First, I have to say that my husband and I originally booked Mike for a 2020 wedding date and when the pandemic hit Mike was not only communicative and reassuring as we were deciding whether to cancel/reschedule (we did), but he also held our 2...021 date for us no questions asked. Now onto that 2021 date! Mike was AMAZING!! He supplied the music/sound for our outdoor ceremony and our reception. His system is super compact/inconspicuous, wireless (important for outdoor events), and has amazing sound quality. We used his mics for the ceremony which included someone reading a poem over the phone into a microphone and it sounded perfect - though to Mike's credit, it's because he took the time to do mic checks with the reader, our officiant, and our videographers before the event (something I never would have thought of!). The whole time leading up to our event Mike was always responsive and talking with him on the phone always made my husband and I even more excited for our day. We held several calls leading up to our event (we were not local) and he even had a separate phone call with our videographer to discuss microphone feeds into the camera and to generally make sure all the tech would run smoothly. That's just one example of how he really went above and beyond what I would considered is "expected" for a wedding DJ - by the end of the event it really felt like he was part of our party! In terms of planning, his website is super easy to use and it actually helps you lay out the musical "tone" of your wedding; you can even sync up a spotify playlist. Also, something that we didn't consider when booking a DJ but that we realized we lucked out on with Mike is that you really need a great MC for your day and that is Mike - he led our guests from the ceremony to the cocktail hour, made announcements throughout our reception to keep everything flowing according to plan, and even organized our sparkler send off like a pro - you really will be able to just enjoy your day because Mike's experience and professionalism will put you at ease. Now on to the music! The dance floor was packed ALL NIGHT, which was a feat because we had a really hot day. The music was so good no one cared about the heat and it was clear that any fears of nobody dancing were not going to be an issue with Mike leading the evening. He put together a perfect list of fast and slow songs and was really able to "read the room". Also, the uplighting was so much fun - our guests loved it!! We received so many compliments on the music and on Mike in general. We really can't say enough good things about Mike so if you've made it to the end of this review I wouldn't waste any more time in reaching out and booking him.
