Mike was the absolute best DJ we could have asked for to make our wedding day amazing. He was incredibly friendly, collaborative and easy to work with throughout the entire plannin...

g process and made it stress-free for us. Mike is an extremely talented guitarist and played acoustic guitar during the ceremony and cocktail hour, which added an intimate and personal touch that we (and our guests) loved. He also did a great job emceeing, making sure that everything ran smoothly and on time. During the dancing after dinner, he had a perfect mix of old and new, and played music that got all of our guests on the dance floor. It was truly so special seeing all the people we love dancing and having a great time, and Mike was a massive part of that. His music taste is fantastic and he really does have a knack for feeling out the vibe of a crowd and playing just the right song for the moment. We cannot recommend him enough, thank you Mike for helping to make our special day so lovely!

Mike was FANTASTIC. He actually ended up stepping in for our original DJ on less than 1 week notice and did everything perfectly. We had him play guitar during cocktail hour and...

he killed it, provided a great atmosphere for people to get drinks and apps and catch up with people they hadn’t seen In a while. His setup for the dance was very nice, the speakers and bass sounded great. Music quality and selection was also great. He played songs for long enough for people to hear them but did a great job of switching to new songs before the end to keep people dancing for longer songs. As far as helping to guide the crowd, he did that beautifully as well. Not an excessive amount of announcements, and let the party flow, but was on top of reminders for shuttles, movements from dinner to dances, etc. Couldn’t ask for a better DJ performance, would 100% recommend Mike for any wedding or any other event.

Cannot say enough great things about DJ Mike! He did the music for both our ceremony and our reception and made planning extremely easy. His approach is stress free and helped us t...

hink through parts of our day that we didn’t even realize needed to be planned. He played all the songs we wanted and mixed in songs we didn’t realize we wanted. He pays attention to the dance floor to tell when certain songs are what people are looking for and when it is time to go to the next song. We had multiple people tell us what a great job he did and one of our friends is even using him for their wedding! If you are looking for a DJ to get people on the dance floor and keep them there, DJ Mike is the way to go!

the day as special as it was. Weddings can be a lot of stress, especially the day of, and having Mike perform acoustic and DJ throughout our ceremony and wedding put us at ease and allowed for us and all of our guests to enjoy the day/night! We would highly recommend having Mike perform any wedding or event as he is hardworking, he cares, and will always assist any other vendors/guests if needed, even if that is outside his role for the event. Thank you Mike!

e stuck to our recommendations but also picked up the vibe and added some similar songs. He was also a great MC. I have been to many weddings where the MC is disruptive and doesn’t match the vibe. Mike was not that at all, he made announcements on time and brought great energy without sacrificing the aesthetic of the wedding. I will be recommending him to all my friends that are getting married. Do not miss out on the opportunity to work with Mike!!

Mike did an amazing job at our wedding at the MN Landscape Arboretum. He played acoustic guitar for our ceremony and he absolutely nailed it -- he even learned our recessional song...

a few days before the wedding! He did a fantastic job emceeing during our cocktail hour/dinner and kept everything moving at a good pace throughout the evening. We heard nothing but positive comments about him from our guests! We really appreciated the survey that Mike had us fill out, which included many detailed questions about what types of music we wanted to hear during each portion of the evening, what songs we wanted to be played during the ceremony, who was giving speeches, etc. It gave us a lot to think about that we hadn’t initially considered! Mike referred back to our survey responses during a brief phone check-in we had with him before our wedding, which was awesome! Mike is very kind, professional, and detail-oriented, he responds to emails quickly, and is very well-versed in running a wedding reception! And, of course, he is extremely talented. We are so happy that we chose Mike as our DJ and would highly recommend him!

His communication was great, and he checked in with us several times before the big day. We can’t recommend him enough!

My husband and I are so glad we hired Mike Hongslo to play the music for our wedding in September 2023. We didn’t have the venue space for DJ-ing services, so instead, Mike played ...

acoustic guitar as we walked down the aisle. The live music was so special and beautiful. Mike is professional and responsive. He has so much performance experience. Hiring him made us feel at ease because he knows what he’s doing. If I have another event like this in the future, I will call Mike. He helped make the big day that much more special!

, we met with Mike and asked him to learn some specific songs. He learned and rehearsed the songs prior to our day and executed them perfectly! Mike showed up on time, brought all of his own equipment, and coordinated with the other vendors to ensure our ceremony ran as smoothly as possible. Despite the stress of wedding planning, working with Mike was stress-free and easy! He kept us well-assured and created the perfect musical ambiance for us to relax and enjoy our day!

Mike was everything we could ask for in a DJ and more! We were worried that with our mixed ages of guests, we would struggle finding music that everyone liked. Mike went above and ...

beyond in both his music selection and as an MC- the dance floor was never empty the entire reception, he made sure to announce everyone’s names correctly and in order, and he truly kept the party alive when other DJ’s might have just let a “dud” music song clear out the room. He also checked in with us prior to the wedding to ask about our music selection, which really gave us peace of mind. Our guests raved about him, and we would absolutely recommend him for future events! Thank you Mike!
