We couldn’t be happier with our choice to go with Mike. The DJ at a wedding is the “foundation” and everything can be made better, or worse, depending on the DJ. We had a strong foundation at our wedding. He made planning easy, meetings were simple, and the night of was amazing.

Our dinner was slightly late but Mike helped with the coordination and that could have been a nightmare. Luckily he took over and made it happen.

Seriously, I can’t imagine any other DJ doing a better job than Mike did. We appreciate you and the effort you put in to making our night amazing!

If you're considering hiring Mike for your wedding, stop searching & book him NOW! From the moment we hired him, every person we mentioned him to had the exact same response: "He's the best." After spending a year working with him and seeing him in action on our wedding day, we can confidently say they were absolutely right. By the time our wedding day arrived, we trusted Mike completely. We knew that no matter what happened, he would handle it, and that level of confidence is priceless when planning a wedding. One of the greatest gifts Mike gave us throughout the planning process was peace of mind. Wedding planning can be so stressful, but he was the one vendor we never had to worry about. He checked in when needed, guided us through decisions, offered song suggestions when we felt stuck, and made the entire process feel effortless. Mike genuinely cares about his couples. He never felt like "just a vendor," moreso a friend who happened to be incredibly talented at his job. Whether it was helping us shorten (and i mean SHORTEN) our first dance song, flawlessly timing every ceremony and reception cue, or accommodating a last-minute surprise from my mom during my parents' welcome speech, he handled everything with professionalism, kindness, and enthusiasm. Mike somehow became the hero of multiple moments without missing a beat. My husband INSISTS the only reason he cried when I walked down the aisle was because of the song choice & timing, so thanks for that Mike. And when my sweet brother, our officiant, completely blanked on the final words to announce us as husband and wife, Mike instantly recognized what was happening and seamlessly started the music, saving the moment before anyone even realized there was a hiccup. On a day when there are a million things competing for your attention, Mike quietly handled so many details behind the scenes that we never had to think about. As for our reception, we gave Mike almost no direction beyond "read the crowd & do your thing," and he absolutely crushed it. The dance floor was packed all night long. Every time we looked around, our guests were dancing, laughing, and having the time of their lives. His ability to read a room and create the perfect energy is honestly incredible. What impressed us most was how calmly and professionally he handled everything that came his way, even challenging situations that could have easily disrupted the night (rowdy plus 1s with no life). Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, rattled him. The music, energy, and flow of a wedding can truly make or break the entire celebration, and Mike made ours. He played such a huge role in making it one of the best days of our lives. We would recommend him a thousand times over! Mike somehow managed to be the MVP of our wedding without ever making the day about himself.

Mike was absolutely incredible—truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!

From the very beginning, he was in constant communication with us, making sure every detail was covered. He struck the perfect balance of being highly professional and knowledgeable while still feeling completely down to earth and easy to work with. We felt confident in his hands every step of the way.

During the ceremony, Mike was flawless. One moment that really stood out was how he seamlessly extended the music for my grandmother as she made her way down the aisle—no stress, no awkwardness, just pure professionalism and care. It meant so much to us and showed how attentive he is in real time.

He also went above and beyond in the most personal ways. He remembered a couple from a previous wedding, played their first dance song, and even danced with them. That kind of thoughtfulness and connection is rare and made the night feel even more special.

When it came to the reception, Mike absolutely delivered. He kept the energy up all night, read the room perfectly, and had everyone on the dance floor from start to finish. The party never slowed down.

By the end of the night, Mike didn’t just feel like our DJ—he felt like part of the family. We can’t recommend him enough.

When my mother and I called Mike we knew immediately he was the one we NEEDED as our DJ. He was humble, respectful, honest and funny. And needless to say the dancefloor was never empty!!!

We cannot say enough great things about Mike Simmons from Must Be the Music DJs. We used Mike for our September wedding at Deerfield.
Mike has so many years of experience in the industry, and it truly shows. He was not only incredibly professional and responsive, but also such a helpful resource throughout the entire planning process. During the year leading up to our wedding, he checked in with us every couple of months to make sure everything was going smoothly and to see if we needed anything at all.
We also added uplighting, which I absolutely loved. Because Mike has DJ’d at Deerfield so many times over the years, he knew exactly where to place the lights to make the space look amazing. I also loved the detail of being able to pick our design to be displayed on the screen of his DJ booth. Everything felt perfectly thought out.

Mike’s main focus was keeping people on the dance floor, and he absolutely delivered. He truly made our reception a party. The dance floor was never empty, and we all had so much fun!

We would recommend Mike to anyone without hesitation!

We could not have been happier with our experience with Mike for our wedding! He truly was phenomenal from start to finish. He was professional, organized, and fun to work with. The music was exactly the vibe we were going for during our reception, and it was a packed dance floor all night. It was a great feeling knowing we could trust Mike for our music from the ceremony to cocktail hour to the last song of the night! He really brought the energy for the introductions and first dances! Must Be the Music DJs is worth every penny and we HIGHLY recommend for your wedding or event!

Mike is the best DJ in the business. He was beyond amazing for our wedding and ensured our day ran smoothly! He listed to all our requests and was able to read the dance floor throughout the night perfectly. Mike was one of the most complemented details that guests have emphasized after our special day. Choosing Mike was the best decision we made and he is the ONLY DJ that I will be recommending!!

Working with Mike throughout our wedding planning was so easy! He was very responsive and listened to everything we wanted/didn’t want and made it happen. Music during the ceremony and cocktail hour sounded great. The music flowed perfectly at the reception and he did an amazing job with any announcements we needed (bridal party, first dances, cake cutting, etc.). He really made sure our day was as perfect as it could be. Music can make or break a wedding and our dance floor was packed the whole time! We loved working with Mike and would definitely recommend him!

Mike was wonderful to work with! He was professional and made our lives easy from start to finish. Highly recommend!

We had a really small, non-traditional wedding, and he absolutely nailed it. From the start he was so helpful and easy to work with…super responsive, flexible, and just got the vibe we were going for.

He blended everything together perfectly from ceremony music, background playlists, and just the right energy for our little group. You could tell he genuinely cared about making the day feel special and personal.

We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. Highly recommend him for anyone who wants someone kind, professional, and great at reading the room.
