Introduction: I have been working professionally as an emcee/DJ since 1998. Over the last 19 years, I have performed and emceed at over 600 weddings, 150 corporate events and 100 school dances. I have a diverse musical background; I attended the Cornish College of the Arts for jazz performance and I have continuously played in rock and jazz bands since I was 15. I have also traveled extensively in Latin America and have a large library of Salsa, Merengue, Reggaeton, Cumbia, Bachata as well as some of the popular music from Mexico such as Ranchera, Banda & Duranguense. Unlike many DJs, I have a vast knowledge of most genres of music and I'm prepared to play almost any style of music that is requested. From Classic rock to the current hits, I can read the crowd and cater to the type of music that will get them on the dance floor. I have performed as a DJ between sets for national acts and has even performed as a DJ/Karaoke host at a private retirement party for one of the richest men in the world. The best part of my job is that I get to work with people that are usually celebrating a major event in their life. Nothing is more satisfying than seeing all the smiling faces at the end of an event and encountering brides several years later that still talk about how much they enjoyed their wedding.

Michael was an excellent DJ. We had a very formal wedding, and appreciated that he was dressed up to the point where you couldn't tell him from any of the guests. Setup was fast and the selection of music was excellent. We weren't sure what we wanted our music to be like, so he started out with some classics and appealed to the crowd. We had several songs we did not want played and he respected that request, and took additional requests from the guests. He was very personable and made sure that everything went smoothly on our wedding day. His ability to gauge what type of music people were enjoying was excellent, and although the wedding was very formal, we got some great pictures of people dancing like crazy. I would use him again in a heartbeat.

I come from a big family of dancers, so music was an important part of my wedding. Our family doesn't get to see each other often because we are all over the US, and it was a great time for everyone to bond. Our meetings with Michael were pretty fun, because he enjoyed talking about the music and what we wanted the 'mood' of our wedding to be. We told him we wanted it to be fun, with lots of dancing of course. Dinner music was appropriately fun, but not the best of hits. He saved those for when the dancing started. It began with songs everyone knew, and it's impossible not to dance to, then moved on to more specialized genres of music, all upbeat. We specifically didn't want any slow songs and he made sure to keep it all within our liking. Overall, my feet hurt a lot at the end of the night but it was all I had hoped for. From his music selection, quick setup and teardown,and his MC skills, Michael was the ideal wedding DJ.

We had a really hard time selecting a DJ because we wanted a very country wedding, and I wanted everything to be perfect. When we found Michael, although the website says he doesn't specialize in country, we thought his experience would make him the best candidate. I gave him a call and he knew all about country, from classic hits to the new music. We decided that he was the best of the best and booked him. We had a barn wedding so we weren't sure about logistics of setup and how sound would hold up, but when he arrived it took him five seconds to decide the best placement of speakers and lights. He is truly a professional. The music was never too loud, and I got tons of compliments on the music selection, especially since he played some obscure songs that aren't really popular in mainstream, but we specifically requested. He was polite, personable, and everyone enjoyed having him around, especially since he took abundant requests. I couldn't have asked for a better wedding DJ, and I'm PICKY.

Michael did a wonderful job for our wedding, but what we really appreciated was the information that he provided as we prepared for the event. Michael did a wonderful job guiding us towards having a successful day. He was accommodating and had a wonderful open communication process that made it easy to make decisions. Would be happy to hire Corazon entertainment for another event.
