Michael was awesome and made our wedding day so special. We had a outdoor wedding and it rained and Michael had to move things around a lot but he did so with a smile on his face the whole time even though I know it wasn’t easy. He played guitar at the ceremony and did a beautiful job. He also did a great job at our reception with the dance and had our guest dancing from the first to the last song. The dance floor was full and we had a blast. I would recommend Michael to anyone looking for a musician or DJ for their special event!

We couldn’t have had anyone do any better than Michael. He was very thorough in evaluating our music choices and made sure that our specific songs were played. Everyone danced at our wedding and I don’t think there was one person that didn’t. Everyone also commented on the wonderful music choices that he synchronized so perfectly. It was a wonderful and perfect day! Michael is an exceptional DJ.

10/10 recommend hiring Michael for your event! I recently hired him to DJ my wedding and could not be more pleased with his services. From the start, Michael made the planning process simple and easy for us. He was quick to respond and always had a “can do” attitude. He really understood the vibe we wanted, and picked all the right songs to match to keep the dance floor going all night long! Thank you Michael!

Michael is as professional as they come. His long-time experience and knowledge of hosting events was on full display at our wedding this past week. He helped direct traffic, helped our staff make the transitions easier, provided additional ambient lighting, played exquisite live music, and used our setlist of songs to his full advantage while interjecting a few of his tried and tested selections. As soon as I have another DJing need, Michael will be my go to person of choice!

Michael was so wonderful to work with! He really made our day so special from the ceremony to the reception. Also, through the process he would reach out and ask different questions on what I wanted to do. Stuff I didn’t even think about. He really helped ease my stress of our big day knowing he was there. The music was great. He also checked in with us throughout the night. He kept the event on a good schedule and really made our wedding a fun party! Thank you Michael we both truly appreciated you. - Devyan and Amanda
