Victoria says, "Would you like a DJ who understand your do not play list, can respond to the crowd, and keeps everything running smoothly the whole night? Then Mike Farmer is EASILY your best choice. We had a very eclectic music selection and he found a way to work all of it into the reception. He kept the night flowing smoothly and was never on the mic for too long (a big peeve of mine). He is so easy to talk to and all our meetings and phone conversations pre-wedding made me feel incredibly at ease about him and his work. Our guests are still raving about our amazing DJ and it's over a month after the wedding!" Read more

Amazingly personable and just had a sense of exactly what I needed before I even realized it myself!

Mike was super helpful, professional and very nice to work with. We only had three months to plan our wedding so we didn't have time to choose every single song , so we left it up to Mike (we just chose our first dance song). Every song he chose was perfect and he let our guests to choose certain songs during the reception. He also made us a monogram which turned out very lovely.
