Elite British DJ

ot. Well one thing I can tell you is that this is 100000000000% the right person for you. For any music type. Our wedding was a multiculture wedding. We had mainly English music but a few Arabic songs. Mick had no problems getting those on. He even recommended some Arabic songs. On top of his phenomenal DJ work. He helped us TREMENDSLy with suggestions before the wedding on how to do things. He calmed us down and gave us tips. On the day of the wedding, He set us up checked on us and helped us get organized. If you are looking for someone who will not only do an amazing DJ job but go above and beyond then Mick is right for you. Oh yeah and I forgot to mention he took plenty of pictures which he sent to us before our photograph, made a slide show with them as well. One other huge thing he did for us without even us knowing, he recorded our ceremony which after the wedding we realized that we barely had any recorded footage. A couple weeks after the wedding we get a HUGE SURPRISE in the form of an email from Mick with the ceremony being recorded so well. In the Email he even apologized saying it was not anything professional. What an amazing person we want to get married again just so we can hire him lol. Final tip for the engaged couples, hire Mick ASAP with those prices he is offering because the kind of work he offers is priceless and you will not I PROMISE YOU get anything close service wise for the amazing deals he offers. Thank you Mick for being amazing we honestly can't say it enough and we wish you the best!

s to incorporate into our night. He was very organized and responsive to emails and texts. Everyone had such a fun time at our wedding and we got many compliments from guests about Mick's fun personality! The day after the wedding, we also received dozens of pictures he took throughout the night and also a slide show. We were not expecting this at all and it was so nice of him to do this for us as we await pictures from our photographer. I recommend Mick very highly!

n depth and over the telephone as well. He was always quick to reply to any questions or concerns along the way. He is one of the nicest people we’ve ever met and you can tell he enjoys what he does. He kept everyone on the dance floor the day of and also kept our timeline moving along smoothly! We highly recommend him and will definitely keep in touch with him.

tish DJ exceeded ALL our expectations as our reception DJ. He was prompt, responsive, and had a great personality. Everyone loved Mick because not only is he a pro, but he’s funny on the mic! Mick is incredibly helpful in the planning process. One of the best things about Mick is his innovative ideas (for instance, he recommended having the first dance after the grand entrance, followed by all the guests doing “shout” on the dance floor – one of the biggest hits of the night that everyone was talking about the next day). He’ll also help you make so many of those pesky decisions easier (ex: like should you have a photo booth, should you have sparklers at a grand exit, etc.). He met with us in person prior to the reception to go through our many questions. He was on-time, professional, knowledgeable, and did a lot to set our minds at ease. We walked out of that meeting feeling much better about all of the details and confident that Mick would take care of everything. He was responsive to our emails and last-minute changes to various songs and day-of schedule. The online portal was a helpful resource to put in our song requests and organize them in terms of importance to us ('must play' vs. 'play if possible', etc.). There were absolutely no issues on the day of. Mick was on time, had his equipment set up for the reception, and the sound was crystal clear as well. Finally -- and perhaps most importantly – Mick killed it when he was DJ'ing during the reception. Nobody wants one of those DJ's that just plays one song after another with no mixing or beat-matching. Mick was as far from that as possible. He mixed songs together (with some unique combinations that I still remember now) and just kept the party going. I even saw my dad doing a handstand on the dancefloor – he doesn’t even dance! We had a wedding with about 110 people and he rocked the place. He had everyone on their feet and anticipating what was coming next. He made our day phenomenal and we could not have asked for a better person for our wedding! Mick’s wife, Julie Scrivener, is also in the wedding industry as a planner, so they are an awesome team if you can hire her (company name: The Best Wedding for You). Mick goes above and beyond – he even got us connected with a great Videographer – Jerry Patterson of Cloudbreak Films. So cross of finding a DJ from your list – Mick is the best. You’ll be lucky if you can get him for your event!

y stress free and made me more and more excited about the music for my wedding. My husband and I were able to have some of our favorite songs played throughout the reception. We left a lot of the dancing playlist up to Mick, and I promise that there was never a dull moment on the dance floor. It was my dream come true. Thank you, Mick!

d played the songs we wanted. He can even customize certain songs for your ceremony. Our wedding was a few months ago and some of our guests are still raving about the music. After the wedding, he writes about your day on his blog along with a video of photos with your first dance song playing in the background. I LOVED our playlist that he put together and sent us a list of songs that were played. He provided uplights in our reception room and it made a huge difference in the mood lighting. We also had his wife, Julie, as our wedding planner. These duo are the simply the best! Don't look no further and sign on with Mick!

ed some of his thoughts on how we might make the day even more fun. We quickly knew that Mick was going to add just the right touch to both our ceremony and the party to follow. We found the process of selecting the music was very convenient and easy on Mick’s website. You simply populate the online form from extensive catalog of songs from a variety of genres. Looking back on our wedding day we can confidently say that we made the right choice in selecting Mick. He worked well with the other vendors and our wedding coordinator to make sure we stayed on schedule and everything ran smoothly. Many of our wedding guests, ranging from ages 5 to 83, said how much fun they had and what an awesome DJ he was. Everyone had a great time and the dance floor was packed all night! Mick also surprised us the morning after our wedding day with an email that had a slideshow of pictures he had taken at our wedding which he set to the song we played for our grand entrance at the reception! It was so nice to be able to see photos of the days’ event the very next morning and share them with all of our family and friends! We can’t say enough great things about Mick and highly recommend him for making our wedding a night we will never forget!

ick with Elite British DJ is your man! His wife was our wedding planner and the two of them are absolutely great together!!!! Hands down exceptional service!

o find someone who really cared to make their wedding perfect for them. Thank you so much Mick. The whole wedding went to smoothly!

've been to. And many thank you, thank you, thank you's to him for all the other behind the scenes/coordinating with me, the bridal party, and the photographers/videographers that really made the night run smoothly. He maintained excellent communication and provided sound advice throughout the entire wedding planning process. Mick knows what he is doing. He's been doing this a while and has definitely mastered it. I HIGHLY recommend him to my family, friends, anyone! He is one of the best in the industry. Hands down. Hire him. You won't regret it.

floor immediately after the grand entrance, which set the stage for a phenomenal party! Not only is he professional, timely, and an excellent communicator, but he also has wonderful suggestions and advice he can offer to make the reception exactly as you want it (and he does not get offended if you decide not to take his advice). We have had wedding guests contact us since the wedding to tell us how wonderful the DJ was....I'd highly recommend him for any DJ needs!!

ntage for you after the event, his service is A+. He is very personable and knows how to take his clients personalities and make an event that fits them perfectly. He even went as far as to take our taste in music and find acoustic versions of the songs for our dinner time music. Thanks for helping to make our night perfect Mick!

nds to emails in minutes and is there for you every step of the way. His wife is a wedding planner so he also understands the entirely of a wedding and what is should look like. I love that he made our wedding so special and unique for us. My husband and his groomsmen had a special extrance that Mick designed and our guests LOVED it. He is also a closest comedian because he knows how to get the crowd laughing. I had MULTIPLE guests come up to me and say how good he was and asked for his contact information. So Newly-engaged people, your wedding DJ search should end here and you should book elite british dj. To mick if yu're reading this, Matt and I are so happy we chose you to be our DJ. We'll recommend you to everyone we know.

et with him 2 months before the wedding, then one week before the wedding, and he was very responsive and personable. He gave us some really cool ideas to make our wedding unique and entertaining. If we wasn't for Mick, our wedding would have been just another boring wedding ceremony, BUT, Mick knows how to run the show! Don't waste your money on a "part time" DJ! Pay up - your guests will thank you for it! Jady & I LOVED the photos and videos you took! THANK YOU MICK!

d him. Thanks Mick!

great sense of humor that is very appreciated. I had many people ask me who the DJ was and for his info...not a single person had any negative comment --- which if you've been to a lot of weddings --- you know how rare that really is. Thanks Mick!

in high demand. I have been to many weddings and Mick is honestly the best in his field. He knows what music will keep people dancing all night and that is what i wanted at my wedding. He went above and beyond to make the night memorable and fun. He also makes himself available for any changes up until the last minute. The night before the wedding I emailed him a song i wanted to make sure was played during dinner and he responded right away and made sure the song was played. The day after the wedding Mick sent me a video of our wedding reception with pictures him and Julie had taken and had our first dance song as the background music. He also sent a list of all the songs played at our wedding. That was such a special treat and something I did not expect. Mick is worth every penny and if you are able to book him for your wedding you are in for a treat!

His music selection and equipment used was perfect for us and our guests! I highly recommend elite British DJ for your event! He even got my dad dancing the night away. He made this night so special and we will always remember it. Thank you.

ked with our taste in music and what was getting everone out on the dance floor. He also took photos and made a slideshow of our wedding with our "last dance of the night" song as the music! Mick is honestly so good at what he does, you can tell he really loves doing it and wants to make your day perfect in any way he can! I would 100% work with him again and recommend him to everyone. I could easily say so many more great things, but basically book Mick as your DJ and you won't be disappointed! Thank you Mick for being so awesome :)

been to. He is timely, considerate, and knows music AND wedding dancing better than anybody you will ever meet. Thank you Mick!

t everyone told us how much they loved the music and were dancing all night long. Highly recommend Mick, and the bonus was the special video he sent us with highlights from our wedding right before our honeymoon.

our options. He has tremendous experience and even offered his input and advice in other areas of the planning and timing things throughout the evening. We had SO many compliments from our guests on the energy and music at our event. People absolutely loved our grand entrance and Mick was the mastermind behind how we kicked off the reception. It totally set the tone for a fun and lively reception. He offers his opinions based on his experience and what he has seen work or not work musically at events over the years and he is also very accommodating of your song preferences. For us, one of the most important aspects of hiring vendors was finding people that we knew we would not have to worry about or babysit. Because Mick is so organized and experienced, we knew that was one part of the wedding planning that was off our plates as soon as we hired him. He infused a wonderful energy into our event and we are happy to recommend him to anyone that is looking to throw a really fun party!

his song choices other than the important first dance, etc. Our wedding guests are still talking about how amazing he was as a DJ. He was fun, entertaining and our dance floor was full so we were happy. Not to mention that we had the most amazing time at our wedding and we wouldn't do anything differently. Absolutely recommend hiring Mick as your DJ, he is the best.

t us updated throughout the reception as well as anyone giving speeches. He worked with our coordinators and caterers to keep dinner organized and worked with our videographers to provide them with hook-ups for their microphones to capture quality sound for their film. Mick has earned 5 stars for a reason, my suggestion is to allow him to read your crowd and not worry about the music. He's got it handled. You will be so glad you chose Elite British DJ for your wedding! Mick- we cannot thank you enough for your professionalism and for keeping our guests on the dance floor. All we wanted was a fun wedding with good food and a giant dance party, you certainly made that happen!

both! They give you a great rate and work so well together. Our night went so smoothly and was more fun than we could have imagined. P.S. When he asks - say yes to the Shout Dance!

xt fall! Awesome job Mick! Thank you! The Eastwood Clan

over again, Mick and Julie are two hires I would certainly make again and again. Mick is a great guy, knows what the crowds like and brought some humor to the night. Book Mick before it's too late!

e was so helpful choosing songs and making suggestions for the entire day. He also knows exactly what music to play (and not play) based off of your crowd, and has funny little twerks to throw into the reception to mix things up. He works with whatever style you're going for, and his online system is very user-friendly. He even e-mailed us (amazing) pictures he took of us at the wedding the very next morning. I loved him as our wedding DJ, but I also just want to hang out with him because he's an awesome and fun person. Seriously, book Mick. You'll be so happy you did.

e of humor. He is exceptional at what he does and well worth the money. All of my friends and family who attended the wedding complimented Mick and the great music he played.

dding day, Mick read the crowd and played songs that got everyone up and dancing, and had me cracking up with laughter during dinner. He took requests from the guests, but filtered out those he knew would kill the mood. My husband and I were having so much fun that we didn't want the party to stop! I keep hearing from my guests that it was one of the best weddings they've ever been to, and I know that is in large part due to Mick Scrivener of Elite British DJ.

tacular. Everything was perfectly timed, the music sounded great, the setup was well-organized, and everyone had a wonderful time dancing. The last thing you want at a wedding is an awkward DJ trying to coax people out onto the dance floor and his efforts falling flat. Mick has flair and a great way of interacting with the crowd, the bride and groom, and the wedding party to make the night so much fun. He works with an online form for you to fill on the music for each event at your wedding (processional song, first dance song, last song of the night etc), and then has a place for you to fill in some must play songs, would like to play songs, and do not play songs. Mick was very easy going about helping us choose songs. He would explain why certain songs would work well and certain songs were less successful, but ultimately we always felt that the decision was ours with no pushing from him. We gave him a lot of freedom with our music and he delivered an amazing playlist that we thoroughly enjoyed. We had so many people dancing through the night, and since it was a wedding with people aged from 12-82, we thought that was pretty impressive! He’s responsive, professional, actually British, and has a great sense of humor. He had a short vacation but was still available for any questions and always got back really quickly to us. He also had some really good ideas about unique things to try, or good timing for music that got us some great photos and a lot of excitement from our guests. We’ve heard a lot of people say that the DJ can make or break your wedding. If this is the case, then Mick made it for us. His work is truly excellent on all fronts. He also sent us a beautiful slide show of our wedding from photos he had taken during the night. It is set to one of our last dance songs and something we will treasure forever. It captures the feel of the night and so many special moments. We had no idea he would do this, it was just another wonderful part of working with him. On a related note, Mick’s wife is a professional wedding planner/coordinator and she is excellent as well. As individuals you should not hesitate to hire either one because they are superb at their jobs. Having them work as a team just takes your day from wonderful to beyond your dreams amazing and perfect.

his experience from doing this so many, many times. Thankfully in each instance, his advice was really the way to go, keep the flow, add to the excitement of the entire day/night. He made some on the fly suggestions based on how the flow of the evening was going and they were spot on. He really played with how the crowd reacted to everything to make sure our guests had a great time. I was told by many people that this was the most fun they have ever had at a wedding. We thank Mick for that!

ary base. After meeting them, my husband remembered he was the DJ for his friend's wedding a few years ago. We explained that our wedding will be on Halloween and he was already excited. We met with him twice before the wedding to discuss music selection. Mick has an incredible site with music lists you can choose from as well as adding your own to your profile. On our last meeting with him before the wedding, he would point out what music would and would not work for the guests. He was so right!!! He kept everyone on the dance floor ALL night long! That night was also his 1,000 wedding! What a way to celebrate! He helped us with the ceremony and the reception music selection. He also suggested that after the bouquet-garter toss that he step in for the guy to slip on the garter blindfolded. The music was memorable for us and our guests! He even puts together a blog of our memorable day: http://www.sandiegoweddingdjblog.com/?p=5139 Book Elite British DJ (and The Best Wedding For You) to make your wedding day memorable. (People are still talking about our wedding!)

nd gave so many compliments to the DJ! He's genius!! :)

ne raved about him and the music, and everyone had a fantastic time! I am so happy that we went with all of his unique suggestions, especially playing Shout! right after the first dance. That was my favorite moment of the entire day. He even took a video of this moment and several pictures throughout the day and made us a beautiful slide show which he promptly sent us the next day after our wedding! Mick truly went above and beyond and we are so grateful. Mick was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. He was very responsive throughout all of the planning phases and very helpful. He helped us make our wedding very personalized to us and also fun for our guests. I was so happy that I listened to his suggestions where we needed them as he is the professional and knows what works best. I couldn't be more pleased that we hired him for our wedding!

t and he had the entire wedding party dancing all night. Lastly, not only were his lights and music perfect, but he kept checking in with us to make sure we were ok and we implemented all his suggestions which were awesome. That rain could've really bummed us out but having him there to assure us that everything was going to be ok meant the world to us. thanks for a wonderful night!

t the wonderful job he did for our small wedding-he was the entire entertainment for the reception (besides us, of course). We received many compliments from our family and guests remarking how personable and talented he was that day. As a bonus, we received a professional and beautiful slide show the very evening of our wedding which was such a special remembrance of the day. We were so glad we chose Mick for our wedding and cannot thank him enough! THANKS, MICK....Anne and Steve

f listening to our ideas and giving his own recommendations. His predictions of how people would react to certain songs were spot on (so LISTEN TO HIM!). He is super organized; I loved his online system where you can you log in and organize your song requests, including prioritizing them from "must play" and "do not play." He also requested a final meeting with us closer to our wedding date to review all our song choices and discuss them, but still leaving us the flexibility of making any last minute choices in the days leading up to the wedding. At the wedding, he did not surprise us with anything that he said he would or wouldn't do previously. However he did pleasantly surprise us with a slideshow with a recording of my friends singing a personalized song about us at the reception. When he made announcements, he was well rehearsed, not overly verbose, funny at times, and looked for ways to keep the feel personalized. There were no technical issues (that we knew of); everything worked smoothly and the sound quality was great. We had a ton of guests coming up to us asking how we found him. If we were to do it all over again, we would still choose him! (and his wife as coordinator, but that's for a separate review)

ecommendations that all the guests loved. He was so easy to work with and made the day flawless. Greatest decision we made was choosing both Mick and Julie, they are a dream team!

vorite. Mick was on point throughout the night and the wedding flowed perfectly. He has a fun, personable and charming personality, which complimented our style. His wife Julie was the coordinator for our wedding and the two worked SO WELL together. We’re still receiving compliments from our friends and family about how wonderful our wedding coordinator and DJ were. Chris and I were so lucky to have met him and his wife at one of the Bridal Shows in Del Mar. Can’t say enough about how amazing that night went thanks to Mick and Julie!

e floor was crowded for every single dance, I kid you not! He made the evening flow effortlessly, he played to the crowd, he was funny and it was a total blast! My daughter so wanted everyone to party and have a good time and Mick did that for us! As a side note, his wife Julie (The Best Wedding For You) was our wedding coordinator, and between the two of them, the evening was a huge success. I have had so many compliments from family and friends regarding the reception, as have the groom's parents too, and that was all Mick and Julie! I have only done two reviews my entire life, this one and one for Julie, but you have to check these two out. I will always have a special place in my heart for them for making my daughter's wedding and reception such a beautiful, joyous, and super fun day!

songs we wanted for our first dance, money dance, etc. Mick even custom edited my ceremony entrance song, our grand entrance, and a special song that my groom and I worked on with our siblings to entertain our guests during dinner. He is open to all kinds of ideas and also makes great suggestions and has good advice. His prices were reasonable as well; he gave us a discount since our wedding was on a Sunday and we got a further discount for paying cash. He also was great at directing everyone in keeping the flow of the wedding going from cocktail hour, to dinner, dancing, cake, etc. I would definitely recommend having him at your event if you are in the San Diego area!

really added something special to our wedding. All of our guests were so impressed and took note of how great he was and let us know we made an excellent choice working with him. He takes the time to talk in depth to each couple beforehand and go through all the important musical moments in a wedding (for us this included the ceremony music, the grand entrance, special dances, general reception music and more) and my husband and I both walked away from that conversation with him saying, "Wow! Our wedding is going to be awesome! I'm so excited! Our guests are going to be dancing the whole time." and that's definitely how we felt after the wedding too. If you want to have a wedding where everyone's energized and on their feet dancing the night away, we would definitely working with Mick!

etting him keep the reception moving forward while working with the other vendors. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed the music. Overall it was great working with Mick and feel is a great option for anyone looking for her services.

ding planning from a neighbor so I made an appointment to meet Mick. My fiancé and I went in with an open mind while also telling him what kind of atmosphere we wanted. We walked out of that first meeting, looked at each other and knew that we had the DJ for one of the most important days of our lives. Mick accomplished our dream with flying colors! We couldn't have asked for more and are so appreciative of his efforts to make us feel as special as we did on our wedding day. He will listen to your desires and also give you honest feedback based on his years of experience. If you want to breathe easy during your wedding planning, hiring Mick to be your DJ and his wife Julie as your wedding planner is the right choice!!! I can't say that enough!

ly. Mick can dance down the line and do flips on the way back. After the wedding, many guests told me how impressed they were with Mick. Well worth the price, and certainly worth the cheeky humor. I will be using Mick again next time I am in need of a DJ.

es as he’d noticed the guests were into that during cocktail hour (which was fine with us but we didn’t really care either way) and when he started the oldies set our guests, both young and old, went nuts. Everyone, from our college friends to grandparents, kept complimenting us on the music, and the dance floor was full almost the whole night. There was a great mix of oldies, new music, and random other songs that we had specifically requested and were meaningful to us. The only (really, the only!) thing I would have changed was that he put some of the less-popular-to-dance-to songs back to back, and I might have preferred to mix it up. Mick does have a strong personality but definitely knows what he is talking about when it comes to music and ensuring that you and all your wedding guests will have an amazing time. And the next day he already had a slide show up on the website so we could re-live it all again!

sts and make the night flow perfectly. His experience allows him to know what works and what doesn't when it comes to the music for the cocktail hour, dinner, and dance portion of the reception. He took guests requests but made sure the music was enjoyable for all guests to keep the party going until the very end of the night. His MC skills were on point and all of our guests enjoyed his sense of humor. I would recommend Mick to any friend looking for a DJ.

le night, and had practically every single person dancing. Not something that you see often at a wedding. People starting dancing before dinner was even over, and everyone was on the dance floor the whole night. His suggestions were spot on, and he made the night so enjoyable for my husband and I, so that we didn't have to worry about a thing. I wish I could have another party just so I can hire him again.

buted to the ambiance. We had a pretty good idea of what we wanted out of our music, but he made some fabulous suggestions that really improved our evening. We could not have been happier hiring him.

s out with song suggestions, knows his craft better than anyone and is super personable. He had nothing in mind but to give us and our guests memories to last a lifetime and he did exactly that. Thank you Mick, we are forever grateful!

r 2014, and with our wedding date of 5-10-15, we had to start from scratch. Once we determined Paradise Point was the location, we set out to find the perfect vendors. We yelped and read reviews on The Knot & Wedding wire. Mick was always at the top of our searches! Mick had outstanding reviews and had the best website of all the DJ's we were looking at. We sent an inquiry thru his website, and he called us back within 24 hours! The second I heard his voice, I knew he was going to DJ our wedding! The 1st time we met Mick at Paradise Point, we knew how lucky we got when he agreed to be our DJ! Mick is extremely personable, sincere and knowledgeable. We ran thru the basics of the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception and what he thought were good music choices for all. We emailed and Skyped prior to the wedding and his input proved to be invaluable! We are extremely thrilled to have had the best DJ on the planet, as our wedding was absolutely perfect!! From the very beginning of the ceremony, the song selections were perfect. He suggested some light humor during the ceremony, which was a huge hit! The choices he suggested for the cocktail hour were outstanding. And the reception, he knew exactly how to get our family and friends on their feet dancing! He also is excellent at reading the room and figuring out very quickly what songs got everyone out of the chairs onto the dance floor! He is also very knowledgeable when it came to lighting the room! It was the perfect ambiance mixed with the best music! Mick is the DJ extraordinaire! If you want the best day of your life to be amazing, Mick is the only choice! We also had the extreme pleasure of working with his wife, Julie, as our coordinator. They truly are The Dream Team!!

an open book and will tell you whats on his mind and let you know what he l I'm es, but don't be worried, he will do whatever you say. But he is brilliant, so try and listen to him :) Day of, he was there early and dressed very dapper and professionally. He was extremely good at reading the crowd and even gave us a little nudge when he noticed we were taking too long visiting tables. This was incredibly helpful because you will have no sense of time. We paired with his wife Julie and together they made sure that everything went off without a hitch. It was also a nice bonus that if you package the 2 of them, you get a huge discount. Seriously, it was the only weddings iv'e been to where almost nothing went wrong, and being the groom, i saw behind the scenes. It was truly impressive. If you don't go with mick and Julie, you are just wrong.

g details and initial song ideas. He then provided us with lots of great suggestions (as he has clearly been doing this for a long time) and walked us through the flow of the wedding reception. We then spent a few days entering all the songs we wanted to include (using his easy online system) and then met as his house a second time for a final review of everything. During the "big day" everything flowed perfectly! From the grand entrance to the very last song played, Mick was on point. Here are 5 reasons why Mick is a no brainer decision: 1) Talented - Mick is not only a great DJ but he knows how to work a crowd (when needed). He keeps the party flowing all night long! 2) Super organized - from start to finish you are taken care off. He will walk you through the entire process and entering songs via his online planner is seamless. 3) Experienced - Mick knows what works at weddings and what doesn't. He has tons of great advice and is great to bounce ideas off of. 4) Nice - Mick is a really nice guy and was such a pleasure to work with, which makes the whole process enjoyable. 5) Professional - Mick showed up on time, professionally dressed, and worked his magic. We will be recommending Mick to all of our friends and will be using him for all of our future party's. Stop reading this review already! Go with Mick! Adam & Karmin

we were impressed by his approach. All other vendors were out in the aisles pushing flyers and papers on prospective customers while Mick was relaxed and staying in his booth speaking to folks that came to him. As we struck up a conversation, we appreciated that he approached weddings similarly... he said the wedding day is our day and he was there to work for the couple and do what the couple wants... it was not about the DJ being the center of attention during the reception. He said he had many happy clients whose reviews spoke for themselves so he didn't feel the need to push his services. He figured the right people who were interested in his services would come to him. When we got engaged and the time came to choose a DJ, we contacted a few DJs, but Mick was the first one we met with. He was professional, creative, open, and honest about his services and his approach. His vast amount of experience and his online planning tool were both items we considered big pluses (particularly the "No play" list option). In our conversation, we came to find that his wife Julie was a wedding coordinator. Since we were looking for a coordinator, we met with her briefly and they sent us home with a packet of information and told us to contact them within the next week... very relaxed and low pressure. After weighing options, we decided to go with both of them... their packaged deals are definitely worth it! We are Catholic so we only hired Mick for the reception, and are so glad we did! The planning process was smooth. We loved how Mick likes to have fun, unique memorable events during the reception... we used a few of his and threw a few news ones of our own at him... all together we had a Star Wars entrance complete with light sabers, a Flash Mob at the end of the best man speech, a boy band dance off, an alternative to the garter toss, and a few other very unique memorable moments. Mick did a great job combining our ideas with his and running everything so well. We were running behind after the toasts, but Mick adjusted things so that we could still get all the important events (cake cutting, bouquet throw, etc.) in before our photographer and videographer left and still have time left for dancing. We had SO many guests tell us it was the best wedding they've been to, the most fun wedding they've been to, a reception that was just very "us", and had several people ask us for the playlist because they enjoyed the music choices so much. People are still raving about the wedding 2 months later! We were glad we picked Mick to DJ our reception, and would recommend you consider hiring both him and Julie for you wedding!

advice and recommendations, but always stressed that it was our day and we should do it how we want. He and his wife Julie are a perfect pair to keep your wedding running smoothly. Our last meeting with Mick a week before the wedding to go over song choices really calmed my fiance and I and got us even more excited for the big day! I cannot recommend Mick highly enough. My grandfather even got out of his wheelchair and onto the dance floor, which was so special for my family. Mick really keeps the event flowing and the party going!

re searching. He made wonderful suggestions about what to do and what not to do in our wedding. He walked us through the different moments with important music, and he gave us an online system to use for planning that was so easy. My husband and I are both very musical and cared deeply about what kind of music was played at our wedding. Mick's system gave us the freedom to choose different songs without having to pick out everything on the playlist. And on the day of, he perfectly matched our desired genres. He also kept the energy moving and was an excellent emcee! My other favorite part about Mick was that I didn't want the music to be too loud. (In many weddings and events I've attended, I leave with my ears ringing and my voice hoarse from shouting above the music.) Mick set up a fantastic balance of speakers around the room that meant he didn't have to blast the music for it to be heard. Everybody loved the music and the fun he created! At our wedding, we also had a lot of different elements we were trying to coordinate, from family speeches to special dances and other surprises. Mick seamlessly worked with our wedding coordinator and kept everything moving, adapting to any timeline changes smoothly. He is absolutely a pro! Perhaps the most extraordinary thing about Mick, though, was what he did above and beyond on our wedding day. He actually brought his own camera, photographed various moments in our wedding, created a slideshow/video set to our first dance song, and sent it to use The Night of Our Wedding! We got beautiful photos on the SAME day, with angles that even our awesome photographer didn't get. We sent that slideshow to so many people who couldn't make it to the wedding, and it is such a special gift to have. Mick is a class act in every way. We are so thrilled that we booked him for our wedding!!

to play at your party. He also had several unique suggestions for the reception, which helped make the day extra special! We love Mick's fun-loving personality!

a video collage of the evening the very next day. It was a very unexpected surprise. The photos were great! I would highly recommend Mick and his wife Julie (wedding planner). They make a great team! I would give 10 stars if I could!

r our wedding! He also made the entire process of choosing songs, etc really easy. I would highly recommend Mick!

the dance floor. Being an Optometrist during the day and a musician on weekends I have a great eye for talent and MIck is the dj to hire for any event. Thanks again for making my sons wedding such a success. My friends cant stop talking about how much fun they had. Howard Levy o.d. carlsbad, ca.

impression was that they were so organized, which relieved a lot of stress! Mick was already familiar with our venue which was a plus because he explained exactly where/how he would set up. We had several conversations with Mick before the wedding, all of which were great because he had so many good suggestions. He told us how he likes to set the tone of the night by starting the dancing right away! Not only was perfect, but we literally had compliments from our guests! We decided to give him a lot of freedom with the song selection as I was not sure what people would be in the mood to dance to. He definitely knows how to read the vibe of the party and keep it going! Not only did we dance until the very last song, my grandmother did too! He did such a wonderful job and I highly recommend him!

emely helpful helping us get the perfect music for our special day!! I will highly recommend him to anyone in need of an awesome DJ!!

was no need to look any further. For us, the DJ was the most important aspect of our wedding as we LOVE to dance and wanted to have an epic dance party at our wedding. Mick walked us through every aspect of what to expect from a musical standpoint for our wedding, and sold us instantly. Everything from subtle cocktail hour music to an eclectic mix of dance floor jams that kept everyone loose and on their feet. Working with Mick was very easy – his online platform for creating your ideal wedding playlist was a huge help, and he kindly offered us some excellent suggestions on ways to incorporate some added “fun” into the normal wedding traditions (i.e. bouquet/garter toss)… I would suggest asking Mick about his little garter “trick”… trust me you won’t be disappointed. During the actual wedding, the reception was everything and more. Mick knows he knows what hes doing! He evolved into more of an MC than just your standard DJ – he expertly dictated the pace of the reception to ensure everyone was having an amazing time. It was perfect and made for a wonderful atmosphere throughout the evening. He made our wedding so memorable for not only myself and fiancé but we've heard nothing but amazing things from all our friends and family. When I said we wanted an epic dance party, he delivered! Finally, much to our surprise, we woke a day after our wedding to a wonderful photo slideshow, put together by Mick, of images he personally took throughout the wedding. We couldn’t have been happier with Mick and the Elite British DJ experience. I would highly recommend him to anyone that will soon say their “I Do’s”.

ad so many people tell me what a great wedding it was and how awesome the DJ/music was. The dance floor was always full! Even when we had a power outage, Mick handled it with humor and still kept the positive flow going. The next day, I received a 4 minute video of pictures they took during the wedding and it was put to our wedding song. It's really a nice touch, especially since we have to wait weeks before we get our video and pictures. You will be in such good hands with this wonderful duo. Book them!!!!

aspect of the wedding to him. We met with Mick twice prior to the wedding and he was receptive and responsive to our thoughts and ideas. We got married in Coronado on May 31 and hired Mick for our cocktail hour and reception. He also made our monogram and did our blue uplighting. The room looked absoluetly amazing! The lighting and monogram really put the finishing touches to our beautiful ballroom. Not only was the music and lighting perfect but Mick continued to amaze us after the wedding. The next day he posted a video on FB from personal pictures he took of the wedding with our first dance song playing in the background. That was such a pleasant suprise! And to top that, when we got home from our honeymoon we had a package in the mail with a copy of that video, the pictures and audio of the bridal/grand entrance and toasts. Oh and before the wedding he gave us a copy of what he would play during the cocktail hour since we'd miss it. He really went above and beyond our expectations. He was so much fun to work with. We highly reccommend Mick!

sic choices yet read the crowd flawlessly the whole night! We thankfully found Mick through Julie (his wife) and The Best Wedding for You. She gave us his information and we checked him out online where he posts extensive information about music at the wedding and we were sold immediately at our first meeting! Of all the comments we have gotten from our wedding, at the top is how great the music was. Mick is professional, funny, energetic, non cheesy and all around great! We loved him and must be hired! Thank you for such a great night!

ing reception. My wife and I had our Wedding in Downtown San Diego - with a ceremony at a church off site, and our reception at the El Cortez Don Room. We recognized a chemistry immediately with Mick (and Julie) during our initial meeting, as he provided an outline of the songs we should be considering, and overall flow of the event for our big day. Following that meeting, we provided our proposed set list a few weeks prior to the event and met with him to review. Mick was respectfully honest about certain song selections and provided feedback on which would more so cater to a fun environment for our guests - while still playing the songs we genuinely wanted. As a side note - often overlooked, Mick did a masterful job ensuring the sound quality was superb for the duration of the evening. The hexagonal shape of the dining room would seemingly create a challenge for acoustics, but the sound quality was perfect throughout the night for both cocktail, dinner and dancing. Ultimately, we would highly recommend Mick (and Julie) for their professionalism, preparation, experience, and ability to read the crowd effectively. Like so many reviewers before, a ton of our guests have told us that ours was one of the best weddings they had ever been to, and the DJ/overall flow deserved a lot of credit for the experience. We can't say enough good things about them, we could not have envisioned our wedding going any better, and Mick and Julie deserve a lot of praise! Stellar job, Mick and Julie!!!

ompetitive. We highly recommend the packages combining his services with his wife, Julie's services at The Best Wedding For You. They are an efficient team that kept our big day running smoothly throughout. Mick helped us to plan the music for our wedding ceremony and reception. He offered song, timing, and floor plans suggestions that proved extremely helpful. He arrived to our venue in a timely manner, dressed professionally, and worked seamlessly with our other vendors and flexible timeline. He played a terrific variety of music-- every guest made it out to the dance floor at least once! While not every guest is a "dancer," he kept a solid group out there all night. He was responsive to requests and even initiated a dance off between guests! We could go on and on about Mick. Bottom line: HIRE HIM!

eas to make the night different, and as someone who has been to dozens of weddings- that really counted alot for me. He was a pleasure to work with during the planning process too, and we loved the blog post that he put up the next day- it is nice to have the list of songs played that night for the memories. The DJ was the one thing that we spent a decent amount of time researching, and we are so happy we went with Mick. He is well deserving of all of the awards he has gotten and helped to create an amazing and memorable night for us. Thank you Mick!!!

on the dance floor all night long and the guests couldn't stop talking about how much fun they had. He made our wedding night perfect and we cannot thank him enough.

He had great suggestions for us, and every suggestion he offered, we used, and couldn't have been happier with the outcome. It's nice to know you can completely trust him. He also keeps everything very well organized. But most importantly, he had EVERYONE dancing the whole night. I mean, it was a GREAT party, and Mick was by far the reason. He injects a lot of fun energy into the entire night. We received many compliments from people, stating its the best wedding they've ever been to, and I can't help but think that a large part of that is Mick's talent. If you are going to splurge on ONE thing at your wedding, splurge on a great dj, and in my opinion, Mick is the greatest. I can't imagine it going any better with someone else. Thanks, Mick, a million times over. We had the time of our lives!!

ting, it was obvious that he loves what he does and puts 110% in to every event. Mick has a ton of knowledge about music, San Diego wedding venues, the best way to set up rooms, weddings in general, etc. We were totally confident that he was going to make our event a success and we didn't worry about a thing! As for the music, Mick has an online system where you can request songs for your event, which makes planning a breeze. He gives suggestions as needed, but totally respects your ideas. The day of the wedding, Mick provided the music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception. Everything was seamless! We hired Mick along with his wife Julie (Wedding Coordinator @ The Best Wedding for You) for our wedding. They made an amazing team! You can't go wrong having Mick as your wedding DJ!
