Couldn't have asked for a better experience pre-wedding and the day of! Mike played music during the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception (all in different locations) and never was there once a lull in music and there was never an issue with audio/mics. Mike also kept everyone on the dance floor with his song choices and even made sure me and my partner were on the dance floor for our must play songs! He truly asked all of the right questions to make our wedding dance floor the best one we've been on! -

Mike was beyond incredible to work with. We booked him early as the music was a very important part of our day. From the first meeting where he explained his systems and plan we were over the moon. He was very thorough during our zoom calls and ensured that every detail and song we wanted to hear were included in our day. He made our parents feel special on the day with the song dedications to them from our "please play" list, and kept our guests on the dance floor all night. 1 month later and we are still getting so many compliments on the music!
Mike always reached out when he said he would, and made us feel so special leading up to, and throughout our day. We truly could not have pulled off the magic that we did without his help during the ceremony with the instrumentals and flowing all the way to our final private dance.
Hands down the best DJ around! -

Our daughter & husband decided for the small mini-mony wedding (elopement style) in early July. It was a super small event with just immediate family. My husband and I wanted to throw them a reception style event, a 'Happily Ever After Party', a few weeks later. The whole event was planned in about 3-4 months. Mike was great from the moment we first contacted him & he kept the night fun & casual (which is what we wanted) for all our guests. Highly recommend Mike! -

Mike was a fantastic DJ/entertainer who went above and beyond! From our initial zoom meetings/phone calls to the wedding day itself he was so attentive and helped to make our wedding even more personal. He was so friendly, went out of his way to come out and direct the bridal party prior to being introduced at the reception, comes dressed to the nines and adds a personal touch by adding our names in our wedding color to his DJ setup. He not only played a terrific playlist during each part of the wedding day but does the initial leg work behind the scenes to make our song choices work, even trimming our first dance and parent dances down from 4 minute songs to much more tolerable 2.5 minute songs flawlessly. I highly recommend Mike! -

Best DJ ever!
Absolutely phenomenal! Mike was so caring and made sure every last detail was exactly spot on. From planning, to crazy last minute, to day of. He made it an absolute dream and better than I could have ever imagined. The uplighting was an amazing touch that will take any event to the next level. Cannot recommend enough and will be eternally grateful for Mike! -

Our wedding was perfect thanks to Must Be The Music! We randomly met Mike at an open house and his booth caught my attention immediately. It is like no other DJ set up I've seen. Our guests thought so too! Mike completely understood our musical vision for the ceremony and reception and executed it perfectly. The soft uplighting gave the room a warm, romantic vibe. Having Mike MC our wedding and entertain our guests was the perfect topper to our day! I hope I have the opportunity to attend a wedding with Must Be The Music in the future!! -

All the communication with Mike from the start was great, he reached out at every point he said he would, he was on point with everything, he knew everything necessary about DJ’ing at Deerfield. The day of was fantastic for everything we got to see. The ceremony went perfectly and we haven't heard any complaints. We’ve only heard how much fun everyone had.
We didn’t see Mike when we were leaving at the end of the night and we wanted to say thank you but wasn't sure if he already left or just went to start collecting equipment but our shuttle was waiting for us so we had to go.
We would definitely recommend Mike and we’d pick him as our DJ again. Mike put in so much work to perfect being the best DJ, he was creative with us, fun, and helped get a lot of the pieces of the planning process to come together! Thank you for all the work you put in for us Mike! -

MustBeTheMusic is a MUST!
Mike was OUTSTANDING! He put my and my wife's preferences for music and the experience at the forefront and ensured everything went well with the theme of our wedding based on what we wanted as far as music. He worked with the venue behind the scenes to ensure we had what we needed. It was his first time at the venue and you would have thought he's there every weekend. His lighting, equipment, and sound fit seamlessly with the venue. The crowd was moving the whole time and everyone of all ages enjoyed the music. Mike too our most special day and took it to another level. -

We knew immediately after ending our first Zoom call with Mike that we wanted to hire him for our wedding. He was arguably the most prepared vendor / individual that we spoke with during the entire process. He is personable and informative, and opened our eyes so much to the vital role the DJ plays throughout the wedding night. We really want to stress how informative and professional he is. He provides fantastic videos and reading material, we were bragging about it to our friends about how prepared, knowledgable, and helpful our DJ was compared to other experiences we have heard about. He was familiar with our venue, and educated us on how his equipment was suited for the high ceiling of our venue. Speaking of his equipment, his set up is beautiful! No big bulky speakers, he has sleek modern speakers and a beautiful table that he programs with a beautiful monogram message. It really pops and adds to the elegance and classiness of the wedding night. The uplifting was such a worthwhile addition, it took the atmosphere to another level, and looked beautiful throughout the night (Go Birds!).
Every conversation we had with him was awesome, we loved him as a person. He was also arguably the best vendor we had in terms of keeping in contact with us. When we needed him or had a question, he was always prompt in his responses and went above and beyond to assist us. He is full of great recommendations for other vendors, and obviously music as well. You may not realize how important having a great DJ is and he definitely showed up for the part! We have received so much positive feedback on how he played a fantastic mix of music, and knew how to get the crowd going. He was vital in coordinating the day of activities as well. He was on top of the timeline (from ceremony through the end of the night), special announcement we requested, and interacted in such a positive way with the crowd and guests. Our family members loved him as well! Perhaps most important, Mike cares about his couples and makes sure that everything runs smoothly. He even reached out to our venue coordinator to assist with the day-of timeline. He went above and beyond for us, and was fully invested making our night as special as possible.
Thank you for everything Mike!!

Mike is absolutely wonderful, we couldn’t have asked for a better DJ! He kept the party going the entire evening, the dance floor was NEVER empty! Super knowledgeable in his craft, fun, and very professional. He engaged the guests all night long and we had many compliments. I cannot say enough good things. He did our uplighting as well, which added a more finished look to our reception and the changing colors were perfect for dancing! We 100% recommend hiring Mike for your wedding!! -

Mike was extremely communicative leading up to the wedding and especially during the day of! We could not have asked for a better DJ! Thank you Mike for making our day absolutely perfect!!! :) -

Exceptionally organized DJ who kept the dance floor full all night!
I hit the luck of all luck to secure Mike Simmons as my DJ a mere 60 days before my wedding. New to wedding planning, it was so refreshing to have ONE aspect of the day off my shoulders because Mike covered everything! He was so helpful in explaining the sequence of the evening while still letting me know it was OUR night and we could scrap any traditions or conventions that didn't fit us. He gave great recommendations when I struggled with songs and was amazing when it came to last second changes. The song I wanted as my 1st dance was too fast for a slow dance and he slowed it down without losing a single quality of the original. Everyone was on the dance floor to the very last minute and everyone raved about Mike (even the venue)! My husband and I joked we would get divorced and remarried just to experience the night again. Thank you for everything, Mike. Hiring you was the best choice (second to the groom) I ever made. -

What can I say about DJ Mike besides him being absolutely amazing at his job. He was the obvious choice for our wedding. He is extremely friendly and kind and knows exactly how to perfectly DJ a wedding. We met with DJ Mike on a few occasions to go over songs, different things we wanted to do for the wedding, certain things he recommended, pricing, etc. and he was seriously so easy to work with. He really made our wedding the party of a lifetime! He was one of the best if not the best part about our wedding. He made the process so smooth and it really made it seem like he was our friend. He literally had every single one of our guest on the dance floor and that’s something that you don’t always see!
