engaging with the crowd, played the best songs & flowed with the crowd so easily, everyone was on the dance floor from the very beginning. He didn’t miss a beat with our ceremony, cocktail, or dinner music and kept the vibes up the whole time. Incredibly sweet, professional, experienced, and have already had so many comments about him since our wedding this weekend. He is the BEST!! You will NOT regret using DJ Dre or 1800!

He had the party going! My daughter got married 2/4 and DJ Dre came highly recommended. He was so easy to work with and threw a great party. Everyone loved the music and the dance floor was full the whole time. We hired the photo booth and it was a total hit. I can not express how thankful we were to have him be part of this evening - from the ceremony to the after party.

When your wedding guests can't stop talking about your DJ for weeks after your wedding and it led to more hires post wedding - you know you selected THE BEST DJ! We had Estebon aka DJ Three through 1800 Media Group, and let me just tell you. That was the best vendor hiring decision ever. To preface, I had talked to 4 DJs during the vetting process before stumbling upon Esteban/1800 Media Group, that all seemed great, then one phone call with Esteban and we knew we had to hire him. He is a gem, has an infectious personality, is so fun, and you could tell he had tons of experience. He listened to all my specific music requests for the ceremony and made my reception a so fun! He orchestrates dances to go with music to literally get the crowd dancing at receptions. He helped pull off a huge surprise for my guests when Blooper from the ATL Braves was announced at the reception. He followed the timeline perfectly. He was the ultimate DJ all around. If you don't hire him you are missing out! I could not have been more pleased with Estebon!

Dre is the absolute best!!! He did an amazing job at our wedding. From the time I reached out to him, Dre was very quick to get me any info I needed and happy to help in any way. Dre is genuinely so friendly and it is evident that he loves what he does- and he is great at it! He did a great job with our ceremony music and our reception. Dre knows how to have a good time, how to make others have a good time, and how to get people out on the dance floor! We have had many of our guests comment on how great our DJ was for our wedding. We are so thankful Dre was a part of our day!

Our daughter wanted a DJ for her wedding and we wanted a band. So glad we listened to her and what an amazing DJ that DJ Dre is! He and his sidekick had everyone dancing all night long. They were even able to get those “I don’t dance types” out there. They were so high energy that no one wanted the night to end. I can’t say enough good things about them. I have been at other weddings where no one knows the speeches, introductions etc are going on. DJ Dre was on top of all of that! Highly recommend!!

He was extremely attentive and responsive and couldn't have been any friendlier! He put us at ease and handled every detail like a seasoned pro. He transitioned the music from cocktail hour to dinner to after party seamlessly! He is extremely interactive and keeps the party exciting and fun!!

We had the most perfect wedding and most of it was due to THE amazing DJ Dre. He had the party going non-stop and we cannot recommend Dre enough! From the first moment we met to discuss our music preferences until the last song played, DJ Dre went above and beyond to make our wedding reception an unforgettable experience.
First and foremost, his professionalism and attention to detail were exceptional. He took the time to understand our vision and made sure that every song and transition were perfectly tailored to our taste. His expertise and experience were evident as he seamlessly mixed different genres and created a vibrant and energetic atmosphere that had everyone on the dance floor.
DJ Dre’s ability to read the crowd was truly remarkable. He skillfully played a variety of music genres that appealed to guests of all ages, ensuring that no one felt left out. The dance floor was always packed, and the energy in the room was electric.
Overall, DJ Dre exceeded all expectations. He set the perfect tone for the evening, ensuring that the dance floor was always filled with joy and laughter. His talent, professionalism, and ability to create a magical atmosphere truly made our wedding reception unforgettable.
If you're looking for a wedding DJ who will go above and beyond to create an incredible experience for you and your guests, look no further. Trust me, hiring DJ Dre will be one of the best decisions you make for your special day. He deserves nothing less than five stars for their exceptional performance and dedication to making our wedding night a night to remember forever!

If you are getting married in the metro Atlanta area and do not hire DJ Dre as your wedding, you are doing something wrong! I could not say enough amazing things about Dre - he was so communicative, funny, friendly, and energetic. Our wedding guests are still raving about him and his partner that evening. They both were on the dance floor interacting guests all night. Dre was so good at reading the room and playing music that fit how everyone was feeling. The dance floor was NEVER empty! We also hired Dre to provide our Photo Booth and that was awesome as well!! Our guests loved it!

My husband and I got married in October of last year. We had originally planned for a February wedding, but had to postpone because of the pandemic and were super relieved when Dre was able to accommodate our new date. On top of being flexible, Dre was very warm and welcoming from day one. Our first interaction was through a phone call – he was very informative, kind, and the passion he had for his work came through with every word he spoke. We knew that Dre would be able to provide the best DJ service for our wedding and he did just that! In preparation for the big day, we came up with a pretty extensive list with all of the music we’d love to be the soundtrack for our wedding. Dre was super helpful with creating the perfect lineup of songs from what we gave him. He was also very comforting when it came to any pre-wedding worries about things that could go wrong in terms of technical difficulties, reassuring us that everything would go smoothly. On the day of the wedding, Dre was nothing short of amazing! The ceremony was held outside and Dre came very prepared. Our officiant was given a microphone and could be heard clearly. The music from the beginning of the ceremony all the way through the last song played was exactly what we hoped for – calm when we wanted elegance and vibrant when we wanted to party! Multiple guests stopped to tell us how much fun they had with our DJ. Dre made us feel very much taken care of. If any issues came up, he was quick to adjust and always made us feel included in the process. To us, the music for our wedding was incredibly important because it would encompass nearly every moment of the day. Because of Dre's professionalism and wonderful service, my husband and I will look back at our wedding and know that it was truly the perfect day! To any inquiring couples that are looking for a DJ that makes you a priority and shares the same level as excitement for your big day as you, DJ Dre 1800 is a 10/10 – highly recommend!

We used Esteban with DJ Dre 1800! He was great to communicate with and then when things didn't go as planned the day of, he was quick to help and make everything go smoothly. Great price for the enthusiasm and spunk he brought to the table. I highly recommend him!!! Thank you Esteban for doing a great job!

He played every song we asked for and kept the dance floor full the entire night long. It went by too quickly. I would gladly have another event with the 1800 Media Group.

I cannot thank DJ Dre enough!! I was in a wedding a few years ago that he was the DJ at and I knew when I got married I wanted him! At that wedding and mine, the dance floor never stopped! He is very reasonably priced, super friendly, and very interactive. So many people loved him, the music he played, and all that he did to make it an amazing night!

There are not enough stars for the level of service DJ Dre provided for our wedding! Dre was the first vendor we locked, and we knew from the first conversation that this was the man to emcee and DJ our wedding. Throughout what became a nearly two-year planning process Dre maintained the same level of excitement for our big day - remembering even the smallest details from conversations had months (or even a year!) prior.
When planning we didn't brief Dre on a set list, but rather a general "vibe" we were going for...and he NAILED it. He kept our wedding party organized and hyped, our guests energized, and all our other vendors happy. He was in the DJ booth, he was on the dance floor, he was going table by table to sing with our guests. With Dre you don't just get a DJ, you get an emcee and day-of partner who goes out of his way to be in sync with both you and your guests to create the exact atmosphere you are going for.
In the 48 hours after our wedding we were approached by several guests and vendors saying who was your DJ, can we have him / refer him, and even does he travel to other states. Dre, thank you for making our people happy and our day special!

DJ Dre came highly recommended to us from our venue and boy he did not disappoint!! From the first time we talked to him, we felt like he was an old friend. He listened to everything we wanted and executed it all perfectly. He also worked with our budget and was so gracious about it.
At the wedding, he and his intern were both engaging the crowd and really kept the energy up! We had a ton of guests come up to us and say that he was the best wedding DJ they’d ever seen!
He even threw in a couple of surprises for us!! Don’t look any further…book Dre NOW! You will not be disappointed. If I could give him more than 5 stars, I would!

THE. BEST. EVER. I remember meeting with my venue and someone said that Dre was their favorite. So, I looked at the review and they showed it! He was so professional during the planning process. I even spoke with another vendor who spoke so highly of him, and it made me feel so happy I booked him. At our wedding, Dre made everyone want to be on the dance floor. Our guests still comment on how amazing he is! He knows how to have a crowd have the best time. You need DJ Dre!

Andre, DJ Dre, was a dynamic, personable, and all-around awesome addition to our wedding. We wouldn’t consider hiring anyone else. Dre was creative, organized, and resourceful. From
communicating with us about our song choices for the ceremony and reception to answering day-of questions. He is also an AWESOME energy for the reception. Our guests and family after easily and eagerly commented “Best DJ ever” and my husband and I could agree more.
Stop what you’re doing and hire DJ Dre. Look no further, hire DJ Dre. You can thank me later, as long as he DJs your wedding.

DJ Dre is an absolutely wonderful man and a highly-skilled professional deejay. From start to finish, he gave exceptional service. He provided music during the ceremony and the reception. His sound system was excellent, and he timed every piece of music for each event (processional/recessional, bride's entrance, special dances, etc.) of the wedding perfectly. At the reception, he kept the party hopping from the first to the last song. He interacted with the crowd and played music that spanned generations so that every guest, from the youngest to the oldest, danced all night. I cannot recommend DJ Dre enough. Whenever I need deejay services, he will be the first one that I call.

Dre was absolutely fantastic! My husband is a huge music buff, and picking a DJ was very important to him. He was the second vendor we picked (venue was first), and he was the perfect addition to our day! He worked with us to understand our music taste and created the perfect atmosphere. He was so much fun, is a very kind person, was fantastic at reading our guests, playing the perfect music selection at the perfect time, and was overall absolutely amazing. We enjoyed having him be a part of our day and cannot recommend him enough!

If you want your wedding to turn into a giant dance party where your friends and family will write you for weeks saying that they have never had more fun on a dance floor (and during Covid no less), then you will need DJ Dre by your side.
He is kind, helpful, and interactive. Dre is super personable and will leave your wedding guests thinking they have a new best friend, but also he isn't intrusive and it never feels like it becomes the Dre show. He brings the right combination to the table!
I never realized until I started planning a wedding just how many pieces of the whole event hinged on music - this isn't just your first dance, but your walk down the aisle, your bouquet toss, your cake cutting. It can be a lot, but Dre makes it all so easy. He has forms that have already thought it out for you so you can just fill in the blank if you are particular, or he has suggestion lists, or even options to let him pick from a genre (Frank Sinatra happy hour? Yes, please).
He is so much fun to work with and is so amazing at catering to your specific crowd. Our music ranged from oldies, to Motown, to more modern pop songs and he managed to mesh it all in together. The dance floor was always packed, and he noticed things to keep it that way, like how my Aunts can't resist a good Motown jam. How he managed to keep everyone from my 88-year-old grandmother to my friends in their 20s happy is beyond me, but he did. We have only great things to say about him!

Just do one thing......book Andre aka DJ Dre! He made our reception so much fun! He was very engaging with our guest and a really genuine person with a great smile!
We originally had a wedding planned for 200 guest but decided late summer to downsize to 65 guest to include family only. We had already booked Dre for the larger venue and knew we still wanted music but thinking it would be just background music. Well after dinner that all changed! Andre got the party started and everyone from the 5 year old flower girl all the way to the 85 year old grandparents were on the dance floor! I can’t say enough about the night. Trust me you won’t be disappointed!

The best decision we made for our wedding was hiring DJ Dre! He kept everyone (young and old) on the dance floor all night, even with social distancing. He made sure everyone had a great time and kept the audience involved and engaged. He also did the music and mics for our ceremony, which was spot on and a huge help. The app he uses for music requests was super convenient and simple to use. I can't say enough amazing things about DJ Dre, we highly recommend booking him for your wedding day!

He was very engaged with the guests and was able to read the crowd very well with his music selection. All of our guests could not stop commenting on how much fun they had at the reception and how amazing our DJ was. If I ever have another event that needs a DJ he will definitely my #1 pick! Cannot day enough good things about him!

We have never had experience with a DJ before, so we had no idea what to look for when searching for one. Thankfully, our venue had DJ Dre on their preferred vendor list, and after looking at his reviews and talking to him on the phone, we knew we couldn't go with anyone else! He was extremely professional, knew so many songs (which meant he was out on the dance floor with us dancing and singing), and had the best personality. He kept our guests engaged, made sure that we were all having an amazing time, and really made our night so memorable. We highly recommend hiring DJ Dre for any type of event if you want to have a great time!

I can literally not recommend DJ DRE enough!! He is AMAZING. He had everyone on the dance floor the entire night and he was so interactive with the crowd. It was the most fun night of my life. If you’re getting married soon you will be so happy you picked him.
Our uncle from Chicago said he was going to fly him up to Chicago for all his events bc he had so much fun. My father who avoids the dance floor at all costs was out there the whole night. I’m not kidding he’s the greatest :)

I have had the pleasure of knowing Dre for a little over 4 years and when I met him, I told him that when I got married he HAD to be my DJ. When I contacted him and told him that I was engaged and that I wanted him to be my DJ, not only was he thrilled, but he was genuinely excited about my engagement. He is kind, authentic, and an absolute pleasure to work with. He made the party and made the day even more special for me by listening to all of my request and following through. My wedding day would not have been complete without him. I highly recommend his services.

My husband and I live outside of Georgia and had to book our vendors without meeting them in person. We booked DJ Dre after reading his wonderful reviews and we're so glad we did! He was great to work with and very personable. He did both our ceremony and reception and everything went perfectly! Our favorite part of the night was when he got everyone on the dance floor (even the older folks!). Our friends and family had a blast thanks to Andre, we couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our wedding!

I love dj dre! We hired him for both our ceremony and reception. The music was a very important part of the wedding for me, because my husband and I's family/friends love a good party. Dj Dre was super personable and friendly from the first phone call I had with him. He was also very professional and punctual. His client portal is AMAZING! Basically you pick "must play" "would like to hear" or "don't play" songs for the wedding as well as submit the schedule and designated songs for different special moments. Dj Dre also runs through the details the week before the wedding. Communication was easy, timely, and smooth all the way through. All of the wedding guests loved the music and he did an awesome job during transitions and pumping up the crowd. He is a great dj at a great price. I'm so glad he was a part of our special day.

DJ Dre is THE BEST!!! If you're looking for a DJ we HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend him!
DJ Dre was a pleasure to work with the entire process leading up to the wedding and of course the wedding night. He was extremely professional, responded quickly, accommodated our busy schedules, and provided great guidance. We were high maintenance with changing up some of the key songs last minute and he was still polite and responsive to make sure everything was as we wanted. The night of the wedding he was punctual for setup, brought everything he needed (with backups just in case), and worked very well with our planner. He did a great job with the general announcements and keeping everything flowing smoothly. And our guests were on the dance floor the entire night which was exactly what we wanted! DJ Dre made sure everyone was having a great time! We honestly couldn't have asked for anyone better and are so grateful he was a part of our wedding night! If we ever need someone to DJ another event of ours in the future we will 1000% be reaching out to Dre again!

He currently DJs my company's holiday party so I have known how good he is for some time now. He will always be my go-to-DJ. Thank you Dre for making our wedding so much fun and entertaining. You have an infectious spirit, you are a genuine good person and a pleasure to work with.

Obsessed is an understatement. People get weary about having a DJ over a band, and when you have Dre, you don't even think about what you could've had. He plays whatever you want, interacts with the crowds, and makes you feel like you've been family forever. I've not only used him for my own wedding, but I've also attended multiple weddings where he has been the DJ. He NEVER disappoints and it's a different experience every event. This guy is a legend among the DJ's and were grateful we got to work with him!

Choosing your music selection for any event is almost always the smallest, yet most crucial decision to make and finding someone to manage that is sometimes even harder. However, that was not the case for DJ Dre! He not only handled it, but he also was a great MC. He kept our guests informed on what was happening next, where to go, and he did it all with great energy that was not overbearing. The thing that stood out most is that he is very organized and that is something that we have never seen from a DJ. This is a DJ that you have to have no matter if you're getting married or just having fun.

Dre was AMAZING! He got everyone out on the dance floor (especially those you’d never imagine seeing out there). He was the sweetest person ever. He let me change a few songs the morning of my wedding which was huge. He played great music all night long and taught our guest certain dances. The interaction was perfect. You need to get Dre for your wedding!!

Best DJ ever! One of the things that was most important to me during my reception was having a top notch dj. After asking around, I heard an abundance of compliments surround DJ Dre 1800, and I knew at that point I had to hire him. Let me just tell you- from the time we had our initial consult to our final consult just before the wedding...Dre was incredibly professional, thoughtful, easy to talk to, and full of suggestions to make it the best night ever. Our wedding reception was a BLAST, and I owe that to the way Dj Dre ran the show- from exceptional MC talent to the perfect song selections. He managed to make latin, oldies, and hip hop flow effortlessly, and every person there had an excellent time and could barely leave the dance floor. Hire this man, and you are guaranteed the night of your life.

Labor Day weekend, DJ Dre 1800 did our 20th anniversary vow renewal and reception, and he is so personable and really listened to our family. We called, met and discussed everything many times time to make sure it was perfect! We really incorporated our children, and he hit it out of the park. He also did our up lighting and was able to work with our social media wall (that was a hit using Walls.IO!) and “day of” coordinator, and AV vendor to execute it exactly as we envisioned. It was an amazing event with all of our friends and family. Also he has an awesome portal that he will provide to you to upload your preferred music list for various sections of your event. We had our dream event at the Biltmore Ballrooms in large part of amazing vendors like DJ Dre 1800!

Dre is "da bomb". This is the second wedding we have booked him for. Most recently my Son and DIL, Jonathan and Jordan at Wolf Mountain Vineyards. His enthusiasm and organization is impeccable. He is fun and professional, so easy to work with and knows how to keep a reception alive!! When I need to book another DJ, it will be Dre. He is the GOAT!!

I found DJ DRE while searching for a DJ for our wedding. After reading several reviews we felt he was who we were looking for. From first contact, he was attentive to our needs and inquired about our expectations. The ability to select music that we wanted to hear during our reception was a welcome feature. The planning tools his website offers was a great plus! He sure gave us the party we asked for! Plus, he was able to include some last minute requests for songs during the reception! I can’t say enough on what a pleasure it was to work with him!

DJ Dre is an amazing DJ! He came all the way up to Vermont to DJ our wedding. He got everyone (age 2-75) out on the dance floor for the entire reception and played the perfect mix to keep everyone excited about each song! Several guests commented that they want to hire him in the future! We could not have asked for a better DJ!

DJ Dre 1800 was the easiest vendor choice we made for our wedding! I plan fundraising events for a living and Dre has worked a couple of my events in the past. Every time he worked an event I got people asking me for his card at the end. When my husband and I decided we wanted to go with a DJ I knew exactly who I wanted. Dre is so easy to work with! His website makes planning so easy. At the wedding he really kept the crowd excited, even helping lead a couple of dances to kick things off. As usual, I had several people ask me for his information afterward. Thank you DJ Dre 1800 for helping make our wedding so awesome!
