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!

was really kind, respectful, and chill. Many of our guests complimented how seamless (and awesome) the transitions between songs were during the dancing portions.

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!

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.

Thank you, DJ Mav, for being the soundtrack to our wedding.
