Above & beyond!!!

DJ Mike is talented beyond words - he is knowledgeable and truly an expert at what he does! Before my husband and I were even engaged, we agreed that when the time came, DJ Mike would be our first call to book - and he was!! After our first phone call with Mike, it was evident that he truly cares and has a passion for what he does. He asked us lots of questions to learn exactly what we were looking for & what overall vibe we wanted to create at our wedding. He exceeded all of our expectations by a mile! Mike goes above and beyond for the couples he works with. The day of our wedding he hand made two platforms for us to stand/dance on. We were not expecting these but that is the kind of DJ he is - always going the extra mile. Not only is he an amazing DJ, he is talented at filmmaking. We will forever look back and admire the wedding video he made for us. It summed up our day perfectly! We had dozens of friends and family approach us & text us the following day admiring how amazing of a DJ Mike was! 10/10 - 5 stars - AMAZING. We cannot recommend DJ Mike enough!

Best DJ Out There

DJ Mike was the MC and DJ for my wedding. As everyone knows, the DJ is of monumental importance to any wedding. In a world where weddings can cost tens of thousands of dollars... the DJ is not the place to go cheap. A great DJ can turn an ordinary wedding into something memorable just as easily as a bad DJ can do the exact opposite. Knowing this, my wife and I spent many hours searching for the best DJ available. After much research, it became entirely evident that DJ Mike was the best. From the moment we decided to book him to the last song played on our weeding day, my wife and I could not have been more pleased with his professionalism and excellence. He was always accommodating to our thoughts and opinions. More so, he was an excellent communicator and always was willing to meet whether that be on zoom or through a phone call. It was abundantly clear that his deepest desire was for my wife and I to have the greatest day of our lives. He was willing to put in the work to make that happen. After our wedding, My wife and I were fielding texts for weeks from our guests regarding how incredible DJ Mike was. He made our wedding day better than we could have ever dreamt. I would strongly recommend DJ Mike to anyone. I truly can't say enough good things about him or fully encapsulate how much he meant to my wife and I on our wedding day.

DJ Mike Nelson - The Absolute Best DJ!

DJ Mike made the entire process seamless from start to finish! After meeting with a couple of DJs, it was immediately clear that Mike was a true professional. From our very first phone call, it was obvious he wasn't just trying to sell us a service—he genuinely wanted to get to know us and create the best possible experience for our wedding day.

Mike is exceptionally talented at keeping the energy high all night while making everyone, from children to grandparents, feel excited to be on the dance floor. His attention to detail is second to none, and his experience shows in every aspect of the reception. He followed through on everything we discussed during our planning meetings exactly as promised, while also doing an incredible job reading the room and adjusting throughout the night to keep the party going.

We truly couldn't have chosen a better DJ for our wedding. If you're looking for someone who is organized, personable, and knows how to create an unforgettable reception, DJ Mike is the one.

The Best DJ You Could Possibly Hire

We hired DJ Mike for our wedding, and to say that he and his team were absolutely incredible would be an understatement. I had maybe 25+ people go out of their way to tell me how fantastic our DJ was.

Mike is a pro with over 21 years of experience, and it shows. He was flawless as an emcee, cracking tasteful jokes and brining the energy; he was extremely organized and adaptable to fluid wedding day schedules; he is incredibly talented when it comes to the actual DJ-ing portion; he knows a lot about all genres of music and truly cares about the songs; his lights setup throughout the room and smoke cannons were awesome. He single handedly made our reception feel so fun, and a majority of guest stayed longer than they normally might, with all generations out there for a few hours.

He is THE BEST possible DJ you could hire in the upper Midwest; if you want to have a fun gig, hire him!!! I truly cannot express how grateful we are to him for making our most important day so remarkably fun. He played such a large hand in that.

Thank you DJ Mike!

Bellefeuille Wedding

Mike and Tyler were incredible to work with! They reminded us of all the small key details that make the day so important and memorable. They allowed for us to approve/deny music so that the day was as individualized as possible! They are very reasonable for pricing and we loved that they use Venmo for payment as it allowed for flexibility. Tyler DJed our wedding and we had so many compliments on how great the music was! We loved the remix style that DJ MN provides. That way people don’t get bored with one song for too long! We weren’t expecting the dance floor to be filled as long as it was, but the majority of our guest list was there all night long because of HOW GREAT our DJ was!!!! We were so thrilled when a few days after the wedding, we even got a content video of the day. We didn’t hire a videographer so getting this video to capture the day was the surprise we are so grateful for! They djed my cousins wedding a few years ago and that just proves how much we loved them, that we HAD to have them for our own wedding! Would not recommend anyone else. You will not regret picking DJ MN for your event! Thanks Mike & Tyler!

Exceeded expectations

We picked Mike out because he had some great reviews so we knew he was going to be good, but we weren’t expecting him to be THIS good. Mike was great to work with leading up to the wedding, very responsive and pleasant to talk to. During the wedding he was extremely professional and made all DJ related things flow smoothly. Then the real Mike-Magic was during the dance. He took the songs we provided him, added additional ones that perfectly fit the vibe, and mixed them together perfectly. All the songs transitioned into each other so well that multiple people literally told me “these transitions are crazy” on the dance floor. The dance floor stayed full for the entire night which was my dream. At the end of the night, numerous people told us “this was the best wedding I’ve been to” or “this was one of the most fun weddings I’ve been to”. A large part of that is because of Mike. I cannot recommend DJ Mike enough.

Magical video editing!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I cannot say enough good things about Mike and his editing skills. We found him through a wedding Facebook page after his wife referred us, and from our very first interaction, he was wonderful to work with.
Mike worked with candid, informal footage from our daughter’s wedding and turned it into something truly special. What he created was nothing short of a miracle — a beautiful, emotional wedding video that perfectly captured the heart of the day and far exceeded our expectations.

Most importantly, my daughter and her husband absolutely love the final product. It was the perfect gift for them and something they will treasure for years to come. Beyond his incredible talent, Mike was so easy to work with — kind, patient, responsive, and genuinely invested in making sure we were happy. He took what we had and transformed it into something we will cherish forever. If you are looking for someone with exceptional editing skills who can work magic and is also just a genuinely nice person, I cannot recommend Mike highly enough.

Mike Nelson is simply one amazingly talented Dj. His ability to cross musical genres, engaging the young & the young-at-heart, makes him a very wise choice for any occasion. Throw in the fact that he's one of the VERY few dj's that still utilize turntables at his events, and you've get the best of both modern mixing techniques and classic Technics!
