    Musical Chairs

    Even with a last minute change in DJs due to an unexpected injury, Chris made sure we were comfortable with the replacement and the replacement DJ (Freddie) was awesome. He jumped right into action talking through the schedule, songs, etc. to make the whole day perfect.
    Couldn’t have been a better experience!!

    Chris Rice did not disappoint!!

    Chris was recommended by our wedding coordinator at The Historic Post Office and with very little guidance was able to keep the attendees of our wedding entertained with music and also the photo booth for the whole night. His music selections were spot on and I myself stayed on the dance floor most of the evening. It was a great wedding and he took it over the top with the entertainment.

    Just go ahead and book!

    I would 100% recommend booking with music makes you happy! When Chris first got to our wedding he introduced himself to the bridesmaids and asked if anyone needed anything! He also came to find me to introduce him and asked if he could get me or my husband anything! He double checked the song order before starting the ceremony as well! He did an amazinggg job and kept everyone on the dance floor all night long and I honestly wouldn’t complain about anything! Super nice, efficient, professional and very friendly. It was also very easy to communicate!

    Epic Wedding, thanks to Chris Rice and Music Makes You Happy! One of my main goals was to have no downtime and no awkward moments and Chris truly del

    A true professional with the best voice you could have as a DJ and MC! The price was right and I would definitely not change a thing. I’ve never seen a dance floor with so many people and the music played was exactly what we asked for, and it drew everyone from all ages out on the floor for a full night of dancing and celebrating!

    Music Makes You Happy Crushed It!

    Music Makes You Happy killed it for our wedding. Our DJ, Mike, was very responsive beforehand and got us all setup in their company portal where we could provide songs we really wanted to hear or didn't want to hear. He kept the music going all night and really was an artist up there all night. We would highly recommend!

    Schroeder Wedding

    If you are considering Chris for your DJ. Don't second guess it at all, book him the second you get the chance. He was awesome, from making sure we had everything we needed and keeping the party going. He was the absolute best! You will not have any regrets booking him for your wedding. Thanks again Chris!

    Above and Beyond: Unbeatable Hosting and Music Flow

    I cannot recommend Chris enough. I was absolutely astounded when my fiancé came to me with Chris' DJ package... I could not believe such a high level of service could be captured at such a reasonable price amid the luxury wedding industry. After one phone call with Chris, I knew I could trust him with the flow of our Reception and wouldn't have to worry about a thing. And that's exactly what happened. He created such hype among our bridal party and was so sensitive to reading the mood, the guests, and the events from begining to end. His responsiveness to adjustments (even on the day of!) was behind expectation. And his sensitivity to check in with our wishes, while also lending his expert opinion on the best choices was the perfect match for creating a personalized, thoroughly enjoyable Reception experience for two avid music lovers. What's more, Chris went above and beyond, taking the initiative and noticing our wedding video camera that had gotten left out of the details at the end of the night. And he mailed it to us by his own initiative and without delay.

    In short: Chris's abilities and presence as an MC and DJ are exactly what you want managing the flow of your event. He will make sure, everything you need is covered. Don't hesitate to choose him!

    The Best Wedding DJ!!

    I truly can’t recommend DJ Chris (the owner) enough! He’s so kind, professional, and one of the nicest people. He went out of his way multiple times throughout the night to get drinks for my husband and me, and even held my bouquet so I could make it upstairs— above and beyond doesn’t even begin to cover it! He played a baseball-themed song to close out the best man speech that had touched on my husband’s little league days. It was such a fun and creative touch! His music choices and energy were perfect, and I’m so glad we had DJ Chris at our wedding!

    Awesome Experience

    Our DJ Alan was awesome! He played everything that we said we wanted to hear, stayed away from songs we did not want to hear, and perfectly matched the vibe of the night with the rest of the music played. He was interactive and continued to make sure that we (bride and groom) were happy. He even brought us drinks while we were taking pictures outside and throughout the night!

    We love dj chris!

    Chris was our DJ for our wedding in November and knocked it out of the park. Everyone kept telling us wow your DJ is so awesome!!!

    He was so much more than a DJ, he helped so much day of and was so friendly and kind to the bridal party and our guests. He even always made sure we all had drinks in our hands!

    We loved that he provides you an app to upload all of your must plays, plays, and do not play songs so we could take our time filling it out as we went about wedding planning. He even let us send him a premade playlist for our cocktail hour we created! He was very responsive leading up to the event and provided excellent guidance.

    Thank you Chris for making our day so amazing!!!!!

    The best wedding DJ!

    Mike was SUCH a good DJ for our wedding. He made everything seamless & read the room so that the order of events didn’t impact the fun that the guests were having. We could not have asked for a better DJ.

    We love MMYH! So much energy!

    We had an incredible experience with Music Makes You Happy Entertainment! Chris was absolutely wonderful to work with, and he made sure every one of our guests had an amazing time on the dance floor. His music selections were spot-on, and he created smooth transitions that kept everyone dancing all night long!

    During our ceremony, Chris made sure the audio was perfect so our guests could hear every word. He was also very responsive and answered all our questions throughout the planning process, which put us at ease.

    We highly recommend Music Makes You Happy Entertainment! Thanks to Chris, we couldn't stop dancing and could have kept going all night!

    Chris is the best

    Chris did an amazing job! He was attentive and took the time to explain how things were going to run during the reception. Everyone complimented him after our wedding. He kept the crowd dancing all night. Getting Chris is TOTALLY worth it!

    Amazing service highly recommend

    Music Makes you happy was my DJ for my wedding at the Obici House on May 25th. Alan Bain was our DJ and he was amazing!! He made sure to play all of the songs I wanted and did a great job with announcing and with our ceremony music. Alan even went out of his way to make sure my husband and I were having fun and offered to get us drinks when we were running low. We also had a Photo Booth that people LOVED! If you are considering hiring them do it you won’t regret it! I also want to say communication was flawless!

    I would recommend Music makes you happy to any couple. We had an amazing experience with this company and they kept the party going until the very end. They go above and beyond, our DJ even got me and my fiance drinks when the caterers were busy and made sure we had everything we needed.

    An Unforgettable Experience

    Is it May? Yes. Did we get married in March? Yes. Am I still thinking about the reception? Yes. Chris is a tried and true professional. Not only did he emcee an incredible dance party that had my best man and my grandma grooving, he emcee'd the whole event. He checked in multiple times throughout the hours leading up to the ceremony to make sure everything was going smoothly. The question I got asked the most throughout the whole wedding day was "Where did you find this DJ?" quickly followed by a "He will be DJ'ing our wedding!" I can't recommend Chris and Music Makes You Happy enough. From getting their quote to the last song played on wedding day, our experience was incredible. Do you want a wedding experience that you and your guests won't forget? Book Chris with Music Makes You Happy!

    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.

    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+

    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.

    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 :]

    S.A. Wedding Fiesta

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!!!

    Music Makes You Happy Made us Blissful on Our Big Day!

    We had an amazing experience both working with Music Makes You Happy throughout the planning process and when it finally came time to celebrate our special day! They always maintained a positive attitude and went above and beyond to meet and even anticipate some of our needs. Planning a wedding during a pandemic was not always a pleasant experience, but Chris Rice and Music Makes You Happy worked with us through reschedules and stressful days and really helped make the experience as smooth and easy as possible. When it came down to our event I couldn't be happier. Our DJ Alan made us both feel at ease and helped navigate our schedule to make our event flow perfectly. He even helped us organize a very last minute photographer addition to help make sure we got all the pictures we could possibly want! He was easy going, supportive, helpful, funny and kept the good music flowing all night! He truly was above and beyond. We really can't thank him and the entire Music Makes You Happy staff enough!

    You couldn't have a better DJ

    I seriously cannot recommend this company enough!! Chris Rice was the DJ/MC with Music Makes You Happy Entertainment that did our wedding and he was a BLAST! He gave us a pep-talk and walked us and our wedding party through the reception grand entrance, during photos he came over a few times to make sure my husband and I didn't need drinks or snacks, he kept us on track with timing of all the events we wanted to get done (cake cutting, bouquet toss, etc.), balanced the dance floor well keeping it full but giving break songs to breathe. He was so much fun and interacted with us and the guests just the right amount. Everyone leaving our wedding asked for his contact info because of how amazing he was! Seriously you're doing yourself and guests a favor by hiring this company!!

    Absolutely wonderful! Hire them!

    Working with Chris Rice at Music Makes You Happy Entertainment was a phenomenal experience! He is a true professional - kind, thoughtful, organized, and thorough. He is also very talented. He played our requested ceremony music perfectly. For the reception, he cultivated a wonderful mix of music that got everyone dancing, and he played every single song that we mentioned in advance. He even cued up a song that my mother mentioned during her toast and played a clip of it right at the end of the speech, which created a really special moment for us. Chris also helped the whole event run smoothly, acting as an emcee and consistently checking to make sure my husband and I were happy throughout the event. I would 100% recommend his services to other brides.

    DJ Ladel was amazing at my wedding. He made the whole process from beginning to end so easy. I am a very laid back person and music is not really my think so I didnt give him much to go off and still got it right! I guess music is definitely his thing, lol. Thank you Ladel

    Music Makes You Happy was absolutely the best choice for my wedding

    Chris at Music Makes You Happy really brought his A game to my wedding. The music was exactly what I wanted. From the walk down the isle to the 1st dance, father daughter dance, mother son dance to the farewell Chris knew exactly what to play and when. He went above and beyond by making sure my husband and I had drinks while having pictures done. He has the ability to use music to help create a most beautiful memory of the most beautiful day. I could not be happier. I would recommend Music Makes You Happy to anyone planning any event.

    So fantastic!

    We can’t say enough about Chris and Music Makes You Happy! Music is such an integral part of a wedding reception and he was amazing! Everyone was on the dance floor the entire night – from a 2 year old to the 2 grandmas in their 80’s! His personality, energy and great playlist helped create the perfect party to celebrate our daughter and son-in-law! In addition to providing fantastic music, he was always lending a helping hand with whatever needed to be done before the party started. We appreciate all his efforts and highly recommend him!

    Amazing to work with!

    Chris was helpful in every way! He came highly recommended by my caterer and did not disappoint. He went above and beyond what I thought a DJ's duties were. Any special requests we had, he made them happen. The photo booth was a nice touch too! If you're looking for a fun, personable, attentive and interactive DJ for your wedding or any occasion, look no further than Chris and his team with Music Makes You Happy Entertainment!!

Chris kept the reception smooth from start to finish - interacted with our guests, ensured our bridal party got the entrance they deserved, and kept things fun for us! Our guests loved Chris and we have still been getting compliments about it all. You won't go wrong choosing this company for your DJ needs!!

    Music Makes You Happy

    Chris was wonderful to work with! He was very flexible when we had to change our date and venue due to COVID, and helped us come up with a date that would work. He was very engaging and kept the party going the whole time. We also had a photo booth that everyone really enjoyed, and it was really easy for everyone to use! I’m excited to get to see all of those pictures!

    The best dj ever

    Chris was amazing to work with! David and I had to reschedule our reception due to COVID and Chris was so flexible with us in finding a new date. Chris was fun, out-going and kept the party going throughout the night. We would recommend Music Makes You Happy because of their quick communication, flexibility and expertise when it comes to creating an atmosphere of fun! We are so thankful for you guys and so happy you could be a part of our special day!

    Chris was absolutely phenomenal!

    WORTH EVERY PENNY! Recommend him without a doubt. He went above and beyond what he was required to even do. He came to check on us multiple times to make sure we had everything we needed and made sure that everything was going as smooth as possible. Every request I made, he did. I’m super grateful for everything he did at my wedding and he made it absolutely perfect. Both him and his tech were willing to stay all night and make sure we were having a blast. When I let his tech know he was good to go, he triple checked with me to make sure I was happy and didn’t want him to stay. You both were awesome and I appreciate you! Thank you Chris!

    Wonderful Time

    Chris was our DJ for the wedding. He made it fun and entertaining the whole time. Any request I made with the music or dances he was always open and willing to do what we asked. Loved the fact he was willing to help in any way he could to make it even better and memorable. I truly trusted him and his work.

    The best DJ!

    Chris was the absolute best DJ we could have asked for! We had a ton of last minute changes due to Covid and Chris reassured me multiple times that everything was going to work out! You are able to create a playlist ahead of time of songs you want played and songs you don’t want played. He kept our guests dancing despite our small guest size. Very easy to work with! Last minute Chris was able to livestream our ceremony, which was a huge relief! You couldn’t pick a better DJ to have!

    A Class Act

    Chris added a level of comfort to the day, knowing we were in good hands throughout it all. His professionalism and warm personality, and interaction with the guests....just wow. The day was seamless. MMYH provides mics for the ceremony, speeches, photobooth (which was an awesome addition btw!) and wonderful music for the entire event. Chris even checked on us while we ate privately and had someone go out and get two Red Bull’s for us, cause ya girl was fading fast lol. An amazing experience. Thank you Chris.

    Perfect, caring, FUN!

    10 stars if I could. Shout out to the most flexible and caring DJ out there, Chris. We had multiple date changes due to Covid, the last change was only 2 days before the wedding but Chris was there without a problem. I had little time to organize things but he nailed it for me. He was also one of the few people to consistently check in on me and make sure I was doing okay. The music and lighting was beautiful. Everything went smooth and I had many compliments. Thank you for making our day a less stressful and our night a blast Chris.

    100% recommend.

    I reached out to this company and the owner Chris was super helpful and very quick with responses. We hired him right away! He has been super helpful with helping me to make up my wedding timeline and has answered any and all questions I have had. 10/10 would recommend to anyone for any event needing a DJ !!! We cannot wait for our special day!

    We only recommend this DJ to everyone!

    Chris was our amazing DJ! He went above and beyond with every detail about our wedding! Not only was he incredibly flexible with us considering COVID-19, and we booked with him under 90 days before our venue, he never made us feel rushed or pressured. All of his worksheets online helped prompt us to think of certain details throughout the reception and ceremony that we didn’t even know was an option. Chris was familiar with our venue at The Barns of Kanak, but he added his own personal touch the entire wedding. He had our officiant miccced up and ready to go very smoothly, he checked on us , the bride and groom during the reception many times for drinks or anything we could need. To top everything off, we ended up changing the “grand exit” time last minute to accommodate our guests going home early. So Chris announces the next song to play will be the last song before the exit, and our guests are enjoying the song but no ones really at the dance floor. Chris cuts the music, brings us, the bride and groom out in the middle of the dance floor, and has everyone circle us and asks everyone to sing at the top of their lungs to “Don't stop believing”! It was such a special and fun way to get everyone together one last time before we made our exit! Having that memory of all of our friends and family smiling at us and singing and raising their hands is something I have forever now. We really couldn’t have asked for more, and will ALWAYS, highly recommend this DJ company before any other!

    Hands down the best dj ever!

    Chris went above and beyond for my wedding party and guest! Everyone was blown away at how hands on he was. Multiple people told me he was the best dj they have ever seen! He waited on everyone! He got drinks for everyone, Tylenol for one of my bridesmaids and found me some dental floss! We couldn’t have asked for a better dj! Thank you Chris!

    Hands down the best!

    Chris Rice with Music Makes You Happy Entertainment was amazing! Our wedding was supposed to be March 28, 2020 but because of COVID, two weeks before our original date, we had to postpone our wedding. When we notified Chris, he immediately asked if there was anything he could to do help with replanning. We picked a new date and Chris was available. He responded right away when I asked if he had the new date open. Chris provided us suggestions on what songs we could use and offered to make mash-up of songs if there were two we really liked! Day of the wedding, Chris rocked it! He was timely, professional and he even got my husband and I our favorite drinks right after the ceremony! His music selection kept everyone on the dance floor all night! Chris makes sure your wedding (or any type of event) runs smoothly and is exactly what you want! I 10/10 would recommend Music Makes You Happy Entertainment!

    Above and Beyond!!!

    Can't say enough about Chris! The reception would have not been a party without him. Chris was super flexible and consistent in communication throughout the whole planning process. But his magic and excellence truly shined during the day of the wedding. He was prompt and was constantly ensuring that my guest had a phenomenal time. He made sure that the music was geared towards the vibe we were going for and made all the right calls when it came to letting him pick out the songs. He was super interactive with the guests and worked very well with all of my other vendors. Would recommend him to any bride and individual looking for an amazing DJ! LOVE LOVE LOVE Music Makes Me Happy!!! Thank you Chris for making our day perfect!

    Best wedding DJ ever!

    We’ve already reserved Chris for our third daughters wedding - even though she doesn’t even have a boyfriend yet!!! Our oldest was married 18 months ago and Chris not only did a fantastic job keeping our party moving, but was attentive to every detail- he even offered to make a Home Depot run to solve the venues problem! In December, at our 2nd daughters wedding, Chris made sure to include every element, despite the planner’s confusion. He stepped in to be sure our Bride got exactly what she needed! We have complete trust in Chris to stay engaged, read the crowd, play the right music to keep the party going, direct us and our guests and pay attention to everyone’s needs. The very best!

    Great music selections

    I will admit, I was slacking on helping the DJ with a list of songs I wanted. I mentioned country music, top 100 playlist and acoustic or softer songs for dinner and cocktail hour. Our DJ Rob blew it out of the park! I was worried people weren't going to dance much but he played a wide variety of music that everyone loved. Even the older crowd! It was amazing, everyone had so much fun!

    Helpful, over and above to make our day perfect

    Chris Rice and MMYH is the only DJ anyone needs to use! He was in contact with me in the months leading up to my wedding, helping me search for songs to meet my picky requests, slowed down my first dance song at my husband's request, played all the songs I asked him to, listened to the vibe of our crowd and knew what to do to get everyone up and dancing and had perfect timing with knowing when to comment on the mic or let things roll. He was helpful, approachable, funny super friendly and if I ever need a DJ again he is the only one I would ever use!!

    Life of the party!

    Our DJ Mike was amazing! He had such a cool demeanor, played everything we had on our must-play list, and he took requests live from our guests. When people were requesting songs on our do not play list - he discreetly asked us what we wanted to do. It truly felt like a party celebrating at our wedding and we are so grateful! We also used the photo booth through them - the guests had a blast and we were also sent digital copies of all of them a couple weeks later. Couldn't recommend them enough!

    Great DJ - integral part of our night

    MMYH were an integral part of our night. They were incredible professionals who talked us off the ledge when we were stressed about picking the right music. Mike took the time to talk to us, understand our style, and help craft the right playlist for the evening.

    
Their services at the ceremony set the tone and perfectly complemented the mood.

    Chris is awesome!

    Chris was so fun to work with; he kept people out on the dance floor playing music for everybody! We had a split crowd: lots of people in their 20s and lots of people 50+ and Chris had a song for everyone. He has a way of quickly getting to know the vibe of your wedding and he has the experience to pick the right songs at the right time. We were running behind and had a couple of issues behind the scenes and he was able to roll with the punches so our guests never suspected a thing. We couldn't recommend Chris more highly! Thank you, Chris!

    Don’t look for another DJ!

    I cannot say enough good things about Chris Rice. He came recommended to me by someone, and I am SO glad I booked him over the other company I was looking at. He answered all the questions I had and more, he had great ideas, was the timeline manager, kept the party going, and spoke up for me when I needed it. Many guests told me he was the best Dj they’ve seen. I have so many amazing pictures of my guests having the time of their lives on the dance floor, and I am so grateful that Chris brought that out of them. You aren’t going to get a better Dj! Thanks Chris!

    Went above and beyond!

    Chris from Music Makes You Happy was the absolute best! He was incredibly responsive to all of my questions throughout the planning process, and their online system was really easy to use! He picked the perfect combination of songs and at just the right time, including songs my guests requested and our must-plays. I can't say enough great things about his professionalism, responsiveness, MC skills, and musical talent! It is a real skill to manage the mood of the reception, and he did it perfectly! It's hard to impress a family full of musicians and he blew us all away!

    Amazing Job!

    I’ve had the privilege of working multiple weddings with Chris Rice. I knew when it was time for my own wedding, I knew he was the only DJ I wanted. He completely exceeded our expectations and some! He understood how to entertain our crowd, and delivered an awesome experience. Not only did our family love him, so did our guests. I would recommend this company to everyone!! He went above and beyond for us and was the perfect fit, that helped our wedding day run smooth.

    Couldn't have asked for a better DJ!

    Chris Rice was the perfect fit for our wedding and was a key player in making the day come together. He was the ideal balance of fun and meticulous, not to mention his radio voice! He understood how to entertain a crowd and how to deliver the experience we desired our guests to have. He did both the sound for our ceremony and reception, and was able to take a sampling of music we gave him to come up with a full playlist of songs that fit us.
    Chris made himself available every time we had questions or wanted help finding the perfect song for part of our day. He also had an excellent understanding of wedding timelines and helped us tremendously as we figured out what we wanted our day to look like. He was responsible and professional every step of the way. He was even committed to keeping our secrets! The bride wanted her first dance and father/daughter dance songs to be a surprise for her. She also planned to surprise her mother with a special dance between the two of them. Chris managed to keep all these secrets without forgetting any other important details throughout the day.
    We were pleased to be able to work with the owner of this company directly, and after our experience with him, I’d recommend his business to anyone. If he puts as much thought and care into his company as he did our wedding, then I would vouch for any DJ that he makes part of his team.

    Amazing job!

    The thing no one can say about their wedding is that it went perfect... there is always something that you weren’t planning on/went the wrong way/or even failed lol
    But I can surely say that music , announcements and wedding games went perfect on my special day!
    Tyler Wilson did an amazing job communicating starting day one, following up, coordinating, and stayed on point on the day of the wedding.
    He was prompt, very polite, organized and genuinely super nice person!
    I am more then pleased with experience and will definitely recommend to anyone I know!

    Professional, timely and engaged!

    We had the pleasure of working with Mike Dodson for our wedding. Mike was on top of IT ALL! Mike kept things going on time and kept the crowd engaged. He was an absolute pleasure to work with, as was everyone at Music Makes You Happy! Thank you!

    Fantastic!

    Chris and his staff were fantastic on our wedding day. They were very thorough in their questionnaires beforehand and have a very easy-to-navigate website where you can list all of your "must play" songs and all of your "absolutely do not play" songs. Chris was very responsive to emails and the pricing was very reasonable. He was also able to provide a photobooth and do multiple printouts so guests could take a copy home and paste a copy into our guestbook. He was very accommodating and helpful throughout the entire planning process as well, and did a great job as the emcee during the wedding itself. Thank you Chris!!

    I can not say enough great things about Music Makes You Happy! Chris, the owner is so quick to respond to any questions you have a steer you in the right direction. We had DJ Karizma for our wedding and he did a fantastic job. I would definitely recommend them to anyone getting married in the OBX area!

    Chris did a phenomenal job. He was very open to our ideas and input as well as guest requests during cocktail hour and the reception. His ability to work a room and make sure the dance floor was full at all times was amazing. He was very professional and laid back. He was very accommodating toward myself and my groom, checking in with us throughout the night. If you have a wedding planner, they won’t have much to do once the receptions starts and Chris takes control. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ!

    If you want a professional yet fun DJ who is adaptable and a pleasure to work with, look no further. Chris was amazing! He helped make our wedding a night to remember, and kept people out on the dance floor until the bitter end. He also managed to expertly and seamlessly loop my processional music when more people processed up the aisle than anticipated. And he certainly knew how to take care of the wedding party by keeping full glasses in our hands. I'd give him six stars if I could

    Our wedding was on June 16, 2018 and Tyler from Music Makes You Happy was great!! He was really friendly from our very first phone call meeting. My new husband and I had really busy schedules so Tyler was open to discussing all of the details over the phone to cater to our needs. He was flexible in his availability to talk to us which was helpful. As the wedding got closer, Tyler helped provide music choice suggestions as well as help plan the reception schedule. This was incredibly helpful as I had no idea how to plan for the timing of the reception!! I would recommend this dj company for future weddings! :)

    DJ Karizma (Chris) lived up to his name. He was a lifesaver during the planning process and was just as helpful during the wedding/reception. He played our special songs as scheduled. He is fun, energetic and everyone loved him!
