Dre is the absolute best dj and hype man anyone could ever ask for at their wedding!! He made sure the dance floor was alive and full of energy throughout the entire reception and ...
there truly was never a dull moment with him!! Dre is fantastic at reading the room and adjusting the music to match the vibe to ensure everyone has a great time throughout the night!! I absolutely loved how he had several mics to handout for anyone who wanted to sing along and how he was always there singing & dancing with everyone as well. Dre also ensured the music for the ceremony was timed perfectly and allowed everyone to truly be present in the moment. I cannot thank Dre enough for his contribution to my wedding day and would chose him over & over again :))
We LOVED Dre!! I cannot say enough fabulous things about him. A month later, our guests still tell us that our dancefloor was the most fun that they had ever been a part of. Dre ke...
pt the party going and knew how to read an audience of all ages and backgrounds. He was funny and interactive without being intrusive. Multiple guests even took his business card at the end! If he is available for your date, BOOK HIM!
The DJ might just be your most important decision when planning a wedding. Music controls the mood—and it is the DJ who coordinates the music. The DJ truly can make or break your e...

Dre took the time, speaking with us and getting a thorough understanding of our music tastes and the type or vibe we wanted. He gave very good, honest feedback that really helped us build the perfect playlist that represented us as a couple. His glow and his energy was infectious, and he did a phenomenal job of working the crowd and pumping them up
Dre is a true professional, and he also has a genuine passion for what he does. When talent and passion collide, it makes something that can’t be matched. Our wedding night was unforgettable—from the music during our ceremony, to cocktail hour, first dances, throughout dinner, and on into the night—everything was perfect. Dre is the best DJ we’ve ever seen, and he has a real gift for his work!
Trust the reviews. DJ DRE IS THE RIGHT CHOICE.
While I hardly ever leave reviews unless I believe there is something that should really be communicated to shoppers out there, but ...
for this vendor, I've made an exception. Truly, DJ Andre was one of our best wedding vendors, and it wasn't only because he helped curate a wedding playlist of bangers (our wedding was 4 months ago and we've still gotten comments from attendees about how fun our reception was and about how much everyone enjoyed the music). Rather, it's because he, despite being busy continually, always made the time to be present, accomodating, and even encouraging during a period of emotional highs and lows (i.e., wedding planning). DJ Dre made us feel comfortable, confident that he was prepared, and he was prepared every step of the way. We had an outdoor wedding with an indoor reception. Everyone loved the Photo Booth add-on also. Vendors really help shape your day; and this was time and money well spent (and, honestly, for a competitive price considering I was getting higher quote from other DJ's whose personalities I didn't feel all that great about). Go with the Dre, folks!
DJ Dre is the BEST! From the moment we booked him I knew he’d be amazing. He was so professional, made it so easy for us to upload music and pick which songs we wanted and made eve...
rything so smooth. This is your sign to book him!!!

at a great time everyone had my Wedding from the ages of 20 to 70 Thank you for creating a great mix.
If packing out the dance floor is important to you -- like it was for me and my husband -- hire Dre, immediately. Between my husband and myself, we've seen about a dozen wedding DJ...
s and Dre was far and away our favorite we've ever seen. Music is an integral part of our relationship and we both LOVE to dance so our DJ was a hugely important choice for us. We couldn’t have been happier with DJ Dre. He took our playlists & genre requests and elevated them, played off the crowd, and was even out there with us, singing along and cutting a rug. He cleared everything with his beforehand so he knew what we were and were not comfortable with, including guests requesting songs, the aforementioned dancing, and any shoutouts. He was so cheerful, enthusiastic, and warm. You can tell Dre loves what he does! Our dance floor was packed out all night and, if you want yours to be the same, hire DJ Dre!
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 & flow...
ed 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!
Myself and my wife got married in February and we wanted to extend our sincerest gratitude for the exceptional service at our wedding. Specifically DJ Dre’s professionalism, attent...
ion to detail and talent; made our day truly special. The contributions were invaluable and greatly appreciated! 10/10 recommending DJ Dre every chance I get!
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. D...
re 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!!
DJ Dre is an absolute gem!! The utmost professional with a heart of gold, we felt like we had known him for years from the very first phone call! He was extremely attentive and re...
sponsive 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!! Book him as soon as you pick a date because he comes HIGHLY recommended and for very good reason!!
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 di...
scuss 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!
I would highly recommend Dre for any of your DJ needs. His personality and professionalism was incredible. His open mind and ability to keep everybody entertained the entire time w...
as amazing. From start to finish Dre, exceeded all of our expectations and we couldn’t be happier. We even had individual in the wedding party talk about hiring him for her wedding soon!
We had Dre DJ our wedding and it was the best decision EVER! We had an amazing time and our guests could not stop talking about how much fun they had! I gave Dre a ridiculous amoun...
t of songs as “examples” of what I wanted and he executed the night perfectly!!
Dre made our reception a party! We had the best time. He is THE ONLY DJ I would ever reccomend now. We had people dancing all night. The party never stopped.
DJ Dre was awesome!! He really brought the party to life and was everything we were looking for and more in a DJ!
Dre and his DJs are amazing. Incredible personalities, great equipment and fabulous DJ skills. We have SO much fun dancing the night away with DJ Estebon - he’s a great dancer too!...
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 m...
an 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 everythi...
ng 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 pla...
nning 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. Fro...
m
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 rec...
eption. 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 per...
fect 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!
Dre was amazing. Our dance floor was PACKED all night which is saying a lot during a pandemic! ha! He was so much fun, everyone loved him. Got out on the dance floor with us and wo...
rked with us every step of the way. If you are in the atlanta metro area PICK HIM!
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 duri...
ng 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!
DJ Dre was hands down the best DJ I’ve ever seen at an event! He had the best positive energy from start to finish. He was very engaged with the guests and was able to read the cro...
wd 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!
DJ DRE is the full package. He knows how to interact with the wedding planners, bride and groom and best of all, guests. He spends most of his time interacting with the crowd creat...

Absolutely amazing!!
Engaged everyone!
Happy, excited, played great music!
Would recommend to everyone!!!!
Fantastic DJ and energy maker to create a fun night. For long periods none of our 150 guests were in their chairs. Young, more seasoned guests all on the dance floor. Maintained...
schedule in a smooth manner. Everyone was a fan. Thank you DJ Dre!
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 :)
DJ Dre is absolutely amazing! He was actually the DJ at some families wedding, and we knew we needed him for our wedding too. He is such a fun and kind person. We are a COVID weddi...

t! We had the time of our lives!!
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!
DJ Dre got the party started and kept it going all night long. He is so friendly, warm, and most of all... great at what he does! Cannot recommend him enough
If you are looking for the BEST DJ ever, DJ Dre is your man. He was seriously the most fun and kept the fun going all night. He is so nice, so easy to work with, and so awesome! He...

Oh my goodness, greatest DJ of all time. We are almost at 3 weeks post wedding and people are still talking about DJ Dre! He was so personable, got the people dancing and was just...

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 pa...
rty. 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 cours...
e 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!
