    Fun and Helpful!

    Michael and his team were AWESOME! From our first phone call with Michael, we could tell he goes the extra mile to learn about us and our vision for the day. He asked so many helpful questions, provided lots of wisdom, and is overall such a nice human, making the experience really great. The music for the night was a hit. Our dance floor was full all night long, and Michael added such a special, FUN presence. We couldn’t be happier we found him and his team!

    Wedding Music Charleston's reply:

    Thank you so much Ellen! We loved working with you all and what a fun time it was! Blessings for you and your family for a long and happy future. :) Michael- Wedding Music Charleston

    The Best DJ Experience!

    Michael from Wedding Music Charleston was the best. He was everything we could have for as a DJ and more. Not only was the music perfect, he was professional, considerate, organized, flexible and so pleasant to work with. He made working with a DJ no stress at all - he was so organized, and the music selection process was super seamless thanks to Michael's spreadsheet, which made it easy for me as a bride, when wedding planning can be so overwhelming. He knew what we needed, and provided it 110%. I could not recommend Michael more for your DJ needs - he really added something special to our wedding day.

    Excellent Experience with Wedding Music Charleston!

    Wedding Music Charleston & Michael Peifer did a fantastic job with our wedding. Working with them to plan everything was a breeze and they were completely experienced professionals. The wedding playlist options set a strong foundation for music choices for all aspects of our wedding, and we were able to seamlessly add specific requests in as well to really curate the music to our tastes. On the day of, the set up went smoothly and easily, our guests were able to hear us clearly during our outdoor ceremony, and the music for the reception, dinner, and cocktail hour was a hit with lots of compliments. Wedding Music Charleston gave us the confidence to know that our music and sound needs were in good hands, Michael was a very nice guy with a warm and friendly attitude, and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for music & sound needs for their events. Great experience all around, thank you!

    Wedding Music Charleston's reply:

    Thank you so much Ezra! You and your family were a pleasure and The Cooper River Room is a lovely venue. :)
    Blessings, Michael Peifer

    Great experience!

    We really enjoyed working with Michael. Both my husband and I are in the Navy and our work schedule is crazy. Michael was very flexible and worked with us to plan our wedding. Friendly and easy to work with. Also gave us lots of pointers regarding how to plan our wedding! High recommend!

    Julia and Phillip- It was a great honor to assist with your beautiful wedding! As you know, my family are all Military so I love working with those that serve. Blessings for your future together! Michael Peifer

    Amazing & talented DJ!!

    We couldn’t have been more pleased with Michael’s exceptional performance! We had multiple people at our wedding comment that they wish we had recorded his live performance.. it was phenomenal! Michael not only put on a memorable live set but was also very keen on making sure he knew our schedule for announcements for cake, toast, etc. When it was time to start dancing, he had a perfect playlist of his own, and songs of ours that he incorporated. Thank you so much for making our wedding so special Michael!!

    Wedding Music Charleston's reply:

    Thank you so much Gina! Performing live is always fun and the mix of some live music and some DJ music is a great combination. Alhambra Hall feels like a second home as well, so it was a great evening. :) Blessings- Michael

    Extremely professional and reliable

    Michael was the BEST.
    He had great suggestions and helped us decide on the flow of the wedding (because we really didn’t know what we were doing at all). He had great equipment and handled everything perfectly.
    We would highly recommend him!!

    Thank you so much Casey! It was a pleasure working with you and your family! Many Blessings for your future together- Michael

    Hired DJ for our wedding

    We had such an incredible experience with our DJs! Earl kept the party going all night long! Our guests had such an amazing night. Everything was so perfect! Earl made sure everything ran smoothly the entire night and kept checking in with me and my husband to make sure everything was going the way we wanted! Michael and his team were so helpful leading up to the wedding and checked in with us to see if we had any special requests, etc.

    Fantastic experience!

    We cannot say thank you enough to Michael and his team at Wedding Music Charleston. He was so thoughtful, extremely helpful and made our day so perfect and beautiful! He went above and beyond for us, was hired to do music. Took amazing pictures and videos as well. Appreciate them all so much. I will forever recommend and use them as a DJ!

    Regretful choice

    We had really high hopes, but too many things did not go well on our wedding day that truly disappointed us. Michael seemed thorough based on the repeated conversations we had about music taste/preferences, flow of the event. One of my bridesmaids walked down without any music because he did not loop the song. During the reception we asked him to find some more upbeat songs and change some songs faster (rather than letting every song play in full) to keep the guests dancing. He did not do that. He also asked for a list of 15 songs we would like played... he played only 2. We requested that while our guests line up for our exit he play a certain song for a private last dance, he played that song before he announced for guests to go line up. We did not get our private last dance to take in the moment or the pictures that would have gone along with it. He had a questionnaire where all of our expectations were outlined in addition to the conversations we had, so we were very disappointed in the lack of follow through. He also brought an assistant to help carry items (totally fine) but the assistant was sitting on the lounge set near the dance floor during the reception so our guests didn't go use it, family also mentioned that the assistant went back for a second round of food before some of our guests had gotten any. All in all we would not recommend Wedding Music Charleston for your events.

    Wedding Music Charleston's reply:

    Rachel and McKenzie, It truly beaks my heart that you feel this way about my performance at your wedding. It is always crucial to me personally to make sure that my clients are elated with our services on one of the most important days of their life together. As you mentioned, we work very hard to learn about our client's vision for the perfect event, from the time of our first contact and throughout the planning process. After every wedding we also send out a follow up asking clients to review us so that we can always learn from them and improve on our services. In my 25 years of weddings, your review is the first time that I have ever received a negative review for my personal services at a wedding. (across all sites online) You can rest assured that I take your review to heart. I have gone back and researched every part of our communication and all of the videos we took at your wedding as well. (see the link to those videos and photos at the bottom) I plan to review our procedures from top to bottom to assure that we are better than we have ever been. Regardless or their experience and talent, no entertainer will be a good fit for all clients. We do our best to determine if we have the right DJ for the client's needs and are happy to recommend other companies when we feel like we will not be a great fit. I do recall your asking to move through songs more rapidly, not allowing them to play for long. I don't think I fully understood how short you wanted the songs to be. Normally at weddings the guests like to hear much of the song before making a transition. Rapid transitions and remixes are a Club/Hip-Hop/EDM DJ strategy. I can admit that it is something I am not personally accustomed to. In the hundreds of weddings I have done myself I have never been asked to do this to the extent that you seem to have wanted. I work hard to make sure my transtions are smooth and the dance floor remains active, but quick transitions are not my personal style. I will be more careful to discuss this in greater detail with future clients to be sure we are accomodating. In looking back over all of the videos, and the song requests you gave me I can assure you without any doubt that I played the majority of your requests. If I had to guess, I would say with a fair amount of certainty that I got to all of them. As you can see in the dancing videos, you and your guests seemed to be having a great time with the music selections. However, I learned long ago to be sure that I play a clients requested songs, regardless of their effect on the dance floor. I always, always make it a point to get requested songs in rotation. I also recall playing many songs that were requested by guests at the event. It is easy for newlyweds to miss some of those songs while they are mingling with family and friends. I recall you and McKenzie moving back and forth between inside and outside the venue often (understandably) and you may have missed some of your requests in that way. I always try to touch base with clients throughout the evening to make sure that they are happy. I don't recall you mentioning being unhappy at all on the day of your event. In fact, your negative reviews on Google, The Knot, and Wedding Wire this Saturday are the first indication that I had that you were not happy with me or Jesse. I would have loved to do everything possible on your big day to make you happy, believe me. A vendor does not get the kind of reviews that we have by being apathetic or complacent. We work very hard to get it right every time. Regarding the wedding party processional, I have a video of that and can see that the song ended just as the last young lady was escorting the little ring bearer into the aisle. I think we were all focused on how sweet the child was, but I do apologise for that momentary lapse, even though it was brief. The walk from the screen room to the aisle was quite long, but the aisle was short. I will include the video of the bridal procession in the link below as well. I do recall something happening regarding your last dance. I know the coordinator was struggling to move the guests to the exit location to allow you the private dance. It took quite some time to get guests to move from the dance floor to line up for the exit. They were very enthusiastic and did not want to leave the dance floor. It may be that in the confusion of the moment I missed something there, or the time had elapsed allowing for a private dance. If so, please accept my deepest apologies. I would never skip something like that intentionally. My assistant on your event works hard to help me, and always goes above and beyond to help our clients as well. I have shared your review with him and his heart is broken as mine. He will be much more careful about where he sits and when he visits the buffet in the future, though it is hard for me to imagine him causing hardship intentionally. He and his parents spent several years on the South Dakota reservation ministering to the Lakota tribe in the harshest of conditions. Jesse is a beautiful soul that cares deeply for people of all nationalities. Once again, thank you for the insight and my heartfelt apologies that you or your family were not elated with my services. I will strive to be that much better in the future. I have beautiful videos from two angles of the full ceremony and many reception videos as well. Contact me directly to access those. The dance videos and the processional video are in the link below. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1sLXMSurXcSDw8Yvr-ph1MWvJrd-FAd4T?usp=share_link

    Best DJ in Charleston

    Sincerely the best DJ we have ever experienced at a wedding. We were put in a sticky situation when our original DJ (not at all affiliated with Wedding Music Charleston) canceled on us a week before our big day. We reached out and Michael was so quick to respond- incredibly professional! To add to matters, our wedding was the weekend of Hurricane Ian! We were paired with Gregg who absolutely blew our minds!!! Not only was he incredibly kind and thoughtful throughout the entire evening, he was also energetic and fun (which really matched our group of guests and bridal party)!

    My family, bridal party, and friends have all been raving about Gregg since our wedding day. It was an honor to work with him and Wedding Music Charleston. You can't go wrong with these amazing professionals. If I ever need a DJ for anything again, I would immediately choose them!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding feel that much more special.

    Amazing time!

    Earl was amazing! He did a great job keeping the party going and event moving. He even stayed an hour late when things ran behind. All of the guest raved about how awesome he was. We had an amazing day and would highly recommend Earl with Charleston wedding music!!!

    Wedding Music Charleston's reply:

    Thank you so much Anastasia! Earl is awesome- he really does care about clients and goes the extra mile to make sure that your day is magical! Wedding Music Charleston is proud to have him on the team! Michael Peifer, Owner WMC

    Great Party!

    Michael was wonderful! Not only did he keep our party upbeat , he took requests in stride, was super flexible, and was an amazing value for our Charleston wedding. He definitely did a great job getting the vibe right for our group - 90s, dance hits, Latin, and salsa - he listened to our needs for our various guests and everyone had a blast! I felt so at ease knowing him and his staff were extremely organized and took my input and ran with it, it really relieved the pressure on more decision making during our night :)

    Knowledgeable and Fun!

    Wedding music Charleston is amazing to work with. My husband and I met with the staff several times before our event to go over details so that we were all on the same page. They knew my local venue so well and were able to provide recommendations on location of different aspects of my wedding. Guests loved working with Michael and he kept the music fun and lively all night. He also was a great M/C working with my wedding planner to make sure that events were moving along and sticking to timeline.

    Wedding Music Charleston's reply:

    Thank you so much Margaret! Your wedding reception at Runnymede was lovely and fun. I truly enjoyed working with you as well. :) Blessings- Michael

    Awesome DJ!

    Michael was a pleasure to work with. We had the best time dancing! Michael helped the day run smooth with his announcements. His DJing was so good he got everyone at the wedding to do a conga line around the reception area. It was a great time and Michael played a massive role in making the day go so well. I would definitely recommend.

    Awesome Wedding DJ!

    I hired Wedding Music Charleston for my wedding in February and they were amazing! Before the wedding, Michael was a great communicator and very easy to work with. We had Gregg as our DJ, and he did a wonderful job reading the crowd and bringing the party to life! I would highly recommend him and this company!

    The perfect experience

    Michael was a pleasure to work with and made our wedding night a party we will never forget!! He provided everything from the ceremony, to live acoustic cocktail hour, and DJ with lighting for the reception! It was huge for us as a couple to be able to use Michael for all three services. He made the entire process seamless and easy along the way from advice, set up, and encouraging us to pick our favorite music!! The dance floor never stopped because of his talents! I hands down recommend wedding music Charleston for any event!

    It was a beautiful event and your family and friends were all very sweet. :)
    Blessings, Michael

    Bride Review of Wedding Music Charleston

    Michael with Wedding Music Charleston was amazing to work with! He was organized, punctual, and thorough with his work. The FAQs and spreadsheets he gave us to assist with planning not just the music but the entire wedding was so sweet. He was a breeze to work with. And his prices? WOW! We had a wonderful experience and we could not recommend Wedding Music Charleston enough. Thank you Michael!
