DJs for Lovers

Mike was an absolute pro who helped us craft our playlist, figured out what the perfect balance of cultural and fun was, and then adapted on the fly during the reception to match the 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!

Mike just DJ'd our wedding this past weekend and I am so glad he was recommended to us! He listened to all of our requests and made sure that everyone was dancing during our wedding. 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!

Michael of DJs for Lovers was an absolute joy to work with. From the moment we put an inquiry in to the actual wedding day, Michael was nothing short of absolutely amazing! His music 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!!!

We had a fantastic experience working with Michael! Having a fun dance party was really important to my fiance and me, and our expectations were completely blown away. We had so many 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!

Mike was great, but I feel like everything from our last phone meeting went ignored (approximately a week before the wedding).. During the reception he totally forgot the Mother/Son 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.

Michael was a fantastic person to work with! I'm a very Type A planner and Michael made me feel so comfortable from the start by asking detailed questions and even assisting us with 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!

Mike was absolutely awesome! He met with me multiple times prior to the ceremony and reception and he really made sure that we were on the same page about the music choices. He incorporated 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.

Mike was AMAZING! He came to the rehearsal to nail down the timing, which most DJs wont. He walked me through the timing and song choices to make sure I was getting exactly what I 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!!

Michael was a great DJ and really made the wedding planning on the music front very simple.. He was not over the top with the announcements and kept everything very professional.

My husband and I chose Michael for our wedding, and he made the experience stress free, and blended right in with our family and venue! I would highly recommend this business for any music/ DJ needs!

Mike was such a great asset to our wedding. He made sure he understood what we wanted and what we didn't. He came to the rehearsal so we could practice with the music and double-check 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.

Alex was wonderful to work with. He scheduled an informational call with me as soon as I reached out, and I got great vibes from him right off the bat. We had another call about a 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!

Where do I even start...if I could give him 10 stars I would. He exceeded our expectations of what a DJ could provide. To start, an acquaintance referred his services to us for our 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.

We were so happy with our decision to have Mike DJ our wedding! He did an amazing job throughout the whole wedding and the guests had a great time. His music choices were spot on and 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.

I was one of the Corona brides who ended up making the painful decision to just cancel the wedding, so unfortunately I never got the chance to hear what wonderful music Alex would 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!

Alex was great to work with! We had to make quite a few dramatic changes to our wedding due to COVID and Alex was so helpful while making those changes. We only had 13 guests at our 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!

Want your wedding guests on the dance floor all night? Hire Michael! We hired Michael to DJ and MC our ceremony and reception. We met with him several times to iron out details, 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.

Alex was very easy to work with and accommodating. Coordinating our playlist was mostly fine (a couple moments in the ceremony we needed to request a song skip). His presence at our wedding was very warm and down to earth.

Michael Murphy was an absolute dream to work with! He was so easy to communicate with, very professional and easygoing. When we met to discuss the timeline of our reception and what 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!

Michael was a dream! Made all my ceremony and reception music visions come to life in the most perfect way! He was professional and easy to work with! I highly, highly recommend him!!

I don’t think I can express how happy I am tat my husband and I chose DJ for Lovers as our wedding DJ. Michael Murphy was such a pleasure to work with and made the planning process 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!

Michael is SO wonderful. Let me start by saying that one of our top priorities for our wedding was an amazing DJ, as we wanted it to be a super fun celebration. I talked to three different 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!!!

If we could give Mike Murphy 100 stars we would! We met Mike at another wedding and thought that he did a marvelous job DJing their wedding, and once we got engaged he was one of the 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!!

Michael Murphy is awesome and one of the best DJs. He made our ceremony and wedding perfect and memorable. He was so professional, kind and accommodating and came to the wedding venue 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.

Holy moly!! I hired Alex to DJ our September 2018 wedding reception and I could not have been happier with the result!!! Alex has been doing this for decades and has amassed an extensive 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!!

Michael was awesome! He was very thorough in making sure he tailored to the music that we wanted. He also made it to the rehearsal night and at some point, I verbalized feeling overwhelmed, 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!

My husband and I had Michael Murphy as our DJ and we loved him! The entire proceess was seamless. He sat down with us and listened to our requests. He came to rehearsal (a huge plus) 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!

We could not have been more pleased to have Alex as the DJ for our wedding! He was professional and prompt, meeting with us before the wedding day to go over all details. He ran the show well, but didn't overdo it with cheesy commentary. He kept the room dancing all night long!

We worked with Michael Murphy for our rustic celebration outside Charlottesville. Michael was accommodating, flexible, and thoughtful throughout our communication. Everyone was dancing the whole evening!

Thanks Michael for being our DJ! He was super easy to work with - in planning, he knew when to provide some guidance and recommendations, but left us with plenty of room for us to make our own decisions. He took the initiative to make us a mix of our first dance, and also proactively came to our ceremony rehearsal just to make sure that everything would go smoothly on the day of! During the reception he knew just what to play to match the timeline and the crowd - our guests had a great time dancing the night away!

Michael was fantastic. We could not have asked for a better DJ. He covered all genres that we like and the guest raved about him. We saved his contact information for future party uses. We would recommend Michael to everyone.

The vendor was wonderful, punctual, extremely prepared, and did a great job. We were all dancing and I had an amazing time. It was nice he took over the announcements and I was very happy with his service my only hold back from giving a full 5 stars is I didn’t hear many of the songs that I gave him when making a list of songs I wanted too. I’m sure he was more so gauging the crowd though. Also he didn’t necessarily do a good job at stopping or quieting down music and getting everyone’s attention for cake cutting and the bouquet toss. I felt like no one was watching us cut the cake and only knew it was time to do it because I heard the song we picked for it playing. But don’t let these things keep you from booking him. He was very helpful and worked with us especially because we were planning the wedding from a state away. And he did a beautiful job. The day was amazing!!!

Michae did a great job at our daughter's wedding. He was personal, professional, and very patient with all of our questions. On top of that many of our friends and family told us how good the DJ was. Thanks again Michael!

Alex was the DJ that my daughter and her fiance selected for their October 2017 wedding at the Columns at Six Penny Farm in McGaheysville Va. Alex traveled from Richmond, arrived early to set up the sound system for the outside ceremony. I had guests tell me later that it was the first time they could hear the vows at an outside wedding! Then on the reception hall where Alex served as announcer and DJ for almost 6 hours. He worked on the diverse playlist with the bride and groom and was responsive to questions. Guests, young and old, stayed on the dance floor the entire time following dinner and toasts. We had a great day! He was flexible, professional and friendly to everyone. I highly recommend DJs for Lovers. Thanks Alex!

Alex did my ceremony and wedding and he was awesome! I loved how he was able to play songs for everyone to dance to. He played everything I had one list and he made the night so much fun! Thank you Alex you were awesome! Highly recommend

Alex was absolutely incredible!! So easy to work with and played amazing music! If a song wasn't a hit by the guests, he immediately changed it to bring people back to the dance floor! Our guests all commented on how awesome our DJ was too! I highly recommend Alex!!!

Alex was amazing! He did EXACTLY what we asked him to do: keep the dance partying going. He didn't try to MC the wedding, and he knew how to mix songs really well. There was never a dull moment on the dance floor, and our guests constantly tell us it was one of the best dance parties they have ever been to. We really enjoyed working with this company :)

Michael Murphy was awesome and kept the party going all night at our wedding. He was always quick to respond to every email and I was impressed with how proactive he was in helping us to plan our music for our ceremony and reception. He was punctual and arrived on time for our rehearsal dinner and ceremony. Michael could really read our crowd and seemed to always play the right song at the right time. I would recommend to anyone needing a DJ!

I cannot speak highly enough about DJ for Lovers, Michael Murphy! He is very professional, has a fantastic personality, a great knowledge of music and was a huge asset in planning and facilitating the music for my daughter's wedding ceremony and reception. The music was great, lots of energy and never a moment that guests, of all ages, were not dancing. Michael was very responsive and a great communicator. We were very impressed by the time and effort he provided to meet with us , help with a timeline, provide suggestions on music, flow, lighting etc. He and his musical services are top-notch. My daughter's MOH is using DJ for Lovers for her wedding in September!

Michael was so personable and understanding right from the beginning of what my Groom and I were wanting for our wedding day! Was always quick to respond and meet up with us when needed. He was apart of our Ceremony and Reception and couldn't be happier with choosing him as our DJ, and you won't either if you have him!! We have received so much great feedback of how great the vibe was! The party was non stop! Even guests who don't normally dance, were dancing. He really made our day just what we wanted. Can't thank him enough!! Such a great DJ and person!

Alex was the perfect DJ for our wedding. His timing was perfect for all of the planned moments. He was so easy to work with! We gave him an inspiration playlist, and he worked from that and his experience to keep the dance floor full the entire wedding. Not a single song was a dud, and our guests were asking who he was! He is also so nice and laid back. We really enjoyed getting to work with him, and he was the perfect DJ for us and for our wedding! We highly recommend him.

We were lucky enough to have Michael as our DJ. He was a professional from start to finish. He is also one of the nicest, most easy going people you will ever meet. Even though he is easy going, he is also extremely well organized. He makes sure that he has all the information he needs so you don't have to worry about a thing except enjoying the great music he plays. I would recommend him to anyone without exception. He is what you want in a DJ. He is fun, nice, professional, and classy. He will not disappoint. He goes above and beyond for his clients. If you are looking for a DJ, look no further.

DJ Michael Murphy was great at my daughter's recent wedding reception. She said he was easy to work with, flexible, responsive, and he got everything right. He helped her with the timeline and followed it exactly. He did 5 hours of music including the cocktail hour. Once the dancing began, he kept the dance floor full of guests until the conclusion of the final song. Even people who don't ordinarily dance were enjoying this night out on the floor. Everyone had a great time and there were many compliments on her DJ. I would highly recommend him.

Alex did an amazing job as the DJ for our wedding! From the first meeting, he made us feel so comfortable and confident in his work. He was very thorough and helped us build and envision our wedding day. We loved that he provided great suggestions when we were stumped for some of the music choices. We also were very appreciative of his flexibility when we had to move our wedding up one day due to the arrival of Hurricane Matthew. As a person who grew up loving music, I was so thankful to have found Alex and DJs for Lovers for our wedding day! Thank you so much!

DJ Michael was awesome and easy to work with from day one! He truly wanted to capture the music the "fit" what my husband and I were looking for at our wedding reception, and he did exactly that! He took the time to take notes and cater to what we needed at our reception, and even helped us out with our timeline. We and our guests all had a great time dancing the night away, and it is clear that Michael knows how to read a crowd. All-around awesome experience, fun music, and a great professional. Thank you so much, Michael!!

We worked with Michael for our November wedding. He was so great every time we met. He took detailed notes and always sent follow up emails. The day of the wedding he showed up early and was ready to go. He played a great variety of music. Our guest were on the dance floor all night. He was able to capture the crowds attention in a firm but nice way. We would recommend this company (especially) Michael to anyone!

Alex was a great DJ for our wedding. He met with us several times before the event, working with us on all the music we wanted and the schedule of events for the night. He arrived early, set up promptly, and everything went off without a hitch! Alex kept the dance floor packed the whole night, and when most of our guests stepped outside near the end of the night to listen to an impromptu a capella concert, he graciously stayed past the time we agreed on to play another last dance for us. We couldn’t be happier with how our wedding went!

Choosing a DJ was one of the biggest challenges for me in wedding planning! In my search to find someone reasonably priced, professional, clean cut, and easy to work with , I came across DJ's for Lovers! Mike was absolutely wonderful in the period leading up to our reception, and on the day of the reception itself. He seamlessly incorporated songs from our "Must Play" list as well as songs that fit with the mood and energy of the group. We received many compliments from guests both young and old!!! I would highly recommend Mike Murphy to any bride and groom to be!

Michael was a great DJ for our wedding. He was very responsive to our music suggestions and was able to use our preferences to build a great playlist for our reception. He was extremely personable and great to work with. Highly recommend!

Our wedding planner referred us to Alex with DJ for Lovers, and I couldn’t have been more pleased with Alex! Right from our initial meeting, I felt very comfortable with letting him run the show. We told him that at the end of the day, we wanted the dance floor full and he did a fantastic job feeling out the crowd and keeping it packed the entire night. As the bride, I was looking for a lull in the songs so I could welcome more guests, but he played song after song that kept me and the guests on the dance floor all night. I was having too much fun to step away. Our top priority for our wedding was to ensure all our guests had as much fun as possible, and Alex made that happen! I wish I had a playlist of all the songs he played so I could listen to it over & over; he was that good!

DJ Michael Murphy did a fantastic job with our wedding. He met with us twice before the wedding and answered every email we sent very quickly. Mike was really receptive to our suggestions and also knew a ton of great music suggestions when we started to run out of ideas. For the wedding itself, we couldn't have asked for better music for the ceremony, and he faded the music in and out flawlessly. Everyone had a great time dancing to his playlist all night long. The best part about Mike, though, is that he clearly cared about the wedding and wanted to be sure the night went as well as it could. He really helped make the day special for us, we couldn't recommend him more highly!

We absolutely loved working with Michael for our wedding! After meeting, we provided him with a list of artists we liked and he just ran with it! From the music during dinner to the dancing, the music was just spot on. We got so many compliments from our guests who said things like "never heard such a perfect wedding playlist" and "who picked the songs?-because that was the best!" Our goal was to have a reception that was a fun party for all our friends and family, and Michael helped us accomplish this! -melody & Drew

Mike Murphy was absolutely fabulous to work with! We had several meetings, each initiated by Mike to make sure he knew exactly what we wanted. Our playlist was perfect as it combined both our tastes and matched the theme of our wedding. Mike was very professional and always returned our emails promptly. He did a great job getting the crowd to dance and we could not have asked for a better DJ. Thank you for making our wedding magical, Mike!

DJs for Lovers was absolutely the right choice for our wedding reception. Michael was responsive and easy to work with from the start of our planning, and the rates were very reasonable (especially considering what a fantastic job he did!). He was completely dependable, and made sure that our reception flowed flawlessly. He had a solid understanding of the style of music we wanted, and the dance floor was full all night long. Not only was the music awesome, but he was so friendly and personable that guests were giving us compliments throughout the night. I would recommend DJs for Lovers without a single reservation!
