- Michael MeliceOwner | DJ | Creative DirectorWelcome to my page! My name is Mike Melice, and I am a full-time professional DJ based out of the NY Fingerlakes area. My love for music started back in high school, where I was known for making mixed CDs for all the smart kids in exchange for homework. Little did I know that this would be the start of a long and successful career as a DJ. In 2003, just after graduating from high school, I had a dream of becoming a DJ. However, with only a few dollars to my name, it seemed like an impossible task. That's when I made a daring decision to take my meager saving to the casino, with the hope of turning it into enough money to buy a pair of turntables. The odds seemed stacked against me when I initially lost most of it. But I did not give up; I was determined to make my dream a reality. That night, something extraordinary happened, and I was able to turn my last two chips into enough to buy my first set of turntables. Under the guidance of an experienced DJ friend, I started playing at college events and eventually graduated to playing at nightclubs. As my reputation grew, I started getting more and more exclusive gigs, and my career as a DJ took off. In 2015, I made the decision to transition from nightlife to being a full-time Luxury Event DJ, and since then, I have received the most prestigious awards in the industry. I have been fortunate to have inspired other DJs by speaking at national and international DJ conferences. It has been an incredible journey, and I am grateful for every opportunity that I have had. I believe that music has the power to bring people together, and I am honored to have been a part of that experience for so many years. Thank you for taking the time to visit my website, and I hope to have the opportunity to share my love for music with you soon.

If you’re looking for a DJ who knows how to create an unforgettable night and keep everyone dancing, we can’t recommend DJ Mike Melice enough!

We hired our wedding DJ with only five weeks to plan, and he absolutely killed it. We had a NYE wedding so you can imagine how you envision that kind of energy. Mike orchestrates a...
nd customizes the night so you don’t have to worry about it!
He was incredibly personable, down-to-earth, organized, and accommodating from start to finish, which made the entire process stress-free. When our ceremony plans fell through last minute, he stepped in without hesitation, came the church and made everything seamless. The music, the energy, and the professionalism were all on point. We couldn’t recommend him more — if you want someone who truly shows up and delivers, this is your guy.

Hiring DJ Mike was the best decision we made! The music was one of the most important parts of our wedding. We had a destination wedding, so we had to 100% trust the reviews of oth...
ers online, and we are so glad we found Mike. The dance floor was NEVER empty. So many of our guests have said we had the best music at any wedding they have attended! We appreciated so much that the music was actually mixed with transitions like a true DJ. It created such a fun club vibe. Beyond that, Mike had so many great add-ons that truly enhanced the party experience. We included CO2 canons, Cold Sparklers, Photobooth, Ceremony Music, and a Saxophonist. Our Saxophonist, Ryan, was incredible. Mike went to great lengths to try and find someone for us, and we really appreciated it, and our guests loved the addition of an instrument! The cherry on top of all of that is that Mike went the extra mile, helping us create a mix with audio overlay for the entrances that was so awesome and truly got the party started. Mike was professional, had great suggestions, was quick to respond, and was always happy to help! If you are looking for your DJ, stop reading and book Mike. You won't regret it.

On the day of our wedding, he kept the fun and high energy throughout the entire night and made everything flow seamlessly. He even asked us last minute if we wanted to add a live saxophone player, and I truly believe it elevated the entire vibe and made the night even more unforgettable… how cool is that?!
If you’re looking for a DJ who is professional, personable, and knows how to keep the party going, Mike is the one. We can’t recommend and thank him enough!

If I could give DJ Mike Melice 10 stars, I would! We had our wedding at the John Joseph Inn in Groton, NY, and hiring Mike was hands down one of the best decisions we made. From th...
e very beginning, he went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect—and the result was the best night of our lives.
For our ceremony, we had the most beautiful live violin music that set the tone for such a meaningful moment. We really wanted a saxophone player during the reception and had something very specific in mind. DJ Mike went out of his way to try and find that for us and bring that to life, and he DID. Colin was incredible, playing along side DJ Mike and it was better than anything I could have imagined. People could not stop raving about how amazing and unbelievable he was. Do yourself a favor and add on the saxophone and violin!!!
Mike has this incredible ability to read the crowd, keep the energy high, and make the dance floor absolutely electric all night long.
Mike was not just a DJ—he was a true professional, an artist, and a huge reason why our wedding felt so magical. He was responsive, and genuinely took an interest in us. He took our vision and amplified it and made it all come to life. Our friends and family are still raving about the music, and we’ll never forget how he created the perfect soundtrack for the best night of our lives. If you are getting married in the Finger Lakes (or anywhere at all), do yourself the biggest favor and book DJ Mike, you will not regret it!!

Every person at my wedding complimented the music and the selection that was chosen and I give all the thanks to Mike! Everyone was singing all night and did not leave the dance floor!!! You can NOT go wrong with hiring him for your special day! The social booth was a huge hit and everyone had so much fun - the night club lighting was the cherry on top!!!! We love Mike!!!! Our wedding was at the orchard in chenango bridge - the venue was perfect, the venue owners were perfect and so was this DJ!!!!

We cannot recommend DJ Mike enough! Throughout the planning process Mike was organized, sending emails frequently as we hit major timeline milestones (6 months, 3 months, 60 days e...
tc). He provided great direction and was very straightforward with his expectations. Mike was very flexible and it was a pleasure to work him with. He cared about the details, ran through information with us, our venue, our officiant and others which all went very well. We booked Mike because of his background in nightclub DJing which is how we wanted our dance floor to feel. Had our wedding day not been nearly 90 degrees all day, I think we would have had even more guests enjoying the dance floor. If you’re looking for a professional DJ, who’s organized, timely and knowledgeable with a background in mixing and getting the party started, please choose DJ Mike Melice!

If you’re looking for the best wedding DJ in NY, stop your search now: DJ Mike Melice is everything you could want and more. We got married on June 21st, 2025 at The State Room in ...
Albany and honestly threw the best party. From the very beginning, Mike was incredibly easy to work with. He answered every question we had during the planning process, was always available for a call, and his website made it simple to choose songs and customize our experience.
We asked for a classy vibe during cocktail hour and dinner, and a complete switch to nightclub energy for the reception. He absolutely delivered! The dance floor was packed the entire night, and our guests could not stop raving about him. Several even told us he was the best wedding DJ they’ve ever seen.
Mike handled every detail with care. He nailed our custom entrance songs, even the hard-to-find ones, and made perfect announcements that matched our energy. He took the time before the reception to gather our bridal party and family so everything flowed exactly as we wanted. The photo booth and club cannon were a huge hit, and every song was a banger.
Music was one of our top priorities when planning our wedding, and choosing Mike was the best decision we made. He truly made our night unforgettable and we will forever recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding DJ!

We are so grateful that we found DJ Mike Melice, and that he was available for our wedding day!!! We 100% would recommend him to everyone for their wedding! From the very beginning...
, to the very end, Mike was excellent with communication. We never worried about a thing with him because he always responded so quickly, and was so helpful. He has a very nice website set up where you can choose your music and share all of your ideas and details about your wedding with him. He has excellent suggestions of songs for different aspects of your day, and he knows exactly what questions to ask to ensure your day goes off perfecly. Honestly, I don't know how he does it! The day of our wedding was absolutely seamless, it was like he was present for every aspect of our planning - he knew exactly what to do and when to do it. He also has the BEST add ons for your event!!!! We were blown away by the choices he offers: for special effects we chose dancing on a cloud, cold sparks, uplighting, nightclub style light show, and CO2 cannon, Mike also made a logo on his DJ booth with our names on it which was a beautiful surprise to us! Every single special effect was PERFECT and elevated our reception so much! Everyone raved about how great our DJ was (and we did too!) Mike also creates his own light shows with his nightclub style light show, which is so beyond amazing! We cannot say enough great things about Mike, he is also SO kind and helpful, and his assistant that was with him was so wonderful as well!!!! She was out on the dance floor dancing with my mother in law so that she wasn't alone, and even offered her coat for an elderly guest of ours because they were cold. Honestly, Mike is the best choice for your event and we will always stand by that!

I loved surprising you with the custom logo on the booth—it was such a fun way to make your day even more personal. I’m also happy that the planning process felt smooth and stress-free for you; making sure everything runs seamlessly is always my top priority.
It was an absolute pleasure to be part of your special day, and I’ll always remember the energy and excitement on that dance floor. Wishing you both a lifetime of love and happiness!

ke the day special for us. His online portal service is comprehensive and easy to navigate, making it incredibly convenient as we were moving through the planning process. On the day of, he had the dance floor packed the entire time and our guests were very happy with him. He also worked really hard to make a big vision we had for our ceremony exit come to life!
We decided to give him 4 out of 5 stars because although the dance floor was packed - he is a VERY remix heavy DJ. Songs like American Pie and Mr. Brightside were remixed and it completely changed the vibe of the songs, to the point where people were looking at each other confused and it ruined the moment. You didn’t get more than a minute of almost any of the songs, either. He did play most of the songs on our request list, but his style and order of playing were a little odd to many of us. There was no cohesive procession to it. There were also a few things we had spoken with him about prior to the event and day of that he either missed completely or forgot about. While some of these were little things no one would have noticed, one was a rather large moment that caused the Mother of the Bride some frustration while she was a focal point of the moment. More than anything else - multiple members of the wedding party shared that they felt he was rude to them. I do not want to speak poorly of him as we did not have that exact experience, but enough of our people had made comments that we have to take them seriously.
Overall - he is a pretty solid DJ. The social booth is pretty cool but hard to fit a lot of people into. That being said - he helped us hang our own neon sign in the booth and his event assistant went above and beyond for us and our guests. There are a lot of things that went amazingly with him, but truthfully our other vendors were so spectacular that it was easy to see where he fell short. Again, the dance floor was packed basically the entire night and people were happy for the most part. He is reasonably priced for what he provides and is truly incredible during the planning process. If you like remixes, he is definitely your guy!

We could not have made a better decision when choosing DJ Mike Melice for our wedding. His service was next level and very professional. He made us feel very comfortable throughout...
the entire process.
All of his enhancements were top tier. We went with the photo booth (with his newly added flower wall) and it was outstanding. My wife and I just finished looking through all of the pictures, and Boomerangs and we were very impressed with the quality of how everything came out. We also went with uplighting, intelligent lighting/nightclub styler lighting and it was perfect. It was the night club themed wedding we wanted. We also picked the CO2 cannon and let me tell you, getting to spray this at people during a big drop in a banger song, there is just nothing like it. Absolutely outstanding.
I have been to many weddings and I have never had more fun in my entire life. His impeccable performance had our dance floor full 2 full hours of non stop bangers. Our venue had another wedding upstairs and we had some guests from that wedding popping in to share in the experience for a song or 2 after hearing what we had going on.
Our guests were so happy and we had multiple people telling us it was the best dance floor of any wedding they have ever been to. I highly recommend his services if you want to have the best night of your lives. Thank you DJ Mike Melice - I hope to see you perform again soon.

s one of the first people to check in on us and offer us other venue suggestions. He was excited throughout the entire process and was supportive when we decided on our final rooftop venue. The guests were highly impressed with several people asking for Mike's information to share with their friends. The music was incredible as well as the night club lighting and photo booth. DJ Mike made our night a night to truly remember!

A huge plus of working with Mike is all of his fun additions to make a wedding extra spectacular.

Highly recommend hiring DJ Mike for your next event!

d. He gave feed back to help us navigate and felt like I could right away trust him. After booking with him, he gave us a link through a portal he uses. This kept everything organized. It was user friendly and easily accessible.
He created different check in points to ensure everything was ready for the big day!
Everything went super smooth even though we had super last minute changes to our bridal party. He did a great job getting everyone on the dance floor and keeping an upbeat vibe.
He even checked in with us when people were making requests to make sure we were okay with it.
I would highly recommend him. He made the whole process stress free and made the actual day a whole lot of fun!

I have already received MANY compliments from our guests about the music. You made our event unforgettable and we were left with a memorable night. You really did go above and beyond our expectations, even when our mix was over you accommodated our guests special requests. We are truly grateful we chose you, you deserve all the success in your career. There are no doubts that you will continue to bring happiness to many other events. Thank you again Mike for all the effort you put into our wedding, we appreciate you.

GO BOOK MIKE MELICE! Our wedding was 8/19/23 at Shenendoah Clubhouse TS and Mike was hands down one of our best picked vendors. When it comes to weddings people remember the food a...
nd the music! And at the end of the night that’s exactly what people raved about. I had a majority of my guests come up to me while dancing and say the music/sound was the best they have ever heard. One of our guests said Mike’s transitions with songs were flawless!
Booking with Mike was an absolute dream! Weddings are stressful and he made the process so easy. Scheduled an initial consult, checked in for follow up questions, answered EVERY email in record timing (sometimes 10-11 pm at night!), his VIP portal is super easy to use and we were able to access it up until the week of the wedding. One thing that Mike said to me that stuck out was we were contemplating what uplighting to use and how to use it. He takes notes at all his wedding venues to know what works the best for future clients. I’m OCD and the fact he is so organized and actually pays attention to this much detail, was just music to my ears (literally ;))! He has the best modern technology which was a huge plus for us as well. We booked uplighting, the social booth and the cold sparklers! Let me tell you, everyone flipped out when those went on! Best choice for sure! Your pictures will look amazing with those! Lastly, he is always willing to get his past and future clients involved on what he should invest in next. Love this! Don’t wait another minute and book with Mike! You will not be disappointed. He was the highlight of our wedding!

Your kind words about my attention to detail and technology mean so much—every wedding is unique, and I’m always striving to create the best experience possible. Hearing that I was the highlight of your wedding makes all the hard work worth it. Thank you for trusting me to bring your vision to life and for recommending me so enthusiastically!

etty amazing too! It really made us feel like we could dictate as little or as much as we wanted - and we were pretty specific with our song choices for the ones that were super important to us!
You were so quick with responses and never made me feel silly for asking all of my questions! You were attentive, responsive, so knowledgeable, and allowed us to make the day what we wanted! It's almost been a full month and people still talk about how awesome you are!!
The dance floor was never empty, the Social Booth was a HUGE hit, and the monogram was amazing - and to think that was something we just added last minute to fill the spot! The up lighting was perfect - the songs, the way you melded them altogether - we couldn't have asked for more. A comment I got from almost everyone was they LOVED that you never let one song end before the other began - there was no awkward silences or times people didn't want to be out there! Thank you, for everything and really blowing our expectations out of the water. We didn't know what to expect but got more than we could have ever asked for!!
THANK YOU MIKE!!!!!!!

I’m so glad the Social Booth, uplighting, and monogram added those extra special touches—it’s always fun to see those last-minute additions make such an impact. Hearing that people are still raving about the music and transitions is the ultimate compliment; creating that seamless flow is what keeps the energy high and the party going strong.
Thank you for trusting me to help make your day unforgettable. It means so much to know I exceeded your expectations. Wishing you both a lifetime of love, laughter, and packed dance floors!

leave. The professionalism from the time of booking to our actual wedding day was more than I could have ever expected. He went above and beyond to make sure we got every request we asked for and communicated so well with us the entire time.
We weren’t even going to have a DJ originally, however I was lucky enough to book him on a cancellation (thank you to whoever cancelled because it was hands down the best choice we made for our entire wedding). I have dreamed about Mike being the DJ at my wedding for years, so to be able to book him was truly a dream come true and it completely elevated the overall experience of our wedding for us and our guests. There are no other DJ’s like him around here so if you’re questioning whether to book him or not… RUN don’t walk and book him now before someone else does! He is the best and I am so thankful to have had him as part of our day!

Let's start with the fact that as a human I am not very good at the details, so being a bride having to thi...
nk of all the things was so hard for me. With Mike I barley had to do a thing. He offers online services which is so awesome. I was able to pick songs, get ideas and make changes at any point in time. There are detailed forms and questions to fill out to tell him exactly what you want and when I had questions he was super responsive. He even helped me with a few little surprises I had for my husband and gave us the best recommendations. His enhancement options are all AMAZING it was so hard to decide but he helped me choose ones that all worked so well together. (10/10 recommend cold sparklers)
My husbands only request for our wedding was that the dance floor stay packed. Side note- we have attended 7 other weddings in addition to our own this year and not one of them had people on the dance floor all night long. I truly did not think this was a very reasonable request.
Well not only did Mike plan the entire day perfectly, but he delivered on my husbands request and our dance floor was packed ALL night long. We had 200 guests and Mike was able to keep EVERYONE, from my older aunts and uncles to the little kids, on the dance floor, fully engaged and having a good time all night. We are still so beyond impressed and think he should DJ everyones wedding.
I literally could go on and on, but I won't because you need to just book him and see for yourself.

The dance floor was packed from the moment we did our “couples dance” after dinner to when the wedding was over.

My husband and I didn’t leave the dance floor, it was exactly the atmosphere we wanted at our wedding!
