My review may blend in with the hundreds of other 5 star reviews for Mike but I really hope you if you are wondering if you found the right DJ that you get the opportunity to read our review. We just had our wedding 5/26/19, we were blessed with such a perfect day start to finish with Mike. From day 1 of signing the paper work with Mike to over a year & a half later, Mike was there if we needed anything at all. He gave so much wedding advice unrelated to solely DJ material. He gave us so many great ideas and tips that we used on the big day. Mike is always readily available to talk, you can call you text his cell anytime of any day he always gets right back, that is if he doesn't happen to answer after a couple rings which he always does! I could go on and on about the quality of service he provides, he never has a bad day, at least you would never know it. Mike has the most important job of the day. Remember that when you are searching for your DJ, he keeps the guests entertained and happy, he keeps the songs flowing and transitions them so perfectly into the next, he has the most amazing speaking voice and gets the crowed pumped up and knows just how and when to make all the perfect introductions. Mike made everything so seamless, he would come up to Dave & I prior to the formalities & give us a quick update on the timeline, and always finished everything with "I've already let the Manny know" (Our day of coordinator) I had not one single worry...he ran my day so smoothly along with my day of planner. He is so much more than a DJ. I remember being in the bridal suite after the ceremony before my guests came back down from cocktail hour to see my beautiful reception space done up.. I found out there was an issue with my back drop (completely nothing to do with Mike) He must have been informed through conversation with my day of coordinator, Mike immediately rectified the situation which I had no idea what going on out there outside my bridal suite...When Dave my husband came in to tell me the news about the backdrop Mike was right there and said not to worry, he added his own up lighting to light up my backdrop and probably made it more beautiful then it even would have been had it worked out the other way. Let me tell you one last thing, if not the MOST impressive way that Mike saved our day...Dave & I can't stop talking about it, this really proves you need someone with years of experience to have handled what he did for us. We took forever to pick a first dance song, in fact we chose is less than 24 hours before the wedding, Mike didn't flinch. I texted Mike telling him the song, fast forward to the next day, minutes before we were to walk out to do introductions. Mike was with us in the hallway to firm up last second details about timing when we were walking out, we decided we wanted to practice our first dance in the hallway one last time before going out (thank god). Mike played the song that I told him we were dancing to, 20 seconds in I realized something was wrong, our timing was off, Dave & I started to panic, my whole dance was going to be ruined. I quickly pulled up the version we had been practicing to off YouTube, Mike immediately realized the version online was cut down and edited, it was not the full song nor did it even start at the beginning. I had no idea! With my guests waiting, Mike completely kept me calm, he played both versions several times and listened so closely even though it was so had to hear them with everyone cheering in the other room. I was in such a panic there was no way I would have been able to figure out where the problem was, especially under such pressure. He immediately listened for clues in the song (which had most no lyrics at the beginning, making it more difficult for him.) Mike found out where the edits where made and where they now needed to be made to his original version. He ran back to his laptop and in less than 5 min Mike made on the spot edits/cuts on his own software and played my exact song the way we knew it and practiced it to. Dave & I who had listened to that song 5 million times by now could not even handle how to fix the issue let alone under the pressure, but Mike so calmly listened and fixed it in 5 minutes. There is NO way another DJ could have done that without his level of experience. We are forever grateful to him and the wedding experience he provided us from day one until I do day!!!! I hope to use his services again in the winter for my 30th birthday. We love you Mike & we will always recommend and support you! THANK YOU!! Love Lindsey & Dave Malizia read more

I cannot say enough GREAT things about Mike & Music Man Entertainment! From the minute we reached out to see if he was available to DJ our wedding, he was ready to rock! Our first phone call made us so happy and excited. Mike is the most enthusiastic guy, is there for you for whatever you need or any questions you have through out the entire planning process! He is so easy to work with and really wants to ensure your day is exactly what you imagined. Before the wedding we had our final phone call to go over the run down of all music choices and timeline. Mike had it all laid out for us on a document and made it super easy to fill in. This also helped us not to forget anything! The wedding day was truly AMAZING! Mike nailed the ceremony music, cocktail hour music, and of course the entire reception! I even wanted two songs for certain things and Mike made sure he timed them PERFECTLY. He got the crowd going during our introductions and had everyone pumped up the whole time. He made sure he announced anything we needed, and any details the guests needed to know. Our guests seriously were on the dance floor ALL night! It was packed! Everyone kept coming up to us saying this was the best wedding, the music never stopped and every song was the best to dance to. We are ECSTATIC that we chose Mike as our DJ. Music is one of the most important parts of a wedding and he absolutely KILLED IT!!! My sister is getting married next week and she is also using Music Man Entertainment, so we are PUMPED to dance all night again. I HIGHLY recommended him! We will be using him for any future events we have coming up! We also had the mirror photo booth which was a big hit with all the guests! People would not stop saying how cool it was! It takes 3 photos, provides so many props, and at the end of the night they put together a whole photo album of all the pictures taken for us! It was amazing! They also provided us with a personalized logo which was so cool, all the guests loved! And a slideshow of our pictures that was playing during dinner and speeches which was such a nice touch!!! If you are looking for a high energy, easy to work with, fun DJ that plays the BEST music and gets the crowd going, Music Man Entertainment is for you!!!!!! read more

If we had to review Mike Garrasi (Music Man Entertainment and who DJed our April wedding) in two words those two words would be "truly spectacular"! Mike, without question, has a natural talent when it comes to DJing. And, that natural talent comes beaming through in all aspects when working with Mike. When you have Mike as your DJ, you just know you have Mike in your corner and things are going to go as you hoped and as you planned because he just gets it and he's on it! Mike makes sure there is excellent communication before and during the wedding. Mike makes sure he is always there to answer any questions and address any pre-wedding concerns such as music and timing with bridal processional and recessional, etc. This not only keeps your mind at ease, but it definitely keeps things running smoothly on your big day. Not-to-mention, his confidence, positive attitude and upbeat personality is such a pleasure to be around. We were so incredibly happy with Mike and so were our guests! He kept everyone on the dance floor until the very end! The DJ is SUCH an important part of a wedding (or any big celebration) and I felt like Mike was our knight in shining armor when it came to keeping our guests happy and dancing. It was sheer luck that we ended up with Mike as our DJ and I would never use or recommend anyone but Mike Garrasi moving forward. On a side note, we decided to include the Photo Booth/Mirror, which was another excellent choice!! Mike and his crew (who were also wonderful!) literally handed us a photo album at the end of the night that genuinely captured so much fun and so many of our guests! Really encourage your guests to use it and have fun with it!! Get yourselves in there, too! I cannot tell you how many times we've looked through that photo album!! It is a delightful keepsake to have and behold. read more

Mike is amazing! He is professional in all aspects and extremely relatable. From the first moment I spoke on the phone with him I knew I wanted to hire him for our wedding. He took his time to get to know us, feel out our style as far as wedding and musical taste, and answered all questions (no matter how many times I asked). The weeks leading up to the wedding he ensured we understood how the flow of the wedding would go and that we had all music requests that we wanted. We had a pretty unusual request for seating music, but he totally came through we were so happy with the outcome! He also took the time to combine songs for the mother/son dance. He ensures he pronounces names of the bridal party correctly too. My maid of honor has a terribly hard last name to pronounce & she was so impressed he pronounced it correctly first time. Mike also took the time to check in with us throughout the wedding! He wanted to make sure we were feeling the music and that our night was going well. That was the icing on top of the cake for us. We also booked the photo booth and I cannot rave enough about that as well. The backdrop was gorgeous (lots of options to select), the props were also extremely fun, and the attendant was top notch. He didn't just ensure that the booth was running smoothly. He was interactive with ALL guests. He ensured that guests knew where to look for a great photo, how much time they had between poses, prop swap outs, and instructed how to sign a special message on the photos. I honestly can't say enough about Mike and his photo booth attendant. Seriously, don't waste any more time and book these guys. Reach out to Mike first and you won't have to worry about your DJ services or photo booth. read more

Mike was our DJ and photobooth vendor for our July 2021 wedding. To say he was incredible to work with was an understatement. We had to move our date because of COVID and Mike was extremely flexible, understanding, and easy to work with. Leading up to our wedding, Mike made sure to take two hours to have a consultation with us to make sure everything was perfect, down to the phonetic spelling of names and special requests. One of which was to play my late grandmothers favorite song and give her a shout out. It was a great way to do something happy to remember her life and legacy at our wedding. On the wedding day Mike arrived super early to set up- all of the music was FANTASTIC for the ceremony. After we mingled in cocktail hour Mike lined us up and dealt with our crazy family and friends like a pro! The flow of the intros, first dance, parent dances, speeches, into dinner and cake cutting was seamless. I didn't ever have to ask Mike to do anything. In fact he found us a couple times to remind us of important things coming next. Our amazing day wouldn't have been complete without him. The magic mirror photobooth was a huge hit! I love our photo book and guests loved the multiple print and texting option it had. The photobooth attendant was kind, patient, and was always there to guide people through signing pictures or retaking them if they didn't like how it turned out. Music Man Entertainment would get 10 stars from my husband and I if that was an option. Thank you Mike for all of your attention to detail, and keeping our guests dancing through the night! read more

We were so lucky to have Mike as our DJ at our wedding. He was so helpful to us all the days leading up to our wedding and on our wedding day. He helped to make sure everything went smoothly. We needed music at two locations (on top of a mountain and down in the lodge) and Mike was more than willing to set up at both locations. He had people on the dance floor before anybody even ate food!!! He went with the flow when we were running late and continued to play music for an extra half hour when we asked to extend, without a problem. He checked in occasionally throughout the night to make sure we had everything we needed and to see if he needed to be doing something. Our guests could have easily partied through the night and I am confidant Mike would have stayed as well. His photo booth mirror is so awesome and it pulled people in the entire night because of how fun and interactive it was. We are so grateful to have an awesome album from the photo booth and access to all of the photos as well. The gentlemen (I forget their names) from the mirror photo booth were also great to meet, interact and work with. They were super friendly and helpful to our guests. They went above and beyond to make sure the guests felt great. He provided uplighting for us too which was a great add-on! I couldn't imagine having anybody else as our DJ. Mike truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day everything we dreamed of. We can't thank you enough Mike and team!!! Will recommend you a 100 times over! read more

We cannot rave about Mike and his team enough! From the very start, we loved every ounce of his service. Mike provides a very concise planning form that we were actually able to use as a guideline for our entire wedding planning process which may have been the greatest perk. He was very responsive to our ideas and music suggestions and helped us to coordinate these suggestions in a way to make our day PERFECT. The ease and helpfulness of the planning process alone were enough to give Mike 5 stars, but the service provided the day of really pushed it to the top. Mike was so attentive to us the entire night, checking in occasionally to make sure that the music fit our expectations and asking if we had any requests. He also orchestrated the movement of events seamlessly, keeping us updated along the way. He was a top-notch MC, helping to keep our guests engaged without being overbearing. We just loved his attitude and excitement and cannot rave about it enough. And to tie it all together, his music selection was out of this world. He kept our guests on the dance floor all night, with the venue practically having to pull us out of there at the end of the night. Our guests have been raving about the dance floor ever since. I wish I had some criticism, but I we really can't say anything bad about his service. Everything was PERFECT from start to finish. We highly recommend taking advantage of the planning material he provides, it really helps to bring everything together. read more

If anyone is contemplating hiring a DJ for their upcoming wedding or any other celebratory event.......MIKE GARRASI (MUSIC MAN ENTERTAINMENT) is your guy. You need look no further because Mike is "simply the best". Mike DJ'd our wedding 2 months ago, and he graded out with an A++++. Everthing not only went as it was planned....it went BETTER than planned. From our first meeting with Mike until the very end of the wedding reception, he literally took care of everything in professional detail. And I have to say, we had some unusual and unique requests for the music, the timing of when the music was to be played, some special announcements, and some unusual musical surprises for our guests. Mike hit a HOMERUN with everything we asked for. He truly goes above and beyond what you expect and ask for. I can't tell you how many people commented to my wife and I after the wedding....."Best wedding I've ever been to, and the music and special presentations by the DJ....WOW". Also, I would highly suggest to use the photo booth that Mike can provide at a very reasonable cost. It was a BIG HIT with everyone in attendance from the start of the reception right up till the very end. I simply can't say enough about our complete satisfaction with MUSIC MAN ENTERTAINMENT. Thank you Mike for making our wedding day so very entertaining and fun for everyone there. Larry and Kathy Cusma. read more

Mike was an absolutely AMAZING DJ for my wedding and my husband and I cannot recommend him enough!!! From the moment we had our initial inquiry call with Mike we knew we had to book him. I think within the first 5 minutes of the call I was nudging my now husband that we had to book him! The energy that he had that we could feel was incredible and that continued throughout our planning. We booked Mike well over a year in advance of our wedding but he was on top of everything! Leading up to the wedding we were in communication about specific songs and ideas for the reception and it was truly wonderful! Mike not only was our DJ but he also specifically mixed the father/daughter dance song as I wanted it to skip from one section to the other and let me tell you, he sent me the mix and I made the mistake of listening to it before work, I was in tears (in a good way!) because it was exactly what I was envisioning for my dance with my father. The night of the wedding he brought such amazing energy, played the songs we wanted and kept the vibe that we had asked for the entire time. However it didn't stop there, Mike also provided us with a photo booth for the evening and it was such a hit! People loved it and it was such a good way to capture the joy and energy that was happening all night. If you are looking for a DJ seriously book Mike before it's too late, you will not regret it!!! read more

It has been almost two months since our wedding and we STILL have guests contacting us and talking about how rockin' our dance floor was. Dancing with our guests of ALL AGES all night was hands down the best part of our wedding. MUSIC MAN ENTERTAINMENT IS YOUR ONLY CHOICE! We feel blessed beyond measure to have hired a DJ that was SO dedicated to our big day that by the end of the process, he felt more like a friend than a vendor to us. Mike listened to every question, every silly song request, and every outrageous plan we had and met each idea with enthusiasm, wisdom, and genuine excitement. When we felt overwhelmed, Mike met us in person to have a 2 hour meeting and discuss music choices, wedding party entrances, and just hang out. No challenge was too big...he even made it possible for my dad to sing us our first dance song (and did a sound check with him to calm his nerves!) And if the music wasn't enough, he seamlessly provided up lighting for the reception and a gorgeous throne chair for our sweetheart table for rent. Mike's love for music and ability to bringing joy to others shines on the dance floor and beyond. He has an undeniable talent to fill the room with fun while making the bride and groom feel loved by their guests the whole night. Hiring Music Man Entertainment was one of our BEST vendor choices. Thank you, Mike! We are SO thankful for you!!! read more

Music Man Mike Garrasi truly made our wedding day come to life! From start to finish, he was incredibly organized, attentive, and made every detail feel personal. He didn't just play music--he created an unforgettable experience that made our day feel absolutely magical. Our guests barely left the dance floor all night long. Mike perfectly mixed classic favorites, today's hits, and everything in between. He even amped up our T-shirt toss with some DMX, which had everyone laughing and energized. To top it all off, he ended the night with everyone gathered together singing and celebrating to "New York, New York"--a moment we'll never forget. One of the things that makes Mike so special is how connected he is to the people he works with. Having DJed so many weddings for our friends and family, he knew so many of our guests and even gave shout-outs for birthdays and anniversaries throughout the evening. Those personal touches made everyone feel welcomed, celebrated, and part of something special. Mike was not only our DJ--he officially became family. We cannot say enough wonderful things about him. If you want a wedding that is fun, seamless, personal, and truly magical, Music Man Mike Garrasi is the person to book! read more

Mike Garrasi of Music Man Entertainment provided DJ services for our wedding reception, but it truly felt like so much more. From start to finish, he went above and beyond to ensure every musical and audio detail ran seamlessly. One example that really stood out was during cocktail hour. Mike set up an additional audio system in the cocktail space to keep the room filled with music while our live musician transitioned from the ceremony. It was a thoughtful touch that kept the energy consistent and showed how proactive and detail-oriented he is. Throughout the planning process, Mike was incredibly organized and professional. He expertly guided us through every music decision and helped us think through timing, flow, and key reception moments. His emcee skills are unmatched and truly set the tone for the entire evening. He struck the perfect balance of polished, engaging, and fun without ever overpowering the room. Hiring a DJ you have not heard live before can feel like a big leap of faith, but we are so happy we chose Mike. He is an absolute expert, and we highly recommend him. read more

We knew from the moment that we spoke with Mike that we needed him for our wedding! He took the time to get to know us, pronounce all of our names correctly for the entrances, and he listened to our music preferences/songs we wanted to hear played! Leading up to the big day, he was always available and flexible with our schedules to talk or offer some advice. He was well organized with the schedule, and everything went off smoothly with timing. He knew our venue extremely well and knew the vendors we were working with. He played a great variety of music and offered up some suggestions when we weren't sure what to choose. Our family could not stop talking about how Mike's amazing energy and his enthusiasm! Our dance floor was full all night because Mike knew what music to play to keep the party going. We had some cultural music that we wanted to play and he was more than willing to play it. If you are looking for an incredible DJ for your event or wedding, we absolutely recommend Mike! We promise your wedding will be filled with laughter, fun, and dancing the night away! read more

Mike is the best of the best if you are looking for a DJ for your wedding or event. He was so helpful and attentive during the planning process and offered really great advice & recommendations to us. He absolutely blew away our expectations the day of the wedding, all we wanted was a dance party and that's exactly what we got! He continuously checked in with us throughout the night to make sure everything was flowing as it should and that we were happy with everything. My husband and I had a last dance at the end of the night, just the two of us and Mike was helpful to get people out so we could have a minute alone to soak it all in. We also had the mirror photo booth at our wedding, Cody was incredible as well. He put up with everyone's shenanigans and at the end of the night gave us a full photo album with all of our guests 4x6 photos that were printed out for them during the night as well as a USB drive with all of the photos on it. All of our guests had so much fun dancing and taking pictures in the photo booth all night, we can't recommend them enough!!! read more

OMG- I can't say enough about Mike. BEST DJ EVER! He was absolutely incredible, and our guests couldn't stop raving about how amazing he was. Everyone had the best time at our wedding. From the very first phone call, I knew I made the right decision choosing Mike as our DJ. With two different cultural backgrounds, it was so important to us that both families caught a vibe & Mike absolutely nailed it. He blended everything together effortlessly, and our guests were blown away by his expertise!! I truly can't thank him enough. Music is what makes a wedding fun, and Mike brought all the energy and more! He even included a slideshow of our engagement photos during dinner on his DJ booth, and the uplighting was incredible. Christian and I can't fully put into words how amazing he was. Our wedding was truly a dream come true, and Mike played such a huge part in that. Mike should 100000% be your first call if you're planning a wedding--you'll love him from day one & he will make sure your wedding is EPIC!!! Wish we could go back and relive our day over again read more

Mike is simply the best. There is so much to say about him that a review cannot hold- he is a true professional who very clearly LOVES his couples and his craft. Mike has amazing energy, and every time we spoke to him he got us so excited for our big day. We felt like no matter what happened, Mike would make it a fun day no matter what (and he did). Our dance floor was PACKED throughout the entire night, straight up until the last dance. No one left early, even the grandmas stayed until the very end because Mike made it a true day-long celebration. Mike knows exactly what to play and when and can read a room perfectly- we gave him a few bands we loved and he ran with it- and KILLED it. Weeks later everyone is talking about how they had the best time, and uncles who "never" dance even got up and busted a move. Our wedding was a weekend to remember, and Mike made sure everyone will be talking about it for years to come. We recommend Mike to anyone who is looking to work with an amazing person who is fun, welcoming and creates the best party ever. read more

I don't know that I could ever articulate how incredibly happy we were with Mike, both leading up to and then on our wedding day. After our very first call, I was absolutely positive that he was the vendor for us and we had absolutely no doubts leading up to the day that he would set the tone to be exactly what we wanted - a big party. We often joked that he was more excited for our wedding than even we were - because he really just exudes the most positive energy. Mike had our dance floor filled the ENTIRE night. Leading up to the day, he answered my every email with such speed I wondered if he even slept. There is a reason he has so many incredible reviews and it's because he truly is the best. If I could do this over again 1000 times, I would pick him every single time without a doubt. Do yourself a favor and book him immediately because you will not regret it for a second. Thank you Mike for an incredible night that we will never forget. I'll miss our phone calls - you pumped me up even more than I already was! read more

We absolutely loved working with Mike! From start to finish, he was professional, organized, and so easy to work with. The sound for both our ceremony and reception was perfect, and his setup was completely seamless. We even had a last-minute song addition for our ceremony that we emailed him about the night before (at 1 am) and he worked it in with no problem at all. He curated a fantastic playlist that reflected our taste and kept the energy just right all night long. We also really appreciated that he checked in with us a few times to make sure everything was running smoothly -- it showed how much he cared about making the night perfect. We also booked the photobooth through Mike, which was such a fun addition! The photobooth attendant was super friendly, and Mike even made sure we got a nice photo of ourselves, which we loved. Having the photobooth guest book to take home that night and flip through the next day was such a treat. We'd absolutely recommend Mike to anyone. We would hire him again in a heartbeat! read more

Mike was absolutely amazing!!! Our dance floor was PACKED from the second the music started and people didn't leave it all night. Lets start with our first conversation with Mike before we booked him and he was all energy and knew what he was talking about. He just made everything so easy which is what we needed. About 3 weeks before the wedding we had another over the phone meeting and he told us exactly what he needed for day of. Made our life easier having some direction on picking songs. He even has a website with popular songs listed incase your having a hard time picking. Wedding day Mike was extremally professional, kind and really did his thing. I did make my own cocktail/dinner music play list and Mike played all of the songs I requested. Things to make a wedding unforgettable is food, booze (if that's your thing) and music. Mike completed that vision for us. He was everything and more. We will defiantly book him again for any large gatherings and I will 100% refer him to anyone looking. read more
