Best decision of the wedding

Michael was the best decision we could have made for the wedding! His communication was incredible. He helped us think through things that we hadn't even considered and really made the schedule as smooth as could be. He was able to accomodate for our ceremony that did not have a power source. We even had our generator go out during the reception and he didn't hesitate to keep the vibe going. He started up his battery powered speakers and many guests didn't even realize the power was out. Michael was on board with our creative song choices and made them crowd pleasers. Majority of our guests complimented the DJ choice because we had the best dance floor ever. Thank you Michael for everything!!!!!

Truly a great DJ.

I have been to weddings in the past where the DJ does not play the requested songs or just doesn’t have a good flow for the audience. This is not the case for Michael. He did an amazing job assisting in the flow of the evening and managing the timing for music. Michael is a very professional DJ and his experience shows. He is worth every penny.

Michael Lancaster is an Awesome DJ!

Michael was the DJ for our 50th wedding anniversary party at the Vail Hyatt. He was responsive and enthusiastic in helping us plan our event and did an outstanding job integrating our song list into a wonderful night of entertainment for my wife and I and our many guests. We give Michael a solid score of 10 out of 10!

Best DJ ever!

Wow, I can't put into words how fantastic my wedding was. Just to put it in perspective my wedding was last night and I'm already writing a review. Michael was absolutely phenomenal and made our wedding everything we ever hoped for and more. He was so kind and flexible and literally made my dream come true. The live guitar was incredible and all of the music the entire night was absolutely amazing. Would go with Michael a million times over.

The best dj/guitarist!

Michael was absolutely awesome. He played live guitar during our ceremony (our intro was canon in d transitioning into concerning hobbits which was a dream!) and dj'd during our cocktail hour, dinner, and reception. All of it was amazing. He is extremely organized and a great communicator, often responding to my emails within a few minutes from months out from the ceremony to the day of with my last minute questions. He sent us a list to think about every detail far in advance so we had plenty of time to plan and played a great mix of our personal song requests and his own recommendations, which was great. Dance floor was full all night and everyone had a fantastic time. He really made the day/night so perfect. Highly recommend!

Amazing Bagpiper and DJ

First and foremost, the experience with Michael was amazing. His bagpiping and DJing were perfect, in performance, timing and musical selection management. He honored all our requests and brought his professional expertise to the event. In addition to the outstanding musical aspects, he was professional and obviously experienced in his communications and navigating the event. He worked extremely well with the other vendors in ensuring that we didn't have to worry about anything during the day. He played the bagpipes, managed the music during the cocktail hour and meal, facilitated our grand entrance and toasts during the meal, and DJed like a rock star at the reception. It is an extraordinary value to hire Michael to do all these things and have them done so well! We cannot recommend him enough if you want all those things at your wedding.

Amazing wedding

Temp dropped, rainy day, first thing he said to me is we are going to get you married. The bagpipes were top notch. The music from the reception was perfect. Michael also helped with the coordination and flow of everything. Even tied my tie for me. Highly recommend a true professional.

All around incredible

Michael was simply incredible! We gave minimal direction and he brought the event to life as we envisioned it! Throughout the night we had a ton of compliments from all of our guests (all generations) on his playlist!

Amazing experience!

I was very close to not having a DJ for the wedding. I searched once more and found Michael. He was so easy to talk to, helped me with ideas, and incredibly fair in pricing. It felt like such a relief to have someone work with me with such ease. His playlist was wonderful and he happily took requests from my guests. Absolutely recommend him for weddings!
