My husband and I got married at Camp Laurelwood in the fall. Audio Media Solutions was a fabulous partner in ensuring our day was perfect from an audio & lighting perspective. Our ceremony was in a field with no electricity and our DJ Jared was able to set up a great sound system using a battery powered operation - we had music for the processional & recessional and our JP was mic'ed up as well. You would've never guessed it was any but a typical set up.
The music for dinner & reception was excellent as well. Jared totally got our vibe and did a great job reading the room. With our permission he took requests from our guests, and followed our desires for "must-plays" and "please, avoid". Our dancefloor was packed all night.
Dinner & ceremony were in a barn-like building, so we brough in some uplighting - it was soft and bright enough for people to be able to move around, but dark enough that guests were comfortable on the dancefloor.
Mike was fabulous partner in nailing down the initial contract set up & payment process. I couldn't be happier that we used Audio Media Solutions for our event. I would absolutely recommend them and use them again given the opportunity!
Our 10/12/24 wedding at the Wadsworth Mansion was the wedding of our absolute dreams, and Mike played an instrumental role in making the day so special. We're still getting comments from family and friends about how awesome our DJ's music was and how the lighting was just absolutely magical! Mike was incredibly easy to work with both leading up to our wedding and day of. He is incredibly responsive, provides great ideas/advice, and overall makes the day run incredibly smoothly. Not to mention that he knew our venue like the back of his hand! We could not speak more highly of Mike and his services, and we've already recommended him to our family and friends for their upcoming weddings.
If I could give Mike 10 stars I would. He was the most professional from start to finish and truly made my wedding magical. He did uplighting in my venue that transformed the entire space. Music was on point from start to finish. He collaborated with us from wedding hits to edm and everything in between. Mike was truly one of the best vendors I worked with my entire time planning my wedding.
Mike and AMS Made Our Wedding Unforgettable!
Mike from AMS (Audio Media Solutions) was absolutely incredible and such a vital part of making our wedding day perfect. From start to finish, his professionalism, energy, and seamless execution stood out, and we’re so grateful we chose him to help bring our celebration to life.
Mike’s ability to read the room and keep the energy flowing was second to none. He created an atmosphere filled with joy, love, and so much fun, ensuring that our guests had an amazing time on the dance floor. Beyond the music, his attention to detail and willingness to stick it out with us through every moment made such a difference. He kept everything running smoothly and truly went above and beyond to make our day unforgettable.
If you’re looking for a DJ who is professional, talented, and dedicated to making your event everything you dream of and more, Mike and AMS are the perfect choice. We feel so lucky to have had him as part of our special day—thank you, Mike, for everything!
Mike did a great job as our Wedding DJ for both our Ceremony and Reception! He was very pleasant to work with and flexible. A very professional, focused DJ who isn't "over the top" and wants to ensure the music hits the spot. Multiple guests at our Wedding afterwards were commenting about how much fun they had dancing and how good the music was. He also offers some nice lighting options that added a little more pizzazz on our dance floor and in the reception area. Great job to Mike, would definitely recommend.
We had our wedding at the Society Room and Mike was great! His unmatched knowledge of the venue was helpful to know exactly what we needed to make our day special. The music was very important to me and my fiance and he was able to cue the music exactly when I imagined it.
He was very easy to talk to and understood exactly what we were looking for.
AMS is the best!
DJ Mike came highly recommended and absolutely lived up to the hype.
Mike’s many years of experience was evident in every aspect of his coordination and execution.
He consistently communicated with us throughout the planning process and showed up big time on the day of.
More than music; his presentation was on point and the lighting package is a must have.
He also connected with our photographer, videographer and the venue to ensure a seamless experience.
We did not have a wedding planner, so this was super helpful and much appreciated!
Thank you, DJ Mike!!!
AMS was outstanding! Mike was knowledgeable, flexible, and so incredibly easy to work with. The dance floor was packed all night! Mike worked soooooo well with the Society Room (our venue) and the up lighting he provided helped the room look amazing! Mike was organized and kept the flow of our events running smoothly all night! The Photo Booth was an additional fun feature that our guests loved so much!
I can’t recommend enough!
We hired Mike from Audio Media Solutions for our wedding to handle the photo booth and lighting at the mansion, and he exceeded all of our expectations! The photo booth was a huge hit with our guests, who couldn’t stop raving about how much fun they had using it. The lighting he provided truly enhanced the elegance of the mansion and added a special touch to the entire evening.
Mike was incredibly easy to work with, always professional, and made sure everything ran smoothly. We can’t thank him enough for helping make our wedding day so memorable. If you’re looking for exceptional service and top-quality results, Mike is the one to go to!
Mike is the best! So easy to work with, incredibly flexible and seamless day of. Guests loved the music and lights. Can’t recommend enough!
We had the pleasure of working with Mike from Audio Media Solutions for our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Mike provided us with stunning room lighting, beautiful bistro lighting for our outdoor area, and a top-notch photobooth.
The room lighting was nothing short of magical, creating an elegant ambiance that transitioned perfectly into a lively and energetic vibe as the night progressed. Mike worked seamlessly with our DJ to ensure the lighting complemented the music and enhanced the overall experience. The high-end equipment he used delivered an incredible show that impressed everyone.
The bistro lights added a touch of enchantment to our outdoor space, making it a charming backdrop for our guests. Additionally, Mike’s new photobooth was a hit! We received numerous compliments on the photo quality and the fun experience it provided.
Mike was a pleasure to work with—professional, easy-going, and an expert in his field. His execution was flawless, and he made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. We highly recommend Audio Media Solutions for anyone looking to elevate their event with exceptional lighting and photobooth services.
Mike helped our wedding day run smoothly despite day-of weather related changes to our plans. We felt confident that things would run smoothly with his help which allowed us to relax and enjoy the day that much more!
Mike was extremely communicative & was very kind throughout the process! I would say the light show is incredible, but I was a little heartbroken having my aisle song cut and then not having our walk out song. I would’ve liked to have seen more from my playlist but overall my guests were happy & it was a fantastic night!
Mike was absolutely wonderful to work with! From the very first meeting through the week of the wedding Mike was very knowledgeable and understanding of what we were looking for at our wedding. He did such a wonderful job from the setup for the ceremony and reception to the lighting inside and out, everything was flawless. Mike had everyone dancing all night and everyone had such a great time. Thank you Mike for a truly memorable experience!
Melanie DeJesus of AMS was absolutely fantastic! We had to delay everything at our beach front wedding about 30 mins because of a “microburst” of severe Thunder, lightning and rain but she made it work. Everything went smoothly and she was totally adapting to the slight changes we had to make and it was seamless. At the end of our ceremony, the rain stopped and a double rainbow appeared over the water and she immediately played “somewhere over the rainbow” (by Israel K.) and it totally set a happy mood going into the cocktail hour. She had us dancing all night long until the very end, and she read the room perfectly. Playing classics and some newer upbeat music she knew the crowd would go wild for. She interacted with the crowd in such a fun, energetic way. Old and young were dancing the night away. My feet still hurt!
Mike did a beautiful job with the lighting at our wedding this past June at Wadsworth Mansion. He did the lighting for the loggia room where we had our bridal party head table and in the tent that we rented for the outdoor patio. The lighting gave our wedding that extra special, romantic touch. Mike was very professional to work with and very fair pricing. Highly recommend!
I got married over the weekend at The Wadsworth Mansion in Middletown. From the very beginning, Mike was excellent. He was easy to talk to and helped get us excited for the big day! During our two pre-wedding phone calls (one prior to booking and one the week before the wedding), he offered his guidance and professional opinions while still allowing us to create the day of our dreams. The lighting he offers at the Wadsworth is incredible (and if you are debating whether or not you want to get the loggia lighting as well- do it!) As our DJ, Mike helped create a seamless flow from ceremony to our last dance. The dance floor was crowded all night long! Thanks Mike!
Mike was fantastic, worked with us on all of the lighting, MCing and DJ work for our wedding.
Super easy to plan with and make sure all of our favorite songs and general vibe of our wedding was played and met.
Had so many guests come up to us after saying how much fun they had and how great the music was. The lighting under our tent was a huge hit as well with the music and the lights matching. 10/5 stars if I could.
Mike was awesome to work with. He did our music, lights, and photobooth. We got compliments on everything! Mike communicated with us along the way and is an expert in his field. We will always remember how much fun it was to dance to his playlist, look back at hilarious photobooth pictures, and the lights that made our venue even more beautiful. You can’t go wrong choosing AMS!
Mike did an absolutely amazing job for our wedding! He had everyone up dancing and was able to create an amazing playlist that fit us and our families. Working with him leading up to the wedding was super easy and an absolute pleasure. We also used his lighting and it was perfect! Would absolutely recommend Mike to anyone getting married.
best dj + lighting !!!!
Mike was amazing to work with! He is very knowledgeable about the industry. He guided us with music selection + timeline of events during our wedding. He coordinated the entire set up of our ceremony music / mic set up for our officiant. He let us have complete control of the music and even let us send him a playlist we put together that he could refer to during the wedding + keep along the vibes of the night. He is a no fuss / no frills kind of guy which is hard to come by with dj’s! He did an amazing job- we were dancing all night long. His light set up was nothing short of perfection, I will cherish the pictures of us dancing under his beautiful light set up!!!!! Set the entire mood of our wedding, we couldn’t imagine it any other way. Well worth the price for the service you receive! Would recommend Mike + his services to anyone!
Extra!! Extra!! Read all about it!! MIKE SAVES THE DAY!!!
Mike did a fantastic job at our 4.20.2024 wedding reception!! When our original DJ was unable to fulfill the job, Mike stepped in and killed it! Not only did he play all the music we requested to hear, he read the crowd beautifully. We recieved nothing but compliments on our music! Mike was in constant contact with the bride and/or the groom to ensure that we were happy and knew what was happening! Our lighthearted backyard reception was perfect with you there!
Thank you so much!!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Mike at AMS for my wedding, and to say it was an incredible experience is an understatement. He is an outstanding DJ/MC. To be fair, I’ve been a fan of his work for a long time. I’ve witnessed his work for over a decade (I used to work weddings as well where he frequently was the DJ/MC - also showing his incredible lighting and Photo Booth services). So when it was time to plan my own wedding, he was the first and ONLY DJ/MC that I wanted for my wedding. He’s professional, and just an overall funny and nice guy. His responsiveness is top-notch, addressing all my questions with ease. Working with him was a delight, and his passion for his craft shone through every interaction. The music he curated was simply amazing, keeping everyone on their feet throughout the entire night. There was a last minute miscommunication on my part, so I needed him to provide the microphone and music for the ceremony - and he jumped and handled it with so much ease. I will forever be indebted to him. Additionally, the photo booth services he provided were added an extra layer of fun and excitement, capturing unforgettable moments that will be cherished forever. The guests were obsessed with it. I HIGHLY recommend AMS to anyone in search of a memorable and flawless event/wedding experience.
We worked with Audio Media Solutions and Jared for our wedding, and we cannot say enough good about AMS and Jared! AMS made planning our music selections easy – not too much drama, and detailed and specific. As for Jared - not only did he throw us an absolutely fantastic dance party (the dance floor never emptied even when we stepped away for photos and despite our introverted personalities), he created a beautiful ceremony with careful microphone planning, ran a smooth reception including multiple speeches with several people involved in each and multiple rooms, and set up some phenomenal lighting in the old, wood-paneled mansion we got married in. It was a magical touch to be sure. But – most amazing of all – Jared got a flat tire on the way to our wedding and he STILL made it in plenty of time. He was ready for the ceremony and reception without delay, and made sure to keep our wedding coordinator informed as he dealt with his car. Despite that, he arrived calm and cheerful and ready for the evening, and he set the tone for our night. We are so grateful to have worked with him and AMS, and would recommend them highly to anyone reading this!
We really enjoyed working with Mike for our wedding! He was professional throughout the wedding planning process and really listened to what we wanted to have played for music throughout our ceremony and reception. Thank you Mike!
I'm still trying to come up with the words to describe how wonderful it was to work with Mike at Audio Media Solutions. We used his service for lighting, production, and reception music at the Wadsworth Mansion, and boy did he DELIVER!
From our initial outreach to the day of our wedding, Mike was not only extremely communicative and responsive, but also willing to offer suggestions, and ideas, and work with us to help our vision come to life. I had some fairly unique requests, such as incorporating a champagne acrobat into the event and a live saxophone player to accompany his DJ set, and Mike enthusiastically worked to ensure it all could flow seamlessly with our event. We weren't having a massive wedding, but with 105 people coming from 14 states and 4 countries, we wanted everyone to be WOWED, and Mike helped us do just that. His bistro lighting, uplighting, and dance floor lighting really elevated the experience, while setting the perfect ambiance at all the right moments. And with regards to his DJing, the dance floor was full the entire night! He really knew how to keep the party going, while feeling out what the crowd wanted to hear. The biggest thing I'd say though was his behind-the-scenes coordination. He worked hard to ensure everything was flowing from start to finish. Even little things, like moving the speakers from indoors to outdoors when he noticed our party congregating outside to the patio for dancing. We didn't have to ask, he just knew and for that, we are so grateful. Mike is a true professional and craftsman. I couldn't recommend him enough!
AMS was recommended to us by our venue and I am so glad they were free for our wedding date. Mike was very responsive from the first phone call and helped us arrange everything easily. Jared did a WONDERFUL job with the music and the lighting was perfection. I made a Spotify playlist for Jared to use as a reference and he really stuck to what I requested while adding in some stuff that still fit with the vibe. He was very easy to work with before the wedding and during the event itself he immediately responded to any of my requests (skipping a song if it wasn't working, making sure people were dancing, holding off on playing songs while my husband and I had to do other stuff outside). It is very obvious that the AMS team has a ton of experience with such events and we highly recommend them for your special day!
Mike went above and beyond for our wedding and that’s an understatement. On top of that, he’s a great guy, great communication, works with you on exactly what you want, and does flawless work. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone
I worked with Jared as our DJ and he made the process very easy. He walked us through the whole day and laid out a schedule of songs or “vibes” for each section. I think even if he had no input from us he’s great at reading the room and playing the right music. He was accommodating when I changed my first dance songs a million times in the days leading up to the wedding, and on the day of, our friend who is classically vocally trained was even able to sing a song during the reception to an instrumental track, totally spontaneously. Thank you Jared for helping us make our day so great!
We had an amazing experience with Mike as our DJ and lighting specialist for our August 2023 wedding at the Society Room. From the beginning, Mike was ready to hop on the phone at any time and answer our questions. He was generous with his time as we were deciding on what package to get for our wedding. He made the planning process easy and most importantly, our wedding dance floor was a huge success thanks to him! We had to extend the dance party for 30 minutes it was so much fun. He was very flexible when we asked to hire him for extra time at the literal last minute. His lighting is also AMAZING. The ambiance he created in the Society Room for our reception was simply magical. I didn't quite understand the impact of the lighting beforehand but just trust Mike- you won't regret it!
Mike did a fantastic job being the DJ and emcee for our wedding. When choosing a DJ for our wedding, he gave us ample time to think it over and come to our decision. Throughout the planning process, Mike was communicative and went above and beyond to ensure he had all of the details correct so that our day would go smoothly. He spent countless hours on the phone with us reviewing these details, and even spent additional time pulling music from YouTube and editing songs for our wedding dances. Thank you Mike for making our day so special!!!
Mike was absolutely amazing to work with! From our first phone meeting, we instantly hit it off. He easily guided us through the planning process and helped build our music vision. We still get compliments about him from our wedding, there was a little music for everyone and the dance floor was packed! He also did an awesome job with the uplighting and created the most beautiful ambiance. We cannot thank him enough for everything he’s done for us!!
We highly recommend Mike at AMS! He seamlessly emceed our ceremony and reception, and kept the dance floor packed all night with his great DJing. It was a relief to have such a professional running the show. The bistro lighting looked amazing as well!
We recently had the pleasure of working with Mike from Audio Media Solutions for our wedding, and we cannot express enough how grateful we are for his outstanding services. From the beginning, Mike exceeded our expectations and made our special day an absolute blast!
Mike's expertise and passion for his craft shone through as he guided us in curating the perfect playlist. He took the time to understand our preferences and vision. With his extensive knowledge of different genres and eras, he effortlessly helped us choose songs that resonated with us and our guests.
Mike's professionalism and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of his work. The sound quality he delivered was exceptional. Every note and beat resonated through the venue with absolute clarity, creating an immersive experience. Mike's expertise in audio and sound engineering truly made a difference.
To add a touch of enchantment to our reception, Mike incorporated beautiful string lights into the setup. They created a warm and inviting ambiance, casting a soft and romantic glow over the entire venue. The string lights added a magical element to our celebration, making it even more memorable.
We received numerous compliments from our guests about the incredible music and the magical atmosphere created by the string lights, and it's all thanks to Mike from Audio Media Solutions. His expertise in audio and sound quality and his genuine passion for creating unforgettable moments made our wedding a resounding success.
If you're looking for a professional who is not only talented but also brings a level of expertise in audio and sound quality, look no further than Mike from Audio Media Solutions. His commitment to delivering exceptional experiences will undoubtedly make your wedding or any special occasion truly unforgettable. We cannot recommend him highly enough!
Thank you, Mike, for making our wedding day truly unforgettable!
Mike from AMS was the BEST. We hired him for our wedding in March 2023 and I would hire him again in an instant if I could. As both a DJ and our lighting guy he was phenomenal. He was so helpful when trying to plan our dream visually and even showing up the day before to help us install a neon sign that was not his.
As a DJ he was a blast. He had our guests on the dance floor ALLLL night and I am still hearing how much fun the party was today (a month later). He was super accommodating, responsive and always willing to help find the perfect song. He had every detail covered with sound and music from ceremony to last song. He was super creative and great to talk to. He really took the time to figure out what my husband and I liked, even finding the most obscure songs my father wanted.
The bistro lighting was beautiful, and the photo booth was a great touch that our guests loved. He really does it all!
Mike was amazing! Everyone had a great night, music was awesome, he was very helpful and accommodating even up until the night before, and the added photo booth was 100% worth it! We are so happy we found him!
This vendor did bistro lighting and indoor lighting as well for our wedding and just wow! Magnificent!
Mike is a great DJ! We got in touch after a recommendation from a friend and we couldn't have picked better. Leading up to the wedding he was incredibly generous with his time, organized, and just really fun to talk to. The day of was seamless, he was incredibly thoughtful about our music tastes, and we had a packed dance floor all night. Can't recommend Mike highly enough!
Mike was an amazing DJ and my husband and I were so happy to have him at our wedding. He was always willing to answer our questions no matter how many we asked. He is very committed to ensuing the wedding goes exactly how the couple has envisioned and we loved that about him.
We had a fantastic experience with AMS for our wedding at the Wadsworth Mansion in Middletown. Mike expertly blended all of our song requests and the dance floor was never empty - the party was jumping from start to finish! The lighting and sound quality were top notch and his expertise really made our wedding day special!
Mike was amazing!! We had him DJ our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception along with providing up lighting and a photo booth for our wedding at the Society Room of Hartford. He knocked it out of the park! All of my guests were (and still are) raving about how good the music and experience was. Mike knows his stuff, and is very pleasant to work with. Highly recommend!!
I can't recommend Mike @ AMS enough. There is a lot more to being a great wedding DJ than playing good music. Mike has great attention to detail, organization, planning, etc., and he is a great DJ on top of all of that. His sound quality is top notch, not to mention he can do incredible lighting (bistro lighting, uplighting, etc.).
Our dance floor was outside on a patio, under a tent because it was supposed to downpour on our wedding day. The tent was less effective than expected, and Mike expressed concerns to us (discreetly) that it would be a safety hazard to dance on the (very) wet dance floor. Mike had no problem moving his entire setup inside while everyone ate dinner, and we ended up having a great time regardless of the rain.
Mike from AMS is the absolute BEST! From our first phone call with him, my now husband and I knew that he was the guy for our wedding. He has been in the music and entertainment industry in all aspects for his entire life, so he really knows his stuff. And he's just so cool and down to earth that we immediately clicked with him. We hired him for our 12-30-21 wedding at The Society Room of Hartford, after being referred to him by Melissa, the event coordinator for the venue. He works there regularly and knows the venue up and down. We ended up hiring him for not only his Dj services but also for lighting, since he does some really cool lighting as well! He played the music we wanted, did not say anything cheesy on the mic lol, and the lighting turned out amazing! We are so happy we chose Mike and definitely recommend him for any and all events!
Mike was very personable, professional, and experienced. He made sure everything went well, had the lighting perfect at the Society Room of Hartford, and everyone enjoyed the music and danced the night away!
My husband and I got married this past weekend and Mike from AMS was incredible. He really catered to our wants and needs, didn't make the whole wedding about him like some DJ's/MC's do, and really knew how to read the room and adapt accordingly. All of our guests had a great time and loved their experience. He helped make it the best day of our lives and I highly recommend him to any couples looking for someone amazing to DJ their wedding! Chef's kiss!
Mike and AMS are truly THE BEST!
We had a backyard wedding along the Connecticut River. Mike did our music, sound, and micing for the ceremony, was the DJ/MC for our reception, and we also did the uplighting package. The uplighting package was a great call to enhance our reception space since it was outside under a large white tent.
Our guests couldn't stop talking about how awesome the music/lighting was and what a blast they had!
Mike is thoughtful and thorough to ensure you’re getting the exact theme/vibe that you’re looking for. The pre-wedding questionnaire allowed us to narrow down the type of music we wanted which was super helpful.
He is very professional, attentive, and quick to respond to all your questions. If you are in need of music or lighting, I strongly recommend Mike & AMS!!!
My husband and I can not say enough wonderful things about Mike and AMS! He truly went above and beyond to make sure our big day went smoothly and was everything we imagined it would and more. He was so easy to work with (even after we were forced to push our date out by a year due to Covid) and absolutely killed it with the music! Our guests couldn't stop talking about how awesome the music/lighting was and, as a result, how fun our wedding was. He's truly the BEST in the biz!
My wife and I were EXTREMELY happy with Audio Media Solutions – Mike is the best! We had our wedding at the Wadsworth Mansion, where Mike has hands-down the best lighting package you can get; I would go so far as to say that Mike’s bistro light package is a must if you’re getting married at the Wadsworth.
On top of his excellent lighting, we also used Mike as the DJ for our wedding and once again, we only have positive feedback to give. Most important to me is that Mike isn’t one of those corny wedding DJ’s that’s on the mic for the entire event, making people cringe in the audience. Mike was extremely professional, courteous and light-hearted during the wedding. And the music! I was very impressed with Mike’s pre-wedding questionnaire that allowed us to narrow down the type of music we wanted played. My wife and I had a pretty comprehensive list of “must-play” and “don’t play” songs but even then Mike perfectly filled the gaps in time with songs that perfectly fit the vibe we wanted at the wedding. I’d strongly recommend Mike for both lighting and DJ’ing anytime.
I cannot say enough great things about AMS Media!! I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of music and lighting for their big day. We had them DJ our wedding and provide lighting. The music was great! Mike really listened to the theme/genre we were going for and the music kept everyone on the dance floor all night long. He even downloaded a requested song for us during the event. The lighting not only created a fun "club/dance party" like atmosphere but it was absolutely stunning. It lit up the room in a beautiful color that created an "awe" moment. We began working and planning for our big day pre-pandemic and had to postpone a year later and Mike was so flexible working with us during the difficult times. He was very professional and attentive, jumping on a quick call at anytime to answer last minute questions. If you are in need of music or lighting, Mike at AMS Media is your guy!! Thank you for making our special day so amazing and fun!!
Working with Mike at AMS was so fun - he was engaging and excited to bring our reception to life! We gave him a general idea of songs we enjoyed and he was able to read the room for cocktail hour, dinner and get people up and dancing afterwards. He worked in a few unexpected cover songs that we had never heard before, but LOVED.
When planning our wedding, we never worried about the entertainment part of it all because we knew Mike came with so much experience that our wedding would be easy peasy for him. In addition to being a great DJ, he put on a fun light show that just added to the atmosphere!
Finding vendors can be a little stressful-especially the search for a good DJ. Mike from AMS turned out to be much more than that. He is a drummer and is well versed in music. He clearly knows how to work a crowd. Being a musician myself, I was very impressed with his ability to incorporate the songs that were meaningful to us, but also wasn’t afraid to provide suggestions that he knew our guests would love. He is also a one-stop-shop.
The bistro lighting he provides is actually the only lighting they allow at our venue and for good reason-1.) it’s stunning and 2.) AMS has a great reputation. Mike is an excellent communicator-especially when creating a schedule with our vendors to ensure the night ran smoothly. We were especially impressed with how Mike has multiple backup devices to ensure there were no mishaps and uses top notch equipment so the sound is crystal clear. Austin and I couldn’t be happier with our decision to use AMS!
We were first drawn to Mike for his bistro lighting. We quickly realized that this guy gets it - he gave us more insight into how to have a smooth (and fun) wedding than any blog, website, or planner could have. Mike was so much fun to work with and he made our entire wedding have the extra "it" factor. I can't even tell you the number of compliments we received on the music AND the lighting!! We held our wedding at the Wadsworth Mansion on June 26th and Mike had the whole Mansion lit up. My friends (who are ravers) were even so impressed with the lighting display. As a DJ, Mike was able to read the room and keep the music flowing. We played everything from ABBA to The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. It was exactly what we wanted and our guests loved it! He also has a really, really great dog.
I got married at The Riverhouse at Goodspeed Station June 19th and Mike did my ceremony, cocktail hour and reception music along with lighting and sound and I couldn't have picked a better DJ. I have been a wedding planner for years, so to say I had high standards when booking a DJ isn't a secret. Mike was absolutely wonderful to work with from day 1-he was organized, professional and quick to respond if I had questions or needed his opinion. The AV and sound for my ceremony and during speeches never faltered, the lighting package I had was amazing and all my guests loved it. I was able to provide a few key songs to Mike for the reception and he read the crowd for the rest of the night and we had guests dancing for 3 hours straight!!
Mike was extremely professional and helped make our wedding day a blast! Our guests loved the music and the lighting he provided. We originally created a playlist for him through Spotify just to give him an idea of what kind of music we liked, and he expanded on that and provided an atmosphere that all of our guests enjoyed. He worked with us on our timeline and introductions for our ceremony, reception and dances and was more than willing to take requests from people. My wife and I are people of color (African American) so we're very picky when it comes to our music so when we first sat down with Mike, we were skeptical, and one would think "can this guy really do our wedding?" All that skepticism went away when showed us his professionalism and the equipment that he uses and even demonstrated it to us. I first heard about Mike via our wedding venue, and I met him in person at a bridal expo. His services are money WELL SPENT!!! Everyone just raved about the music he played at our wedding. I can't thank him enough for being our DJ!
Mike with AMS is amazing! I highly recommend him as a DJ for your wedding. He was organized, easy to work with, and felt like a good friend who just happened to be playing the music. We ended up having a rainy wedding day but Mike was flexible and worked with all our needs, even adding in some special touches and working with the vibe of the guests. Our friends and family raved about his services. The uplighting added to our tents and the dance floor, truly made our day magical!
Mike was absolutely fantastic! He was a pleasure to work with and made the planning a breeze. Mike is very personable and friendly and I would highly recommend him to anyone.
DJ Mike was the very first vendor we retained after we secured our venue back in 2018(!!!!). We were captivated by his experience and personality. Let's be honest, everyone (guests and vendors) who had a chance to connect with Mike called him Mr. Personality. Mike was super accommodating when we had to postpone our original date due to Covid. He was also very communicative (email, text, call). We felt very secure and grateful to have him as part of our team. Did I mention the party lights with which he came prepared?? Thanks again!
My wife & I had been in talks and planning our May 1, 2021 wedding since May 2020 and we couldn't imagine having done it without Jared from AMS. Despite living 2 hours away from Hartford, CT, Jared and Mike made it beyond easy to communicate with them and were extremely receptive and fun to work with. Jared did an amazing job helping perfect the flow of our wedding and playing music that worked with our crowd and got people involved and excited. Jared also helped us a lot by making the desired moments we wanted perfect and working with us in the moment to adjust plans and make our wedding easy on us. Most importantly, Jared did an amazing job at combining our "must play" songs and the base reception music together seamlessly. AMS is worth it and I'll keep giving them praises because they helped made our big day the one we always dreamed of.
We couldn’t be happier to have used AMS for our 5/1/21 wedding! Mike was incredible from the first moment we met him to the end of the night when he said his goodnights to the families. He was professional, kind, and just an absolutely wonderful guy to have around. The energy of the entire day was amazing beginning to end, and the music played such an important role in that. We had countless guests come up to us solely to say how wonderful the music was, and the dance floor was never empty. And the lights. THE LIGHTS. He made this absolute dreamscape of fairy lights on the inside of the reception tent that couldn’t be replicated by fairies themselves. AMS is hands down the best company to hire for any celebration, ever. We couldn’t be more grateful for Mike’s hard work, friendly nature, and attention to detail in our wedding. He’s the best of the best!!
It’s simple- you want this man for all of your DJ/lighting needs. Our wedding ran smoothly from start to finish and we truly believe it was all thanks to Mike. He listened to all of our thoughts, ideas and requests. He offered insightful advice and gave us direction! Extremely responsive and a pleasure to work with. The dancing never stopped, and he knew how to read the crowd. Book AMS and you will not regret it!!
