The best wedding dj and master of ceremony we could have ever hoped for!
Wow!! Where do we begin… THE BEST WEDDING DJ AND MASTER OF CEREMONY WE COULD HAVE EVER HOPED FOR! Mike managed to calm our nerves before they even began, he ensured the running of the whole day went as planned and we didn’t need to think about a thing other than enjoying the day!
We got so many compliments on how amazing he was and honestly we agree, from the music, to the running of the day and the games he played we honestly couldn’t recommend him enough!
We didn’t not only gain an amazing vendor we gained an extra member of the family that day and we hope that we will be able to see you again!
Love Mrs and Mrs Lucas ❤️

An outstanding wedding DJ and Master of Ceremonies
We booked Mike on the recommendation of our venue and it was one of the best decisions of our entire wedding! He acted as our master of ceremonies and wedding DJ and was excellent in both capacities. From the start of the experience, everything was really organised and well managed. He immediately understood what we wanted from the music at our wedding and gave us an indication at our initial meeting of how he would see the night going – it showed how in turn he is with every couple he works with and really helped make our decision to go with him. The app which he uses to plan the vent is a fantastic idea. It meant we could keep on top of all of the arrangements for the day and change them as and when we came across new ideas, while also allowing us to change our all important evening playlist as and when we needed to! DJ Mike also offers a photo booth which was very reasonably priced and seemed to keep a lot of our guests occupied during the day, so that is one thing less for couples to think of on their day. As Master of Ceremonies, he was a calming influence for us both and everything ran very smoothly. The biggest compliment I can give him as a DJ is that the dance floor was not empty once during the entire evening and he did an exceptional job of reading the room to keep people up and dancing. I cannot recommend DJ Mike highly enough and he is more than deserving of his numerous accolades!

A total joy to work with
Mike was a total joy to work with for our wedding evening. From our initial meeting we knew he was going to smash it. He brings such a fun energy to his planning and really showed his expertise when talking through music choices and scheduling the evening from the first dance to the last. Everyone had a brilliant time on the dancefloor and it's clear Mike loves what he does. We would thoroughly recommend working with Mike.

Fantastic DJ & MC - highly recommend
We couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our wedding! From start to finish, DJ Mike brought incredible energy and created the perfect atmosphere for our special day. He was more than just a DJ—he was a fantastic host, keeping everyone engaged and making sure everything flowed smoothly.
One of the best parts was the effort he put in, to learn about our music tastes and his easy-to-use app, which allowed us to select our must-have songs ahead of time and let guests make requests too. It was such a thoughtful addition that made everything feel personalised and seamless.
So many of our guests raved about the music and vibe! Thank you, DJ Mike for helping make our wedding unforgettable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a highly-skilled DJ who truly goes above and beyond!

Kathryn & Lee - Sandon Manor - August 2024
What can I say, Mike is incredible and a master at what he does. He ensured our day was absolutely perfect from start to finish and we are so grateful and happy we chose him for our special day.
Despite the weather not playing ball, Mike, our photographer Erica and the Sandon team went above and beyond to ensure our day ran so smoothly. We didn't have to worry about a thing and we were just able just to soak up the love, laughter and special moments in our day. The transition from our wedding breakfast to party was brilliant and ALL or our guests have deemed our wedding the wedding of the year and we could not have had that without Mike doing what he does best. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
Everybody needs a master or ceremony & DJ like Mike but he is so much more than that. I will never forgot those few nervous moments walking from the house to our ceremony but being meet with the warmest hug and smile from Mike before making my entrance! Just what I needed and the day was perfect from start to finish! M

The best!
Mike is the most incredible DJ you could ever ask for! Honestly, he’s the best of the best, you will not regret booking with him. He is so dedicated and passionate about his job, he puts in so much effort to get to know his couple & plans the music to fit the whole experience. He brings so much fun and energy into the whole day! He went above and beyond, even helped us organise our guests for photos, helped plan out our day so it would all run smoothly and everyone loved him. The MR and MRS game is hilarious! He really does think of every small detail and it makes a huge difference! Thank you Mike for being the most amazing wedding DJ and making our day so special! Best there is!!

Best wedding DJ!!!
DJ Mike was absolutely incredible! He was with us all day and his performance was outstanding from start to finish. His app planning system made it easy for us to personalize our wedding soundtrack, which we loved.
Mike's expertise really shone through during our planning session. His honest advice about keeping the party atmosphere alive was spot-on. The interactive elements he included, like the advice cards and Mr. and Mrs. game during dinner, were huge hits - our guests are still talking about them!
As both DJ and MC, Mike expertly managed the flow of our day. His music selection was perfect, keeping the dance floor packed all night. We were thrilled when one of our guests went on to book Mike for their own after seeing him at ours!
If you want a DJ who goes above and beyond, Mike is your guy. His professionalism, talent, and ability to engage the crowd make him a standout choice. We can't recommend him highly enough.
Thank you, Mike, for making our wedding day unforgettable. You truly exceeded our expectations!

Absolutely the best wedding Dj
Absolutely brilliant Dj . Would recommend Mike to anyone looking for a DJ for their wedding . He met us prior to the wedding to listen to how we’d like the day and evening to look like and also came up with some great suggestions to add to a fun and relaxed atmosphere that we wanted . So many guests complimented Mike on the music and his Dj skills and reading the crowd in terms of music . Such a warm and friendly person and really made our wedding day and night extra special . Recommend the digital Photo Booth he supplies . Went down so well with the evening guests at the reception and got people on the dance floor . He also arranged a beautiful white dance floor and lighting .
Mike is your guy for the best wedding . Great at coordinating everything.

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!!

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!

I have over 10 years’ experience in the wedding entertainment industry. I am a successful wedding DJ and have made literally hundreds of couples’ wedding days unforgettable by delivering quality music and entertainment for them, their friends and their loved ones.
In addition to being a professional wedding DJ, I’m also the owner of the highly successful DJ business, Disco Factory UK (also based in Hertfordshire). Through this venture and my frequent DJing, I have established myself as a reliable professional and someone who is able to consistently deliver quality events – my reviews speak for themselves!
I know how stressful your big day is already turning out to be for you ahead of time and I am here to alleviate some of that stress by working with you to deliver your perfect wedding party.
