5 stars doesn’t feel like enough for how incredible DJ Mav was! DJ Mav did our ceremony music, cocktail hour, and reception. We were pretty particular with our play and do not play list and he did not disappoint. He hit every one of our must play songs and was able to read the dance floor perfectly to adjust if a song wasn’t hitting with the crowd. The dance floor was packed all night and we had the best time. On top of that, we got our photobooth through DJ Mav and it was awesome. We were able to provide our own logo for the photo strip and everyone loved the props.

We worked with DJ Mav Entertainment for our June 2025 wedding and could not be more grateful that we made that decision! From the start of the planning process, DJ Mike and DJ Lore...

n were wonderful— quick to reply and answer questions, transparent with pricing, supportive, and incredibly easy to work with. The planning form they sent us was well detailed and helped us feel organized leading up to our big day. DJ Loren was our DJ on the night of our wedding, and Daniel was our MC. Both of them were fantastic — they kept the flow of the reception organized, made sure to check in with my husband and I consistently throughout the evening, and were just simply wonderful all around. Our dance floor was full the ENTIRE night, and we had so many guests (of all ages!) tell us how great the music was. They truly helped to make the night unforgettable. We’d choose DJ Mav Entertainment time and time again - thank you for everything!!

Mike and his team were amazing! He was so easy to communicate with over email and text throughout the entire process. My top priority for our wedding was a high-energy dance floor ...

with seamless transitions, and Mike absolutely delivered. The dance floor was packed all night, it truly felt like we had our own personal nightclub, especially with the added lighting package (which I definitely recommend!). Our guests loved the photo booth, and it was such a nice touch to receive digital copies of all the photos the very next day. Mike also took the time to do a mic check with our officiant to ensure the audio was perfect, which we really appreciated. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better wedding DJ!

J, and it’s even harder to find someone so kind and easy to work with. From start to finish, Mike had everything seamlessly organized and was also able to generously customize whatever was needed to fit our specific vision for our day. There is so much to do for a wedding, and you need the music to be exceptional no matter what. We were able to count on Mike to provide a flawless experience. Countless guests told us this was the best dance floor they’d ever been on and it was full all night long! I’ve also never seen someone read the room so quickly and know exactly how to take the party to the next level. We can’t thank you enough Mike!

We gave him a lot of freedom, with only knowing a "vibe" we wanted (and struggled to put into words) and he played perfect songs the entire evening. Highly recommend!

They provided us with an easy to fill out form with all of our music options, speeches, etc. which made planning so easy! Even with us having some more obscure music from a video game, DJ Mike made it so seamless and perfect. Our guests loved it too, as myself and many of my guests were on the dance floor for the majority of the night. I can't recommend them enough!

His team, was again, stellar. The photographers went above and beyond capturing every moment. All the emotions, the tears, the falls, they got everything in camera without missing a beat. And everyone loved the drone!

We love DJ Mav! From the start Mike has been a great contact. He's organized, level-headed, and has a great sense for what is needed to make a great party. There were many little d...

etails to work out that I was stressing over, such as timing the processional music correctly and sending over mp3 files for our special first dance track. Looking back I really didn't need to worry because Mike handled everything perfectly. We booked him in the partnered package with PsPi studios which I highly, highly recommend. (I'll give them a separate review shortly.) The musical intuition during the dancing portion of the night was phenomenal -- somehow he picked banger after banger. I think not too long into the night Mike figured out the kind of crowd we are because I had some friends who danced ALL NIGHT. We actually saved a lot on liquor because they were too busy dancing to drink. Some of the older guests were marveling at the younger crowd for knowing all the lyrics to a lot of songs! DJ Mav played a huge role in making our special day totally perfect and I highly recommend them.
