ay, from the perfect welcome vibe, to cocktail hour, to family dance time and then full on club vibes for the last hour with our friends. The dance floor was packed and stayed packed all night!!
Mike was amazing to work with throughout the planning process (and very patient with me through all my details, requests and changes ).Also, highly recommend the addition of a photobooth! It was a HUGE hit! Everyone loved getting their photos printed on the spot, and being able to design our own monogram added such a personal touch to the day too.
Mike is so funny, personable and easy to work with. People are STILL talking about how fun our wedding was, and it's honestly thanks to him. If you're even thinking about booking him -- do it!

ay music—he created an unforgettable experience that made our day feel absolutely magical.
Our guests barely left the dance floor all night long. Mike perfectly mixed classic favorites, today's hits, and everything in between. He even amped up our T-shirt toss with some DMX, which had everyone laughing and energized. To top it all off, he ended the night with everyone gathered together singing and celebrating to "New York, New York"—a moment we'll never forget.
One of the things that makes Mike so special is how connected he is to the people he works with. Having DJed so many weddings for our friends and family, he knew so many of our guests and even gave shout-outs for birthdays and anniversaries throughout the evening. Those personal touches made everyone feel welcomed, celebrated, and part of something special.
Mike was not only our DJ—he officially became family. We cannot say enough wonderful things about him. If you want a wedding that is fun, seamless, personal, and truly magical, Music Man Mike Garrasi is the person to book!

Amazing DJ, worked amazing with our music styles. We opted to trust Mike and instead of giving him a long Playlist of "must play" songs, we explained our music preferences and gave...
him a few song examples. He proceeded to play a set that was better than anything we could have expected. The dance floor was an absolute blast at our wedding and we couldn't recommend Mike enough.

We had the pleasure of having Mike as our DJ for our wedding. He was incredible from start to finish. He was really on top of things and made the event go very smoothly. He's easy ...
to talk to, has a great vibe, and I loved talking music with him. If he wasn't so busy DJ'ing, I would have invited him on the dance floor.
He handled last minute changes very well, adapted quickly, and took charge on several occasions to make sure ceremony, speeches, dancing, and vibes were all perfect. That's the leadership you want in a DJ. I didn't have to worry with Mike at all. He gave me peace of mind, allowing me to enjoy my wedding so much more. These qualities will make your evening extra special.
Mike is your guy. Highly recommend his services and will definitely be hiring him in the future.
(My favorite part of him at my wedding was seeing him sing along to our favorite music with my guests and I!)

Mike was the BEST DJ EVER!!
We could not have had a better experience with a wedding DJ from the first phone call through the last song.
Throughout the planning process Mike was ...
responsive, helpful, gave suggestions, and ALWAYS happy and laughing throughout it all.
On the day of he went above and beyond. He made every single thing we wanted happen 10 fold. At the end of the night the father of the bride asked for one last song and he obliged with laughter. All of our guests were saying how great the DJ is and even now, days later, people are still talking about it!!
Even throughout the ceremony he was constantly reassuring us that the wedding was going great, our first dance was perfect, our guests were awesome and having fun, etc.
AND COTY !!!!! Mike brought Coty to be our photobooth attendant and he was a joy. He explained the photobooth over and over to everyone, remembered guests who came back for more photos, and brought us our beautiful guest book of photos at the end of the night.
Mike and Coty also worked wonderfully with all of our other vendors. They were well oiled machine and as a result our day went perfect. We could not have asked for anything better and when people ask what the secret to such a great wedding was, let me tell you, Music Man Entertainment is one of the secrets !!!!

If you want a wedding where the dance floor is filled all night, every transition is smooth, you know every detail has been worked out already, everything you’ve dreamed comes true...
and is even made better, and one where your guests will be saying “that was the best wedding I’ve ever been to”, then Mike is the man for you!!! He is a true professional and had the best suggestions and techniques to make our day better than we could have ever imagined. We see why he is so well-recommended. It was so surreal to see EVERYONE from our crazy college friends to our grandparents out there laughing and dancing all night long!!! He was amazing in the planning process and had the best suggestions for how to make everything run smoothly and what songs should fit in where. I remember when we were standing outside our reception about to make our grand entrance thinking “he has everything handled and this really is going to be the best night ever”! And wow was I right! Book Mike you will NOT regret it!!

With two different cultural backgrounds, it was so important to us that both families caught a vibe & Mike absolutely nailed it. He blended everything together effortlessly, and our guests were blown away by his expertise!! I truly can’t thank him enough. Music is what makes a wedding fun, and Mike brought all the energy and more! He even included a slideshow of our engagement photos during dinner on his DJ booth, and the uplighting was incredible. Christian and I can’t fully put into words how amazing he was. Our wedding was truly a dream come true, and Mike played such a huge part in that. Mike should 100000% be your first call if you’re planning a wedding—you’ll love him from day one & he will make sure your wedding is EPIC!!! Wish we could go back and relive our day over again.

h him was on a completely different level. He is truly amazing and went the extra mile to make our night perfect! He has an incredible setup! He let us submit personal photos that he displayed on a slideshow on his DJ stand all night, along with a beautiful custom monogram of our names. It added such a professional and personal touch to the room. Leading up to the wedding, he was so proactive about scheduling phone calls to review every detail. We felt completely heard and confident going into the big day. He is so engaged and energetic! His excitement during the planning process and on the day of the wedding made everything feel so special. He kept the energy high and the dance floor packed. He was amazing with song requests! He made sure both we and our guests heard the songs we loved, and he even provided fun props that everyone had a blast with. He truly cares about making your wedding unique and high-energy. We would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ who does it all!

Mike Garrasi of Music Man Entertainment provided DJ services for our wedding reception, but it truly felt like so much more. From start to finish, he went above and beyond to ensur...
e every musical and audio detail ran seamlessly.
One example that really stood out was during cocktail hour. Mike set up an additional audio system in the cocktail space to keep the room filled with music while our live musician transitioned from the ceremony. It was a thoughtful touch that kept the energy consistent and showed how proactive and detail-oriented he is.
Throughout the planning process, Mike was incredibly organized and professional. He expertly guided us through every music decision and helped us think through timing, flow, and key reception moments. His emcee skills are unmatched and truly set the tone for the entire evening. He struck the perfect balance of polished, engaging, and fun without ever overpowering the room.
Hiring a DJ you have not heard live before can feel like a big leap of faith, but we are so happy we chose Mike. He is an absolute expert, and we highly recommend him.

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!

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!

There aren't enough stars to express how incredible Mike was! From the very first interaction when choosing a DJ, to the final song of our wedding night, Mike's energy and professi...
onalism were absolutely unmatched. Everyone we've spoken to since the wedding has said the same thing: "Your DJ was the best I’ve ever seen at a wedding!" And they’re right. 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!

ined on point, hitting all cues, and maintaining the appropriate ambiance from ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception to the end of the night.
I am very pleased with Mike’s professionalism and gracious attitude. He was flexible with last minute requests, easy to talk to, and really made us feel our satisfaction was his only priority.
We also loved the additional services he provided such as the personalized monogram, photo slideshow, up lighting, and Photo Booth. We got a lot of compliments on them all and I highly suggest taking advantage of them to enhance your ambience and overall experience.
Excellent job, Mike the Music Man!!

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!!!
