At weddings, Mike appropriately refers to himself as Michael or Mike, not Madman Mike Your Musical Slave and does not advertise. Weddings are about the bride & groom, not the DJ.
Mike is a Respected, Well-Known Professional Mobile DJ and member of National Association of Mobile Entertainers (N.A.M.E.) Motor City Music Foundation (MCMF) plus several other disc jockey, wedding, music and civic minded organizations.
He was nominated as one of Metro Detroit's best Wedding DJs in WDIV TV "Vote 4 The Best". Mike is under the category: Weddings - Best Music.
He is a very serious wedding disc jockey. "I understand the significance of getting married and sharing this lifetime moment with family & friends. Knowing that your special day will have emotions and memories that will last a lifetime, there is no substitute for DJs who can perform up to your expectations. Piece of mind is getting a DJ who takes weddings very seriously and can do things right the first time, considering that DJs can't practice working at your reception ahead of time."
From elegant sophisticated tuxedo receptions to less structured celebrations, Mike is a versatile disc jockey who can present himself and the music of your choice exactly the way you prefer. You know what you want and it's Mike's job to make it happen.
Important: Mike is never vulgar. He always shows respect, decency and common courtesy.
Conveniently located in the center of Metro Detroit (City of Southfield), southeast Oakland County, he is available for weddings in the Metro Detroit area including Macomb County and Wayne County, all southeast Michigan, Ann Arbor area, plus much of the lower peninsula.

Choice of Styles in which Mike can DJ for You
• Strictly Sophisticated. The reserved, "prim & proper" low key style. Basically, no talking on the microphone except for any planned introductions or required announcements. Talking is done in a clear, monotone type voice. This style allows for strict time-lines and pre-formatted music programs.
• Pleasant and Nice. The "most requested style". Smile, say nice things, do any introductions and your approved "asked for" announcements. Talking is done in a positive "today is your special day" type voice. Everything done in good taste, nothing cheesy. This style offers the most flexibility during the reception. Plus, more song requests from family, wedding party and guests could get played.
• Interactive and Fun. The high energy "party style". Similar to a club/bar DJ actively motivating people for dancing & celebrating. Talking is usually done in a very upbeat "this is the greatest day of your life!" type voice. Dance music would be designed to put and keep people on the dance floor, meaning there's a good chance that fewer requests from family, wedding party and guests would get played.
• Strictly Sophisticated to start. Then later, Pleasant and Nice. The "play it safe style", avoiding any chance that your DJ might be considered obnoxious.
