Hype Entertainment, LLC

DJ HYPE will deliver what he promises! Professional, fun, & down to earth, he can please any crowd! Hired as the DJ for my wedding (Jan 2025), DJ HYPE helped to create a night to remember!

The thing that I appreciated most about working with DJ Hype was his communication and attention to detail. From my first meeting with him I knew he would be a great fit for our wedding! Marcus laid everything out very nicely for us to pick what songs we wanted and when we wanted them. The final review meeting was awesome as he went through everything with us with a fine tooth comb and made sure we considered everything properly so we could be happy as could be with everything! Enter our big day! Marcus arrived early, got us all mic'd up and taken care of, he's a super personable guy and had me laughing, feeling cared for, and relaxed. Once he was set up he was layering everything out perfectly, everything was right on cue and sounded great. When we got to the reception time, he had the tunes cranking and we were having a great time! One other thing I love is that he'll get out on the dancefloor and throw down with everyone! Truly a great experience from start to finish with DJ Hype, you definitely will NOT be disappointed, and you may feel like it's all too good to be true.. but he's the real deal!!

Marcus is SO AMAZING!! So personable, so friendly. Makes sure what you want is taken care of while still keeping your guests happy. Best DJ ever!

I had the pleasure of meeting Marcus and Melissa four years ago at my sister’s wedding. The next morning, I told my sister that whenever it was my time to get married, Marcus and Melissa HAVE TO be there for me and my future wife. Marcus and Melissa are extremely reliable, easy to talk to, and attentive to detail to make sure your ceremony/reception are everything you dreamed it would be. Their professionalism is top tier and they treat you as if you were their closest family members. Marcus truly goes above and beyond to keep the dance floor grooving all night long; he’ll even be out there tearing it up on the dance floor with you! The photo booth that Melissa provided for our special day was beautiful and my wife and I now have countless memories of our closest friends and family we can always look back and reminisce on for the rest of our lives together. Another thing my wife and I really appreciated from Hype entertainment was the music package Marcus has built up over his career. It can be hard to pick out what music you want to have for your special day, but this package gives you a great head start one what’s usually received well at weddings/receptions and let’s you sprinkle in your favorite jams you’ve been listening to since you were little. To anyone in VA/NC areas looking for the PREMIER entertainment package for their special day, you’re doing yourself a disservice if you don’t have Marcus and Melissa bringing the HYPE to one of the best days our your lives.

Wow! Where do we even begin? HYPE ENTERTAINMENT and DJ Hype (Marcus Matthews) absolutely crushed it at our daughter Jada and Johnny Ralston’s wedding reception! The energy was electric from start to finish, and it was all thanks to Marcus and his incredible talent. From the very first contact, Marcus demonstrated exceptional professionalism and top-notch communication. He was attentive to every detail, ensuring that Jada and Johnny’s vision for the reception came to life. His preparation and willingness to accommodate our requests made the entire planning process stress-free and enjoyable. DJ Hype had the perfect mix of today’s hottest music, classic hits, and all of Jada and Johnny’s favorite songs, which kept the dance floor packed all night long. Whether it was current chart-toppers, throwbacks that brought us all back, or the ultimate party anthems, Marcus knew exactly how to get everyone moving. The atmosphere was pure joy—seeing all our friends and family, from every generation, dance together was just amazing! Marcus brought a vibe that was out of this world, with his infectious enthusiasm and genuine passion for creating an unforgettable experience. He knew just how to get the crowd hyped, and his energy never wavered. The music, the timing, the crowd interactions—everything was spot on, making the entire reception feel like an epic party that we’ll all be talking about for years to come. In addition to the amazing music, the photo booth provided by HYPE ENTERTAINMENT was a huge hit and added an extra touch of fun to the celebration. Our guests loved having the opportunity to take playful, candid photos, and it was so much fun to see everyone let loose and capture these special memories. The quality of the photos was fantastic, and the props provided gave everyone a chance to express their silly side. Having a photo booth was a wonderful addition that added to the excitement and gave us a collection of photos to cherish for years. The quality of service we received from HYPE ENTERTAINMENT was second to none. The sound system was crystal clear, the lighting created the perfect mood, and every detail was handled flawlessly. We can’t thank DJ Hype and HYPE ENTERTAINMENT enough for making Jada and Johnny’s big day beyond perfect. If you’re looking for a DJ who knows how to blend today’s hits with timeless classics, keep the party going strong, and make memories that will last forever—look no further. Marcus is simply the best! With so much gratitude, Ed & Tabatha

DJ Hype Entertainment did a phenomenal job. I would recommend him to everybody. His music package made it simple to check off popular songs we wanted for the entire event, while also being able to make specific requests. The music quality was top tier with his high end equipment! He was also great on the mic making wedding announcements and getting everyone on the dance floor during the reception. Overall, we loved having him and need another event to book him for!

DJ Hype, Marcus Matthews, was the best decision I've made for the wedding! His professionalism, quality of service, and communication were top-notch. He was flexible with my requests and provided excellent advice for my wedding timeline. (I did not have a wedding planner) He had the dance floor hyped up and jumped into a line dance which was such an amazing experience. By the end of the night, DJ Hype has become family and I am so grateful he was a big part of my dream day! -Anya and Maleek

Professional, paid attention to every detail!!! Flawless and hyped it up!!!! We highly recommend!!!

Marcus MADE our wedding! He played such an important role as being the main entertainment. He was professional, kind and so much Fun! So many of my guests approached us afterward and told us how great/wonderful our DJ was. The dance floor was full from start to finish! The music playlist was so perfect! I thank DJ HYPE so much for making our wedding day so perfect. I couldn’t ask for anything more from him. I would highly recommend DJ Hype to all my friends and family who are looking for entertainment for their wedding or special event! Thank you again Marcus for being so friendly and making sure our Big Day ran smoothly as well as making sure the party was poppin!

Our wedding day with Hype Entertainment was absolutely magical! It was the most wonderful day of our lives, filled with unforgettable moments and superb service. The team at Hype Entertainment went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect, creating an unforgettable experience for us and our guests. From the initial planning stages to the actual event, he was a dream to work with. I had SEVERAL specific songs that I wanted played during the ceremony and it all went flawlessly! He even held my 6 month old nephew so that his parents could make a speech. I could not recommend him enough - everyone was dancing and had a great time!

DJ Hype was the man. His packages were very detailed explaining what was provided. Marcus himself is extremely friendly/personable and all around fun person to be around. He killed it at our wedding. There was not an ounce of stress, everything went off without a hitch! Can't recommend him enough!!

We had the pleasure of having DJ Marcus as our wedding DJ, and he truly made our day unforgettable. From the initial planning stages to the last dance of the night, Marcus was professional, attentive, and incredibly talented. He took the time to understand our music preferences and seamlessly blended our favorite songs with the perfect mix of crowd-pleasers. His energy and enthusiasm kept the dance floor packed all night long. We received countless compliments from our guests about how great the music was. If you’re looking for a DJ who will elevate your wedding experience, DJ Marcus is the one to choose!

DJ Hype is THE DJ you want at your wedding. If you want a DJ who is INTERACTIVE, ENERGETIC, and will bring EVERYONE to the dance floor, look no further. Marcus is 100% of the reason we achieved our goal of having the reception as the biggest party ever with all guests leaving with the memory of how FUN the wedding was.

You WON’T regret booking DJ Hype!! Our wedding day was truly an unforgettable experience for us. From start to finish, everything was executed with precision and care, leaving us with cherished memories to last a lifetime. The team at Hype Entertainment went above and beyond for us. He provided music and mics for the ceremony on the beach, which were crystal clear and loud enough for everyone to hear. Marcus knew exactly how to read the crowd and kept the dance floor packed all night! He wasn’t your typical DJ who just stood behind his booth he interacted with guest and played song request he felt would fit the vibe. I cannot recommend DJ Hype enough to everyone!

DJ Hype was amazing. He brought true party vibe to our wedding. Our guests all danced and sung his praises. He exceeded all expectations. His positive energy is infectious. I would definitely recommend this DJ for anyone looking for a fun time at their wedding.

DJ HYPE!!!! If you want your night to be exciting and extra go with him! From the start he made sure what we wanted and catered to our exact needs! He made the night very special! Would highly highly recommend! Hey, he is named DJ HYPE for a reason!!!

There were 3 keys to the success of our wedding night: a beautiful venue, our friends and family, and Marcus as the DJ! Marcus was amazing from the start. From comforting my wife during the planning process while I was on deployment, to letting us behind his booth to DJ during the wedding, he did it all. Marcus is easy to work with, has great taste in music and is very affordable. If we had to do it all again, we choose Marcus every time.

We hired Hype Entertainment for our wedding and wow wow wow was it one of the best decisions we made. He was there early to set up and I actually ran into him on my way to some pictures prior to the ceremony and he stopped what he was doing to greet me and make me feel so special. He was also the best DJ and made every single person have so much fun. So many of our guests reached out to us afterwards and specifically mentioned Marcus and how fun he was! YOU NEED HIM AT YOUR EVENT!! He will make sure everyone has a blast.

DJ Marcus Hype truly made our wedding unforgettable. From the moment the music started, he had everyone on their feet, dancing and having the time of their lives. His music selection was spot-on, catering to every guest and keeping the energy high throughout the night. Not only did DJ Marcus Hype keep the party going, but he was also a pleasure to work with leading up to the event. He was professional, courteous, and truly listened to our preferences, making sure to incorporate our favorite songs into the playlist. Multiple guests complimented us on our choice of DJ, with many mentioning how he was one of the best they've seen at a wedding. DJ Marcus Hype more than exceeded our expectations, and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking to elevate their event with an incredible soundtrack. Thank you, Marcus, for making our special day even more magical!

EXCELLENT!! Marcus came highly recommended, so we hired him for our daughter's wedding. (and then again for a big milestone birthday bash) We loved him!!! and so did our guests at both events!! He was professional and detailed oriented and was quick to respond to our long list of questions and requests. He showed up early to both events and was ready to go when our guests arrived. We credit him with making both of our events huge successes. Marcus was excellent. Hire him if you can!

DJ Hype was Perfection!! He was a true professional at every step of the way. He knew more about the reception flow of events than we did and kept us on track all night! He is more than just a DJ, he is a master of ceremonies, a friendly smile, and the life of the party. We can not recommend him highly enough for your event!!

Planning a wedding from out of state was difficult - especially when we could not meet any of the vendors in advance. We found DJ Hype, saw how highly reviewed he was, found out how affordable he was, and scooped him up right away for our date. Trust me, you think you know a good DJ?? You haven't experienced anything until you meet and hear the work of DJ Hype! His flexibility, well preparedness, and down to earth, fun, demeanor truly made our day one we will never forget! THANK YOU FOR BEING PART OF OUR DAY AND MAKING IT AMAZING!!

Five stars is an understatement. DJ Hype brings the party- he himself is the party. I had no idea who to ask as a DJ and my coordinator sent me his name with two others- I made the decision based on reviews like the one I am leaving now and I’m telling you- it will be the best decision you made the entire wedding planning process. He took special requests, played a voicemail from my dad before our dance, took a USB drive from my grandfather for a special surprise dance, and even played a song I converted myself. He will dance with you, sing with you, and make your guests feel like family. He was very communicative leading up to the big day and even allowed me to add an extra hour three days before my event when I realized I needed wireless mics for my ceremony. (He even has these!) Do it. Stop looking right now and book him!!

We had a blast with DJ Hype! Tailored our playlist while adding in some crowd favorites. Great at interacting with the crowd and getting people up to dance. Very professional from start to finish. He couldn't be any nicer and can't recommend him enough and his team enough.

I wanted to hire Marcus based on the vibe I got from the photos alone, but the glowing reviews he had solidified it for me. I knew I was going to have a great time, but even so, he still exceeded all my expectations. He was so energetic and upbeat, but calm and organized when I was all over the place and didn't know what we were doing. He made our wedding so much fun, and I can't thank him enough!

We hired Marcus for our wedding and it was the best decision. He was very professional and accommodating. We met with him twice before the wedding so he could get an understanding of what we wanted. And it was perfect. You definitely want Marcus at your wedding. He seriously brought the party! Our dance floor was full the entire night. He is so fun and interactive! He was even out on the dance floor with us to teach the line dances if you didn’t know them. And even had me (the bride) back behind the dj booth for a song, it was the highlight of my night! We also opted for Marcus’s uplighting and Photo Booth. I highly recommend getting this as well. Our guests loved the Photo Booth and Marcus even sent us a CD of every photo taken that night. Seriously couldn’t recommend him enough!!! DJ Hype Brings the Hype!!!

Marcus was the PERFECT DJ for our wedding. He customized a mash up for my husband and mother in law to dance to and kept people on the dance floor all night!!! He did an amazing job of choosing songs for the younger and older crowds and has such an amazing presence and personality. The music for the ceremony, all dances, the introductions, ect was perfect and exactly what we asked for. He allowed for us to make all kinds of requests and fulfilled them all. Working with him was easy and all of our guests loved him. Could not recommend enough!!!!

DJ Hype is the only DJ I would ever hire for any event. He made my wedding so much fun. I am still to this day hearing about how awesome he was and how everyone loved him. He was the life of the party and we couldn’t have asked for better. He gets everyone out on the dance floor and picks just the right songs to make everyone want to stay. We are so grateful for him and couldn’t recommend him more

Marcus was fantastic! He kept the party going and many of our guests said it was the most fun they’d had at a wedding! Thank you Marcus!

Marcus was so much fun to have on our wedding day, he really added to the party especially when he got on the dance floor with us. He made sure to play the type of music I (the bride) requested and music he knew would keep guests on the dancefloor which was extremely important for us. Living in NJ we were nervous to pick a DJ out of state for our wedding in NC but Marcus by far exceeded our expectations. Any concern/question I had (I had a lot) Marcus always answered quickly and thoroughly. He is the perfect DJ if you want a true party at your wedding!!

DJ Hype played great music that had everyone dancing all night long! Highly recommend!

Marcus was amazing! He made sure our day ran smoothly while also being so much fun 🙂 my entire family LOVED him and just the energy he brought to my reception. 10/10 highly recommend him!

A DJ can completely make or break a wedding reception. Luckily Marcus totally made our wedding reception! In addition to DJing, he sang, he danced, he Cupid Shuffled! Marcus totally understood the dynamics of our crowd and had people on the dancefloor for the entire night! He also has an add-on for a photobooth, which was super popular with our guests! The best thing about Marcus is how well he listed to exactly what we wanted in terms of music. I had an unconventional request to play Broadway love songs during dinner, and Marcus totally ran with it! So many guests commented about how much they liked Marcus and how he kept them dancing all night long!

DJ Hype was the BEST DJ we could've wished for, for our wedding. He was HYPE ALL NIGHT, he sang with us, danced with us, and even let me DJ for a few minutes! To get the party started, we had a sing-off between both sides of the room which was the perfect way to set the tone for the rest of the night. I wish I could give him a 1000849503/10. Best DJ ever.

Absolutely hands down the best DJ out there. He was so easy to work with and knows what he is doing. So grateful for all of his hard work on our special day!

Amazing Person. Friendly. Great energy. Had a blast. Great DJ and MC!

I met DJ Hype back when I was a little girl and even then his infectious positive personality was a shining light whenever you are around him and his wife so choosing him for our wedding was a no brainer. He had all the music timed perfectly and played all of our top requested songs. The dance floor was packed ALL. NIGHT. LONG. There was never a dull moment. He even comes out onto the floor to interact with guests during the music which I think is so fun & personable. DJ Hype & his wife Melissa is the team you NEED for your wedding, party, event - anything that requires music & a good time!

DJ Hype was awesome! Based on our selections and recommendations of guests he pinpointed our music tastes perfectly and got the party started! People loved the Photo Booth and he even custom makes the designs for the photo strips off the invite design! Overall amazing experience and reasonable prices!

We had the absolute best time at our wedding and it was 100% thanks to our DJ. The entire processing from booking to planning was so easy. Marcus was fantastic and made sure we didn't have any questions our concerns. The only time people weren't on the dance floor at the reception was when dinner was served. So many guests told us the next day how amazing our DJ was. If we ever have need of a DJ again we will not hesitate in booking with Marcus.

Marcus is AMAZING!!!! He is very professionalism, great to work with, and such a fun time! We SO appreciate him and the great time we had at our Wedding! :) HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

We hired Marcus to DJ for my wife's 50th birthday party, He went above and beyond to make sure our party was successful. He showed up early and stayed late. I would 100% use him again. We had about 125 people at the party, and every one of them left with big smiles on their faces. They had a great time. Marcus was a big part of that.

I was on the fence about hiring a DJ until I went to a wedding that didn't have one. I went to a local wedding expo and met DJ Hype. Unfortunately, he wasn't available for my date, but he recommended me to a gentleman that was a DJ for his daughter's wedding. An elaborate form was used between us and he followed it throughout my wedding. He also remained in constant contact throughout the wedding planning process. He was a very active DJ and MC and joined the dance floor with us, entertained us with games, and did multiple announcements throughout the evening. He offered songs to use for special events and that helped tremendously. He made the long drive and was there plenty early to setup for all of the wedding festivities. He had all of the equipment and song list necessary for a wonderful wedding.

Marcus was recommended to us by a friend. When she told me that he was on the dance floor getting the party started at her wedding, I knew he was the right choice! He knows how to read the crowd and everyone loved his energy and entertainment. Wedding planning can be stressful, but Marcus was organized, professional, and responsive and I never had to worry about my DJ! He’s the best!

Marcus kept the party alive to the end. Awesome job!

I could not imagine having another DJ for our wedding day other than Hype Entertainment - he is professional, organized, detail oriented, most of all the nicest man - he got in the crowd on the dance floor & interacted with everyone & played the absolute best music! I would recommend him 100 times over again! We love Marcus!

5 Years ago, when my daughter got married Marcus was her MC/DJ. He came highly recommended by a family member who stated, "Marcus makes the Party". After witnessing this for myself that night, I knew that DJ Hype would be our MC/DJ for any future events, and we considered him family. When it came to planning our wedding, without hesitation Marcus was the first person I contacted. He is easy to work with and actually helped us find our Venue. After shifting our date several times due to circumstances out of our control, Marcus stayed with us and not once made us feel like an inconvenience. In fact, we'd have changed our wedding date several more times just to ensure Marcus was available to be our MC/DJ at our wedding. I can't say enough about him, and I highly recommend him for any function you might be planning. He's much more than a DJ and a stranger to no one. A true Patriot who has served our great Country with Honor and Distinction, and someone we are honored to call a friend. Tou will not be disappointed. Thanks again Marcus! Billy & Maria (2022)

Marcus and his wife were awesome! They made our wedding so lively and fun! Our guest fed off the energy they brought. Also the photo booth is an awesome must have !

DJ Hype is hands down one of the best DJs I have had the pleasure of experiencing. If you want someone who can get a great read of the crowd and actively engage with them, DJ Hype is the person to go with. He was professional and prompt. He made sure to get the crowd on the dance floor and would even join in with some of the dancing. He even let my wife get behind the turn tables for a song, which was one of her favorite parts of the night. It is the little things that made the most of our wedding and we appreciated the personal touches DJ Hype added to our wedding to help make it special. His high energy really set the tone for our wedding and we are beyond grateful to have had him be there. He is very easy to work with and maintained an open line of communication. He would always answer any questions we had and was always willing to go the extra mile. In addition, the photo booth that his provided was a great touch for guests. His wife managed the photo booth and helped our guests with props and taking the photos. If you want your wedding/event to be the talk of the town, then you need to go with DJ Hype.

To say Marcus, aka DJ Hype, was the BEST DJ we could’ve asked for would be the understatement of the year… He entertains & makes sure everyone is having fun!! He came out on the dance floor a few times & had every one dancing & singing the whole night! He is so good at reading the vibe of the dance floor & took requests for songs from guests. The photo booth we got was AMAZING & came with props & personalized printed photo strips for guests to take with them!! He even allowed me (the bride) to come behind the turntable & snap a few cool pics!! Truly would not have been as perfect without him behind the DJ table!!! 10000/10 recommend for your special day!!

If you’re reading this, you are contemplating using DJ Hype (Marcus) for your wedding DJ, and I am here to tell you to DO IT! You will not be disappointed. Marcus was the most interactive, accommodating, friendly, fun DJ I have ever seen. He danced with us, he sang with us and he laughed with us all with a big smile on his face all night long. He wasn’t just a hired DJ.. he was genuinely a part of our wedding and it wouldn’t have been the same without him. From the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank you Marcus.. for being a huge contributor to everyone having an amazing time at our little wedding.

Marcus Matthews exceeded our expectations and helped tp make our wedding night perfection! The music selection was amazing and there was not a dull moment on the dance floor, he'll also give dance lessons for the song if you need :) Marcus was a complete professional and I had no worries throughout the entire process. I'd work with Marcus 10 times over!

So fun, professional and made our night absolutely perfect!

Marcus was AMAZING!! He respected all our recommendations and everyone had a blast. I would highly recommend him! Everyone at our wedding kept coming up to us and saying that he was the best wedding DJ they've ever heard. Thanks DJ Hype for a great time!

DJ Hype was awesome! He started the part and kept it going! He played all of the songs our crowd loves, something for everyone! The entire night went so smooth, thanks to him! We cannot recommend DJ Hype enough to anyone looking for a great time!!!
