Our first impression of DJ Troy was from our staycation at the Four Seasons. We were in the pool and noticed the wedding going on by the beach. We immediately clocked the live mix was so fun and impressive that we asked a Four Seasons employee if they knew who the DJ was. And it was DJ Troy. And after a call with him, we booked him. My partner and I had a long list of must haves from a DJ / entertainment vendor. Our wedding lacked many of the more traditional moments, and we wanted our wedding to be FUN and full of laughter. DJ Troy more than delivered on it all. He was so great to work with from the beginning, and he helped create one of the best nights we've ever had. Nearly every single one of our guests had compliments for DJ Troy. Leading up to the day, DJ Troy had a great music questionnaire for us to fill out and we had an in-depth conversation about what to expect from our guests and the event. He understood our vision for the day, and he wasn't just going to press play on a playlist. He gave us examples and ensured we were all on the same page. He offered his help and advice with even some of the more stressful wedding details outside of entertainment. The fact that he shared his expertise of weddings was so appreciated! On the day of our wedding. DJ Troy curated the perfect vibes. His live mix was so good, and his energy uplifted everyone else's! Our guests were dancing from cocktail hour to the very end of the night. Not only that, but he was an expert with the flow of the event. DJ Troy knew exactly when the right time for certain parts of programming was, and he helped our coordinator move the event along in a way that made it even more enjoyable. If you want to be dancing and laughing all night without a single worry, we would strongly recommend DJ Troy for your event. read more

DJ Troy was the MOST incredible DJ for our wedding! We knew we wanted a really energetic dance floor and Troy delivered! He is so passionate about his craft - he was one of the vendors who spent the most time talking to us before our wedding, wanting to know what kind of music we listen to and love, what kind of vibes we wanted for our wedding, etc. His preparation paid off, and he crafted the most impeccable vibes all night for our wedding! He never missed a cue during the more structured programming, our dance floor was never empty (he even had our parents and older family members out on the dance floor), and we loved every single song he played (including some more obscure picks that brought the house down). Our friends and family still rave about our dance floor. His set-up is also really lovely with the LCD screen, which we loved. Troy absolutely crushed it, and we couldn't recommend him more highly. read more

Don't hesitate to book Troy! Booking a DJ is so hard to do when booking a destination wedding, but Troy was amazing to work with, and took all of the anxiety away from the entertainment portion of wedding planning. It's been 7 years (this review is long overdue) but I still have friends telling me that we had the best DJ. Troy spent a lot of time making sure he understood the vibe we were going for and I pretty much only had to provide my "must have" songs to seed the playlist, and the special songs for first dance, entrances, etc. Troy kept the program flowing and it didn't feel rushed and it didn't drag on like so many receptions I've attended. The dance floor was ALWAYS full and even my grandparents got on the dance floor. The reception was so much fun, and I was able to just enjoy the moment, and dance all night. Thank you Troy!!! read more

DU Troy was amazing !!! He listened to our requests and special songs . He got my Asian friends up and dancing along with our family from the mainland . My kids had an amazing time ! Even my 86 year old mother danced ! He made everyone feel comfortable . I would recommend him to anyone planning a night of dancing . read more

DJ Troy was an awesome DJ for our destination wedding in Koolina!! He had all of our guests on the dance floor until our wedding ended at 11PM. We filled out a preference sheet for must-haves and do not plays and for everything else in between-- he mixed in a bunch of great music. He knew exactly how to get everybody on the dance floor even with our guests ranging from little kids to our grandma. He also has a great set up which includes your photo on his DJ booth. It was a really nice touch that gave the booth/dance floor/lights a very classy look. He was also very easy to work with and had great recommendations on our timeline, money dance, and music preferences. Thank you for making our wedding such a fun & memorable night!!! read more

DJ Troy Michael - Hawaii - DJs Near Me

Dj Troy really killed it with our wedding music and vibe. We got so many people raving how great the music was at our wedding and we literally danced all night. He is a witty DJ and understands how to keep the party going. He doesn't play from a Spotify playlist- he actually DJs and incorporate mixes and covers of the best songs. Truly amazing. Thank you DJ Troy for an epic day!!! read more

Troy was an AMAZING DJ for our destination wedding in Hawaii!!! I was a bit nervous about who to hire for a DJ since me and my husband live in California. However, working with Troy was a breath of fresh air!! Troy was very friendly, warm, and approachable, and you can tell that he clearly knew his stuff!! Not only was planning out the music super easy to do (Troy was very organized and gave us a music document to fill out ahead of time), but he also gave great suggestions on what to do in the Oahu area, especially if you are coming to Hawaii for a destination wedding! We got SO MANY compliments on Troy's DJ'ing throughout the wedding ceremony!! He did a great job of staying on top of the schedule and also playing all the songs we wanted to be played throughout the ceremony and reception. Troy also added in some songs in addition to what we wanted to have played, and was very intuitive in terms of what music to add to the part. His music lit up the dance floor, and seriously... it was a CRAZY wedding lol!! My friends and family were on the dance floor the entire time!! (In addition, his DJ table set-up was awesome and we were able to share our engagement photos on his LCD screen, which was a nice elegant touch!) THANK YOU for your amazing DJ work, Troy!!! I highly recommend him!!! read more

When my now-husband and I decided to have a wedding, the main reason was because we wanted to have a dance party with our friends. We knew that hiring a high quality DJ was one of our top priorities. After recently attending a couple weddings with DJs who played what sounded like a Spotify playlist (complete with spaces in between songs... what the heck...) but still charged thousands of dollars, we knew that it was important to find the right person for the job. I reached out to several DJs for quotes and got a corporate or cheesy feel from many of them. Then we had our intro call with DJ Troy. Troy used the call to explain his approach to DJing, his experience and his process, and learn more about us and our guests to make sure it was a good fit. His professionalism, attention to detail and true understanding of his craft persuaded us on that call that he was the DJ we had been searching for. We booked him during that initial call. A couple months later, we had our second call with him to go over some music choices (he gave us a google doc to fill out ahead of time). At no point did we give him a playlist or even a very long list of songs or artists we wanted to have played -- we chatted with him about the overall vibe we wanted to create at different points, chose songs for select moments (bride processional, first dances, etc), gave him a short list of certain songs and artists we like, and let him work his magic for the rest! There were so many points during the event when a song would come on and I would think, I love this song! He expertly wove together all different kinds of music throughout the night and it all culminated in the final dance party, which felt like being at a super fun night club with our friends and family. He kept our guests dancing for nearly three hours! I had so many people tell me afterwards he was the best wedding DJ they had ever experienced. A couple of big pluses -- he brought his own sound system, which was super high quality. He put lavalier mics on the officiant and my husband during the ceremony so the guests could hear what was being said. We used his mic and sound system for the speeches during the reception, which was great because our venue has a horrible sound system that renders speeches unintelligible. DJ Troy also served as our emcee, making announcements when needed but not hamming it up or telling irritating jokes. He also brought his own lights, which really enhanced the experience on the dance floor. I think the price he charges is more than reasonable given the high quality of his work and all these extras he provides. If you love music and want a professional DJ who you can trust to do his thing and not have to give a whole playlist to, I highly recommend hiring DJ Troy to work his magic. read more

DJ Troy did an amazing job for our wedding on Oahu! Easy to work with and very friendly, responsive, and professional. Biggest differentiator - he's skilled at mixing music and won't just play from a playlist. Transitions between songs are dynamic, and he's really good at feeling the vibe and energy of the moment and adjusting songs accordingly. He was the MC for the whole night and was helpful but not intrusive. You can trust that the night will be about you. Go with Troy! read more

DJ Troy was the best decision for our DJ/emcee!! What drew us in was that his DJ booth was different and had our picture on it but he has honestly exceeded all of our expectations. He was so responsive, friendly, easy to talk to, organized, and so thoughtful! I love spreadsheets and word docs to help me stay organized, especially when planning a wedding and he made it so simple! We're from California and planning a destination wedding is no joke. Our venue was in a remote location with no electricity, water or anything and he made sure to recommend a generator company so there would be no issues with electricity. He goes above and beyond for everything he does to ensure the most important day of your life goes smoothly. He is amazing and I can't say enough good things about him! We're from the Bay so we dance a little crazy but he knew exactly what bay slaps to play and made sure the guests were having the time of their lives. Sorry for the blurry photos but that's how you know we were having too much fun! We got so many compliments on the music that night! We couldn't be happier. If you're looking, you should just stop right now and book DJ Troy!! read more

DJ Troy was the best DJ we could have asked for! From the minute of our initial conversation with him, he was extremely helpful with tips for the wedding even outside the music realm. As for the music, our guests were consistently on the dance floor and consistently RAVING about DJ Troy, even after the wedding. Book DJ Troy for his unique (yet crowd-pleasing) music, friendliness, and being an overall great person to work with. read more

I'm a wedding planner and mind you I haven't booked DJ Troy for my client yet. In interviewing so many djs you can tell he is definitely a must hire because of not only his personality, but how knowledgeable he is. He is the type of Dj that can read a crowd and go with the flow. He knew what he was talking about and his set up was very clean and modern. He came highly recommended by many hotels and Bruno Mars uncle. I can see why. If you are looking for a Dj look no further. He is the perfect Dj to have everyone on the dancefloor. He also mc! That's a bonus! read more

Based on his website (first impression), I had a feeling that DJ Troy would be our DJ for our destination wedding. After speaking to him on the phone for the first time, we immediately clicked and we were on the same page when it came to music. We had the same tastes. He was so responsive and organized. He gave us a Music Planner on Google Docs to fill out and submit prior to the reception. The day of the reception, the music was ON POINT. I have never seen so many people sing so many songs before! We were non-stop! Troy knew exactly how to transition and mix and it was INCREDIBLE. Aside from being an incredible DJ, he is such a great person. Talking to him in person for the first time felt like talking to a friend I haven't seen in a long time and that made the experience even better. I would highly recommend him for anyone planning their wedding on Oahu! read more

DJ Troy was the DJ for our daughter's wedding at Turtle Bay Resort. Honestly, the party would still be going if we had not had to stop at 10 PM. Troy is a pleasure to work with-he is flexible, knowledgeable, and just all around terrific to work with. Our daughter and now, son-in-law, loved working with him and so did we. He called regularly to see if we needed any Oahu advice or ideas for our guests. His playlist ideas were just perfect for our 3 generations wedding. His ideas as to where to have the DJ booth were just perfect. Everyone danced and danced and partied, thanks to his expert work. He truly 'made' our party just fabulous and fun. He also did the sound system for the ceremony. Troy is a true professional and we highly recommend him. He's just terrific in every way. Much gratitude to Troy for a fabulous event. read more

DJ Troy was amazing! We did not have a specific list of music we wanted him to play, instead, he asked questions about us and our wedding guests and went from there! He read the crowd really well and kept us and our wedding guests dancing all night long -- and i'm seriously not kidding, some of our guests were dancing before our program even started. Our guests kept raving about DJ Troy and how awesome the music was. You will not be disappointed! read more

Every review for Troy Michael DJ shows 5 stars on Yelp since he is certainly worthy of it. My hubby and I had our destination wedding (we're from San Diego) in beautiful Hawaii two weeks ago and when it came time to research which vendors to hire for our big day, hiring the right DJ was high on our priority list. I was actually surprised at how quick Troy replied to my email inquiry back in December. It was followed by an hour long telephone conversation/interview then a follow-up email from him a few weeks thereafter. Troy is truly sincere in all his actions. We were expecting most DJ's to just show up the day of the event, not provide suggestions on our timeline for the reception, what songs to use for the wedding party intro, whatever it may be, he was so thorough and we loved it. At first, I was hesitant to hire Troy because of his price. However, when I did further research of other DJ's in Honolulu, they came short in the service I was looking for. One DJ didn't charge much, but the trade off in that could have been one that played tunes from their iPod all night, lol. Another DJ company charged a ridiculous amount which exceeded our budget by double. So after further discussions with my hubby, he budged and said to book him. The fact that Troy is engaging in our planning and even met with us twice before our big day (first time was in February when we met/interviewed all our wedding vendors) and again a week before our wedding speaks volumes of his professionalism and his dedication to his work. He even asked me to leave him a voice mail on his phone and read off the names slowly of everyone in our wedding party since he was our emcee to introduce them at the start of our reception. Who pays that much attention to detail?? Troy Michael sure does. He also provides uplighting for the room, which was a beautiful accent to our mango motif. His DJ station was pretty impressive as well, the lighted wall he had covering all his equipment looked really nice, I wasn't expecting that. He was also very helpful with planning the lighting for our personalized gobo, all our guests thought it looked great as it was displayed on the wall. We knew our reception was going to go by so quick, but I told him it was important for us to get the dancing started as soon as possible since we had to end the music by 11:00 pm. I thought his suggestions were very helpful and appreciated the fact that he was cognizant of the time the night of our wedding to make sure we were on schedule. I know he could have connected with our hired wedding coordinator for that, but I'm glad he kept us in the loop of the timeline when we were falling a little behind. The icing on the cake was that at the end of the night, he played "All My Life" by K-Ci & JoJo and had all our guests form a huge circle around my hubby and I on the dance floor. I took one look around at all our guests as we were dancing and I lost it, I was so emotional by the out pour of love and happiness I felt that night and that memory of our last dance with our family and friends surrounding us will forever be in my heart. If you're in planning mode for your wedding, I would highly recommend that you hire Troy Michael as your DJ, we couldn't get our guests OFF the dance floor since they were having such a great time, thanks to Troy. Troy- thank you for making our night a truly memorable one, you simply are amazing at what you do! read more

DJ Troy Michael - Hawaii - Good times at our wedding, thank you Troy Michael! - DJs Near Me

DJ Troy was awesome! He was very down to earth, organized, friendly and definitely open to our taste in music. We threw surprises out there and he just went with our flow. He did a great job helping us go through our program and keeping the music lively. He is well-prepared and just a great guy to have conversations about the local food and joints for drinks. Have a conversation with Troy and he will win you over in no time! read more

I would HIGHLY recommend DJ Troy for your next event. We hired DJ Troy for our wedding and it was an amazing choice. We had to postpone our wedding due to the pandemic and thankfully he was extremely accommodating and flexible. Why I would recommend DJ Tory? - Excellent music choices and customization. Any DJ can just play a list - and so can spotify - but DJ Troy asks you questions as a couple - gets a sense of your style and creates a custom set based on your preferences and the crowd. We love to dance and he got everyone on the dance floor at our outdoor wedding. - Highly experienced with the right equipment. Nutridge Estate is a newer venue with very limited power. DJ Troy knew exactly what to bring and how much power he needed. - Organized: Troy is highly responsive via email and was very easy to work with. Once we got a contract together, we could even book meetings via honeybook based on his schedule. Overall Troy was an excellent choice as a wedding DJ. He played so many of our favorite songs and even added in "Skate" by Silk Sonic right as it came out the previous day. Overall he was the best in the business and just a delight to work with. read more

Our son got married in Oahu 12.7.13. He and our DIL hired a wedding coordinator there in Oahu who...in a nut shell, was subpar and was fired a few short weeks before the wedding and we needed a DJ. From the moment I talked with Troy, on the phone, I had a good feeling. I could tell he knew, and loved, his job! He graciously accepted to be the DJ at their wedding and did an amazing job! He talked with the bride and groom to discover a little about who they were as a couple, and what their dream was for their wedding. After sharing the few special songs (i.e. first dance, father/daughter dance, mother/son dance) they trusted Troy and felt comfortable enough to give him full control of the music selection. No chicken dance or YMCA! The bride's father was so impressed he couldn't stop talking about how great the music selections were! Score! As the evening progressed, Troy's selection of music drew everyone to the dance floor. Thanks Troy for helping to make this very special day even more special!! read more

My husband and I wanted an amazing wedding dance party! Jon did a lot of research before we booked a vendor, and DJ troy was amazing. He is very quick to respond, and did a bunch of phone calls w/us to ensure that he got the vibe we were going for. He definitely delivered on the dance party! We provided him w/a general list of preferred songs, but he took care of the rest and kept our general genre/vibe we hoped for. We and our family/friends had a blast. He even did our ceremony music which was nice to have someone do both ceremony and reception music ;). He will also give you general wedding tips and info on other vendors he frequently works with. Recommend him 100% if you want your guests to never leave the dance floor! read more

Troy by far was one of my favorite vendors to work with. Planning a destination wedding from the mainland for almost 200 guests on a very popular date (08-08-08) was an undertaking in and of itself, but he helped to make it a very smooth and rewarding experience for us. From the moment I contacted him, he was professional, efficient and offered the BEST advice. He was practically a wedding coordinator! We flew to HI amost a year prior to meet w/vendors and were impressed with Troy's down to earth and friendly personality. He was already familiar with staff and policies at the Westin Moana Surfrider which was important to us, so that was helpful. Our wedding day was truly magical - he did a great job setting the right mood for our guests. We had unique entertainment aspects, including a mix cut first dance, which Troy created and sent to us almost 6 mos ahead so we could rehearse. Bottom line, contrary to what I thought should be spent on a DJ, Midnight DJs was one of the best investments we made and am so glad we obtained thier services! read more

DJ Troy Michael - Hawaii - Midnight DJ hard at work - DJs Near Me

My husband and I got married on Oahu this past October, and we were lucky enough to have DJ Troy work with us to make the reception unforgettable. He consulted us during the planning and really sought to get our vision of what the dance floor would look like. In that, he executed perfectly. DJ Troy worked hard to make us the focal point and facilitated a party that had literally everyone, young and old, tearing up the dance floor. It was a total dream come true, and a celebration that we will remember forever. It was an absolute pleasure working with someone as professional and fun as DJ Troy, and we would recommend him for most any event. He totally crushed our reception; gave us the party of a lifetime. read more

DJ Troy Michael hands down should get 10 stars! I was planning a destination wedding in Hawaii from Los Angeles and my (now) husband and I are really particular about music/DJ's, being that we are somewhat in the music scene. We were nervous to book someone on the island that we had never met, but I went with Troy Michael based on all these fantastic reviews. Honestly, the reviews don't even do him justice- he is the BEST!! He brought so much energy and kept the party going constantly. He was also so positive and professional and everyone was commenting on his magic. I have NEVER seen my father dance, and I now have that memory to thank him for. ;) If we lived on the islands we would book him for all of our special events. If you are thinking of booking him- DO IT and you will be ecstatic that you did! read more

Best wedding DJ ever! Dj Troy gave me the best wedding... he made my wish come true of having us dance all night long. I was very impressed how he mixed Afghan, Arabic, Latin, Indian and American music all together. He had all the latest hits that kept everyone on their feet dancing through the night. Most of my family and friends didn't want to end the night because they were having so much fun. He performed beyond my expectation and Im extremely happy of going with him. He was very easy to work with since he was very professional and experienced. I really like how he gave me peace of mind prior to the wedding which made me trust him. He is on the higher end price point but he's totally worth it because music makes or breaks your party and I didn't want to risk that. Thank you Dj Troy for making my wedding one my family could never forget. read more

DJ Troy Michael - Hawaii - Harizo & Ivan's wedding at Moana Surfrider Hotel with Dj Troy. July 8, 2017. - DJs Near Me

See all

The short version: We could not recommend DJ Troy more highly. His services don't come cheap but--and this is coming from a couple on a budget--worth every penny. We cared a lot about music and dancing, and, thanks to DJ Troy, we and our guests had an absolute blast. Planning: Troy is very professional and friendly, and he took the time to understand our vision for our wedding and the type of music we liked. We shared a few Spotify playlists with him to give him a sense of what we liked. We also told him that we liked mashups and dance remixes of songs that aren't inherently the most danceable--we like a lot of rock and oldies, for example. We loved how excited Troy is about DJing--it is obviously his passion and his art--and how committed he is to creating an experience tailored to our tastes. We trusted him with the details, which was the right call, because... Music: The music was awesome! He played songs we'd recommended and others that we hadn't thought of but (a) were right up our alley, and (b) were huge crowd pleasers. In line with our vision, he played new stuff, old stuff, and some great mashups (Whitney Houston vs. Rihanna, for example, and Elvis, The Doors, Johnny Cash mixed with I don't even know what). Like a total pro--he used to DJ clubs in San Francisco--he transitioned between all these genres with such finesse that the energy stayed high the entire evening. We have never seen such a large proportion of wedding guests dance for so long--everyone from the twenty-somethings to a 92-year-old grandma. The dance floor was packed, and guests of all ages and tastes raved about how much they liked the music and DJ Troy. Between the variety of genres, the mash-us, his artistic flare, and his ability to tailor the music to our preferences we can honestly say our music was unlike any other wedding that we've been to (and we've never had so much fun dancing). MC: DJ Troy was our emcee for the night. Again, he was masterful: super suave, kept things moving along, added to the atmosphere without making it about him. He really read the crowd and came up ways to get crowd participation that were fun and memorable and did not feel in the least bit forced, leading to some of our favorite moments of the evening. In sum: Before our wedding, we thought that we wanted a DJ and a live band--being fans of live music--but it wasn't feasible for us to do both. After the wedding, we were glad we didn't go for a live band, because we wouldn't have wanted to sacrifice a minute of DJ Troy playing awesome music and keeping all of our guests on the dance floor and having a great time. He's that good. read more

Last minute lifesaver. Seriously. Signed the contract on a Thursday for a Saturday wedding. Thank you for saving our sanity. I contacted Troy less than a week before my wedding, in a panic because our original plan to use an iPod for our wedding was to go to hell. Complications with compatibility with our venue's sound system, having to assign a person to be in charge, etc. We decided that it would be worth it to hire a professional to take care of this for us. Troy had another wedding booked but was able to hook us up with one of his associate djs, Pat Miller. Pat did an awesome job at our wedding and went out of his way to make sure everything ran smoothly. He even took care of the sound hookups for our slideshow. =) VERY prompt with communication and follow-up, very helpful, very personable and friendly. Thanks Pat. And thanks Troy for saving our butts! Oh, and Troy will NEVER EVER play Kenny G. at your wedding. Unless you specifically ask him to and torture and bleeding ears are your thing. read more

DJ Troy is the best DJ we've ever encountered. He is super professional and knowledgeable from the moment we met. We felt no fear leaving the music up to him. From our ceremony to cocktail hour to reception, everything flowed seamlessly. He was more than adept at handling rogue speeches and guests while letting us stick to our timeline seamlessly. Our friends loved the music so much and we spent all night dancing, even through the rain. He made our wedding so memorable and fun. Thank you sooo much DJ Troy! read more

We had Troy do the dj & emcee services for our wedding on 12-2-2011 at the Hilton Hawaiin Village and he was professional from the beginning to the end. His performance exceeded my expectations and with all the great wedding reviews he received, it's no surprise he was a pro at handling all the unexpected variables that come into play during the wedding day. The song selection and catering to our guests and wedding party was excellent and I couldn't say enough good things about the job Troy did, so I figured the best way to compliment the job he did was to write him the review he deserves. I couldn't have pictured the wedding day going smoother and I couldn't picture using or recommending a better DJ + Emcee! Thank you Troy, Sincerely, Richard & Julia Tsai read more

We booked DJ Troy for our wedding in Oahu in October 2019. When I first reached out to him he was very responsive and we scheduled a phone call that same week. During our first conversation I already knew this was the right person to book for our wedding! He was very familiar with our venue (Kualoa Ranch) and was able to give some great suggestions! He also was familiar with a lot of the other vendors that I had booked so it made me feel comfortable that the day would run smoothly. It's been two weeks since our wedding and my guests keep telling me how much fun they had and how the music was great!!! Troy does an outstanding job getting to know you music style and he can definitely keep a crowd on the dance floor. Our guests were dancing all night, even when it started raining - it was hard to get them to go home! It was also great that he incorporated music that appealed to all ages. If you are looking for a reliable, responsive, super talented DJ, that can make your event fun for everyone - look no further. Troy was worth every penny! We are so happy we booked him for our special day. Thanks Troy! read more

Like any normal couple, we got a few quotes from various djs and from reviews we booked Troy in a heartbeat. He was extremely organized, helpful and professional. While I was hoping he would play a bit more current music, he managed to get the whole dance floor grooving. Mine you I had over 150 guests ranging young to old and yes just about every person was on the floor. He was pricey compared to some of the other djs, but I justified his cost for the awesome reviews that he has not just here on yelp but in the forums as well. His equipment was flawless, I definitely appreciated his lapel mics since it made all the difference in the pictures during the ceremony. As for rest of the evening, it was great! His set-up was swanky, clean and was lit up to match our color scheme. I wasnt expecting lightening of a plumeria on our dance floor so I appreciated that whether that was a normal practice of his or if that was on the house sort of thing. I couldnt believe how much fun everyone was having and perhaps the word fun is understated here. Some people had too much fun that a dance train started, lol. Finally, he did mispronounced one my bridesmaid name. Her name wasnt anything difficult to say but I guess he couldnt help but call her Twinkie when it was Twinkle. Aside from that book Troy, he really does an amazing job and all the reviews you see here states how awesome he is! read more

DJ Troy Michael - Hawaii - DJs Near Me

Troy Michael knows just how to get a party started and keep it going til the lights go out, literally. We had the pleasure of having Troy emcee and DJ our wedding ceremony and reception at Lanikuhonua on 1/20/12. Prior to the wedding, we had emailed Troy a list of song requests and a list of songs and artists not to play (eh-hem, Celine Dion). He played every single song on that list and our family and friends were on that dance floor all night! It was crackin! To my fellow brides out there, you will not be disappointed in choosing Troy for your big day. Troy, thank you so much for the wonderful job you did at our wedding and thank you for the card and bottle of wine :) read more

Troy Michael DJ helped to make our wedding reception a tremendously fun event. When we were shopping around for wedding DJ's we contacted Troy and he promptly responded. When we first talked you could tell Troy was a professional and took his work seriously because he asked us questions to figure out our music tastes, what kind of crowd we would have, and most importantly what we wanted. He also gave us advice and recommendations that would have been helpful even if we elected to go with another DJ. After a few days and discussions we decided to go with Troy. Early in our wedding planning process we planned to give our DJ a list of songs however because Troy made us feel comfortable in our conversations we regrouped and gave him full control of the music selection with only a few recommended songs. Once we got closer to the big day Troy contacted us and ensured everything was in order for his equipment setup, the first dance music and the timeline for the reception. On wedding day everything with Troy went smoothly and there were no setbacks or malfunctions. How did Troy perform? It sort of felt like one of the weddings you see in a movie where everyone who you expect to be on the dance floor is out there initially but because of the awesome music and mixing very quickly the entire dance floor is packed. Troy absolutely nailed it and everyone had a blast thanks to his DJ skills. We received numerous positive comments from friends and family because of how fun the reception was and that is almost entirely due to Troy. You only get married once and we're fortunate we went with Troy. I would recommend him to anyone. Aloha, Cody read more

From the moment we had our chat with DJ Troy Michael, we knew that we found the right DJ for our wedding. He has a really good philosophy on maintaining and directing the flow of a wedding, and this was very evident on our wedding day. He kept things lively by giving tables different challenges to put themselves in contention to go to the buffet for food. That was extremely entertaining. He played music within the desired genre that we had in mind, and I was receiving compliments about the music all night from our guests. Give Troy a call and have a chat, I think you'll find in no time that he's your guy. Thank you so much, Troy Michael! read more

I am a wedding coordinator and I have to say, Troy is one of the BEST. You are truly fortunate if you are able to book him for your special day. I was blessed and was able to have him for my own special day. What people STILL compliment me on, is how much fun the wedding was and how GREAT the music was! I've already known from past experiences with working with him, but seeing it in action is amazing. He truly does know how to read a crowd and keep everyone dancing. Piece of advice: do let him know your general likes/dislikes but leave the dancing portion up to him. He really does know what's best!!! read more

Troy was recommended by my wedding venue (Mid Pacific Country Club) and I am so happy that I chose to use him! I phone "interviewed" two other DJs along with Troy, and Troy really stood out to me. He was a pleasure to work with over the phone and email. We had several lengthy phone conversations going over all the details of the wedding, which was really helpful and stress-relieving. I genuinely felt like Troy cared about me and my wedding and wanted to make it perfect. Troy was truly one of the most important parts of my wedding. He kept everything running smoothly and was very laid back (unlike some obnoxious DJs that I have experienced at other weddings). He also got a huge crowd dancing all night, which I was totally not expecting! I had so much fun with my family and friends on the dance floor. It was by far my favorite part of the wedding. Troy's prices are very reasonable for the service that he provides you with. You are not just getting someone to play music for you; it is your whole wedding atmosphere. Thanks, Troy, for everything! read more

Troy Michael was the best DJ I've ever seen at a wedding. And I am not just saying that because it was MY wedding! He was professional from the very start of my wedding planning and would even help out with things like venue suggestions, etc. He is perfect for destination brides. I did not have to lift a finger when we hired him. He took care of everything just as he said he would. All my husband and I did was pick out our play list and he took care of the rest. Lights, sound, emcee, everything! He was also extremely affordable. Hurry up and book him before he doesn't have the date open for your big day! read more

My husband + I recently had our destination wedding at the Four Seasons in Ko Olina. It can be so nerve wrecking planning a destination wedding as you don't get to do face to face meetings. However, Troy was phenomenal, we spoke over the phone and eighth away I know I was making the right decision. He took care of every detail music wise and made sure everything ran smoothly for us! I couldn't of asked for a better DJ for our wedding day!! read more

If you're looking for a wedding DJ I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Troy Michael! Troy is not only very professional and attentive but he made a TERRIFIC suggestion for our wedding - which included 20+ children in attendance. We replaced the traditional garter toss with a teddy bear toss which allowed the kids to be included in an event that's otherwise reserved and catered to the adults. Additionally, Troy dealt primarily with my wife who requested that certain songs be played during our reception but to be fair, Troy reached out to me (groom) not only to touch bases but also to ensure that I was ok with the suggestions and allowed for my input. I found this to be very refreshing as most of our vendors catered towards my wife - rightfully so. Technology - During the planning phase of our wedding Troy provided us with an secured website in which we could select/submit specific songs that we wanted played at our reception. This was a pleasant surprise and made the process very convenient for us. Related Products - Star Shotz Photo Booth read more

If you're not interested in reading the rest of my review, just read this: DJ Troy is worth every penny. I hadn't looked at other DJs/emcees before talking with him on the phone, and instantly knew we were going to book him before he even finished talking about what type of DJ/emcee he is. I hadn't found a DJ/emcee for our destination wedding which was about 4-5 weeks away (I've had about a year to get things settled and somehow managed to save finding vendors one month out). Friends of mine who had their wedding on Oahu highly recommended him. We are so very happy that they did! We were lucky that he was available for the date of our wedding. Setting up communication with him was so easy using his site which showed his call availability based off your time zone. This made it super easy to get in touch since we live in Denver. My husband and I felt like Troy was the perfect fit for us right away. After we spoke on the phone and he let us know a little about his style and services, we really felt like there was no need to look any further and asked for a contract ASAP. He is worth every penny. As an emcee he easily helped to keep the wedding program running smooth and quick. As a DJ, he delivered phenomenally! Troy and I had talked about what kind of music my husband and I wanted, and everything that he played for our reception was so spot on. All of our guests raveedddd about his music selection. While our guests didn't spend much time dancing on the actual dance floor, they were dancing everywhere else in the venue pretty much the entire time. We really wanted someone that has the ability to read the room/vibe, not be forceful or obnoxious, and play great music-Troy did all of that more. He offered great suggestions to fit what we needed to in a small amount of time. It was a total plus that he has worked many other weddings with the photographer that we chose, so coordination and communication between them was a breeze. Just book with him! read more

Troy Michael fantastic job at our wedding. He was very accommodating with us and our very specific Disney playlist, dinner and dance needs. We thought the balance and diversity in genres was perfect - there truly was something for everybody which was important to us since we didn't want to alienate any potential dancers. My dad's friend specifically mentioned the fact that he was so grateful that the music wasn't blasting in his ears throughout dinner. My parents and their friends have been to so many east coast weddings where they can barely talk to the person next to them because the music is too loud, believe it or not. I guess it's a New Jersey and New York thing - not surprising. When the dancing got serious, Troy brought out foam glow sticks! It was so unexpected but added so much and we have great memories and photos. As weird as it is, I think it made people feel more comfortable dancing too. He had our names in lights on the tent ceiling which was a nice, unexpected treat. The uplighting was wonderful. The lights really leant themselves to the perfect, magical glow I was hoping for. We are still getting rave reviews from our guests. Troy made the night special and stress-free for us. read more
