BRIDES, LOOK NO FURTHER!! Michael is an absolute god send, I cannot imagine what my wedding would have been like without him. Michael was great on the phone with us leading up; the day of, he arrived early and provided all of his own equipment at no extra cost (!!!). After some beautiful acoustic guitar, Michael switched over to bagpipes once we said "I do". Huge crowd pleaser. Later he played guitar during cocktail hour, then lit up the venue and got the dancing going...I can't even list all of the things that I he did. And of this was at a very reasonable rate. Our wedding coordinator moved right before the wedding which made this a little chaotic. Michael went above and beyond by working with our photographer, reading the crowd, and kept things right on schedule. Michael, thank you thank you thank you!!!

Details: Wedding reception • 76 - 100 guests • 31 - 50 years old • Band • No preference • Country / bluegrass • Rock / classic rock • Outdoors

Michael was amazing!!!!!!! I planned my wedding from another state and did not get to actually meet with Michael until I was about to walk down the aisle. He was amazing! He played the bagpipes for our ceremony and dj'd our reception and kept everyone on the dance floor all night long. I also had a special request for my mother who had recently passed away - he played Tears in Heaven on his guitar and sang as well. Everyone loved him! You will not be disappointed!!

Michael was punctual, responsive, and professional. He did a really good job of setting up and making sure all of our needs were taken care of. He was fun and really got my dance party going! I have been to weddings were nobody used the dancefloor. I was worried it was going to be hard to get things going, but he made it a piece of cake. Thank you for bringing the party to our magical day :)

Michael was our DJ and played classical guitar at our wedding. During our ceremony and during dinner Michael really set the tone by playing the guitar which was such a magical addition to our already perfect day, he was also a trooper because we were married outside with falling snow in about 20 degrees. We’ve gotten so many compliments from friends and family remarking about how talented he is playing the guitar. In addition to his live music skills he was the exact DJ we were looking for and did a great job MCing and helping keep everything on schedule! We wanted to have a DJ who would keep the dance floor full all night long and he did not disappoint. He did an amazing job of playing music for each generation that we had at our wedding. Michael was so responsive and put any worries about the wedding at ease. He provided AV equipment during the ceremony and lighting at the reception. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for live music and a stellar DJ.

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.
