Dre Motion Entertainment

le atmosphere that kept everyone on the dance floor all night long. There was never a dull moment! Deondre’s ability to read the room and play the perfect mix of songs ensured that everyone, from our youngest guests to our grandparents, had an incredible time. His professionalism and enthusiasm were evident, and he truly knows how to get the party started. We received countless compliments from our guests about how much fun they had dancing, and we couldn’t agree more. If you’re looking for a DJ who will elevate your event and keep the energy high, we highly recommend Deondre. Thank you for making our wedding reception such a memorable celebration! Best, Isaiah & Sharon Turner

the whole process breezy and even went above and beyond to alter our recessional song to exactly how we wanted it! Not to mention, our dance floor was packed all night long as he played a party mix of all our favorite genres that our guests really enjoyed. We are so glad we trusted him for our special day!!

t call to the wedding day, he was professional, responsive, and easy to work with. He understood what we wanted for music on our big day. Cannot recommend him enough!

l vision that spanned traditional classical Indian music, 1960s and modern Indian pop, classic rock, funk, and modern dance artists like Chromeo — and DeOndre stitched it all together seamlessly. Every transition felt natural, and he kept the energy exactly where it needed to be at every point in the day. Beyond just the music, he kept the entire flow of events running smoothly, managing a lot of moving parts and last-minute shifts with ease. His background in high-pressure environments definitely showed — everything stayed perfectly on schedule without ever feeling rushed or stiff. DeOndre was also a real pleasure to work with in the lead-up to the wedding. He was responsive, thoughtful, and made the whole process easy for us. We couldn’t recommend him highly enough!

everything we’d hoped for – he had everyone up and moving, and I genuinely wish I could’ve spent more time enjoying it myself! His energy and attention to detail truly made the night memorable. Highly recommend Deondre to anyone wanting a lively and well-coordinated celebration!

the crowd and has excellent music taste. Dre was extremely easy to work with and we could not recommend him more!

special day truly unforgettable. First and foremost, Deondre was an absolute joy to work with. He was thoughtful, educational, professional, and helped us craft our perfect night. His ability to read the crowd and play the perfect mix of songs ensured there was never a dull moment. All of our guests couldn’t resist getting up and dancing! The energy he brought was contagious, and it was clear that everyone was having a blast. Several of our guests told us afterwards that they loved the music and our DJ. Deondre was also a masterful MC. He seamlessly guided the evening’s events from start to finish with professionalism and charisma. He added a personal flair that gave the night a special energy that everyone loved. DJ Dre Motion also managed to incorporate some cultural music into the mix and it was a huge hit for our families! We wanted to celebrate my wife’s heritage and share with our guests, and it was an absolute hit with everyone. The way he blended songs throughout the night was truly something special. Overall, DJ Dre Motion is an outstanding DJ and MC who played a huge role in making our wedding unforgettable. His talent, professionalism, and charisma created an incredible atmosphere that we’ll never forget. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ who can help create memories that will last a lifetime!!! Thank you DeOndre for helping make our wedding day everything we could have dreamed of!

verything running on schedule throughout the night. The music selection was fantastic, catering perfectly to our tastes and keeping the dance floor packed all night long. DeOndre’s skill in reading the crowd and mixing tracks was evident, creating an unforgettable atmosphere for our special day. One of the highlights was having such a great emcee. He seamlessly guided the evening's events, making announcements with charisma and ensuring everything flowed effortlessly. If you're looking for a top-notch DJ who excels in both music and emceeing, this is the one to book for your event! Thank you, DeOndre, for making our night unforgettable!!!

asm effortlessly blended our song requests and special moments into the reception. Our guests had an absolute blast, and we couldn't have asked for a better entertainment experience. We highly recommend extending your time at the venue and adding extra hours with DJ Dre because our guests simply didn't want the party to end!

erall his customer service is phenomenal! The star of the show is his craft and being a great DJ! He took our ideas, as limited as they were, and executed flawlessly. From the guests entering the venue, to cocktail hour music, to the endless dancing on the dance floor, DeOndre had everyone captivated. I am still talking about how amazing the music was. Our guests are still talking about how amazing the music was. When the end of the night came around, I was genuinely sad he had to stop playing. A DJ like no other!! I hope to cross paths with him again and use his skills in another setting! Thank you for everything DeOndre, I couldnt be more appreciative.

to us during and after our wedding saying he was the best DJ they've ever heard at a wedding. Words can't describe how thankful we are!

of show were perfect. Day-of he was a fantastic MC and kept all of our guests energized and on the dance floor; we had a truly special day!

sed my fingers and hoped that the one we hired would be “good enough”. From the first meeting with DeOndre it was clear that we hired someone exceptional and so much more than “good enough”. It’s clear that DeOndre loves his work and takes great care in the planning of his events. I knew he was our guy when he was concerned about the height of the speakers relative to where our wedding guests would be seated, and wanted the sound to be perfect. His voice in the mic throughout the evening was butter and brought both a cool, relaxing vibe, as well as an invitation to dance and party when the time was right. We laughed (adoringly) when he took my music requests and did some live mixing. Deondre is GREAT and I hope you get to enjoy his masterful skills and authentic joy at your event!

o read the crowd, ignores the selections from the couple, or is that cringy "cheesy" DJ. Dre is NONE of those things! He is the ultimate professional, plays amazing mixes, and knows how to both DJ well and MC well. He is the perfect package and the only one I wanted to work with for my own special day! XO

ntion because of a nice mix that he did between two songs. The two songs that he mixed was "Call Me Maybe" - Carly Rae Jepsen and "Cheerleader" - Omi. Such a great mix and it really sold her on choosing him as our DJ for our special day. Deondre was very professional and accommodating throughout our planning that took about 2-3 years. Email was our main avenue of communication and Dre was professional, genuine, and understanding throughout the entire process. The best part was my surprise that I wanted to hold for my wife at our wedding reception. It was difficult because I had to keep it secret and also, I added this a bit last minute about 2-3 weeks prior to the wedding event. I wasn't sure if this performance was going to be possible, but thankfully, we were able to organize it together alongside the coordinator. He was able to provide me with the mic stands and other equipment needed for my performance and it turned out literally like a movie. So thank you Dre for doing that for me. I HIGHLY recommend Deondre and I can't wait to have another event with him again in the future. His music selection was great. We were also able to create a playlist of songs that were our personal requests that we wanted to play during our open dance floor. He offers great options on who can requests it during his set, but we opted for OUR requests only and to ignore everyone else :) -- because you know, things happen so fast during a reception so great songs are a must. And the songs choice that were played really showcased my wife and I's personality and people loved it. Dre, I thank you so much once again for such a splendid and unforgettable event. I have heard many DJ's in my lifetime, but Dre's effort and respect he has for his craft is second to none. Thank you for being a part of my forever and I hope to see you again soon. STOP READING THIS NOW! GO BOOK HIM! You won't regret it!

, organized, and genuinely invested in making sure he gave us the best experience possible. You can tell he has a deep appreciation for music and creating a great atmosphere. His music choices were on point and he had all the intangibles to make our guests feel welcome and excited to hit the dance floor. We have had multiple people ask for him to DJ at their events based on the positive experience at our wedding. Highly recommend!

s. He remembered everything we told him all the music genres that we liked and dislike so he could stay away from those. He’s definitely a great crowd reader so if your crowd isn’t enjoying the music, he can switch it up so fast and get everybody back out on the dance floor. He takes great control over the situation. I am very pleased with the outcome of our event. A lot of it has to do with the music that we played and Dre did a great job if you need a DJ and you’re on the fence on someone definitely give this guy a call because he will go above and beyond and he always makes it happen. Tell him Charles sent you.

mmentary to keep the night moving; arrived early for setup and offered an easy-to-use web tool to share our music preferences and day-of timeline. He listened and played only music/genres we requested. Highly recommend!

thing. One guest said she felt like he took her on a "spiritual musical journey" on our wedding night. We also asked for lots of music in Hebrew since I had family coming from Israel and he easily accommodated this. My sister sang out first dance and he went out of his way to text her to meet for sound check and make sure everything ran smoothly. He is professional and also sets the tone for a really fun night. Can not say enough good things!

d were impressed at the level of detail he can go into about music and even the subliminal effects it can have on the guests of an event. We had a number of nerdy touches to our wedding and loved that he was so into it. We also had lots of obscure music requests for the ceremony and cocktail hour/dinner, and he delivered them with ease, without us ever needing to worry about it. He took the time to get to know us, we had a great time chatting with him, and it showed in the wedding that we got along great. DeOndre met with us on video chats to plan out the music & vibe, and emailed us periodically to lead us through the process. He was totally flexible in terms of letting us directly add songs to his website portal's like, love, and do not like lists. We could have planned out the whole playlist, or just given him a genre or general vibe and let him fill in the specific songs in the moment. He let us choose whether to allow song requests from guests or not, from whom, etc. He gave us total freedom, while also giving us great advice based on his experience. He handled music from before the wedding started (some nice string music prior to the ceremony, which was a nice touch to welcome people) to the very end. He also was a great emcee who initiated all the transitions to the next phase e.g. where to get cocktails, when to sit down for dinner, when to line up for buffet, when the dancefloor is open to all, last call, last song, etc. plus did a great job of introducing the wedding party, parents, bride & groom, etc. and did a great job of getting everyone excited! He also provided the necessary microphones & speakers for the ceremony and the lights for the dancefloor. He even lent me a pin for my suit on the day of that matched our theme, which was a great touch! He really does do it all. Lots of friends are still raving about the music at the wedding and saying "take me back!". He even got my wife's great grandmother onto the dance floor! If you are reading this and he is free on your date, hiring him is a no-brainer!

was easy and prompt. We would gladly refer Dre Motion Entertainment for any event you have in mind.

The day of our wedding went smoothly and the music was exactly as we wanted and envisioned. He was the life of the party and the dance floor was packed the whole night! DeOndre was thoughtful, professional, and fun! He made our special day even more special and would recommend him to anyone having a wedding/event in the San Diego area. If we have an event that requires a DJ in the future, we are going straight to DeOndre.

g and definitely came through on our wedding day. All of our guests complimented the music and what a great time they had! DeOndre was even able to get my modest, reserved and shy aunties out onto the dance floor which is a huge accomplishment!! He worked amazingly with our vendors and family members giving speeches in order to keep everything flowing nicely with our wedding timeline. Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had and how great DeOndre was a month later! We would highly recommend DeOndre for any of your DJ and emcee needs!

ng our ceremony, happy hour and reception and did a great job of just helping to run the overall night accordingly. DeOndre had the dance floor full the entire night and all our guests raved about how the music was SO GOOD. He is extremely talented at his craft and I would HIGHLY recommend to any brides/couples who want to spend a little extra on music!

and mic'ed up when appropriate. Played great music during our cocktail hour, and absolutely brought down the house during our reception. I didn't think there was someone that could blend Taylor Swift and Fall Out Boy back to back but DeOndre can do it and make it look easy. We had a few hiccups during the wedding day and he was also flexible and accommodating with no questions asked. If you're even here looking at this review do yourself a favor and book DeOndre, you won't regret it!

ing a playlist that all my guests would enjoy and when we started planning music genres for different stages within the wedding day-night...I was at a loss. Thankfully, DeOndre relieved all of my fears and concerns because he truly is a professional and is full of talent. I gave him a few ideas of what I envisioned and how the music could contribute to it and DeOndre delivered. I found myself swaying and dancing the entire night (even during dinner!!) because he nailed my music taste right on the head and it fit with our wedding theme perfectly. All of our guests loved the playlist and DeOndre made sure to accommodate the music preferences of some of our older guests to ensure everyone was enjoying themselves. Honestly, you cannot go wrong with DeOndre for your DJ-ing needs!

the time to get to know us and our taste in music and was extremely knowledgeable and professional. My husband and I were clueless when it came to weddings and DeOndre made the entire process seamless and stress free, he made sure everything was perfectly suited for us. We have gotten countless compliments on how great the music at our reception was and we couldn't be happier with the vibe he set for the whole night!

ould have expected day of and delivered as such. Our guests complimented his energy and his ability to mix one great song after another. Looking forward to working with him in the next event that we need a DJ for. Thanks DeOndre!

my mind about who I was going to call. Out of every dj I have ever worked with, he is unmatched. His mixing skills are just insane, he is a great MC, and he kept my party going until the last possible moment. Hire him immediately… I promise there isn’t better in san diego.

e submitted to the form on his website and he took care of everything from there. He's incredibly professional - he's more than a DJ. He's a performer and really is able to adjust to the style and tone of your event. We went through all the details by completing a detailed form to provide him with a lot of information about us, our bridal party, and our preferences. He then took that information and was able to put together an incredible flow for our event, including introductions/announcements/reception traditions (like bouquet toss), etc. He's thorough and will give you examples of different tones he can use for intros, etc. and he'll be as involved in getting your party going as you want. You'll also get a client login to his website where you can make song selections and another login for your guests to make requests ahead of time (we included the link on our wedding website/RSVP page). ALL of our guests commented how awesome he was and how good our music was. Months later, we're still having people tell us how much fun they had dancing at our reception and that's all because of DeOndre. We gave him a sense of what we liked but gave him the space to do his thing and he delivered! He's great at his craft, so let him get creative and you will not be disappointed. We also utilized his lighting services. We did uplighting and pinpoint lighting on our cake. It was all perfect and we highly recommend using him for lighting because he basically sets the entire mood with his lights/sounds.

tic job getting our guests pumped up!

I made. The first initial meeting with him blew us away that we had to book him immediately. Unfortunately, we had to postpone our wedding due to Covid but he was very accommodating with moving dates with no issues. He was so helpful from beginning to end that he ended up being one of our favorite vendors. He's legit and very detail oriented. He even helped with our wedding timeline. The whole planning process with him was smooth and easy. Not only is he a dope DJ, he's a great MC as well. He has that radio voice that definitely stands out to be able to get everybody's attention. We got a lot of great comments from our guests about Deondre. To top it off, he had the dance floor going off at the end of the night. Trust me, if you're looking for a DJ who takes his job serious, book Deondre.

hypeman- wedding host you could possibly imagine!!! Deondre helped us pick the perfect songs, created custom uplighting to match the ambiance of the moment, got out on the dance floor with us and even he made us a custom ceremony blend and first dance mash up (and executed it flawlessly). He was also super easy to work with even in those hectic last days leading to the wedding. Overall, he kept the dance floor packed and really nailed the vibe of the entire day. I can’t count the number of compliments we got about our wedding being the best and it absolutely was because of Deondre. He’s the missing piece to your wedding/event you never knew you needed!! Seriously book him now what are you waiting for?!?

er our first video conference with him. His website is very user-friendly and easy to upload your requests. I wish we could have another reception just to have DeOndre again! Our group danced so hard that the dance floor broke. Everybody was dancing the entire time, which is exactly what we wanted! It was so much fun. People could not stop talking about how great of a dance party it was. All props to DeOndre! He is an amazing MC as well, very professional. From the ceremony, to cocktail hour, dinner music, to the dance party, he killed the music game. Guests were so impressed with his DJ skills! Hire him for your wedding and you will not be disappointed!

at he was our guy. He is a true professional through and through. Picking a DJ is probably the most important vendor selection of the wedding process and you can’t go wrong with this man! He was extremely organized and process oriented, probably because of his military background, and he has veteran skills mixing music, with a big personality to make him the total package. The important details (song selections, flow of the event) were discussed beforehand, but he was able to feed off of the guest’s energy during the moment and keep the party going. His online tool was so helpful while we were gearing up for the big day. He also allowed some customization, like using different “walk out” songs for each bridesmaid/groomsmen combo. He took control of the room as a true professional and made sure everyone left a sweaty mess from hitting the dance floor. Again, thank you DeOndre, and to anyone making the important choice of picking a DJ, look no further...he’s the man!

Ondre. I used to think being a DJ was easy. I mean, make a spotify playlist, plug in your phone, push play. I could not have been more wrong. Watching him work and seemlessly mix music on the spot was amazing. However, the thing that left me the most in awe and gave me a newfound respect for the craft was how he was able to read the vibe of the crowd and move on to the next song in order to keep the dance floor alive. I cannot thank him enough for being a huge part of why our wedding was a massive success.

midst of the crowd stood a group of adventurers, two female and two male. The ladies had joined forces to outfit their individual expeditions, and had dragged their somewhat unwilling male companions along. The doors finally opened, and they were briefly dazzled by bright lights and sounds. The entire hall was filled from end to end with rows of neat and orderly stalls. Vendors stood before each booth, all vying for one's attention. Some were selling or renting equipment, but there were also mercenaries offering their services for a fee. While the ladies began flitting from booth to booth, seeing what would benefit their parties best, one of the male companions, trudging along in the back, suddenly stopped. He noticed a booth that the others had overlooked. A single bard stood there, with only a table and his instrument before him. There were bards for hire aplenty this in market, but most had pre-recorded renditions of their songs. This one was performing live, his fingers dancing across the switches and buttons. His body was constantly in motion, and he was completely enthralled in his own music. The group stopped and spoke with him. He was an experienced mercenary, skilled in both the ways of the sword and the board. And in a live demonstration, he managed to seamlessly intertwine all of their individual tastes in music in an unbroken medley. A decision was made. The ladies hired him for BOTH of their parties, and none of them had any regrets. He was a true asset to each group, and would be for any others who needed a talented bard who would light up the field with his songs. ------------------- No, seriously guys, DeOndre is THE person you want to hire for your wedding, or really any event where you need a rad emcee with a golden voice who can also mix music that everyone will be able to get down to. He also is a big D&D and general gaming nerd, which was perfect because my now-husband and I were planning a hugely geeky wedding. For example, my husband wanted to walk down the aisle to the "Terran Two" song from Starcraft, and I wanted a specific song from Legend of Mana, etc. I only provided the song titles and the ceremony was absolutely flawless. He also played instrumental arrangements from video games for the pre-ceremony music, and our equally geeky guests really enjoyed trying to identify which games the songs were from. For the reception, I wasn't a fan of the idea of our guests clinking glasses to get us to kiss, so I arranged a game instead. I got a giant d20, and I asked DeOndre to play the role of Dungeon Master/DM and introduce our guests to the rules of the game. (Basically, they had to hit a natural 20 to get us to kiss.) Of course, DeOndre absolutely delivered, with the all of the gravitas and drama one would expect of a DM. Last but not least, DeOndre was an amazing DJ, and kept the guests who loved to dance on the floor. He knows exactly what the people want to hear! And I wasn't kidding in my story above, my friend and I both hired DeOndre for our weddings. We received so many compliments about him from our guests, and a friend who went to both our weddings got engaged recently and wants to have him at hers! Just hire him for all of your geeky and non geeky weddings and events! He will surely lead your party to success.

the best party with the greatest vibe! Our family and friends were on the dance floor all night, and are still talking about how much fun they had and how great the music was. He really knows how to read a room and how to keep everyone engaged. Definitely go for the up-lighting as well; it really helps set the mood and was a great touch. Would definitely hire DeOndre again for other events!

s fit our personalities and kept the party going all night!! When we did the first meeting with him after seeing his demo, it was a no brainer. Every meeting after that, and on the wedding day itself, he blew us all away. All our guests were complimenting us telling us we had THE best DJ they have ever seen. Trust me, if you're looking for someone who takes music seriously and is also able to host just as good, THIS IS YOUR GUY. He made our wedding so special, so epic, and 2 months later we are still getting comments about how our music was amazing. Put it this way, DeOndre is so good we have been trying to think of another reason to throw a party and book him just for fun. I can't recommend him more!!!!!! Thank you DeOndre for not only helping orchestrate the wedding of our dreams but for amping the party up and keeping it going ALL NIGHT. You are THE BEST!!!

ndre was on point! He was so professional, fun, and sooo great at what he does! In our first meeting he was getting to know me and what type of music I liked and what I was hoping the vibe to be like at the reception...a few minutes later..BOOM! He mixed on the spot exactly what I was hoping for! Our ceremony and reception were in two different locations, and DeOndre took care of both! He was so organized and knew the schedule so well! All the songs we chose were played exactly when they needed to. We also added the light features and GOBO to our reception which was sooooo fun! It made everything look so great! The lights changed with the dancing, and the GOBO shown beautifully on our dance floor! We definitely recommend DeOndre for your next event!! He takes partying to the next level!! You won’t regret it!!
