We hired Michael for our wedding in February 2026. This is my families second time using Michael for a wedding. First my sisters in 2021 and then my own wedding this year. It's rea...
lly not hard to see why we continue to use Ovation Entertainment for our special events. His dedication to his work, his professionalism and his talent is unmatched. From the moment we started working with him he made us feel like such a priority. From cutting music to helpful suggestions he really made the planning process enjoyable. On our wedding day he really made it feel like a party all night long and no one left the dance floor because he made it that fun for us. We truly can't express how much he did to make our wedding day perfect. Thank you so much Michael, we hope to see you again for our future parties!
DJ Michael was amazing to work with!! He did my brother’s wedding back in 2019, and did my wedding in November! He was so thorough having multiple meetings helping us set up the ti...
meline for the day. He kept everyone on the floor dancing!! 100% recommend!
DJ Michael was absolutely amazing and a key part of making our wedding day unforgettable! From start to finish, he exceeded all our expectations.
He was incredibly detail-oriented...
, thoughtful, and so much fun to work with. Michael brought an energy that kept our dance floor packed the entire night, and his thoughtful touches—like the fun props—added an extra layer of excitement that our guests absolutely loved.
His professionalism and enthusiasm made the entire process seamless, and he truly understood how to read the room and keep the party going. Our wedding day would not have been the same without him, and we are so grateful for the joy and energy he brought to our celebration.
If you’re looking for a DJ who will make your wedding unforgettable, look no further than DJ Michael. Highly, highly recommend!
I have waited a long time to have Michael as my DJ! First witnessing his craft at my friends wedding, recommending and witnessing him at another friend's wedding, my brother's wedd...
ing, my parents anniversary party, and now my wedding! He is truly unmatched and knows how to get the dance floor moving no matter the audience or the age. Look no further, he has to be your DJ! You are missing out if not!
Michael’s work with us to incorporate our music wishes into the wedding ceremony and reception was outstanding. He clearly focused on details to make the music plan for the weddin...
g ceremony and reception, and that resulted in it being perfect. Michael took the time to learn about our family and incorporate that into the reception. His energy and enthusiasm during the reception helped make the party.
Thank you for helping make our wedding fun.
Michael at Ovation Entertainment is absolutely exceptional! He goes above and beyond in every way. I could tell within the first few minutes of our initial consultation that this...
is someone who has been in the business for a long time, has seen it all, keeps current, and knows how to curate the vibe for an exceptional wedding night.
We had several meetings leading up to our wedding day where Michael provided value that goes beyond his job description - he provided invaluable advice for our timeline, the overall flow of the evening, and how to ensure that each musical moment evokes the feeling we wanted for ourselves and our guests. He is also an excellent communicator and worked seamlessly with our coordinator, deferring to her appropriately while providing great insight on the aspects of the evening under his purview. On the day of the wedding, he brought the best kind of energy, nailed every cue, and had everyone on the dance floor all night long (which is particularly impressive since I wouldn’t consider our group to be big dancers)!
It was truly a night to remember thanks to Michael. He’s well worth his very-reasonable fee and he’s truly earned my trust as a reliable vendor and a person with integrity. If you’re on the fence, just book him!! :D
My wife and I highly recommend Ovation Entertainment if you are considering them to be your DJ & MC for your wedding/next event. Since our first conversation with Michael, we felt ...
very comfortable and reassured by his professionalism and experience. We had a large wedding and we were both nervous about how the day would go and whether we would be able to keep everyone entertained and happy. Michael was always happy to help and provided great advice to us. On the day of our wedding, he did an amazing job as a DJ to keep the party going and as an MC to keep everyone entertained throughout the night. Our guests had a lot of compliments for him and even told him directly that his setlist was lit at the end of the night! If that isn’t proof enough of his skill, we don’t know what is!
I hired Michael to be the DJ for my wedding at the Richard Nixon Library. I had some unique ideas that I wanted to try and Michael was enthusiastic in helping me achieve my vision....
We met several times before the wedding and went over all the details. He anticipated potential problems before they arose and on the day of the wedding, he had everything working perfectly. In addition to being a world-class pro that perfectly interacted with our guests and played spot-on music, he provided lighting that transformed the space into a magical place. I'm somewhat particular when it comes to lighting, and he blew my expectations away. Even during the dancing portion of the reception, he was constantly transforming the room with his lighting. Michael is more than a DJ- he's a wedding wizard. He really helped me bring what I had in my head to reality and I couldn't have done it without him. I enthusiastically and whole-heartedly recommend you hire Michael for your event. Thanks for all your help Michael!!
Do it. Lifesaver. Party Starter. Emcee Extraordinaire
Michael is a life saver. You fill out a list of songs on his site so he learns your taste and then he tailors the night aroun...
d you. And if you give him enough leeway to add great songs from other genres and eras, he will modify the playlist on the spot to keep the audience engaged, dancing, and energized the whole night through. But he’s more than just music, lights, and fun party items to keep the guests moving, he’s basically your Emcee, DJ, and coordinator rolled into one. He even helped us find our missing Wedding Cake when the Kitchen Staff couldn’t find it. Worth the money. ABSOLUTE LIFESAVER
We hired Michael as our wedding DJ and we were unbelievably happy with his product. Michael is an absolute professional. You can just tell straight off the bat that he has done thi...
s for his entire life, and this is his true calling.
From beginning to end, he was on-top of every single thing in the planning process to the actual execution. The reason we went with Michael was because we had recently attended my friend's wedding where Michael was the DJ and it was an absolute blast. We wanted to bring that same energy and level of excitement to our wedding that had a heavy emphasis on dancing and music.
He made sure to meet with us on multiple occasions to develop a timeline of the day and to ensure that each detail was nailed down prior to the date of the wedding. He's also full of great recommendations and suggestions, and on the day of he was in lock-step with our wedding planner. He comes with all of his own equipment (table, lighting, mic set-ups, audio set-ups, etc.) and he breaks it all down. Michael is very well spoken, has a great sense of humor, and is just such a professional through and through. We cannot recommend Michael enough!
Michael was truly the best DJ my new husband and I could have asked for. He was so attentive, knowledgeable, and caring throughout the entire planning process. On the day of, he wa...

f to help us with the wedding planning process. We met multiple times before the wedding to talk through all of the details, and he gave us a lot of great ideas. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone who is planning a wedding. He is amazing!
We met Michael threw a mutual friend, and we are so very grateful! She spoke nothing but wonderful thing about him, and she was absolutely right. Michael is the best! We booked him...
in 2019 before the pandemic and had originally planned a 2020 wedding and reception. Due to the pandemic we weren’t able to have a reception. I kept emailing Michael, trying to update him on where we were at. He never abandoned us. He stayed in contact with us for years and when in 2021, I told him I’m letting go of the big reception in December, I’m sure he had no idea that a few days later I’d ask him for something crazy: is he available for a Sunday in August cause I’m doing a very small, spontaneous reception. He was so down! He helped us plan the schedule, music, and he let me vent to him when I was going crazy with planning. He’s not only helpful, but he’s genuinely supportive and empathetic toward couples planning, esp during the pandemic. On the day of, he was one if not the best thing about our party. He set the mood, he hyped us up, he communicated, he did things that arguably he didn’t have to do, like help the venue with small tasks. He is amazing. We couldn’t have done this without him. I got nothing but impressed guests complimenting us for having Michael. Thank you so much Michael! We all love and adored your hard work and support. We’d be lost without him. So, do not hesitate to book him. You’ll not be disappointed.
Michael at Ovation Entertainment blew us away! He was our extra planner up until the wedding, making sure we had every detail thought out and planned for. We loved working with him...
. On the big day - he turned our wedding into a PARTY! We had guests tell us this was the best wedding they had ever been to. Michael kept the party going at all times and brought out surprises throughout the night (Glow Sticks, Light Up Rings, Fun Hats, etc). Our Guests could not get enough of the dance floor toys! He kept on schedule, was very professional, and had the perfect mix of music & MC to go with the sentimental moments and the fun moments. Michael is the BEST DJ you could ask for, and we couldn't imagine our wedding day without him.
I can’t express in words how amazing Michael is. He became like family to us and never stopped pulling out the stops. He made this process so incredibly easy for us it was insane. ...
Couldn’t have done it without him. 20 out of 10!!
Where do I begin? Michael was the highlight of my wedding planning. He is more than a DJ, he also becomes an extension of a wedding coordinator. Plus, he was in constant communicat...
ion with all our vendors.
One of the difficult parts of wedding planning is the "what ifs" for the day of and if things don't go according to plan. But with Michael, I felt like knowing he had everything organized and so put together really helped the stress of wedding planning. I was able to trust that he would make sure things are flowing and going smoothly on the day of! Even leading up to the day, he was so helpful, had as many meetings as we needed and answered all of our emails and questions so quickly.
He is also great for any advice you might need, with how much experience he has. It's a bit overwhelming going into planning things, but he was so great with giving options and advice.
The day went even better than I expected. I received sooo many compliments on the reception - from his music to the way everything flowed, to the fun props he brings!
I would recommend Ovation Entertainment to anyone getting married! You will not be disappointed.
Michael is INCREDIBLE. He is the best decision for a DJ/Emcee that we could have ever made for our wedding. From the very start, Michael’s passion, expertise, and professionalism s...
hone through that confirmed we were in the best hands. One of our favorite takeaways from our wedding was seeing everyone out on the dance floor having the time of their lives! Even months later, people are still complimenting Michael and his ability to get every single person involved. Even people who we wouldn’t typically find on the dance floor were engaged and dancing the night away. Michael’s props are such a unique element to his M.O. that truly made the entire night and we loved that we got to offer our guests something they had never seen before. He not only led the way to curate the perfect vibe for every musical element of the day, but did an amazing job working with our coordinator to iron out every little detail of the timeline. We are so grateful for him and would not have trusted anyone else to handle our special day. Thank you, Michael!
Michael made our wedding day!!! He was very detailed from the very first meeting and we knew we were in good hands. He picked up on our style of music quickly and suggested songs ...
for our ceremony that were PERFECT for us. Although he's a DJ/MC he also pretty much planned our entire day and went above and beyond to make sure we didn't need to worry about our ceremony and reception. He kept everyone dancing the whole night!! Thank you Michael for making our day better than we imagined!!!
What a professional!!! Michael went above and beyond our expectations and was a key player in the success of our wedding day. He knows what he is doing, and makes the process such ...
an ease for any bride and groom! Not only did Michael make this day special for us, he also has our friendship and respect after all he did for us! I will recommend him up and down to whomever I know because he deserves that and more. Thank you Michael!! You are appreciated and you made such a difference in our lives friend!! xoxo
Michael was an incredible DJ and MC. This man clearly has several years of experience, and it shows.
Music: Michael worked with us to really provide a great mix to my wife and I’s...
different tastes. He expertly mixed latin music (salsa, reggaeton, bachata) with hip-hop and pop, and even threw in some fun disco songs for our parents and older guests. His transitions were clean and made sense. The dance floor stayed crowded the whole night.
Host: Michael has an amazing voice, so it sounded like an actual radio DJ was hosting our event that night. He met with us several weeks before the wedding to go over music choices and the timeline in great detail. He had several suggestions on how to flow from introductions, to mother/son dance, to cake cutting, as well as several other surprises we had for our guests throughout the night.
Overall: Unfortunately, we had to make some last minute changes the day-of due to circumstances beyond our control, and Michael handled it like a pro! He truly did everything he could to keep our guests entertained, and he succeeded admirably. Our wedding day was full of great times, and even with all the excellent vendors we had, Michael was the best. I can’t recommend him enough.
Hands down the best Dj that we could have asked for! He went above and beyond and exceeded all of our expectations plus some! If the need ever arises I will 100% choose Michael aga...

Michael was outstanding from every aspect. From the very start, it was clear that Michael wanted to get to know us and help us create the wedding of your dreams. We met 4-5 times o...
ver the course of the 9 months leading up to our wedding where we discussed everything from our families to our vision for our wedding to our tastes in music. He helped us plan out a full timeline for the entire night, and made sure to think of so many details that we would have never even considered by ourselves.
We'd been to another wedding that Michael DJ'ed so we knew what to expect at the event, but Michael still blew us away! He was early to set up, and his choice of music was outstanding for everything from the pre-ceremony background music to the party. Michael worked around the sound restrictions from our venue, and still had the dance floor full all night long. We've gotten so many compliments about how much fun people had and how great Michael was.
Lastly, while I don't remember what our other bids were, it's worth pointing our that the contract/pricing with Michael was so simple and straight-forward. Michael gave us one price and everything was included - no extra charges for travel or mics/equipment or anything else. Taking everything into account, not only was Michael an incredible DJ for our wedding, but he also provided outstanding value. We can't recommend him enough.
We were referred to Michael from another friend who had recently gotten married, I had attended that wedding also. DJ is not something that was easy to judge as there is just so ma...
ny factors. From the first meeting Michael was on top of it, helped us create our preliminary schedule and suggested ways to incorporate certain songs we wanted. A few of our songs had to be edited for length and he meticulously went through them to make sure they were perfect for us. Day of was easy and he kept things moving with our coordinator. He also brought fun light up props for the dance floor towards the end of the night. Let's just say everyone was dancing all night because it was so much fun! Highly recommend!
Michael made our wedding. Guests cannot stop complimenting me on how amazing our DJ was. From the beginning he made it apparent that he cared about us and making sure our wedding w...
as perfect. He met with us on several occasions to work through a unique timeline for us, helped with song selections, got to know us, our music preferences, and how we envisioned our night. He came on time the day of the wedding with an assistant and THREE set ups which provided for a seamless night. Our ceremony had mics for us so our guests could hear both of us along with the officiant. He provided SO MANY PROPS that kept the guests dancing seriously all night long. I have family who just don't dance and I found them to be some of the last ones on the floor! He kept the timeline moving and going smooth throughout the whole night. No one had to wait, nothing felt awkward. Everything was just perfect. He is what you want for your wedding. I promise you will not be disappointed. thank you so much Michael for making our wedding unforgettable!
You are seriously a fool if you don't hire Michael McNeil for your wedding! He DJed our NYE wedding and kept the party going all night long. After meeting with him and one other DJ...
(a large company), we knew nothing could compare to the amazing individualized attention that Michael provides to all of his clients. He met with us at least four or five times to meticulously plan every detail. Michael is a wonderful entertainer, a great person, and worth every penny!
Michael did an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING JOB!! My husband and I got married back in July 2017 and from the very beginning, Michael was thorough, fun to be with and had a ton of energy! We...
enjoyed every sit-down meeting with him and all the preparation with him turned into a great wedding where EVERYONE had fun, was on the dance floor and said it was the BEST WEDDING THEY HAD EVERY BEEN TO! We could not have done it without Michael McNeil at Ovation. Don't go anywhere else. If you want the BEST DJ, see Michael. He was by far our favorite vendor and was the hardest working one! I was super pleased how much he took in our suggestions and came out with an amazing timeline that we could go off of. He was a DJ and planner in one! Super knowledgeable. We will never forget him and loved him so much! Definitely have him at your wedding!
From the very first meeting all the way to the end, you were confident and ready to take on one more customer; and that too without a planner. We can't thank you enough.
Even at t...
he last minute when our bubble guns weren't working, you pulled through for us.
Our guests can't stop talking about how great you were. They loved the props and song selection.
You truly are in the right line of work. You know what to play and when to move on to the next.
Our day couldn't have gone any better!
We look forward to referring family and friends your way, and of course us wanting to use you again and again in the future.
Thank you DJ MIKE!,
Wow! What a night! Michael MC-ed our wedding in August and it was one of the funnest parties I've ever been to. Every single one of our guests, from 3 year old to 80 year old, were...
on the dance floor almost all night long. He was like a wedding planner but better, making sure that **everything** runs smoothly, everyone has fun, and my hubby and I don't worry about a thing.
Before the wedding: Michael was always available and easy to reach. We set up 3 meetings: intro, rehearsal and final run through a few days before the wedding. He asked us a lot of questions about our tastes, family dynamics, must play and no play songs, etc. after he got the answers, he sent us a detailed plan for the day with almost every minute Planned from our grand entrance to exit. He then coordinated everything with our photographer and videographer and the hotel itself. It literally felt like we had a wedding planner in him.
During the wedding: Michael made it really stress free and fun for us. He brought different props (glasses and glow sticks) and everyone had a blast with them. People couldn't stop talking about how amazing he was the entire night.
We can't recommend him more to anyone considering hiring a DJ for their wedding. Michael is top notch, professional, caring and amazing human being.
We had been to two weddings where Michael was the DJ before, so as soon as we got engaged I called Michael to check his availability before we even started venue shopping because I...
knew we HAD to have him DJ our wedding. Of all the compliments we got on our wedding day, we got the most comments on him and how amazing he was and how he just kept the party going. He met with us three times before the wedding, guiding us toward fun ideas and helping us select good songs. On the wedding day, my brothers approached him last minute to ask for help with music for their toast and he put it all together there and then. He seriously kept th party going all night long and was so fun and so energetic the whole night. Of all my vendors, (and I truly loved almost all of them!) he is the one I would recommend the most highly. We truly would have paid double for him. He’s just that amazing.
My husband and I got married this weekend in Placentia, CA and Michael was outstanding! From the ceremony music to the reception it was flawless. He really knows how to hype up a c...
rowd and judge where to take the next song. He brought out multiple props throughout the night, including, light up rings, glow sticks, sunglasses, maracas and more! My guests loved every minute of it and raved about Michael all night! He definitely created the perfect atmosphere from start to finish!
Can't say enough good things about Michael!!!! He was a pleasure to work with and was beyond on top of things!!!! All night all our guests kept saying your DJ is amazing!!! He bro...
ught props for people to wear on the dance floor and always kept that party vibe going!!! Such a genuinely great guy and DJ!!!
BEST. DJ. EVER!! He had everyone out on the dance floor almost the entire night! He is detailed and knows how to make sure everyone has a blast.
Michael will no doubt nor disappoint for your guys special day. The attention to detail and the care that goes into his services are sublime. Glad to have seen him perform live on ...
several of the weddings I have been to.
I cannot say enough great things about Michael! He was like my own personal planner and made me a timeline for the entire day. Great attitude and great ideas!
DJ Michael McNeil is the REAL DEAL! He hands down took our wedding to another level! You know your DJ is great when your photography tells you he wrote an amazing review about him....
Michael knows how to read and feel a crowd. He is truly passionate about what he does and it shows. When we were in the planning stages of our wedding he meets with you 5 times before the wedding to ensure no stone goes unturned. He makes sure your day is seamless. A couple unique things about Michael is he so organized that he almost acts as a day of coordinator by keeping the flow of the party going. He has really great ways to keep that dance floor packed. One thing I can say for sure is, if the guests have a great time so do the bride and groom! Michael makes the party so much better! I am so glad we used Michael to DJ our wedding!! He really is the best best best!! you won't be sorry I promise!!
The.Best.DJ.Ever!! When the majority of your guests are on the dance floor the entire night, you know you chose the right D.J.. My husband and I were beyond pleased with our decisi...
on to have Michael D.J. our wedding. His professionalism, personality, and skill surpassed our expectations. He responded to e-mails in a timely manner, met with us on multiple occasions to discuss our wedding, coordinated with our other vendors, and helped us create a flawless timeline for the day of our wedding. I would definitely recommend his services to anyone!! Trust me, you won't regret it!
I really can't imagine our wedding being the amazing day it was without Michael McNeil and his amazing expertise! We met with him 3 times before our big day and he was always prom...
pt and professional. If you have the opportunity, do NOT hesitate to work with Michael! He's worth every penny and so much more!
I feel sorry for anyone who didn't have Michael as their wedding DJ!!! Working with Michael McNeil of Ovation Entertainment was an absolute pleasure.
My husband and I got married...
at Strawberry Farms Golf Club in March 2016. From our first consultation, Michael was attentive, organized, available, friendly, and FUN! Over the course of our FIVE planning meetings, Michael was not only able to create a thorough wedding day timeline and a fun and unique wedding playlist....he also took the time to get to know us as a couple. He personalized our wedding down to every entertainment detail. From our ceremony music to the last dance of the night...he did an amazing job at guiding us in the right direction, but also incorporating songs/themes that we wanted.
Michael is very organized and is a BUILT-IN WEDDING COORDINATOR! He created a very detailed wedding timeline for us, down to the minute. He kept us on schedule on our wedding day which made it so much more enjoyable for us and our guests. Nothing was rushed or had to be left out.
My favorite thing about working with Michael was his expertise. There were a few entertainment details that we were unsure about, but Michael took the time to explain why they are important and why they work. Thank goodness we listened to everything he suggested because HE WAS RIGHT. Our dance floor was full all night long! We even turned to him for advice on photobooths, florist, ceremony processional order, and our cigar bar. HE KNOWS EVERYTHING ABOUT WEDDINGS!!! All of the advice he gave us was 100% right.
HIRE MICHAEL MCNEIL. He was one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding.
Thank you, Michael!!!!!!!
Hands down the best decision we made about our entire wedding. We live in Portland, OR and had our wedding down in Orange County. Needless to say, it was insane trying to plan a we...
dding from hundreds of miles away. Michael was a SAVING GRACE. I literally might have lost all my hair without him. He was willing to plan over the phone, Skype, email and even accommodated our insanely busy schedule when we happened to make it down to OC before the wedding. I did not have a vision about our wedding before we sat down and talked with him. We had a lot of weird song requests seeing as my husband is a huge Doors fan and my family loves Springsteen. He accommodated ALL OF IT! He even edited our first dance song because we thought it had a boring break in it. He came up with great ideas I would have never thought of. He was all my family and friends could talk about. OH and did I mention he brought A BUNCH of party favors for the dance floor? My guests were literally on the dance floor from beginning to the very very end (they would have kept going if our venue allowed). It was all thanks to Michael. I PROMISE you, you won't be disappointed if you hire him. Seriously, hire him. Well worth the money. I'd pay $1,000 more. HIRE HIM.
I was referred to Michael from my sister who is a wedding planner. I am so thankful she introduced us to him as he definitely made our wedding so much fun! He spent so much time wi...
th us listening to songs and cutting songs for us so they would be just right. He even came to the venue with us to ensure he would have everything to make the night a success. At our wedding every transition was so smooth and he got the crowd so pumped up and they never lost interest. I don't want to ruin his magic but Michael brings things to hand out to the guests and it was an awesome surprise! The guest were loving it! I had so many complements about our wedding and how fun it was, so thank you Michael for your devotion!!!! We are truly thankful for your hard work and for being such an amazing DJ!!! I totally recommend him!!!
Michael is the DJ for Ovation Entertainment -- his passion is making the occasion whatever the bride and groom are looking for. We were stressed out and hired him about a month bef...
ore the wedding, and he absolutely made sure that he knew exactly what we wanted, and he walked us through the whole day from start to finish. He practically acted as our wedding coordinator, making sure that all the vendors were on the same page. He pored over every detail, down to the ages of the oldest guests and whether they should be announced or not, to recommendations on what 'events' to include (the honeymoon dance, longest marriage, etc) and met with us multiple times for hours at a time to make it happen. I was afraid of the time commitment, but he knows exactly what he is doing even for a couple as busy as we were. And, to top it off, he was definitely by far the most talked-about vendor we had, and lots of people asked for his business card and complimented us. The groom's parents have earmarked his information for their own vow renewal. I even heard, more than once, that some guests expected our wedding to be the one 'talked about years to come and how amazing the DJ was'! I know this may sound like an upsell, but Michael truly made it happen for us and the passion he has for creating these wonderful memories is apparent every step of the way.
We used him for the ceremony, which was a separate cost, as well, and even though it was outside, no one had any trouble understanding us and he was very particular about making sure the wind did not affect the sound -- he gave suggestions on style and theme for each song, based on our initial interview where he was able to ascertain our styles.
Michael Mcneil is the best DJ EVER!!! I don't know much about the ovation entertainment company but honestly michael was incredible. He was more than an dj, he was a coordinator, a...
mediator, a friend, and much more. He kept the party going and was just so fun. He has a way of getting everyone out to the dance floor and really working with you through the engagement figure out what you like and how to best serve you. He is highly recommended!!! Don't go to anyone else!!!
It was such a pleasure working with Michael! Since our first meeting, we felt very comfortable using his services as our DJ and MC! Michael was very organized and gave us lots of...
advise for our reception, which we really appreciate. Also, it helped the fact that he is one of the preferred vendors at our venue so he is very familiar with it. Our guests had so many good compliments for Michael and for the reception. We had such a great time! We will definitely recommend Michael and we hope we get to work with him in the future! :)
Michael McNeil was the best DJ/MC! He spend hours and hours of time with us before the big day, making sure that every single moment from beginning to end, was how we wanted it and...

he's a delight to work with, is VERY organized and has a wide variety of music to work with.
Ovation Entertainment came in as a referred vendor by our venue (Strawberry Farms Golf Club in Irvine, CA). Michael McNeil was responsible for the music for our ceremony and recep...
tion.
We were so impressed with Michael from the onset. Not only because the price fit our budget but because he was absolutely sincere and geniune, and most importantly, he knew his stuff. During the interview, Michael shared some important information with us to offer our selected DJ/MC since he has had multiple prior experience with our particular venue. He could've kept this information all to himself, rather he shared it with us to ensure we have a successful event regardless on who we end up hiring. That's not only generous but a very selfless act.
Michael assisted us in designing our itinerary and was very detailed oriented. His process totally helped me figure out how the entire flow should be which also helped me think about and identify other details throughout the day.
Michael made our event such a huge success! We got tons of compliments on the music and how well he motivated the crowd to get down and dance their booties! Needless to say, we had a superb time! Our guests kept saying it's the best wedding they've ever attended and we know that in large part it had to do with the music and the energy that he had help build up for us.
I consider him my fairy godfather who helped make our dream a reality. Both my husband and I agree that Ovation Entertainment was the best vendor we worked with for our event...and we had some pretty awesome vendors.
Btw, vendors who can't give you a quote upfront are shady. Ovation Entertainment gives you the quote online and his pricing is absolutely fair and very competitive.
Look no further...this is the vendor for you. I promise you!
