BEST. DJ. EVER.
Mick is absolutely perfect! My biggest fear as a bride was having a terrible DJ...I have been to weddings before where the DJ was cheesy or obnoxious, or just didn’t know how to keep the party going, and to me, your DJ makes or breaks your event. From the very first time I spoke with Mick on the phone, I KNEW he would be our DJ as he had none of these negative characteristics. He listened to and catered to our every request, and gave his expert opinion and advice when needed (like helping us choose songs for special events). He understood our personalities and what type of wedding we were hoping to have and he gave it to us! He was so easy to work with and incredibly responsive. Our guests LOVED him...from the soundtracks he played, to his personality, to the funny spur-of-the moment (or planned) things we had going on. EVERYONE was coming up to me and telling me how awesome he was. He also sent us a DVD of pictures he and his wife, Julie (also amazing...wedding planner) took throughout the night, as well as created a slideshow for us and sent us the audio of the speeches our friends gave. Our wedding was a total party and we have Mick to thank for that!

Mick is awesome! So easy to work with and has so many great tips that will lead to such a memorable night! He kept the dance floor on FIRE!!!

Mick sets a new standard for professionals in the entertainment industry. His attention to detail, quick responses, and warm hearted nature make him very easy and comfortable to work with. If it wasn't for Mick on the day of the wedding I am certain we would have missed out on certain aspects that we did not think to consider but he caught at the last moment like making sure we fit in our cake cutting before our photographer left :)

Thank you Mick for helping make our wedding run so smoothly!

Everything was amazing – we couldn’t be happier with the perfect “soundtrack” provided by the great Elite British DJ. Music was very important to us and Mick really took the time to get to know us and our taste, and was able to make some really great recommendations that really made the night perfect… and the impeccable planning by his lovely wife Julie of “The Best Wedding for You” many many thanks!!!

Mick was awesome! He really made our wedding perfect. Everything flowed smoothly, he was so helpful and attentive. Most of all he was really good fun! People danced all night long. One of the first things I said to my new husband "the DJ was brilliant!" I would highly recommend Mick to couples planning their big day. He was very professional and really took the weight off of us so we could enjoy the night and have a blast.

I am so glad I hired Mick as our Dj for our wedding. We went to a previous wedding that he did back in 2009 and when I was looking for vendors he was the only DJ I KNEW I had to have!! He is very passionate about his music and he knows exactly what songs to play to get the people off their seats! When we had our first meeting, he was very easy to work with, very friendly, and funny. My husband was out of town while I was planning the whole wedding so he missed out on meeting the vendors but he absolutely loved all the music Mick played during our wedding. Even though our wedding is over I still have guests talking about our wedding and how much they enjoyed the music. Mick is definitely the DJ you must hire for your wedding!!

PASSION - that's what you will get if you hire Mick. I would say he is nearly as passionate about playing great music to create a fun-loving atmosphere as he is about English Football! My family is British and having his British sense of humor and accent as the MC of our reception was a very special touch. My husband is the biggest critic when it comes to music at other people's wedding, so he was determined to be very hands on with creating the set list. Mick was very cooperative and has MANY great ideas. he felt out the crowd well during the event kept the dance floor full and after the event has gone above and beyond sending us pictures, slideshows and recordings.

Mick was such a great DJ and MC for our wedding. I think he really made the party what it was and made sure all the guests had such a great time. He is very professional, responsive, great to work with and has great insight and advice about music and weddings to offer.

When it came to planning our wedding the reception and music were important to both of us. Mick came highly recommended from a co-worker that used him for her wedding. After meeting with Mick we knew right away he was our DJ. He was the first vendor we booked. From day one Mick was very helpful in working with us to create a music list that was uniquely our own while also being wedding friendly. Mick does an exceptional job of keeping the party going while never drawing too much attention to himself. The dance floor was packed all night and his English accent was a crowd favorite. In addition to his DJ services we found Mick to be a great resource. His recommendations such as the group photo, first dance immediately after our reception entrance and the group dance before dinner made our wedding memorable. If you want a fun, personalized wedding Mick is your man!

One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was hiring Mick Scrivener to be our DJ. He came highly recommended by a friend and was the first vendor we hired. On top of the fact that he came with such great reviews, I am a little obsessed with all things British and I wanted to hear his voice announcing all the important events after the ceremony. He worked both our ceremony and the reception and the day was perfect. Mick scheduled several meetings with us to find out what our musical taste was and to work out the list of “must plays” and “do not plays”. He also sent out monthly newsletters to all of his clients, sharing stories from his recent events, ideas and trends in local weddings. He made himself available at any time via email and quick to respond. Our ceremony was beautiful and the sound was perfect. Mick even accounted for the unusually windy day that it was and cleared everything with Jon and I before he made any decisions that may have been different from what we originally decided. He also kept the evening moving along without making us feel like we were being rushed through events. Mick made us feel like he cared about our big day and went out of his way to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. He also did an excellent job or reading the crowd. My husband, Jon, and I got to hear all of the songs we had requested and even saw our guests making requests. Mick was accommodating but NEVER played a song if it was on our do not play list. Actually, he played a few songs in a “Do Not Play Montage” as a sort of teaser and warning not to request them. It was really fun and our guests got a kick out of it.
In a surprising twist on the evening a family member of mine requested that I sing and Mick made sure I was 100% willing to do it before he played the song. He even recorded it and used it in our slideshow on his website. As an added bonus the day after the wedding we got to see pics of the day that he managed to take, while he was DJ-ing, set to the recording of me singing. It ended up being a lot of fun and I am so happy that he captured that moment and used it in our slideshow on his blog.
Mick is one of the nicest, most professional and fun DJs you could possibly work with. He is extremely organized and offers suggestions only if you ask for them. He never pushed anything on us or made us feel bad for our decisions. In fact he seemed to be having just as much fun building the playlist with us as we did. I am actually a little sad that our wedding is over because I had so much fun working with him! If you are looking for a DJ for your reception or wedding or both, hire the Elite British DJ – Mick Scrivener!

I can honestly say that Mick made our wedding. I did not want a horrible and cheesey wedding DJ and immediately liked Mick during our first meeting. There was never a second choice when making our decision and Mick lived up to everything. He listened to what we wanted for our music selection (even when it was less than typical) and gave great suggestions on how we could get everyone involved on the dance floor. He made excellent suggestions on how to make our day memorable and brought special touches to our big day. I would 100% recommend him.

Mick was the DJ at our July wedding at the Thursday Club. If you are considering hiring Mick for your party, just say yes!

His careful attention to detail was evident during our meetings and at the reception. Mick provided excellent support in selecting our song list given his extensive music catalog and we felt confident in our plans for the reception. He and our photographer, Carrie McCluskey, worked beautifully together as they facilitated the biggest day of our lives. My husband and I usually are on top of things, but we could not hold a thought in our heads on that sublime day. Fortunately, Mick kept the reception on schedule by giving us kind and patient direction (sometimes repeating things more than once). He played our favorite music, but also inserted songs that appealed to our crowd of all ages. Our friends and family raved about his performance, as he was always entertaining and never overbearing (like some DJs). Mick kept the party going until the last possible moment. Looking back, it felt like a recurring dream as we went happily into the sunset.

Mick went above and beyond in every way. After our wedding day, he generously sent us video of our ceremony (which we didn’t ask him to do), photos and the set list to incorporate in our album. Look no further than this consummate professional. On your wedding day, all you need is love and Mick to keep the party going!

Mick from Elite British DJ did our wedding in July 2011. We have nothing but good things to say about him. He had the dance floor packed all night and everyone loved him. It's almost three months since our wedding and we all still can't stop talking about how great Mick was. Everyone has told us that he is the best DJ they have ever seen at a wedding. We are so happy we hired him. If you are wanting a professional DJ who knows everything about music and will make your wedding unforgettable hire Mick. If you don't you are making a mistake! Thanks for everything Mick. You're the best!

Mick came on board last minute in our wedding plans and was so easy to work with. We produced a very eclectic and "old-fashioned" list of requests and he turned out a memorable playlist for our wedding dance and reception. We got nothing but compliments all night on the music and we had one of our favorites for a finale…what a way to end the night! To top it off, we received an unexpected DVD slide show and photo CD of some very candid moments on the dance floor, awesome memories to cherish! We cannot recommend Mick highly enough, thank you Mick!!

Mick was awesome. We loved Mick. Not only did Mick have a great grasp on our music style but he also had great suggestions for songs that we used during the ceremony and reception that were perfect. My husband wanted to walk down the aisle to "Sweet Child of Mine". Mick had a wonderful string version that flowed perfectly with our flamico guitar pre-ceremony music and was a little less harsh then Axel. Mick also has a great sense of humor. He would slip in little bits of music to liven the moment. He also has a GREAT montage of "Don't Play" songs song (everyone of my guests have mentioned to me to how great that little piece was). Mick was extremely proffesional and very personable in every way. If you are looking for a DJ who really knows his stuff and loves what he does I highly suggest you go with Elite British DJ.

My new husband and I just got married June 11th, and yes I am on my honeymoon writing about Mick's amazing professionalism, friendliness, and talent that were crucial elements of our beautiful wedding.

We are New Yorkers and found out about Mick from our wedding coordinator, Julie Scrivener, incidentally his wife. As we were planning our wedding from 3,000 miles away, I thought that a husband-and-wife duo would really ensure everything goes smoothly, but little did I know just how much more amazing each vendor would be.

Mick and Julie work together yes, but they each stand their own in their separate areas of expertise. What we liked about Mick was that he helped make our wedding so personal - he followed the song questionnaire we followed very closely, and threw in a few songs that he knew we would like (and he was definitely right on the money).

When we first met him, it was a few hours before the wedding, and the way he introduced himself with a smile (or more like a warm grin) made him immediately likeable and approachable. We could hear the music playing all during setup as he was testing for sound and slideshow audio-visuals (he later told us he tested our slideshow from beginning to end 3 times, so he is definitely thorough!).

We gave him a challenge because we wanted the Chicago Bulls entrance to the reception, with pre-game sounding announcers, and he pulled it off beautifully (not cheesy at all, but with a great booming British accent - he must have practiced just for us because he mentioned he had never done this before, which made us even more grateful that we had selected him).

During the wedding, the music was great - it was at the perfect volume, so guests can still talk to each other while others danced. So many guests complimented us during and after the wedding on our DJ and music selection, both young and old guests. We especially appreciate his ideas on improving transitions between the First Dance, Father-Daughter Dance, etc., that we felt were differences not to be overlooked. He is not one to overlook small details, and we have been to so many other weddings where transitions were not properly planned.

All in all, we enjoyed working with Mick because we can sense passion in his work, with classy and warm professionalism to match. We had interviewed several DJs prior to knowing about Mick, and the other DJs had come off as cold, pushy, even bossy. After hearing about Mick, we actually didn't bother interviewing him because his reputation preceded him. And after our wedding, we are convinced that there is no better DJ in the San Diego area better than Mick/Elite British DJ.
