Scott was amazing! He broke his leg shortly before our wedding and not once gave us any doubt he would still get the job done and do it well. And that he did! We had many compliments on the DJ and can’t recommend him enough! The lighting he suggested and provided really made the room romantic and special. So happy with the services!

The moment we decided on a venue, we started looking for a wedding DJ. A girlfriend of mine recommended Hot Mix Entertainment and we are SO GLAD she did. When we took a look at Hot Mix’s music selections, we realized right away that they were way more than just the “same old wedding DJ” at our reception. Scott was incredible. Thanks Hot Mix for being more than just “DJs”, you brought the party to life!
