We had the absolute best experience working with DJ/MC Michael Duke for our wedding! He was fun, easy to work with, and very thorough with his job! He uses an app that has a detail...
ed timeline for the wedding day and had questions on there of things I didn't even think of! After booking with him, Michael would check in with us throughout the process and was always quick to answer any questions we had.
We also attended one of the monthly game nights he hosts, which was fun. We got to know Michael better, along with other couples, while enjoying some good food.
On our wedding day, he did an amazing job! Everything flowed perfectly, and he kept the energy up the entire time. The music was exactly what we wanted! The dance floor was full all night, we barely left it!
I can’t recommend DJ/MC Duke enough!
We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding DJ! From the very beginning, Michael was professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. He took the time to...
understand our music preferences and absolutely nailed the vibe—from the ceremony to cocktail hour and especially the reception.
The dance floor was packed all night long!
He also did a fantastic job as an MC—keeping everything on schedule while still making it feel natural and fun. We didn’t have to worry about a thing.
If you’re looking for a DJ who will go above and beyond to make your wedding unforgettable, Michael is the one. Highly, highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
DJ MC Duke was the best choice for our wedding! He was very professional and incredibly thorough. We went over every detail of song choices for each moment, do's and don't for the ...
ceremony and information that needed to be communicated to the guests. He didn't just announce everything over his mic when some people may not be listening, he walked over to each table to dismiss them for food and mentioned anything that we needed each guest to be aware of. He was fun and energetic and truly was an amazing addition to our wedding. My dad wanted to throw people off and begin our father daughter dance with one song and quickly switch to our actual song to be funny and DJ MC Duke was all for it. He was truly a wonderful MC and DJ and we couldn't have asked for a better day; everything was perfect!

ch meeting with him through the planning process was fun and accessible, he really took the time to get to know us as a couple and help us envision the most perfect wedding. His online platform that he uses is super easy to use and helps you to customize your wedding playlists as little or as much as you like! On the wedding day, he was so professional, skillful, and personable. Everyone who attended our wedding had something good to say about him. My favorite quote was from my mom, she said that "DJ MC Duke was incredible because he was not the star of the show, he made sure that the bride and groom had ALL of their moments. But he really did put on a show with his skillful ability to progress the event and read the crowd."
We could not be more happy with the services provided to us, from the very first day of booking until even after our wedding and the way he stays in touch with all of the couples he has DJ'd for. Couldn't recommend DJ MC Duke more!

On the wedding night, he completely delivered. Our main goal was an unforgettable dance floor, and DJ MC Duke exceeded every expectation. The energy was amazing, the music was spot on, and our guests are still talking about how fun the night was. We also used his Photo Booth services, which were a fantastic addition, our guests had so much fun and loved it!
If you want a DJ who is organized, engaging, and knows how to keep the party going, DJ MC Duke is it!

He listens closely to his clients, understands their vision, and keeps the energy high with great upbeat music that keeps everyone moving. His communication is excellent! He stays in touch, follows timelines perfectly, and makes the entire experience stress-free for couples and vendors alike.
We’re grateful to have him on our preferred list and always look forward to having him back!

He even went around to all the tables to make sure everyone was having a good time. Even the music for the ceremony and cocktail hour was perfect. We really felt special and taken care of and would recommend DJ MC Duke to anyone wanting a professional, fun, energetic, and smooth process for their event. 1000/10 stars!
Thanks for making our evening so special! <3 Jen & Sam

The music, the energy, the flow of the night—he nailed every single moment. He kept the dance floor packed, read the room perfectly, and created the exact party we always dreamed of. Our wedding night was unreal, and so much of that is because of him. We are beyond grateful and would recommend him a thousand times over!
DJ MC Duke was an absolute hero for our wedding ceremony, cocktails, and reception!

fore we even got to the wedding day!
We ended up having several particular requests that include making cuts and edits of existing songs, and MC Duke had absolutely no issue working with us to make everything come together effortlessly. We also got to make our own playlist for pre-ceremony and cocktails! MC Duke even helped my best man drop a huge surprise audio track during his speech — a moment we will never forget.
You’ll have a ton of flexibility with setlist options and the dance playlists are absolute bangers. Also definitely ask about his upgrades. We went with CO2 cannons and they were a mega hit with our guests.
We genuinely have such gratitude and warmth for Duke and hope to work with him again for future events if we have the chance. Don’t miss out on this wonderful DJ and person — you’ll be in good hands!

The music selection was fantastic. Our guests raved...
about how much fun they had. You were professional, responsive, and coordinated seamlessly with our other vendors. We especially appreciated how you read the crowd and kept everyone engaged.
The transitions during our first dance were seamless and magical! Getting everyone involved in the Cha-Cha Slide and the wobble was also a highlight of the night.
Your ability to read the crowd and keep the party going was what we liked most. Your professionalism and easy-going nature made the whole experience stress-free.
We highly recommend your DJ services!

texts about how incredible our dance floor and DJ were. He knows how to keep a crowd happy, his voice is great for announcing and he goes with the flow. I wish I could have a wedding every year just so I can have DJ MC Duke be there getting all our loved ones out on the dance floor. We also used him for our photo booth which was easy to set up, our friends and family loved getting to use the props and now we have all the photos and memories from that day!

You will be so happy with your choice to hire Michael!
DJ MC Duke was amazing! He's had everything dialed in from the ceremony all the way to the last song of the night! If you want the best wedding DJ in Arizona, look no further!

nd to understand what type of vibe we were going for at the ceremony and reception. He created a timeline for our wedding that was so helpful because I did not have a day--of coordinator. He even gave my brother some pointers since it was his first time being an officiant. The party was so much fun, the music was great, his lighting was awesome, and all of our guests enjoyed the photobooth. 10/10 would recommend!

We recently had Michael DJ our wedding on 4.5.24. He was a recommended DJ from our venue and we are so glad we chose him! We received so many compliments from our guests about how ...
engaging and interactive he was throughout the night. Our main goal for the night was to keep our guests on the dance floor and he did just that! We had so much fun dancing the night away with our friends and family and can’t thank Michael enough for keeping the vibes high for the entire night!
I also wanted to mention that Michael was extremely organized and had a few video calls with us in the year leading up to our wedding. He had a planning document for us to complete which was incredibly helpful to keep us on track with everything we needed to make decisions on related to our music and timeline.
We highly recommend Michael and can’t thank him enough!!
DJ MC Duke was the best DJ we could have ever wished for on our wedding day! Throughout our planning process he was very organized, helpful, and truly got to know us personally as ...
a couple. Michael is very responsive and had great communication with us every step along the way. Our number one thing we were looking for for our wedding was someone who could keep our party crowd dancing, and he did not disappoint! He definitely knows how to throw a party and we had the most amazing wedding, dancing the night away with our favorite people. Even with it raining all night, his music kept everyone on the dance floor! If you are looking for a DJ for your wedding, 1000% go with DJ MC Duke!
There aren’t enough good things to say about Michael; he was the LIFE of our party and he truly made it the best day of our lives! He played everything we asked for and more, was s...

He was so professional, yet we say it really feels like he was our close friend celebrating alongside us. His communication was clear, consistent and his response time was incredible!
BEST DJ EVER!!!! We can't begin to express our gratitude for Michael. From the very first phone call, Michael has been responsive, professional, kind, and just overall awesome. Fin...
ding the right DJ is such an important part of a wedding and we were so so happy with Michael. The playlists he curated - from pre-ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and most importantly - dancing - were PERFECT. I would highly highly recommend DJ MC Duke for your wedding or event!
Outstanding! Michael Duke was our DJ/MC for our wedding at McCormick Ranch Golf Club. If I could give more than five stars I would. He made our entire wedding planning and wedding ...
day experience so easy and fun. From the beginning, he was welcoming, professional, and great energy. We knew we wanted him to be our DJ the moment we had our first meeting. He organized everything perfectly and made sure to check in with us to make sure we were on the same page at all times. He did everything to make sure our day was going to flow perfectly. Wedding day was flawless. He managed to keep our wild bunch of 220 guests in order of where to go and what was happening next according to our timeline. He also managed to get and keep everyone on the dance floor. While we discussed what genres and specific songs we wanted prior to wedding day, he was able to take our suggestions and soar! The music was exceptional. I received many compliments from our guests that “the DJ was amazing!” The music was fantastic, the vibes were rolling, and Michael Duke was so much fun. I 100% recommend him as your DJ/MC for your wedding, or for any event where a DJ is needed. I know we will be utilizing him in the future. Thank you again, Michael, for everything!

We looked to him for advice on certain aspects of they day but he was very respectful in playing the music we really wanted to hear. Plus, he was such a good MC!! He was so fun that night and really got the party going! Having a good DJ can make or break your wedding and let me tell you, he made it! I had such a great time and you could tell all of our guests did too. I can't recommend him enough!
Michael was beyond INCREDIBLE, he was the PERFECT DJ! From beginning to end he was a consummate professional and truly understood both my husband and I’s personalities, and love of...
music. He has an uncanny ability to read the room and people very well, which was key in keeping the night moving and people dancing. Many of my family members were in love with the music and almost everyone in attendance was on the dance floor the whole night. I could have asked or envisioned a more perfect DJ or wedding evening! I will forever recommend DJ MC Duke for any and every event! Thank you Michael for everything the night was truly Spectacular!

ionalism. Even with a planner, there are a lot of moving pieces with a wedding and having a stressless time was a big focus of ours. Michael had a timeline for us, a really organized package to fill out that considered everything for the day. He learned my parent's names (in chinese) so that they'd feel comfortable and he kept the party going all night. He was so chill but fun, it was the exact vibe we were going for. Lastly, if you are hosting an outdoors/off the grid wedding, Michael has all the right equipment to make sure there is sound where ever you go. Hire him if you want a fun and stress-free time!

r...he is the man to do so! He does amazing work arranging music, creating smooth transition into songs and reading the room to keep it fun and enjoyable. He worked along side with all our vendors and even took time to get to know our guests. Not only is he a great DJ, he is organized and super friendly and so kind. He worked alongside with My husband and I to create the perfect playlist for all our events from pre-ceremony music all the way to our grand exit song. He even made sure to create the perfect song mash up for our special dance like first dance, parent dances and more! We appreciated all the hard work he did for our wedding. Thank you Michael!!

process and spent a lot of time with my husband and I curating the perfect setlist for our wedding night! He also was attentive in listening to what we wanted and had great ideas to offer. Our wedding was a dream come true, and Michael's DJ skills amplified the night! We had a complicated set up due to our separate ceremony and reception locations, and Michael went above and beyond for ensuring we had music and sound in both locations. He arrived early for set up and was so fun to interact with. Our dance floor during our reception was never empty! DJ MC Duke worked with my husband and I's wide range of music to create a setlist that kept people on the dance floor, and that was our biggest goal! We had everything from country line dances, to oldies to hip hop, and Michael made it all come together! I have had multiple guests tell me that he was the best DJ and they have never been to a more fun wedding with so much dancing. DJ MC Duke was a joy to work with and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to have a DJ that will keep people on the dance floor!

We hired DJ MC Duke for our wedding in March 2023 and we were so impressed with his helpfulness and professionalism! During the planning process he was very organized and stayed in...
touch to help us plan and make helpful suggestions, and he was flexible and receptive to our ideas. Just days before the wedding we realized we wanted sparklers and he helped make that happen. At the wedding, he did a great job bringing the party, adding in great songs, keeping people on the dancefloor, and helping to organize and direct everybody! He even helped our photographers get a neat photo of us and he made sure we both got food from the buffet (we were both so busy talking to people we didn't even think to stop and eat!). He was also very reasonably priced! We couldn't recommend DJ MC Duke enough!
DJ MC Duke was amazing!!! Not only was he super accommodating to many last second changes, but he was able to make the whole wedding day process seamless and wonderful! We had a fe...
w meetings with him leading up to the big day and he made everything fool proof. We were pretty vague with song suggestions but that didn’t stop him from reading the crowd to a T and making the day great. He’s knowledgeable and sooooo great to work with. He even offered an option to have our officiant use a small, head mic so that he didn’t have to hold one for the whole ceremony, and that option comes with a light upgrade for the dance floor area. Y’all, just book him for your event- there’s a reason his ratings are so high all over. Thanks DJ MC Duke!!!! You Rock!
