    A great party!

    Mike was amazing to work with. Not only was he down to earth and easy to talk to but his style was exactly what we wanted. His partner Dave Dj’d our wedding and everyone talked about how amazing he was. He kept the party going all night and everyone had a BLAST! He added personal touches for us and our families and made our day so special

    Awesome all around!

    Mike was fantastic. He was extremely responsive throughout the planning process, and provided great perspective / tips that helped us make decisions. It is very obvious that he has a ton of experience and truly knows what he's doing. The wedding day went exactly as planned - Mike was able to corral the crowd and keep us on track. He also kept everyone dancing all night! Go with Mike and you will not be disappointed!!

    Got everyone dancing!

    Mike was extremely helpful in the planning process and he was always available to answer questions or give guidance. His times to meet were extremely convenient. We had heard so many wonderful things about him and we were excited that he was available to DJ our reception. He read the crowd and got everyone dancing- and kept us dancing all night! 5 stars for Mike!!!!

    Kept the party going!!!

    Mike knows how to keep the party going!! For our wedding we wanted to dance the whole night and we definitely did!! We all had such a fun time! So much fun many of the guys ended up with their shirts off from sweating so much while dancing! It is something we will always remember!
    We also had Mike for our ceremony which was down by a river with no electricity. The microphone and music sounded perfect!! He kept everything running so smooth!
    Mike is so great to work with! He was always available to answer my questions and give suggestions to keep things fun and help it run smooth! I trusted that Mike would keep the party going and he definitely did! Thank you for helping make our wedding so perfect!!

    Mike Connolly-Amazing

    Mike was absolutely the best DJ ever. He played the best music, read the crowd, made announcements when appropriate, gave me the microphone to sing :), and made my husband and I feel amazing. At the end of our wedding we people asking his name and telling us they loved our DJ and they had never been to a wedding before where the DJ was that amazing. Mike Connolly is a must have at your wedding!

    Amazing!!!

    Mike kept the party going the whole night! Every one of all ages had a great time on the dance floor. Mike took a picture of us during our first dance and sent it to us the same night. It was the first picture that we had as a newlywed until our photographer sent us our pictures. 100 % recommend.

    5/26/19 Wedding @ Riverview

    Mike was truly AMAZING!! From start to finish, he was the best! He was the first vendor we decided we wanted to use, and was extremely knowledgable, patient, informative and most importantly he ROCKED the dance floor all night! The music choices were amazing and we are SO SO thankful we went with Mike. All of our guests (of all ages!) keep saying how amazing the dancing part of the night was. Thanks Mike!

    Wedding DJ

    Mike just did our wedding on Saturday November 10th and we couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. We knew he was great from the first time we met with him and he made everything we asked for happen. He gave us the best advice and it was clear that he truly cared about making our evening perfect. He was so attentive to us throughout the evening and even checked in to see if there was anything he could do or if we wanted any specific songs played. He listened to all of our requests and we heard all of the songs we had asked for! Mike went above and beyond to accommodate everything we wanted and even made some last minute changes go smoothly without a hiccup. Everything from the cocktail hour music, dinner music, introductions, first dance, parent dances, and reception songs were amazing and we received so many compliments on the music and his work. We even extended the reception an hour and we could not believe how many people were still on the dance floor at 11:30 pm. Even the last song had everyone going and ready for our after party. We have received so many compliments from our wedding guests about our DJ and our family and friends had an amazing time. We highly recommend Mike Connolly Sound Productions. We had the best night of our lives and could not stop singing and dancing!! Thanks again Mike!!

    Dave is so much fun! The music at our wedding was very important to us, we wanted to make sure it stood out as one of the greatest details of the day, and Dave absolutely delivered and did not disappoint! He was charismatic, attentive, and knew exactly what songs to play at the right times. He kept people out on the dance floor and even stayed a little later at the end of the night because everyone was having so much fun.

    Mike is OUT OF THIS WORLD!! Our wedding was such a blast and the dance floor was NEVER empty. So many of my guests said that they had the most fun that they have ever had a wedding. Mike felt the crowd out and played the perfect music to keep the guests out on the dance floor. The intros and all formalities were awesome as well. Mike never missed a beat. He is so organized and easy to work with. He is not only wonderful at his job, but is such a genuinely great person as well. I will continue to recommend Mike to all of my family and friends.

    Mike was the DJ at our wedding in August 2018 and he was absolutely amazing. Both our venue and photographer have worked with Mike before and told us we made a really good choice in picking Mike as our DJ and they highly recommend him. He kept our dance floor packed the entire evening, played music of all types and for all ages. All of our guests raved about how awesome our DJ was and said they couldn’t get off the dance floor!
    Mike helped us with our entire timeline for the night and made sure that the up lighting was perfect for our venue. He gave his honest opinion as to what would or would not work, it was very easy to trust his opinion. He gave us great suggestions not only for songs and up lighting, but also gave us a great suggestion for an “guest book alternative” the first time we met with him and we used the idea. We highly recommend Mike for anyone looking for a wedding DJ.
    We can’t thank you enough making our day so special and fun!

    We knew we were going to be in good hands when we hired Mike. He helped us every step of the way from song selection, to timeline, to reading the crowd and keeping the party going all night. We received several comments the next day from guests who really enjoyed the variety of music that was played at our wedding. Mike kept us on schedule and worked with our photographer to make sure every important moment was captured. We would recommend him to anyone!

    We met with a few DJs and unfortunately had some odd encounters. After feeling a little frustrated my husband and I reached out to Mike Connolly who freed up his schedule within that week to meet with us. I had asked for his card a few months earlier when he was DJing an Aqua Turf event in Southington. We also were able to experience his style at New Year's Eve! Mike was incredibly accommodating and took the time to get to know us before jumping right into business. We felt comfortable to tell him exactly what we wanted and he would be honest with how that would work or not work at our venue or within our timeline for the night. Communication with him was super easy throughout the entire process and if I needed to ask a question or make a change to a few of our set songs I could easily send him a text and it was all set.
    Originally, my husband and I were going to try and save money by utilizing a speaker/iPhone during the ceremony but, as we got closer to our big day we didn't feel comfortable putting someone in charge of that responsibility so in a little bit of a panic Mike quickly calmed us down and worked with our budget to have a system setup during the ceremony. I HIGHLY recommend Mike for any of your event needs! He knows what he is doing and didn’t take it to heart when we told him we were looking for someone who didn’t do a lot of talking! We had some high demands and my husband was very picky with what songs he wanted and did not want, which did not steer Mike away. We had a song set for our last song of the night and Mike simply told us it probably wasn’t the best choice. He asked if we trusted him based on our diverse playlist off a high amount of pitbull and queen songs. We said yes and he ended our night with “Don’t Stop the Party- by Pitbull” He got to know us and picked the perfect way to go out with a bang on our wedding night! Thank you SO much Mike!

    Mike is just a stud at what he does! He was absolutely awesome to have as our wedding DJ for SO many reasons! He is beyond professional, punctual, thorough, fun, and honestly an easy to talk to kind of guy! He covered it all for us... ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception music all set up himself! He made our work easy when it came to planning & keeping us on track even building up to the day, and never once did I feel like our music/DJ was something I had to worry about! As a bride with a very large guest list... that is a HUGE compliment! He was a blast to have, and he definitely took care of not only me & the groom, but our entire party as well! He had the entire place up and dancing the WHOLE time! Old, young, and everything in between, music taste of all types, and no one missed a beat! He made our wedding personal with a couple suggestions/gestures, and took the time to get to know us, even from far away, so he could better connect with us on our day and know really what we wanted! I would recommend him to anyone and everyone, certainly for a wedding DJ, but really anyone needing an all around great guy who offers great service... he will not disappoint, I promise!! He obviously has great experience, has great equipment, great sound quality, and has experience even with some photography so he has an eye for aesthetics when setting up too. An example of this... my ceremony had to move inside due to rain and he was the one to suggest moving our candles and braided cord display to the other side so his lighting and equipment wouldn't be in the photos. He works great coordinating with others and is all about a great performance with no fuss or stress from the couple. He is spoken very highly of from other vendors such as Simply K Studios (photography), and boy was that a great referral that I will gladly share as well now! Thank you Mike, from the bottom of our hearts for making our day as great as it was, and for being such a big part of it!

    If you on the fence about uplighting for your wedding day, trust that it is so worth it and we’re so glad we found Mike! Mike was so easy to work with and his lighting added that magic touch to our wedding. The lighting totally made the atmosphere at the reception that much better and also made all the photos look amazing. Mike was very professional and great at his job, we’d highly recommend him!

    BOOK MIKE! He was incredible. People were on the dance floor the entire night! He took care of everything for me and I didn't have to worry one bit about the extra details. Ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, dancing--it was all perfection! He is also the nicest guy to work with! He made my wedding day literally the best day of my life!! Thanks Mike!

    Mike is a real class act. From the moment my husband and I talked to him on the phone, I knew that we were in good hands. Not only did he play amazing music all night, he made sure everyone was having a great time. I had several guests come up to me saying how wonderful he was and that they thought he was actually in charge of the venue! Matt and I can't thank you enough Mike for providing great music and positive vibes the whole night!

    Mike Connolly is the best at what he does! I would recommend him to anyone planning a wedding. Speaking to multiple other vendors, they recommended him as well. When you hire Mike, he makes sure that the bride and the groom are the stars of the show. Others I had met with seemed to into themselves and making it more about them. Mike was very easy to work with. He has an online system to create lists of love songs, would like to play songs, and do not play songs. So, he truly understands what type of music you are looking for. At the wedding, there were unforeseen circumstances and we had to stop the dancing and music for a little bit. Mike stayed until the very end so my husband and I could have our last dance played. I am so grateful that we were still able to have that moment. I couldn’t be happier with my decision to go with Mike Connolly Sound Productions!

    We would first say that we decided on Mike Connolly before we even got engaged! Having a relative that’s worked with him at countless weddings we didn’t even choose to look at anyone else. Mike is fantastic – from our initial meeting to the day of our wedding Mike always made himself available for questions and concerns and responded quickly. Since he was well known to our venue and other vendors everything on our wedding day went super smooth. While all our requests were played, he also chose songs that fit the day well! What we appreciated most about Mike was his calm demeanor. We were incredibly pleased with his professionalism and also appreciated the big hugs when we arrived to our venue from the church and were able to do a quick run through of our big introductions. You know you have a good DJ when the bride’s bustle busted a few times from dancing! We would highly recommend Mike Connolly for any event – he’s the best!

    Mike was great! We initially met w/ Mike via phone and then a couple days before our wedding. His software to create 'must plays' and 'do not plays' was a great idea and he got a great idea of the type of music we wanted and he stuck with it. The dance floor was FILLED as soon as the first song played and did not clear until the last song. I would highly recommend Mike Connolly to anyone for any event.

    Mike Connolly is an amazing DJ! From the initial meeting with him where he gave us a CD with music ideas, to the paperwork for songs we'd need to think about/decide on, all the way to the end of the reception, he was tremendous! Mike is a true professional. He clearly takes pride in his work and his reputation. He was well organized, kind, and flexible with any last minute song or reception requests. He helped out with seating ideas for group pictures at the reception. He also continuously checked in with me and my husband during the reception to see if there was anything he could do for us. All my guests kept gushing about what a great DJ he was! He played a great variety of songs that kept the energy up during the reception. He ensured he knew the pronunciation of the people he'd be introducing. He also gave a heads up to me and my husband when it was the last 15 minutes of the reception so we could take care of any last minute 'hellos' etc. Mike is the kind of person you dream about finding for a wedding. He did everything right and made sure the night was all about the bride and groom. If you're looking for a true professional who will help you achieve the perfect event, hire him!

    Mike was very helpful during the planning process. He worked with my venue, The Riverhouse, many times so he helped me tremendously with the timeline of my reception. He was very professional and polite with my husband and me, but also with my guests. He was flexible during the reception and accepted special requests from family members, which was much appreciated. Mike also provided beautiful up lighting! I would recommend Mike to anyone.

    Dave of Mike Connolly was our DJ for our wedding last weekend. He did a great job with our ceremony and reception music. When we first met with Dave, he seemed experienced and professional. Another big reason that we chose to go with him is that he didn't try to use high pressure sales tactics like some other places. After our first chat with him, he left it up to us to call him to book him as our DJ. Definitely a much more pleasant experience. We didn't want to make too many decisions or be too prescriptive, so it was great to know that we could trust Dave to make our wedding day great. Everything turned out wonderfully on the day of our wedding. Another thing that was really helpful is that they provided a CD with different song suggestions for the cake cutting, bridal party intros, first dance, etc. That really helped us to find the songs for each moment.

    Mike was amazing! Mike was referred to us by a friend and once we met him we didn't even consider any other options. Professional, helpful, friendly and easy to work with. He provided me with insight and wedding day details that I hadn't even thought about. Mike did our ceremony and wedding music and it was top notch. People were on the dance floor all. night. long! The music he played made everyone happy, Everyone loved him! I wish the night could have lasted longer. If I ever need another DJ, Mike will be my first call without a doubt.

    Mike is AWESOME! He made our event so much fun and memorable for all of our guests. I knew from our very first meeting that I did not need to look any further for a DJ. Mike is professional, funny and made us feel like our wedding was important to him and not just a job. He offered great suggestions and advice for not only music but other aspects of our day to ensure a perfect event. At the start of the reception, he did a great job getting the bridal party lined up and excited for introductions. I cannot describe how amazing he was at keeping the night flowing smoothly. He kept my husband and I in the loop the entire time. Our dance floor was PACKED the entire night. Nearly 3 full hours of non stop dancing. Our guests had an absolute blast - old and young. We have heard so many times that our wedding was of the best they have ever been to and that Mike was the best DJ they had ever experienced. We could not agree more! He is truly an expert at his craft.
    One moment that really stood out for me was when my bustle ripped and my maid of honor was trying to help me fix it. Mike saw this and showed up with a flashlight and safety pins to help her out. Just one example of how he went above and beyond in making sure our wedding flowed perfectly.
    I cannot recommend Mike highly enough. He is the best in the business!

    It was such a pleasure to work with Mike for our June 11th wedding at the Madison Beach Hotel in Madison, CT! Not only did he provide the music/entertainment for our reception in the ballroom, but he also provided our ceremony music outside on the lawn/beach area. Mike has a tremendous amount of experience in the business, and he knows that it is the attention to the details that helps create the perfect reception. He went out of his way to find specific versions of some of our smooth jazz requests and other songs in order to create just the atmosphere we were looking for. During the reception itself, his announcements were performed with class and elegance, which is in stark contrast to some of the other "football announcer"- like D.J's we have seen at other weddings. Furthermore, Mike was prompt with his responses to email and always available by phone for questions or concerns. My new husband and I are extremely glad to have chosen Mike for our wedding and would

    We hired Mike Connolly Sound Productions for our wedding night December 6, 2014 at the River House at Goodspeed Station in Haddam Connecticut. Mike was so polite, accommodating, professional, and fulfilled our every need, plus some. His sound was perfect, his up lighting made our Christmas Wedding even more spectacular. Because of him our Wedding was successful and the dance floor was full till the end of the night. People laughed, people cried, and more importantly people danced the night away.

    Best DJ ever. He went above and beyond to a make our day special! He helped us plan everything and when things didn't work out as planned (because of family) he made it happen. Every guest (210 people, old and young). complimented Mike's talent. We give him 10 stars out of 5!

    Mike Connolly is a consummate professional with years of experience in the field, and it shows. Many of our guests stated that they had never had so much fun at a wedding, and we have Mike to thank for that. His motto is “no cheese” – indeed, my husband and I were looking for someone who would set the tone of the reception without stealing the spotlight. Mike listened to every one of our requests, gave his opinion when we asked, and ended up putting on a party to remember for us and our guests. We requested that he blend old classics for the relatives, new hits for the younger crowd, and Spanish music for my side of the family – and only one line dance, no more. No easy feat, yet Mike performed beautifully, and the dance floor was packed all night. He provides an easy-to-use website prior to your event where you can list every detail about your event as well as create playlists of music (e.g. “Must Play,” “Would Be Nice,” and “Do Not Play”). In addition to providing DJ services, Mike also uplit the main ballroom for dining and dancing to perfection. I cannot imagine anyone providing better service, and would recommend Mike Connolly for any elegant, classy event where you want your guests to dance the night away.

Everything he said was exactly what we wanted in a DJ for our wedding! He made our day so fun and kept everyone dancing all day long! I would highly reccomend Mike Connolly for any and all occasions!!

    Mike is a true professional and an excellent DJ. It was reassuring having him there on our wedding day because he was always two steps ahead of what was going on, and calmly communicated with us what would be happening next.

    On a day when everything can be overwhelming, Mike is a rock. He is a dependable problem solver, and not an over-the-top DJ who tries to be the center of attention. Anyone who books Mike is lucky to have him as part of the festivities.

    Mike did an awesome job at our wedding at the Farmington Club. We could tell right after our first meeting with him that he would be the perfect DJ for us. He was so professional, experienced, honest and understood exactly what we wanted for music. During the wedding, he got everyone up and kept us dancing all night long. He was interactive with our guests, and we received many compliments throughout the night about the music and his outgoing personality. Thanks Mike!

    Mike was the DJ for our wedding at the Aqua Turf and he did a phenomenal job. He was very professional and easy to work with. He went above and beyond to make sure our wedding ran smoothly.

    We had a Sunday wedding so I was afraid no one would dance, but EVERYONE was out on the dance floor and stayed until the end. I have been getting nothing but complements about how great our DJ was.

    If you are looking for a professional DJ who knows how the keep the party going without being cheesy, Mike is your man!!

    I had Dave Murphy as my DJ, and he was FABULOUS! He was completely flexible and played all of the songs we wanted - even songs that he didn't have in his system! The dance floor was not empty the ENTIRE night! I kept hearing people shout, "I love this song!" Everyone had an amazing time, and it was all thanks to Dave!

    Dave never talked too much, he always focused on us. He even ran to find a cake cutter when the venue did not provide one! Some DJs end the wedding by just playing the last song and turning the lights on. He ended the night in the best way ever, with each of us giving our parents hugs, then being surrounded by the bridal party, then being surrounded by all of our guests. It was a memorable, touching way to end the evening. I will never forget it!

    Working with Mike Connolly Sound Productions was one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding! He was professional, played all the music that we wanted, and really let the party flow with enough variety to get people on the dance floor. Guests danced the ENTIRE wedding. It was a blast! He put me completely at ease and worked extremely well with the reception site staff to keep the wedding moving along and smooth. He had great energy and focused on the details. (Said everyone’s names correctly even!) If you work with him, I know you will not be disappointed!

    Mike Connolly did an amazing job with the music for our wedding! My husband and I first had a phone meeting with Mike to discuss different music for the wedding. We told him that we wanted to be dancing all night and he worked with us to make a schedule for the reception that could make time for eating, but also for a lot of dancing! We gave Mike a long list of about 40 songs and he was able to play every single one of them at the reception! Mike was also great at gathering everyone for the introductions and letting us know when the cake cutting, toasts, and other things were going to be. He made sure we knew what was going on at all times without being too pushy. The night went flawlessly and everyone had a blast! The maitre d’ even said that he has never seen so many people dancing for such a long period of time! We would absolutely recommend Mike for any wedding or event!

    Mike is, by far, the best dj out there. We asked him for a party....and a party it was! From the moment the music started, he managed to keep the dance floor packed all night. His professionalism and guidance was so helpful too. He even kept us on our schedule so that we were able to talk to our guests, yet sit and eat before starting the dancing. We have now had 5 weddings in my group of friends/ family with mike and I can only hope to have more because they have all been the best weddings!

    Mike Connolly is very personable and a lot of fun to work with. He was very professional and kept the events of the night moving, while also responding to the changes during the night (for example: many of the guests started dancing before the main course was even served and Mike started serving up great dance songs right away). Mike is very professional and enhanced the elegance of our wedding reception. It is clear that Mike enjoys and takes pride in his work.

    We are very glad that we hired Mike Connolly to be the DJ at our wedding reception and we would recommend him to anyone.

    I can't say enough about Mike Connolly Sounds productions! He is absolutely the best DJ around! I had seen him at a friends wedding and from the moment I got engaged knew I wanted him as our DJ. He wonderful from our first meeting on... He know's how to keep a crowd happy and keep the dance floor packed. Even when I would e-mail him last minute things he was very responsive and completely put my mind at ease. He had some really unique ideas which I thought were amazing and we ended up doing at our wedding. He stays away from the "cheezy" wedding songs so it was nice and refreshing. He has a wonderful personality that comes thru to everyone at the event. I can't say enough good things about him. I would highly highly recommend him to anyone!!!

    Hiring Mike was the best decision we made during the wedding process. We was professional, kind, and very easy going. His easy-to-use online system made planning very easy. Our venue was not great in "taking charge" the night of the wedding, so it was great Mike was there. He made sure everything went smoothly. The music he chose to play was excellent. Everyone old to young was very happy with the selection. Mike's prices were a little higher then the competition, but you get what you pay for! He was well worth the money, and the lighting he set up was beautiful.

    This guy knows weddings!

    So many people I talk to don't really give much thought to their DJ.... huge mistake! I would say the DJ is the most important aspect of the wedding. Your DJ is your director for the night. The DJ is responsible for guiding your guests through the night with music and announcments regarding specific marks during your reception.

    Mike is attentive, detailed and passionate about what he does. He is also the best I've come across. I'll let the guests of our wedding speak for the quality of Mikes work.
    "Wow, that was the most fun I've ever had at a wedding, it seemed like everyone was dancing all night" "Did you pick all the music, it seemed to fit you and your guests perfectly" "The lighting really gave the venue a "cool" factor" "The music had perfect flow, there were some great dancable older songs in the beginning and it slowly progressed to younger stuff as the older folks were leaving but still managed to be likeable for everyone no matter age"

    Hire Mike now! :-)

    I think we booked our DJ before our venue! It is just the most important decision of them all! They run the show and ARE the entertainment for night. Jeff, Bill and Tonya were just incredible team. Everyone raved about the music. In fact, I heard some guests saying "for once wedding music we can dance too!" Jeff is brilliant at reading the crowd and playing the music that will get guests on the dance floor. I would never ever go with anyone else for a DJ. Hands down Jeff and Mike are the BEST DJs with Bill being the best MC around!

    Mike was absolutely awesome and did everything we wanted him to do. He responded promptly to everything email i sent him and our wedding day went smoothly! I got so many compliments after the wedding about how "great the DJ was". Mike knew exactly what to play depending on the time of the night, and the crowd. We had one big party and had a blast! It would not have been possible without Mike!!

    Jeff and Bill were the best!! We met with Jeff and knew right away that we wanted to book with him, he was very easy going and willing to accomodate us to make our wedding day special! My biggest request was that my dance floor was packed all night and that my guests had a great time. This was definitely accomplished! Everyone (all ages) enjoyed themselves so much and repeatedly told us how great the music was. Jeff and Bill even got my husband on the dance floor which never happens. They checked in with us throughout the night and everything ran very smoothly! I would highly recommend their services!

    Mike was phenomenal. He provided the wedding that my husband and I had hoped for. Everyone was on the dance floor dancing for the entire wedding! All of our guests are still talking about how great the music was! We couldn't be any happier with the service he provided. Whenever we had questions Mike got back to us right away, and he went above and beyond the call of duty.

    LOVED him, LOVED him, LOVED him. Everyone was talking about the music at our June wedding. I planned the event long distance from CA, and our venue gave us a list of approved/recommended DJs. I just cut to the chase and asked our coordinator who the best one was, and without hesitation she said Mike Connolly. People could not help themselves, they were on the floor! I'd highly recommend him for any of your events.

    We feel so fortunate we had Mike as our DJ. He is down to earth, fun, caring and honest. From the first time we met with him we knew he was a perfect fit. He was always available to answer our questions and address our concerns. Going into the wedding we were concerned our "non" dancing families would leave the dance floor empty. Mike somehow made dancers out of just about everyone in attendance. It was truly amazing! I don't think we could have made a better choice.

    First let me say that Mike is a ROCK STAR!! Not only did he work with us on every detail for the Wedding music he also helped suggest things along the way. My father and I wanted to do a fun fast dance and Mike even helped mix the music for us!!! Mike has the perfect balance of professionalism and comic relief. We also got the up lighting and it was well worth it!!!! The lighting was amazing people are still talking about it.

    Mike did an wonderful job for our wedding. He kept the dance floor packed till the very last song of the night. He knew the right songs to play for our all guests. Mike helped us prepare in advance our music and the timeline for the evening. We recieved some many compliments from our guests that they DJ did an amazing job.

    Wow....what to say about Jeff Vitti & Bill. Most people seem to interview different options before settling on a vendor. We met Jeff, walked out of the office since he told us to think about it, then walked right back in and said let's get started. He was wonderful for the whole process. He took extra time to explain to us what was going to happen for the wedding and talk about other events he had been to. They contacted us to make sure we were on track with picking songs and our final meeting with Jeff he spent a while with us to come up with options and ideas to make our wedding "pop". He's not kidding when he says the upgraded system is awesome---it's better than that even for the untrained ear. He played all the songs we wanted and then some. He remembered a slight conversation we had about my love of the show "fraggle rock" and used the song when we had a full group photo. I just thought the attention to detail was awesome. The night of the wedding he and Bill kept track of where Tim & I were. They helped to keep the night flowing. THey made sure to give us a heads up when songs that we really wanted to dance to were going to play. Bill was excellent in announcing the events of the evening. They were just so wonderful in both their music and their professionalism. They are very experienced and reasonably priced. We also went ahead and had them to structural lighting--what a cool thing!! People loved the change in atmosphere with the changing songs. It is great to see pictures with the different colors because we also can remember certain songs that were played at the time just based on the lighting! I can't thank them enough for such a wonderful evening and for being so personable and friendly.

    Dave was a pleasure to work with. He was very friendly and professional. We gave Dave a couple of songs we wanted him to play and let him pick the rest of the music for the night. He did an awesome job as the dance floor was always packed!
    Thanks again for everything!

    Mike was great. Wonderful personality, fun person to work with and a very professional DJ. Whenever we had questions, he responded to emails and phone calls very very promptly. We had some specific music requests and he took our ideas and added his creative touches to our song list for the perfect mix of music. The dance floor was packed!

    Mike Connolly is absolutely the best DJ I know of for weddings, etc. After having been to my sisters wedding where his partner Dave DJ'ed I knew I wanted one of them for my own. The important thing to me was that my guests felt like they were at a very classy event, yet were having a total blast and that's exactly what we got! They don't play the typical corny/cheesey wedding stuff. Mike (and Dave) also did a great job organizing the wedding party.
    I was concerned about two things before my wedding:
    1. I've been to other weddings where the music was awful, so I thought I needed to make a huge and detailed Play/Do Not Play list, with Mike, I really only probably needed to give him guidelines and describe the feel we wanted, he totally knows what he's doing.
    2. We only had 80 guests at our wedding and being a smaller crowd, I was really afraid it would be hard to get people dancing-- not at all, Mike really "read" the crowd and played exactly what got everybody moving.

    The other aspect of Mike's job is lighting. At first we weren't going to do lighting, but then decided to go for it at the last minute and I could not be more happy about our decision! Our reception was at the New Haven Lawn Club and if you think that place could not get any more beautiful-you're wrong- it was that much more fantastic! Mike went above and beyond with our lighting and I really think it was the thing that gave our wedding that extra something special and set it apart from others.
    And for both music and lighting I think Mike's fee is very reasonable, especially seeing as you're getting what I think is super professional and quality service.

    I could not be more pleased with Mike for both the music and lighting-he will forever be our recommendation to all our friends and anyone having a wedding or event.
    Thank you Mike!

    Jeff and Bill were phenomenal -- they hosted the evening beautifully, kept it running smoothly, had not ONE issue and in fact, they were able to track me and my husband down as were were running around the reception every time there was a special dance/toast, etc.

    I loved the lighting package we chose, and these two guys.. I can't say it enough, they were AWESOME.

    Awesome to work with, professional, great sense of humor, perfectly accommodating, everything was just a total drop dead pleasure to work with.

    Had a 185 person wedding at the Society Room of Hartford and it was fantastic.. FANTASTIC. beautifully executed.

    My husband and I found looking for a DJ to be the hardest vendor to find. We met with about 10 DJs, but we weren't happy with any of them. I spoke with an friend who’d recently gotten married. She raved over their DJ, Mike Connolly, so we knew we HAD to meet him, and we’re so happy we did! We loved how laid back and relaxed Mike was, how no nonsense, realistic, and honest he was about the day, his services, and pretty much everything. He was extremely flexible, understanding, and had some great suggestions/ideas I hadn't even thought of. For instance, like other DJs we’d met, he’d heard of our first dance song, but he was the only DJ who suggested speeding the song up slightly to be easier to dance to, saying he’d done it in the past and it’d worked out perfectly. We were also surprised to hear him suggest a cheaper lighting alternative in which he only lit the large sheer curtains in the windows instead of the whole wall. It cut the lighting cost down by a TON, and looked awesome. We left our first meeting smiling from ear to ear, ready to book him instantly. We took half a star off for a couple little mishaps day of. One was that the recessional song was wrong, but to Mike’s defense we changed the song last minute, but we had multiple people compliment us on our choice of recessional music, so it worked out fine anyway. We also had an interesting situation in which I had to dance with three dads, but my husband had no mom, so we were going to have “secret” father-daughter dances in which I picked a song to dance with each to, the photographers would be aware, but it wouldn't be announced (another great suggestion from Mike). For the last of the fathers, I wasn't informed the song was going to be played, and when it came on no one could find my dad. By the time he was found we had maybe about 30 seconds to dance, which was disappointing. Honestly, though, the amount of positive feedback we received about our DJ and the music totally outweighed this mishap!!!!

    Professional, Reliable and Rocked the party

    Mike was highly recommended by Simply K Studios my photographers and good friends. He wasn’t the cheapest but I didn’t want to risk having a terrible DJ just to save money. The DJ will make our break the party so I went with the best. Mike was the expert. I had zero idea what we wanted for music but he took my few ideas and filled in the rest. Our guests loved him. I appreciated how easy he was to work with too! He even re-Edited our first dance music cuts to make it flow better.

    Mike did a great job not only at the wedding but also helping us to prepare for the wedding. He gave us very valuable advise about timing of greeting tables and order of events at the reception. Some of the wedding vendors we worked with were so unprofessional so it meant a lot to us that Mike was so well organized and a true professional from beginning to end. From day one we were always confident that he would do a great job and he absolutely lived up to our expectations. We would highly recommend him for a wedding or event!

    We met 2 x with Mike, first with my parents to go over basics before we put down a deposit. He was very pleasant, very friendly and very open to how we wanted things to go. He was very professional during the event, I barely knew he was there. the songs we asked to be played were, and it was a good reception!

    Mike was great to work with. We had a lot of people we wanted to include in our introductions and even added some last minute and it worked out smoothly. Mike was always emailing me as soon as I emailed him with a question. The music was great at the wedding, he even played our top 10 list that we definitely wanted played. Even though it was a little hot outside, the dance floor was packed all night! He is a super nice guy and great to work with.
