About this vendor
I understand the importance of your Event.
Who has the right to say that they are the best Wedding DJ in Erie, PA? Not me, I let my clients tell me how I am doing. If you need someone who understands that this is probably the most important day of your life, then set up a meeting and find out some of the options available to you. Weddings can be stressful and expensive. I can help you alleviate some of that stress. As far as price is concerned, My Wedding services depend greatly on the needs of my clients. I have a wide variety of options for you to choose from. People often ask me if I get bored doing weddings; Absolutely not! I love what I do and constantly update what I bring to your event. Being a Full-Time Wedding DJ, I work 40 - 60 hours a week on my business, just as you would doing what you do, so you can only get better if you stay focused and again enjoy what you do. There are some excellent Wedding DJs in Erie and there are some Erie DJs that have absolutely no business performing at weddings. Just like there are Good Doctors and Bad Doctors (Auto Mechanics, Lawyers, etc.). Try to choose a professional that is a good match for you and your event. Also, go with your gut. That is the first reaction you have when you are introduced to a person or situation. If you don't need my services, but do need advice, contact me. I don't mind helping or pointing you in the right direction. I travel to Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Buffalo and further if needed.

Shawn was the best DJ we could have asked for! The music choices kept people dancing and he knew exactly what to do and when! Thank you for making our wedding wonderful!
From the start, DJ Shawn was professional and extremely communicative. He is such an optimistic guy and truly makes your wedding night memorable. He cares about you and your wants and then delivers beyond that. My family is not one to dance yet his DJ skills brought our whole family and friends onto the floor…AND THEY STAYED OUT THERE. He made the night so lively and perfect, I had the best time. His announcing skills are top notch and has great stage presence. If you are considering the rockstar entrance for a wedding, do it! You will never regret it. Such a special moment shared with my husband as we entered for the first time as Mr. and Mrs. We cannot recommend DJ Shawn enough… he is great at his craft and has such a special talent for it. He also helped us run a smooth schedule and we appreciated that immensely. Our hearts are so full…Thank You DJ Shawn!
Shawn was super professional and on top of everything! He made sure our night moved smoothly, coordinated with our photographers, and made sure to keep the songs coming! We also loved having the Photo Booth and seeing everyone’s silly pics!
SHAWN WAS GREAT! He played the music we asked for, kept us on schedule and made sure we knew what we were doing and where we needed to be, it was like having a coordinator and a DJ in one! Shawn's energy matched ours and more, we couldn't have asked for a better DJ. We also got the photo booth which was an amazing touch and ran smoothly as well. Thank you Shawn and Gianna for making our day special and amazing!!!
DJ Mike from Memories in motion did a great job keeping the vibes going. He also worked well with my other vendors for a seamless fun night!
Shawn was AMAZING!! He made it so easy for everyone to get to the dance floor! He was extremely easy to work with and made the entire night so much fun! 100000/10 would recommend!!
Shawn is a true professional who loves his craft and makes your life easy! I loved working with him! He made our day so special and really was the glue holding it all together!
When I tell you Shawn went above and beyond, I AM NOT KIDDING!!! I come from a big sicilian family, and he please every single person in that room, I am still getting compliments on him nearly a week after our wedding. He was professional, he checked everything by me (the bride) first, and not to mention his talent... Everyone was dancing for hours! We even kept the party going an extra hour just because it was going that unbelievably amazing. We only wanted older kinds of music, and he kept the party going through every generation and genre! I cannot recommend this man enough!
We also added the photobooth and I am so grateful that we did. The day after our wedding, we loved going through the book and all of the pictures on the computer.
Thank you Shawn, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. You were truly a blessing. Thank you.
We cannot speak more highly of DJ Shawn and his efforts to make our wedding party the best! He went above and beyond all expectations and even helped us try to correct any hiccups that we may encounter as first time wedding party planners. Shawn, and I don’t have any other way of saying it, legitimately only wants you to enjoy your day and will not stop until that is accomplished. Fantastic with communication and with a happy heart, I would suggest DJ Shawn and Memories in Motion to ANYBODY!
With Love,
J.A. and Kayla Santangelo
Shawn was amazing! He made sure that every song we wanted played and that the vibe of the night never died! He is so thorough and really paid attention to every detail. For the mother/son dance, he paid attention to my husband for the cut-off even when we never told him it was going to be cut short. He went above and beyond any expectation. We would 100% recommend him to anyone!
Shawn was such a great DJ for our wedding. He knows what he's doing and makes sure everyone has a good time. He made sure to play the songs we wanted played and based off the songs we liked he played music that kept people dancing all night. He loves what he does and it shows and we can't thank him enough for making our dance floor fun and keeping people entertained! It wouldn't let me upload pics but check his pictures out on his Facebook - Shawn Steele.
Shawn was absolutely wonderful! I was nervous because I wanted specific music for the ceremony & he was able to find it & executed it perfectly! He was a great DJ & kept everyone dancing all night! We got so many compliments! The lighting and effects were so cool!! Thank you so much Shawn, I’d recommend you to any & everyone!
Shawn was an awesome DJ at our wedding! He knew exactly what to play to keep everyone dancing. He also did a super awesome job at keeping the night on schedule, which we really appreciated. Highly recommend!
Shawn, we are so so happy we chose you to DJ at the biggest party of our lives! We found Shawn after searching for wedding vendors online and we are glad we did. Shawn arrived promptly to set up for our ceremony and stayed as late as the party did! Shawn made the whole process of preparing for our big day effortless. We kept in touch the many months up to the big day to make sure everyone was on the same timeline and boy did everything go perfectly. We cannot thank him enough for truly exceeding our expectations!
All I wanted for my wedding reception was a dance party, and Shawn DELIVERED. He did an excellent job reading the room and keeping the party going. He was prepared with all of the sound equipment for our ceremony and even seamlessly got a microphone to my partner and I for our vows mid ceremony without being told we’d need them beforehand. All communication with Shawn was quick and easy. My partner and I had no idea what we were doing, and Shawn guided us through planning out the timeline of the whole night while giving us the perfect amount of space to make it our own. One of my personal favorite things that he did for us on our wedding day was tell us how to cut our wedding cake before it was announced. It was a detail I had never considered, and it was just one less thing to think about when the time came. So many of our guests said they had a great time dancing at our wedding. Thank you, Shawn! 10/10!
If you want your event to be absolutely spectacular then I highly recommend booking Memories in Motion! Shawn Steele knocked it out of the park, we cannot thank him enough for what an outstanding job he did getting everyone out on the dance floor. He was so accommodating and set the bar high for the whole night. He played fantastic music, with very little direction from us, and somehow also managed to snap some great photos! Thanks to him we had the best night of our lives!!!
“Memories in Motion” and DJ Shawn exceeded all our expectations on our special day. From the moment we first contacted them, their professionalism and enthusiasm were evident. DJ Shawn’s incredible talent as an MC kept the reception flowing smoothly, and the energy on the dance floor was contagious. The music selection was spot on, catering to all age groups and ensuring everyone had a blast. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how much fun they had, and it was all thanks to DJ Shawn’s exceptional skills. We highly recommend “Memories in Motion” for any event; they truly made our wedding unforgettable!
Shawn Steele is an amazing DJ! He was highly recommended by many locally, and he lived up to the hype. He made sure things ran smoothly without having to rely on us too much, so we could have more fun! In his words, he "took all of our stress" and facilitated logistics, announcements, and a great selection of dancing music. All of our guests had a blast and he kept everyone up and dancing the whole night. We are thrilled with Shawn's work and will happily recommend him to others!
Shawn was recommended to us by others and we are so glad we chose him for our big day! He was very attentive to our wants and needs leading up to the wedding day. On the day of, he kept the crowd very engaged with his music choices, and catered to all of the generations! Our grandparents, parents, young cousins, etc were all on the dance floor! We couldn’t be more thankful and appreciative for his help in making our day so special. We would highly recommend!
Shawn was fantastic. He takes the time with you and listens to what you want. He offers suggestions to keep the flow going but doesn't pressure you to change your vibe. He did a great job keeping us on schedule and worked the timeline with the photographer. He would seek us (Bride and Groom) out to keep us posted on what was coming up next so we were prepared. He kept people dancing and even threw in some slow songs (and country) for us- which tends to clear the floor at other events. But his timing was right and people still danced. Shawn keeps the energy going that makes you want to keep on dancing and celebrating with your family and friends! HIGHLY recommend!! Shawn Steele does NOT disappoint:-)
Shawn Steele is the perfect combination of professionalism combined with a personality that ensures a fantastic party. Our wedding reception was absolutely perfect, and Shawn was instrumental in ensuring the evening went as planned. Countless guests commented on his ability to keep the party going all while playing the songs we had requested. A hands down win in all respects, and we could not recommend more highly.
I second what EVERYONE else has said; Shawn was amazing at our wedding on 10/8! Even with a few snafu's here and there (running late, family dynamics, COLD WEATHER in an outdoor venue), Shawn kept the party going and guests warm by keeping the music going and people on the dance floor, maintaining a timeline, and making sure important family traditions were completed before the photographers (Alyssa Wales and 2nd Erica...also wonderful!). He was wonderful in song suggestions with me being an indecisive bride, having a worksheet to use as a guide, and his opinion and expertise was invaluable. Easy to work with, easy to talk to! There is no way you could go wrong with him at your event of any kind!
Shawn was seriously the absolute best!! he kept in constant contact with me and made me feel at ease. He was able to direct the entire wedding party to and from different events throughout the wedding. He made everything go so smoothly. He kept everybody dancing all night long. Never a boring moment with him. I would highly highly highly recommend him to absolutely anybody who wants to have a perfect wedding day.!!!
Shawn did an amazing job at our wedding! From set up start of ceremony, to end of night lights on, he was wonderful! I choose Shawn as our DJ after interviewing a few others because he made me feel confident that he would take care of the night and as the bride and groom, we would not have to worry about a thing! And he was right! We booked about a year in advance and the whole process was smooth and great. Shawn reads the crowd and knows what to play and when to play it to keep the crowd going. We danced all night long and I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Shawn. Our guests raved about him as well. Would definitely recommend him for your next event!
Rick did a wonderful job at our ceremony and reception. He was well dressed, personable, and worked well with the staff at the venue. He was very thorough during our preliminary meeting, answered texts and emails in a timely fashion, and did exactly what we asked him to do. His playlist was spot on. We were happy that he was available!
My husband and I booked Shawn as we were given his name by a relative. However, we did not just choose Shawn because of the contact provided to us, we choose Shawn because we liked his personality and responsiveness to messages. Shawn is so easy to work with and is always on top of all communication. As our wedding date approached he was sure to reach out and make sure we felt comfortable with all the plans we had in place already and even just to check in with us and see how we were feeling pre-wedding! Shawn made us feel so comfortable on the day of our wedding because he handled EVERYTHING! He handled the timeline, making sure our guests knew about what was going on, and keeping my husband and I on schedule too! He also knows how to throw a pretty good PARTY! Our guests were dancing all night and we had so much fun out on the dance floor! Thank you so much Shawn! If you're in need of a wedding DJ, we highly recommend Shawn and Memories in Motion!
Had our wedding August 21, 2021 and Shawn was incredible. He is responsive and will help guide you through any questions you may have. I was always worried my wedding would be like everyone else's I had been to where no one really danced except for a handful of people, but Shawn got the crowd going and our dancefloor was filled!! First time I've ever seen that at a wedding. He was so easy to work with and anything we asked of him - he did with no complaint! As a bride I did not have to worry about when things needed to happen because Shawn kept track of the schedule and made sure we did everything we needed to on time such as cake cutting, money dances, speeches, etc. My husband and I could not recommend a better DJ than Shawn!!! You will not regret it!
We had the best time at our wedding! Shawn was already booked for our date, so he kindly set us up with another DJ (Rick Fresch) who was wonderfully professional, organized, and fun to work with. Rick communicated closely with us until the VERY last second to ensure our ceremony went off without a hitch, and our guests danced the night away under beautiful lights.
I felt pretty clueless going into this process, and Rick and Shawn both made the process so easy and comfortable. I can't recommend this company enough!
Shawn is extremely friendly and professional. Unfortunately we did not get to utilize his services due to COVID-19, however he was extremely supportive and ensured we were taken care of completely. We would highly recommend Memories in Motion for any event!
Even though we didn’t end up having our wedding due to COVID-19, Memories in Motion was great to work with. Shawn and Mike were both very professional and easy to get ahold of. They gave us zero problems about getting our deposit back when the wedding was canceled, and I have no doubt they would’ve been fantastic on the day of our wedding. I would highly recommend them and will be using them in the future if we decide to reschedule our wedding!
Ashley and I envisoned a wedding where the dancing never stopped all night. We had a fairly small guest list so we were concerned about keeping the dance floor filled. That wasn't a problem with DJ Shawn Steele. He was accomodating to our late decision making and after a thorough conversation with Ashley he did the rest.
He helped with the sound for our ceremony, pumped the crowd up for the grand entrance just like we wanted, and knew just what to play all night.
Shawn was very attentive, noticing when the best man didn't have a drink in his hand for the toast, and reminding us when it was time to cut the cake because we had gotten caught up in the fun.
At the end of the night, we had a fireworks show and Shawn surprised us with speakers outside and coordinated music to the show making a perfect end to the evening.
We would absolutely book him again!
We miss our wedding day immensely, but we have great memories thanks in no small part to Shawn. Thanks for everything!
Shawn was the most professional DJ I've ever worked with. He made my wedding the best it could have possibly been. He did our ceremony and reception music and everyone had a good time. He will work with you on every little detail and is extremely thorough. You can tell he takes pride in his work. My guests say my wedding was the best they've been to in a long time and I attribute that to Shawn. Not only did he make a custom playlist for my husband and I, he helped us with taking large group photos, playing the shoe game, and he single handedly ran the reception and kept it on-time. I was not stressed about much and was able to enjoy my wedding reception. Thank you Shawn!
Shawn was the perfect DJ for our wedding day. He kept everyone dancing throughout the whole night, and everyone genuinely had a great time. He did a great job keeping us on schedule the entire night and kept the reception flowing smoothly. He was extremely easy to work with and very professional. We would highly recommend Shawn to anyone planning a wedding!
BEST DJ EVER! Shawn you made our night amazing! Couldn't have picked a better DJ! The music for the ceremony was absolutely beautiful and sooooo fitting. You got everyone on the dance floor, even for a small wedding. You added a personal touch which was well received by all. We wish we could give you 100 stars because 5 is simply not enough. Thank you so very much! Can't say that enough. Sincerely, Mr. & Mrs. Jason & Ellen Barrett.
You can tell Shawn enjoys what he does! He was very thorough in tracking down our fairly eclectic song choices and making sure they were the right versions. We appreciated his experience when we were stressing out (it rained twice and we realized last minute she couldn't step backwards in her dress, forcing us to throw our prepared choreography entirely out the window) and he gently helped keep us on track.
Definitely recommended!
We could not have picked a better DJ for our wedding! Shawn was amazing throughout the entire process! We met with him before our big day to discuss what the entire ceremony and reception was going to look like! We left his office with 100% confidence that he was going to make our day exactly the way we wanted it! Everything ended up being even better than we expected! He was working with the venue coordinator, photographers, and videographers and I didn't even realize it! He was making sure they were all where they needed to be for the entire night, so they didn't miss anything that we had planned! He has the best up-lighting, monogram, slide-show, photo booth and larger than life sparklers allowing us to have a rock star entrance! Once the dancing started- it lasted for 3.5 hours and the dance floor was packed the entire night! Everyone was dancing- grandparents, parents, and our high school and college friends. He played the perfect music that people couldn't help but get up and dance to! I cannot say enough good things about Shawn! We got dozens and dozens of compliments about him and I would never recommend anyone other than Shawn Steele from Memories in Motion!
DJ Shawn Steele was a pleasure to work with from the very beginning of our interaction. During our information gathering phase when we were trying to decide how to handle the music at our reception, Shawn was responsive and informative, but never pushy. There are so many things you have to think about when planning a wedding and ideally the DJ should not be something you have to spend a lot of time on. Shawn got whatever information he needed from us and then assured us that everything would be taken care of, and it was! He took time to meet with us a few weeks before the wedding to go over our plan for the reception. He had some really helpful suggestions, but also really emphasized that this was our day and we were in charge. One thing we really appreciated was that he told us to let him do the stressing for us! We were instructed to just let go and enjoy our day, and that's what we did. When it came time for the reception itself, DJ Shawn did a great job coordinating with the wedding party to make sure everyone knew what to do and where to be. He brought incredible energy to the room and put together a phenomenal playlist. Since it was an afternoon reception we weren't sure how many people would dance, but he still got our guests out on the floor! We really appreciated his friendliness, professionalism, his obvious enjoyment of his work, and his effort to make our day perfect. If you want a fun reception, great music, and the ability to relax on your wedding day and know that the details are taken care of, we highly recommend DJ Shawn.
Shawn was AMAZING! He answered any and all questions, big or small! From our ceremony to our awesome reception, Shawn had us crying, laughing, and dancing all night! He knew our game plan for our ceremony and stuck with it. He wasn't pushy about this or that! He asked us questions to get the best out of our amazing ceremony, and delivered! Our reception was just AWESOME! He knew our likes and dislikes(he follows it so well that he had to make sure he could play a song on our no play list. Had to oblige my Aunt LOL) and had our dance floor packed all night! I loved his timeline for us, for me it was non-traditional which made the night flow so well! Justin and I could not have asked for a better night!! Thank you Shawn for everything! You made our day one we won't forget!!! THANK YOU!
Shawn was AMAZING! He was so easy to work with and made the whole process stress free for us. From taking our vision of an entrance for the reception to the next level we couldn’t have imagined, to going to the bar and getting us drinks himself. We could not have asked for a better DJ to keep our party going, and our day stress free. There’s not a thing we could change, unless we could relive it all again!
We used Memories in Motion for our wedding last weekend. DJ Keith was a pleasure to work with, he was very friendly and professional. He kept our reception on schedule and played music at the perfect volume. We couldn't be happier with our decision!
Shawn was better than we could have imagined, he kept the whole night on schedule from the beginning of the ceremony to the end of the reception. He was just as excited about the wedding as we were which shows in his attitude and professionalism. He was great about communication in the weeks leading up to and the day of the wedding. If you have the opportunity to book him, do it quickly, you will not be disappointed.
DJ Shawn Steele was the DJ for both my moms wedding and my own. I had a small Sunday wedding (pretty laid back and relaxed type of wedding) but Shawn still managed to get the party alive! We had a great time dancing. Shawn made our wedding flow so smoothly. From the few song choices we gave him he was able to pick up on our taste so well. I didn’t have to think about a thing that day other than what a great time I was having, he kept every event on target. He’s so friendly and personable we felt as if he had been our friend for years. So glad my mom recommended him!
Shawn is amazing and really knows his stuff. He read the room well and helped us have a great party! He is the best, hands down!
Shawn was hands down the best DJ I could have asked for! Being the bride and being a little stressed the day of, he made sure the night ran flawlessly! Not only was the dance floor PACKED the entire night, but he made sure to mix up the music to make sure everyone was happy, including playing a polka for my Pappy! He was very polite, professional, and made sure to communicate with my husband and I throughout the night, which we greatly appreciated! He went above and beyond for our uplighting and I felt like a movie star as he announced us in! I would highly recommend Shawn to anyone I know. Thanks for helping to make our wedding night so special!
Shawn was wonderful! My husband and I could not have asked for a better dj on our special day. He did such an amazing job and really made it all about us and exactly what we wanted. Our wedding reception went so smooth all because of him. Shawn really listened to our requests and made them all happen. He truly went above and beyond to make the best day of our lives so memorable. Such amazing customer service, organization, professionalism, kindness and very detail oriented. Shawn made us and our guests have such an unforgettable night.
Shawn made our day a breeze, we even called him the night of the rehearsal having learned for the first time that our officiant wanted to be mic'd up and he literally said "don't worry about it, I've got it covered, go enjoy your party." He emceed a killer party and all of our guests (and ourselves) made a blast. He really cares about the details and we were so impressed (and thankful!) when he came up to us after our outdoor, July ceremony and before photos with two much needed glasses of water! If what you want is to just cut a check and never worry about anything again, hire Shawn. It was such a relief to not have to worry about having a fun wedding because our reception was in the hands of such a proficient seasoned professional.
DJ Shawn Steele owns the company and has other DJs working under him. He personally did our reception. He played great music mostly of our choice but a couple improvised on the crowd and based off of our music selections we gave him. He kept the energy going, made sure our wedding party was introduced well (with names pronounced perfectly), and made sure everything was about us. Everyone was having such a good time that they were taking up double the amount of space for the dance floor! We were extremely happy with our choice!
Shawn is amazing and he does such an amazing job since he does weddings for a living. He knows what song to play next based on the crowd's feelings, and he also plays all the songs you request for him to play. He is also a very fun and nice guy to work with. He is very professional and loves what he does. I wouldn't have wanted anyone else!
Shawn did a fabulous job! He was able to get everyone out on the dance floor and met all of my crazy song demands! I interviewed two other DJs (the one sounded as though his only music was still on cds in milk crates while the other one talked and talked about another bride's wedding and asked me nothing about mine), Shawn was professional and very easygoing from day one.
;make sure to be very specific about the types of music you want/dont want him to play - otherwise he will take requests!!
