Shaggy Sounds was perfect.
Shaggy Sounds was the PERFECT choice for our wedding! Mike really figured us out. We pulled a lot of our music from movies we like and he spent time listening to the soundtracks an...
d selected songs for our dinner music that we'd forgotten to mention we liked! He was also cool enough to play both our wedding and our reception, which were held in two different locations, one in IL and the other in MO! We're just super grateful for Mike's attention to detail, he was an awesome addition to our day!
We are so glad we hired Shaggy Sounds for our wedding! Mike is very professional and knows what he's doing when it comes to planning out your night. He was very responsive to all c...
ommunications and helped us when we didn't know what songs we wanted. He played awesome music all night long! He even grabbed us some dessert because we were so busy mingling with guests we didn't have time to get any. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ for their wedding!
We were very pleased with Shaggy Sounds DJ service. He followed our instructions perfectly which meant no rap or foul music and limit of 1 line dance. The lighting was perfect matc...
hing our décor and decorations for our wedding. No regrets.
Five out of five stars! I was so impressed with DJ shaggy sounds! Not only was he very knowledgeable about what song goes with what, his timing was on point and he was the most tho...
ughtful DJ I have ever seen. He saw my flowers didn’t fit in the vase I brought to the venue so he went and found a bigger vase. He went and got my husband and I cake so we didn’t have to get up from the table, he knew all of our parents names and was just so courteous. He knew my favorite song so he turned on my song and had all of my bridesmaids come to the dance floor for a dance party!
You can tell he has done this about a million times!
I could go on and on!
I would suggest DJ shaggy to everyone!
You are making a great decision, just book it!
We absolutely loved working with Shaggy Sounds. Mike met with us to review the contract and answer any questions we had prior to signing with him. He was very helpful when asked fo...
r song suggestions, and he was willing to search for any songs we requested. We even changed our first dance song a few days before the wedding and he was more than willing to accommodate. We did have a "Do not play" list that Mike stuck by. When a song was requested that he was unsure of, he checked with me before playing it. Our biggest compliment about our vendors from guests were that the DJ was friendly and played the perfect songs to keep the party going. My husband and I highly recommend Shaggy Sounds!
Shaggy did a fantastic job at my daughter’s wedding! He played the songs they asked for and then some. Everyone had a great time! He also came through for us when we realized we di...
dn’t have the champagne for the toast and made sure we had some! Thanks so much, Shaggy!!
Mike is the best! He not only listened to our song requests, he also found songs similar to those we requested. He was wonderful to work with and provided my husband and I with gre...
at advice involving how to get our guests involved in song selection prior to the event. Additionally, if there are any big changes to how the evening flows, he will check in with you before any final decisions are made! For example, my brother wanted to dance with me too, but I knew Mike had made sure he asked me before they agreed to changing anything! My best advice is to make sure to send him the information he needs, especially your Do Not Play list! I honestly didn't think I had any unwanted songs until the requests came in with the RSVPs! Fill out your lists and send them in! Do that and he will absolutely make your day the best ever!
Shaggy was the best DJ we could have ever asked for. He stuck to the music we wanted and didn't play what we didn't want. If the DJ is the glue to the party, Shaggy was Gorilla Glu...
e. He was a great coordinator who kept us on schedule without being pushy. All in all, we highly recommend him as a wedding DJ! Thanks Shaggy!
Mike was so amazing! Even when we were unorganized he helped me get everything together, and entertained everyone all night! The music was great, and everyone was on the dance floo...

Asked that the vendor dedicate certain songs to family members, this was not done - 10 days after sending two emails her finally responded stating he had lost the dedication list (...
which was emailed). Many songs on our play list were not played during the reception. He also seemed uninterested and lacked much enthusiasm - bump on a log more or less. We had originally found him from our tasting for our reception and absolutely loved him and the way he took charge of the mic and had so much love for his job. Extremely disappointing - I did not expect anything like this from him. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!
Shaggy Sounds was an amazing entertainer and a total professional, and at a really, really reasonable price. We added karaoke at the last minute and Mike didn’t bat an eye. There w...
as non-stop energy on the dancefloor and this was largely because we let him do his thing. We gave him a few absolutely nots, a few absolutely musts and a general guideline on our musical tastes but that was about it and we couldn’t be happier with the results. I was first introduced to Shaggy Sounds at a wedding I photographed and I thought that they really stood out in the best way possible. There was an honest and raw energy at this wedding that Shaggy Sounds was able to recreate at our wedding too! As a bonus, they had lights set up for the dance floor that made it an absolute pleasure to photograph, the colors of the lights and the movement mimicked the vibe of the party. It was just wonderful and the dance floor pics are that much more amazing because of it. My husband and I couldn’t recommend Shaggy Sounds enough!
I have worked with Shaggy Sounds on multiple occasions, as both a client and a fellow vendor. First at my own wedding, Shaggy took great care to play the songs we just had to have ...
and also found great music that went well with our theme and music preferences! The guests loved him! I have also had the good fortune of working with Mike at a few local Chamber of Commerce events, he is always professional, a great MC and man can he come up with a great playlist for any event. So needless to say, I just had to use him again for a 1950s car hop themed retirement party which he showed up to decked in the classic "greaser" attire! He played all the great 50's tunes and the guests were rocking that dance floor! Highly recommend Shaggy Sounds!
Dj Shaggy was great! We had a nontraditional wedding and had no idea what we were doing. He used his experience and expertise to identify possible problems and make suggestions, wh...
ich we used to guide us through the timeline of our wedding day. His services, were professional, yet personal, even asking us what we wanted him to wear! He included all of the songs we wanted on your special day and even did an hour of karaoke, which our guest loved! I would recommend Shaggy Sounds to anyone!
Mike “Shaggy” is an exceptional wedding and event DJ. Professional from start to finish, he met with us multiple times to make sure the flow of the event and musical selections wer...
e exactly what was wanted. He even went out of his way to include and learn about several Indian songs for my relatives.
Shaggy Sounds has a gigantic selection of music, mood and effects lighting, and Mike is a lot of fun too.
Highly recommend Shaggy Sounds to anyone having a wedding or other event. So easy to work with, really the best.
Mike was the best DJ for the job. He went above and beyond to make sure that our day went off without a hitch. He played some great music that kept all of our guests on the floor a...
nd having a great time! He also helped in so many other ways during the reception. He is such a hard worker and that did not go unnoticed. He is the right DJ for the job and you should not even hesitate to book him!
My Husband and I had a great experience With Shaggy sounds! I highly recommend!
I just got married on September 2nd, 2017, and used Shaggy Sounds as our DJ for the reception. We could not have been happier with his services. For months between the time we ini...
tially signed on with him to the last dance on our special night, Shaggy Sounds catered to our every need and want. From changing song choices, to working with the venue to coordinate our odd request to perform a song from Phantom of the Opera for our entrance, he was super easy to work with. Every time we had an issue or needed to get in touch with him, he was always a phone call, text, or email away and responded very quickly. We highly recommend him to anyone for any event where they need a DJ.
We used Shaggy Sounds for our wedding on July 8, 2017 and I cannot recommend him enough. We even changed the date of our wedding to a date he had open - that's how much I wanted h...
im as our DJ! Shaggy met with us in person to go through a comprehensive set of questions and let us take all the time we needed. He didn't get annoyed when I changed my mind a week later. And then again a week after that. He responds to calls and texts promptly, too. When we met we went through our vision of what we wanted the event to look and feel like and who would be in attendance. He kept track of songs that we really wanted played at the reception as well as songs that we absolutely did not want played (in our case, the electric slide made that list). Our ceremony was immediately before our reception at the event venue. He very carefully made sure that the ceremony music was not only the song I wanted for each part of the ceremony, but he made sure he had the exact version of each song we selected. He had suggestions when we were clueless. He asked us about things that we would never have thought about without his help. He also coordinated with our minister and the event planner behind the scenes to make sure they were all on the same page. Throughout the night Shaggy acted as the maestro of the evening and kept everything running smoothly and on schedule from the ceremony, to making sure we knew when to cut the cake, to starting the toasts, and when it was time play a fun game, etc. He even gave me an encouraging nod when it was time for me to walk down the isle. I was worry free the entire time. His choice in music was flawless all night long and the dance floor was full of guests of all ages. I was so comfortable with him that I didn't even feel it was necessary to prepare a list of 100 songs to chose from - he just got to know us and it was so refreshingly stress-free. He is fun, professional, easy to work with, and really listens to what you want. Ladies, he even asked my colors so that his shirt and tie didn't clash. As an added bonus, his rates are really reasonable. I know he books up fast for weddings, so don't delay in calling. You won't regret it.
