Music Man Entertainment

ar better then we have ever heard in the past or expected. Steven gave our wedding the elegance we wanted then turned it to the party we needed. 10/10 must have!

hrough the entire reception nor does he end up on the dance floor with the mic or break dancing. If you are interested in a photo booth, Mike also offers this service with a separate attendant who was also professional. Our guests had a blast with his mirror photo booth & the bride & groom left with a book filled with a copy of every photo taken. So fun to look at the day after! I can’t recommend Mike enough.

the day of the wedding, all we wanted was a dance party and that's exactly what we got! He continuously checked in with us throughout the night to make sure everything was flowing as it should and that we were happy with everything. My husband and I had a last dance at the end of the night, just the two of us and Mike was helpful to get people out so we could have a minute alone to soak it all in. We also had the mirror photo booth at our wedding, Cody was incredible as well. He put up with everyone’s shenanigans and at the end of the night gave us a full photo album with all of our guests 4x6 photos that were printed out for them during the night as well as a USB drive with all of the photos on it. All of our guests had so much fun dancing and taking pictures in the photo booth all night, we can’t recommend them enough!!!

ave seen at a wedding. The booth was a huge mirror so you had room and could actually see what you looked like; they also brought a bunch of props and signs to take pictures with. The gentlemen that were attending the booth were so much fun. They made a book of everyone who took a picture in the booth, which my husband and I were unaware that they did. To see all the pictures that were taken was hilarious. I am so grateful we had a little piece of the Music Man Entertainment at our wedding. I highly recommend them for any part of your wedding even if you can just get the Photo Booth it was 100% worth it!

. I had no doubt in my mind that the music on our wedding day would be great. And Mike did not disappoint! For those thinking of booking Mike, we highly recommend that you do. Mike made the wedding about us; he was not there to be in the spotlight. He was there to play great music. The one thing we appreciated the most was that Mike kept asking how we were doing and if we needed anything. He really went above and beyond. Thanks, Mike! For those on the fence about the photo booth, do it! All of our guests loved it.

e wanted was an all night dance party and that's what we got! He kept the flow of the evening on track and made sure to check with me at different points throughout the night. They had to basically kick us out of the venue! All of our guests had so much fun!!

ff immediately and knew right from then he was the best fit for our wedding day. The music for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception was nothing short of perfect. Mike was funny, professional and personable nonetheless. I would recommend using Mike for any event!! He listened to all of our requests for our big day and ROCKED it. The dance floor was packed the entire night just like we wanted :) Thank you for such an amazing day Mike! - Eileen & Taylor

s. Steven ended up being our DJ and he was phenomenal. His extensive taste in music made it easy to build playlists for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. His energy was contagious, and he checked in on us throughout the entire day, even before the reception. We honestly felt like whoever was going to be our DJ would be our most important vendor, because they set the tone for the entire night, and we'd choose Music Man every time!

ad all of the information he needed so that everything would play out perfectly on the day of the wedding. This includes phones calls to make sure he had the dance songs right, to pronunciations of peoples names, and to working with us to put together an awesome set list. All in all, I can't recommend him enough.

who made sure to keep in touch in the months leading up to the wedding. We had a meeting a few weeks before our date to go over the timeline and any special requests. He even sent us an outline to confirm that everything was the way we wanted. Professionalism to the utmost degree! As a stressed bride a few weeks out from her wedding day, that conversation put me at ease. I felt extremely comfortable with our reception in Mike's hands. Everything went according to plan, and I didn't leave the dancefloor the entire night! Add to that the wonderful monogram, the photos displayed on the DJ booth, and the photo mirror, our wedding was a huge hit. We and our guests loved every minute of it! Mike really made my groom and I feel like the most important people not only on our day, but in the weeks and months leading up to it. Music Man Entertainment knows how to do it right, and I would recommend its services to any bride and groom.

was a huge hit, all our guest had a blast taking photos with him and their fun props. If you want a personal and amazing experience we 100% recommended going with Mike. He truly is the music man !!!

and then when I mentioned him as my DJ people said he was the best and I understand why now! Reasonably priced and out does all of his competitors. Wide variety of music, appeased all guest with different genres. I would recommend him for any event.

st ever! I have family and friends coming up to me all night looking to either hire him or tell me how amazing he was. Mike was wonderful to work with and will be there for you every step of the way. If you are going to do anything/ put your money anywhere for your wedding Mike is where you need to start. Thank you Mike for all you have done for me and my husband, you were the best and I will never forget all you have done for us on our special day.

e never doubted his ability to get the party going and keep it going all night long. He had an added feature of having our personal photos displayed on his booth all night that made it a little more personal. Also, we added the photo booth, 10/10 would recommend, we loved seeing everyone enjoying it and seeing the entire book afterwards of everyone’s fun photos throughout the night! We have those photos forever now and we can experience some of our wedding through everyone else’s eyes too. I would highly recommend using Mike as your DJ, he is so personal and takes the added time to make your day everything you want plus more! It was an 11 out of 10 kind of night!

.  We selected the gold frame, which matched the gilded and elegant design of our venue.  There was a great variety of props and they were all on study boards, not just cardboard like we've seen as most weddings.  The two attendants made sure everyone was looking at the camera, getting enough copies of every shot, and kept the mood fun!  At the end of the night, we were handed an album with signed photos people had taken through the night and a flash drive of every picture taken.  It was so fun the next day to flip through all of the moments captured during a perfect night.  I highly recommend the Music Man's photobooth services!

be displayed on his tv's, picture carousel, and more. We couldn't have been more impressed. Coming from the NYC area, my husband and I were a little weary of choosing a DJ from the ADK's that we didn't know much about. BUT Mike did not disappoint in any way. His demeanour is professional and fun, and he was such a pleasure to work with. His skills are unmatched, and kept everyone on the dance floor the whole night! We seriously did not want to leave. Many of our guests even complimented to us after the wedding how great of a DJ he was. We would recommend 1000x over. Hiring Mike was one of the best decisions we made when vendor shopping!

entertainment needs <3

ell. If you have found DJ Mike in your search for DJs, you can stop there….HIRE him!

nment for your wedding or event... you won’t regret it! Also- the photo booth guest book was incredible and everyone loved it!

d dancing, every song was just perfect. And thanks to him we had the party of our dreams!! Our guests are still talking about how awesome Steven was! And we are too! Will definitely recommend to everyone and be using Music Man again in the future.

with. His energy is absolutely unparalleled and you can’t find a better DJ. He kept the dance floor going all night long and all of our guests remarked on how awesome he was. The photo booth was an excellent addition and we were so glad to have a guest book with copies of all of the photos and a USB of the photos to take home with us. Excellent service, great people to work with, and they will make sure you have the best party ever!!

endors during our wedding. My husband and I were stress free the entire time. He played great music that the entire party enjoyed and I would highly recommend Mike for any wedding or party you need a DJ/MC for

ayed everything that we requested and we could not be happier having him as our DJ! The mirror photo booth was also a huge hit!!

g up to our wedding, Mike made sure to take two hours to have a consultation with us to make sure everything was perfect, down to the phonetic spelling of names and special requests. One of which was to play my late grandmothers favorite song and give her a shout out. It was a great way to do something happy to remember her life and legacy at our wedding. On the wedding day Mike arrived super early to set up- all of the music was FANTASTIC for the ceremony. After we mingled in cocktail hour Mike lined us up and dealt with our crazy family and friends like a pro! The flow of the intros, first dance, parent dances, speeches, into dinner and cake cutting was seamless. I didn’t ever have to ask Mike to do anything. In fact he found us a couple times to remind us of important things coming next. Our amazing day wouldn’t have been complete without him. The magic mirror photobooth was a huge hit! I love our photo book and guests loved the multiple print and texting option it had. The photobooth attendant was kind, patient, and was always there to guide people through signing pictures or retaking them if they didn’t like how it turned out. Music Man Entertainment would get 10 stars from my husband and I if that was an option. Thank you Mike for all of your attention to detail, and keeping our guests dancing through the night!

d made us even more excited about our big day than we already were. He was professional and responsive throughout the entire experience. I could not recommend him enough for any DJ needs in the area he operates. Furthermore, I strongly recommend using the mirror photo booth service he offers. It was the surprise hit of the wedding and stole the show at the reception.

e made the right choice! Steven was always available when we needed him and helped guide us through our music choices for the ceremony and reception. When it came to the reception, he had everyone up and dancing THE ENTIRE TIME! Our wedding was so much fun thanks to Steven. It has been almost two weeks since, and we still have guests talking about how much fun they had dancing all night! It was an absolute pleasure getting to work with Steven, we absolutely highly recommend him and Music Man Entertainment!

ed at Birch Hill, but that was not the original plan. Our first venue had some very tight wedding restrictions because of Covid. Emily and I were considering rescheduling the wedding until we spoke with Mike. He told us that things were about to open up and to not give up on our wedding. We listened to Mike and we ended up having the most perfect wedding day. On the wedding day, Mike provided the ceremony music, cocktail hour entertainment, reception music, and a photo booth. His timing with everything was spot on and everything transitioned flawlessly. He had the whole room on the dance floor having the time of our lives. People were constantly at the photo booth using the props that he brought! Emily and I got a flash drive version of the photo both pictures and a scrapbook of the photos taken at the photo booth. Also, he had a slideshow as part of his DJ set up that shuffled through pictures of Emily and I for our guest to see how we have grown! Mike brought an energy to the wedding that no one could match. He remained upbeat and positive through everything and without him we might not be a married couple today. If you are looking for a DJ, I promise there is no one better than Mike. He will make sure you are happy and ready to have the time of your life. If the wedding was not scheduled to end at 10pm then we might have partied all night! Thank you Mike! Tyler Gates

or! Look no further you have found your DJ!!!!

ormal DJ, This Wedding Was Perfect. I Recommend Seeing all He Has To Offer When Booking Any Gathering Or Event.

he time dinner was finished until the end of the wedding. He did the monogram on the wall of the State Room and it looked amazing! He was high energy and had everything planned out! He has worked with the State Room and our Photographer in the past and was able to help coordinate the different parts of the night to make everything go smoothly! We had an extra hour that Mike played throughout giving our guests a great experience! We highly recommend Mike for his experience and ability! P.S. the new photo slideshow feature was also a hit at our wedding!

to help ensure that our wedding day was amazing. His right hand man Mike was also fantastic at conducting the photo booth and interacting with the crowd. Mike was an essential part of our vendor team and we couldn’t be happier!

we had booked With Covid still knocking at our door, Mike still gave us the best service and put our minds at ease during the unprecedented times that Covid brought with it for many of the industry leaders. Mike helped us navigate the uncharted waters, and made sure that our night was still unforgettable and full of good times and great music! Highly recommend Mike G. for all your music needs!

so much fun. Your DJ sets the mood for your day and trust me, Mike knows what he is doing. He is the perfect addition to your day and I cannot say enough good things. We also had his uplighting and "LOVE" letters at our reception and everyone LOVED them!! THANK YOU MIKE!!

gle thing I was stressed about on our day, and Mike was a huge part of that!! Would recommend to anyone with an upcoming wedding or event..no questions asked!!

ne raved about how great the music was! I would 100% recommend him to anyone! Thanks again Mike!!

not be disappointed from his professionalism and his way to really rock the crowd!

ecommend!!

re of so you have nothing to worry about on your wedding day. His personality and energy just enhances the experience!

one up and dancing! Mike is super attentive to details, from ensuring he had everyone’s names pronounced correctly, to adding in very personal touches with everyone’s introductions and making our reception an overall very fun and personal experience.

t Mike know our dilemma and he still offered to help out- mike played music for guests coming into the ceremony, during the ceremony and for our first dance! I was particular about my music and when I needed music to start and even needed music to start at the chorus when we left the alter. Mike did it flawlessly! I recommend hiring Mike and any future events we will hire him again!

We can’t thank him enough for his fabulous work!

ght, but it was better than we could have imagined!! He is the best DJ!!! He made the party so much fun and all of our guests loved him too!! Thank you Mike for everything!!!

veryone had a lot of fun making photo memories!!! The monogram and childhood photos that were shown through the reception and every song played was perfect!!! He had us dancing and having a great time!!! Mike has a heart of gold and we definitely will be using his services again when needed!!

at energy to our day, and made sure everything ran smoothly, and more importantly, kept the party going! He not only provides awesome music for the day, his added bonuses of lighting, sideshow photos, and a photo booth make for a fantastic addition to any wedding. If you are getting married in the Capital Region, you've gotta have Mike!

GE part of why our day was absolutely fantastic and seamless even through covid. He was communicative and always in our corner when it came to pulling off our dream day. I cannot recommend him enough, our day wouldn’t have been the same without him! Thank you Mike!!

y but Mike made it absolutely so easy. He rocked it for our mico wedding ceremony! He is easy to talk to and will go above and beyond to help you with ALL your wedding needs not just music. Looking forward to a rocking party next year with him!

e best they had ever been to and Mike was a HUGE reason that they all said that. He not only played the best music, without us having to request hardly anything, but was also so accommodating and helped with anything else we needed. If you want the perfect wedding day and want to have someone relieve some of your stress you HAVE to have Mike as your DJ. We can’t thank him enough.

w easy it was to work with them. We didn't get to have our full reception because of covid but Steven still came and provided the music for our ceremony and first dance. We cannot wait to have him DJ our reception! I highly recommend these guys!

ed the slideshow, which was presented on his set-up. We would highly recommend to friends and family.

I was talking with him while waiting to enter the ceremony, telling him how we had this entrance ceremony music idea and he said, "No problem." and he made it happen. We also added the photo booth which we were unsure of at the time, but we are so happy we stuck with it cause it was great to entertain the guests and our kids.  We cannot say enough on how great he and the photo booth attendant was.  We look forward to working with Mike again.

ing forward this year and we cannot thank them enough for their patience and flexibility. Looking at the photo album Mike and Coty put together for us the morning after the wedding was such a nice additional touch and we look forward to holding onto those memories forever :)

ic he was there for us, helping us navigate the decision to have our wedding vs post pone. He touched base with us several times before the wedding and was always unbelievably prompt whenever I reached out to him! On the day of he was amazing! Our wedding had been reduced significantly and I was worried that we wouldn't have enough people dancing to keep the party vibe going. But Mike made sure that everyone got out there at some point. It's incredible how good he his at reading the vibe of everyone on the dancefloor. My groom is not typically one to cut a rug but Mike had his number lol! Everytime my groom was by the dancefloor Mike brought the 90s jams and My groom couldn't resist! He was amazing, he even was getting us drinks at one point! He even stayed an extra two hours late for us despite having a very long drive home! The night was amazing and I have Mike to thank for so much of that! He's so much more than a DJ!

tact when he had questions, he did alot of the planning to make sure everything was perfect. I will recommend him to everyone!

setup a “conference call” very quickly, spent over an hour talking about the services offered and what we as a couple were looking for. Throughout the call he was kind, funny, informative, and answered all my quirky questions. Nailed down what we envisioned having for June. That same night my fiancée and I signed the contract he had sent over, mailed out the deposit, and just like that we had a DJ. Easiest decision I made in the entire wedding process! Throughout the wedding countdown we used the wedding “portal“ that had spreadsheets we could fill out to help pick out ceremony music, introduction structure, haves/have nots, etc. This “portal” may not seem like much but it was a VERY valuable asset for Mike to have for each couple. If you’re in need of direction or think you’re missing something, the “portal” is the place to go! In the coming months we emailed numerous times, working out the kinks, etc. The responsiveness on Mike’s end was INCREDIBLE! Instantly he would reply back to us and I cannot express enough how grateful we are for that. Fast forward to April and we were faced with the novel COVID-19 that many others couples faced. To postpone or not to postpone. In the end we chose to have an outdoor ceremony at our country home, with a small reception, and a larger formal reception at the venue at a later date. We immediately became concerned that we may not be able to keep Mike as our DJ, as we’d created this friendship over the months of emailing/calling. That was not the case!! He immediately reassured us that he will be there for our big day rain or shine, on the top of a barn, in the boonies, on a farm, etc. This was a HUGE reassurance!! Not only did Mike come through for the backup planned wedding but ALSO was able to book us for our formal reception at the venue in July!! Another relief! Yesterday was finally the big day and I have to say that Mike Garassi made it the perfect day from start to finish. His energy was fantastic, he engaged with the crowd and kept them on their feet, he played everything and anything, took all requests (including our very very quirky taste in music), and made both the ceremony and reception perfect. I have never met a DJ that not only took his role so seriously but also coordinated with the officiant, the parties, and us as much as he did. From the time he got here until the time he drove on off into the mountains Mike Garassi was PHENOMENAL!! I, again, cannot recommend Music Man Entertainment enough. If you are considering it, or even weighing him against other DJ’s, toss those others thoughts from your mind. Mike Garassi is the man for the job and will make your wedding, formal event, large gathering, etc a knockout hit! I cannot wait to continue to work with him for the formal reception event in July. Best decision I made throughout all the craziness that is wedding planning. Thank you, Mike, for everything you did to make this the most memorable day for us and our families!! You ROCK 🤘🏼

about- How my day was going, venues around my area that he was familiar with, who my favorite band or singer was. From there we talked all things country music and country music singers. It was like talking to a friend on the phone and I could not wait to tell everyone how I had found the most perfect DJ. Fast forward to closer to the wedding he always responded to my email, text or calls within 24 hours (it was actually more like a few hours) and strived to do everything in his power to make this the wedding of my dreams. He made planning so incredibly easy and fun. The day of the wedding he took care of everything. Any question he had was usually directed to my MOH and he kept me up to speed on where we were at in our schedule but stayed so flexible. I have never met someone so professional, fun and easy going as Mike. I hope in the future I get to attend a wedding where he is the DJ just so I can experience it again! Aside from his DJ service I also used the video services which consisted of a slideshow of pictures for the Father of the bride dance, Mother of the groom dance, 1st dance and an overall video presentation during dinner. It was definitely memorable and something that guests are still talking about even 8 months later! Thank you so much Mike!

chat. Unfortunately we had to cancel our wedding reception due to the COVID19 pandemic. We had already paid in full and he was willing to refund us completely! We moved forward with our church ceremony with no guests. Afterwards, we were surprised with a huge reception in the church parking lot. Friends and family in their vehicles parked in a large circle with their headlights beaming toward the center. Mike was there DJing and we were able to do our first dance in the center of the circle of cars. He also assisted my dad in giving his speech. Mike really came through for us in unprecedented times. He truly is one of a kind. This was the best night of my life thanks to mike the music man.

TAINMENT IS YOUR ONLY CHOICE! We feel blessed beyond measure to have hired a DJ that was SO dedicated to our big day that by the end of the process, he felt more like a friend than a vendor to us. Mike listened to every question, every silly song request, and every outrageous plan we had and met each idea with enthusiasm, wisdom, and genuine excitement. When we felt overwhelmed, Mike met us in person to have a 2 hour meeting and discuss music choices, wedding party entrances, and just hang out. No challenge was too big...he even made it possible for my dad to sing us our first dance song (and did a sound check with him to calm his nerves!) And if the music wasn't enough, he seamlessly provided up lighting for the reception and a gorgeous throne chair for our sweetheart table for rent. Mike's love for music and ability to bringing joy to others shines on the dance floor and beyond. He has an undeniable talent to fill the room with fun while making the bride and groom feel loved by their guests the whole night. Hiring Music Man Entertainment was one of our BEST vendor choices. Thank you, Mike! We are SO thankful for you!!!

ike agreed to help out as DJ for our ceremony when I switched locations. He made the whole planning process an absolute BREEZE. He’s so easy to talk to and I feel like he’s a friend I have known for many years even though we had just met. The day of the wedding, Mike was the life of the party! I can’t even begin to tell you how many compliments we got from our guests on how fun Mike was! He even played my parent’s wedding song during the reception considering their anniversary was the day before. It was such a kind gesture and my mom still talks about how sweet it was and how that was the first time she heard the song in many, many years. He made the day not only special for me and my husband but for our friends and family as well! I would recommend Mike for any bride, groom, event or party!!!!

nd classic music. If you want to please the crowd HIRE MIKE! p.s. he is also a super friendly and funny DJ, my mother was hugging him by the end of my wedding lol!!

us even further and get to know us and the range of music we wanted to hear. He is such a busy guy, but takes the time to get to know each one of his clients and shows true excitement for each event that it made us so excited for our day! Mike did an amazing job and I would recommend him to anyone who wants to have a amazing fun wedding!

ome of our unusual requests, from a string quartet version of Star Trek TNG theme, to a slow piano ballad of Guile's Theme, Nyan Cat, etc.

he didn't appear too emcee-like that would be good enough. Well after the first meeting my now-husband and I were certain Mike was the perfect choice. Mike is super personable, professional, and knows what people want at a wedding. He is constantly updating his technology to the latest and greatest but does not try to upsell or overcharge. Closer to the wedding, the meeting we had with Mike to go over intros, first dance song, etc. could not have been easier. My sister and father also decided to sing at the wedding and even though that had to be coordinated relatively last minute (my family's delay, not his) Mike handled everything seamlessly. I had been worried about people not dancing because we had different ages and tastes coming, but people were on the floor for the entire reception. We decided to go with Mike's mirror photobooth, and that was fantastic as well. The two attendants did a great job and we now have that many more pictures to add to the professional ones from our photographer. I am so glad we decided to book Mike for our wedding, and I would absolutely recommend Music Man to anyone looking for a great DJ.

didn't want to do many introductions or "formalities" except for the big ones, and he was totally on board with that and encouraged us to do what we wanted- instead of trying to change our mind, like others vendors may have tried to do. He was extremely responsive, knowledgeable, and willing to go above and beyond for us. He met with us once prior to the wedding and when we left the local coffee shop that he drove far to meet us at on a busy weekend- we knew in that moment that we made the absolute best choice in booking with him. At the reception, he was very helpful in keeping the reception moving as planned. We are so thankful for his dedication to our wedding. Book Mike and you won't have to lose a wink of sleep worrying about the fun that will ensue on the dance floor at your wedding!!

break a wedding...and he made it so fantastic. He kept the events on schedule for us, and accommodated all our needs...while we were busy tending to what we had to do. I highly recommend his services!

ur vibes, he took all the guess work out of it and helped coordinate our whole day!! He knew how to keep the party going all night! Even with a 7 hour reception my guests boo’ed when he stopped playing! Look no further, Mike and his team are the top! We also used Mike for our photo booth! I have never been to a wedding where the photo booth was so packed and the attendants were so upbeat and awesome! Great touches with the highest technology and made an awesome keepsake book for us out of the pics!!

ty going with current hits and old-school favorites the whole family loves. My sister had hired Mike first for her wedding, and he was the first vendor we contacted and hired. Before the wedding, we were in touch aswell as having a sit-down in which we got to know Mike a little more. He is kind, gracious, and incredibly intuitive to who the bride and groom really are and what “mood” should be set. We loved Mike and will continue to recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ!
