Randy and Chris were awesome! Randy made the pre planning process so easy. He listened to what we wanted , used our music choices and , blended additional music perfectly with the energy of our guests. Our ceremony was beautiful and the music during cocktail hour was perfect for the setting. They knew exactly what to play to get everyone on the dance floor. We received so many positive compliment's on the flow of the evening. A fun time was had by all! I highly recommend Randy and his team. They are professional, responsive, and knowledgeable. Kathy & Matt A.
John and Randy KILLED IT at our wedding. John blended music we chose with his perfect curation for the night. People still come up to us telling us how good the music was almost two weeks later! Randy made all the introductions and made sure everything happened right on time. I couldn’t be happier with my experience with these guys and would recommend them to anyone looking for a DJ for their wedding or parties
Randy, Chris, and the entire HDE event group were absolutely fantastic to work with! Planning our wedding was easy and very smooth. Even when we had to make changes or adjustments, Randy had zero problems making sure that we got exactly what we envisioned. The day of the wedding went flawlessly. Randy and Chris were so easy to work with throughout each phase of our wedding day. We added a custom LED sign on the white flower wall which looked fabulous and everyone loved it. We also added up-lighting which brought our wedding to the next level and ended up being one of our best decisions. Our family and friends have truly been raving about the music and how everyone was on the dance floor all night. We would book HDE event group all over again in a heartbeat! 10/10 overall experience!
We all know how exciting but at the same time nerve racking planning a wedding can be. Randy and his team are top top notch! We are so happy that we hired HDE for our wedding! Our wedding was this past October, it is now February and we are still having our guest continue to rave about the entertainment. The dance floor was full the entire night! Our DJ Joe to so much time and energy prior to the big day! Their ability to read the crowd and adapt to the energy was amazing! We highly recommend them and cannot thank them enough for making our day unforgettable!
I cannot recommend this team enough! They were incredibly professional and exceeded all my expectations. They worked seamlessly with us and even coordinated with our priest for the ceremony. Honestly, I didn’t think music at my wedding would stand out, especially since my taste in music isn’t typically upbeat or party-oriented, but they ensured that it was a great time for everyone!
The music and dance floor were amazing – multiple guests went out of their way to tell me how much they enjoyed it. I saw my friends who don't even enjoy dancing out there on the dance floor!
Their professionalism and dedication made my wedding day even more special. I am so grateful for them and would 100% recommend their services to anyone looking for an outstanding wedding DJ and team.
I truly can’t express how grateful I am for Randy and his team at HDE events. Randy has been responsive and supportive throughout the entire process of planning the wedding. He is kind, creative, and absolutely wonderful at his job. On the day of my event, everything ran seamlessly. The HDE team had every single person on the dance floor, and played the perfect mix of songs to get everyone up and having fun. Because of them, it was truly the best night of my life. I would recommend Randy and his time to anyone I could over and over because that’s just how amazing they truly are. Great DJ, great hype team, and great people. 15/10 experience! Book them now!!
Would recommend Randy and his team a hundred times over again. The dance floor was never empty the whole night. The MC was high energy and kept all the guests dancing. We never even went to the dessert table because we were having too much fun on the dance floor. Communication was also really great. The photo booth was exactly what we wanted and the photos came out perfect. Will be using them for all future events!
The BEST experience ever. We celebrated our wedding 6/16/2024 at the Westmount Country Club and cannot recommend Randy and his team enough. He completely blew us away with how much he owned the playlist we provided him. They nailed the vibe of the whole wedding and everyone complimented how great of a time they had and how great the music was. I wanted that reminiscent feeling of how weddings used to feel to me growing up and they went absolutely above and beyond with everything. Super sweet, kind, responsive, and overall an amazing amazing experience. Thank you so much Randy & Team! You are the BEST!
We hired HDE for our wedding and they truly exceeded our expectations!! They skillfully curated a playlist that kept everyone on the dance floor the ENTIRE night!! Their ability to read the crowd and adapt to the energy of the moment ensured a lively and memorable atmosphere!! They were extremely accommodating with my specific requests!! From the ceremony to the reception, the DJ's professionalism and attention to detail were remarkable!! We highly recommend them for their contribution to making our special day unforgettable!! Thank you so much. We love you guys!!
We can not thank Randy & his team enough for helping us throw the wedding of the year!! I have known Randy for over 10 years and watched him grow his business from the ground up! The week before our wedding he went through a detailed list of each and every thing we could possibly want to review and no questions were left unanswered! They hit every generation when it came to music selection and they kept the party going all night long. I have to personally thank Randy & his team for reminding us to get and stay on the dance floor! As the bride and groom it can be such a busy, fast, blur of a night and he made sure we soaked in every minute!! My sister/MOH just got engaged and they have already reached out to Randy!! Thank you, HDE!!
I have nothing but great things to say about HDE. We’ve used them for 2 family weddings and both times the music has been amazing. Randy is so professional and responsive making. His stage set up was great and really elevated the look of our event. We’ll definitely be using HDE at the next wedding our family has.
10/10. Randy and the HDE group were AMAZING. Everyone of all ages were able to enjoy themselves and the vibes were ELECTRIC. The dance floor was packed and the energy was high all night. I have 4 weddings to attend next year and have already recommended Randy and his crew. I would get married again just to have this experience. The time, dedication, and communication they had with my best friend made her vision come true!
Randy and the HDE crew were phenomenal from start to finish. Randy spent over an hour on the phone with me going over every detail possible. I had a large wedding and every seat was empty on the dance floor. The energy was unreal. I had guest texting me days, to weeks after about how our DJ was a “chef’s kiss”. He also DJ’d my brothers wedding and our family and friends couldn’t recommend him enough.
I'm very happy with choosing Randy and Johnny and their team for wedding DJ/ MC! I didn't want the whole song to be played and Randy transitioned the songs so well. Johnny kept everyone on the dance floor and was very interactive. My guests raved about the DJ and will possibly use them in the future as well!
IF I COULD GIVE MORE STARS I WOULD!! Randy and everyone at HDE were amazing at our wedding and very easy to work with!! The MC got the crowd going from the very beginning and The dance floor stayed packed all night!!! There was never a dull moment! Not only did Randy and his team set the vibe right from the start with excellent music, but the dancing in clouds, monogram displaying our names, video montage, and the photo booth were all on point!!! People are still talking about all the fun they had that night!! I would very highly recommend Randy and HDE event group for a wedding or any occasion!! I will be using HDE event group for my future parties!!!!!
We loved working with Randy at HDE for our wedding reception. Not only did the music have our guests on the dance floor all night, they also did a beautiful hedge wall and customized neon sign. Our family and friends were taking photos in front of it throughout the whole party. Their team is professional, experts in what they do, responsive and fun to work with. We will definitely use this team again (and recommend to others!) for future events.
I can't say enough great things about Randy and the team. One of the things we got the most compliments on after our wedding was how incredible our DJ was. They had us on the floor all night long and it really felt like they were part of the party! They are incredible at reading a crowd and are the hype men that you need at your wedding. If you're having a winter wedding I also highly recommend their snowfall effect! It was the perfect touch during our first dance at our December wedding and later in the night when we were partying! If you're looking for a sign to book them, let this be it. You will have the best time and will not regret it.
We used HDE at our December wedding and could not have had a better experience. Randy and the team were not only energetic and engaging, they had everybody on the dance floor all night long. In addition to the fantastic music that was played, they also made us a beautiful backdrop for the photo booth. My favorite part of the night was the sparklers that they shot off during our first dance. They also created us an incredible Instagram teaser of our wedding that showed just how much fun we had! HDE went above and beyond and we would absolutely recommend them to anyone who is looking for an entertainment company for any of your party needs.
HDE is the best!! They provided the hedge wall photo booth for our wedding and it was absolutely amazing! Randy is awesome to work with. You create your own custom LED sign with the color and font of your choosing. After the wedding, you get to keep the sign. The hedge wall LED photo booth was a huge hit at our wedding and I highly recommend the HDE team!
My husband and I were recommended HDE by a friend and they did not disappoint!
We had a hard crowd to please with different ages and ethnicities so our song/genre requests were all over the place but Randy read the crowd and got everybody up and moving!
We added on the TV's which were nice to watch photos of during dinner, the Photo Booth which was such a hit the entire time and the "dancing on clouds" which made the moment so much more beautiful!
Music was upbeat, MC was fun and personable, our family was extremely pleased with them and all of our guests had nothing but great feedback on everything, many said it was the best wedding they had ever been to.
Randy was so easy and fun to work with, he really got us pumped for the wedding and after the day was done, even our wedding venue stopped me and said they had never worked with an entertainment team so friendly, fun and cooperative, highly recommend HDE for any party needs!!!
Randy and his team were amazing!!!! They accommodated every request we had and more! They even helped us with a zoom meeting for our guests who couldn’t make it. They really made our wedding day a dream come true and we were beyond appreciative. People could not stop raving about how great DJ Ridd was! We also had a photo booth and they did a phenomenal job as well! Everyone enjoyed it! Everyone of our guests were dancing all night. Thank you HDE! You were amazing and a job well done!
Our Wedding was amazing. HDE EVENTS killed it all night long. There was not a dull moment and they kept the party going. Everyone was out on that dance floor having a great time! Chris was a great MC! He jumps right in and is just a part of the family! He even called us out like a fight before our surprise salsa dance and It was awesome! They take in all your requests and they make it happen. They were punctual and professional. PS: dancing on the clouds makes for such a romantic first dance, we loved it! Having them DJ our wedding was the best decision!!
HDE is amazing!! They had my guests on the dance floor all night. At one point I actually thought the dance floor was going to cave because of how alive the crowd was. DJ Randy played all of the right music based on the vibe of the crowd. The MC was also so helpful through-out the night while transitioning from the ceremony to the cocktail hour to the reception. He mad sure everything went smoothly while also creating a fun and happy atmosphere. I could not recommend them enough!
Randy and his team at HDE brought my photobooth dreams to life! After postponing our wedding due to COVID, we decided to add a photobooth to our reception. I found Randy through the NJ Bride Facebook group - he was incredibly responsive, kind and helpful. He created a hedgewall photobooth with a flower arrangement (that matched our floral designs) and a custom neon sign for us that we got to take home with us that night. It was absolutely beautiful and our guests had so much fun all night. I can't recommend Randy enough - he truly answered all of my questions and worked with us on any changes throughout the entire process. Thank you so much, Randy and team!
I can’t recommend Randy and his team enough!! My husband and I booked with Randy right after we booked our venue and Randy was always just a phone call away to answer any questions/concerns we had. I wanted to take out and add things into our contract and it was never an issue! When it came to our wedding our DJ Tim and MC Johnny were absolutely amazing. They kept the crowd going all night long, played everything we spoke about, took requests from our guest, they really did it all! They made the night so much fun!!!
HDE is not your average run of mill entertainment company. They are family first and want to work with you to make sure that your event is absolutely perfect.
HDE, Randy and company provided DJ entertainment, photo booth, and dancing on the clouds for our wedding.
Working with HDE was the easiest thing to do. Working with Randy to set the song list, must plays & don't plays, Working on the details for the photo booth, and providing a beautiful dancing on the clouds moment for my wife and I on our first dance.
HDE doesn't stop at satisfactory. They constantly are working to provide comfort to couples or who ever is using their services.
When it came to wedding day. And the reception gets start. YOU WANT HDE AS YOUR MC. Randy was on the mic for our wedding and he keeps the energy high all night.
I had a family come up to me and say "family member "x" is dancing, we have never seen them dance" HDE brings thats kind of energy.
HDE provides a sence of comfort for anyone using their services. My wife and I knew once the party was starting. We had nothing to worry about. Nothing but class from HDE.
My wife and I can't thank HDE enough for the amazing unforgettable night.
Randy and his team are the best in the business! From booking to our wedding day, Randy was so helpful and accommodating especially with changed due to COVID. He had our group up and dancing the entire night and I can't wait to hire him for another event!
Randy and his team at our reception were phenomenal! From the start, Randy was very understanding with our preferences and added his own expertise on what would make it the best time. I don't think the dance floor was empty for a single moment the entire night and everyone I spoke to after said it was one of the best weddings they ever went to. My wife and I couldn't have been happier with the job HDE Event Group did at our wedding. Highly recommend!!
After meeting with Randy from HDE we knew they were the DJ for our wedding. He was very reasonable, responsive, and made everything so easy! He made sure all of our music we wanted was played throughout the wedding and most of all had all of our guests dancing. We really wanted to make sure our wedding was fun and upbeat and HDE really nailed it!! The photo booth was a great addition to our wedding as well. They also included a scrapbook with the photo booth which was a nice touch to the package. We can not thank Randy and his team enough for making our wedding perfect in every way. I will definitely be using HDE for all of our future parties!
We husband and I used HDE Event Group back in February for our wedding. We loved the fact that they were able to offer everything that we wanted. Randy was our DJ and we had MC Carlos! They were both phenomenal!!!!!!!! Carlos was very energetic was able to really get our guests going. From the start to the end they had people dancing. I really loved how they mixed up the music throughout the night instead of sticking to one genre. I highly recommend contact HDE for your wedding. You will not be disappointed!!!
Randy and his team were beyond incredible I can’t say enough about how professional they are. From
The beginning of planning our wedding up to the actual day Randy was so easy to get in contact with any questions I had he always answered within a few hours . The day of our wedding was amazing they had everyone up on the dance floor the entire night . I can’t thank Randy enough for making our wedding one to always be remembered
Let's start by saying how Randy, his team and Emcee Alex absolutely blew the roof off of Season's catering at my wedding. I've been to plenty of weddings, as I have a huge family - typically I would say 60-70% of the crowd would come out to dance. At my wedding - it was a different story. Randy had all the guests hyped from the get-go setting the mood for the night. I would say about 90-95% of the 270+ crowd was on the floor as it was packed. The photo booth, backdrop and lighting was on point. They went above and beyond their limitations with extra photos and video - to which I had my own videographer and photographer. Contract phase - simple, easy, responsive. Randy was extremely responsive and most of all listened to our requests in choice of music. Backdrop design was awesome - loved it! I still have guests a month later saying how awesome the wedding was. All thanks to HDE! Check out his video on HDE's Facebook, it speaks for itself. FIVE STARS Randy keep up the good work!
Randy and his team exceeded expectations on the night of the event. Simply over the top service! From the music, the lighting, the photo booth and even capturing every moment with photos on the ground and with a drone! HDE Event Group blew away our expectations. Randy was such a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process and he certainly has a stellar team to support his vision. What a spectacular night! Can't thank Randy enough.
Randy and his crew were amazing! We just had our wedding at the beginning of the month and he listened to all our crazy requests. He was able to accomplish quick changes in songs for surprises even to the groom. We had nothing to worry about the day of the wedding and really got to dance the night away. I would recommend to any couple getting married and wanting to have a blast!
Randy and the HDE Event Group team we’re phenomenal! From the very beginning of our wedding to the last song we had people up on the dance floor without hesitation the entire time! Randy was great to work with, easy to communicate and get in contact with, and everyone was extremely pleased with their team and their professionalism. Extremely greatful for their awesome selection of music and the great entertainment all night long. Thank you so much Randy, I would would highly recommend you and the entire HDE team!
Randy and the HDE Event Group were nothing short of amazing. They were prompt, accurate, and available whenever we had a question or wanted to make a last minute change. They made us feel special and important, not just another wedding. They gave us more than what we asked for. Their videography skills were amazing as well. My guests were dancing all night long, as well as me and my husband. We can’t thank them enough. I HIGHLY recommend using HDE Event Group!
Randy and the team were ON POINT! They kept the dance floor grooving, they were extremely professional and fun at the wedding and SO easy to work with. I would HIGHLY recommend them to any other couple. His pricing was extremely reasonable and you won’t regret a penny, I can guarantee that.
Amazing! can't recommend HDE enough! We were referred to HDE by someone who saw them do a wedding at our venue. They said the dance floor was packed and the energy was amazing . This was so true for our wedding! We found them online and were really impressed by all of their videos. Randy came out of his way to meet us down in Monmouth for a consultation which was really awesome. He made us feel reassured and confident that everything was in good hands! We went for the dancing on clouds, co2 smoke and cannons, monogram, ceremony music and awesome lighting. Our dance floor was packed and everyone is still talking about how amazing the music and all of the extras were! I would use them again and again!! Thank you Randy!

We explained we wanted a party/club like atmosphere during dance sets at our reception and the HDE team delivered big time! Everyone was up dancing all night long having a blast. The MC was absolutely amazing as well! It was honestly the best night of our lives and wouldn’t have been the same without HDE. Randy and his crew really know how to deliver a great party! If I ever needed DJ services in the future or anyone every asked for a recommendation, HDE would be my go to company 100%
Randy was incredible from the first email I sent to him, Always very attentive, flexible and professional.
We had the wedding party with him and was better than we expected. We didn't want the guests to get bored just dancing all night, we made some special requests for types of music and everything was amazing!!!
It was a very beautiful party where music was decisive for that we all have a good time, It was unforgettable, everything was perfect and I thank Randy for the excellent job he did, 5 stars is the minimum he deserves!!
Randy from HDE was the best!!!! When my husband and I first went into the office we had no clue what we wanted. He sat with us for over an hour explaining everything in detail! The planning process was a breeze with him! He always answered our texts and emails in a reasonable time frame. Our wedding was perfect. The dancing on the clouds was a perfect add on for our first dance and the up lighting is a MUST! We would like to thank Randy and his team for making it an amazing night! We all danced the night away!!
My wife and I hired HDE and we couldn’t have been happier! From the flexibility through out the planning process to the music on the dance floor all together they are a 5 star service.

If you are planning your wedding be sure to visit thier office and see what they have to offer! Great job guys!

My husband and I hired Randy and his team for our wedding . From the moment we sat down with Randy and told him our initial vision for the day how we wanted our guests to feel that they were at a night club and have that atmosphere he insured us that he could make it happen . We went with the night club package , TVs, photobooth, co2 jets and cannons to add something fun and unique to our wedding along with the sparkler fountains . I cannot thank Randy and his team enough for making our wedding a truly magical night and a wedding that was one for the books . We will definitely be using HDE event group in the future .

I will definitely be using HDE in the future. Thank you again to the entire crew for making our night one to remember.
We hired HDE for our wedding and everything was beyond perfect. They were very accommodating and flexible when it came to phone conferences and etc. A big plus is that were willing to travel to where our wedding was being held. We used their ceremony services as well. We had nothing to worry about! The music selection was big with us and they nailed it! Towards the end of the wedding they really turned it up and they had everyone dancing until the last song! Thanks again guys for making our wedding amazing!!
We had the most amazing experience working with HDE Event Group! From the initial meeting and all the way up to our wedding day, Randy was extremely thorough and accommodating with our every request. Their professionalism and expert experience in the industry is what made our event the success it was. We didn’t leave the dance floor the entire night. I wish we could relive every moment.
Thank you guys for giving us the best wedding experience ever!!! We couldn’t have imagined a better night. We love you!!
We hired Randy and his crew for our wedding on August 10th. Best decision ever hands down! I knew from the very start of wedding planning, that choosing the perfect DJ was number one on my list. Let’s be for real- the DJ sets the mood for your whole wedding night! I knew right away, after sitting down for coffee with Randy, and going over his amazing add ons, that HDE event group was the dj of our dreams!! Randy was nothing but helpful, flexible and professional up to the day of our wedding. My husband and I wanted a party and Randy delivered. My guests can’t stop talking about the cannons and the whole club atmosphere we had. We literally danced the night away!
