Mike was great! Perfect for my wedding. He did the ceremony as well as the reception. The music was great. His equipment was great, the sound was amazing and the equipment wasn't an eye sore. He was MC as well which was perfect. I was able to speak with him on the phone multiple times, also over text and email. My family and friends mentioned the music was phenomenal and asked if it was my playlist (I told Mike he can have a free for all just no Taylor Swift). If you need any type of DJ service go with Mike. read more

I worked with Mike for my wedding, and he was truly amazing. He arrived at the venue before I did and brought a calm, relaxed energy that immediately put me at ease. At the same time, he was very attentive and made sure everything was clear so we were all on the same page. I really appreciated his stress-free attitude and professionalism. Mike is a very kind person, and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone. read more

We hired Mike for my young brother's wedding. He saved the day as my other DJ cancelled on me 3 weeks before the wedding. Mike was gracious, kind, professional, and affordable. He calmed me and told me he would take care of the music and it'd all be well. I will be honest, I was nervous as the music my brother likes isn't in the genre I really knew much of but Mike assured me he'd go over it all with them. Well, it turned out perfectly! Additionally, it's important to note that Mike wasn't cheesy like some wedding DJs get. He was fun, and spoke at appropriate times, kept the crowd entertained and dancing. I couldn't have been more thrilled. He really saved the day and made the day! Do NOT hesitate in choosing Mike. You'll be impressed and your expectations will be exceeded! read more

Mike was so awesome for my wedding! He truly over delivered and surpassed my expectations, he got people dancing that I wouldn't think would. He also was just amazing at creating the flow of the day and helping us along the way with the event. I couldn't recommend him more!! read more

We hired Mike to DJ our 20th/31st anniversary, and HE WAS A HIT! Mike was super easy to work with, understood what we were going for (80s, more synth-pop), and put together a playlist with our guidance that had folks out dancing up to last call! He provided awesome uplighting and projector for our photo montage. Everything was spot-on - sound quality, microphones, music selection, and the lighting. On top of it all, he's just a SUPER NICE GUY and made it easy and fun. I can't recommend him any more highly! read more

My partner and I got married 2/23/24 at a venue in Fallbrook! We all had a wonderful time and had such great comments about DJ Mike from our guests. Mike is super fun, likeable and a great joy to work with. They loved all the transitions/commentaries during the wedding and my friends said, Dj Mike was smooth and funny~ haha! Working with Mike was easy, he was very easy to communicate with throughout the process, very responsive, and knows exactly what to do. He doesnt charge you up the wazoo for small things, everything felt so reasonable and he was honestly the best vendor to work with. I had multiple calls with other DJs and Mike was no frills just easy to talk to and proactive about the whole process. My husband loves him! Thanks for helping us ring in our new beginning on our wedding day, we appreciate all you do Mike! :) Thank you so so much. read more

We planned a big party of about 115 people that included guests of all ages. With the plans we made, we knew it would be good. It was, but Mike made it epic! We gave him a timeline for what we wanted to happen and when. He kept everything on schedule and adjusted to last minute changes. We couldn't have asked for more! Book Mike. You'll be glad you did. read more

Oh my gosh, 5 stars are not nearly enough for Mike!!! He was absolutely amazing!!! Friendly and professional from the start, very organized and so fun!!! He made our simple reception into a party to never forget which is exactly what we wanted. All the songs I wanted were played and everyone had a blast. He is top notch and we are so grateful he was able to accommodate our last minute hire. We thought we could just play music and Mike brought everything to a whole new level. Fantastic 1000% recommend hiring him for the big event. Thank you soooo much!! Melissa & Jayson 4/5/24 read more

Mike was very nice and understanding! He was very communicative leading up to the wedding and was extremely accommodating to any requests we had. He gave us a sense of assurance and confidence before the wedding and more than delivered on the day! The dance music was amazing and nailed our taste with a good balance. He was an integral part by making sure the whole day moved forward and transitioned seamlessly! (7/2/2023 wedding) read more

We had the pleasure of working with Mike to DJ our wedding on 9/2 and he exceeded expectations! Mike went out of his way to not only help customize our playlist (despite us having some very unique and difficult to find songs), and he helped keep the entire event on point throughout. We literally had close to a dozen compliments from attendees saying how impressed they were with the music and entertainment. What's better was that we didn't have to worry about anything except having fun. We strongly recommend Mike Farmer Entertainment for your wedding, event, or party read more

We selected DJ Mike for our wedding on 7/16/22. He was absolutely amazing. From the start, Mike was responsive, professional and kind. He did everything we asked of him and did it well.

Mike Farmer Entertainment - Our first dance - DJs Near Me - San Diego, California

My husband and I are not "dancers". But when planning our wedding, we both agreed that having a great DJ was important. We had our wedding at Grand Tradition Estate in Fallbrook and were thankful they provided us with a list of preferred vendors. Mike Farmer was quick to respond, courteous and professional. To get a good feel of our style, Mike asked us to compile a list of songs we DEFINITELY wanted him to play, along with a list of songs we did NOT want played. A simple task, but also genius. Because at our reception, we really felt he understood our likes and dislikes by the music he selected. Our reception was split between friends in their early 30s and those in their 60s. We were concerned that the generation gap would cause issues on the dance floor. But Mike did an excellent job selecting music everyone could dance to. He peppered in some slow songs (so people could catch their breath) and sped up to some fast songs to call everyone to the dancefloor! It was a great reception, and we are so glad we chose Mike as our entertainer! read more

Mike provided us not only great music but helped us with his extended wedding knowledge. He is professional and we could not have had a better DJ. Thank you again Mike You made a wonderful wedding for us. read more

Mike was simply amazing! Like yourself, I was struggling to find the perfect DJ for my wedding.... Let me tell you, all these reviews are true. Mike is a true wedding professional, don't settle for anything less. Mike played every song I asked for, set the mood and tone that expected and kept the party going (even when we requested he keep playing for an extra 30 min) Mike was a pleasure, from day one he was prompt with any questions I had and was a great person to get advice from based on his years of experience. I felt that Mike enjoyed himself, that he was part of the wedding... Not a hired vendor. I couldn't be more happier that I chose Mike as our DJ. It's been two weeks and every time I see a guest from the wedding I hear about how awesome our DJ was. Thank you Mike for being apart of our special day.... You are the real deal :) Heidi and Nate Manteufel P.S He had no hesitation in pronouncing any names... Hence our not so common one :) read more

Mike Farmer Entertainment - Getting our country on! - DJs Near Me - San Diego, California

See all

Mike Farmer is clearly a professional who knows what he's doing and is not a noob at the DJ game. When we starting planning our wedding, we asked a buddy who has been to many weddings about what makes a reception great. He said that it's really up to the DJ to set the mood, fill the dance floor, and keep the party on track. So, my husband and I set out to find the right person for the job. We met Mike and loved his personality. He helped us figure out what songs we needed for which parts of the night and did a spectacular job running the show during our wedding reception. He played all the right songs at the right times, and did a killer job at segueing each part of the party into the next. And he gave us one of our favorite memories from the whole night - the "Second-First-Dance." Book Mike and ask him about it, you won't be sorry. read more

Without repeating EVERYTHING that has been said before in all of Mike's other reviews, I'll just say that Mike was very professional, courteous and on point with the flow of the music throughout the night. He was an absolute pleasure to work with. He played an active role in planning the timeline and flow of the evening and provided excellent recommendations for songs from the ceremony to the end of the evening. He was way more than some guy who showed up with a bunch of music on a laptop! Thank you Mike for helping make our special day as great as it was! Curt and Cassi read more

I've experienced three weddings that Mike has done... he is WONDERFUL!! He handles everything from pre-ceremony seating music, to ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, dancing, etc. He's good at helping arrange individualized needs and doesn't bat an eye when you have a unique request (say, wanting your exit music to be Back in Black) . Most awesome of all is that Mike really gets everyone on the dance floor, even that one person who never dances. I would recommend Mike to anyone who wants a professional, experienced, fun, down-to-earth guy to rock their wedding. read more

Mike provided sound services for our wedding ceremony and DJ services for our cocktail hour and wedding reception and did an amazing job! We had a friend play acoustic guitar for our ceremony and Mike worked with him as well as our officiant to get the sound perfect for our ceremony. The sound switched over to Mike at the end of the ceremony for our processional and everything went smoothly. For the cocktail hour I had given him a very long list of our favorite songs and I was happy to hear them throughout it and during dinner as well. During the reception he did an excellent job of playing great dance music and especially during the final hour of our wedding the dance floor was packed and the energy was at an all time high. Just before our wedding we met with Mike to go over last minute details and he got it all right. He was always incredibly responsive to email and phone calls- something I can't say about all our vendors. You can definitely count on Mike to provide you with reliable, amazing service! read more

We had Mike MC and DJ our wedding reception and ceremony. He is a class act all the way and we were very pleased with his work on our special day. At our first meeting with him, he was very attentive and listened to what we wanted. My fiancée (now my wife) and I had a "nothing cheesy" requirement for the music and MCing for our wedding and Mike delivered! Mike's setup at the ceremony site was unobtrusive and spot on. The reception was no different, he played all of the songs we submitted to him and was an excellent MC for us. He is a consummate professional all the way. Highly recommended! read more

I attended a wedding last year where Mike was the DJ, and it was the most fun I'd ever had at a reception. As soon as the dance floor was open, Mike had it packed -- and it stayed packed all night. The couple even extended their reception because everyone was having such a great time! When we got engaged, Mike was the first vendor we called, and we couldn't be happier about him as our DJ. Before the wedding, he met with us and helped us put together a timeline for the evening. I never once worried about the timing of the reception.... Mike was on it and kept everything flowing perfectly. We had a lot of specific requests for the day, and Mike managed to accommodate all of them and filled in the gaps beautifully. Everyone from the twenty-somethings to my grandparents got out on the dance floor. Several people have told us that it was the best wedding they've ever been to, and I know that's largely due to the entertainment that Mike provided. Mike also did a beautiful job with our lighting. We had colored uplights and a gobo light, and they really made the room look great. The price for the lights was really reasonable, but more importantly, it was nice to not have to hire yet another vendor to do the job! Our only regret is that we didn't ask Mike to do our ceremony music as well. I would highly highly recommend Mike to any bride who wants a stress-free vendor and an awesome reception! read more

Mike recently was the DJ for our wedding reception on 4/22/17, and we can't say enough about the amazing job he did for our day. Booking mike was easy, he was quick to respond, patient to answer any questions or concerns that we had. Even though he is based in San Diego county, he agreed to travel up to the city of Orange for our reception. He was also able to help my wife with a custom mix for the father daughter dance which became the hit of the night. Mike really kept the party going which is song choices, all of our guests had such a great time and had tons of nice things to say about the DJ. We had a really tough time trying to pick a final song of the night, mike told us not to worry, and i'm glad we trusted him. We ended the night by slow dancing to our first dance song while our family and friends circled around us hand in hand. Was a really nice way to end a magical night. If you are looking for a DJ for your wedding reception, really consider Mike, he was more than just a DJ. He will help any way that he can in order for your day to go as smoothly as possible. I was waiting all night for something to go wrong..... but nothing ever did. I know the night wouldn't have gone as smoothly as it did if Mike didn't help us. Thank you again Mike for everything!!!!!! Robert & Jackie read more

When I asked my 92 year-old grandmother about her favorite moments of our recent wedding, she replied "the food and that DJ!" The DJ, of course, was Mike Farmer. From the moment that we first met Mike, we were confident that he was going to provide a wonderful wedding experience for our guests. Mike has been in the business for a long time and his professionalism was obvious to us throughout the process. Mike played a variety of genres for us throughout the event (classical during cocktails, jazz/oldies during dinner and pop/hip-hop/contemporary during the main dancing). He provided us with a "suggestions" playlist for all kinds of different musical varieties. After we sent him our list of preferred songs, he was very attentive to making sure that they were all played. Regarding communication, Mike was always responsive and I emailed him frequently. About a day before the wedding, he sent us a "good luck" email and reminded us that he'd be happy to make any last minute changes to the playlist. All that being said, I'd have to agree with my grandmother. Mike was one of the best and most integral parts of wedding not only for his playlist selections but for setting a fun and relaxed tone for our guests. Mike, thank you so much for everything!!! read more

My son and his new bride hired Mike Farmer for their August 25, 2013 wedding. I really liked him. He has a refined announcing voice, but doesn't overpower the event with anything but the essentials, pretty much blending into the environment, but keeping things moving like a pro. He kind of quietly and politely keeps the schedule going with instructions to the guests, appropriate dance music when needed, and really has a good feel for the emotion of the event and "produces it" from the wings. Very smooth, very professional. When the schedule needed to adjust for timing, he flowed with it, no problem. Very humble and adaptable. He was very helpful in providing sound and hook-ups for a video presentation on equipment I personally brought, and helped make the event flow smoothly. When dinner was over and it was dance time, he kept EVERYONE on the floor dancing for hours with a continuous flow of good dance music to our taste. Can;t say enough good about Mike Farmer. read more

Mike provided all the music for our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. He was professional and responsive from the start which gave us confidence he would be a great person to work with during the process. He had great communication and he was quick to answer any questions we had at any time. He provided a sample request list that helped us sort out the music selection for every stage of our wedding day. He has been in the business for a long time so he knows what he's doing, no surprises. He helped the whole day flow and he kept everyone on the dance floor until the last song. So many of our guests mentioned how much fun they had at the wedding and I know Mike had a lot to do with it! We are so happy we went with him for our wedding and we would recommend him to any future bride & grooms looking for a reliable guy who is going to keep the party going all night long! Thanks Mike! read more

Mike far exceeded our expectations for our wedding day. He was professional, easy to get along with and very helpful with our music needs. Mike is especially good at keeping the party going and making sure that everyone is having a good time. The dance floor was never empty and at the end of the night there were people booing that the night was over. He is definitely a crowd pleaser and threw in something for every ones liking. Our guests said nothing but compliments about him. We highly recommend Mike Farmer for weddings and special occasions! read more

Mike Farmer is the best DJ in San Diego. I met him in 2009 when he DJ'd a good friend's wedding- my family was so impressed with him that we asked him to DJ my sister's wedding in 2011, my cousin's wedding in 2013, and finally my wedding in 2019. We submitted a very eclectic mix of music as we had a pretty diverse crowd, and DJ Mike handled it SO WELL. We had an awesome mix of oldies, rock, top 40, and classic wedding jams. Mike also acted as the MC, announcing the best man/maid of honor speeches, announcing the commencement of dinner, etc. Do yourself a favor and book this man for your event. You will not regret it. Feel free to respond to this post if you have any specific questions. read more

We choose Mike to DJ for our Wedding and he did an Amazing job!! Even with our crazy music choices, he had it all. It was a great mix of the music types we requested. He absolutely knew how to keep the crowd entertained and involved. We got soooo many compliments on his service. Many guests and ourselves will be using him for future events. Thanks Mike for helping to make our Wedding Day Perfect!! read more

I have been in the wedding industry as a professional photographer for 17 years. When it came time for me to get married, picking the right vendors was super important. From attending over 500 weddings, I knew that the DJ will make or break your wedding reception. The DJ does so much more than play music, he or she needs to know how to read the crowd and adapt to any genre of music. Well Mike is the Man. I have heard hundreds of DJ's and knew that I would not have to worry if he was in charge. Mike totally rocked our party and I have been getting non stop complements on how fun our wedding was. I also had him bring up lights which looked amazing. I certainly would recommend him to a friend. read more

Where to begin with Dj Mike!? What an incredible guy. We first met in person to discuss details and work out logistics together for my wedding day. We laughed and talked about our past weddings dance floor experiences and had a great time planning things out. He's extremely likable, easy to get in touch with -- fast responses and direct communication with him, very easy to work with and helpful with suggestions and tips. He was such a pleasure to work with for our wedding! He knows exactly how to tactfully get the crowd excited AND he got everyone into their seats on time (in 15 minutes on a wedding day?! A MIRACLE!). He was open to and implemented all my wishes (a disco ball, all the songs we wanted and requested, all the crazy name pronunciations for our bridal party, etc.). I chose to do the music playlists very selectively, and he honored every single one of my requests! We have been referring him to all of our family who asked us who he was! Everyone loved him! He really truly made our day such a memorable one, and I would work with him for every possibility in the future! Wonderful guy, WONDERFUL DJ! read more

Mike was referred to us by good friends of ours for our wedding at Marina Village. He was exactly what we were looking for. We didn't spend a lot of time thinking about a song selection, but Mike had great suggestions to fit our taste. Many of our guests commented on how much they liked the music. He also edited our first dance and father-daughter dance songs because they were longer than what we wanted. He is very professional, but easy going and down to earth. Mike helped make our wedding day go by seamlessly and we would highly recommend him! read more

Mike Farmer is a consummate professional. Upon recommendation from the previous year's auction chair, I hired Mike Farmer to DJ our school's annual fundraiser that was themed "One Hot Havana Nite". Just as he did the previous year, Mike brought his A-game and so much more. The music was on point and the lighting and uplighting set the mood for the entire evening. Mike even had a siren and lights going with Mission Impossible themed music when we auctioned off a SWAT team experience. His extensive selection of music, including a killer selection of Cuban/Latin music, inspired everyone to spend lots of money for charity, dance the night away and enjoy a stellar evening. If you want to have a great party that your guests will be talking about long after it's over, be sure to hire Mike Farmer. I recommend him without hesitation. read more

My husband and I interviewed about 5 DJ's and Mike Farmer is in a class of his own. Mike was exactly what we were looking for, he is professional, fun, presentable, and transitions flawlessly from speeches, to first dances, to cake cutting, to the big party. He was able to get all of our guests up out of their seat and dancing! We used Mike to DJ and MC, and he provided the up-lighting and Gobo light. The lighting was the perfect touch to set the mood for reception, we highly recommend it. Mike Farmer Entertainment was an important aspect of our wedding that made it the day of our dreams. I would recommend him to everyone. We look forward to seeing him work our friend's weddings! read more

Mike was our DJ and MC for our wedding a couple weeks ago. He was hands down the best decision for a vendor we made. He was extremely helpful with song choices, and played music we loved! He was always professional yet laid back and fun as well, the perfect mix. He even checked with us about certain cheesy songs that got requested to make sure it was ok to play. Everyone had an amazing time thanks to him! read more

Mike was awesome! He DJ'ed our wedding in Arbor Terrace at Grand Tradition. Our event was delayed by the Pala fire and Mike was a total pro keeping the guests entertained and happy. Then once the reception started he kept everything moving smoothly and did a great job keeping everyone on the dance floor with his song pacing. Booking and working with him was a breeze. He was very prompt and courteous. My wife and I did a choreographed dance and Mike was gracious enough to put together a mix that we could practice to. We highly recommend Mike for any DJ need! read more

To echo some other reviews, friends at our wedding liked Mike so much that they will be using Mike this summer when they wed.

Mike has now dj'd two of our family wedding receptions and he was incredible at both. We had very different crowds with different music tastes and he was able to keep everyone on the dance floor. He helps manage the flow of the reception and really stays involved to make sure everything runs smoothly. read more

I just hired Mike Farmer for our wedding this past weekend -- Mike is professional, surprised me with his emcee skills, and reliable. All exceptional qualities when hiring a DJ for your most important day of your life. Mike did our ceremony and reception - we provided him with minimal instructions on songs to play, basic directions on announcements, and he took the ball and ran with it the entire evening. It was a blast working with Mike and I would recommend him to any one who is planning an event or special occasion. read more
