Scott was great to work with. He responded immediately to all of our emails and phone calls. Our reception was rockin’ from start to finish. He had everyone on the dance floor and kept them there. The lighting was beautiful. Our Photo Booth pictures looked great. We couldn’t have been happier with our decision to hire Hot Mix Entertainment. I can’t tell you how many compliments we got about our music and DJ. We highly recommend Hot Mix and Scott!

We know Hot Mix Entreatment and Scott from Chicago and hired him to come down to Florida for our event. Hot Mix provided everything we needed for our wedding. Scott was the DJ and brought his team for our photo booth and lighting. Everything was beyond magnificent. We had the BEST time. Hot Mix was easy to work with and very flexible with our schedule.

Our DJ Scott from Hot Mix. was so much fun! He was very professional and listened to what we wanted. I was even more impressed when he was able to find a couple of hard to find remixes for my husband. (he loves House Music) Scott went above and beyond and made our wedding reception a success. At first I thought they were pretty expensive, but I would pay that again for the experience we had. You need to hire Hot Mix for your wedding!

Scott was a perfect 10! I can't imagine a better DJ for our wedding... We knew he was good when we hired him, but he honestly blew us away at the wedding. He NAILED it! Cocktail hour was full of our favorite music and set the perfect tone for the night. At the reception, his announcements were perfect, and it was obvious that he has many years of radio/emcee experience. But most importantly, our guests danced all night and so did we! We had the BEST time. I also heard from friends that he handled the guests who had less-than-awesome song requests really well. Scott is a consummate professional. He knows music and how to run a room, and he has all the best quality equipment. I could not be happier with our decision to hire Scott, and I will recommend him to everyone I know!
