Tell us who’s coming and we’ll build the night around them.

I'm Vito, and Motiv Entertainment is a small Christchurch DJ team. Whether it's your work do, an awards evening, a school ball or a big birthday, you'll know who's behind the decks before the night arrives.

Every crowd is different, so we talk through your people, your run sheet and the music you want (and the stuff you'd rather never hear). Guests can add requests on the night with a QR code, and your DJ reads the room from there.

The bit I love is when the whole room piles onto the dance floor at once and nobody wants to be the first to leave. That's what I'm aiming for.

How it works

Four steps and you can stop thinking about the music.

We're based in Christchurch and play right through Canterbury and the South Island. The team's deliberately small, so you'll deal directly with the DJ who's preparing for your event.
