    The Perfect Night

    I was referred to Mike through another DJ after we said we wanted someone who was able to mix music and make the reception more club-esque. Immediately hit it off after discussing our music taste and how we want the night to go. Mike had us work with his protege Tyler who gave us the perfect reception. Mike and Tyler are fantastic DJ’s and know how to keep the dance going and what it takes to get people dancing. I cannot wait to recommend them both and attend the next wedding they’ll be at.

    Fantastic DJ, highly recommend

    I booked DJ MN as I have seen his work at other weddings and had him as my first choice. Everything was very professional and more than I could have imagined with the results. He went above and beyond, kept everything running smoothly and on time. The packages he offers are very affordable for everything he offers. My wedding day would not have been nearly as perfect without DJ MN as my DJ. Would highly highly recommend for anyone’s wedding day or event!

    Our Wedding Day!

    We started looking for a DJ a little late in the wedding planning game, but thanks to DJ Mike Nelson, he was able to move some things around for us and make it happen! And we're so happy he did, because through the whole process and last minute changes, he was incredible!!

    Unforgettable Wedding Night Thanks to DJ Mike!

    We recently had the pleasure of working with DJ Mike for our wedding, and we cannot express enough how grateful we are for the incredible atmosphere he created. From the first consultation to the last dance, Mike demonstrated unparalleled professionalism, expertise, and a genuine passion for his craft.

    The music selection was nothing short of perfection. Mike took the time to understand our musical preferences and seamlessly blended them with his own expertise to create a playlist that catered to all generations and kept the dance floor alive throughout the night. Our guests were raving about the diverse range of songs and how Mike managed to strike the perfect balance between crowd-pleasers and unique, personalized choices.

    Not only did Mike deliver on the music front, but he also proved to be an exceptional emcee. His announcements were clear, engaging, and added just the right touch of charisma to the evening. It was evident that he had a keen sense of timing, effortlessly transitioning between different parts of the celebration and ensuring the night flowed seamlessly.

    DJ Mike went above and beyond to accommodate special requests and surprise elements we had planned. He took the time to coordinate with other vendors, ensuring that everyone was on the same page and contributing to the overall success of the event. His attention to detail and commitment to making our wedding day unforgettable did not go unnoticed.

    The lighting and sound setup provided by Mike were top-notch, creating a visually stunning and immersive experience for our guests. The dance floor was transformed into a vibrant and energetic space, thanks to his expert use of lighting effects and carefully curated playlists.

    Perhaps what sets Mike apart is his ability to read the crowd and adapt the music accordingly. He effortlessly gauged the energy of the room, ensuring that the dance floor was always buzzing with excitement. The positive energy he exuded was infectious, creating an atmosphere of pure joy and celebration.

    In summary, DJ Mike exceeded our expectations in every way. His passion for music, dedication to his clients, and unwavering professionalism make him an exceptional choice for any event. Our wedding day wouldn't have been the same without him, and we wholeheartedly recommend Mike to anyone seeking an extraordinary entertainment experience.

    Thank you, Mike, for playing such a pivotal role in making our wedding day truly magical.

    Phenomenal

    DJ Mike comes highly recommended from the Ferry’s! We had a very short 3 month engagement and wedding planning is not my thing. We were planning on our own googling what to do as we went along. I found a list of questions that sent sent out to a number of DJs thinking this was what I was suppose to do and they all write back sorry we’re booked or gave me no response. DJ Mike emailed back and answered every question thoroughly. We were so impressed we sent up a meeting right away. We already new by the answers he gave us that we wanted him as our DJ but after meeting with him we felt as though we were his only clients and that he for sure was going to give us the best night ever! And he did! Like I said before I was clueless about what I was doing for planning and in the end everything was perfect and we had so many compliments on the amazing DJ we had. He walked through it all with us was engaged in the who process and what we wanted and really made our night! We would hire DJ Mike one million times over! Thank you for helping make our wedding so perfect!

    Great Energy and Entertainment

    DJ Mike was incredible! We told him that our biggest priority was getting people out on the dance floor and he delivered. We had such a great time working with him. He really personalized our music. Can’t recommend him enough.

    The best of the best!

    DJ Mike was a dream to work with for our wedding. I was nervous to find a DJ given my husband and I have two very different tastes in music and style. Mike took our vision and created the most beautiful day for us & our guests. His ability to read and engage with the crowd was outstanding. He captured some of the best & funnest moments on video and created a snapshot we will watch and replay for FOREVER! There is hands down not a better DJ for your wedding or event other than Mike. He is the best in the business and exceeded all of our expectations by a long shot. We wish we could relive this day over and over again thanks to his services and special touches!

    The perfect day!!

    Mike made sure we had the most perfect day. He went above and beyond what we asked of him and was so easy to work with! I’ve never had so many people compliment the music at a wedding, but I had SO many people go on about how great our party was thanks to the music and lighting! It was beautiful and we couldn’t be more happy with our decision on hiring Mike! The sparklers during our first dance were magical!!

    Class Act all the way around!

    Dj Mike is a rare diamond! Mike is not just a DJ....he is a lighting production genius. Mike was involved from the beginning to end of planning and executing my daughter's wedding. We used almost every service he offered (photo booth, the band (Bourbon Creek), DJ, Lighting, Cold Sparklers, Wedding Ceremony Sound Equipment, etc.). Mike has mastered the art of this business. More importantly he kept the entire wedding and reception on schedule which was very important to me. He is a class act and any couple lucky enough to get on his calendar for their wedding will have no regrets. I promise you it will be what your guests and you remember the most.

    Everyone danced all night long!!

    We've all been to those weddings before, where people don't really dance. When we were looking for a DJ, we wanted to be sure we found someone who would really keep the crowd engaged and entertained. We were recommended by a friend who had seen him at another wedding. We hit the JACKPOT! From our first email with Mike to our planning conversations and to our wedding day, he could not have been better. Easily the best decision we could have ever made! He kept the dance floor going all night! The lights, the sound, the whole night was just spectacular! We still have friends and family that are raving about how much fun they had at the party. Thank you, Mike, so much. We are so grateful for all your work, you gave us a day that we will always remember in the best way!

    Mike was an amazing DJ and person to work with. He was there through all the ups and downs of planning our wedding during a world wide pandemic. He was amazing the day of the wedding and kept things moving throughout the day smoothly and the day went perfectly!

    Dj Mike Nelson is AMAZING

    You will not be disappointed if you go with Dj Mike Nelson for your wedding. He was so easy to work with! The videos he made for our first dances were great, people are still talking about them. Do yourself a favor and hire him. You will thank me later!

    Duluth, MN Wedding

    DJ Mike Nelson was without a doubt the easiest piece of the wedding planning puzzle. I had 100% faith in him since the very first night we spoke on the phone. I trusted him to do what he does best and that’s exactly what he did. He also added a lot of fun suggestions that we didn’t think of to make our event a more fun experience. Everyone at our wedding loved what he was doing, and I don’t know if I’ve ever seen so many people stay out on the dance floor for so much of the night! I tend to be very particular about things and can be very detailed with how I want things and Mike was so easy to get along with. Save yourselves some headaches, hire him!

    Excellent DJ

    DJ Mike was great! When our original DJ cancelled 2 days before the wedding, DJ Mike was miraculously available. He made it easy and stress-free for us. He was organized and detail-oriented. He was very accommodating to what we wanted and even went out of his way to contact a composer to purchase a specific song I wanted for the ceremony. He has a ton of experience, so he also was able to recommend things that we hadn't even thought of! We would highly recommend DJ Mike to anyone for their special day!

    Best wedding DJ

    Mike Nelson is an amazing dj and everyone that came to our wedding couldn't stop saying how much they enjoyed him and how he is the real deal. He keeps everyone on the dance floor and the lighting is amazing. He plays all types of music and keeps all ages going all night. We have been to lots of weddings and he is by far the best every time we leave a wedding we always say wow I'm so happy are dj was awesome because these other dj can't even compare to how good Mike Nelson is and good is an understatement!

    Incredible

    DJ Mike was so helpful! Our night was perfect. Everyone had an amazing time & it showed. A few weeks before the wedding, he called to go over every detail of the reception so that he could facilitate and keep the evening moving. I didn’t know we needed that, but it helped our reception stay on track so everyone could enjoy themselves. I didn’t have to worry about a thing & he DJed in a way that everyone enjoyed.

    Everything you could ask for, and then some.

    DJ Mike Nelson is a professional. You want someone with fresh ideas, nice equipment, and a great personality. This guy delivers. Not only can he DJ music to keep you and your guests entertained all night, you will find it really hard to leave the dance floor. The process leading up to our big day was effortless for us as he would work around our schedules. We had a video package for our first dance and it was absolutely perfect. He had a very special surprise for us as he somehow managed to get the MN Twins broadcaster Dick Bremer to introduce us into our reception!! Incredible!! If you are looking for your wedding DJ, look no further. DJ Mike Nelson is the man for the job!

    DJ Mike Nelson is KING!

    Look no further! I could not have asked for a better DJ than DJ Mike Nelson! He is so personal and easy to work with and you can tell his main goal to is to help make your day go exactly as planned so you don't have to worry about anything the day-of. Our dance floor was completely packed the entire night and the way he transitions between songs to ensure there is no down time is second to none to accomplish this. All of our guests had a blast and I received more compliments on our DJ than anything else throughout our whole day. The extras he provides also make him stand out against any other DJ's I looked into. He put slideshows together for us that played during all of our first dances that were so special to us and a great way to incorporate pictures of each of us growing up and our families without taking extra time away from the reception. He also went above and beyond and helped with the sound at our ceremony during the last minute, which was HUGE and helped prevent a lot of stress that day as well. He seriously helped make our day perfect, was so easy to work with, and I have not stopped singing his praises and recommending him to everyone I know. BOOK HIM ASAP. You will not be disappointed and you'll be getting compliments and people will be talking about how fun your wedding was for years to come!!!

    Added the extra touch to complete the day!

    Everything was great! Felt he went beyond his duty to help out and took care of things to keep some of the stress, of the big day, off of us. He was very good at keeping everyone entertained and on the dance floor all night. The videos for the first dances were on point and definitely added to our day!
