Michael was INCREDIBLE! He DJ'd and MC'd our wedding in March 2025 and everything was perfect. Before the wedding, he really took the time to listen to what we wanted and pictured, and totally catered our day to fit us as a couple. He gave great suggestions and guidance as well. Not to mention, he's just a really kind and fun person! I'd recommend him to anyone!
DJ MC Duke will be the greatest investment for your wedding. He is so responsive, he’s vibey, his app for music is easy to use. Our wedding was on 3/15 and I still am getting daily texts about how incredible our dance floor and DJ were. He knows how to keep a crowd happy, his voice is great for announcing and he goes with the flow. I wish I could have a wedding every year just so I can have DJ MC Duke be there getting all our loved ones out on the dance floor. We also used him for our photo booth which was easy to set up, our friends and family loved getting to use the props and now we have all the photos and memories from that day!
We are so happy we had DJ MC Duke do our wedding! Michael was great about meeting with us before our event and getting to know our personal preferences. He’s approachable, friendly, and has great energy. He was organized and made the planning process really easy as well. On the day of our wedding he did an amazing job with the music, and he also helped with the flow of the entire ceremony and reception which we really appreciated! I would 100% choose him again.
We used Michael's services for our October wedding in Jerome. We used his dj/mc services and his officiant services.
I am so happy with our choice to hire Dj Mc Duke! He really helped the day run so smoothly, even helping with any task (not even in his job description) lol
He helped keep the flow of the day, get people on the dance floor, chatted with guests and helped with whatever was needed.
We had him officiate our wedding and it was perfect! He completely understood us as a couple and made it so much fun for us to just relax and enjoy our day.
You will be so happy with your choice to hire Michael!
DJ MC Duke was amazing! He's had everything dialed in from the ceremony all the way to the last song of the night! If you want the best wedding DJ in Arizona, look no further!
Michael did a fantastic job as our wedding DJ and emcee. He took the time to meet with us on multiple occasions to get to know us as a couple, to learn about our music interests, and to understand what type of vibe we were going for at the ceremony and reception. He created a timeline for our wedding that was so helpful because I did not have a day--of coordinator. He even gave my brother some pointers since it was his first time being an officiant. The party was so much fun, the music was great, his lighting was awesome, and all of our guests enjoyed the photobooth. 10/10 would recommend!
DJ Mike Duke delivered such incredible performance at our wedding. Leading up to our big day on April 12th 2024 Mike always kept in communication via FaceTime chats to get to know us & took care of all the details in order to make our day run smooth. He was super professional & a great DJ to work with. We knew we could put all my trust in his hands to deliver an exceptional service.
From start to finish, Micheal was incredibly professional and easy to work with. He took the time to listen to our preferences and requests, ensuring that the music reflected our style perfectly. The energy they brought to the reception was amazing, keeping the dance floor alive all night long. We're so grateful for their fantastic service and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top-notch DJ for their wedding.
We recently had Michael DJ our wedding on 4.5.24. He was a recommended DJ from our venue and we are so glad we chose him! We received so many compliments from our guests about how engaging and interactive he was throughout the night. Our main goal for the night was to keep our guests on the dance floor and he did just that! We had so much fun dancing the night away with our friends and family and can’t thank Michael enough for keeping the vibes high for the entire night!
I also wanted to mention that Michael was extremely organized and had a few video calls with us in the year leading up to our wedding. He had a planning document for us to complete which was incredibly helpful to keep us on track with everything we needed to make decisions on related to our music and timeline.
We highly recommend Michael and can’t thank him enough!!
DJ MC Duke was the best DJ we could have ever wished for on our wedding day! Throughout our planning process he was very organized, helpful, and truly got to know us personally as a couple. Michael is very responsive and had great communication with us every step along the way. Our number one thing we were looking for for our wedding was someone who could keep our party crowd dancing, and he did not disappoint! He definitely knows how to throw a party and we had the most amazing wedding, dancing the night away with our favorite people. Even with it raining all night, his music kept everyone on the dance floor! If you are looking for a DJ for your wedding, 1000% go with DJ MC Duke!
There aren’t enough good things to say about Michael; he was the LIFE of our party and he truly made it the best day of our lives! He played everything we asked for and more, was so hilarious and attentive to our guests. He made it a point to go around from table to table when everyone was getting their food to dismiss them. He was so professional, yet we say it really feels like he was our close friend celebrating alongside us. His communication was clear, consistent and his response time was incredible!
BEST DJ EVER!!!! We can't begin to express our gratitude for Michael. From the very first phone call, Michael has been responsive, professional, kind, and just overall awesome. Finding the right DJ is such an important part of a wedding and we were so so happy with Michael. The playlists he curated - from pre-ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and most importantly - dancing - were PERFECT. I would highly highly recommend DJ MC Duke for your wedding or event!
Outstanding! Michael Duke was our DJ/MC for our wedding at McCormick Ranch Golf Club. If I could give more than five stars I would. He made our entire wedding planning and wedding day experience so easy and fun. From the beginning, he was welcoming, professional, and great energy. We knew we wanted him to be our DJ the moment we had our first meeting. He organized everything perfectly and made sure to check in with us to make sure we were on the same page at all times. He did everything to make sure our day was going to flow perfectly. Wedding day was flawless. He managed to keep our wild bunch of 220 guests in order of where to go and what was happening next according to our timeline. He also managed to get and keep everyone on the dance floor. While we discussed what genres and specific songs we wanted prior to wedding day, he was able to take our suggestions and soar! The music was exceptional. I received many compliments from our guests that “the DJ was amazing!” The music was fantastic, the vibes were rolling, and Michael Duke was so much fun. I 100% recommend him as your DJ/MC for your wedding, or for any event where a DJ is needed. I know we will be utilizing him in the future. Thank you again, Michael, for everything!
Michael was beyond amazing as both a person and a DJ. He was extremely friendly, easy to work with, and a pro at what he does! He was so helpful during the planning process and gave great music advice. He was SO much fun and kept our guests dancing all night. HIRE THIS MAN IMMEDIATELY.
I absolutely loved working with DJ MC Duke! He was recommended by our wedding venue and I'm so glad we went with him. He is so friendly and personable! The meetings we had with him leading up to our wedding helped put us at ease and he was very knowledgeable. We looked to him for advice on certain aspects of they day but he was very respectful in playing the music we really wanted to hear. Plus, he was such a good MC!! He was so fun that night and really got the party going! Having a good DJ can make or break your wedding and let me tell you, he made it! I had such a great time and you could tell all of our guests did too. I can't recommend him enough!
Michael was beyond INCREDIBLE, he was the PERFECT DJ! From beginning to end he was a consummate professional and truly understood both my husband and I’s personalities, and love of music. He has an uncanny ability to read the room and people very well, which was key in keeping the night moving and people dancing. Many of my family members were in love with the music and almost everyone in attendance was on the dance floor the whole night. I could have asked or envisioned a more perfect DJ or wedding evening! I will forever recommend DJ MC Duke for any and every event! Thank you Michael for everything the night was truly Spectacular!
Michael was absolutely amazing! By far one of the most important investments made for our wedding and it would not have been nearly as organized and fun without the professionalism that Michael brought for us. From the very beginning of the process to the the day of, we were impressed with his communication and his professionalism was on point. HIRE THIS MAN! You will not regret it!
Michael Duke was seriously the best DJ I could ever ask for. We absolutely love how he incorporated everything we enjoy and made the whole night feel very personal to us. We absolutely love music but have tastes of our own which don’t really include a lot of dancing music so he made sure to include what we like with music our guests could dance to. He is also such a nice incredible person and I can’t thank him enough for everything he did for us and to make our wedding night run so smoothly.
We had Michael DJ our wedding, and he was incredible. He was very proactive in planning and responsive to our questions and requests. He seamlessly matched the music to the mood as the night went on. Thank you, DJ MC Duke, for helping make our wedding so special!
Extremely energetic and great vibes! Our wedding guests loved the music and the dance floor was packed all night. DJ Michael was fantastic and understood exactly what we were looking for
DJ MC Duke!! We met with a few DJ's to choose the right one for us. In the end, we trusted everyone to provide the best music but Michael stood out for his organization and professionalism. Even with a planner, there are a lot of moving pieces with a wedding and having a stressless time was a big focus of ours. Michael had a timeline for us, a really organized package to fill out that considered everything for the day. He learned my parent's names (in chinese) so that they'd feel comfortable and he kept the party going all night. He was so chill but fun, it was the exact vibe we were going for. Lastly, if you are hosting an outdoors/off the grid wedding, Michael has all the right equipment to make sure there is sound where ever you go. Hire him if you want a fun and stress-free time!
We absolutely loved having Michael DJ our wedding!! We could not have asked for a better DJ! He made our night a blast! If you want someone who can keep a party on the dance floor...he is the man to do so! He does amazing work arranging music, creating smooth transition into songs and reading the room to keep it fun and enjoyable. He worked along side with all our vendors and even took time to get to know our guests. Not only is he a great DJ, he is organized and super friendly and so kind. He worked alongside with My husband and I to create the perfect playlist for all our events from pre-ceremony music all the way to our grand exit song. He even made sure to create the perfect song mash up for our special dance like first dance, parent dances and more! We appreciated all the hard work he did for our wedding. Thank you Michael!!
DJ Duke is the BESTTT DJ ever!! He gets the party going with ease and keeps everyone going all night long. He was so great to work with and made this experience so easy from many states away (I’m from Illinois and had our wedding in AZ). He had every single thing covered and thought of ideas we didn’t even think of which made us feel so comfortable that everything was handled going into our wedding. I would recommend DJ Duke to anyone who wants a perfect wedding/party. He helped make our day run so smooth and everything was absolutely perfect. Could not recommend him enough. So thankful for everything DJ Duke had done for us! He will be everything you could ask for in a DJ!
We are so thankful we found Michael to be our DJ, he was fantastic and made our wedding day incredible. All the little details made our day amazing. Communication was excellent, he was always a text away, the day of I didn’t have to worry about his set up, I got there an everything was perfect. If you’re looking for an amazing DJ choose DJ MC Duke for your event!
Michael was truly incredible! From the moment he reached out until the final dance at our wedding, Michael made us feel valued and listened to. He was super helpful in the planning process and spent a lot of time with my husband and I curating the perfect setlist for our wedding night! He also was attentive in listening to what we wanted and had great ideas to offer. Our wedding was a dream come true, and Michael's DJ skills amplified the night! We had a complicated set up due to our separate ceremony and reception locations, and Michael went above and beyond for ensuring we had music and sound in both locations. He arrived early for set up and was so fun to interact with. Our dance floor during our reception was never empty! DJ MC Duke worked with my husband and I's wide range of music to create a setlist that kept people on the dance floor, and that was our biggest goal! We had everything from country line dances, to oldies to hip hop, and Michael made it all come together! I have had multiple guests tell me that he was the best DJ and they have never been to a more fun wedding with so much dancing. DJ MC Duke was a joy to work with and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to have a DJ that will keep people on the dance floor!
Michael was the best DJ we could have asked for for our wedding day! He went above and beyond to make sure our day was organized and everything we wanted. His communication is excellent and he truly takes the time to get to know you to personalize your day and make it perfect. My one request was to keep my guests on the dance floor partying and having a good time, and he definitely delivered! I had so many compliments from guests at our wedding that absolutely loved him! I could not recommend a better DJ! Everyone book him, you will not regret!! :)
DJ MC Duke was the best vendor we had!! From our first zoom meeting to the wedding day, he was so on top of things. We completely trusted him and never once worried about things going smoothly or people dancing all night. He’s professional, organized, fun, kind, and had amazing suggestions/advice for songs when we were suffering from severe decision fatigue weeks before the wedding. Our guests were on the dance floor the whole night. He helped make our wedding absolutely perfect and the most fun night of our lives. 1000% recommend hiring DJ MC Duke!!
DJ MC Duke was incredible as our wedding DJ! He was so fun & thoughtful during the planning process and really made things easy for me! He kept the party going during the reception and everyone had so much fun! Highly recommend booking him for your event!
One of the best decisions we made for our wedding day! DJ MC Duke is professional, organized, and fun!

I loved the shoe and picture game! Thanks again for playing a mixture of our songs! You really did a great job!
We hired DJ MC Duke for our wedding in March 2023 and we were so impressed with his helpfulness and professionalism! During the planning process he was very organized and stayed in touch to help us plan and make helpful suggestions, and he was flexible and receptive to our ideas. Just days before the wedding we realized we wanted sparklers and he helped make that happen. At the wedding, he did a great job bringing the party, adding in great songs, keeping people on the dancefloor, and helping to organize and direct everybody! He even helped our photographers get a neat photo of us and he made sure we both got food from the buffet (we were both so busy talking to people we didn't even think to stop and eat!). He was also very reasonably priced! We couldn't recommend DJ MC Duke enough!
DJ MC Duke was amazing!!! Not only was he super accommodating to many last second changes, but he was able to make the whole wedding day process seamless and wonderful! We had a few meetings with him leading up to the big day and he made everything fool proof. We were pretty vague with song suggestions but that didn’t stop him from reading the crowd to a T and making the day great. He’s knowledgeable and sooooo great to work with. He even offered an option to have our officiant use a small, head mic so that he didn’t have to hold one for the whole ceremony, and that option comes with a light upgrade for the dance floor area. Y’all, just book him for your event- there’s a reason his ratings are so high all over. Thanks DJ MC Duke!!!! You Rock!
Best DJ ever!!! We had such a blast at our wedding, he kept the party going and listened to every detail we wanted. He gave great suggestions that we appreciated! Would book DJ MC Duke over and over again!
We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. From the beginning of our planning all the way through the wedding day, Michael was professional, responsive, helpful, and energetic. He made us feel so confident and we trusted him completely to create the party we wanted. I would recommend him 1,000 times over!
DJ MC Duke made our wedding day amazing!! He's truly talented and you can tell that he's passionate about music. Not only that - he's also passionate about making sure that you are enjoying your special day. He's so flexible and was wonderful at keeping the dance floor going all night. We would hire him again 1000x over.
Michael deserves more than 5 stars for how amazing he was as our wedding DJ! From the very start, he was extremely helpful and communicative. As a bride who planned my wedding while out of state and in grad school, his planning documents were amazing to ensure nothing was missed when it came to the big day playing out exactly how we imagined it to be. He did not miss a single detail! Our guests were raving about how great he was and how they all had the BEST time. We are so thankful to have had him and could not recommend him any more!!!
DJ MC Duke was great to work with. He was extremely helpful with all of the questions I had pre-wedding. His form that you fill out is so easy to use but covers everything you could think of. He is extremely organized and knowledgeable about all things wedding. Most importantly, he kept everyone on the dance floor the entire night! His personality and DJ skills are awesome to work with! He helped make my wedding the best day ever. I can’t say thank you enough.
Michael/DJ MC Duke was amazing! We initially booked Michael in the beginning of the year and he was very responsive, went over what our likes/dislikes were and followed up with us closer to the wedding. A month or two before the wedding, we went through all of the specifics and the vibe we were looking to achieve and he nailed it at the wedding! He was also responsive on time and communicated with us. After the wedding, so many of our guests complemented us on how fun the music and DJ were and that they had a great time. He is personable, outgoing, funny, everything you would want as an MC and DJ at your wedding!
I am so happy that Michael got to be my dj! He did amazing and really cared about me and my day!! People like that are so hard to come by! Thank you so much and if I ever need a dj I know just who I’m calling!!!
I can’t say enough good things about Michael! From the beginning he was so helpful and honestly just fun and makes you feel so comfortable. He is great at communicating and replies FAST! Working with him was so easy. He’s clear about everything and I really did just appreciate how he made the whole process so smooth and really catered to my wants and desires. Highly recommend to ANYONE! You will not be disappointed! 👏🏻
We had just moved to Arizona and were planning our wedding. He reached out through the Arizona Wedding Facebook page. He definitely did not disappoint! Everyone loved the music and the vibe throughout the ceremony and reception, would definitely recommend!
My husband and I absolutely loved working with Michael. Leading up to the wedding, he is totally on top of everything. He spent the time getting to know us and what we wanted for our day. On our wedding day, he kept everyone on the floor and nailed the vibe we were going for!
From start to finish this was an amazing experience! The guests loved him so much they pitched in extra for him to stay longer, no one wanted to leave the dance floor!
He was extremely professional and played all the right songs! My husband and I didn’t leave the dance floor. His guide sheet was extremely in-depth and he really got to know my husband and I’s taste in music.
I am recommending him to all my friends just in the hopes I get to experience the DJ skills all over again!
DJ MC Duke is phenomenal! The one thing I wanted the most at my wedding reception was for people to dance and he kept people dancing for hours! His communication with me and my now husband before, during, and even after the wedding was professional and consistent. His MC skills were wonderful. Many of my guests came up to me to compliment him and his song choices. He was funny and interactive with my guests. A few of them even said they thought he was one of my family members because he was so interactive and fun. Make sure you include his sparklers when you book him. He used them during our first dance as a married couple and many other "beat drop" moments during the dancing. My wedding day was perfect. So much so that I wish I could relive the day again. DJ MC Duke thank you so much!!!
Michael exceeded ALL expectations as our DJ. From the beginning, he was prompt and the easiest vendor to get in touch with. He was willing to have zoom meetings and an in person meeting leading up to the wedding. My biggest fear as a bride was that our dance floor wasn’t going to be full- well I can assure you from the time our music started until the time the wedding was over, the dance floor DID NOT stop. Michael was so helpful the day of too. 100/10 I would recommend him to anyone!! Thanks for being part of day and making it special!
Michael was amazing! Throughout the process he was so organized from the beginning. The whole ceremony and reception ran very smooth, everyone enjoyed the variety of music played! Can’t thank him enough for sharing in our special day!
He is such an awesome guy and so easy to work with! He is absolutely amazing at what he does and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ! We wouldn’t have been able to survive our wedding without him!
DJ MC Duke was amazing. We met before the wedding to make sure we clicked, we filled out a detailed form with all our songs and announcements, and met again to go over it. He showed up dressed to the nines, and was even able to sneak onto the dance floor for a song or two. He helped make our day sound just like we wanted.
We absolutely loved using DJ MC Duke for our wedding! He was incredibly communicative throughout the planning process, which we greatly appreciated, and helped our wedding day run smoothly!
Michael was literally so perfect! He had excellent communication with us leading up to our wedding to make sure we got everything we wanted as far as music goes! We had such a diverse list of music and he really hit the nail on the head. Out of all the vendors we went through, Michael definitely came out on top. Even the guests were complimenting of his services. Depending on the package you choose, his set up is fantastic! We went with the Silver package and it was really worth it. The lights and everything really added to the magical night we had. Michael is such a great guy to work with, I’ve been recommending him to friends and family ever since!
DJ MC Duke (aka Michael) is a FANTASTIC DJ. We just had my sisters wedding last weekend and I called around to 4-5 places. A couple didn't even call me back! Michael was responsive, on time, looked SHARP and talked with my sister and her now husband to confirm exactly what music she wanted to play and when. He also arranged for a wireless headset for me as I officiated the wedding! (it was my first/last/only time I hope). But then I didn't have to worry about talking into a microphone etc....and the sound quality was epic. Then he played a LOT of music they wanted and requests. Then when it started getting dark, he had wireless multi colored lighting that was AWESOME! He kept the vibe going the entire night including a wireless microphone so we could say nice things about my sister and her husband during the reception! He was a LOT cheaper than the other quotes and WAY BETTER IMO. We would highly recommend DJ MC Duke for anyone needing a DJ in Arizona. Simply top notch from start to finish!
Michael was such a great dj. He kept the party going all night! Played all the right songs and really made the whole night something to remember!
Best Wedding Host/DJ/Emcee! Kept the flow going, great music, hyped up the crowd, Mike was a valuable addition to my best friend’s wedding! 👏🏼 🎤 🎶 That was a wedding to remember, thanks Captain America! 😁
DJ MC Duke provided the perfect amount of entertainment for our corporate event! He was great to work with and we plan to utilize him for future events! He is great at communication, open to requests, and overall really easy to work with. Thanks again for a great event!
DJ Michael Duke did a phenomenal job DJing our Wedding. I knew he was the perfect fit from the moment I met him. He’s such a likable guy with a fun, charismatic personality. His organization skills were top notch. I was so impressed how he took intuitive to coordinate with venders to create a perfect timeline. He was so much fun during our reception, and we loved his play list! Our venue event coordinator was so impressed by him that she’s planning on hiring him for future events. I highly recommend DJ Duke. You will not regret it!
DJ MC Duke took our wedding to the next level from the first day we spoke to him. My husband and I got off the phone with him and immediately both agreed he was the ONLY option for our wedding. He was so professional and had so many ideas we would of never thought of! Our day wouldn’t have been near as great if we wouldn’t of hired Michael. He truly changed the whole atmosphere! Thank you so much again for everything and making our day such a dream!
Hands down the BEST DJ!!! He made everything so much fun and went above and beyond our expectations. Our wedding was absolutely perfect thanks to him!
Amazing mixing, just a prefect personality. You can always tell when a DJ comes from a performance and music background. Just an amazing up and coming rock star!
Really great experience using MC Duke! He did exactly what we expected him to do, and made the wedding run smoothly without any hiccups. His personality is great too! Really gets the crowd going.
Awesome dj to hire for your wedding. Had mine Dec 3,2021 and the wigwam resort in Litchfield park Az Micheal (dj duke) did an amazing job at my wedding. I would highly recommend him. He has all the nice equipment and wireless head sets and mics, song selections were great. I had songs but not too many were fast dance songs and he had people dancing all night with his selection. Also very flexible and will play whatever u or ur guest desire. Thanks Dj Duke 😁
