Michael was awesome! He did a great job communicating and set up meetings with us to fully understand what we wanted on wedding day. He was extremely helpful and truly cared about making sure the wedding was perfect. He added some personal details to make the entire evening unique to us. His music/mixes were also awesome! He did an amazing job and we received several compliments from our guests. We HIGHLY recommend MDE!
Michael was the best! We couldn't have picked a better fit for our wedding. He was reliable, classy, detailed, and flexible. When we decided mid-reception to skip an hour of dancing and go straight into the send off, he didn't skip a beat a rolled right with it! He makes a beautiful personal bond with the couple and is very thoughtful. 100% would recommend him to other brides. I wasn't worried for a moment throughout the wedding that he wouldn't have people participating and have the next activities all lined out.
Michael made our wedding truly unforgettable! He incorporated thoughtful personal touches that meant so much to both my (now) husband and me. He was incredibly helpful with all of our questions and provided great guidance on what would work best. His communication was excellent, and he stayed on top of every detail, ensuring that our day went off without a hitch. Our guests were even praising his work. I HIGHLY recommend him!
My wife and I chose Michael to DJ our wedding. We were blown away by his professionalism before and during the event. He took the time to make our event personal to us, and both of our families loved the music! His passion and talent made our wedding more lovely and unforgettable.
Michael is the best of the best. Personable, funny, and keeps the party going. Thank you for such a wonderful evening Michael!
MDE is awesome! It’s hard to hire a DJ, because it’s unlikely you’ve seen them in action before, so you’re essentially paying sight unseen. And admittedly, we were nervous, but Michael is awesome! He uses an app to organize your timeline and all of your music, and you get to fill it in at your own pace! His song edits for our first dances were great, his pricing is reasonable, and he was able to read the dance floor well. He’s a wee bit chatty, but we’ll give him a pass ;)
Michael was awesome! Very easy to talk with and he was supportive of our wishes and desires. He made our day feel even more special! We are so thankful we chose him to take part in our day and wouldn’t do it differently!
Michael was so kind, thoughtful, and went out of his way to make our day special. He cares very deeply for his clients. He is very fun to work with and is just a fantastic guy.
We had Michael provide music for our wedding! I can’t say enough about Michael! From our first phone call to still having text exchanges about our special day, he’s so involved in what he does and he is an absolute joy! He was absolutely perfect and I can’t thank him enough for making our day so special for us! He got to know us prior to the wedding and thought of so many details to just add to our day! He kept the dance floor going and knew just when to make funny announcements or jokes! He also knew just the right words for our special moments! I feel like we made a new friend! Him and his wife are just absolutely everything and we will never be able to thank them enough! Don’t look any further, you have found the right guy!!

If you’re looking for an amazing DJ, look no further! You won’t regret using Michael as your DJ. I had no idea where to start when looking for a DJ, but after reading the reviews for Michael, I decided to contact him and I am so thankful I did. My wedding day would have not been the same without him. From the beginning, Michael was a great communicator and was very quick to respond anytime that I had a question. He set up multiple zoom meetings, so we could get to know him and ensure that everything was prepared for wedding day. Not only was Michael a great communicator, but he was also very organized. He has an app that he uses that helped us to easily inform him of details for our wedding day and songs that we wanted played at our wedding. The app helped us to also inform Michael of specific songs we wanted played at specific times during our wedding (song for cake cutting, song for entrance/exit, etc). Michael is very personable, and we greatly appreciated the time that he took to truly get to know me and my husband. It felt like we had known Michael for years even just in the first zoom meeting. The thing that makes Michael different from other DJs is the time and effort he puts in to make “special moments” throughout the wedding. One example of this is that he offered the idea for me to put in a voice recording for my dad during our dance together. This moment with my dad is something that I will cherish forever and was really special and emotional for every person who was at the wedding. He offered many different ideas like this - however, he never pushed us to do anything that we didn’t want to do. I also had some ideas of my own, which he graciously helped me execute at my wedding. Overall, Michael helped me make my dream wedding come true. I highly recommend using him as your DJ!!
Michael and his wife provide excellent service. Both for the ceremony and reception they have the expertise and equipment to make your special day run great. Michael has a great sense of atmosphere and timing and was a great addition to our reception providing wonderful insight and direction for us and our guests.
Michael Durham Entertainment was a blessing to work with for my daughter's wedding. I was anxious about hiring a DJ because I knew they would represent my family and Michael did an amazing job! He was so well organized and focused before hand on exactly what my daughter wanted for music and the ceremony. He was early to the venue and completely ready and prepared when the time came. He did a beautiful job creating a special slide show for the parent dances and helped us pull off a surprise dance by both sets of parents. His up lighting was beautiful and completely changed the look and feel of the venue for the better! Completely recommend Michael Durham Entertainment for your event if preparation, personal service, professionalism and being on time is important to you!
Michael made sure that EVERYTHING went perfectly! From our pre-ceremony music to the last dance, he did wonderfully. There were no hiccups or technical difficulties. He went above and beyond and helped make the day even more wonderful for us. Our family and guests LOVED Michael as he was extremely helpful during the entire wedding. He understands how to read the crowd and his expertise went far beyond just his DJ skills. He helped make our wedding day easy and fun. We would never choose another DJ over Michael and would HIGHLY recommend him for your wedding. He truly is the best there is, plain and simple.
Very professional and personable! Connected well with a large crowd of people ranging from toddlers to elders and managed to get them all on the dance floor! He worked hard to personalize our reception to my husband and I in ways we didn’t expect and will always treasure!
Michael was absolutely amazing. He has a an awesome personality and does his job extremely thoroughly. You cannot find a better DJ and MC, they don’t exist.
Michael helped make our wedding day the best day of our lives. He does a phenomenal job reading the room and playing the right music, and some of the extra stuff he offers really helps top things off. He is very detailed and involved but makes the process very easy and smooth. Highly recommend!
Having Michael for our wedding DJ was the perfect choice. He was comforting, supportive, and—most importantly—did an awesome job with the actual DJing part. From the ceremony music to reception music and everything before, between, and after, he made it easy.
Mike was absolutely amazing. He has a software to help organize the songs you want during the various stages of your wedding. It’s super easy to use and provides sections for comments. He’s incredibly responsive and helpful. You can tell he has loads of experience with being a DJ/MC. Very thankful for him. He helped the entire wedding move smoothly, and was super friendly. Highly recommend him for any wedding or event you’re having/planning.
I cannot say enough good things about Michael and his wife! They were absolutely fantastic. Weeks before our wedding our Day of Coordinator decided to close her business. So, we were without a coordinator. Michael and his wife jumped in from the very begging and coordinated the flow of both the ceremony and reception. Michael's wife even took it upon herself to make sure there were some Hors d'oeuvres set aside just for me and my husband. All our guests raved about him for the tremendous job he did. He really broke the ice with his announcements and speaking and he got many people out onto the dance floor that I didn't even think would get up and dance. Michael truly made the night something to remember.
Michael, and his wife, were an absolute joy to work with for my wedding. He went above and beyond from the first moment we spoke on the phone. I had a bad experience speaking with DJs prior to him so I was skeptical, but by the end of the first phone call he had won me over. He is professional, patient, funny, and the joy he has for his profession is infectious. He has an app he uses where you can input all the information for your wedding, music requests, do not plays, etc. It allows you to listen to suggested songs if you are stumped on music and save them to your list directly in the app. The accessibility of it and his communication are fantastic. He helped us determine a timeline for the ceremony and reception, worked well with our officiant and photographer, and when our coordinator didn't show up, his wife stepped in to help us line up and tell us when to walk. I wasn't sure what I wanted for music pre-ceremony and during dinner/reception, so he recommended songs and put together a great music playlist. He even surprised us at the reception with a slideshow/video of photos of my husband and myself from photos we had sent him. I appreciated how he was able to accommodate the needs of my grandfather having to leave early and making sure we were still able to make our dance without de-railing the entire timeline or it being apparent that it wasn't done when we planned. Michael went above and beyond for our wedding, more than I ever could have anticipated or expected; he is an absolute joy to work with and have as a part of your day. If I could go back and do everything over again, one thing I wouldn't change is him. If you need a DJ/MC for your wedding, call Michael.
Absolutely amazing! I can't recommend Michael Durham enough! Incredibly easy to work with and SO patient. He made all of my visions and ideas come to life with a slideshow I wanted to do. Anytime I felt overwhelmed he was so calm and reassuring. He truly made our wedding so much more special. By far my easiest vendor to work with! Always responded immediately if I had any questions. I literally could not have been happier with his services! The photo booth was a huge hit as well! Don't hesitate, he's great!
Michael was absolutely amazing on our special day. He listened to everything we wanted and exceeded our expectations. From the beginning in the planning phase all the way to our wedding. Communication was so easy and he always got back quickly. The music was great, all of our guests continued telling us how awesome Michael was. We cannot thank him enough for paying such great attention to detail and personalizing our day to be the best it could be. We are so truly grateful. If you want an amazing experience, do not hesitate to contact Michael.
Michael was fantastic. Our reception ran so smoothly thanks to his professionalism. He went above and beyond with special touches that made it so special!
Michael is WONDERFUL. We had to let go of our other DJ 3 days before our wedding because of unprofessionalism. Our vendor helped us find Michael. He gave it his all for 3 days to put together exactly what we wanted… he even put some personal touches and surprises in there for us which was awesome! He quickly became a family friend. He is so professional, personable, and so much fun. He kept our reception alive. We can’t thank you enough Michael for everything you did for our family and how much stress you took off us. I HIGHLY recommend you higher him… you will not regret it(:
Michael's attention to detail and investment into our story was incredible. I would recommend him 10x over!
Michael did an awesome job at our wedding. Even the process before was organized and smooth and we appreciated that so much. It was awesome to have him there at our wedding and appreciated him letting the bride (me) pick some songs as the night went on. Him and his wife are the best, so sweet, thank you for making our day special!
Michael was such a blessing in the wedding planning process and the wedding day. We had a couple of meetings with him before the wedding and we were really confident in our decision as our wedding dj. He exceeded our expectations and more and we got so many compliments on him. He’s the best in the business!!
Michael did a phenomenal job on our wedding. From the start we were hesitant to hire a DJ because we wanted a very low key reception. Eventually we decided that to get everyone on the dance floor it would be necessary. Michael talked with us about our vision for the reception and executed it perfectly. He was so kind and helpful throughout the process. The reception was smooth sailing. Michael made sure that guests got to the buffet and to cake at the perfect time. He directed everyone’s attention without making a show of it. He kept our toasts on track. Most importantly he took the mess of a Spotify playlist we sent him and turned it into the perfect reception playlist. He put just the right selection of songs at just the right times. He was great about taking requests from our guests. (A five year old cousin was overjoyed to have her favorite song played). When my mom sprung the idea of a mother-daughter dance in the middle of the reception he ran with it. And he helped me and my husband to get our secret first dance without it being a whole thing. Our reception was a dream come true in large part because of Michael. TL;DR Michael listened to our hopes and concerns and delivered the perfect reception. Cannot recommend highly enough.
Michael was a joy to work with from our very first zoom meeting his happiness was infectious. Michael was incredibly organized and involved in the planning process. He guided us every step of the way through from the initial planning phases to the wedding day. He even attended the wedding rehearsal, so we could work out any last minute kinks. During the wedding reception he did a great job judging the mood and the needs of the crowd to help keep the energy going. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone.
Michael was our DJ at our wedding last month and did a fantastic job. He had great music that got all ages on the dance floor. Along with his sound he had a great lighting package and even a cool new digital display. He was great to work with especially when all communication up to wedding was thru zoom calls. I highly recommend him for your wedding. You won’t be disappointed.
Michael was the DJ at our wedding last month, and let me tell you, he was awesome! We have had a countless number of guests tell us that our wedding was the best wedding they have ever been too, and that Michael was the one who made it so great. They loved how fun, and engaging he made the whole reception, and how they were never once bored. If you're looking to make your wedding and reception easy, unique, and unforgettable, use Patrick Michael Weddings. I promise you, you can't go wrong with them.
Michael ensured that each and every aspect of my best friend’s day not only ran smoothly, but also was enjoyable and memorable.
I’ve been to (and been in) many weddings where the memorable moments were just stressful and the participants seemed to be going through the motions.
Michael is able to keep everything moving along quickly and smoothly, but adds his own touch and expertise into all the right places which in turn enables the couple and those close to them to relax and take in the moment.
You’re not just getting entertainment through PatrickMichael Weddings, you’re getting a total enhancement of your big day.
We fell in love with Patrick Michael Weddings the moment we met them. Michael is amazing at what he does! I was worried things would be jumbled without a day of coordinator but Michael calmed my fears and said he’d take care of all that—and that’s exactly what he did! Thank you Michael for being apart of our big night! We truly couldn’t have had such a perfect day without you!
I cannot express how HAPPY my husband and I were with Patrick Michael Weddings! First off, Michael is truly a Rockstar and takes his job very seriously---BUT not too seriously! His energy, ideas, and laid back style really helped make our wedding day that much more special! My husband and I did a small destination wedding ---about 80 people---we were originally not going to have a DJ, but boy I am so happy we did! If you think about it, the DJ dictates the entire night! Our venue provided us with two options, and he specifically said for Patrick Michael Weddings "Now if you want someone who is going to bring the party, Patrick Michael Weddings is it!" We were sold! Michael offers so much that you can add to your reception to really make it special. My husband and I opted to keep it simple and low key, Michael honored that 100% --BUT added a touch of his flavor! The guests LOVED the bridal party introductions (we came up with the blurbs and Michael 100% took it from there! It was a hit!!!) My husband and I also did not have a wedding coordinator---worked out perfectly! Michael and his sweet wife Marisa acted not only as the DJ, but also lining everyone up for the ceremony and getting us all together for reception intros! I could seriously go on and on about how amazing Michael's services were! Not only is he a professional, he is kind and so personable! I would recommend him 100 times over again! Thank you again Michael for helping with our amazing day!!!
By far the best exclusive, all in one DJ. Very personalized services, extremely knowledgeable and easy to work with. They are very fun and friendly and definitely exceed all expectations!
Our wedding was so amazing due in large to Michael. We were planning from a distance and he video chatted with us for 2-3 hours one morning to discuss all the logistics and details of our big day. He has an online questionnaire that isn’t just song choices. He asks questions about the wedding party, your love story, your parents, etc. and uses that information during the wedding to make it very personal. He worked with me to make my father/daughter dance truly special and one that many of our guests enjoyed! He has so many unique ideas to make the day so special and different than any other wedding. He’s not just someone who stands up there and plays music, he makes the wedding personalized and memorable for everyone. I had many of our guests comment on how great he did. We also used his services for the photobooth, which was a huge hit! Michael was such a pleasure to work with....very professional and the best of the best. If I could find an excuse to work with Michael again in the future I absolutely would!
PatrickMichael Weddings was hands-down the best vendor decision we made for our wedding. From our very first conversation, it became clear that to Michael, DJing is not just a job, it's a lifestyle. He went out of his way to make our wedding day personal and stress-free and helped make memories that we will be laughing about for the rest of our lives. We cannot recommend this vendor enough!
Hands down the best decision we made for our wedding! In the middle of the hustle and bustle and nerves, Mike steps in and is a calm! He reassures you constantly that he has it and not to worry which is just amazing when you are moments away from ceremony time and you forgot something! He wasn’t the DJ for our wedding or just the entertainment, he was family! We absolutely loved working with him and Patrick Michael Weddings from the very beginning! We hope to never lose touch! We highly highly highly recommend them if you want what is best for your dream wedding!

It was an absolute pleasure working with Michael! He really took the time to get to know us and tell our story. He and his wife were a great team to coordinate the wedding day, and everything went smoothly. He really took to heart how we wanted our big day to be and the vibe we wanted at our reception. We chose to also do the uplighting with our package, which helped set the tone for our venue. In addition, he was able to navigate some difficult family relationships, and he handled it exactly how we asked him to. They might be a little more of an expensive option, but with everything they bring to the table, it is well worth the money! Michael wasn’t just our DJ - he was our wedding coordinator as well. We can’t thank him and his wife enough for making our day extra special!
Michael made our wedding day perfect! He is so fun and easy to work with. He is very detailed and professional. And he does so much more than just music, he made sure everything about the ceremony and reception flowed smoothly. Everyone commented on how great the music was and what an amazing job Michael did - and we wholeheartedly agree!! You will definitely not find a better DJ for your wedding.
My husband and I were married on October 7, 2017. Hiring PatrickMichael Weddings for our wedding DJ was one of the best decisions I made for our wedding; the DJ services were great (Michael did a wonderful job at reading the crowd and getting people on their feet), but it was their services beyond the music that made them so spectacular. They planned the entire day for us; they worked with our venue, as well as our other vendors, to create a day-of timeline to keep everyone on schedule. They also coordinated the rehearsal and the ceremony- it was like having a DJ and a DOC all in one! The best part about PatrickMichael Weddings is that they work diligently to make your wedding day personalized and unique to you. Patrick and Michael met with us several times before our wedding to help us plan, and for two of those meetings the drove two hours away from home to meet us in the college town where we were living. They want nothing more than to make the wedding planning process for their clients easy and enjoyable, and will go out of their way to make that happen. I would choose PatrickMichael Weddings again and again. Our wedding day went by flawlessly thanks to them and our team of vendors. Thank you guys for everything!
If you do not book PatrickMichael Weddings, you will be missing out! They were recommended to me by a coworker after her wedding and after meeting with Michael I knew we had found our DJ & *BONUS* Wedding coordinator! He will meet/talk/respond to you ASAP whenever you have questions and were so great with giving me advice and helping me plan my ceremony AND reception! Michael is an EXPERT! We still get compliments on how fun and personal our wedding was! 5 STARS ALL THE WAY! Thank you Michael for a perfect wedding day!
PatrickMichael Weddings made our wedding incredible! Michael was our DJ and went above and beyond to make the most important day of our lives unforgettable. We've been married for a month now and still get compliments on the entertainment!! The Love Story Michael put together for us was truly special and something we will always remember. Having the DJ be one of your favorite parts of your wedding day says a lot! If we could give more than 5 stars, we would. If you want your wedding entertainment to be spot on and personalized, hire these wonderful men! We are so happy we did!
My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Michael!! He was given such short notice (a week to be exact) and presented himself at the wedding as if he'd know us for a year!! He was more than professional and asked all of the questions he needed to ask to make sure our day was nothing other than perfect, and it was. We would recommend Michael or Patrick to any bride and groom for their wedding!!! Thank you guys so much!!
Michael was absolutely amazing from the time we started planning to our wedding day. We had a Mexican-American wedding and needed someone that could please both sides. He made it happen! Michael went above and beyond to make sure we had a very special day. We received so many compliments on how great our dj was.
After our wedding we, well as our parents,
received many comments, texts and calls about how much fun our wedding was! Much of that we can attribute to Michael and PatrickMichael Weddings! They made everything flow and kept us all organized! Caleb and I both are not ones to be public about our feelings and affection for each other but Michael presented it in such a way that we were comfortable. He made sure no detail was left untouched and did his job to the best of his ability to make our day special! He truly is the best in the business!
Patrick was so amazing at our reception. The party lasted for hours and everyone was dancing and having a great time. He brings a personal touch to the reception and makes it about the wedding couple AND the wedding party. It was amazing and I could not have asked for a more complete reception. He even made sure things that I did not want played were not played, things I did not want to happen, didn't happen. I wish I could relive that night because it was so, so amazing. And we are very, very thankful to have had Patrick as our DJ that night.
Michael Durham was amazing! Not only did he play the best music that my husband and I love but he went above and beyond the typical DJ standards. The epicness started when we first met. Michael was very professional and very helpful. He helped us realize the style of wedding we wanted and how to achieve that dream. Our ceremony music was beautiful and really good quality. Michael then had us write out our "love story" which was a beautiful touch to our reception. The special surprise was also really great; Zach and I really liked that part. Michael was always quick to respond to my email and very detailed with his work.
He was really good! :)
