Mike Blaufeld Boutique DJ Services & Uplighting

We really enjoyed having Mike as our DJ for our wedding. He is professional, responds quickly to emails, and is easy to work with. He plays his music by reading the crowd, which I found less stressful as the bride -- I did not have to create a wedding playlist. He played a variety of music to please the young and old, and the dance floor was full with guests of all ages. Most importantly, my husband and I had a great time and so did our guests!

Mike provided DJ services for our wedding in Luray, VA. We were impressed with Mike's professionalism from the first video chat meeting we had with him. We had some pretty specific requests for some of our songs and Mike executed them perfectly. We also had a very last minute change of our ceremony location site due to rain and Mike quickly shifted plans without any issue. His songs transitions during our reception were flawless and he did an excellent job reading the crowd. He had all of our guests - from our 90 year old grandparents to 2 year old nephews on the dance floor. We highly recommend him as a wedding DJ!

DJ Mike was awesome! He truly felt out the crowd and played all the right songs. I got married two weeks ago and every time I see a guest from my wedding they rave about how great the DJ was. He was very professional and put great care into his work. I highly recommend booking DJ Mike!

We are so happy that we had Mike Blaufeld DJ our July 2023 wedding in DC. Mike told us he would read the room and ensure the dance floor stayed packed, and he did just that! All our family and friends enjoyed a great party, and many told us it was one of the most fun weddings they had attended. "10/10 dance floor experience" a friend shared. Mike incorporated our Indian and Latin music preferences and was flexible and great to work with throughout our wedding day and in the weeks prior. We highly recommend Mike Blaufeld if you are looking for a packed dance floor and fun-filled party for your wedding!

Mike is fantastic to work with! He is incredibly communicative, listens to what the bride and groom actually wants, and most importantly - keeps the dance floor packed! Mike DJ'ed my sister's wedding a couple of years ago and without question knew that we wanted to work with him again. He makes the day go smoothly and comes prepared with everything needed for the ceremony + reception. He also puts the bride and groom at the center of attention - he does a really good job of making sure that it stays our day and what we want. Would absolutely recommend Mike to anyone!

I first had the pleasure of attending a wedding that Mike was DJ'ing for one of my friends. I was astonished at how packed the dance floor was, without any special announcements to get up off your butt and start dancing. Having him DJ my own wedding, a year later, was a thing of beauty. Everyone was having a good time and the dance floor was bumping. He's a friendly guy and knows his stuff!

Mike read the room perfectly, he had everyone dancing the whole time and there was no weird downtime or songs that didn't work for the party. Mike worked with us to make sure we had the exact versions of the songs for the specific dances, which was appreciated because they weren't common songs for those dances.

Mike was a spectacular DJ! He was extremely communicative, helpful, and professional leading up to our wedding. The music during the wedding was perfect. Beautiful music during cocktails and dinner, and fun music for dancing that got everyone on their feet. Our dance floor was full all night long with folks of all ages singing, dancing, and having a blast. He had really fun transitions between songs as well. He had a real talent for reading the room. Mike was also great at announcements and guiding guests through the night. We would highly recommend hiring Mike for your wedding!

DJ Mike just did my wedding a few weeks ago and he was great! He also did my sisters wedding and friends wedding in the past and he’s still got it! First, he did our ceremony which was great with beautiful classical music. I also enjoyed the music he played for he cocktail hour and dinner. It was so classy! During the dancing portion, he played all the songs I asked for on the pre-submitted list and really catered to the crowd which was mostly people in their mid-30s and 40s. He kept the evening going smoothly too. The uplighting he provided in the venue was also stunning! It really elevated the space and made it extra elegant for us. We recommend Mike!

Mike is fantastic!! He is the most professional, timely, and easy to work with DJ you will find. Mike worked with us every step of the way, and delivered on what he promised. Despite the fact that neither of our family are crazy dancers or party-goers, he kept the dance floor busy with a unique and appropriate mix of music. Definitely hire Mike if you're looking for an excellent DJ!

We hired Mike for our outdoor / back-yard wedding and were very pleased with him. He was very professional and brought many years of experience to the table. What we were especially impressed by was his ability to navigate between our music tastes, and the types of music that tend to work best at weddings. All transitions were seamless, announcements were timely, clear, and low-key, and he was very pleasant to work with. Our wedding was especially casual, and he adapted to our no-frills approach with ease. He coordinated well with our month-of planner and other staff.

We hired Mike for our wedding in Haymarket, VA. It was a fantastic experience working with him from start to finish. After an initial phone call, we knew that Mike was the perfect person to DJ our wedding and act as MC for the night. His professionalism came across right away, but also a great attitude that makes him such a pleasure to work with. Mike was incredibly responsive to our emails, which put our minds at ease early on in the process. On our wedding night, Mike handled everything expertly and kept the night on schedule. The music played got everyone off their feet and on the dance floor, which was very important to us. The music itself was of course great, but the mixes and transitions stood out in a very good way - it kept the energy up throughout the entire night! I distinctly remember the look on several of our guests' faces as the transitions happened, and the dance floor went crazy. Moments like these are just a piece of what Mike contributes to making the night so special and memorable. We highly recommend Mike to anyone looking for a DJ for your event!

We hired Mike for our March wedding in DC. From start to finish, Mike made the process easy and fun. He was incredibly easy to work with and extremely professional, every step of the way. Mike was truly the best, even accommodating us after a COVID postponement. I have been to weddings where there have been multiple sound issues, but Mike's equipment was top of the line, and the sound was perfect throughout the entire ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. We had many of our guests coming up to us throughout the night and after the wedding to let us know how great the music was. Mike does not just 'play' songs, but actually mixes and creates transitions, incorporating mash-ups that made the night feel like a dance club. A few of our engaged friends even asked us for his info so they could hire him for their weddings next year. Mike kept the dance floor full the ENTIRE night. We had so much cake left over because people did not leave the dance floor to get dessert. We highly recommend Mike for your next event!!

Mike is a true professional, but also incredibly down to earth. He answered all our questions in a timely manner, had a positive, relaxed attitude, and handled our big day smoothly and without complaint. I planned my entire wedding myself, with no experience, and I believe that Mike is the entire reason I got to relax and enjoy my reception. I put the evening in his capable hands and he was just phenomenal! He kept us on schedule, but was flexible as things changed and did not show any signs of stress. Our venue even asked for his name because they were so impressed with him. 100% recommend him to any bride or groom!

Working with Mike was great! At the initial meeting, he had lots of suggestions. He offered feedback for the time line. Due to COVID, we had multiple reschedules and throughout all of them he was pleasant, supportive and flexible. In the weeks leading up to the event, he checked in the confirm arrival time, our timeline, our selected songs and any last minute questions. On the day of, he arrived on time and helped to ensure we stuck to our timeline. He played music based on the crowds, He was an absolute pleasure to work with and I highly recommend him!

My husband and I chose Mike after one 20-minute intake call. We hadn't spoken to any other DJs, but after speaking with him and seeing his incredible reviews, we knew he would be perfect for our wedding. Throughout the planning process, Mike was patient and enthusiastic. He completely understood our music taste and, right before the wedding, we chatted for a long time and talked through every detail of the wedding. He suggested songs based on our preferences and made us feel so comfortable leading up to the wedding. On the wedding day, our dance floor was PACKED. All of our guests said the wedding ranked in their top 5 and servers remarked that they had never seen such a consistently crowded dance floor. Mike did an incredible job and we highly recommend him.

Mike was the DJ at my daughter's wedding at Bull Run Winery. She and her now husband had heard him at a wedding previously and wanted to have him for their wedding. He was great including the music for pre-ceremony, ceremony, cocktail hour and the reception dance. He also set up the mic for the outdoor ceremony. The entrance music was an unusual choice, but he delivered with perfect timing. The dance music was terrific. The bride and groom asked for types of music and he read the crowd and chose great options. The dance floor was always crowded! Really helped to make the reception a fun joyful event.

Mike was the DJ at our daughter's wedding in June. He was an integral part of the evening and his expertise with the music kept the dance floor hopping from start to finish. Mike worked behind the scenes with us to plan a special surprise for our "Father-Daughter Dance," providing a memory that we will treasure forever. We received many compliments from family and friend about the music selections for the whole evening. Our daughter and son-in-law couldn't be happier with Mike as DJ for their ceremony and reception.

Mike did a great job getting (and keeping!) the crowd on the dancefloor....everyone from our 7 year old flower girl to my 80 year old great aunt! The transitions between songs were seamless and we all had a blast dancing the night way. We were extremely happy with our decision to hire Mike for our reception!

The DJ was one of the most important venders to me. Mike was just great! I interviewed more DJs than any other venders. He wanted the autonomy to read the dance floor which I was a little nervous about but he was so right. Our dance floor was packed all night! If he noticed a song wasn't a hit he changed it quickly. The music was great with lots of variety. Mike himself was also polite, professional, and wonderful to work with. I highly recommend!

From the moment I emailed Mike inquiring about his availability, he was nothing short of professional. My husband is Military and did not live locally, Mike was Flexible and agreed to do a phone consult with the both of us when we were together so he could get a good feel for what we both wanted on our wedding day. We then again met with Mike before the wedding in person to nail down all the last minute details. Without him, I would have had no timeline for my wedding day. Let's be real. I had not a clue in the world what goes into a reception "timeline", Mike realized this and completely took care of it. His timeline for the night was so clear and detailed that the catering staff, photographer, and videographer all based their night off his document as well. He was so easy to plan with. Organization aside, our main goal for the wedding was to make it fun and have everyone dancing the entire night. We did not want people in their seats watching the party. Mike handled that with EASE. He ensured us that he plays his songs, based on the room. If he starts to play something that he notices the room loves, he plays more like that song. If he played something that people did not know or like he seamlessly faded out the song and started playing something else. We had a short list of songs that we really wanted to hear and he deliberately found the perfect time to play every single one of our requests. When I heard the song I asked for, I looked up excited to hear my song and there was Mike giving me a thumbs up. He cares about making you happy and giving you a great time on your wedding day. To this day, while people rave about many things from the wedding, the overwhelming comment is always about Mike. Our wedding was five months ago and I still frequently hear comments like, "That DJ was AMAZING!", "That DJ knew how to keep a room on the dance floor!", "I wish I had hired him for our wedding!" and the best one to hear, "That was the most fun wedding I have ever been to!" Mike truly made our wedding reception a blast. He is extremely professional,easy to work with, and he cares about what he is doing. I would recommend him to anyone.

Mike is the most talented DJ I have ever experienced. We attend all kinds of functions on all levels. Gala's, backyard parties, weddings, birthdays and the list goes on, and nobody tops this guy. He listens to what you want, makes great recommendations and makes it happen. My daughter just got married this past weekend and we had all ages attending, seniors down to 6 year olds. He had something for everybody and kept all on the dance floor. Even the pre-dance music was appropriate with volume and genre. There wasn't a time during the night that there wasn't a large group of dancers on the floor. I'm 64 and I don't think I sat down once. He was timely and professional when making announcements and very accommodating. He was extremely attentive to detail, following the bride and grooms instructions on play lists as well as being able to accommodate requests. Truly amazing gentleman with a great personality to match. I can't imagine using anybody else! Top notch, real quality a gentleman with a great selection of music and a solid sound system. Strongly recommend!!!

Mike was the first DJ we spoke to for our wedding and we knew right away we didn't have to look any further. Mike is very confident in his abilities and his equipment and it's clear to see why. Mike has a ton of experience and gave us great recommendations during the planning stage. At our wedding, he kept everything on track and was flexible when we added a speech at the last minute and had to change the timing of events during the reception. He also did uplighting at our reception which gave the reception a really fun vibe. We liked that Mike was the one we had the planning sessions with and he was the one to DJ our wedding, not like some of the bigger companies that send a random DJ. We received a ton of compliments on the DJ at our wedding and a friend even asked for his information for her wedding. Go with Mike, you won't regret it!

Mike was one of the last wedding vendors we booked, and after reading his glowing reviews online, he seemed like “the guy.” We couldn’t have been more right! If I could give Mike 6 stars on this site, I would. If you live in the Northern VA/D.C./MD area, and you don’t hire Mike to be your DJ, you are making a huge mistake! Mike met with us a few weeks before the wedding to talk through logistics of the evening and through some of our “do not play” song requests. We were at first skeptical, because Mike does not take song requests (He will take about 10 requests if there are songs you have to hear at your wedding/event). We decided to trust Mike and not give him any requests. We let him do his thing. I cannot emphasize enough that our dance floor NEVER had a dull moment. Mike read the room and played songs that he knew our guests would dance to. Mike played song after song after song. There was never a break between songs – one song flowed seamlessly into the next! He didn’t interrupt the music with unnecessary announcements – you never even noticed he was there throughout the dance portion of the evening! I overheard guests while they danced, saying: “I have to go to the bathroom, but I just can’t miss the next song!” Forget the photobooths, and just hire Mike to keep your guests dancing all night long! The multi-color/disco uplighting lit up and changed to the music, adding to the fun. When he turned that on, our guests literally gasped. My maid of honour had a lot of guests telling her how amazing the DJ was! Mike was easy to work with the whole way through. He always let us know when he received our payments, and answered e-mails the same day I sent them. I wish every wedding I went to would hire Mike, because then I know it would be a blast! Guests told us it was one of (if not the most fun) weddings they have ever been to. I know a huge part of this was thanks to Mike!

From our first phone call, Mike was amazing to work with. He was impressively responsive, and truly helped shape our day-of timeline with his expertise. He gave us advice on what event would work at what point in the night, and everything went off without a hitch. We could tell he takes a lot of pride in his work, and he took special care to make sure everything from our ceremony music to name pronunciations for intros were perfect. From the get-go, we were confident in his experience and ability to read a crowd and apart from our "special songs" we gave him pretty much free reign with our playlist. The dance floor was packed all night and everyone stuck around until the very end! We've received so many compliments on Mike and are so happy we hired him for our wedding!

WOW! I cannot even begin to explain how amazing Mike is!! We got SO many compliments from guests saying that we had the best DJ. DJ Mike was able to keep our party going until the very last song. There was truly not a moment where the dance floor was not packed! Mike not only took care of music, but he also helped with the wedding timeline, made announcement, and kept our reception running smoothly. You need him at your wedding!!

Like most couples, we felt entirely overwhelmed by the prospect of choosing our vendors – But Mike made our DJ decision easy! We initially loved that he had the ability to provide music and mics for an outdoor ceremony, but from our first phone call with Mike, we could tell that he was well-organized and detail oriented in a way that made us feel really well-supported and more comfortable with the planning process. Moving forward, Mike spoke with us by phone, through email, and even organized a meet-up in person in order to lock down and discuss more details about the wedding to help the entire event go smoothly. He was incredibly responsive, helpful, and provided guidance as questions came up along the way. Our venue was very rural and many of our plans were weather-contingent, but Mike was an absolute pro and his extensive experience with providing wedding DJ services helped us create manageable plans to cover all of our options. From the ceremony (which did get to be outdoors!) to the reception, Mike helped everything go perfectly. So many of our guests have contacted us to tell us how much they specifically enjoyed the music and dancing – From the first to the last song, our dance floor was absolutely packed! Wedding planning often feels like a team sport, and Mike is definitely someone you want on your roster. We wholeheartedly recommend Mike to all couples planning their own exciting day.

We had a great experience working with Mike for our wedding! He was completely attentive and responsive during the planning process. He created an awesome playlist for our wedding; multiple guests told us afterwards how much they enjoyed the music selection!

Mike is the absolute best!! We couldn't have asked for a more personal, fun, and knowledgeable DJ for our wedding. He has been in the business for over a decade and you can certainly tell-he exuded professionalism from our first encounter with him. He took the time out to call us when we first expressed interest, he met with us in person less than 2 months before our wedding to go over song choices, bridal party names, order of ceremony, etc. He even took the time out to learn the phonetic spelling of certain last names which I think just goes above and beyond in his attention to detail. Finally-we felt like we could really trust him with his music selections. We honestly had very few songs selected and just let him run the show and it was the BEST.PARTY.EVER!! He never the music break, everything flowed perfectly, there were no awkward pauses and he had great suggestions for us in the planning process. The uplighting services he provides are a huge plus too- if you're thinking of hiring a DJ in the DMV area, Mike is your guy!

Mike was an amazing wedding DJ. He knows exactly what type of songs to play to keep the party grooving all night long. He played a mix of songs for both baby boomers and millennials, and most of the 'older' songs were high-energy remixes. My parents were delighted at how many songs they knew! The crowd loved our DJ and the dancefloor was packed all night. Mike did not need any direction from us and we were happy to defer to his expert opinion on when to transition the music. He also listened very carefully to us during our planning phone calls about what we wanted, and he kept the schedule of events during the wedding going exactly on time. He was an excellent master of ceremonies, and he brought all the equipment we needed for the ceremony, speeches, and dancefloor. Thanks for helping us throw a truly fun party that our guests will remember!

Super responsive and very easy to work with. Mike's planning questionnaire was very in depth and made us think of things we hadn't even thought about yet. Great music selection and kept everyone dancing!

We could not be happier about working with Mike as our wedding DJ! He is proactive, organized and professional. Prior to the wedding, Mike worked with us on selecting processional/recessional music and made sure we were comfortable with the timeline and selections. On our wedding day, he did an incredible job playing the music we liked and making sure all of our guests had a great time on the packed dance floor. Additionally, he was an excellent master of ceremonies and absolutely nailed it with the uplighting! I'm so happy we found Mike! He made our day special and was an absolute delight to work with!

Mike did an EXCEPTIONAL job for our wedding. The entire process from the first phone call to dancing the night away at the wedding flowed so seamlessly. Mike is extremely knowledgeable, and you can tell that he has been in the business for many years. For our wedding Mike took care of the ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and uplighting. I only requested a handful of songs, but my one big goal was to have everyone on the dance floor all night. Mike exceeded my expectations. He was able to read the crowd so well, and played songs that everyone could sing and dance to. His uplighting was beautiful. Looking at our wedding photos, the shades of pink for the reception are elegant while the vibrant blues and reds during the dancing kept everyone on the dance floor. All of our guests are still talking about how much fun they had dancing, and two cousins have already asked for Mike's contact for their upcoming weddings. If you want a stress free, professional, DJ guru then I would definitely go with Mike!.

If you are searching for a phenomenal DJ that will make your wedding the most fun day possible and remembered by your guests for years to come, look no further!!! Mike is a truly fantastic DJ, so kind, and very easy to work with. He made planning a breeze (and kept us on track, as we definitely needed the extra help leading up to the day). In addition, he happily accommodated a very important addition to the music scene with a family member playing a few songs at the wedding. He coordinated that whole part seamlessly with the rest of the evening and helped my family member to plan it- above and beyond. The music at our reception was UNBELIEVABLE. I have a feeling our guests will remember the dancing for a long time to come as we all danced the night away! Mike is an absolute joy to work with and so skilled at what he does. Thank you so much for the night of our lives!

My now husband and I cannot express how much we appreciate all the hard work and time Mike spent with us for our wedding. We had no idea how to even write out a time line for our wedding day, but that didn't phase Mike one bit. He helped us from picking out songs for the cake cutting to making a list for our ceremony order to planning out our time line. Our wedding was Harry Potter themed and Mike did such a great job using music from the movies for our ceremony and entrance for the reception hall. He even played the parody song "Dark Lord Funk" for us. The music Mike played during dinner was so nice and relaxing and I even had guests complimenting his choices. Once the dinner was over the dancing began. He started out with an easy dance for the first two songs, but I asked him to kick it up a notch and the party didn't stop till the venue closed for the evening. Everyone was on the dance floor having an amazing time the whole night. Our wedding was a few weeks ago and I still have friends and family telling me how much fun they had dancing all night. Thank you so much for making our big day such a success and filled with so many great memories.

Mike is honestly the best ever! He worked with us every step of the way to ensure our wedding went off without a hitch, he was the vendor I had the most confidence in throughout the entire planning process. We had a situation with our venue regarding the music volume, and Mike gave us fair warning (before the venue even mentioned it) and worked with us and the venue to ensure things got worked out. Mike has all the equipment he needs for ceremony and reception ( which was awesome because we didn't have to rent them) & we did up-lighting through him which really helped with the vibe we were going for! The music was phenomenal, our guest were dancing the entire evening- he knows how to keep the party going! I can't say enough great things about Mike, thanks for making our wedding so wonderful!

We had a multi-racial, multi-ethnic, and multi-generational wedding reception in the middle of the afternoon. Mike had everyone on the dance floor and a good time was had by all. His talents, however, are more than just being a superb DJ. He was our sound man during the 45-minute Catholic wedding ceremony, and he suggested and provided stunning up-lighting for the wedding cake and reception head table. We feel fortunate that Mike was available to be our DJ and are very pleased with his services. Well done, Mike!

Mike is fantastic at his job! Do not hesitate to book him. Most of the planning took place while my husband and I were abroad. Regardless, Mike was thorough and very professional. Our guests raved about the music and the dance floor was packed the entire time. Thank you so much Mike!

Where do we even begin with how FANTASTIC Mike was at our wedding? He promised us the night of our lives, and boy did he deliver! From our first call with him, Mike guided us through the reception process, helping us with our timeline and suggesting songs for every part of our big day. He took the time to get to know us and our tastes, and he made sure the music reflected exactly what we wanted. Our dance floor was full the entire night, and we’re still getting compliments on the music from our reception! If you’re looking for a DJ, be sure to book with Mike- you won’t regret it!

We are in awe of Mike's ability to control the venue, and read the room! He was able to bring the entire reception to the dance floor and keep them there for 3 hours! Mike met with us a month before and talked through his plan. He was able to suggest where the DJ booth should be set up and answer all questions we had. We would highly suggest that you let him choose the music! As stated, he kept the dance floor going continuously for 3 hours without any suggestions from us. He can just read the room and know what to play! We still get compliments about how much fun the wedding was, especially the music and dancing. If given the chance, you should definitely book Mike for your next event. I could not say enough great things about him!

Would absolutely recommend Mike as your wedding DJ with zero reservations. Mike was our DJ for our Carnegie Science wedding in June of 2018, and one of the best vendors we had the pleasure of working with. He was kind, professional, and quick to respond throughout the ENTIRE process. He played perfect music during our seated dinner, and kept the party fun and upbeat during dancing. Everything went off perfectly with Mike, from the introductions, the first dance, the toasts during dinner, and an incredibly fun dance party. We cannot recommend him highly enough.

Mike was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. To begin, he was so easy to work with and made picking songs and scheduling the wedding so easy. My husband and I are not great at picking out music, especially the kind that others would want to listen to (Punk and Indie are definitely not for a wedding!) and Mike helped so much. He played us multiple songs and great versions of the songs for the ceremony and the reception. He took some of the music we really like are worked it great into the dinner then did his thing during the dancing, while still respecting my desire to not have 2010 and later top hits that I despise from the radio. He really listened to everything I wanted and made it an amazing night. Many of our friends told us during and days after the wedding how awesome of a DJ Mike was. He got people on the dance floor who would NEVER have danced. The uplighting was also incredible. He stuck to blues and greens (the colors of our wedding) during dinner and then switched it up to move with the music which made the dancing even better. I listened to the knot when I found Mike, and you really should too! He's worth every penny.

Mike was professional through and through. He helped make a plan and stuck to it. Although we didn’t have a lot of dancing, the music was fantastic.

Mike was a joy to work with from the beginning. You can tell he's been doing this for years and he's very professional. Everyone had fun, enjoyed themselves and danced the whole night. The lighting was beautiful, everything was timed perfectly from the ceremony to the first dance and the parent dances. We couldn't have asked for better :) I highly recommend Mike's DJ services for your special occasion

Mike was the best! Everyone at our wedding had a great time and he kept the dance floor packed all night. He had great mixes of all of your favorite songs, was accommodating when we asked him to play some cultural songs and required little to no guidance. We gave him a general idea of what we wanted and told him to play what he thought would be best, and we were not disappointed. I would highly recommend Mike!

Mike came recommended to us from a couple of friends. After meeting with our first potential DJ, we were a bit discouraged. Then we met with Mike and he put our minds at ease. Mike is incredibly friendly, easygoing, and flexible. His confidence in his own abilities assured us that he was the DJ we wanted for our wedding. Leading up to the wedding, we gave Mike a list of songs that we wanted him to play. The rest, however, we left up to him and his professional expertise. This was probably one of the best decisions we made and I highly recommend you do the same if you go with Mike. Mike had the dance floor packed from the time the reception began to the end of it (minus dinner, speeches, parent dances, obviously). My 90-year old grandmother was even out on the dance floor!!! At the time of writing this review, we are a little over a week removed from the wedding and I am still receiving texts and emails from family, friends, and even our other vendors (!) commenting on what a fun party it was. I have to give all the credit in the world to Mike for setting the tone with the music and keeping the dance floor packed. I can't recommend Mike highly enough. 5-stars doesn't feel adequate enough to convey the job Mike did at our wedding. While I'm sure there are other great DJ's out there, Mike has to be the hands-down best! I will certainly be recommending him to all of our friends in the future!

Mike was our DJ for our October wedding in Alexandria, VA. If you want a party, Mike Blaufeld is your guy! He knows how to keep people on the dance floor without the cheesy antics of most wedding DJs. We had the perfect mix of classics with today's hits to keep people dancing until the last song. We also used his uplighting service which completely transformed the ballroom space into a beautiful romantic setting. Highly recommend him without any hesitation!

Let me start this review by saying Mike is excellent at what he does! We had such an incredible time at our wedding and loved every song Mike chose. We were on the dance floor from start to finish, which is exactly what we wanted! I booked Mike after an hour long phone call just discussing his DJ methods. A year later, we met with Mike and he was more knowledgeable than I could have imagined. He helped us with our timeline & organization, was willing to work with our hopes to have a fun & relaxed event versus your more traditional event, & really went above and beyond to make us feel like he had everything ready for our big day - and he most certainly did! I will continue to recommend Mike to family & friends!

You have to book with Mike. I love him he is like a part of the family now, he did my moms wedding and he also did mine. I can't even express how helpful, kind and accommodating Mike is. I knew that if i had questions or was nervous or confused about something I could call him or email him day or night and he would get back to me ASAP with the answers and calming words. Mike took so much time to sit with us and make sure we were going to get everything that we wanted on our big day and he really delivered! The night ran smoothly thanks to him and the dance floor never died because he can really read the room and know what people want and what they will enjoy hearing and dancing to! Book him...seriously you will not regret it. I am also saying this as a truly harsh reviewer of most things.

It was truly a pleasure working with Mike. We interviewed multiple DJs before we spoke with Mike and we immediately got a vibe from him that we really liked. In addition to liking his style as a DJ, we appreciated that he is willing to help with wedding planning as well. He gave us input on multiple iterations of our timeline and even offered to make it for us from scratch if we wanted. He’s also very organized and has a very helpful planning form that he helped us fill out. He gave us some great suggestions for our ceremony music and other key songs throughout the night since we didn’t really know where to start (first dance, cake cutting, etc). He was always very responsive to emails and was overall very easy to work with leading up to the wedding. On the day of the wedding, he delivered just as he had described in our first meeting. The ceremony music was very good and we received multiple compliments about it. When the dance floor opened, he started with some oldies to get the older guests involved and smoothly worked his way up to newer music. He had really good transitions between songs and there was a good rhythm going from one song to the next. We’ve been to weddings where the combination of songs feels random and it definitely makes the dance floor lose energy. That was never the case with Mike as he kept the dance floor packed all night and was able to keep multiple generations happy throughout. He was really good at reading the crowd, and my parents said they really appreciated that he played music that they enjoyed dancing to. My wife and I really appreciated that he adhered to our do not play list even though I know some of my friends were trying hard to get him to play one song from it. We also appreciated that he did all the necessary announcements, but never got on the mic just for the sake of talking. Overall, we couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Mike. The main qualities we were looking for from our DJ was someone that was helpful with planning and that kept the dance floor crowded all night. He did an excellent job in both areas and we highly recommend him!

I was referred to Mike by a friend who had gotten married and there is no doubt why he's so highly rated. From our initial contact to our wedding day, Mike was very responsive and gave us great input. Not only did he guide us through our timeline, he was there to guide us through our wedding day (along with our planner) by giving us a quick heads up for each step throughout. The day really does go fast but he helped us cover everything that was important to us. He helped with song selections and helped me find the perfect version of the song I used for my (bridal) processional. We are a couple in our 40s with older, mostly married guests and he really tailored everything to us and our guests. He suggested we do an Anniversary Dance and days later we were still hearing how much guests enjoyed it. Our guests also mentioned how easy he was to approach and took requests. If you are looking for a dedicated DJ you can't go wrong with Mike.

Mike was an amazing DJ for our 3-31-17 wedding!!! We couldn't have asked for anyone better because he was the BEST! He kept in touch with us throughout the entire process and helped my nerves by having a full timeline ready and was willing to help as much as possible on the big day. If you want an incredible DJ, hire Mike - you will NOT regret it!!

Hands down the BEST wedding DJ in the DMV. Our wedding venue, the Kimpton Morrison House, recommended him since he is familiar with the space and is so experienced. DJ Mike is the best wedding DJ out there and definitely worth every penny! He is very professional and takes pride in his trade. He made a detailed timeline and basically ran the event. Because DJ mike was organized and professional, I did not need to hire a separate wedding planner/coordinator. I had a small wedding with 55 guests and initially had a fear that my reception would be boring or that people would not dance. EVERYBODY danced.. the whole night. Ermahgawd- It was so much fun! We decided to get the uplighting for the ceremony and reception- it was totally worth the cost. The ceremony uplighting was soft natural light that set a classy ambiance without the need for any other pricey decorations. The uplighting for the dinner was also soft and natural (candlelight). Then once it was time for dancing, the lighting changed and it was like a night club the rest of the evening. So many of my guests said they loved the DJ and had so much fun dancing! We definitely created some unforgettable memories thanks to DJ Mike!

Mike is fantastic. He was very responsive and easy to contact. He was in charge of the music at our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, and he did everything so well. On the day of the wedding, I actually found Mike to be a calming influence in the middle of a lot of insanity, and I am so grateful to him for that. He played both what we requested and what was perfect to get folks up and dancing at the reception without resorting to any "cheesy" songs. He even made sure to walk around and find both me and my husband when a song that we really wanted to slow dance to at the reception was about to come on. That is still one of our favorite memories of the night, and we could have missed if Mike wasn't so attentive! We also contracted with him for uplighting, and his suggestion on lighting color gave the room the effect we were looking for. He's a great talented guy who loves (and is good at) what he does. Book him!

There's a reason DJ Mike has 5 stars--he is the best! I was looking for an independent DJ, I didn't want to go with a company and have someone randomly assigned to me. I knew from the first conversation that Mike was the perfect fit for the type of party I wanted. He was always responsive, and sat down with my fiance and I to plan out the timeline and go over the songs we wanted to hear. He did a great job of playing softer music for cocktail hour and dinner and then building up to dance music. There was never a moment where people were not dancing. He mixed in Unchained Melody, and it was so touching to see some of the older relatives dancing with their spouses like they were teenagers. Go with DJ Mike, you will not be disappointed!

My fiancé and I booked Mike as the D.J. for our wedding this past July 16th. From the minute that we met with him in the summer of 2015, we knew that we'd made the perfect choice. Throughout our wedding planning, Mike was consistently the most organized and responsive of all of my vendors. No stone was left unturned in our pre-wedding meetings and he helped us to remember to discuss every possible detail related to our ceremony music, the reception timeline, and the reception music. On the day of the wedding itself, Mike arrived and set up early, was ready to consult with our officiant and our readers, and was in the right place at the right time throughout the entire event. (It helped tremendously that he'd worked with our officiant and photographers before!) A microphone was seamlessly available whenever it was needed and he worked perfectly with my day-of coordinator to make sure that the events of the evening transitioned smoothly. Last but certainly not least, Mike completely understood what we and our guests wanted in terms of music. He paid attention to what got people on the floor and was respectful of our Please Play and our Please Don't Play list. His expertise ensured that the evening was a complete success and a party to remember. I can't recommend him enough!

Mike is a fantastic DJ! He is extremely organized and professional. The dance floor never had a dull moment. I felt confident that everything would go smoothly from his experience, and it did. Highly recommend!

Mike was outstanding. Words cannot express how grateful we are to have had Mike at our wedding. We are pretty simple people and didn't want to over splurge on anything, but we knew that the the DJ can seriously make or break a wedding. After reading previous reviews and meeting with mike we felt confident in hiring him. We didn't know just how awesome he would make our wedding day. We have received countless comments on how awesome the day was with a great tribute to the DJ. Most of the night, literally everybody (4 years old to 85) were dancing on the floor. It was incredible. Not only did he help by being an incredible DJ, but he also helped to coordinate our day, came to a venue appointment with us to check out the space (which we felt was above and beyond anything we expected), and gave us great advice throughout planning. Thank you, Mike! You will forever hold a place in our hearts!

DJ Mike was worth every penny! We wanted a DJ that knows what they are doing and can read a crowd appropriately. He promised us he would keep the dance floor packed and he delivered! (We had a 5 hour reception and at no point was the dance floor empty). DJ Mike is very professional and really knows what he is doing. He kept the timeline of our reception in perfect check. The up lighting he provided at our venue and his sound system were great! Throughout all of our interactions with Mike he left us with no worries at all about what he would provide and that it would be great. He will take you through the entire reception timeline and make sure he understands what you want and how it should flow. He knows weddings well and can provide advice when you need it. We highly recommend Mike if you want to pick a DJ and not have to worry about what you will get!

Mike was the glue that held our wedding together all night long! Mike was the best choice for us - he was so organized, super friendly, and on top of everything. I met with him several times and he was in constant communication with me regarding the wedding. The night of, Mike did not only act as our DJ, he helped us with any issues we had with our venue, the staff, and the timeline. He checked in with us several times throughout the night. We felt very well taken care of. Furthermore, Mike's music mix was perfection! He played all of the songs I had requested and added in many, many more that fit with our "vision!" I have never seen a wedding where every single guest was on the dance floor the entire evening. His professionalism, positive energy, and enthusiasm was the perfect choice for our wedding!

Mike was the best DJ we could ask for. We met a few times and he was very accommodating since we lived in another state. He was very diligent to make sure he had all the detailed information he needed for our wedding. He is very friendly and great to work with. The music at the reception was perfect the whole night. The music choices were on par and the noise level was perfect-not too loud that no one could talk or hear what others were saying. I had quite a few guests say that ours was the only wedding where the dance floor was crowded the entire time.

We were recommended DJ Mike's services through a friend who had recently gotten married herself. It was the perfect selection. The first thing Mike promised was that his skills at sound looping and feeling the crowd's energy would ensure that he kept the party going the entire evening. And he wasn't wrong - our guests could not stop talking about the show/party Mike put on! People never stopped dancing as Mike churned out and connected hit after hit. Even the biggest sticks-in-the-mud were on their feet bustin' a move. A close friend who only sort-of likes to dance would comment, "OK, I'll take a break after this song is over." And then the next song would start and my friend would be jumping up and down yelling, "THIS SONG IS AWESOME!!!!" In short DJ Mike knows how to keep a crowd going. On top of that, Mike is just a super personable guy who respected every single song request we had while suggesting great numbers for any other moments we needed, including cake cutting and dinner music. He's extremely organized and worked well with our wedding planner, Susan Smith. He's responsive on email and phone and was willing to travel to see our venue. In short, Mike's value and pricing cannot be beat. He is worth every penny. Could not recommend him more - YOU MUST HIRE DJ MIKE.

Mike's reviews here are all true. He was awesome, very attentive and truly seemed to care about our wedding. When we first met with Mike, he told us he did this for a living and promised if we went with him he would make it a night to remember. He far surpassed our expectations. It was a killer dance party, Mike read the crowd perfectly. He checked on us several times throughout the day, but was never annoying about it. He handled last minute changes and minor incidents like a pro. I actually felt bad I wasn't able to high five him before my bride and I ran off to our limo. If you hire Mike as your DJ you will not be disappointed. I'm sad the party is over!

Mike was awesome and really fun to work with. My fiance and I met with him twice before the wedding and I spoke to him on the phone several times. He had great ideas and suggestions and actually seemed to enjoy the planning process as much as I did. He put together a timeline for us for the wedding day and then basically ran the show. I didn't have to worry for a second about the flow of events on the day of the wedding. He played great music that was fun to dance to and appropriate for the event. At the end of the wedding I was actually kind of sad to say good bye because he had been so great throughout the entire experience! I cannot say enough good things about Mike and his services and would highly highly HIGHLY recommend him!!!

Mike was so great to work with. Professional, prompt, engaging, and FUN (which was so important to us!) Mike did the music for our ceremony and reception as well as provided up-lighting. We provided all of our songs in advance and Mike was able to capture every song we requested. He was extremely responsive via email and phone and was willing to meet in person whenever we requested. During our wedding he kept the dance floor packed all night. He was able to transition songs without stopping which, in our opinion, kept people on the dance floor longer since there were no awkward pauses. Everyone at our reception commented on what a great DJ we booked, and we have to agree. As for the uplighting, the room looked amazing. Thanks for everything DJ Mike!!

Mike was the DJ for our daughter's wedding on 22 Aug 2015. We have nothing but superlatives to say about Mike Blaufeld. Mike was professional, organized, prepared and a pleasure to work with. He accommodated our music requests up to the last minute. The wedding was a great party in large thanks to Mike's selection of music. Although we gave him the types of music we liked, he was able to expertly read the crowd and adapt to their likes. We didn't need tables or chairs, because everyone was on the dance floor all night. If anything, we needed a larger dance floor, all thanks to Mike and his expert selection of music. We would highly recommend Mike to anyone looking for a DJ. Parents of the Bride.

We contracted with Mike Blaufeld for our daughter's wedding several months before the wedding date. Mike was the most professional vendor we contracted for the wedding reception. We chose Mike because he is an independent DJ, and he was on the preferred vendor list for our wedding reception venue. Mike answered many questions we had during our phone interview. He responds quickly to email. The bride and groom met with Mike a couple of times before the wedding and they had very favorable reviews after meeting with him. Our day-of coordinator the day of the wedding raved about Mike and how easy he is to work with. We highly recommend Mike Blaufeld as a DJ for a wedding or any event. 5 Stars + !!

We were struck when we first were looking for a DJ by how many positive reviews Mike has on so many wedding websites. Those reviews are well deserved! Mike is such a professional. When you talk to him, he clearly takes so much pride in his work. We are convinced that nobody will work harder to make your wedding special and FUN. One thing that Mike prides himself on is being able to "read the room" when it's time to dance. While we did have specific songs we wanted for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and first dance, we completely trusted him to choose the music to get our guests out on the dance floor and keep them there. He absolutely delivered. Guests who were usually reluctant to dance at all ended up dancing the entire night. Our advice is that if you hire Mike (which you definitely should), trust him to know what music to play when it is time to dance. You will not be disappointed.

I cannot say enough how much I enjoyed working with Mike. From the first time we spoke at my consultation call he made me feel at ease and that using him for our wedding was the right choice. He was very personable yet professional. He is so responsive and answered any and all of my questions within hours of me firing off an email. He went above and beyond by helping me with my wedding day timeline. Most importantly he did a great job at our wedding! I had guests telling me that they loved his music selection and by the amount of people on the dance floor, knew they were enjoying themselves. If you are looking for a DJ who will go above and beyond for you Mike is your guy!

Mike was an amazing DJ. His communication was unlike any vendor I've worked with - always prompt with responses and provided lots of great detail and always answered my questions. At the wedding, he was early and looked professional. The sound was perfect - our guests could hear everything during the ceremony, and during the reception, the music wasn't too loud, which sadly I've experienced at a few weddings. The music was GREAT. The mixes were really fun, and the music was upbeat when it needed to be, and slower when our guests needed a break. The music really "made" the evening, and we would recommend Mike to anyone looking for an awesome DJ for their event!

From our first phone conversation with Mike, we were confident that he would be perfect as our DJ. That feeling only got stronger when we met him in person! He understood what we wanted and what we didn’t want. He asked questions about details we hadn’t thought of and developed a perfect timeline. The other vendors at our reception all mentioned how great it was to work with him. Most importantly, the music was fantastic and the dance floor was never empty. It is obvious that Mike knows all types of music and he was masterful at using different types at different times (cocktail hour, dinner hour, early dancing, late night dancing). Our family and friends danced until the very last song and they all raved about what an amazing DJ Mike was. He is an expert at reading the crowd and keeping them dancing! We wanted a dance party and that is exactly what Mike gave us! We will absolutely hire Mike again if we have another celebration that calls for a DJ! Gary and Helen Wolfe
