When my (now) wife and I were planning our wedding, I was pretty open to everything from the food, to the decor, and even the location. So I pretty much left that all up to her to decide. The one thing I knew I wanted to choose was the music/DJ.

We must have interviewed at least 6 or 7 DJ's. From the very beginning Michael stood out to us. Not only was he genuine and easy to talk to, his process of getting to know our musical taste was far superior to the generic forms the other DJ's made us fill out. Needless to say, it was a pretty easy decision to hire him.

After choosing Michael for our DJ, he quickly sent us recommendations based on the conversation we had. These recommendations came in the form of separate playlists for every part of the wedding. These playlists included artists/songs we told him we liked as well as suggestions he thought we would like. I always say a good DJ will play the songs you want to hear, while a great DJ will play the songs you didn't even know you wanted to hear. We discovered a lot of new songs from these suggestions and ended up using them in our wedding. We were also able to remove and add songs to these playlists all the way up to the wedding. Such a fun process!

While we were already impressed with Michael's musical IQ, wedding day came and we were interested to see if his DJ skills were just as good. He did not disappoint. Having DJ'd a wedding myself, I knew that we were going to be a difficult client for him because of my wife and I's vast taste in musical genres. We asked for everything from soft instrumentals, to EDM, rock, 80's love songs, pop, country, and even Latin music. Michael never missed a cue during the ceremony, Cocktail hour, or special dances during the reception. Then of course during dance hour, he absolutely killed it. He was able to get songs/remixes I requested that weren't available anywhere else. The guy is a master of his craft and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anybody looking for a DJ for any event.

From the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank Michael for making our day so special. He truly went above and beyond any expectations we had. We hope to be able to work together with him again in the future

Thank you Michael! You helped to bring our dream wedding to life! The music you added to the ceremony, your open communication and support meant so much to us. The best feedback was that everyone loves the playlist. I was floating everywhere and that was always stated when I asked how they were feeling. For me it was being able to dance to Rufus Du Sol surrounded by my loved ones and still having a private moment with Donnell. Our families got to witness what happens constantly at home. We dance and sing together.

Bottom line, we created a vibe for our guests through the music selection and energy. Forever grateful!

Mike was AMAZING to work with!! From the moment we hired 949 to the day of the wedding, Mike helped us every step of the way to allow for the smoothest day ever! Our wedding was back in October and still hearing compliments about the mixes and music from our guests to this day! Mike does a great job at customizing the mixes and adjusting based on the dance floor vibes. No premade sets. The dj booth had a beautiful custom logo with our initials which was a small detail that we loved. Also shoutout to our amazing MC Joanne! Can't wait to work with 949 Studio again for future events :)
