Mike is absolutely amazing! From the moment we met him we knew he needed to DJ our wedding. He reached out to us multiple times while planning to make sure everything was going as planned and to see if we needed him for anything. The week befor...
e our wedding we met with him to go over the logistics and song selections. Mike brought an unbelievable energy to our wedding and everyone loved him! He exceeded our expectations with his song selections and brought the house down from start to finish. Our guests were dancing all night long and are still raving about the atmosphere at our wedding. Mike said from day 1 he was going to rock the house and he far exceeded our expectations. Even our older family members were out on the floor dancing all night!
We also rented up lighting, Love letters and the photo booth from Mike. The lighting really transformed the ambiance in the ballroom and the love letters look amazing in pictures. Our guests LOVED the photo booth and were in it all night. We received copies of all the pictures at the end of the night from the photo booth so we could look back on them.
Steven DJ'd my daughters wedding this past weekend and he was a pleasure to work with. He played all of our requests. His fun personality added to the fun of the party! We also added the photo booth and it was well worth the extra money- it ...
was a hit! Thank you Steven for helping make this day great!
Mike is the DJ you want for your wedding. Our wedding was the third wedding we've used him for (the other two being my sisters weddings), and he routinely kills it every time. He's excellent with requests, does amazing introductions, interact...
s with the crowd, and gets people on the dance floor. Easiest 10/10 ever, would strongly recommend to anyone looking for a DJ. and we hope to see him again in the future at other weddings - at least we'll know it will be a damn good party.
My husband and I hired Music Man Entertainment for both DJ and both Photo Booth, we had Steve for DJ and Coty for the Photo Booth. They were absolutely amazing the guest had so much fun. Steve kept the music going all night long no one left the...

Mike is the best in the business. We changed our date just to make sure we could book him for our wedding. An absolute professional in every way. He was always just an email or phone call away if we had any questions to make sure our day was pe...
rfect. Mike puts a lot of work into making sure each event is exactly what you want. He goes above and beyond what you can expect from a DJ. Mike worked with our venue to make sure everything was moving along smoothly and made any changes on the fly to keep things going. We had so much fun working with Mike. If you are in need of a DJ, Mike is the only one to choose.
Don't look any further! Mike was the best DJ we could ever ask for. He knows how to keep the party going and knows how to make your vision a reality. I had been planning our wedding music for over a year and kept track of all of it with Mike...
's planning website. He knocked it out of the park! He did everything I asked and them some. And I had A LOT of requests. He made sure me and my husband Brian were happy throughout the night and made sure everything was on schedule. That meant the world to us! I will recommend Mike to anyone who is looking for a wedding DJ, he is truly experienced and knows how to make your day unforgettable to everyone who is there!
My partner and I couldn’t be happier that we went with Music Man Entertainment for our wedding. Mike was incredibly approachable throughout the entire process leading up to the day. He was more than flexible and accommodating to meet all of our...
requests, and it led to a terrific night! He read the crowd perfectly and went out of his way to make certain everyone had an amazing time. We elected to have the photo booth add-on, and the person who was leading that, Coty, was immensely friendly! Overall, the night was a huge success, and we’ve had multiple people comment on how much fun they had dancing and using the photo booth. 5 star experience all around; thank you, Mike and Coty!
I am so pleased to have had Music Man Entertainment at our reception. Mike really went above and beyond my expectations, and his enthusiasm and fun demeanor is none other. He was extremely professional, detail oriented and experienced in readi...

I’m so happy we hired Music Man Entertainment as our Wedding DJ! Mike is awesome! He was very professional, communication was great and you could tell he went above and beyond for all of his clients. There was several times I would reach out to...
Mike with a question, or even just guidance during our wedding planning stages, and I would have a reply from him that same exact day. He took the time to explain every little detail in regards to our wedding, which made me feel so relieved. The day of our wedding, Mike made sure everything went smoothly and accordingly. The music was perfect! He played a great mix of songs that got our guests up and dancing all night. I would also strongly recommend the mirror photo booth - it was awesome! The staff working the photo booth was great, and our guests had so much fun using it. We had several guests comment on how awesome the photo booth was. At the end of the night, Mike had all of our photo booth photos ready for us in a beautiful photo book. It was such an amazing gift that we will definitely cherish forever. I would hands down recommend Music Man Entertainment for your wedding (or any other function). It was definitely the best decision we ever made! You rock Mike!
Mike was incredible at our wedding! He was so kind, attentive, cool and the ultimate DJ. All of his musical choices were spot on and got everyone moving! I have been to a lot of weddings the past several years and he was head and shoulders abov...
e other DJs I have experienced. Since our very first conversation he had been incredibly responsive, accommodating, enthusiastic and fun! He made our wedding fantastic. Our guests raved about his skills and had a great time. He took such great care of us that it truly felt as though we were working with a friend and were in good hands. My wife and I cannot thank him enough. He really is a special guy and he definitely rocks!!!!
Thank you to Coty! Our guests absolutely loved our photo booth and we are so thrilled to have all the pictures as keepsakes. Coty was so wonderful with our guests and this was not your average photo booth. It was high tech and allowed our guest...

Mike is the best! He made the planning process so easy and streamlined. He is extremely thorough and responsive to his emails and messages. We wanted our wedding to be an absolute blast for our guests and Mike definitely delivered on that front...
! Multiple people came up to me during the wedding and commented that every single song he played was on point, and the dance floor literally did not stop the entire night! We could not recommend a vendor more highly than Mike. Thanks for helping to make our wedding the best day ever!
Steven was a magnificent addition to our wedding day, not only as a DJ and emcee but also as a party-goer and source of good energy! His substantial expertise and enthusiastic but unflappable manner kept everything running smoothly from the cer...
emony through the cocktail hour to the dance floor, where people couldn't stay seated despite the fact that we were in the 15th hour of partying! We also had Music Man's uplighting package and photo booth, both of which we would recommend whole-heartedly. The uplighting transitioned from a classic cream during dinner to brighter colors when it was time for dancing and that set just the right tone to get people out of their seats. The photo booth also added something special to the reception and was a fun activity which kept the energy up even when people needed a break from dancing. Looking back through the photo album Music Man prepared for us that evening showed us so many great photos of unexpected combinations of guests and helped us really appreciate how many connections were made among our family and friends over the course of the wedding, even if we didn't see it all in the moment. Thanks for everything, Music Man team!
Mike from Music Man Entertainment did an amazing job providing entertainment for our guests at our wedding. He deserves more then a 5-star in my opinion. He checked in with us periodically to see if we needed anything so we could enjoy our nigh...
t. I would use Music Man again in the future.
Mike is truly the best DJ you could hire for your wedding. As long as you’re looking for someone to hype you up, choose the best music based on the crowd, and keep everyone on the dance floor. He is always so lively and fun, and genuinely cares...
about your day. Extremely helpful too. He’ll go out of his way to make sure things run smoothly and review everything with you to the final detail. My husband and I emailed him last minute song changes the day before the wedding, I was nervous he’d be upset about it being so last minute but instead he replied back about how amazing the song choices were. I honestly could go on and on but I won’t, just book him, he’ll be the best vendor you hire. Thanks again Mike!
Mike was fabulous to work with. He had the dance floor moving and shaking all night long. The ceremony music was perfect and the slide show pictures for cocktail hour was a special touch that no one has seen before. The photo booth and photos t...
hat were taken are memories to last a lifetime from all of our guests. Mike checked in on us multiple times in the evening to make sure everything was perfect. He made the evening so stress free because I knew he would do an amazing job. I recommend him to everyone I know because without a doubt he will make your event the best!
I know this sounds cliché but there truly are no words for how great our experience was with music man entertainment. From the moment we contacted Mike and Steven, to the last second of the wedding they were nothing less than perfect. Their ene...
rgy and excitement is unmatchable. They were both so easy to work with, but Steven was with us for the night of the event. We got more compliments on him that night than we did for my wedding dress or even the delicious food. No one left the dance floor all night and he played every single song we requested. We also booked the magic mirror photo booth through them and our guests loved it and said it was the perfect touch and it was so easy to use. The photo booth assistant Coty was just as friendly and helpful. We had the best day, and I could never thank Steven enough for how perfect the entire night was. We laughed and danced literally all night long!!! My goal was to have fun on my wedding and not be stressed and they truly made that happen for me. I’ll forever be grateful!
Mike & Steven were absolutely a dream team to work with and of course Cody on the photo booth! They were super organized, had great insight for music and flow of the evening and were so fun to work with.
Mike did an excellent job, he walks you through the whole process so everything runs smoothly. Highly recommend, awesome guy!
Mike was nothing short of spectacular throughout the entire wedding process. He makes himself available to you and is prompt with his phone calls and email responses. He walked us through every detail of our big day, from the ceremony, cocktail...
hour, to the reception. He was able to compline all of our ideas into an efficient timeline, which made the night so smooth and seamless. Dancing with our friends and family was a big priority for us. Mike’s high energy and positive attitude kept the party going all night long. We had a 20 person wedding party, and Mike was able to guide us through the ceremony and reception entrances like a true professional! It’s not easy rounding up a huge, rowdy wedding party, but Mike did so with confidence and ease! Furthermore, Mike came up to us at several points throughout the night to tell us what event was happening next (parent dancing, cake cutting, etc.), which really helped keep us on track!
We selected the wedding package with the Mirror photo booth and our guests are STILL talking about how much fun they had with it. Mike also created a photo album guestbook for the bride and groom of ALL the photo booth pictures from the night, along with special message from our guests. Even if we weren’t in the photos with our guests, it’s still a wonderful keepsake to have and a great way to remember the night!
We cannot recommend Mike enough! He is truly worth every penny and made night unforgettable!
From my first conversation with Mike, I knew he was the right DJ for our wedding. He completely understood my vision of a classic wedding mixed with a fun dance party. He played music that everyone enjoyed without it being that classic overplay...
ed wedding playlist. We received so many compliments about him. He had the entire dance floor packed all night with all ages, even my 75 year old great uncle! He was a pleasure to work with, very easy to contact, very organized and helpful, gave us some great tips that we never would have thought of, and was a great director of events the night of. It’s so obvious that he LOVES what he does, and that energy at your wedding is a must have. Can’t recommend Mike enough!!!
Mike went above and beyond all of our expectations as the DJ for our wedding. He was very organized through the planning process and took the time to make sure our music was individualized to our taste. He also genuinely cares about the people ...
that he works with and his positive energy is unmatched! He is willing to go the extra mile to make sure your wedding day is perfect. In our case, he created a perfect father-daughter mash up song. I had so much fun dancing with my dad. It is something I will never forget! He also was able to accommodate a last minute request from our bridal party for a fun entrance, and it came out perfect! We are so lucky that Mike was a part of our special day. It would not have been the same without him.
Mike was a great DJ! He took the time to listen to what we wanted for our wedding day and gave us a day to remember forever!
Mike is the best out there! From the moment we booked him to the last moments of our wedding day he was so attentive and did exactly what we asked of him. Mike makes you feel as if you have known him forever which made planning extremely easy....
We left our cocktail hour music and reception music up to him and he played a perfect variety of music that all ages were dancing to all night long. You cannot go wrong with Music Man Entertainment, I already have multiple newly engaged couples trying to book him after they attended our wedding!
If you are looking for a DJ to keep the party going and who ensures you're well taken care of, then look no further- Mike is your guy!
From the moment you first talk to Mike, you know he is passionate about what he does and will provide excepti...

Our wedding size was much smaller than anticipated, but it was no challenge for Mike.
Mike really went above and beyond on our wedding day, and we are BEYOND happy with choosing him to be our wedding DJ!
Have you ever come across someone who is just always so happy all the time and ready to make you happy?? That's Mike...times 1000! And he certainly succeeded with making us happy!
Mike was so easy to work with throughout the process of our wed...
ding planning. He was quick to respond and made the whole processes seamless. I really loved the website that allowed us to easily add song requests and plan our music needs.
When it came to the wedding I got TONS of guests saying how much they loved the DJ and the music he was playing. He kept us on the dance floor dumping and laughing and having a blast.
If you are looking for someone to turn your wedding into a party, look no further than Mike!
DJ Steve from Music Man Entertainment made our reception a night to remember! We wanted a DJ that would curate the music to our tastes and keep our guests entertained and dancing all night. We’re millennials who love the 90’s-2000’s hits, but a...
lso wanted some current music as well. DJ Steve really understood our style and played every song on our list plus many more that fit perfectly. He kept the energy high and was also a great MC for the reception events. He amped up the introductions and pronounced everyone’s names correctly! He was also approachable and fun to work with.
Cody manned the photobooth all night and our guests LOVED the magic mirror! Our guestbook was an album full of personalized photobooth pictures, Cody put together as the night went on and it was the easiest guestbook ever! It was so popular that people went back multiple times and we had to buy more pages to fit all of the pictures!
DJ Steve and Cody were a DREAM TEAM and kept us and our guests having fun the entire night. Months later, we still have friends telling us how much fun our wedding was because of the DJ! Our DJ was a priority for us and we are so glad we got DJ Steve! We would highly recommend Music Man Entertainment for a personalized, energetic, and epic reception!
Mike was fabulous from beginning to end! He was incredibly helpful when deciding how we wanted our wedding to flow and coming up with ideas on how to make our wedding more special and fun. During the wedding, he had our family and friends on t...

He was so easy to work with and communicated every step along the way!
If you are in the market for a DJ for any event but especially a wedding, then Music Man Entertainment is your answer.

terest in mind. With all of the little last minute chances we made - from canceling an in person appointment to song adjustments - he didn’t even bat an eye.

You will not be disappointed. Thank you so much Mike and Coty! It doesn’t get much better than you two.

We try, but we struggle to find big enough words of appreciation for Steven, Coty, Jason and the entire Music Man team! This squad was integral to the laid back but upbeat, chill but rockin’ and generally cool vibe that we wanted for our guest...
s…and that many told us they came away with.
From deftly orchestrated mics for our ceremony, to gently…then raucously interjected ceremony music pieces, to beautifully curated lighting and photo-booth management, to announcements and dance music dj-ing, the Music Man team helped us create the once-in-a-lifetime experience of our dreams!
Music Man is professional and easy to work with, AND they bring the party! We were so thrilled with their whole team, and we’re sure you will be too!
Steven was AWESOME. He was so easy to work with, always quick to respond, and very helpful with any questions or concerns we had. Anything we wanted, Steven happily helped make happen. My best friend had booked Music Man Entertainment for her w...
edding in 2020 and loved her experience with Music Man Entertainment, so when it came time to pick our DJ I already knew who to go to!
Listen. If you want to have fun and not worry about if your guests will dance or not, BOOK MIKE! Even the grouchiest members of our family got up to dance and take pictures in the photo booth. Our wedding is the second wedding that we’ve seen M...
ike dj and it was absolutely perfect. The photo booth is also such a nice touch and the attendants were beyond kind and patient (it’s hard to wrangle drunk people sometimes lol). Everyone had a fantastic time and he makes it all run so smoothly. There was also no point in time where I didn’t know what was going on because he checks in, asks clarifying questions, and keeps you updated throughout the night. I literally couldn’t have asked for a better dj.
DJ Steven of Music Man Entertainment rocked our wedding! He made sure everything was organized from start to finish, and was not only a great DJ but an amazing MC. He played music that appealed to the wide age-range of our guests and we recei...

Music Man Entertainment DJ’d our wedding on March 12, 2022, after nearly 4 full years of trying to plan everything out, and then dealing with constraints presented by the world.
From Day 1, Mike responded quickly to any phone call or email, an...
d constantly provide clear and concise guidance of what he could provide, and how things would work. As we got closer to our final wedding dates, Mike spent so much time on the phone with us talking and asking questions to make sure he had everything set up perfectly, to include bringing “up lighting” which added an amazing lighting addition to our wedding venue and. Mike showed exactly on time in the middle of a snow storm, and was ready exactly when we needed him to be so that we could have the perfect wedding night.
Once the ceremony started, Mike communicated with myself, my wife, and our coordinator constantly to make sure everything was perfect and kept on time, guiding guests to get to their places for the ceremony to start, or to get on the dance floor and move those feet.
All in all, I would absolutely encourage other individuals to consider Mike as their DJ. I can promise you will be happy with your decision.
Mike was amazing from the start. He is so personable. He made sure all our needs were met. Even with our last minute adjustments, Mike made sure he accommodated us. He got our guests hyped & kept the dance floor full the ENTIRE night. Mike, tha...
nk you for everything.
I truly wish I could give Mike an 11/10. We can not rave more about him and his services! He made the entire process not only completely stress free and easy, but he made it so much fun!
We really had no idea what we wanted or what we needed t...
o choose for songs regarding formalities. He took the time to explain what is traditional for a ceremony/reception to have when it came to songs and the bridal party/family orders. He had all of the answers when I had no idea what to do! After having a conversation with us, he knew exactly what to play at our wedding! He asked questions about ourselves, got to know us and created a night of amazing music from beginning to end.
Not only was Mike wonderful to work with, he kept the party going all night long!! All of our guests complimented us on the music and how fun the night was. We also went with the UP Lighting to add a little spice to the mix which was exactly what gave the party a little edge!
The guests absolutely loved the touch screen photo booth! Cody ran the photo booth and we have nothing but great things to say about him as well!! He was SO nice and even put together a photo album for us at the end, along with a USB of all of our guests’ pictures! When Mike told me not to worry and that everything was going to be perfect, I had absolutely no doubt.
Mike we can not thank you enough for making our wedding an absolute dream. Magical is all I can say.
I would highly recommend Music Man Entertainment, Mike, and Cody to all of my closest friends and to anyone who is looking to turn their event into a CELEBRATION!
We greatly look forward to hiring you again in the future!!!
You ROCK!
There are some things that are just not worth going with the cheap option… name brand ketchup for example is the only acceptable way to go when purchasing that specific condiment, the generic brand is just not as good… The same can be said abou...
t Music Man Entertainment, Mike works for his client, not the other way around. He mixes genres of music perfectly and is a master at his craft. The perfect DJ can make or break an event and Mike will make your wedding special be it in a million dollar ball room or a back ally behind a Dennys…. NO BODY is better than MME
Mike was a fantastic DJ for our wedding reception last weekend! He was a wonderful communicator, super organized and so talented at music and reading the room. He was such a big reason that our wedding was as fun as it was!! Thank you Mike!
Met Mike at a Wedding expo. HE WAS FANTASTIC from start to finish. He brought the party we needed to get out of that pandemic slump and I did not want the night to end! The guests loved him and the photo booth!!
Mike was absolutely the best decision we could have made for our DJ. He is so passionate about making your wedding the best party ever. I can't even tell you how many compliments we got from our guests. I booked Mike for our original wedding da...

We absolutely loved Mike!!! He was fun, energetic, in tune with our crowd, attentive, etc. the list goes on!! We cannot recommend him enough!!
Extremely professional but personal. He was extremely organized and you could tell mike is a PRO at...
what he does.
When planning with Mike, we felt like we our opinions/likes/dislikes were really heard by him. Flash forward to the wedding and it was amazing to realize just how much he understood our wants/style (even when I was worried I didn’t explain my thoughts correctly!)
We sincerely appreciated how he blended with the rest of our vendors, it felt like everyone was a great fit/perfect team. We really feel like he went above and beyond for our day, and we thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Mike/spending time with him the day of and during the planning process.
BOOK HIM FOR YOUR EVENT!! You will be SO happy you did!!
Mike at Music Man Entertainment was AMAZING! Anytime I had a question or request he was easy to reach and so quick to respond. I asked for a meeting a little earlier than most people do and he hung out with us for a while for that to make sure ...
every detail was perfect and that we were on the same page. He’s so easy to work with and talk to and such a fun and genuine person! Our wedding was on a Sunday night in December and everyone, including the staff at the venue said that he did a great job keeping people on the dance floor compared to others they have seen. He knew exactly what music to play for our crowd and made the night so much fun, I couldn’t have been happier with him and could not recommend him enough! We also used his photo booth that was so fun and user friendly, everyone loved it!
Mike is amazing! He is professional in all aspects and extremely relatable. From the first moment I spoke on the phone with him I knew I wanted to hire him for our wedding. He took his time to get to know us, feel out our style as far as weddin...
g and musical taste, and answered all questions (no matter how many times I asked).
The weeks leading up to the wedding he ensured we understood how the flow of the wedding would go and that we had all music requests that we wanted. We had a pretty unusual request for seating music, but he totally came through we were so happy with the outcome! He also took the time to combine songs for the mother/son dance. He ensures he pronounces names of the bridal party correctly too. My maid of honor has a terribly hard last name to pronounce & she was so impressed he pronounced it correctly first time.
Mike also took the time to check in with us throughout the wedding! He wanted to make sure we were feeling the music and that our night was going well. That was the icing on top of the cake for us.
We also booked the photo booth and I cannot rave enough about that as well. The backdrop was gorgeous (lots of options to select), the props were also extremely fun, and the attendant was top notch. He didn't just ensure that the booth was running smoothly. He was interactive with ALL guests. He ensured that guests knew where to look for a great photo, how much time they had between poses, prop swap outs, and instructed how to sign a special message on the photos.
I honestly can't say enough about Mike and his photo booth attendant. Seriously, don't waste any more time and book these guys. Reach out to Mike first and you won't have to worry about your DJ services or photo booth.
Such an amazing and energetic DJ. You should definitely hire him!
DJ Mike was so awesome in accommodating our requests before and on our big day, and he sure knew how to keep the party going!!! He was super friendly and professional in every way! We would highly recommend him to anyone.
Steven with the Music Man truly rocked! We had specific goals and requests of the music during our wedding and he was perfect. We gave guidance with plays and don’t plays and he brought that together and filled in the gaps with his expertise f...
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!
If you’re looking for a DJ that plays great music & keeps the party going look no further. Mike Garrasi is the best!! He makes the event about the couple & not himself. He does all the intros & then let’s the music take over. He does not talk t...
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.
Mike is the best of the best if you are looking for a DJ for your wedding or event. He was so helpful and attentive during the planning process and offered really great advice & recommendations to us. He absolutely blew away our expectations ...
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!!!

We unfortunately were unable to book Music Man Entertainment due to being completely booked up for the wedding season. But they were able to offer their Photo Booth for our wedding. It was a HIT! It was unlike any other Photo Booth I h...
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!
Mike went above and beyond to make sure our day went smoothly. He checked in with us throughout the night to let us know where we were with everything. I couldn't have asked for a better person to work with! Highly Recommend!!!
Mike was INCREDIBLE. He was nothing but responsive, attentive, and excited from our first meeting to when he was helping us out of the reception after our last dance. He listened to all of our preferences and helped guide us when we were unsure...
. 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.
Mike is the best of the best if you are going the DJ route for your wedding. He was so helpful during the planning process and offered really great advice & recommendations. He absolutely blew away our expectations the day of the wedding, all w...
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!!
Mike from Music Man Entertainment was the best DJ we could've ever asked for. We were not locals of the area we got married and all the planning took place during COVID but Mike made everything so seamless from our first phone call. We hit it o...
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
I can't recommend Music Man enough. After another popular DJ in the area wouldn't return our inquiry to book after weeks, we reached out to Mike who called us immediately and we spoke for an hour. I knew right then that we would be in good hand...
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!
Mike was the DJ for my wedding this past August, and I don't think I could have made a better choice. He was always incredibly respectful with every interaction my wife and I had with him. He was also very proactive in terms of making sure he h...
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.
Mike made the entire planning process easy, and the end result was exactly what we wanted. He maintains a high energy the whole way, and keeps it all classy with great song selection and just great vibes. Highly recommend.
Mike was awesome! Kept the crowed engaged all night and played music everyone wanted to dance too! 10/10 recommend
Mike was awesome! We shared a playlist with him a month before the wedding with songs we liked, and he was able to play a mix that the bride and groom, along with all guests, were able to enjoy. Mike was one of the few vendors we worked with ...
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.
Dj mike was everything I could of ever hoped for if you want high energy and to do exactly what you asked for he Is your guy so nice and personable too ! All my guests loved him too
Mike was the best DJ we ever could have asked for !! He made our day so special and accommodated all our requests. Hiring Mike was the best decision we could have made.. other than deciding to get married that is. Coty ran the photo both and it...
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 !!!
Music Man Entertainment was amazing! From start to finish, Mike was right on top of every detail. He kept me calm and told me not to stress it, that he had it and that he did! A true professional! found out about him from some of my FB friends ...
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.
Mike's attention to detail is amazing, how he listens to you and takes what you say to heart is what helped me make the choice to hire him for my wedding. He has all the energy you need for a DJ. He made my wedding ceremony and reception the be...
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.
Mike is a high energy, fun loving DJ. From the moment we met him, we knew we needed his energy as a part our wedding. He took his time on going through each portion of our ceremony to reception to make sure he would do exactly what we wanted. W...
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!
The Music Man was unable to DJ our wedding, but had sent over information for their photobooth options. Without exaggeration, this was the most extravagant photo booth experience we've ever had at an event! The equipment itself was impressive...
. 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!
Mike was absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, he was enthusiastic and extremely attentive to our requests. His costs are more than reasonable, and he offers so many cool features, like uplighting, photo booth, personalized monogram to ...
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!
Best DJ Ever!!! Mike and his team are so much fun and were such a joy to work with. He is charismatic, professional, and went above and beyond to make sure that our day was absolutely amazing!!! Look no further than this guy for all of your...

We met Mike and Steven at a Bridal Show last year and we just knew from the second we talked to them that we wanted Music Man Entertainment as our DJ. Steven Simboli was literally the BEST DJ!!! From ceremony music, to cocktail hour, dinner, an...
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.
We are so glad that we booked Mike for our wedding! We booked his DJ services and

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!!

Mike was our DJ and photobooth vendor for our July 2021 wedding. To say he was incredible to work with was an understatement. We had to move our date because of COVID and Mike was extremely flexible, understanding, and easy to work with. Leadin...
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!
Mike was our DJ and emcee for our wedding reception. He was awesome! He made the process for selecting our songs so easy, and took the time to confirm the pronunciation for all of the names in our wedding party. His enthusiasm was infectious an...
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.
My husband and I are so happy we hired Music Man Entertainment! When we first reached out to Mike, he was very responsive and answered all of the questions we had. After we hired Music Man, we met up with our DJ Steven and immediately we knew w...
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!
This might be a long review and it still won't be enough for Emily and I to truly show our gratitude to Mike.
Without Mike, there is a chance that Emily and I would not have gotten married on May 15th 2021. Emily and I ended up getting marri...
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!
