We decided pretty early in our wedding planning that there were three things that we wouldn’t skimp on: Food, Booze, and Music. The first two were easy. We found a restaurant we liked and rented it out for the night. Perfect. I won’t lie tracking down the third was a little more tricky. We’d both been to weddings that, while beautiful and full of friends, were boring and done early because the music left a whole lot to be desired.

When looking for a wedding DJ we had some rules: 1. No Chicken Dance, Hustle, anything that involved synchronized dancing, 2. We wanted to be in charge of the music, 3. Only Soul and Motown, and maybe a few other crowd-pleasers (The Boss, Jawbreaker, etc.). Not a lot of wedding DJs are into following these rules and much fewer even had what we wanted to hear. A friend suggested Mike and after meeting to discuss what we were going for we were satisfied that we had found the right person for the job. Mike created a playlist that was perfectly tailored to the cocktail hour, flowed perfectly into dinner and then got everyone up and dancing (even a 90-year-old aunt) until the end of the night.

Planning a wedding can be a lot of work and it was really nice not to have worry about a really important part of our wedding. Mike was set up and ready to go when we arrived at the venue, he had contacted the venue himself and didn’t need any direction from us the day of. It was perfect. We couldn’t have hoped for a better experience.
