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!!!!!

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!

Amazing, beautiful performance by Michael!

Our wedding couldn’t have been more perfect without the added touch of Michael’s amazing performance! He played so beautifully and his song choices touched us all. It really made the ceremony feel complete, and magical!
My husband and I cannot thank you enough for being a part of our special day.

Great choice for DJ and live music!

Michael was a terrific pick for our wedding day. We really wanted live music for the ceremony and he provides live guitar as part of his services (and he worked with us to make sure he was able to play the song I wanted for my walk down the aisle). His communication is excellent and he was very thoughtful about our music plan. Our guests were dancing until the venue kicked us out!

Just book him!!

Our only wedding vendor that I would give a 10 out of 10 to. We had numerous issues with every single other vendor, and Michael was unproblematic, communicative, responsive, enthusiastic, and professional. He was reasonably priced, understood the musical vibe we were going for and did an amazing job setting up our ceremony audio, playing guitar during the ceremony and then showing up again as the MC and DJ at our reception. Everyone was up dancing even at a 40 person wedding. Cannot recommend enough to book!

Wedding DJ

We hired Michael as our DJ for our wedding and he did an amazing job! He was great to talk with and communicate with leading up to the wedding. Making sure he knew what songs needed to be played and when and what kind of music we wanted played during dancing! He was very familiar with our venue so was able to get everything set up with ease and we got so many compliments about the music throughout the night!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
