    Awesome Experience!

    Michael and Puttin' on the Hitz were great to work with! Our dance floor was full of guests all night and the music was perfect. What I loved most about working with Michael was the phone call after we already filled out the questionnaire on the website. It just made us feel like he really wanted to get to know our crowd and how to get them dancing all night! I would recommend Puttin' on the Hitz to every bride!

    Responsive and Affordable Vendor

    Puttin' on the Hitz is a great vendor. They were punctual, got back to us consistently, and respected and worked around our budget and needs. The communication between us and our DJ was effective. We knew exactly what everything cost and the information sheet we filled out was easy to do. The process of choosing songs was pretty seamless. During the wedding, Michael was great at getting the guests to join in on the dancefloor. He also helped us a lot with the announcements, the ceremony music, and the shoe game. Overall, the experience was great and we highly recommend this business.

    Michael was amazing!

    We couldn’t have been happier with Michael! We had a hiccup with our father/daughter dance being photographed and needed to do it again. Michael offered to pick a more up best song and was calm, cool and collected. We loved having him apart of our day!

    A Great Time

    Michael was a blast to work with and our families had no problem interacting with him as well! He was welcoming, friendly, and very easy to approach at any time. He was on time and stayed a little later to help keep the party going. Much appreciated and, while we won’t be doing another wedding (hopefully ever again), we would highly recommend his service!

    Amazing!

    Great company! We hired them 2 years in advance and they never lost our reservation like some venues. He did a phone call with us before the big day to pick our brain about music choices. We totally forgot about some key aspects of the day that needed music and not only did he remind us but he offered suggestions. Very friendly and so easy to work with. An absolute amazing experience. Would hire him again for any event and recommend him to others

    Keep the Party Going with Michael!

    Michael from Puttin' on the Hitz was wonderful and we would recommend him to anyone! He did a great job keeping guests on the dance floor ALL night. Michael was also great to work with throughout the process from booking to going over details and the day of. We had a couple specific announcements (parking, dessert service, etc) that we asked him to make and he did so timely and thoughtfully to keep guests informed and having fun! In my opinion, who you choose for your DJ will set the tone of your reception and we would choose him again in a heartbeat!

    Best DJ around!

    Puttin’ on the Hitz is the best DJ!! They did my sisters wedding 10 years ago and did fantastic! We’d dreamed of having them do my wedding as well ever since then. I just got married May 2022 and they did not disappoint! The dance floor was bumping all night and created such a good atmosphere!

    Flexible & Amazing

    Michael Scott with Puttin' on the Hitz was AMAZING to work with. 2 weeks before the wedding, we had a phone call meeting to plan out what we were expecting from him as a DJ and made plans on how the night would go. The night of the wedding, we changed just about everything that we had planned out and Michael was incredible and flexible through it all. So glad we chose them as the DJ for our special day! So many compliments on their services!

    Highly highly recommend

    This DJ was used at a friend's wedding ~10 years ago and we were thrilled to see that he's still in business. We had to postpone our wedding once due to COVID restrictions and Michael from Puttin on the Hitz stayed with us through all the chaos of rescheduling. His communication with us was always proactive and timely and straightforward. He never had me worrying about what to expect. The tunes he played were FANTASTIC, and exactly what we wanted. He was also super flexible when I asked him at the last minute to do something extra (provide sound for the outdoor ceremony when our other sound system fell through). He was so flexible and provided us with everything we needed. He's so professional, fun, and entertaining. My mom even raved about how easily he could be understood when he announced the wedding party entrance! This guy knows how to DJ. HIGHLY recommend all around.

    Great music, great communication, great company, and THE BEST NIGHT

    Michael made our reception into one of the most fun nights of our lives. Our friends and family, young and old, all were dancing and signing along with the music. He also did a wonderful job with the audio for the wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. I would highly recommend him and his company for any and all private events!

    Exceptional

    Michael Scott was excellent. He was professional, personable, and fun to work with. He did not miss beat during the ceremony, playing beautiful welcome music and hitting all of the ceremony songs. He was able to keep the reception party going with songs that appealed to a wide range of ages. 100/10 would recommend!

    Awesome job by Michael & Puttin' on the Hitz!

    Michael did an excellent job. The background music for arrival/dinner was at an appropriate volume for the venue. His ability to communicate with us regarding coordination and keep the night moving along was great. He did an awesome job keeping everyone engaged. Finally, Michael's personality and approach are something I have not seen much. You can definitely tell he enjoys putting on a party, dancing to the music, and having a good time. I highly recommend Puttin' on the Hitz and will have them in my back pocket for future events!

    Want your event to be a success? Hire Puttin' on the Hitz!

    Michael Scott helped to make our daughter's wedding reception a perfect one. He kept the music lowkey as requested during dinner and played our daughter and son-in-law's playlist, later in the evening. He was well organized, professional and we would highly recommend his services for any event you are planning. 5 out 5 stars! Thank you, Michael!
