rfectly incorporated our music preferences throughout the entire event, creating an amazing atmosphere that kept our guests dancing all night.
His app was a game-changer, making it super easy to plan all our song choices in advance and reducing the stress of decision-making. We also loved his sleek and modern setup, which fit beautifully in our venue without taking up too much space.
Mike went above and beyond with custom lighting, a personalized logo, and a photo booth that included printouts for our guests—a huge hit! His talent for mixing music and reading the crowd brought the perfect energy to our wedding. We’re so grateful for his professionalism and kindness and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top-tier DJ!

ole process of communicating our music “vibe” to him that much easier and he did an excellent job the night of! In addition, our videographer had unfortunately lost video footage due to technical malfunctions - Michael was able to share what he had captured during the night to help him compile an array of videos and pictures to create a new type of slideshow for us. On top of all of this, he had some special surprises for us on the night of - he had projected our names onto a lighthouse of the reception property AND had a t-shirt toss at the end of the night that was so much fun!! He is very willing to help assist with any ideas you might have and is extremely flexible. Overall we highly recommend Michael for any of your DJ needs. You won’t be disappointed!

From pre wedding prep to post wedding wrap up, Michael was there every step of the way going above and beyond accommodating and assisting with our requests, and made the entire process of song selection easy and fast with the use of modern apps. My wife and I are still recieving so many compliments from our guests praising how good the music was, how incredible the uplighting looked, and have already had couples reach out asking who we had for a DJ. Michael not only provided top tier music and lighting but also captured wonderful video from our ceremony to the dancing, and left us with a beautiful cinematic story to one day show our kids. Going with M.R.K entertainment will be the best decision you make for your wedding.

We received more video footage than anyone I know that hired a videographer and at the same quality. We highly recommend DJ Michael. He is professional and skilled at his craft. Thank you so much!

We worked with Michael for our non-traditional wedding format in June and we can’t recommend him enough! Unlike a traditional wedding, we did our wedding reception with friends on ...
the weekend and then did an intimate wedding ceremony with family the following Monday. Through it all, Michael was professional, responsive, and went above and beyond to make our days special. We had several conversations with Michael about the logistics leading up to it and he answered every question and even provided recommendations about things we should consider for the events. In addition to music, he also provided us with audio recordings of our ceremony and speeches, and even video footage which is something we’ll treasure forever. During the events themselves, Michael was so responsive to the energy of our guests and tailored the music accordingly which was so amazing — playing songs that were referenced during speeches made by our friends and dialing up the energy when people wanted to start dancing (which wasn’t planned). To top the cake, Michael’s DJ set up is stunning and so many of our family and friends commented how seamless it looked for our wedding reception. It blended in perfectly. Thank you so so much for making our wedding weekend so perfect; if you have the opportunity to book Michael I can’t recommend him enough!

ngs we had along the way. He was helpful with explaining the planning app to us, which was easy and convenient. You can really tell he takes weddings seriously and has fun with it. While we had a lot of songs picked out for the cocktail hour and reception, he was perfect with incorporating requests from guests as well as other songs we all enjoyed. His mics were perfect and the sounds was incredible throughout the ceremony, dinner, speeches, dances, and reception. He has a lot to offer than just DJ services. Everyone loved the personalized logo and had so much fun with the photobooth. We got compliments from all our of guests about how much fun he was and what a great job he did. His set up is amazing and went well with the decoration and vibe of our wedding. We would recommend him to anyone we know (and don’t know!) and would definitely use him again in a heartbeat.

We HIGHLY recommend Michael for his wedding DJ services! He was fantastic to work with and did an incredible job with our wedding.
What initially drew us to his wedding package wa...
s the comprehensive nature of his offerings, all for one package price. This included everything from a drone (though we couldn’t use it due to rain… bummer), GoPro video from the day from various angles, fun lighting for the reception, and projection and recording of our vows, among other things. We loved that he offered some complimentary video services especially since we did not have a videographer.
From our initial meeting, Michael made us feel comfortable and made the planning process super easy. The app that he uses to capture all of the information and song selections was easy and intuitive to use, allowing us to add details and songs throughout the the planning process.
Michael was super flexible with the ceremony arrangements, accommodating our decision to hold the ceremony outside even though it was drizzling. He kept everyone MOVIN’ & GROOVIN’ on the dance floor, and many guests commented that it was the most fun wedding they had ever been to. He even let me (the bride) mix a song as the DJ, and even though I had no idea what I was doing, it made for some fun and memorable photos.
We opted to rent his photo booth (which was an additional fee outside of his package… but SO worth it!), and it was a huge hit with our guests. The props he brought were unique and fun, and there was a line at the photo booth for most of the evening because everyone wanted in on the action.
Michael really knocked it out of the park for us, and we were thrilled with how everything turned out. We highly recommend him for DJ services!

At the ceremony he attached his own microphones to both my officiant as well as my husband. There was not one guests that couldn't hear the ceremony.
For our reception, he exceeded my expectations. Not only did his playlists and DJ skills come to full fruition- he set up a photo booth both at cocktail hour and the reception room that I saw guests using all night. Additionally, when he says he is good with lighting- he is not kidding. He utilized uplighting, dance floor lighting and everything in between that photographed beautifully and totally enhanced our party. He even independently created a dance floor monogram with our names on it which was beautiful.
I recommend Mike for any function without hesitation. Get him before he's gone.

For a full service, top notch and reasonably priced DJ experience look no further! From the moment we spoke to DJ Michael from MRK entertainment we knew we wanted to work with him....
He was personable, experienced, and truly focuses on your event first and foremost rather than having multiple events back to back. He provided a true DJ service, uplighting, photo-booth, and wedding games all for one price! We had multiple meetings with Michael where we were able to design the exact experience we wanted. We had requested Arabic, English and Spanish music and Michael was able to get everything in time for the wedding. I was especially impressed when he was talking about going as far as purchasing physical copies of the music in order to have the proper quality available. Everything was perfect on the wedding day and we could not have asked for a better experience. Do yourself a favor and go with DJ Michael with MRK entertainment for your wedding. You will not regret it!

So... you're trudging through review after review of every DJ in the New England area thinking to yourself "how can I find the best possible DJ for my wedding?!". Simple answer: y...
ou hire Michael with M.R.K. Entertainment and then breathe a huge sigh of relief.
From the get-go Michael was top notch at communication and answered all of our questions about exactly what we would be getting with his services. He offeres some outstanding packages that included his DJ services, the mirror photo booth (this thing RULES!), a video welcome recording kiosk for guests to leave us a short video during our wedding, and last but certainly not least some truly wonderful lighting that really transformed our venue into a stellar place to have a wedding.
Michael and his assistant Adrian we're an incredible team during our wedding and our guests had a blast dancing the night away as they spun hit after hit. M. R. K. has a very easy to use website where you can add in requested songs to be played during your night, as well as all of the music and cues needed for a ceremony. During the event he was nothing short of professional and did a fantastic job with MCing and keeping the party going!
I cannot stress to you enough how great an experience we had with Michael and M.R.K. Entertainment at our wedding and we would 100% suggest you hire him for yours.

I would have given him 5/5 stars, but there were some promises that he didn't keep. He had said he would send us a recording of our vows and photos from a photo booth. However, we did not pay for the photo booth and it was an "extra" he was just trying out so I can't fault him too much. It was just a bit disappointing for us after he offered them not to receive them - We are still getting guests asking us for the photo booth pictures to this day! Overall I would 100% recommend him to anyone who likes to dance and wants a high energy fun reception!

re unbelievable considering the service we got and the fun add-ons like the mirror photo booth! His website is easy to navigate and he found every song we put in a special request for. He helped us custom make our first dance song and I cannot thank him enough for that. He had our guest dancing long into the night because he is very good at reading the crowd. Everyone was impressed and raved about how much fun they had for weeks after the wedding. There really is no one better to work with!

Working with Micheal was awesome! He was so helpful throughout the wedding planning process. He gets to know you and what your vision of your special day is and really helps everyt...
hing run smoothly. Not only did he play great music that kept our guest on the dance floor all night but he kept everything on schedule and took so much stress off of us. He even kept the party going a little later than he was suppose to, free of charge! Picking Micheal as my DJ was my best decision! I can't say enough great things about our experience with Micheal , choose M.R.K. entertainment and you will not be disappointed!

M.R.K. Entertainment and DJ Matos made our wedding reception one to remember! DJ Matos was interactive with our guests, kept everyone dancing all night, took music requests AND all...
owed my husband and I behind the booth to play some songs! He was professional and informative and was there early to set up and help answer some last minute questions. They also have an online portal which is great for planning because it allows you to chose all the songs you want played and saves the list so you can keep adding at your own leisure. Not only does M.R.K Entertainment make planning easy but when the actual wedding day comes they are professional and make the day run smooth. They have the experience so you don't have to worry on your big day. We highly recommend them for your wedding!

e and met with us on a Sunday to talk through the day and show us how to use his very handy online platform, came with us to visit the venue (which was an old sailing club on Peaks Island) -- again on his own time -- to make sure he knew where all the outlets were and had the right equipment to accommodate our needs. Also, we had one of the only wedding ceremonies I've been to where everyone was mic-ed properly and you could actually hear the officiant and vows! This at an outdoor venue next to the ocean - not an easy feat. Our guests were dancing all night long, he had a great lighting display, and his #1 goal was to make us happy - mission accomplished! I can not recommend highly enough.

Working with Michael was such a pleasure! We knew one of the most important vendors a part of a wedding is the DJ/music. We met with Michael last July for our June 2017 wedding and...
he reassured us in so many ways. He plans ahead for any circumstance and is very knowledgeable in regards to weddings and entertaining people. We had a wedding of 165 people and there wasn't any point in the night when the dance floor wasn't crowded. He did such a great job playing the "must haves" and was very respectful in keeping away from the "do not play list." Michael was so fun to have around and was the perfect DJ/MC for our night!

Michael and his assistant DJ Adrian both did a fantastic job with the music at our wedding. Our reception was a total of 8 hours, but the time Michael and his team spent with us w...
as much longer than what we merely booked for music. They were very professional and went above and beyond examining our venue and ensured that an echo-y room (which we were quite nervous about!) had crystal clear music by the end of it. Michael especially went out of his way meeting with us in advance and making sure we got exactly the music we wanted. He was also vital in making sure that our reception --planned very quickly, and out of state, with many last minute surprises-- went smoothly. Our minds were going a mile a minute that day, but when we saw our video recently, with the guests dancing, and everyone having a great time--we knew we made the right the choice with Michael :) :)

g mine and my best friends song bohemian rhapsody) every song was perfectly placed. I received messages the day after from friends talking about how much they loved the music! The dance floor was filled all night and he gives so much attention to every detail on the wedding day! It's been 2 weeks and my dad still can't stop talking about how much he loved that the music played was fun for all ages. The uplighting and the little extra touches he adds on really made the atmosphere! Thank you so much Michael for making our day perfect! And oh so much fun!

Michael was responsive, engaged, and truly "got us" as a couple. He completely understood what we envisioned for our wedding and didn't try to upsell our low key style on any addit...
ional packages or lighting that we weren't interested in. He truly knows his stuff, has been in the business for a long time and can help you out if you are feeling overwhelmed with all of the music options and choices you have to make. On top being truly wonderful at what he does, he's a great guy that we enjoyed spending time with and getting to know! Can't beat that.

for our big day. He took the time to meet with us beforehand to go over the specifics of what we wanted. He played the guitar for our procession, first dance, and while the guests were eating dinner. He kept the dance floor full all night with our selection as well as all the wedding classics. Our friends and family all raved about how good it was to have a blend of live music in addition to recorded music. He gave us the personal touch we were looking for in our wedding DJ. Thank you Tim!
