DJ Troy is the BEST! He was a pleasure to work with both leading up to my wedding and on the day of. He has such a extensive knowledge of music (both current and past) which allows him to read the current vibe/mood and play the perfect song to match it. My request to him was to have people dancing throughout our entire wedding and he did just that! He brings the energy, but also somehow doesn't make it about him. We had so many guests comment on how great our DJ was and I couldn't agree more! I highly recommend him for any party! Thanks so much, Troy!! -

DJ Troy absolutely killed it, 100% would recommend hiring him for your event. His MC skills were minimal but he always kept the party going. His song transitions had our friends and family reeling - always trying to guess where he would take us next. His lighting was excellent and he brought the party to life with everything. On top of the stellar DJ work on the day of, Troy was incredibly helpful in the planning and coordinating before the wedding. He has lots of experience planning events and it shows. If you can, definitely bring him on to your wedding/event! -

When my now-husband and I decided to have a wedding, the main reason was because we wanted to have a dance party with our friends. We knew that hiring a high quality DJ was one of our top priorities. After recently attending a couple weddings with DJs who played what sounded like a Spotify playlist (complete with spaces in between songs... what the heck...) but still charged thousands of dollars, we knew that it was important to find the right person for the job. I reached out to several DJs for quotes and got a corporate or cheesy feel from many of them. Then we had our intro call with DJ Troy. Troy used the call to explain his approach to DJing, his experience and his process, and learn more about us and our guests to make sure it was a good fit. His professionalism, attention to detail and true understanding of his craft persuaded us on that call that he was the DJ we had been searching for. We booked him during that initial call. A couple months later, we had our second call with him to go over some music choices (he gave us a google doc to fill out ahead of time). At no point did we give him a playlist or even a very long list of songs or artists we wanted to have played -- we chatted with him about the overall vibe we wanted to create at different points, chose songs for select moments (bride processional, first dances, etc), gave him a short list of certain songs and artists we like, and let him work his magic for the rest! There were so many points during the event when a song would come on and I would think, I love this song! He expertly wove together all different kinds of music throughout the night and it all culminated in the final dance party, which felt like being at a super fun night club with our friends and family. He kept our guests dancing for nearly three hours! I had so many people tell me afterwards he was the best wedding DJ they had ever experienced.
A couple of big pluses -- he brought his own sound system, which was super high quality. He put lavalier mics on the officiant and my husband during the ceremony so the guests could hear what was being said. We used his mic and sound system for the speeches during the reception, which was great because our venue has a horrible sound system that renders speeches unintelligible. DJ Troy also served as our emcee, making announcements when needed but not hamming it up or telling irritating jokes. He also brought his own lights, which really enhanced the experience on the dance floor. I think the price he charges is more than reasonable given the high quality of his work and all these extras he provides.
If you love music and want a professional DJ who you can trust to do his thing and not have to give a whole playlist to, I highly recommend hiring DJ Troy to work his magic. -

I can’t say enough great things about DJ Troy!! He goes above and beyond and surprised me at how detail oriented and thoughtful he is! He is so easy to talk to too! :) He made amazing suggestions that we didn’t even think about, was so responsive and seriously the best DJ we could’ve asked for! I was constantly following up with other vendors and he was the only one actually following up with me and kept me sane. Everyone at our wedding kept coming up to us saying that the music was so good and he definitely knew what songs would hype up our crowd. We’re from the Bay but he knew exactly what to play to make the dance floor poppin. I can’t thank him enough for all that he has done. He was so essential to making our wedding the best day of our lives. Thank you DJ Troy!!!DJ Troy Michael's reply:
Angie,
Thanks for your kinda words and having me at such a beautiful wedding. Love DJing for people from the Bay. Much Mahalo!

Charmaine P. Sent on 09/25/2022GREAT DJ For Our Destination Wedding!!!
Troy was an AMAZING DJ for our destination wedding in Hawaii!!! I was a bit nervous about who to hire for a DJ since me and my husband live in California. However, working with Troy was a breath of fresh air!! Troy was very friendly, warm, and approachable, and you can tell that he clearly knew his stuff!!
Not only was planning out the music super easy to do (Troy was very organized and gave us a music document to fill out ahead of time), but he also gave great suggestions on what to do in the Oahu area, especially if you are coming to Hawaii for a destination wedding!
We got SO MANY compliments on Troy's DJ'ing throughout the wedding ceremony!! He did a great job of staying on top of the schedule and also playing all the songs we wanted to be played throughout the ceremony and reception. Troy also added in some songs in addition to what we wanted to have played, and was very intuitive in terms of what music to add to the part.
His music lit up the dance floor, and seriously... it was a CRAZY wedding lol!! My friends and family were on the dance floor the entire time!!
(In addition, his DJ table set-up was awesome and we were able to share our engagement photos on his LCD screen, which was a nice elegant touch!)
THANK YOU for your amazing DJ work, Troy!!! I highly recommend him!!! -

Don't look anywhere else for a DJ
It's been a year since our wedding and we still think that DJ Troy helped make our wedding so memorable for us and our guests. He got everyone dancing before the food even came out and some didn't even get to eat because they were too busy having fun on the dance floor. Thanks again for making our special day unforgettable DJ Troy! -

Jasmine A. Sent on 06/04/2022DJ Troy was an awesome DJ/emcee for our wedding
DJ Troy did an amazing job for our wedding; we hired him for both emcee-ing and DJ services. We would highlight the following areas where he did an especially great job and are very happy that we hired him for our wedding.
- Great communication, responsive, and easy planning process; he provides a simple planning document to capture your music and song preferences for your wedding and is quick to respond to any questions leading up to your wedding day
- Excellent at reading the room during our wedding night and adjusting the music and songs accordingly to keep the dance floor full and all of our guests happy; while DJ Troy did build on the song preferences we provided as a base, he also made multiple very intentional, real-time music adjustments to maintain high energy throughout the night that was particularly spot-on. DJ Troy is a pro!
- Professional and energetic emcee capabilities; DJ Troy lent just the right level of enthusiasm and warmth to our reception and also provided several good suggestions leading up to our event on the timing of our program and room layout that we wouldn't have thought of ourselves
- Aesthetically pleasing set-up; DJ Troy has modern equipment, great lighting, and a cool booth w/ a customizable digital screen that added to the ambiance of our reception
Because of DJ Troy, our guests were still going crazy on the dance floor much later into the night than normal weddings. All of our guests had such a fantastic time and he was critical to helping create that atmosphere for us. Thanks, DJ Troy! -

Richard A. Sent on 05/22/2022Troy is the best!
Troy was amazing, it’s like he read our minds on what we wanted to hear. He didn’t require me to give him a full playlist. He asked for preferred artists and songs and fed off of that. And he did it perfectly. A great DJ can make or break your reception. If you don’t have a great DJ to feel out the vibe of the crowd then you might as well just pull up a Spotify playlist. Troy is the best and his other reviews are no joke when they he’s the best DJ on the island.
One of our friends who got married in Hawaii hated the music their DJ played. I loved every minute of Troy’s mixes. He exceeded my expectations and a lot of our guest were requesting the playlist.
If you’re looking for the perfect DJ for a wedding, party or just anything, I would highly HIGHLY recommend DJ Troy. I didn’t include any photos cuz I didn’t take any. I was having way too much fun dancing with my family and friends that I didn’t take out my phone. He’s that good!DJ Troy Michael's reply:
Thanks for your kind words and having me at such beautiful day out at Kualoa Ranch. Much Aloha to you and Patrick! -

Lamont Sent on 12/11/2022Few people know that DJ Troy, not Mannie Fresh, is the actual DJ Weezy is referring to in his hit single "Go DJ"
Booking DJ Troy was easily one of the best and easiest decisions we made for our wedding. We're from NY and had our wedding in Hawaii so had to take a lot of leaps of faith when booking vendors. DJ Troy was the first vendor we booked and was incredibly helpful from the start, offering suggestions ranging from other vendors to local haunts to check out while in town. He was familiar with the Moana and helped us with the seating and table arrangements for the reception for optimal flow/experience. We absolutely love all kinds of music and DJ Troy did a masterful job bringing together a bunch of different sounds into a cohesive musical experience. He said confidently his goal was to get everyone out on the dance floor and he succeeded hands down; the entire reception was on the floor! The music was bumping so hard there were literally people dancing in their windows and balconies to join in on the fun. Knowing that we were from NYC, as the closing track DJ Troy mixed in Empire State of Mind to send off the night and end on a perfect high note. I highly recommend DJ Troy for your wedding as he was incredibly easy to work with, clearly loves his craft, and goes above and beyond for his clients. Go DJ, cause that's my DJ! -

Whitney G. Sent on 04/28/2022Best DJ- Guests still raving about him!
Troy was the first vendor we booked, and that was even before we signed off on our venue! Troy is hands down the best. My husband and I always looked forward to chatting with Troy because we loved talking music. We like all kinds of music: 70s, 90s, 00s, disco, r and b, Salsa, boy bands, and Bay Area rap… Troy had everyone on the dance floor all night long! He helped us with our ceremonial songs, even assisting with last minute changes for mics the day of, and when I lost the garter as the song starting playing for the garter toss- he took control and no one noticed what emergency just happened. My only request to Troy was to keep everyone dancing all night long, and the dance floor was packed the entire time. We even saw people at the hotel dancing from their balconies He was having everyone dance! Choose Troy for your wedding, it’s a no-brainer. Did I mention, he also takes the best videos and pics from his DJ booth, he is so fun! We honestly still have guests saying he was the best DJ they’d experience at any wedding, and to me, that’s saying a lot. -

Travis K. Sent on 04/19/2022DJ Troy was perfect
DJ Troy was a blessing and gave us the perfect wedding!
When we had to postpone our wedding a second time due to COVID, one of the vendors we had to replace was the DJ that we originally hired, this is when our wedding planner suggested DJ Troy. This was a total blessing in disguise, as we believe DJ Troy was the wedding DJ we always needed.
We are very particular with music and had specific songs we wanted played, we also had a surprise dance planned that Troy teed up and nailed perfectly. The cool thing about Troy is that he also has great taste, and he sold us on his abilities to feel the crowd and also on the fun of him not just playing from our specific playlist but also bringing some of his own flavor to the table based on our taste. I feel like this worked out perfectly. We had dozens of guests saying the music was great.
Throughout the preparation process Troy was always responsive when needed and after our calls with him we always came away even more excited for our event.
All in all, I would highly recommend him to anyone. -

DJ Troy was the best DJ we could have asked for! From the minute of our initial conversation with him, he was extremely helpful with tips for the wedding even outside the music realm. As for the music, our guests were consistently on the dance floor and consistently RAVING about DJ Troy, even after the wedding. Book DJ Troy for his unique (yet crowd-pleasing) music, friendliness, and being an overall great person to work with. -

DJ Troy was incredible. Prior to the wedding he took the time to get to know us as a couple so he could cater to our wedding timeline, music preferences, and the overall vibe we were hoping to achieve. His plethora of experience allowed him to hype up the crowd, make smooth transitions on the fly, incorporate Jewish music for the horah, and keep the dance floor hoppin'. He was a terrific emcee and also provided some nice uplighting to set the mood. Hire DJ Troy with confidence! -

Troy was awesome! He was so supportive from the start - setting up phone calls with us to go through our music taste and our vision for the night. Plus, I had the best time on the dance floor and saw some folks dancing that I never expected to dance at our wedding. The night was seamless and smooth thanks to Troy!DJ Troy Michael's reply:
Thanks for having me and having great taste in music. Loved being part of such a fun group of friend and family that loves to dance!
Much Aloha to you and Reed!

DJ Troy was amazing! We did not have a specific list of music we wanted him to play, instead, he asked questions about us and our wedding guests and went from there! He read the crowd really well and kept us and our wedding guests dancing all night long -- and i'm seriously not kidding, some of our guests were dancing before our program even started. Our guests kept raving about DJ Troy and how awesome the music was. You will not be disappointed! -

DJ Troy Needs a Vegas Residency!
My husband and I love music, seeing DJ's, dancing, and having a good time. The music was by far the most important part of our wedding, and we didn't want a boring wedding DJ playing all the same things you hear at every wedding. DJ Troy blew the roof off. We had our own nightclub that was all about us... from the photo of us on his DJ booth to a setlist made just for us. I love dubstep and rap, my husband loves 90's rock and mainstream EDM, and DJ Troy mixed it all. When the wedding ended at 1 a.m. nobody was ready to go back to our hotel rooms. It was so good that multiple of our guests asked if they could get the setlist, and one couple who's getting married in LA considered seeing if he would fly out. Can't recommend more!DJ Troy Michael's reply:
The Moana Surfrider After party was so much fun to DJ. Thanks for your kinds words. I actually passed up a Vegas residency years ago. The poke and weather in Hawaii is way better than Vegas!
Congrats and Much Aloha! -
