We cannot say enough amazing things about Music Man Entertainment! From our first meeting to the last dance, Mike was professional, attentive, and completely in tune with our visio...
n. He kept the energy high all night, flawlessly reading the room and keeping everyone on the dance floor—young and old alike! The transitions were seamless, the sound was crystal clear, and the lighting setup and Photo Booth added that extra touch of magic to the evening.
Mike took the time to learn about us as a couple and curated a playlist that perfectly reflected our personalities and style. Every special moment—from our grand entrance to the last song—was timed perfectly and felt truly unforgettable.
We’ve had so many guests tell us it was the most fun they’ve had at a wedding, and we owe a huge part of that to Music Man Entertainment. If you're looking for a DJ who will go above and beyond to make your wedding spectacular, look no further. Highly, highly recommended!

the energy, the professionalism, and most importantly - packs the dancefloor!! Everyone was raving about the music at the end of the night! You give him a vision - and he fulfills it 100% of the time. On top of that, as a bride, he made me feel like I had nothing to worry about. From ceremony music ques to bridal enterences - if theres any mis steps from anyone he can adapt to anything and make it so nobody knows. Truly nobody better, so thankful he was apart of our day 1.9.26!

ill make sure your big day is PERFECT. I’ve been to many weddings and feel comfortable saying he’s THE BEST in the industry. He brings the high energy from your initial conversation with him to every meeting that follows. He’s super personable and highly responsive to all communications. I feel like I’ve made a friend for life. He’s truly the definition of fun!
He listened to what we wanted and made our vision come to life. He kept us on schedule and everything flowed so naturally. He’s very in tune with his couples and their guests. We needed help setting up our confetti cannons and Mike made it happen without fuss. He also moved his set up twice as we wanted our ceremony and dance floor under the atrium at The Adelphi Hotel. The ceremony music was perfection as were our introductions. He executed every moment of our day/night flawlessly. He will do anything you want him to do and offer his words of wisdom and input as needed to make sure you get what you want!
Our dance floor was packed all night - the energy Mike created was incredible. People are STILL talking about how great he was. The C02 cannon is a nice addition, too - our guests and myself LOVED it. His playlist was perfectly curated. He truly created the soundtrack to the best night of my life. Mike will always be our first choice DJ for any and all events and should be yours as well!

From our first conversation with Mike, we connected with him instantly and knew he would bring an incredible energy to our wedding! Mike partnered with us on what was important (cr...
eating a fun energy & dancing) and was happy to skip traditional elements we weren’t interested in (an announced entrance or scripted moments). Many of our favorite artists are on the slower side, but we gave Mike a list of inspiration and he created a perfect soundtrack for our cocktail hour and dinner. As for dancing, we picked out 3 of our favorite songs (all very different) and Mike did an incredible job building out hours of music from there that was the perfect mix and energy for our crowd.
Our wedding was on the smaller size (90 people) in a venue that could fit double that and yet people are surprised to find that out because Mike kept the party going throughout the entire reception. We were very interested in creating a vibe that felt fun, not forced and Mike relied on the music to do just that! It was so great to see everyone from grandparents and extended family on the dance floor to our friends partying with us until the last moment. It was an incredible party thanks to Mike and there’s no doubt we would book him again!

d — every song, every vibe, every little detail that mattered to us. On our wedding day, he was completely on it. He kept us on schedule without ever making us feel rushed, and he made sure everything flowed so naturally.
The dance floor was packed all night long — our guests could not get off it! The energy he created was incredible, and everyone is still talking about how it was one of the best parties they’ve ever been to. The photo booth was also a huge hit — such a fun and memorable touch that our guests absolutely loved.
Mike didn’t just play music; he created the soundtrack to one of the best nights of our lives. We’ll never forget how he made our day feel so special and effortless. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares and will make your wedding unforgettable, DJ Mike is the one. 💕🎶

s, he blew us away with his energy and how he was able to read the vibe in the room and keep our dancefloor packed. Our guests have been bombarding us with compliments on how good the music was. The ceremony/processional music was spot on for timing, even with everything being 15mins ahead of schedule - something that I was definitely not anticipating at all. On top of that, he was very professional and flexible both with the planning process and on the day of which helped keep us relaxed. I promise you will not go wrong with Mike!

d his setup was completely seamless. We even had a last-minute song addition for our ceremony that we emailed him about the night before (at 1 am) and he worked it in with no problem at all. He curated a fantastic playlist that reflected our taste and kept the energy just right all night long. We also really appreciated that he checked in with us a few times to make sure everything was running smoothly — it showed how much he cared about making the night perfect. We also booked the photobooth through Mike, which was such a fun addition! The photobooth attendant was super friendly, and Mike even made sure we got a nice photo of ourselves, which we loved. Having the photobooth guest book to take home that night and flip through the next day was such a treat. We’d absolutely recommend Mike to anyone. We would hire him again in a heartbeat!

Mike & Chris, were absolutely amazing!!! Starting from the day we booked him, to the days leading up to the wedding, and all throughout the wedding, Mike made sure every detail was...
covered and that nothing was forgotten. He was able to provide great suggestions when we didn't know what to do. During the wedding, he knew exactly what to play and when to play it to keep the party going and to ensure that everybody was having a good time. He also did a great job as an MC directing the guests during different parts of the night. The photobooth was an absolute hit and Chris worked incredibly hard throughout the night ensuring that every picture came out memorable. They brought so many fun props to choose from and the quality of the picture was also awesome. We couldn't ask for a better duo provide DJ and photobooth services to our wedding. 10/10 recommend!!!!

The transition from our ceremony (having a beautiful, serious tone) then moving to cocktail hour, to our Intros into our reception, all the while making it so lively and fun and helping everyone know the party had truly started! He worked SO on point with my father, to surprise us and all our guests, having him dress up as Ozzy and enter to "Crazy Train", that's the kind of on-point fun you need for your wedding and in your Dj - Mike blew it out of the water!!!

Our dance floor was packed the ENTIRE night. I've never heard people scream at the end of a wedding, 'One more song!!!' but they sure did with Mike.
Mike has a true gift for reading the room and curating the perfect soundtrack for every moment. We were initially hesitant to request certain songs that didn’t seem “party-like,” but he found just the right times to include them, blending all the genres we shared seamlessly. From the ceremony to the very last dance, everything flowed flawlessly. If you don’t choose Mike, you’re genuinely missing out.
Thank you, Mike, for making our day unforgettable!

If anyone is contemplating hiring a DJ for their upcoming wedding or any other celebratory event.......MIKE GARRASI (MUSIC MAN ENTERTAINMENT) is your guy. You need look no further...
because Mike is "simply the best". Mike DJ'd our wedding 2 months ago, and he graded out with an A++++. Everthing not only went as it was planned....it went BETTER than planned. From our first meeting with Mike until the very end of the wedding reception, he literally took care of everything in professional detail. And I have to say, we had some unusual and unique requests for the music, the timing of when the music was to be played, some special announcements, and some unusual musical surprises for our guests. Mike hit a HOMERUN with everything we asked for. He truly goes above and beyond what you expect and ask for. I can't tell you how many people commented to my wife and I after the wedding....."Best wedding I've ever been to, and the music and special presentations by the DJ....WOW". Also, I would highly suggest to use the photo booth that Mike can provide at a very reasonable cost. It was a BIG HIT with everyone in attendance from the start of the reception right up till the very end. I simply can't say enough about our complete satisfaction with MUSIC MAN ENTERTAINMENT. Thank you Mike for making our wedding day so very entertaining and fun for everyone there. Larry and Kathy Cusma.

We cannot thank Mike Garrasi and Music Man Entertainment enough for making our wedding on May 24, 2025 at The State Room in Albany, NY absolutely unforgettable! From the moment we ...
first connected, Mike was warm, professional, and incredibly attentive to our vision. He took the time to get to know us as a couple, understand our style, and build a playlist that kept our personalities at the center of the celebration.
The energy he brought to the room was unmatched. From our ceremony music to the last song of the night, every moment flowed seamlessly. The dance floor was packed no joke the entire evening - our friends and family are still raving about how much fun they had! Mike knew exactly how to read the crowd and keep the energy high.
We also loved the extra touches of organization and professionalism: he coordinated effortlessly with our venue, kept us on schedule without stress, and added thoughtful details that made the night feel so personalized. We did the photobooth with him as well, and that was a HUGE hit. We even got an album at the end of the night of all the pictures everyone took.
If you’re looking for a DJ/entertainment professional who is talented, engaging, and genuinely cares about making your day perfect, Mike (Music Man Entertainment) are the absolute best. We couldn’t have imagined our wedding without him and will be recommending him to everyone we know!

We got married on 7/31/25 at The Inn at Erlowest in Lake George, and hiring Mike from Music Man Entertainment was one of the best decisions we made! From our first Zoom call, Mike’...
s energy was infectious. He’s kind, funny, and clearly passionate about what he does.
We’re from Staten Island, so this was a destination wedding for us. We weren’t sure where to start with music, but Mike took our favorite songs and built the perfect party. He read the room flawlessly, handled guest requests like a pro, and made the best game-time decision to end the night with Ocean Avenue. It was truly unforgettable!
We also used his mirror photo booth, foam light sticks, and CO2 gun, which took the party to another level.
If you want someone you can fully trust to bring the fun, keep the energy high, and make your wedding feel like the best night of your life, Mike’s your guy.
We love you Mike! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

My only piece of advice would be to BOOK HIM EARLY in advance since he’s SO GOOD and so popular! Thank you Music Man for everything and making our wedding the best night ever!

Music Man Mike was EVERYTHING I could have wanted in a DJ. From the ceremony to the final song, Mike was incredible. After our first consultation I knew Mike was the perfect person...
for us. We have a wide range of music taste, so I was nervous to find a DJ who would be able to capture our music taste while ensuring our guests were having a great time to. Mike exceeded our expectations. Our dance floor was hopping before dinner and then continued all night. I truly could not have asked for a better dj. When I did have questions or random concerns, Mike make it a point to call me and walk me through everything and provide his professional opinion. We also opted into the CO2 cannon and it added a fun element of the night! Could not recommend more!!!

I can't even begin to detail how fantastic Mike was to work with. What could be stressful was made so easy and effortless. Once at the wedding event, he took over and performed h...
is duties with such ease and professionalism. It was clear how fantastic of a job he performed when everyone could hear the conversation at dinner, and yet when appropriate he was able to pack out the dance floor with every single song selection. People from teenagers to 86 were rocking on the dance floor. He managed to control the entire event, yet was able to fade in to the background and build the excitement from behind the scenes. He truly dictated a wonderful wedding for my daughter and I couldn't be happier with my selection to hire Mike.
I was equally impressed with how he fit us in to his schedule even though we were located over 220 miles from his home base. He came early to set up, and was ready to entertain practically within minutes of arrival. He was highly professional, driven, energetic and extremely talented. Couldn't give a more glowing recommendation!
Thanks again Mike!!

Mike, from Music Man Entertainment, was the best DJ/MC that we could have asked for! The energy he brought to our wedding was exactly what we wanted! He was super helpful and energ...
etic not only for the entire event, but throughout the planning process as well. He was so incredibly helpful and fun/energetic to plan a wedding with, especially while living in a different state! He was absolutely phenomenal and hit the nail on the head on wedding day with ceremony fade aways/transitions between songs, cocktail hour, and the reception. He absolutely knocked it out of the park with the vibe we were going for. The dance floor was busy/packed the entire night. We stayed out there the whole night too! While out there, our guests were always cheering for the next song he played, or said "this one is a banger too" (actual quote from multiple guests hahaha!). He even stepped away/out of the room during our private last dance once he pressed play, which made that moment even more special and intimate. We were able to really soak in the decor, the venue/space, the night, and each other one last time before heading to our exit. If you're looking for a DJ for your wedding, Mike/Music Man Entertainment should be your first choice!

Mike was INCREDIBLE to work with from start to finish! His high energy and enthusiasm made us so excited for our wedding day. He spent over an hour on the phone with us to talk abo...
ut our day, on multiple occasions. He helped us plan our ceremony. His insight on all aspects of our wedding was much appreciated! He took all our our requests and made sure we heard everything we want and really considered our taste to personalize the vibe for our wedding. He surprised me with a special last song that literally brought me to tears! Also GET THE PHOTO BOOTH! It was so cool and a huge hit with our guests. The book with all the photos was such a special touch we will treasure forever. We also loved the uplighting. Added such a cool vibe to our reception! Mikes high and hype energy was so much fun during our reception. I genuinely cannot say enough positive things about Mike. We can’t wait to plan our next event just so we can celebrate with him again! THANK YOU!

Mike was the first vendor we booked for our May 2025 wedding and we are soooo beyond thrilled that we did!! Before the big day Mike was so helpful in giving us suggestions of peopl...
e he had worked with before, and was always quick to get back to us with any questions we had. At our reception Mike brought the energy, and really helped to make our day so special. We had so many of our guests stop us to tell us it was the best cocktail hour and reception music from any wedding that they had been to. Mike worked with us to play all of our favorites and curated an absolutely amazing playlist that had all of our guests on the dance floor all night!! The mirror photo booth was a huge hit as well! Eric helped the guests feel comfortable using it and we had almost every guest take pictures with all of the fun props and signs! We are so happy that we chose to work with Music Man Entertainment and I would recommend them to anyone having an event!! Mike- you are THE BEST! Thank you!!!

ok the time to get to know us as a couple and what we truly wanted for our special day. He brought so much energy to our wedding reception, we loved all the music and lights. I danced practically the whole night! Our guests also had a blast with the Mirror Photo Booth, and Chris did a great job running the booth. The photo album we received at the end of the night is such a fun souvenir that we'll always cherish. You can't find a better DJ than Mike!

Mike was awesome and easy to work with! It was easy to see when we first met how passionate he was about what he does. He was attentive and responsive throughout the whole process ...
and we loved our talks with him and got more excited after each meeting. On the day of, he was very communicative and organized, letting everyone know what was going at each step of the evening. Our guests told us that they were physically unable to leave the dance floor due to the bangers that Mike started playing early and never stopped. We had an absolute blast and our guests were thrilled with the music. Would recommend Mike to anyone, 10/10

His song choices are excellent, and he has an amazing ability to read the crowd. He is extremely reasonably priced, and his setup with the lighting and speakers is spectacular! He is the best of the best! HIRE HIM NOW!!! He's The Music Man Entertainment you need!!!

Hiring Mike as our wedding DJ was one of the best decisions we made. From the very beginning, he was so responsive, communicative, and easy to work with. Planning a wedding can be ...
overwhelming, but Mike made this part feel completely stress-free.
On the day itself, he was an absolute rockstar. He didn’t just play music—he created an atmosphere. Our dance floor was packed all night, and so many of our guests told us it was one of the most fun weddings they’d ever been to. Mike just has this way of reading the room and keeping the energy perfect.
We also loved the photobooth mirror he set up. It was such a hit with our guests, and the photo book and USB we got at the end were the cherry on top. Flipping through those pictures the next day had us laughing and reliving all the best moments.
Mike truly made our wedding unforgettable. He’s not just a great DJ—he’s someone who genuinely cares about making your day special. If you're on the fence, trust us: book him. You won’t regret it.
