DJ Mike was awesome!
We found him on the Knot based on reviews and he seemed like a modern DJ that fit our vibe. He was professional, straight-forward with his pricing and packages, and well organized leading up to our wedding day.
It was a h...ectic day dealing with weather, flipping and re-flipping our reception site, and dealing with other vendors during that process. Our wedding ended up starting late too. He waited until we made the final decision to have the reception outside and then he set up by himself in just a few minutes and started playing music in the background. He was very calm and chill during the whole process. He was all smiles and vibing the whole time, we loved it! It was nice to not have to worry about the DJ at all.
The reception and dance party went on without a hitch and everybody had a blast! I’ve been to weddings that seem like the DJ just typed in “wedding dance playlist” and hit play. We really did not want multiple Bruno Mars songs in a row followed by the Macarena... He avoided all the corny over-played wedding songs we asked him not to play, and he played all the songs we did request while adding in some of his own song choices. He mixed and transitioned the songs together, and added some effects and scratching here and there which was cool! Not all DJs know how to do this well or at all. During our grand entrance, we wanted to walk out right on the drop of a particular song so DJ Mike made a loop before the drop that worked perfectly.
All of his equipment was pro quality and worked great including lights, mixer, speakers, microphones, etc. I’ve been to weddings this past year that had DJ equipment malfunctions (wireless mics cutting out during the ceremony, and the music stopping abruptly during the dance party).
The venue had a hard stop at 10pm but we kept the bar open for another hour. Even though we only booked him until 10pm, DJ Mike stayed the whole time playing music at lower volume in the background which made the end of the night wind down perfect.
He got a feel for us and knew we wanted a fun party so he acted accordingly. He made the right song choices, kept the energy up, and was dancing and vibing behind the booth all night. I’m sure he will adjust to whatever vibe you are going for, whether it’s a party or maybe something more low-key. If we were to ever need DJ again, we would definitely hire Custom Fit Dj again.
Thanks Mike!
