DJs for Lovers

nd other events. Thanks Mike, you rock!

tra mile and MC'd during dinner and speeches-- the little things that made our night so much easier and fun. Overall just a great guy and easy to work with. I highly recommend working with him whether it be a wedding or any other event. I truly appreciate it Mike.

and a diverse, engaging set of songs to dance to. Our wedding was Nigerian-American and Michael DJ’ed and MC’ed effortlessly through it all! Even with the limited time we had, he somehow fit in all the dances we needed and had everyone, young and older, on the dance floor. He’s incredibly friendly, very communicative, and super flexible. For example, we had a last minute change to our list of bridesmaids and he quickly updated his script to reflect the new names in our bridal party. We’re deeply grateful for his attention to detail (down to the accurate pronunciation of words in Igbo) and his creativity. We would pick Michael over and over again and hope you do too!

nd maneuvered songs to match and create the vibe. This wedding stood out in large part because of DJ Michael's artistry. He had an incredible ability to engage and hype the crowd. He was responsive to feedback. And most importantly, it looked like he actually enjoyed being there. If you don't use him for your services, I can assure you that you are missing out. Life is too short to waste time settling for average. Choose better than average. Choose DJ Michael. 

c to the seamless set up and take down day of event everything was perfect! Michael was personable, easy to work with and an absolute blast to have as part of our wedding-he kept the dance floor packed the whole event and the microphones and sound system were crystal clear during the ceremony even with it being outside. Could not recommend more!

end him to anyone looking for a memorable night!

tagious passion for DJing. Throughout the entire planning process, he was communicative and helpful with preparing for our day. The day of, our ceremony and reception were in two different locations, Michael was able to provide a set up for sound at both locations. At the ceremony, he did an amazing job emceeing and helped make the night go as smoothly as possible. The dance party after dinner was a massive hit with music that was loved by all ages. We highly recommend Michael if you value having someone invested in making sure your day is as special as you do!

emcee—keeping the evening on schedule, making announcements at just the right times, and even letting guests know when the wedding shuttle was about to depart (a detail we really appreciated!). He was also wonderfully patient with us in the weeks leading up to the big day, giving us the space we needed to finalize our song list amidst the chaos of wedding planning. When the day came, he executed every pre-selected song choice flawlessly, and where we left things more open-ended (like for cocktail hour), he absolutely nailed the vibe. Michael came fully prepared with wireless mics for the ceremony, uplighting, and all necessary equipment, and he arrived early to get everything set up seamlessly. He was extremely professional, and his attention to detail was unmatched—especially when it came to honoring our “do not play” list. He even double-checked with us about songs that were similar in tone or style to be sure they aligned with our preferences. We’re so happy we chose Michael. He went above and beyond, and we can’t recommend him and DJs for Lovers enough!

so we wanted to use a lot of video game music for various things with our ceremony and reception. Michael was genuinely enthusiastic about the idea and put together a great nerdy prelude playlist to go with the specific songs we’d chosen for the processionals. The music he played for dancing at the reception was also exactly what we were thinking of, and we had a fantastic time dancing and singing along with our friends. Michael was so helpful and easy to work with through the whole process, and he even came to our rehearsal so we could practice with music, which I’d never heard of a DJ doing before. Music can help make or break a ceremony and especially a reception, so we’re so happy we picked Michael for that!

very important to me and I am so pleased with how well Michael executed it. He made sure to include the songs/artists that we wanted to hear, but also added some more mainstream music to please the crowd. All of our guests have gone on and on about how perfect the music was - the majority of the attendees were on the dance floor the entire night! On top of that, my dad is a former DJ and Michael was kind enough to let him DJ a few of the songs during the night, which was so fun and my dad was so excited about it. We are so thankful to have met Michael and anyone would be so lucky to have him as their DJ! Thank you, Michael!! :)

one conferences. He went above and beyond making sure we had the right playlist put together from the reception to the ceremony and everything in between! Even the more obscure songs we requested (bagpipe metal covers) he had ready to go for our big day. He even had all of the audio equipment needed for our ceremony, we wanted a cordless set up for the pictures and he had everything set up right on time! I wish all of my vendors were as easy to work with as Michael and I can’t recommend his services enough!

l reception, there were no complaints and the music and energy flowed organically but still within our guidelines. They also have excellent equipment we were able to use for our ceremony and to make announcements at an outside cocktail hour.

te great playlists. He took care of all the music for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our big day!

we were doing okay which just absolutely put us at ease. You can tell he loves what he does and just brought such a fantastic energy to our evening. I would not hesitate to have him as a DJ for any event you are planning. Thank you so much to Michael!

he audience's energy. We didn't stop dancing the entire night thanks to him and he even came to our rehearsal to do a sound check. Would absolutely recommend him to do your weddings!

g. We were especially happy that he attended our rehearsal to make sure that the music would work for our ceremony! We would highly recommend Mike to DJ your event!

ic expertise really helped to create our perfect wedding playlist, from sending suggestions and playlists alike, and everything came together beautifully. We cannot thank him enough for everything he did to help during the planning process, and for making the wedding day so special. Our wedding day wouldn’t have been the same without Michael, and we are so lucky to have had the chance to work with him!!!

ny compliments from our guests on the music and emceeing, and it was clear from the number of guests on the dance floor that everyone had an amazing time! Michael was with us each step of the way to help guide decisions when we needed help, or to just roll with our vision when we were clear on what we wanted. He was responsive, professional, executed on our plan exactly as requested, and had a really positive, supportive energy. We have zero complaints and would definitely recommend using Michael!

n dance with my husband and his mom. He played the wrong version of our first dance (we had come up with choreography for the correct version so we were dancing a little awkwardly for a minute before just rolling with it), and then forgot to play one song my husband had specifically requested for the reception. My last "gripe" would be Mike's demeanor when we were doing the line up. During the last phone meeting we told him that the Best Man is dating one of the bridesmaids and that it would be nice if they were welcomed together rather than having him walk in with the Maid Of Honor. When we reminded him of this the day of, his reply seemed rather irritated as he said "look, I know this is your day, but could we just do it like this?" We were taken back a bit, but just rolled with it. All around our guests did seem to really enjoy the ceremony and reception, it was just a bit disappointing having little details (especially the Mother/Son dance that I know would have meant a lot to my mother in law) totally ignored.

h our timeline in emails and check ins well before the wedding. He went above and beyond as a DJ, with great suggestions for timing and assistance the day of keeping everything on track. He even helped announce our grand entrance even though it was technically before his contract time started. We love rock and 80s power ballads - which are not always the most mainstream - but Michael did an amazing job of balancing our favorites with popular hits that kept everyone dancing all night. We got so many comments that the music was great, and I can't thank Michael enough and I highly recommend him for any event!

orporated our music styles and made it flow seamlessly. He kept people engaged with dancing and helped everyone relax and have fun. I would absolutely hire him again for future events.

wanted from his services. He was very friendly and had a go with the flow personality, which was perfect for all of our last minute changes. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without him!!

ny music/ DJ needs!

eck the start times for the ceremony music. He had people on the dance floor within the first few songs at the reception. He made the night a blast and coordinated with our photographers to keep everything on track. 10/10 would recommend.

month before my event where we went through all of my song selections, timeline and a few special requests I had for him. He was super accommodating - even when he learned he’d need to completely move his set up between the ceremony and the reception. Without missing a beat, he said he could do it and offered to bring on his business partner, Michael, to help him for the first part of the evening so the move would be quick. Alex and Michael arrived right on time, got set up quickly, hit their song cues perfectly during the ceremony and then got re-set up before anyone even noticed there was a break in the music. It was clear that they are both true professionals. After the ceremony, Alex transitioned seamlessly into the role of emcee for our entrance, dances, cake cutting and toasts, and then back to DJ to get the dance floor going after the formalities wrapped. Alex had a great read on our guests’ energy and played a great mix of music to appeal to every age group in the crowd. I’m pretty sure every single guest was on the dance floor at some point the night - even my 91-year-old grandmother couldn’t resist dancing to Sweet Caroline. Throw some Lizzo and Britney Spears into the mix and we had ourselves a party! Alex is really fantastic at what he does, not to mention very fairly priced. I’d highly recommend his services to any couple!

family reunion. We had never hosted an event of this size and we were anxious, to say the least. Upon our first conversation, he was excited, flexible to our requests, and also was very easy to work with leading up to the event. Michael absolutely KILLED IT!!! His playlist was perfect and he was cool as a cucumber when a beloved, tipsy family member took over the mic. His song choices were perfect and he even joined us on the dance floor! The bottom line is you will not be disappointed and we will use him for our future Richmond events.

nd included a variety of music that everyone enjoyed. In the weeks leading up to our wedding, Mike was so helpful and really helped us figure out what we wanted at our wedding.

have picked for us, but I'm here to sing the praises of him just being a great person. He was wonderful to work with through the entire booking process, was patient with us when we decided to rebook the wedding to a new date, and then was so heartfelt and supportive when we ultimately decided to cancel the wedding. He is absolutely the kind of person you want on your side for your big day!

r wedding but he kept the energy up the whole time, all of our guests kept saying how much they loved the music at the ceremony and reception! If you are looking for a DJ for your wedding I highly recommend Alex and DJs For Lovers!

and he had suggestions for us when we weren’t sure. He took detailed notes. Everything went perfectly on our wedding day! He perfectly timed the music for our ceremony, and mic’ed the officiant and readers. The reception was the absolute best. Our dance floor was packed from beginning to end! He kept the night flowing by MCing and working closely with the day of coordinator. I can not recommend Michael enough! He is fun, professional, great at what he does, and is reasonably priced.

r wedding was very warm and down to earth.

t kinds of music we like, I knew we were in great hands. He took a full page of notes on our musical likes and dislikes. During the reception, he did an amazing job sticking to the timeline, making announcements, and keeping everything running smoothly. I truly appreciated his calm demeanor! The music he played was fantastic, and he kept people on the dance floor. He did a great job of reading the crowd and playing songs that we enjoyed! We had numerous guests tell us what an awesome job he did. Beyond being great at his job, Michael is truly just a nice guy! We highly recommend him!

him!!

a breeze. He came to venue meetings and he really listened to what we wanted. The ceremony music was well timed and everything was very smooth. Our wedding reception was an absolute blast! Mike made sure he played our preferences while also reading the crowd. It was because of him the party went all the way to last call! I would highly recommend him to anyone having a wedding in the Richmond area!

ifferent DJs during my search and was pretty nervous at first about picking a DJ because I wanted them to be the best. After speaking to Michael, it was evident he was the best choice. He is professional, kind, responsive, & accommodating (I got all of this from the first call). While getting closer to the wedding date, he was excellent with communication. For the day of our wedding, I had very high expectations for a DJ, but believe me when I say DJ Michael truly exceeded them all!! My dance floor was packed the whole time!! He knows how to read the crowd and picked wonderful tunes, especially playing what we requested him to play and he didn’t play the songs we had asked him not to. Honestly, I have had so many people telling me how wonderful & fun my DJ was!! I feel truly grateful to have been able to work with him.. what a pleasure! He is a real gem in the DJ industry & I will always recommend him to friends/ family getting married. Thank you so much, Michael!!!

he first vendors we booked. Mike worked closely with us from day one, making sure everything that we wanted happened on his end. He literally did everything perfectly, exceeded our expectations and more. Our wedding date was also his birthday, and he was so happy to work on his birthday. Our friends and family couldn't stop raving about how good of a job he did DJing our wedding, and now they all wish they had a dj that good at their own weddings. My husband and I really enjoyed working with him. If you're looking for someone who will respond back quickly to you, who's affordable, play all of your requested songs, meet up with you at your convenience, and exceed all of your expectations, then you need to book Mike RIGHT NOW before someone else does!! We can't thank him enough for doing a perfect job at our wedding!!

enue ahead of time to get a feel for the space as well as our rehearsal to ensure all went flawless, IT DID! He gave spot on music recommendations for ceremony and kept everyone on the dancefloor all night long as his music and energy are incredible. No matter what your special occasion is, Michael is your man, hands down and he will make your event perfect. All our family and friends loved him and he even made my groom a plate of food so he would sit and eat. Top Notch guy and we cannot thank him enough. I would highly recommend and will use Michael in the future for any special event need, no question and so should you.

ensive knowledge of music, wedding receptions, and exactly how to incorporate the two! Also, he is extremely personable and just an all around cool guy. Leading up to the big day, he made time for two in-person meetings to introduce himself and talk through details. He knows just what to play for every moment - from cocktail hour to dinner to dance party! And it was always clear that he wanted to do/play whatever would make the bride and groom happiest!! His pricing is VERY fair considering his talent and experience level. If you want your guests to have fun, then you will not regret going with DJs for Lovers!!

rwhelmed, and Michael reassured me that everything would work out. He did a great job considering we had many ceremonies from our culture, and every time I glanced at him, he was focused on us and the mood of the party. He is an extremely professional DJ and our guests at so much fun! Thank you so much for making our wedding day so memorable!

s) and was on point! the day of the wedding was perfect. He played a huge role in our ceremony and reception. And he always kept it professional. my husband & I say that through the whole process we was our favorite vendor. I highly recommend him!

e show well, but didn't overdo it with cheesy commentary. He kept the room dancing all night long!
