Dj mad mike was amazing!

DJ Mad Mike was LITTTT!!! Him and the company Modern Era Weddings was super easy to work with. They were super informative in the planning process, they provide a super cool portal for you to put in your songs for every part of your day. Since my wife and I are both women the portal was a little difficult because it said “Bride” and “Groom” BUT the second I brought it up to Mike if we could change it to make it easier, he was more than happy to make the changes for us. Super LGBT friendly company and DJ.
As for our wedding night, Mike was legit the best DJ we could have imagined. He took our vibe, song requests and do not plays all into consideration and did unreal. He mashed up songs on the fly, never let any song end abruptly and a new one start. He did great transitions and never missed a beat. People were RAVING about our wedding ever since and one of the things they keep saying is “your DJ was amazing and it made the whole party”.
Mike even did the coolest thing for my wife and I where he recorded a chunk of our vows from our ceremony and mashed them into our recentional song during the reception. It was a moment we will remember forever. It was so special and thoughtful. Booking him was worth every cent. If you’re thinking its out of your budget, reconsider!!!! Id spend twice as much as we did knowing how much he killed it!!

Exceeds expectations

DJ Mike is an absolute master of his craft—a true genius. He is reliable, responsive, and everything a bride could hope for to make the day perfect. The entire process leading up to the wedding was smooth and stress-free. By not hiring Mike, you'd be doing yourself a disservice. He went above and beyond, far exceeding our expectations. He catered to last-minute special requests and really put in the extra effort to make our night unforgettable. Mike has an incredible ability to read the room, get the party started, and keep the energy high all night long.

Highly recommended!

They know how to party!!!!

Couldn’t have imagined our day without Mike and modern era weddings! They brought all the fun and were extremely professional. They knew the vibe we wanted and were able to create a dance floor that had both Hispanics and Americans on the dance floor the whole night!! Mike was amazing to work with. He knew exactly how to throw a party, he was a perfect MC, and he had a setup that made our night FUN. Everyone still tells us how much fun they had at our wedding and that’s all because of Mike and modern era weddings. THANK YOU!!!

Hire DJ Mike for your wedding!!

From the first time we talked to Mike on the phone we knew he was going to be a perfect fit for what we were looking for in a DJ. We had a pretty specific idea of what music we were looking for (and when) and it couldn't have gone any better.

Mike's MCing skills kept the day moving smoothly... speeches, intros, dances all went exactly how we envisioned, which given the controlled chaos of a wedding day was extremely helpful for us!

But to the most important thing, the MUSIC!

One of the biggest compliments I can give to Mike is that at no point in the night did my wife go up to Mike and request another song, and if you know her well, that would shock you.

Mike had the dance floor full the entire night with a perfect mix of all the music we were looking for, from a few classics to pop punk to house music. People are still talking about how good the music was at our wedding and we couldn't agree more.

If you hire Mike just know you are in for an awesome party, can't recommend him enough!

Amazing! Dj fletcher!

DJ fletcher is seriously my favorite! We interviewed many companies and I went with The Best DJs after speaking with Monica because the process seemed person centered and easy. They provide you with a portal to fill out your timeline, chose songs you want them to play and communicate with your DJ. We interviewed several DJs within their company and after speaking with DJ Fletcher we felt most comfortable and excited to work with him. He helped me make the timeline for our reception and provide a lot of insight and feedback to help our timeline run smoothly. He was also excited about our music styles and choices and beyond ready to play the Jewish Hoorah and Italian Tarantella for our families to come together. DJ fletcher continued to communicate with us ongoing through the process and was always available via phone and text for questions. At the reception, he got the party started with music and lights. All requests were played and everyone said he was beyond great!! we really enjoyed working with Dan! Thank you :) !

DJ Mad Mike (and Greg) are the dynamic duo you need

DJ MIKE AND GREG! The ultimate dynamic duo! Once we saw DJ Mike do his thing to create an epic dance party at our friend's wedding, we knew we had to hire him (and you should too!)

They went above and beyond what we asked for to deliver an epic wedding weekend. From providing custom lighting recommendations, spending hours setting up and breaking down, DJing not only the reception but the after party til the wee hours of the sunrise, this dream team really brought the weekend to life. Multiple of our guests told us it was the greatest dance party they've seen -- and two of them have now hired DJ Mike for their own parties. Whether getting married in Pennsylvania or somewhere else, you can't go wrong hiring Modern Era and the team.

Dj mad mike - the best in the industry!

I literally knew I wanted DJ Mad Mike for my wedding back in 2015 when I heard him play at a family friend’s wedding. He was one of the FIRST vendors I reached out to in hopes that he had availability for our date (THANK GOD HE DID!!). From start to finish, he gave us an absolute world class experience. His systems made it so easy & hassle free to put together our dream playlist! He even met us in person before the wedding to talk over everything & to get to know us! He literally went above & beyond to add special touches & BRING THE PARTY! All of my guests kept saying “this is the best DJ we’ve ever heard at a wedding” & I proudly said I KNOW!!!

Aldo & I did a first look of our venue without anyone in yet, & he played “Lover” by Taylor Swift (told him I was a Swiftie LOL) without us even asking! It made that moment a million times more special - we cried!! I will never forget it! “Thank you” will never be enough for being a part of the best day of our lives. BOOK DJ MAD MIKE ASAP!!!!!

DJ Mad Mike: A True Gem Who Went Above and Beyond to Help Us Plan Our Perfect Day

DJ Mad Mike is the best wedding DJ I could have asked for. He is the definition of a Master of Ceremonies, and he went above and beyond to help us plan our perfect day. He was always available to answer our questions and make sure that everything was going according to plan.

On the day of our wedding, DJ Mad Mike kept the party going all night long. He had a great sense of what our guests wanted to hear, and he kept the dance floor packed from start to finish. Even our guests who aren't usually dancers were getting down!

DJ Mad Mike is a true professional, and he is incredibly talented. He is a master of his craft, and he knows how to create a party atmosphere that everyone will enjoy. I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a wedding DJ.

The best DJ!!!

We used DJ Tyler (Tyler Foister) for our wedding DJ (ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception), and he absolutely crushed it. He was detail-oriented, capturing the exact right songs and moments when we wanted to play specific songs, and he put together an amazing mix. Almost all of our guests remarked how “lit” the dance floor was, and multiple people have asked me about the DJ because they thought the music was so perfect. Tyler read the mood of the crowd, he MC’d at the right moments, and generally guided us through a perfect evening. I’d highly highly recommend Tyler for any music at your events.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Candidly Yours Photography Candidly Yours Photography Wedding Photographers

I've worked with Bill and Denise a few times now and as a photographer, the DJ needs to keep the party moving so that I can have something to photograph. Well, these two really know how to turn a reception into a night club. Its always a blast working with them and the dance floor is always packed! The sound is clean and distortion-free. They take requests, mix songs together and are just a great vendor to work along side. I recommend them highly to anyone looking for a sound professional. keep it up guys, mike leonardi, candidly yours photography

A Simple Vow A Simple Vow Wedding Officiants

Things that can break your reception: fistfights, indoor thunderstorms, under-cooked chicken, Aunt Maude getting plastered and hitting on your groom, and a bad DJ. Modern Era Weddings can solve most of these problems. How? Well, the crowd will be having such a great time grooving to the jams that there will not be even the thought of a fight, the excellent mood-enhancing up-lighting will make the rain look like Twilight sparkles, and Aunt Maude will most likely hit on the DJ. And salmonella poisoning? Modern Era's DJs are immune to any and all food-borne bacteria, so they can keep the party going strong. Professional, contemporary, interactive and fun with a keen fashion sense Modern Era Weddings will make your reception (and ceremony). Call them now. Then text. Then email. Then call again.
