Michael did such a great job being the DJ and MC for our wedding. He kept everything flowing smoothly from the ceremony, to cocktail hour, through dinner and the reception. My wife...
and I didn't have to worry about a thing on the schedule. Michael absolutely killed it on the playlist for the dance floor. He did custom edits for our first dance/parent dances that he sent to us prior so we could practice. He made sure to get to know us, our guests, so that he could curate a playlist to make everyone happy. It worked so well, we had all of our guests out on the dance floor all night! We got married at A-Basin and he made it seamless getting all of his gear up the mountain, there was basically nothing we had to worry about. He coordinated beautifully between the venue, photographer, and other vendors. I could not recommend them enough to anyone getting married. I also thought his pricing was incredibly reasonable for the level of service we received. Thank you Michael!!! You helped make it a day to remember!

g thoughtful suggestions and guidance that made everything feel seamless and stress-free.
One of our favorite touches was the custom mix he created for our special dances. He took the time to perfectly cut and blend the songs, and the result was even better than we imagined. It made those moments feel truly personal and unforgettable.
The music throughout the night was amazing, and we received so many compliments from our guests. Most importantly, the dance floor was packed all night long, which was exactly what we hoped for. DJ Mike did an incredible job reading the crowd, keeping the energy high, and creating a fun, celebratory atmosphere from start to finish.
We had an absolute blast, and we are so grateful for the role he played in making our wedding day so memorable. We would highly recommend DJ Mike to any couple looking for a talented, professional DJ who knows how to keep the party going and create an unforgettable experience.
Cate was the DJ at our wedding on 6/28/26 and she was incredible. We chose a remote venue with no additional power and she knew exactly what to bring and where to put everything, i...
ncluding lights to make the Yurt absolutely magical. We're no music experts and certainly no wedding experts, so having Cate walk us through every step really helped us plan for and have an incredible day. Despite our wedding being only 10 miles from a local fire and having ash raining down on our venue at times, Cate kept calm and kept the vibes going.
Our guests danced all night and we absolutely loved it!
Cate from Dancin' Shoes DJ was wonderful. Each song / cue went off without a hitch. Our guests raved about the dance party during the reception. Cate was a great MC throughout the ...

eamlessly. They also helped me pull off a surprise live performance for my hubby. Professionalism through and through, our guests were dancing having an amazing time to the very end. We LOVED the lighting they brought to our venue, it really made the space feel cozy and also lively. Definitely have Dancin' Shoes for you wedding you won't regret it!!
Dancin Shoes DJ was INCREDIBLE. Michael did a fantastic job on so many parts of our wedding. Our guests were dancing the whole night, and we received many compliments during and af...
ter the wedding how they loved our DJ.
Some ways Michael really went above and beyond:
- He helped for a very smooth ceremony, meeting with our officiant and getting him completely mic'd up.
- He deeply understands music transitions and vibes, to appeal to all types of crowds and keep the dance floor popping
- He came extremely prepared, coordinating with our day-of coordinator and other musicians.
If you're reading this, you should honestly just reach out to Michael. I probably looked up like 15 DJs, and we're so happy that we chose Dancin' Shoes.
Dancin’ Shoes DJ was one of our favorite vendors to work with for our wedding. Michael was incredibly responsive. He made it easy to share our music preferences and build the timel...
ine for the day. Our ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and dancing were all in different areas of the venue, and he handled the transitions seamlessly. His uplighting created a fun atmosphere, the energy was fantastic, and the dance floor was full all night. We absolutely recommend DJ Michael and his team to anyone looking for a professional and talented wedding DJ.
We worked with Michael as our main DJ and point of contact, and he was fantastic! He helped us immensely in the planning, had detailed ideas and recommendations when we were stumpe...
d during the process, and was willing to work with our unique request for a live drummer.
The flexibility they showed was very reassuring, and their DJing skills were great! It wasn't just the songs we wanted, but also great transition work and blending that really made things memorable to all of our guests who were partying with us.
We enjoyed working with this vendor and specifically Sean on our wedding day. Dancin' was communicative throughout the planning process and receptive to our playlist specifications...
. Sean took direction well once guests took to the dance floor. Thanks to him for keeping the party going!
The lighting package and photo booth option this vendor supplies was solid, and we're glad we had that for our guests on the day-of!

ent!!! I want to do it again! Haha
We LOVED Mike! Our venue gave us a list of recommended vendors, and they told us straight up that Mike is the only one worth using, and they were absolutely right. If you’re a plan...
ner/perfectionist like I am, you will appreciate his attention to detail and willingness to work with you on specifics. He sends you a very thorough document after your first meeting with him that outlines your wedding day timeline with which music goes where, and then you can fill in what specific songs/genres you would like for each section. We had made our own playlist for cocktail hour, and he was able to make it flow seamlessly and put everything together extremely smoothly. There was always a mic where it needed to be for which speech, and he made sure to tailor the reception music to both young and old guests attending. Overall, just an amazing experience, and would highly recommend using him for your wedding!
ate was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the start, she was professional, responsive, and provided clear information about the different packages. She met with us virtually ...
to answer all our questions, which made the process feel simple and stress-free.
After we chose Cate as our DJ, her communication remained excellent. She offered great suggestions for music and was also flexible when I decided to handpick every song myself—she blended them seamlessly into the perfect wedding playlist. She also handled all the microphones and sound for the ceremony, so we didn’t have to worry about a thing.
It’s clear this isn’t Cate’s first wedding—she was incredibly prepared, organized, and professional. She made the entire planning process so much easier, and we’re so grateful for her role in making our day perfect.
We had the BEST experience with Michael. He took so much care and time walking us through the process leading up to our wedding to understand exactly the vibe & vision we had for o...
ur night. He was the perfect MC, making the whole night feel seamless & easy, keeping guests moving from the ceremony all the way through toasts and the afterparty, removing a huge burden from my husband & I, which let us enjoy the night and feel like guests ourselves. He took our music wishlist and curated the perfect night of dancing that kept our guests on the dance floor the whole night -- even making space for me to get on stage and DJ for a song. It was truly the most magical night for my husband and I - HUGE thanks to Michael.
We cannot say enough amazing things about working with Mike. From start to finish, he was professional, attentive, and truly went above and beyond to make our wedding unforgettable...
. The communication leading up to the day was seamless—he took the time to understand our vision, our style, and the kind of energy we wanted for each part of the night.
On the wedding day itself, Mike absolutely nailed it. The ceremony music was perfectly timed and beautiful, the cocktail hour set the right mood, and the reception was an absolute blast—our dance floor was packed all night long! He read the crowd effortlessly, kept the energy high, and mixed songs in a way that had everyone dancing together.
We received so many compliments from our guests about how fun the music was, and we know it’s thanks to Mike's talent and expertise. If you’re looking for someone who is not only skilled but also a joy to work with, we couldn’t recommend Mike more highly. They truly made our celebration feel magical.
We had such an incredible experience working with Cate at Dancin’ shoes as our wedding DJ. She was so professional and communicative leading up to the wedding and on the day itself...
everything went smoothly and you couldn’t pry people away from the dance floor. Would highly recommend!
We absolutely couldn't recommend Cate and Dancin' shoes DJ and Lighting enough! She perfectly picked up our vibe, flowing through a mix of emo, classic 50s, swing, 2000s hip hop, a...

te mountain meadow, and Cate brought a battery pack, wireless mic, and headset for our officiant so that all of our guests could hear the entire ceremony. Cate was prepared, professional, and her MC style perfectly matched our energy. Our dance floor was packed with all ages all night and we got lots of compliments on the dance party from our guests. Would highly recommend Cate and Dancin' Shoes for any event.

we looked his way. 1000% would use him again and recommend him to any of our friends and family. Oh, and nevermind how cool the lights were. Dancin' Shoes DJ and Lighting absolutely rocked our wedding. Thanks!
We started working with Michael from Dancin' Shoes DJ and later requested DJ Quiggy to be our wedding DJ. From the very beginning, we felt truly understood as we discussed our musi...
c preferences and favorite artists. Both Michael and Quiggy took the time to get to know our style, and we felt confident going into our big day.
On the wedding day, DJ Quiggy went above and beyond our expectations. He expertly mixed a unique blend of 80s and 90s Norwegian pop songs with modern U.S. hits, a challenge that he absolutely nailed. The way he seamlessly combined the Norwegian tracks we love with the English/American ones was perfect. And to top it all off, he closed the night with The Final Countdown, which sent the entire party into a frenzy—what an epic ending!
We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ experience, and if we ever need a DJ again, DJ Quiggy and Dancin' Shoes DJ will be our first call. Thank you so much, Michael and Quiggy, for making our special day unforgettable!
Ugh, I hate leaving bad reviews but I have to share that we did not have a good experience with Mike. We paid for one of the highest packages to have Mike as our DJ and not someone...
from his team because he came highly recommended. He was one of our most expensive vendors so we were excited to have him and assumed he would do a great job. We asked him to cut out a part of the song for our procession and he ended up playing that part of the song TWICE. Mike was supposed to start playing our first dance song as we were walking to the dance floor and he waited until we got to the middle of the dance floor to play the song. My maid of honor and the groom walked up to him a few times during the dancing to ask him to change the song to something that was in our playlist and he said he was "working up to it". We were really disappointed with Mike and his lack of awareness to the requests we made leading into the wedding but also day of. I unfortunately highly recommend looking elsewhere for a DJ.
Wow wow wow - we can't say enough good things about working with Cate and Michael! They were professional, responsive, and proactive through the entire planning process and on the ...
day of Cate absolutely crushed it. We have gotten so many compliments and MULTIPLE requests for our wedding playlist because it was banger after banger. Cate was so good at picking up cues from the room and keeping the energy high. Transitions and live mixing were on point, song choice was excellent throughout the entire night, and she helped keep the flow of toasts, dances, announcements, etc. while not taking the focus away from the moment.
She was so quick and efficient with setup and breakdown, the equipment all worked great outside in the rain, and there were zero issues with any equipment including speakers and mics. We got married at Arapahoe Basin, a venue with some logistical challenges (high elevation, need a high clearance vehicle on the service road, wild weather) and she handled it all without a hitch.
TLDR; Go with Dancin' Shoes DJ for the best vibes and a perfect night :)

hear. EVERYONE has told us how it was the best wedding music they have heard. We were super picky about out music and wanted it to feel like a club. He did not miss. It was amazing. We cannot thank him and his partner enough the look of the lighting, the sound, everything was perfect.
Michael from Dancing Shoes DJ and Lighting was incredible. The DJ can make or break a wedding and he couldn’t have been a greater pick. He took the time to chat with us for hours a...
sking us what we want and what he has to offer months before the wedding and again weeks before. He lived up to every expectation we had and the dance floor moving the entire night! Our guests continually were telling us how awesome our DJ is. He knows exactly when to play what song and how to evolve the dancing throughout the night. On top of it all he is a really kind and genuine person who truly wanted the best for us on our big day. 200% recommend booking him or any of his DJs! Thanks Michael!

We booked Mike as our DJ and Lighting specialist about a year out from our wedding. From the moment we reached out, he was fully responsive and professional filling us in on every ...
detail that went into his DJ process for weddings. Not only is he extremely passionate about music in general, but he also thoroughly supported our vision and stuck to our playlists we provided while making sure the family stayed on the dance floor all night long. Mike and his team also did an amazing lighting setup with string market lights and Chinese lanterns that really captured everything we had in mind, making our night unique and special to us. It was a pleasure working with Mike and Carolina on the day of our wedding as they helped make sure the night went smoothly.

ence and professionalism. He took the time to understand our musical preferences, ensuring that the playlist perfectly reflected our vision for the celebration. Anthony's ability to read the crowd and seamlessly transition between genres kept the energy on the dance floor electric throughout the entire evening.
He not only met but exceeded our expectations, effortlessly blending our favorite tunes with his own expert selections. Anthony's enthusiasm and passion for his craft were infectious, and it was evident that he took great joy in contributing to the joyous atmosphere of our wedding. Thanks to him, our dance floor was alive with laughter and pure joy, making our wedding day an unforgettable celebration filled with love and fantastic music

We would highly recommend him and his company for anyone's special day!

The music selection was outstanding, ranging from the highly requested "Cotton Eye Joe" by my sister to the must-play "Def Leppard" by my husband, keeping the dance floor packed all night. We can't praise her enough. If you're in search of a wedding DJ, choose her!
Thank you for helping create our dream wedding from start to finish! You really kept the mood high, and played exactly what we wanted! You killed it and we can’t thank you enough! ...

last minute change of our first dance song he rolled with it and adjusted the scheduled so that everything else wasn't affected. We got lots of comments about how great the DJ was. Would 100% recommend Mike!
If I could give Cate and the Dancin' Shoes team more than 5 stars I would. We had such an incredible experience with the entire team and it's obvious they are true pros. They were ...
willing to answer questions as we were gathering quotes, took time to learn more about us to tailor their music choices, met up with us before the wedding day to make sure everything was in order, and went above and beyond on the actual day.
The music was incredible and Cate did a fantastic job taking our recommendations but also reading the dance floor, taking requests, and interacting with guests. But she also did so much more to make our day run smoothly. She helped corral vendors, released tables, did MC'ing, and kept us on schedule. And most importantly, she kept the dance floor packed the entire reception. We've had at least 10 people tell us Cate was the best DJ/dance floor they've seen at a wedding and we couldn't agree more.
Thank you SO MUCH for making our day so memorable. We'd hire Cate + team again in a second!!!
Michael is exactly what you want for your wedding. Many people came up to us and said it was the best wedding they have ever been to, everyone pretty much stayed in the dance floor...
until we got kicked out. Can not recommend more.
Mike did an amazing job with both our ceremony and reception. The lighting also looked fantastic, AND he was able to book and coordinate with our photo booth people giving us one l...
ess thing to worry about. He did a fantastic job with the music genres we picked and our guests spent the entire night on the dance floor. Our venue staff even commented on how fun of a wedding it was for them to work! Dancin' Shoes DJ is a FANTASTIC choice to have for your wedding.
Mike and his team were absolutely incredible! Not only are they super cool, they are excellent at their jobs. The amount of guests that asked who our DJ was and “can I have the who...
le playlist” is too many to count. We trusted Mike to just do his thing and, as I told him, “read the room,” and he absolutely crushed it! We weren’t picky, just wanted it to be the best dance party ever and Mike delivered and then some! You won’t go wrong hiring him and his team!
Cate was awesome! She kept the flow of events seamlessly and kept the dancefloor packed!
As the owner of a Denver based event planning company, I work with A LOT of MC/DJs. But when it came to choosing the perfect fit for my own wedding, there wasn't even a question of...
who we would pick. Michael is passionate about what he does, he's got a great positive energy, and he can read the room like it's his super-power. On top of that, he is organized, thorough, and easy to work with from beginning to end.
As if all that weren't enough, Dancin' Shoes also has a ton of really awesome lighting options! IMO lighting is probably one of the most bang-for-your buck upgrades you can add to your event, and this team absolutely nails it!
I am so grateful we were able to book Michael with Dancin' Shoes for our wedding, can't recommend them enough!
Michael and his assistant Carolina were amazing! Michael listens well and took very good care of us! He Smiles constant which we love! His suggestions were great, he put together a...
great song list! I would have been lost without Carolina, she was so helpful especially with the ‘Q’s’ on when to walk down the aisle, etc. We highly recommend Michael with Dancin Shoes for you next event!

night. He helped keep us, our wedding party and wedding guests on track and groovin' smoothly all evening. He played exactly what we wanted to hear and stuck with our disco dancey vibes, along with the appropriate lighting which helped set the mood. He was smiling and enjoying himself, which we feel inspired others to do the same. Everyone danced through most of our cocktail hour and through the entire dance party at the end of the night. We feel the playlist was everything and we'll be listening to it the rest of our lives.
We highly recommend Sean and Dancin' Shoes to anybody who is getting married, throwing an event or a spectacular dance party. We can't speak they're praises enough!
Thank you to everyone at Dancin' Shoes!
