Mike with Amplified is Great!

My wife and I can't recommend Mike with Amplified events enough, he was so easy to work with and open to our vision for what we wanted at our wedding reception! We even had a few specific music requests for intros and various other things that he was more than willing to accomodate for. The app that they use is super easy and user friendly as well and made selecting music leading up to the reception very simple and stress-free. Mike and Cole brought the energy all night and the packed dance floor reflected that. We had several people come up to us at various points complimenting what a great job they did. Again, cannot recommend Mike and Amplified enough!

Book them IMMEDIATELY (you won’t regret it)

If you’re even thinking about booking them do it. Immediately. Run, don’t walk. Your future self (and your dance floor) will thank you. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better DJ team for our wedding. The ceremony went perfectly from volume levels, sound cues, and mic levels. Then came the reception where they absolutely crushed it!! The whole day was handled perfectly.

Micah was incredible at reading the room and keeping the dance floor full the entire night. Every transition was smooth, every song was a banger, and the momentum never dropped

The mixing from start to finish was spot on with no awkward gaps or weird transitions. Since the wedding, we’ve had compliment after compliment from guests saying it was the best dance floor music they’ve ever experienced, which says a lot.

We’re attaching some photos, and honestly they speak for themselves. You can see how packed the dance floor was and how much fun everyone was having all night!

Overall, just an amazing experience and a huge part of what made the night so memorable. If you’re even thinking about booking them do it. Immediately. Run, don’t walk. Your future self (and your dance floor) will thank you.

Five Stars Isn’t Enough

We loved working with Joe at Amplified Events! From planning to the wedding day, he was organized, communicative, and made everything seamless. Our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception flowed perfectly, and once dancing started, the energy never stopped. He read the room so well and kept the dance floor packed all night — we got so many compliments from guests!

We also loved the photobooth and are so glad we added it. Now we have amazing photos from the night to look back on forever. Highly recommend Joe and Amplified Events!

Highly recommended!

We held our wedding a few weekends ago and we used Amplified Events. Mike was amazing to work with, he accommodated all of our requests and the entire night ran perfectly on time. We believe the DJ at a wedding can make or break the evening and we chose Amplified Events after an extremely comfortable first meeting with Mike. Mike and his team delivered on every aspect of our day and absolutely nailed every detail. We had the time of our lives! We highly recommend Amplified Events!

Awesome DJ!

Amplified Events was absolutely amazing! Mike kept the dance floor alive all night and made sure everyone had the best time. He was easy to work with, receptive of our needs, and happily accommodated our request for Lebanese music. The mix of Lebanese and American hits was perfect and kept the energy going nonstop. Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had. Truly hit it out of the park. As a bride, I was so happy with our choice to go with Amplified Events. If you’re looking for a great DJ, Mike is the one!

Best nwi dj

We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Amplified Events! From the very beginning, their professionalism and work ethic stood out. Communication was seamless throughout the entire planning process—they were always quick to respond, super organized, and incredibly easy to talk to.

They took the time to understand our vision for the day and went above and beyond to accommodate every request, big or small. Whether it was adjusting the playlist, timing special moments, or handling last-minute changes with ease, they were incredibly flexible and supportive.

The energy they brought to our reception was amazing! Our guests had a fantastic time, and the dance floor stayed packed all night. On top of that, we also booked their Photo Booth, which was a huge hit! It added such a fun element to the evening, and the quality of the photos was top-notch.

If you're looking for a DJ who is not only talented but also genuinely cares about making your day perfect, look no further. Highly recommend!

Outstanding DJ Services

Joe did a great job communicating with us prior to, and in the days leading up to our wedding day. He was extremely professional and approachable. Jeff also assisted us during the booking process, and helped us find the ideal package for our wedding reception. Both Joe and Jeff did a great job DJ'ing at our wedding reception, and overall helped make it an incredibly organized and fun evening. I would recommend Amplified Events to anyone looking for DJ services for their event.
