Incredible!
Can’t recommend Mike enough!
Our wedding was absolutely perfect from start to finish and Mike helped to make the day one to remember.
The communication on the lead up to the wedding was 10/10 and even had his own app where we were able to upload all music we wanted for every aspect of the day.
From the amazing playlist all throughout the evening alongside the Sax and Bongo players , which we had so many compliments about from guests, to the Mr and Mrs game and advice cards during the wedding breakfast, everything was incredible.
We really believe our day wouldn’t have been so perfect without Mike there.
Thank you so so much for helping to make our wedding the best day of our lives! I really wish we could do it all over again!

The best dj ever!
We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ than Mike!! He created an amazing atmosphere and kept the party going all night long. From the moment we started planning, he was incredibly friendly and professional, making us feel relaxed and confident that everything would go smoothly.
Mike went above and beyond to help announce and organise different parts of our wedding, including the confetti shot, speeches, cake cutting, and more. His attention to detail and seamless coordination made our day run so much smoother.
Our guests absolutely loved the photo booth, which added an extra layer of fun to the celebration. People are still talking about how much they enjoyed it! Additionally, the DJ booth looked perfect and fit the aesthetic of our wedding beautifully.
We would recommend Mike to absolutely anyone looking for the best DJ and MC for their event. He truly helped make our wedding day unforgettable.

The absolute BEST!!
Wow! Where do I even start!? Mike was absolutely unbelievable!
We met Mike on a open day at our wedding venue and from that moment we knew we didn’t want anyone else to not only DJ at our wedding but we knew we needed him there all day and we were not wrong!
Mike filled us with so much confidence and excitement about our big day, his positive energy brought us so much joy.
There’s no my one of our guests that I’ve spoken to who didn’t enjoy the music and entertainment, we’ve even had a few of our guests book Mike since our wedding!
Our day couldn’t have ran any smoother if we tried, not one little hiccup all thanks to the lovely team at our wedding venue (Millingbarn) and also a massive thank you to Mike, he catered to our every need!
The selfie pod was also a massive hit!
We switched it up with our music and didn’t go with the typical wedding go to songs but more to our own taste with a lot of R&B, old rap & new rap and Mike definitely delivered this in the best way possible, I can confirm neither myself or Luke left that dance floor - it was full the whole night!
So.. if you’re looking for an incredible DJ/MC Mike is definitely your guy!
From the bottom of my heart thank you so so much!!

Incredible!
Mike was absolutely sensational! He was the first supplier we booked once we booked our wedding venue! And he was amazing from day one.
We loved that you get an app to add all of your music to every part of the day and you can add and change as you go. We had a meeting with Mike a few weeks before the wedding and we went through all the details and the one thing we really loved about Mike is that he was always honest with us about what would work to keep the vibe alive and he was absolutely right!
But the biggest thing for us was the advise cards and mr and Mrs game during the wedding breakfast it was such a nice way to get everyone interacting and people are still talking about it a month later!
I could go on and on about how amazing Mike is but then this review would be even longer than it already is! But if you’re looking for a wedding DJ and MC take this as your sign to book Mike while you can!
Thank you Mike again and again!

Next to none
We had Mike as our DJ for our wedding in March. From our first pre-wedding call we knew we had picked the best of the best. He is so much more than a DJ, helped with handing out confetti, organising photos, making necessary announcements and making sure my husband and I were happy with the things he was doing.
He made all of our room entrances incredible, guests waving napkins, advice cards and after our meal he had us playing Mr & Mrs.
Incredible set up and music. Mike is an altogether lovely man and extremely good at what he does - would definitely use him for any other events should I have them.
Highly recommend!

A real find
Hiring Mike to be our wedding DJ was a very easy decision. There is a reason he’s received the accolades he has. Right from our first meeting he was easy to deal with, and genuinely interested in understanding what a great party looked like for us. His App made it easy for us to consider and communicate what we wanted him to play, and he was brilliant at advising around how we might blend different genres of music to suit all types and taste. He even helped us “orchestrate” our first dance. We’re not ones for “cheese”, nor anything overly formal and Mike got that. The package we chose included a selfie machine which was a real hit and has provided us with some fabulous mementoes. I would have absolutely zero hesitation in recommending Mike’s services– he will ensure a wedding party to remember. We have had SO many compliments. Thank you, Mike!

The best dj!
WOW! Just wow!
Mike exceeded all our expectations, assignment well and truly understood.
He was such calming presence all day, and made it so much easier for my partner and I to be present with our guests, knowing you would put us where we needed to be.
The DJ set was absolutely epic and he smashed it! I did not want to leave the dance floor and I don’t think any of our guests did either.
Mike is absolutely incredible at what he does, and we cannot recommend him highly enough!
Thank you Mike for making my dance floor wedding dreams come true

Best wedding DJ around!
Mike is so much more than just a wedding DJ! His passion and attention to detail made our wedding truly unforgettable. He was incredibly helpful during the planning process and really made sure that all the music was perfectly tailored to us and the vibe we wanted to create. He is amazing as an MC, worked alongside our venue to make sure the day ran completely smoothly, and our guests loved his energy (and the fun additional details like Mr and Mrs game and couples advice cards!). Thanks to Mike we didn't have to worry at all and could fully immerse ourselves in enjoying our day. The music in the evening had everyone on the dance floor for hours, Mike is a genius at knowing what works and how to keep the energy going all night long! Thank you so much Mike!

Halloween Wedding
Mike was our Dj for our wedding and all I can say is wow. We got married on Halloween and Mike went above and beyond with not only our theme but as well with our playlist ideas!
Mike has great energy and was such a support as well on our big day. He really helps run the show and he does it with a huge smile on his face. You can tell this man loves what he does and his passion for his work is unparalleled!
Mike really help us make our day special and all my guests loved him and his energy. All my guests have said to me after the wedding how fun and energetic Mike is and they all loved him!
Can’t thank Mike enough for everything he did to make our day amazing. From helping coordinate guests for photos, keeping guests entertained as well as making some last minute changes on the fly which shows the level of professionalism of his work!
Once again, thank you so much Mike! Definitely recommend and definitely would rebook in a heart beat!

The perfect MC and DJ
Mike was amazing in the build up to and throughout our big day. Not only did he keep things running smoothly and on time, he also put on an brilliant set in the evening, integrating both our music tastes as well as putting his own spin on it - our guests were crying out for more at the end! Mike also gave us some great general wedding advice in the months prior, which really came in handy.
Would thoroughly recommend to anyone! Cheers Mike

Legendary DJ
Mike is an amazing and incredibly talented DJ! After some uninspiring meetings with other DJs, we were blown away and energised after our initial meeting with Mike and came away excited for our big day! Mike was incredibly responsive and professional throughout the planning process and gave us some brilliant hints and tips for other elements of the wedding from his wealth of experience. On the day itself, Mike was MC and DJ so was with us for the whole day and really kept things flowing, always checking in if there was anything we needed. The Mr & Mrs game was brilliant fun during the wedding breakfast and the music from start to finish was on point. As for the party itself, it was epic and Mike really knows how to read a room and play music to accommodate everyone's tastes. Mike really made the day memorable for which we will always be grateful. We could not recommend him enough.

The most amazing memories made
Would recommend Mike to everyone, from the moment we reached out to him to DJ at our wedding to the big day, Mike was very helpful & gave good advice when it came to getting everyone engaged in the evening entertainment. Mike played everything we asked and went above & beyond with any requests that came his way on the night.
We appreciate everything Mike done, great set up, made our evening & most importantly ensured our family & friends made the most special memories together.
Thank you Mike.

We knew we had to have DJ Mike before even booking our venue. From booking & first online meeting Mike offered such a personal tailored service to really make your day all about you which was amazing. Having Mike as our Master of ceremonies during the day as well as the evening meant we could fully relax and know that everything was under control. Mike is simply amazing and we would 100% recommend him for any event. Our day went without any issues and we can’t thank him enough for the level of service he provided before and during the wedding which went above & beyond the music. Thank you for making our wedding day amazing Mike!
