We found MSE Productions online when looking for our band. The website is FANTASTIC!!! You can review and listen to hundreds of bands from the comfort of your home. Miles at MSE Productions is the consummate professional. He knows the entertainment business. Working with Miles was a pleasure. Miles is easy to work with, organized, reliable and will send you reminders to help keep you on track. Miles and the band we selected knows weddings. They will send you a list of songs to choose from, as well as a questionnaire that outlines the big day so that it is a very personal event. MSE offers a number of other services such as ceremony musicians and even lighting. Truly a one stop shop for all of your wedding/event needs. We were over the top pleased with MSE Productions!!!

My husband and I used MSE Productions for both our DJ and our ceremony music/cocktail hour music and we are both so glad we did! They far exceeded our expectations and did such a great job. Our DJ was very accommodating with any idea we had and was always available when I needed him. He also had great recommendations on music and fun ideas to make our reception unique. The musicians worked so well in coordinating with our singer and learning special songs just for our ceremony. MSE has a very talented bunch and I highly recommend them to anyone!

Miles Stiebel and his incredibly talented group of musicians were the highlight of our daughter's wedding reception. Since our daughter is a music teacher and many of her (and our) friends are professional musicians, they can be a tough crowd to please. I can't say enough good things about Miles and crew. They found a way to appeal to the bride and the guests of all ages, playing a mix of French cabaret (bride's request), American songbook, jazz, standards, "selected" oldies, Motown and dance music. The versatility was truly amazing and the level of musicianship was incomparable. We had a group of 8 musicians including horns, and several of the band members also sang (beautifully!) There wasn't a single request thrown out by the guests that went unanswered...and some were a bit obscure! Miles also did a wonderful job as MC, moving the evening along with grace and wit. The thank you notes and emails we've received since the wedding have all raved about the band. My husband and I give Miles and crew the highest possible recommendation. We just hope we have another event where we can use them again!

MSE Productions helped us plan our ceremony music and picked a fantastic guitarist, Eric, to play for us. I can't say enough about how great he sounded. You can hear him really well on the video (I was a little distracted the day of!) and he did a great job with the music we selected - which included at least one song that wasn't in his repertoire. He was kind enough to learn it for our ceremony. He was great.

We had so many compliments on our DJ. I don't think there was a time that the dance floor was bare. We had Steve Burrows and he did an amazing job. Our wedding was smaller, 60 people, and let me tell you each and every person was on that dance floor. He accommodated us song selections since we didn't know for a stepmom and groom song. My biggest concern was that people would be distracted and not be aware of the cake cutting or speeches, but he made sure that everyone was directed to the appropriate areas. Steve was great. When you give him your do-not play list, he will follow it - he went out of his way to find me to ask to make sure of certain songs since my husband and I didn't want group dances. We had 2 separate areas for music, the cocktail location and then the main area for the reception and everyone thought the music was great. Could hear everything and people weren't straining to hear or felt out of their era since there was a plethora of music.

We used MSE for our ceremony music/cocktail music with a trio, and then also used Steve as our DJ. The ceremony music/cocktail music was excellent! My dad was extremely impressed, and many other guests paid high compliments to them! Steve was great as a DJ. He accomodated my request to do a "surprise" first wedding dance, and that's what made my night! He did an excellent job with it, and also kept the dance floor going all night! My guests were very impressed, as I was that the dance floor was always packed! Thanks again for making our wedding day incredible! I would definitely recommend you to other brides!

MSE productions was invaluable in selecting a fantastic band for our reception. I didn't have a very clear idea of what I was looking for but, after a brief conversation with Miles, he sent out a DVD with sample performances from about 20 bands that fit the bill. Miles was very helpful in negotiating with the band for a longer set and he was even able to get a portion of the band to play during the cocktail hour.

And the band he helped us find, Nightsong, was hands-down the best wedding band we have ever seen.

Dear DJ Steve,

My wife and I want to thank you for an incredible job at our wedding on Saturday. I am glad that I did not send you my dinner playlist -
I figured out that the only person who would have enjoyed my 80s mix was me. You did an awesome job playing the instrumental music
during dinner so everyone could talk. My Dad had a compliment for you regarding this - he really liked how you waited until dinner ended
before starting the dance music. He attended a wedding in New York and could not even have a conversation with a friend that he had not
seen for years because the DJ started blasting the dance music as soon as dinner started. I am so glad that our friend recommended MSE and
we were assigned you. Other highlights include - the pacing of the music with the older songs first for the older couples to enjoy dancing, playing
the piano conclusion of "Home Sweet Home" after I said something about it (I did not think that you could hear me) ending too soon, and especially the assistance you gave to my wife and I with our pacing of "Meet and Greet" at the tables and eating our food. That was so considerate of you and I had never seen that before at a wedding. We really appreciate how you went above and beyond and you will be recommended highly by me whenever anyone I know gets married. Thank you for making a great night even greater.

Through the recommendation of my wedding planner, we were able to book MSE Production for our ceremony music, cocktail hour, and the DJ for our reception. We decided to go with the Pendulum Trio which best fit with our style of music; Mr. Stiebel was actually the violinist in the group (it was a nice surprise!) Needless to say, the music was perfect, and everything we had requested was played beautifully. Mr. Stiebel was also very easy to work with and was quick to respond to questions via email and phone. We also booked the DJ for the reception (Mr Steve Burrows) and many people commented how great and fun the music was for dancing. Overall, the costs for the entire wedding was also very affordable. I highly recommend this reliable vendor!!

Background:
We had seen a traditional jazz trio play @ Fair Oaks mall during the Dec.10 holiday season & we queried mall management about who they were.
Turns out it was a group from MSE Productions & that led us to contact Miles Stiebel - their president.

We met Miles on a Saturday in early 2011 @ his offices in Reston & were impressed with his knowledge of current music & the classic "standards".
After speaking with Miles & exchanging ideas, we reached a contract agreement a couple of weeks later for live ceremony & cocktail music accompaniments and reception DJ @ our River Creek Country Club wedding.

Details - MSE provided us with:
1) A traditional Jazz Trio + Vocalist for our ceremony & cocktail hour.
2) DJ for our reception.

Our Feedback:
Jazz Trio + Female Vocalist:
1) Did a perfect jazzy vocal interpretation of Bruno Mars' 'Marry You' for the processional
2) They also did another vocal interpretation of 'Just the Way You Are' by Bruno Mars for my bride aisle walk.
3) & the recessional was to a vocal led jazz acoustic interpretation of the Beatles' 'All You Need is Love'.
4) Our guests loved the class this group lend to the event & made the cocktail hour flow easily & fun!
It was ALL SO PERFECT for an outdoor spring wedding!

DJ:
1) Mike was our the DJ that MSE assigned to us. He was very easy going & laid back to deal with.
2) Spoke on the phone with him on 2 occasions.
3) Took our suggestions, song list and mixed & spun a nice easy dinner portion leading into a very fun dance portion that included a conga line inside & outside the venue!
4) He was a pro at dealing with all the logistics of being a spinner & emcee that we threw at him & partnering with our coordinator & the venue staff to facilitate the scheduling.
5) Finally DJ Mike got all the VIP names pronounced correctly - they got up when called upon easily! LOL!

Miles Stiebel:
1) Miles was easy to deal with & took our ideas & made it better!
2) Going in we had an idea of having the trio & vocalist do the Glee version of Bruno Mars' 'Marry You' for the processional but Miles suggested letting the trio do their own interpretation of the song. Needless to say we thought their resulting acoustic version was fabulous & basing on guest's reactions - they were impressed also.
3) Miles also was very accommodating during the contract negotiation & we were appreciative of his partnership in making things fit for our wedding's budgetary needs.
4) Miles is very quick in responding to emails & phone calls & checked in with us leading up to & after the wedding.
5) Miles made live music accessible & available for our private event!

Summary:
Our 04/23/11 Leesburg Wedding guest feedback are as follows:
1) Classy
2) Elegant
3) Perfect
4) Springy
5) Best Ever

This was all due to MSE Productions & Miles Stiebel of Reston, VA & his talented musicians & DJ.
We will do it all over again with MSE if we could!
MSE PRODUCTIONS & MILES STIEBEL gets our HIGHEST RECOMMENDATIONS to tailor & provide for your event's musical needs.

DJ Randy was excellent! He was professional, punctual, and did a great job selecting music that got everyone on their feet dancing.

I just got married on Saturday and Steve was our DJ. He was fantastic! My husband loves Metallica, I love hip-hop and my family is Haitian -- needless to say Steve had a lot of people to please in terms of musical selection. Thankfully he handled it with ease. He was great about leading everyone through their toasts and providing direction to the wedding party for the entrance. Most importantly, I asked him to keep people dancing all night and he did just that! He followed our instructions precisely and all of our guests commented on how great the music was throughout the evening.

I used MSE Productions to DJ my wedding and they were fabulous! Steve was our DJ, and he was very helpful in herding everyone for our intros and toasts, and he really adhered to our request and do not play list. He had a great sense of what the group liked and was very responsive. Everyone was on the dance floor and had a wonderful time!

My venue recommended MSE & I'm so happy they did! Miles is very friendly & got every song I needed for the wedding. I used a lot of songs that they didn't have but they just pulled them from i-tunes. Steve Burrows was our DJ & was amazing. He kept everyone on the dance floor & was NOT cheesy! That was big to us. Thanks again!!! :)

Miles was great to work with; he was professional, flexible and had several suggestions that were helpful in making our wedding day a success. Our DJ, Steve, was great to work with - - the timing of the toast and the cake cutting changed at the last minute and Steve was able to roll with the changes. He had everyone dancing, even the kids!

Miles is very personable, helpful and responsive. he even came on my wedding day and played the ceremony music himself. It was a welcome surprise, but since we had heard him play the violin in his offices earlier, I knew the music was something I didn't have to worry about. Miles has a great handle on the company, and is always involved which makes a big difference. The cost was very reasonable and the company came highly recommended.

Our DJ was very nice and not over the top at all. No crowd games etc, which we said we didn't want. The only thing I would change was that he played the wrong first dance song, so I had to give an impromptu speech while he found the song. Then during the night he played 'our song' again by accident during the all-dance part of the evening. not a big deal, and the guests loved it. Otherwise, a a good mix of music that I asked for.
