More than a DJ

Mike was recommended to us by our photographer, and I am so grateful she said something! My husband and I both have very strong taste in music and put a lot of importance on creating the perfect feeling for our wedding with our music choices. But since we were planning from afar we had no frame of reference for local DJs. We took a (well-researched and well-supported) chance on Mike and it was one of the best wedding decisions we made!
We were on the same page from our first conversation when we all agreed that wedding receptions are too short to play old, cliche tunes. This was reinforced with our incredibly helpful pre-wedding conversation where we laid out the entire evening set to music. He got excited about the songs we had planned, offered up solutions to our questions and conundrums, and incorporated unique requests and other tasks with ease. It was such a relief to know I could enjoy the entire evening with Mike at the helm. He knew exactly what to play and when to keep people excited and dancing. I have received countless compliments from friends and relatives, some of whom never get on the dance floor--except for at my wedding.
Besides music, Mike also has a great grasp on the big picture of the night and was totally prepared to coordinate and orchestrate reception events. If our reception vendor wasn't already completely on top of it, Mike would absolutely have picked up the slack. But he was happy to step back and focus on the music, I'm sure along with plenty of tiny actions to keep things running smoothly while we got to focus on each other.
If you're willing to give up creative control to someone who knows what he's doing, and if you're ready to be completely immersed in the joy and excitement of your wedding, Mike is absolutely your guy.

Best wedding ever thanks to mike!

Mike went above and beyond our expectations on the day of our wedding. He went out of his way to coordinate our ceremony and make sure it went smooth. He also went around to the guests to get music requests for the dance floor. He made sure the whole reception went smooth! When it came to dancing he put on an excellent show with amazing up lighting - the dance floor was full the whole night! Many have told us it was the funnest wedding the went too - I thank mike (and the open bar) for this!!

Fantastic!

We can honestly say that our day would not have been the same without Mike! He did an exceptional job not only with the reception music but also the ceremony and helping to coordinate the day. He worked well with our photographer and venue to make sure all the big moments where captured and everything stayed on schedule. He read the room fantastically and the dance floor was packed all night. He took the time to understand what we were looking for and make sure everything was perfect. We highly recommend Mike for any event!

The best DJ!!!

Mike was amazing!
He went above and beyond any DJ!
He went as far as helping me plan out and coordinate my entire wedding day schedule. He helped with with everything from ceremony entrances, wedding party intros, speeches, all the way to wrapping up the night with a bang!
He even spent 30+ minutes helping me bustle my dress with my wedding coordinator.
He is VERY good at what he does. He’s responsive and as involved as you would like him to be!
He is a busy guy, but always made time for me and made sure we were always on the same page!
He played the songs I requested, but also made sure to keep the dance floor full and fun!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Mike Bacon is one of the best in the business. Do NOT hesitate even inquiring on him because his price quota is very reasonable. In addition to his DJ skills, youre also getting a day of wedding planner - he makes sure things go according to plan the day of your wedding. He will keep things going on time and, most importantly, bring your dreams to reality. In our wedding, we had a vivid entrance plan. Mike worked with us in terms of coming up with the perfect entrance and making these "dreams" become reality. What we wanted, a lively dance floor and from the beginning entrance and he provided it all. Think about, what will people remember - The venue, the food and the music/people. Mike takes time to listen to you in his three consultations and is always there for you from the moment you hire him to the final song of your wedding. He also provides uplighting and uses state of the art Bose speakers (wireless/wired) as well.

Mike was exceptional! We hired him to DJ our wedding based on reviews we found on The Knot. We had a destination wedding in Gloucester, Massachusetts so we didnt have the chance to meet him. We spoke on the phone a couple of times and Skype'd leading up to our event to walk through the details from beginning to end. Mike's services were very reasonable in my opinion and worked perfectly in our budget. As someone who has planned events professionally, I really appreciate and was surprised by Mike's event management strengths. He did more than play music for our ceremony and reception, which he did perfectly by the way. Mike worked with us to craft the perfect music for the ceremony from the seating of the parents to the recessional. Mike helped us to craft our full itinerary from pre-ceremony photos to the end of the evening. Most noteworthy to me is how Mike kept us on time. He was always discreetly keeping my wife and I aware of timelines and what was to happen next. I believe Mike genuinely wanted us to have the best day of our lives. He grabbed drinks for our wedding party at one point. He saw a great photo opportunity with the clouds outside and advised us to get a shot with the photographer. He was fun and funny and kept our wedding party tied together. I would absolutely recommend hiring Mike to DJ your wedding or event. You will not be unhappy. He did more for us then I have ever seen a DJ do for a client in any scenario.

One thing my wife and I know for sure is that our wedding day would never have gone as smooth as it did without Mike. We were lucky enough that we came across him in our Internet search. And boy, were all of the reviews true! He made everything very straightforward and simple. We had one sit-down with him via Skype and went over all of our typical wedding details - the music and things special to our day that he wanted to make happen for us. He not only organized all of this, but he also gave us helpful feedback and brought up things we hadn't even thought to ask! We also had the added challenge of mixing two different cultures for our wedding. We wanted to find a way to mix Turkish music and traditions with American ones. And to do so in a way that didn't seem forced and kept the liveliness and fun going throughout the night. He handled the transitions between both cultures that night seamlessly. He even found a way to play some metal music for me because I'd mentioned to him that I'm a big fan. On the actual day, he did more coordinating than our wedding coordinator! He ran around putting out small fires and calming everybody down and making them smile. Our matron of honor and best man both commented how unbelievably nervous they were to give their toasts. He talked them both through the timing and the way it should be done, and let them be just focused on the fun part of it. Many of our guests from both sides came up and commented on how amazing he was. We had a slightly longer wedding than most and didn't expect everybody to stay until the very end. But he made our wedding so much fun that many people stayed up until the very last minute dancing! And as for us, the bride and groom, he helped the caterer give us some time to sit and eat. He also grabbed us after the ceremony, brought us to a separate room, and let us have some private time together. That was one of our favorite parts of the wedding and we will always be thankful for that. Thank you, Mike!

Wow- Mike really pulled our wedding together! He is so much more than a DJ; he came up to check on me before the ceremony, helped prepare us for the big moment, and made sure my husband and I paused to enjoy every moment. He knew exactly the right songs to play to highlight each moment, and played the right mix of rock and pop music to keep the dance floor full of guests of all ages. I think a great DJ knows how to keep the couple calm while keeping the guests engaged, and Mike was able to do this and more. We are so happy we found him!

We had seen Mike in action at a prior wedding for friends a couple of years back and knew we had to get in touch for our own wedding. Mike was easy to get in contact with, very responsive to all questions, and helped to talk us through the timeline, etc. for our big day. Mike is the most (seriously, the MOST) professional DJ and vendor I have ever seen in action. HIRE HIM, really. Do it.

Not only did he spend upwards of two hours on the phone with us the week prior to finalizing music selections, ensuring he had the correct versions of songs, and offering suggestions and opinions, but he ensured that the day of went off without a hitch. Our backyard wedding, thanks to Mike's help, was fabulous. He knew when to shift the music to get people on the dance floor, how to get my now husband and I prepared for the next part of the ceremony/reception, and was simply a delight on all levels. We cannot speak more highly of him and wish we had the words to describe how perfect he made our day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
