Dancing at our wedding went for 3.5 hours without a single lull. We provided him a 90 minute playlist and he filled in the rest of the time. Highly recommend!

Review for DJ Michael
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)
We had the pleasure of hiring DJ Michael for our wedding on 08/24/2024, and he was absolutely amazing! From start to finish, the entire e...
xperience was seamless and fun. Here’s why we highly recommend him:
1. Pre-Wedding Consultation: We were able to have a detailed discussion before the big day, where DJ Michael really took the time to understand our music preferences and the vibe we wanted for the wedding. He was incredibly organized and open to all our ideas.
2. Music Selection: On the day, he nailed it with the playlist! He played a great mix of songs that got everyone dancing, from classic hits to modern favorites. We also loved how he blended different genres to suit everyone’s taste, from our younger guests to the older ones.
3. Professionalism: DJ Michael was very professional throughout the whole day. He arrived on time, set up without causing any disruption, and was respectful of our timeline. He even handled all the announcements, making sure everything flowed smoothly.
4. Energy & Atmosphere: He brought such great energy to the reception! The dance floor was packed all night long. He really knew how to read the crowd and keep the energy high, making the evening unforgettable.
5. Sound & Lighting: The sound quality was perfect — no issues with volume or feedback. The lighting setup really elevated the entire reception, giving it a glamorous and festive atmosphere.
Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. If you’re looking for someone who will make your wedding day special, create an amazing party atmosphere, and ensure the music flows seamlessly, look no further than DJ Michael. We received so many compliments on the music and how fun the reception was, and we know that’s thanks to him. Highly recommend!

Michael was our DJ this past weekend for our Wedding, and there wasn’t a moment the dance floor wasn’t packed from the moment it opened. We had a very wide range in ages and he man...
aged to have everyone raving about the music selection. He did an awesome job with announcements and the quality of sound for our outdoor ceremony was perfect! We had complete faith and Michael from the start, and really makes it so there’s no real lift on your end, which if you’re in the wedding planning process is a huge win. Don’t hesitate to book him, he’ll be my top recommendation for anyone who asks!
Michael did a great job at our unique wedding which was at a bowling alley. His music selection had our oldest and youngest guests having a great time on the dance floor.
Michael was professional, responsive, flexible, affordable and high quality all around as we are recommending him to future friends and family who need a DJ!
Everyone was dancing...
once the dance floor was cleared after eating and it was never empty! All the guests raved about how good the music was and they loved every song Michael played. He stuck to our must and no play songs which was amazing to know he took so much of his time to prep everything that we suggested and the first dance songs went well with perfect fades!
Not only did Michael provide great dance music but he also did everything for our ceremony and cocktail hour from having music to fit each ambiance. Our friend giving the ceremony wore a lapel microphone and Michael also had a stand up microphone for my mom's speech during the ceremony. He went above and beyond to exceed our expectations and was flexible as our venue ended up allowing us to stay later than expected so he was very flexible to also stay later at an affordable price.
Michael was a great DJ for our multiple part wedding between the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception barn at the Whitney's Inn being 3 different floors! We highly recommend Michael for anyone looking for a DJ!

l vision. We gave very little direction outside of of some of our favorite bands and styles, and this was a great choice- Michael made fantastic choices that kept the party going, the dancing happening, and the crowd happy- we got SO much praise for our DJ choice. Thank you so much, Michael!
Ben and I are so glad that we crossed paths with DJ Michael. We hired him for an out of town wedding and he traveled far to get there. He showed up a day early for a site visit, an...
d we were impressed with his thoroughness and his attitude.
DJ Michael was so easy to work with! We filled out a custom worksheet with our playlist preferences and he stayed true to our preferences. Our music was amazing and it was high energy on the dance floor!
We would 100% recommend DJ Michael for anyone who's considering working with him. If we ever have the opportunity to work with him again for any other event we would!
Michael did an amazing job for my wedding on 10/21/23! He had everyone up and dancing for 4 hours! He had to set up in multiple locations for the ceremony, cocktail hour and the re...
ception and he did it perfectly. He communicated great with us and our venue to make the day go so smoothly. I had so many guests coming up to me telling me how great he was and they were not wrong! Michael is a must book for your wedding if you want to have an amazing time! I would absolutely hire him again if I need a DJ! Seriously, best around.
We had Michael for our wedding in September 2023 and he was absolutely amazing. From the beginning, Michael was great with communication and his “wedding planner” made it super eas...
y to plan exactly what we wanted from the ceremony through dancing. Michael played everything as requested and more! Our guests were on the dance floor all night and had the best night! Michael’s DJ experience and knowledge was apparent throughout the entire day. We are so happy Michael was part of our day, and would highly recommend him!
Michael was the perfect DJ for our wedding! He is so easy to work with. He sends out a sheet with all the details needed to make the wedding go smoothly. And if you don't want to m...
ake all the music decisions he will pick some great stuff for you! We got so many compliments about the music he picked to play during the cocktail hour and the dinner. Everyone danced the whole time it was so much fun! He knows how to read the room and keep the party going. I highly recommend Michael for your wedding!
It can be very difficult to pick a wedding DJ, so use this as your sign to pick Michael! We picked Michael because he did a great job at my brother’s wedding, and he went 2 for 2! ...
Our wedding was amazing. All we wanted was to dance all night and Michael provided that! He had a great mix of songs that kept all generations dancing. I can’t tell you how many complements we got after the wedding of how great of a DJ Michael was! The planning process was easily and straight forward from day 1. He made our wedding, and I wouldn’t look any farther in your DJ search!
Dj Michael is the best DJ we have every encountered. He was the DJ for my brothers wedding and danced the entire night so we knew we wanted him for ours. If you want everyone danci...
ng the entire night-hire him!! Michael was so easy to work with. We were very indecisive with selecting some of our songs and he provided suggestions. We only requested 4 songs for the dancing portion of the wedding and let him pick the rest. We had so many people tell us that the dancing playlist was perfect and that is because Michael is so talented and picked songs that kept everyone on the dance floor. Even the kitchen staff came out and were dancing during the night! The wedding planners also commented on how the music was perfect, everyone was dancing the entire night, and very few people were seated during the dancing. Again, that is all because of Michael. Hire him if you want to have fun and dance the entire night!!
If you are looking for a DJ and want to ensure that you have the best dance party possible, look no further than DJ Michael. It's not easy to keep a dance floor engaged for ours bu...
t Michael made it seem like no problem at all. He has a great music planner to use to help guide you in choosing music. We picked certain songs for the ceremony and our first dance and then pretty much left the rest of the night up to Michael and he did a fantastic job. He had a great variety of music that got every person in the room on the dance floor. Seriously, choose Michael- you won't regret it!
Michael was a great wedding DJ! All of the songs he played were a hit, he was easy to work with and very reliable and communicative. Affordable price for a wedding DJ too! Would re...

DJ Michael for your wedding!!
We STRONGLY recommend booking Michael!! He was intimately familiar with our venue (he's worked at most if not all of the Boston venues!), had great recommendations for where we sho...
uld stage, set up, etc. His extremely comprehensive planning guide helped us anticipate many little nuances of the day such that everything went off perfectly and without a hitch on the real occasion. He has an impressively broad musical repertoire, creatively fades between songs so the party never stops, but is also CONSTANTLY attentive and watching the vibe -- when guests are talking, he turns the volume down a little, then when everyone is back on the dancefloor he pumps the amp and the lights accordingly.
Wow - DJ Michael absolutely BROUGHT the party!! He packed the dance floor from the very first song through the end of the night, with no lulls whatsoever. Our guests are still talk...
ing about how awesome he was, and have even asked for his information! From the very first time we spoke with Michael, he listened and understood our vision and worked alongside us to craft the perfect vibe for our day. He met with us for a drink and got to know us, which I can honestly say made our whole experience because he knew exactly how to execute on what we planned together. He had an awesome presence the day of, keeping the vibe up and lively through cocktail hour, speeches, dinner & dancing. He knows exactly the right amount of talking to get the crowd going and letting the music lead - which is truly hard to find! He even gave us a CD of the top hits of our playlist as a memento, which we loved. He is an incredible partner, and truly a joy to work with. I can’t recommend him enough!!
Michael absolutely killed it! I was super stressed planning my Maine wedding while living in California and he was beyond easy to communicate with. I am a sucker for music but was ...
completely blanking on how to translate my musical taste into a fun and dancing atmosphere. Michael used the songs I selected and went off that to create the vibe we wanted but also with songs that brought everyone to the dance floor. I was especially happy with him helping me make my father/daughter dance special and mashing up a few of my dads and I's favorite songs. I got so many compliments on the music and our dance. It was a once in a lifetime event and I wouldn't have changed a single thing about hiring Michael. He is talented, easy going and extremely helpful. Thank you so much Michael!
DJ Michael did such a great job at our wedding! He was very kind and easy to work with. We had a wide range of music taste, from oldies rock to modern pop and rap. DJ Michael fit e...
verything in seamlessly and he gave us a CD copy of our playlist. He gave great suggestions and kept the dance floor active the whole night. Highly recommend!
Michael is great! He is professional, organized, and keeps the party going. My wife and I originally hired Michael for a wedding that was rescheduled due to the pandemic. When we p...
icked a new wedding date, Michael was incredibly patient and helpful. He made things very easy. I highly recommend having him as the DJ!
If your contemplating booking DJ Michael, just do it. Previously, I had been to two weddings where Michael was the DJ and remembered the dance floors being epic. Because of that, H...
e was the first and only DJ we looked into, and the best vendor decision we made the entire process. After two years of the pandemic all we wanted was a party for our guests and Michael definitely accomplished that. Family and friends are still telling us that he was one of the best wedding DJ's they've ever experienced and we could not agree more. We will definitely be recommending him any chance we get!
My husband and I have known Mike for a while as our trivia host, so when it came time to hire our wedding DJ, we knew exactly who to reach out to first. He helped the evening flow ...
smoothly and worked with me to make sure the different events of the night, like the parent dances and cake cutting, happened at the perfect times so no one was bored, without any of the "cheesiness" that sometimes comes along with a wedding MC. Just total professionalism and fun the whole night. And when it came time for dancing, Mike had the ENTIRE WEDDING on the dance floor until the very last song. Like, people were literally asking for our wedding playlist. If you need a DJ, Mike is 100% your guy and we can't wait to party with him again.
DJ Mike was amazing!! I could not be more grateful to have him to share in the day. The most important thing I wanted for the wedding reception was for people to have fun on the da...
nce floor, and Mike accomplished this! People were out of their seats before dinner was even served! I did not stop hearing all night from family and friends how they had never been to a wedding with so much dancing and that was just what I loved to hear. Thank you so much Mike and would 100% recommend!
DJ Michael was PHENOMENAL! We had seen him DJ at our friend's wedding in 2015 and he was our #1 choice for our wedding in 2022. Michael was extremely communicative and helpful alon...
g the way. He made our 5 year old niece VERY happy, she never left the dance floor. Michael managed to incorporate songs and bands that we love and felt personal to us, while also catering to guests to make sure everyone felt comfortable on during cocktail hour and on the dance floor. We are endlessly grateful for the time and detail that DJ Michael put into our day. Hire him in a heartbeat!
DJ Michael was so accommodating with our last minute requests, and was really in tune with our guests and what they might enjoy. He even played a song during dinner that was mentio...
ned in a toast! We had so much fun dancing all night, and love how thoughtful he was in his song selections. He also gave us a copy of our music on CD at the end of the night, which is so special. We are so happy we found DJ Michael!
DJ Michael was so wonderful to work with! We gave him a list of songs we would love to hear, then left the rest up to him to create the right vibe. He absolutely nailed it! It was ...
such a wonderful experience & I'm so grateful we had him for our wedding day. 100% would recommend to anyone!
Michael was great. Easy to work with. Really listened to our requests. We had the best dance party at our wedding. Definitely recommend him.
He was very helpful prior to the wedding and listened to us and did what we wanted. But when the wedding came he was out of the way. I hardly didn’t even notice that he was there. ...
He did a great job at keeping things moving when he needed to and playing music that everyone loved! That you so much for making it an amazing day!!
I can't say enough amazing things about DJ Michael. Not only was he amazing to work with, he had our whole crew dancing the whole night. Our friends and family are still talking ab...
out how they've never danced so much at a wedding! DJ Michael - thank you for making our night one that we'll never forget!!
We spoke with Michael a few times prior to our event and talked through different ideas and songs we had on our must-play list.
He immediately put me at ease with his combination ...
of experience and passion for the job during one of our phone calls about desired playlists. We knew he had a wealthy library of fun, deep cuts but would be happy to play generic 80's pop all night if he needed to.
Our wedding included timed walk-ins with different music for each party pairing, as well as several requests for mixes from certain artists and a mix of our parents' wedding songs. Each of these items was important to us, and critical that we got right, and Michael didn't disappoint. He directed our party outside the venue to make sure we entered correctly, and made sure we stuck to the schedule accordingly.
Michael did an awesome job of keeping the audience involved and MC'ing the various stages of our event as they progressed.
He also made us CD mixes that included our full playlist of tracks, and was gracious enough to make new copies even after our mother-son dance song changed.
I wasn't confident members of my family would be enthusiastic about dancing, but Michael's welcoming atmosphere and fantastic selections helped tremendously. You should've seen my Auntie Rosie.
We truly can't recommend Michael enough! Please don't hesitate to get in touch for any additional info.
100% would recommend working with Michael! From planning to execution everything went incredibly smooth & Michael was super flexible to help curate the perfect audio experience! ...
10/10 an expert at his craft!
DJ Michael was great at our 65 ppl wedding. We was very flexible with us ahead of the wedding during the planning stage. Our reception and dancing was outdoors, when we got hit by ...
torrential rain! But DJ Michael kept the party going by moving under the awning and everyone danced in the rain. He also provided uplighting which made the place POP!
DJ Michael had all my guests on the dance floor from start to very end of the night! I can't recommend him enough. He listened to us every step of the way and took time out of his ...
day during our planning process to meet with us and hear our concerns. Music was a huge deal for me, but I really didn't have to give Michael much guidance at all for him to really understand what we, and our guests , would ultimately all love! He was an excellent MC, did seamless transitions, had great equipment and just made our night incredible.
Highly recommend. We hired Mike to DJ the outdoor ceremony and reception at our wedding. From start to finish his planning and professionalism (and skill in getting everyone on t...
he dance floor!) made him a dream to work with. Mike was organized and knowledgable about planning the day, and he provided a detailed Q&A that served as our outline for the entire wedding. He worked to ensure that every detail of the music - from pre-ceremony songs through cocktail hour and reception - struck the right mood we were hoping to create. Mike also served as the MC for the evening, helping us with transitioning from speeches, to first dance to dance party. By the end of the night Mike had everyone on the dance floor and the pictures from our reception really showcase the fun and enthusiasm Mike cultivated on the dance floor. He also gifted us with a CD copy of the reception playlist. We couldn’t have been happier or more grateful for having Mike DJ our wedding.
My husband and I hired Michael O'Neill to be our DJ at our wedding, and we could not have been happier! He was nothing but helpful in the planning process and followed through on e...
very detail we had talked about for the day of. We've gotten so many compliments after the fact from our guests saying how much fun they had and how much they enjoyed the music. DJ Michael helped make our wedding the perfect day that it was.
Book DJ Michael. If I could give six out of five stars, I would.
Michael was recommended by our photographer. I did a little more research and found great reviews. We emailed and ...
met in person.
Michael was absolutely the best. He made our night so special. He is organized, thoughtful and a true professional. Everything went smoothly with introductions and first dances. When the night turned into just dancing Michael’s skills were on full display. We gave him some of our song preferences ahead of time and he nailed it. He played so many great songs and a good mix for our crowd. It exceeded all expectations.
DJ Michael ONeill is amazing. He really contributed to an incredibly fun wedding reception. He was completely easy to work with, responding to emails really quickly, and walking u...
s through the process of picking music for the ceremony (which he coordinated) as well as the events of the entire reception. The groom's family, from Brazil, had specific requests for Brazilian music during the reception, and Michael was able to accommodate them and everyone was happy! If you choose Michael as DJ, you can be sure that he will diligently prepare the type of music you like, make great suggestions, and generally get the party started and keep it going!
DJ Mike is the best. He had our dance floor packed during our entire wedding two weeks ago, and people couldn't stop raving about how fun the wedding was. Mike is also really easy ...
to work with. In addition to meeting with my fiance and I before the wedding to go over all the music, he also answered multiple follow-up emails quickly. I feel like he listens to what you want but also uses his expertise to make sure your party is fun and that everyone has a good time. The music transitions during the ceremony were seamless as well. Mike even makes a CD for you with all of your wedding songs as a memento of the night, which is such a nice added touch. Highly recommend!
We had Michael as our DJ during our wedding. During the planning process, he was very easy to talk to and responsive to e-mails and phone calls. We have some eclectic music tastes ...
and had a list of songs that we wanted to be played. Michael immediately picked up on the styles of music that we liked and he made a playlist that really suited our tastes, but also kept the party going so that all of our guests were having fun! We also enjoyed getting a CD of our wedding songs at the end of the night. We really enjoyed working with DJ Michael and would recommend him!
Great DJ. I contracted with DJ Michael for my daughters wedding in Rehoboth. The equipment, music selection, personality, promptness and production were top notch.
MCO Productions was the best decision we made for our wedding! My husband and I were anxious to find a great DJ since the dancing and music was one of the most important things whe...
n planning our wedding (we like to party!). Michael was EXCELLENT! He knew exactly what to play and when and our dance floor was packed all night! The ceremony music was perfectly timed, and the mics were the perfect volume, adjusted when needed. I highly highly recommend MCO productions for all kinds of parties! Thank you Michael!
Would DEFINITELY RECOMMEND Michael for your wedding. He is easy going and flexible, but very professional and skilled. I had everyone of all ages tell me how wonderful the music wa...
s. Older generations told me that they had to rest for days afterward! He is very knowledgeable about music and did a really great job accommodating our requests. He was a blast!
Michael was a blast to work with, from start to finish. As soon as we met him, my husband and I knew we needed to look no further! He really listened to us, and I could tell he had...
a good understanding of exactly what we wanted for our wedding. Michael did the music for the whole shebang: ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception! He played everything we wanted and did a great job of mixing in fun songs of his choosing. Michael has this very calming presence, and I just knew he had a good handle on things. The day of our wedding, it poured rain and they had to move everything inside. Michael was totally prepared for this less than ideal situation. Our guests danced all night! Other pluses: The added uplighting he did was a great touch; he gave us a CD of our songs; he even sent a short video he shot on his phone of some of the dancing. You cannot go wrong with Michael so definitely book him if you have the opportunity!
Michael was the DJ at our wedding last weekend in Haverhill, MA and my husband and I could not have been more pleased. We were VERY picky about our playlist and asked Michael to pl...
ay ~100 handpicked songs, mixing in others he recommended that were similar. Michael took the time to find and download every single one, yes...every. single. one. He totally blew us away with his dedication. He also made it a point to meet with us beforehand to go over how we wanted things to flow throughout the evening and to make sure he got all of the name pronunciations correct. What's more is that he showed up early, charged an extremely fair rate for his services AND (cherry on top!) he gave us CDs post-wedding of all of the songs he played. He's literally such a rockstar and I'm so glad we found him. If we ever have another event where we need a DJ, he'd be the first one I call. You will not be disappointed - he's the best of the best. Thank for making our day amazing, Michael!!!
