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.

We chose Michael to DJ our wedding & couldn't have been happier with how he did! He played live music for our ceremony which was outdoors in Feburary in snowy conditions & we loved it. Michael is very responsive, very friendly & he did everything he promised. It's hard to fathom how many moving parts there were, but Michael was great, he got there early & set everything up so all of the transitions were seamless & he was prepared for everything so he didn't have to hassle us on our special day. Thanks so much Michael & if you're considering him, just make it happen, you won't regret it!

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!

To this point in our wedding plans we looked over several DJ's but with a fast response Michael won our business. His well mannered and delightful answers to our boring and more likely frequently asked questions did not detour or diminish his professional answers. At this point and with our wedding fast approaching we would definitely recommend Michael Lancaster for any event. Good, bad or boring we have plans to write an additional review on how well our wedding turned out with Michael being our DJ in charge!!!

Michael was great to work with for our wedding this past weekend as I would hire him again for another party! He was quick to respond to any requests for my event. His selections of music was great for our reception that got the guests dancing even at a brunch wedding. He made it so much fun ! His guitar playing was remarkable for the ceremony. I would recommend him to anyone on the market for a DJ who also plays guitar and bagpipes. Thank you for being part of our big day!
