    Fantastic!

    Chris was an absolute pleasure to work with! He was quick to respond, very helpful with our music selection, and did a fantastic job being the MC and DJ throughout the wedding. I told Chris we wanted everyone dancing at the reception and he definitely delivered. The dancefloor was packed all night! We received a lot of compliments after from our guests about what a great job Chris did and how much fun it was. I would highly recommend!

    Fun and Professional

    Chris with Music Makes You Happy was amazing at my daughter's wedding. He was such a professional and was fully engaged and kept everything moving so smoothly. He is everything you could want in a DJ - a master emcee and a great ability to read the crowd and keep it fun! Ricky was also DJing and was so fun and energetic! Great team and they made the night unforgettable!

    The best of the best!

    We own the venue and would choose no other DJ for our daughters wedding than the one we watch knock it out of the park EVERY TIME! Chris’s attention to the details (and not just on the dance floor!) and customer care was beyond our expectations and his ability to read the crowd and deliver the best experience is his super power! The party begins when Music Makes You Happy arrives!!

    Chris Went Above and Beyond

    Chris was hands down one of the best parts about our wedding day at the Historic Post Office. We hired him after attending a wedding that he was the DJ for in 2022, and he was even better than we expected at our own wedding. Communication was seamless from the start, and on top of the easy to use portals for curating playlists, he is so kind and thoughtful which added such a personal touch to our wedding. Chris went above and beyond to make sure that we were taken care of all night, and he was constantly checking on our bridal party and family members as well to make sure that we had everything we needed! Even our parents commented on how great Chris was at attending to all the guests. He kept the dance floor hopping, and our guests are still raving about it. We highly recommend Chris to anyone in the Hampton Roads area and we wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to DJ our wedding!

    Everything we wanted AND MORE!

    From day one, the communication, patience and attentiveness was spot on. Chris answered the thousands of questions I had with quick and informative responses and kept me comfortable and confident throughout the entire planning process.
    Shane was our DJ for the day of our wedding, and he was so much fun! We had three surprise choreographed dances throughout our wedding day and he managed to keep them all straight, flowing AND keep them secret! He also kept up with our multi-music walks up and down the aisle with ease. On top of everything, he kept the guests engaged and kept them DANCING! We had over 40 people on our little dance floor for a good portion of the night and everyone continued to tell us how much fun they had on the dance floor and in the photobooth (also provided by MMYH). All in all, our day was perfect, and Music Makes You Happy played a major part in that!!

    Music definitely made us happy!

    Music Make You Happy was hands down the best, and most perfect choice for our wedding. Our DJ, Chris, was professional and SO fun to work with! He took all of our special requests into consideration, which included: a dollar dance and a wedding mosh pit. Nearly all of our guests were up and dancing for the duration of the reception and every song he played for us was spot on to our tastes. He was able to even pull up and play songs that may not have been easy to find, just to be sure we had everything we wanted. I highly recommending hiring Music Makes You Happy Entertainment of you are in the VA Beach area and looking for the perfect DJ.

    Go w/ Them! Alan was AMAZING

    We initially were getting married in May and that was the date I initially gave Chris (the owner). But we ended up changing the date to January 14th, they were great with our change of date and very flexible with us in this way. On the day of the wedding, Alan arrived and was very helpful with everything as was AMAZING, we got married at the Aquarium on Roanoke Island in the Outer Banks and he worked with us and where we wanted things set up and the music we wanted. He was so fun and energetic and it was also my birthday and he got everyone to sing me Happy Birthday. When the Anniversary Dance came he did amazing and for the last couples that were standing, he asked them what advice they had for us as the newlyweds. Overall, it was an amazing experience with the company and the people. I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for a DJ in the Outer Banks or the Hampton Roads area. They arent just DJs but they help you in any way that can and are excited to help.

    More Than just a DJ - Highly recommend

    Chris Rice is far more than just a DJ. He is very organized, pays attention to detail and communicates with all the vendors, keeping everything on tract and flowing. He goes above and beyond to insure EVERYONE has fun.

    10/10 experience!

    Alan from Music Makes You Happy made our vision come to life. He worked so closely with us to ensure our personalities came through the music. Our guests were on the dance floor all night, and are still texting us about how awesome the music was. Alan also brought a full Photo Booth set up, and it exceeded my expectations. I cannot shout this from a high enough mountain top, hire Music Makes you Happy Entertainment for your event NOW!

    Music Makes You Happy

    Could not be happier with our choice of using “Music Makes You Happy”. Staff was friendly, accommodating, flexible, affordable, and truly cared about our guests having a good time. We had our wedding at a church, our reception at another venue, and had cocktail hour out side. The crew made sure we had music at all of our different spots with no delay in service. Our DJ Chris responded to the crowd and kept our guests on the dance floor all night. He would continuously check in with us in case we had any requests or even if we needed a drink. To me Chris and the staff at “Music makes you Happy” not only care about providing a quality experience, but they seem to truly care you and your guests have a great time. A+

    The best dj ever!

    HIGHLY recommend them!!! After my first phone conversation with Chris, I knew we would book them as our wedding DJ. Chris during all of our interactions was professional, honest, helpful and hilarious! On our big day he went through everything with me to make sure I knew what was happening and that we were on the same page. He stepped in to help dig up the bourbon (we COULD NOT find it lol!), he was making sure we had drinks the whole night, his timing and execution of everything was perfect. On top of the fact that him and Mike (we got a surprise that both Mike and Chris were going to DJ!) are phenomenal DJs and can read a room like nothing else. They made our reception SO FUN!! We were dancing all night. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Chris and Mike. They truly care about people and went above and beyond to make our day so so special!! WE LOVE YOU CHRIS AND MIKE!! Love, The Pizanies :]

    Hands down best DJ!

    My venue had preferred vendors and the DJ's were one of them. I settled on Music Makes You Happy (MMYH) and 1 other DJ. I asked another vendor I was close with if she worked with either and she suggested MMYH. After speaking with them and looking at their packages again, I went with them and chose their All Nighter Package. It included up lights and a photo booth. Throughout the whole process, they made it super easy with their questionnaires. Our family and friends love to party so an amazing DJ was a must have. MMYH did not disappoint. Mike Dodson was our DJ and amazing to have as a part of my vendor team.

    Above and beyond

    If we could give 6 out of 5 stars, we would.... Chris at Music Makes You Happy Entertainment went above and beyond! You can tell they know what they are doing!!! From the beginning, we were giving access to questionnaires and a music portal to add song requests. All bases were covered and we had no worries going into our big day. Chris was professional, a great speaker, interacted and engaged our crowd, and even took care of our guests by bringing them drinks during cocktail hour. He could read the room and the music choices were on-point for our rowdy group. The sound systems were a such good quality and they worked so well with our other vendors to set everything up. YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WITH CHOOSING MUSIC MAKES YOU HAPPY!

    Exceeded our expectations!

    We are beyond pleased with Chris Rice and Music Makes You Happy! Chris was a phenomenal deejay. From the moment the ceremony wrapped up, Chris hand brought my husband and I our drink of choice. He always made sure we had a drink in our hand and we absolutely loved this because neither of us had time to run to the bar for a drink and thanks to Chris we did not need to.

    Chris was on top of everything I had asked of him even with a few last minute changes, he nailed it. From smooth transitions before the grand entrance to the dances to the speeches. Chris also has an infectious energy about him. I received so many compliments from my guests about Chris.

    Chris was easy to work with from the start when my husband and I first reached out. We knew right away we wanted to work with him just off of our initial phone conversation. Also the system he uses to help his couples select the music playlists and do not playlist is easy and not time consuming at all.

    Chris kept the party going from start to finish! We loved how he made sure we were on the dance floor before he played our favorite songs. Chris is fun and energetic and everything we hoped we’d have in a deejay. We will always recommend Chris Rice and Music Makes You Happy.

    10/10 for our experience with Music Makes Us Happy, we couldn't have asked for more. We worked with Chris Rice and he was amazing! Professional and courteous he had our guests up and dancing the evening away. With the questionnaires we filled out and the conversations we had he really got the vibe of our event and he delivered an amazing musical experience. Music really did Make Us Happy!

    Add Music Makes You Happy Team to your guest list

    During our time working with Chris Rice he was exceptional in that he went above and beyond for us. Chris was super helpful during our planning process. During our big day Chris mixed and mingled with our guests making sure that our guest were content and didn't need anything. Chris brought music to our ceremony at the beach along with microphones for our officiant. Chris took requests for songs and played them throughout the night. Chris also took into account our "do not play list" and ensured he cleared songs with myself and husband before he played them. Chris was phenomenal throughout our entire day and can't thank him enough for his time.

    Best Experience Ever

    Our day of coordinator recommended Chris and MMYH as our DJ as soon as we started looking. It was one of the best decisions we could have made. Chris ended up being the DJ for our wedding and was beyond helpful and professional. He made sure my brother (our Officiant), and our readers were all set up for the ceremony and that my Dad was good to go on his speech at the reception. We didn't give him a ton of direction with music but he played everything we could of wanted and the vibes were great the whole night. He was accommodating with some random special requests (like a birthday shout out) and made sure my husband and I had the best night. He even played a song during cocktail hour that we got to dance to before everyone came down for the reception, it was so memorable and special to us. We were overwhelmed with how awesome he made our day! 1000% recommend him!!!

    Amazing DJ company!!

    We had Chris do our wedding and he knew exactly what I was looking for with my music taste, he was able to keep people on the dance floor and allow slow songs for breaks in the intense dancing. He deserves an 11/10 review because of how awesome he did!! I cannot recommend this company more, very professional, and made us feel like the star of the show!!!
