BEST DJ around

I am a picky bride & our DJ listened to everything I asked of him! Alex was super friendly and very sweet thru the whole process ...even when I told him I wanted boy bands, Brittany and country all night HA! He was fun, outgoing and talented!! I am so glad we decided to go with this company, my feet still hurt from dancing all night!!!

Mike from Makin' Entertainment DJ'd our wedding in June 2016. He is sat with us for hours going over what we wanted and didn't want in our wedding lists. During the reception he kept everyone engaged and 6 months later my guests are still talking about how much they loved Mike. I fully believe the DJ makes your wedding and Mike definitely made my wedding the best! Also I would suggest the uplighting, he had the entire venue looking beautiful.
We will use Mike again for every event that we have!

Mike Dinsmore, the owner of Makin' Entertainment, was our DJ. I could not have asked for a better DJ. Mike worked the crowd and had everyone dancing. He knew exactly what we wanted and even had a few surprises. He gets as involved as you want him to. His timing was perfect and the music was perfect. Months later I still have people talking about our DJ.

This company is definitely a must hire for any wedding or event.

Mike of Makin Entertainment was Fantastic - He made sure everyone at our Wedding had a blast. Mike went above and beyond throughout the entire process to make sure we where comfortable and at ease with the entertainment for the wedding. In addition, Mike met with us several times to discuss logistics, music choices, and suggestions. He was very accommodating and flexible in communicating with us frequently so we had no unanswered questions or surprises. Makin Entertainment and DJ Mike D, come with the highest of recommendation and we make a point to tell anyone we know getting married he is the best around. Thanks for helping to make our wedding as amazing as we wished - The Music, Uplighting and guest interaction was seamless and Mike was a huge part of making our special day so perfect.

"Wedding of the year!" "What an awesome DJ" "my feet are killing me from dancing so much". All these comments were made by our the guest at the wedding. Mike and his staff are amazing. Not only are they affordable, but they are VERY Professional as well. Mike helped me pick songs that fit my wedding perfectly. He catered to every question I had and was always quick to respond. The music was fantastic, the lighting was perfect and he kept everything running on time and kept everyone up dancing all night. My sister used Makin Entertainment several years back and her wedding was awesome, so I knew there would be no other DJ than Mike D and MAKIN ENTERTAINMENT. We had to make minor changes throughout the night and he quickly grabbed his iPad and moved things around without blinking an eye. We had a variety of music from all types of genres and he kept everyone happy from old to young! We could not be happier with the job Mike and his staff did the day of our wedding. I'm still getting phone calls a week later saying how awesome and on top of everything the DJ was. Not only did Mike help me prior to our big day- but he also helped me the day of and told to me relax and kept things running smoothly. I couldn't have done it without him! I can not say enough good things about how great MAKIN ENTERTAINMENT is. I would look no further and book them. We have so many great memories and the dance floor being packed all night is the biggest one. Trust me when I say that Mike and his staff are the very BEST out there. Thank you for making our wedding so special!

I could not have asked for a better DJ than Mike from Makin' Entertainment. He did a great job with choosing music and ways to get everyone engaged with the celebration. When I first entered the ballroom at the Chelmsford Radisson, I would not have changed a thing. I was amazed at how well the lighting worked in the room. But what surprised me the most was the fact that the lights were there at all. They were not part of our package, but Mike takes care of his customers. When he heard that my husband was in the Air Force and had just returned from a year-long unaccompanied tour(family not allowed) in South Korea, he chose to donate the services of the lights to our reception, which meant so much to myself.

Mike Dinsmore was the best DJ. He got back to me immediately every time I had a question. He played everything I had requested. His added lighting and photos were amazing. I would recommend him to all my friend and family. I'm so happy to have had him as our DJ. He made our wedding ceremony memorable.

Mike is a great DJ and his professional staff will keep your party up and dancing all night long!!

"Results without pretense : Ra-Mu and the Crew" Wedding DJs

Mike D. is the best MC and all around polished entertainer that I know. Not only is he the utmost professional, he is also a great value and could easily be charging three times what his current rate is. Choosing "Makin Entertainment" is the 1st step to a very successful event that you will remember for years to come.
