About

M.R.K. Entertainment provides wedding DJ, MC, and lighting-design services throughout Maine and New England. Michael works directly with each couple to create a celebration shaped around their music, personalities, venue, and priorities.

With more than 20 years of event-entertainment experience, Michael combines thoughtful planning, polished live mixing, professional audio and venue-conscious lighting design. Every transition—from the ceremony and introductions through dinner, speeches and dancing—is coordinated with the vendor team so the evening feels organized without becoming rigid or overproduced.

Reception experiences begin at $2,950. Complete ceremony-through-reception experiences begin at $3,500, with custom production experiences beginning at $4,950. Final pricing depends on the venue, coverage, logistics, and level of production required.

Services may include ceremony and cocktail-hour audio, reception entertainment, custom MC guidance, programmed uplighting, monograms, digital and printed photo experiences, recorded vows and speeches, architectural lighting and customized guest experiences. Each proposal is built around the couple’s priorities rather than a one-size-fits-all equipment package.

Thank you so much Michael!

Michael did an amazing job at my wedding and I am so grateful that I used his services. He kept the party going the entire night and managed to keep everyone dancing. I was sure with my group that nobody would dance, yet somehow he got guests of all ages out on the dance floor! Even after he played one of my requested songs that emptied the dance floor (whoops, my bad!), he expertly followed it with a banger that got everyone back up. Absolute pro. Thank you so much Michael for making my wedding night unforgettable!

The best quality and service for your money!

DJ Michael was the best investment for our wedding! Not only did we get a great DJ who kept our guests on the dance floor all night long. He brought uplighting for the entire reception, displayed our monogram on the wall, brought a photobooth, gave amazing introductions for our first dances to let guests know insights and make the dances more intentional. He also gave us raw video footage of the entire ceremony including guests arriving to the ceremony, the cocktail hour, the introductions, first dances, toasts and dancing into the night. We received more video footage than anyone I know that hired a videographer and at the same quality. We highly recommend DJ Michael. He is professional and skilled at his craft. Thank you so much!

Worth every penny

Michael was incredible. He was such a pro emcee and so knowledgeable tech-wise about lighting and sound. He also did some awesome transitions and mixes on the dance floor, and lots of our guests told me he was the best wedding DJ they had ever experienced! Plus, he was calm and collected under pressure. We had to move our cocktail hour location halfway through because of weather, and Michael made that transition totally seamless.

10/10 recommend MRK Entertainment for your wedding day.

Awesome experience!

Michael (MRKE) was great from the planning phases of our wedding all the way through our last song at our wedding! Very professional, easy to work with, down to earth, and very willing to work with us to make our day exactly what we hoped it would be! He helped the cocktail hour and reception run smoothly, and helped us host an amazing party with the dance floor staying full the entire time!

Wonderful DJ that made our wedding perfect and fun!

I can't say enough good things about Michael and MRK Entertainment. He made the wedding ceremony and reception a magical and fun event. He listened to us, took our input in and was able to read the room to make our wedding the perfect event. We highly recommend this service.

Thanks DJ Michael!

Thank you Michael! You were easy to work with, provided the right tunes for the vibe, brought all the needed equipment, and easily pivoted and adapted to keep the music pumping even when our internet went down for several hours. You helped our Grand Opening to be the most fun and memorable event possible, thank you!

Michael was fantastic to work with and did an incredible job with our wedding!

We HIGHLY recommend Michael for his wedding DJ services.

What initially drew us to his wedding package was the comprehensive nature of his offerings, all for one package price. This included everything from a drone (though we couldn’t use it due to rain… bummer), GoPro video from the day from various angles, fun lighting for the reception, and projection and recording of our vows, among other things. We loved that he offered some complimentary video services especially since we did not have a videographer.

From our initial meeting, Michael made us feel comfortable and made the planning process super easy. The app that he uses to capture all of the information and song selections was easy and intuitive to use, allowing us to add details and songs throughout the the planning process.

Michael was super flexible with the ceremony arrangements, accommodating our decision to hold the ceremony outside even though it was drizzling. He kept everyone MOVIN’ & GROOVIN’ on the dance floor, and many guests commented that it was the most fun wedding they had ever been to. He even let me (the bride) mix a song as the DJ, and even though I had no idea what I was doing, it made for some fun and memorable photos.

We opted to rent his photo booth (which was an additional fee outside of his package… but SO worth it!), and it was a huge hit with our guests. The props he brought were unique and fun, and there was a line at the photo booth for most of the evening because everyone wanted in on the action.

Michael really knocked it out of the park for us, and we were thrilled with how everything turned out. We highly recommend him for DJ services!

Incredible DJ Experience

Michael provided his DJ services for our wedding recently and I have to say there was not a thing I would have changed with the whole event. Everything came out absolutely fantastic and created an energized atmosphere that had the dance floor absolutely packed straight until our reception concluded at 11pm.

On top of the phenomenal DJ skills Michael has, his insight and help planning the various elements of the event and knowledge pertaining to the overall presentation and transition of each segment of the night was invaluable.

I cannot recommend Michael and his services enough; his contributions helped make our wedding a legendary success that our family will be talking about for many years to come.

We did a Wedding Event with Michael in Auburn this past summer and we saw professionalism at its best as he kept everyone informed and current which makes for a smooth evening for the videographer & photographer. Michael's music kept the floor packed with dancing and smiling faces as his light show delighted everyone and was a beautiful addition to our video production. Peter & Susan
