Michael and Matt were top notch! These guys knew how to get the party started, keep the party going, and we had the best time with the games they provided. They were so helpful throughout and were really on it with playing some great mixes of songs - we were so lucky to have these guys DJ our wedding. It's always so nerve racking but these guys were on it throughout the process and were very thorough with the preparation especially the week prior to our big day! So SO Great!!! More...

The BEST DJs in the game. Michael and his team exceeded all expectations. We had the best night of our lives and Michael (and Matt the best MC ever!
!) played a huge part in that. He brought alllllllll the vibes and created the absolute best moments on our dance floor that we'll cherish forever.
In the year leading up to our wedding, Michael constantly checked in on us and made the process so easy. He really takes into consideration the music you want on your day and the atmosphere that you want to set. Michael is also a true man of his art - he doesn't just press play, but really mixes the songs all night. We, including all of our friends, were so wowed :')
We can only hope that more of our close friends decide to get married soon so that we can recommend 949 Studio to DJ their weddings lol! We couldn't be more thankful to this team. We would get married a thousand times over and use Michael and his team every time.
P.S. If you're thinking about the dance floor lighting and the venue uplighting options, DO IT. They really create such a fun atmosphere and we were so happy we added them to our package.

Mandy and Michael
From the moment we connected with Michael, we knew we were in good hands--but we had no idea just how much of an impact he and Brian would end up having on our wedding day.
The two of them were absolutely phenomenal, and truly brought our celebration to life from beginning to end.
Michael went above and beyond throughout the entire planning process, offering expert suggestions, seamless communication, and a setup that was nothing short of flawless. The audio, lighting, and music choices were spot-on--and we couldn't have imagined a better soundtrack to our day.
Some personal highlights we'll never forget:
Michael's thoughtful edit to our first dance song, giving it a longer instrumental lead-in, made our dance feel choreographed and professional--when in reality, we had put it together only a few days prior!
His suggestion to do a practice dance during our room reveal ended up being one of our most cherished moments. Dancing alone in that space, with sunlight streaming in and everything finally done, was magic.
Throughout the speeches and trivia game, we noticed clever, perfectly timed music cues and MC commentary that showed just how present and attentive both Michael and Brian were. It felt like everything had been planned down to the second, when really it was just their talent shining through in the moment.
When we unexpectedly needed an extra mic for a surprise performance by my parents, Michael and Brian were on it without hesitation--making that moment seamless and unforgettable.
Brian was a standout MC--charismatic, smooth, and completely in sync with the vibe of the crowd. The games they had planned were fun, creative, and brought so much joy to our guests while giving them a chance to learn more about us in a genuinely entertaining way.
And then there was dance hour. Wow. The custom remixes, the transitions, the energy--it was next level. I couldn't stop coming up to the booth to tell him how much I was loving it. Multiple guests told us it was the best wedding DJ experience they'd ever had, and honestly? We agree. We're looking forward to telling our friends to book them for their own weddings--and we're hoping to be guests at those just so we can experience it all again.
Even the lighting and foam light sticks--which my wife was originally hesitant about--ended up being a game changer. The uplighting was tasteful and elegant, and the light sticks helped even the shyest guests feel comfortable getting out on the dance floor. It struck the perfect balance between classy and fun, and it was all thanks to Michael's thoughtful recommendations.
As we shared in a note to all our vendors, my wife and I wanted to surround ourselves with people whose energy and presence made the day even better--and Michael and Brian were exactly that. We felt like we were working with friends who were genuinely invested in our day and brought their full selves to making it special.
We wholeheartedly recommend Michael and Brian to any couple looking for a team that's not just technically excellent, but emotionally invested, collaborative, and fun!
Our biggest takeaway--and our top tip for anyone planning their wedding--is this: choosing the right vendors makes all the difference in creating the perfect day. Choose the ones who are truly invested in their work, who care deeply about you and the final result. At the end of the day, you absolutely won't regret having them there--because they'll show up and give 110%.

Mike is an amazing DJ and helped make our wedding truly special. He not only has incredible talent with editing and mixing (he even went out of his way to make a perfect edit of our favorite song for our first dance! ), but also helped so much with emcee duties and the flow of the entire wedding. He is prompt with his communication, is super easy to work with, has great ideas, and would definitely recommend! More...
Tiffany
We got married on 3/23/2025 at Casino San Clemente and we decided to go with Mike and Jesse as our DJ/MC (Jesse speaks mandarin btw and was able to translate as the MC for our reception).
.. It was the best decision ever! From the very beginning aka our first meeting, Mike was super kind and gave a lot of good advice from his vast past experience as a wedding DJ/MC. He helped us curate playlists for our wedding based on the songs we liked and he did such a good job!
We last minute decided to have him set up a little bit earlier so he can play music as the guests are arriving at the venue and he kindly obliged. He's super easygoing and fun to work with. Our guests still talks about how good of a DJ he was because he created these mixes for the dance floor that'll surprise them. We highly recommend 949 studio!

I will keep this short and sweet. Highly highly recommend them. From MC to DJ, the team was fantastic. They were energetic and fun. Michael offered his expert opinions while still listening to what we want. I also really appreciate the great communication. I can tell this is not just a job for them, but a passion. Thank you so much for making our wedding an unforgettable one. More...

We couldn’t have asked for a better team for our wedding! From the very start, they were professional, attentive, and fully committed to making our day unforgettable.
They truly listened to what we wanted and made the entire experience all about us.
Our MC, Matt, kept the energy high all night—our guests absolutely loved him! He seamlessly guided the flow of the evening, making sure everything felt effortless and engaging. Meanwhile, our DJ, Michael, crafted the perfect soundtrack, blending our favorite songs with crowd-pleasers that had everyone on the dance floor until the very end.
Together, they worked flawlessly, not only with each other but also with our other wedding vendors, ensuring every part of the night was smooth, fun, and stress-free. Their hard work and attention to detail created an amazing night, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Our wedding is still talked about to this day how much fun it was by our guests!
If you’re looking for an MC and DJ who will make your wedding unforgettable, look no further—this duo is simply the best!

Helen
Oh boy is this review long overdue...we were waiting for our photos from our photographer and this review got a little delayed.
We decided to go with 949 studio for our wedding and it was the best decision! They were our officiant, MC and DJ team. It was so nice to have all three come from the same company as it's one less vendor to coordinate.
It can be scary selecting a DJ as it's kind of tough to really know how the vibes will be without having used them before. So I hope this review confirms for you that everyone had the best time dancing and partying at our wedding. We believed music was one of the most important parts of a wedding and Michael really hit home run with this. He was so helpful through the music selection process and just picked up the vibes of the crowd throughout the night. We also had a K-pop dance routine and he got that on point with the grand entrances. He also met with us virtually several times and gave us some tips even if it wasn't related to music.
Matt as our officiant and MC was such a great choice as well. He carried this kind and sophisticated manner throughout the entire day and brought some humor too when appropriate.
When I have another event, I will definitely come back to 949 studio. If you are reading this, just book them. This is coming from a very picky bride

Sarah
Mike did such a great job at our wedding reception. We needed a bilingual Vietnamese speaking MC and he was able to find us the right fit!
He has a lot of experience working with different venues and we were able to lean on him quite a bit when building our timeline.
Mike and his MC did such a great job and the event went together smoothly! Love that his mixes the songs we picked together and we were able to keep people on the dance floor until 11:30pm on a Sunday night!

Joel
949 provided audio, emcee, and DJ services for our wedding. During the ceremony, they executed our playlist perfectly. They executed our planned entry to our reception with professionalism and excitement.
During our planning calls with Michael, he mentioned that it didn't seem that we had any lighting. Had he not mentioned this, our dance party would have been a bust. During the dancing, they played our favorites and incorporated some of their own.
We have no regrets using 949 Studio and will recommend their services to friends having events in SoCal.

Margaret
Michael was an amazing DJ for our wedding. Leading up to the wedding, he had a calm presence and was very easy to work with.
He is able to match the vibe that you are going for in your wedding.
In terms of the day of the wedding, Michael and his MC were incredible. I really want to highlight that the MC did an amazing job bringing up the energy of the wedding and responding to what the audience was giving to him. In addition, Michael really read the room and made sure that the music kept up the energy of the wedding.
It was an incredible night, and I am so grateful for them!

Michael and Jason were an absolute dream! We were fortunate to find Michael and his team at the beginning of our wedding vendor search. Thankfully, he and his team were available on our proposed date, as my husband and I felt an immediate connection with him from the moment we met at our first meeting. From the beginning, Michael was incredibly attentive, reaching out to gather information about our vision, musical taste, and vibe we were hoping for. He made sure to review every single detail from start to finish to ensure everything went as planned. He truly spent so much time curating our playlists, which were perfect. What an incredible day it was - so much credit to Michael and Jason for bringing our vision to life from the moment guests arrived at the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to the moment they stepped off the dance floor. His mixes were INSANE. Every single song/remix was an absolute hit with exquisite transitions. Our MC, Jason, was equally remarkable - such amazing energy, flow, and entertainment throughout the reception. Their team suggested a game to get our guests involved/hyped up, and it was a hit! Can't say enough about Michael and Jason. We wish we could get married again just to relive the excitement of the day they created. Looking forward to reaching out to them again for future celebrations. More...
Bianca
Michael has been nothing but amazing! He has been such a big help throughout my planning journey. He's a reliable DJ that made the transitions in our wedding from ceremony, coctail hour, to the reception so smooth.
Everyone also had a blast during our dance party hour! We couldn't ask for a better DJ!
Matt was our MC for the night and had worked so well with our friends and family. Even though we were all rowdy, he knows how to draw the crowd!! The games that I had planned were executed flawlessy and everyone had fun!
Thank you 949studio team!!!

CJ
DJ Mike was hands down one of the highlights of our wedding! From the start, the communication between us was spot on. He took the time to understand exactly the vibe I was going for--hip hop, RnB, and some great throwback tracks--and he nailed it. The music he played throughout the night was perfect. It had everyone vibing, from the cocktail hour all the way to the last dance. Multiple guests came up to me afterward to say how much they loved the music. The dance floor was packed all night, and the energy was incredible. DJ Mike knew how to read the crowd and kept the party going with the perfect mix of songs. Our MC Matt was also amazing! He brought so much energy and fun to the night. He really got the crowd going, and his presence added a great touch to the overall atmosphere. Both Mike and Matt were an awesome duo--professional, fun, and exactly what we needed to make the night unforgettable. If you're looking for a DJ who can create the perfect vibe and keep the dance floor full, DJ Mike is your guy! Highly recommend him and his team for anyone who wants a memorable, music-filled wedding. More...
Eric
I had the pleasure of working with Michael for my intimate wedding of 30 guests. He was extremely professional and gave us valuable advice ahead of time, noting that we might see a more reserved response on the dance floor, as most of our guests were Chinese. Based on his suggestion, we added lightsticks and incorporated some karaoke into the event, which worked perfectly. Definitely recommend him for any type of wedding! More...
Sharon
We had the incredible fortune of having Michael Tran from 9iv9 Studio as our DJ for our wedding on Aug 24, 2024, and he truly exceeded all expectations.
By the time midnight rolled around, we still had over 50 people dancing their hearts out on the dance floor, all thanks to Michael's phenomenal music and infectious energy.
Coming from a family of musicians, we have high standards when it comes to music, and Michael did not disappoint. His ability to mix tracks and bring people together through music is unparalleled. He was very communicative and made sure we created a Spotify playlist before the wedding with all our favorite songs, ensuring the night was filled with tunes we love.
Michael is not just a talented DJ but also a fantastic person to work with. His professionalism and dedication to making our event special were evident from start to finish. We highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience and a great time. If you want your event to be a hit, look no further than Michael Tran from 9iv9 Studio.

Michael was absolutely amazing as our DJ for our wedding! He kept the energy high the entire night, and our guests couldn’t stop complimenting how great the music was. Everyone was on the dance floor, and the vibes were perfect! My wife Sharon and I had a blast, and we’re already thinking about how we can book him for our next event. Highly recommend! :) More...
amanda
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Mike for our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with our decision. We discovered Mike through our wedding planner, who highly recommended him, and it's easy to see why!
From the moment we started working with Mike, it was clear that he was a true professional. He took the time to understand our music preferences, the vibe we wanted for our big day, and how we envisioned our guests enjoying the night. We were a bit worried that our guests would be shy and not dance throughout the night, but in the planning process, Mike had a few tricks up his sleeve that ended up working out really well!
For our reception, we had Matt as our MC and Mike as our DJ and this combo kept our guests entertained throughout the night. Their ability to read the room and get everyone to the dance floor was nothing short of amazing.
As the evening unfolded, Mike perfectly matched the music to the energy of the crowd, effortlessly getting everyone to stay on the dance floor. His seamless transitions and spot-on song choices kept the party alive, and our guests raved about how much fun they had.
If you're looking for a DJ who can make your event unforgettable, look no further than Mike and 949 Studio. We highly recommend him to anyone in need of a top-notch DJ who truly knows how to bring a party to life. Thank you, Mike, for making our wedding day so special!

I hired Michael for my wedding and he was amazing! The sound for our ceremony was perfect, the playlists were perfect, and he even brought lights to make the dancing at night more fun. I would definitely recommend Michael and his team for your event! More...
karen
We were recommended to Mike at 949 Studio from our wedding planner and we couldn't be more happy! My fiance and I have completely different music tastes and it was really important for us to have great music during the planning process. Mike was quick to respond whenever we had a question, and guided us through every step of the way when it came to music selection for our wedding. Jesse was our MC and did a fantastic job engaging with our bi-lingual audience of Mandarin and English speakers. Mike DJed our open dance perfectly, never playing too much of one song yet mixing and transitioning songs seamlessly. We got so many compliments from our guests that they had the best time ever during open dance! I'd highly recommend Mike and his team. :) More...
Danny
Cannot recommend Michael and his team more. They have all the equipment and experience to make your wedding feel like an epic celebration. We wanted the reception and after party to have a lot of energy, and they delivered. Michael spent a few hours with my wife and I discussing vibes for each part of the wedding. Arrival, cocktail hour, dinner, reception, and after-hours. He sent us song recommendations according to the vibe of each, and we removed some and added a lot. He helped us successfully go from soft and sweet, to more upbeat, to bay area, to edm and hiphop. Based off our tastes he was live mixing our recommendations with his own flair. He helped us craft an absolute amazing wedding. At the end of the wedding I heard comments like " The DJ was lit" "Who was that DJ? His mix of X was amazing." A few folks asked for his contact information because they have upcoming socal weddings as well. Book him while you can. More...
Son
I needed a DJ for my wedding and 949 Studio was the perfect DJ. Michael, the owner, always takes the initiative to reach out to me to make sure I got everything I needed before my big day.
His responses are quick and are within 24 hours. I felt at peace knowing that things will be handled when my wedding day comes. I didn't have to worry and Michael made sure I knew that. And because of these reasons, I strongly recommend Michael "949 Studio" to be your DJ for any events.
Matt (MC) and Brian (DJ) were assigned to be a part of my wedding day team. Both were welcoming and both were filled with energy. They made my wedding very memorable. The guests enjoyed the music and vibe. Thanks to them, my wedding day just gotten much better.
On top of that, their prices were very reasonably compared to other companies. With wedding expenses through the roof, it was nice to know 949 Studio still had affordable pricing.

We found 9iv9 Studio on an online group. We had a pleasure to work with Michael and his team. We had our initial meeting over Zoom and we love how personable he was. He really care about DJing and creating an enjoyable environment for family and newlyweds. Michael listened to that we want for our music to cater to our family and he created that on our wedding day! Micheal is honest and generous. He knew we were on a tight budget and was willing to work with us! We felt very lucky to have found him and had the opportunity to work with him! More...

We recently had the pleasure of having DJ Mike of 949 Studio perform at our wedding, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience!
From the very beginning, Mike was professional, accommodating, and genuinely invested in making our special day perfect. Mike was incredibly flexible and worked seamlessly with my brother, who played live on guitar for our first dance. Despite us running behind schedule with everything, the Mike was attentive and provided everything we needed.
Mike asked all the right questions and provided us with playlists of songs that perfectly matched what we were looking for, allowing us to edit those lists to our liking. He made the whole process a pleasurable experience. The equipment was top-notch, and he provided lights and a custom booth with our initials, giving the event a premium feel at a very reasonable price. He also had great suggestions, like adding LED light sticks for dancers on the dance floor, which added an extra fun element to the night.
DJ Mike and his team were excellent at improvising with the schedule, ensuring the night ran smoothly even if someone wasn't ready for their part. He was very easy to work with and even included an MC who was bilingual in Vietnamese, which was a blessing for our bilingual family. We received countless compliments from our guests about how great the DJ was. If you're looking for someone who will take your event to the next level, we highly recommend DJ Mike of 949 Studio!

We had the pleasure of working with 949 Studio for our wedding and they exceeded all our expectations.
DJ Mike was incredible from day one.
He is extremely personable and genuinely wants you to have an unforgettable wedding. He worked with us to curate the perfect playlist, capturing the exact vibe we were aiming for. He was always responsive and made us feel confident and relaxed throughout the entire process.
Emcee Matt got the energy, charisma and kept the night flowing smoothly. He listens and remembers everything. He uses little anecdotes he picks up during the evening to keep the crowd engaged.
Tip - Get the lights, get the customized DJ booth!
If you want good vibes, a night to remember and a dancing crowd, we highly recommend 949 Studio.
We miss them already!

Melody
200% would recommend 949 Studio. Michael is responsive, enthusiastic, and pleasant to work with. I'm so glad he was able to guide me through the itinerary planning process because I definitely did not know what I was doing. We didn't have an officiant either so Michael recommended Jesse, who did an amazing job too. They are both professional and I'm so glad they were there to guide us through the timeline of the wedding. Michael did such a good job with our music, my guests were dancing throughout the night :) More...
Nicole
We found 949 studio very randomly on Instagram while in the hunt for vendors and we are so glad we did! From the beginning Michael was able to convey a warm, fun and yet professional attitude with us as he got to know me and my (now) husband!
Not only did he take his time to talk with us about our music tastes but also helped us to perfect our wedding timeline with some great advice, train one of my family members to be our MC for the night, and support us with making sure our venue would have the best lighting to fit the color scheme and theme of our wedding.
The little details and amount of work Michael did to help us set up for the wedding really put us at ease with planning.
Brian was our DJ for the night we know that the DJ holds the power to set the vibe for the event. Brian never missed a cue during our ceremony and reception, worked seamlessly with my cousin as the MC, and had great transitions when the dance floor opened up.
Highly recommend 949 studio to DJ your ceremony, cocktail hour and reception! They will 100% make your day go smoothly and feel like your wedding day has its own flawless soundtrack like a movie!

alicia
Thank you Michael! You helped to bring our dream wedding to life! The music you added to the ceremony, your open communication and support meant so much to us.
The best feedback was that everyone loves the playlist. I was floating everywhere and that was always stated when I asked how they were feeling. For me it was being able to dance to Rufus Du Sol surrounded by my loved ones and still having a private moment with Donnell. Our families got to witness what happens constantly at home. We dance and sing together.
Bottom line, we created a vibe for our guests through the music selection and energy. Forever grateful!

Jen
Mike was AMAZING to work with!! From the moment we hired 949 to the day of the wedding, Mike helped us every step of the way to allow for the smoothest day ever! Our wedding was back in October and still hearing compliments about the mixes and music from our guests to this day! Mike does a great job at customizing the mixes and adjusting based on the dance floor vibes. No premade sets. The dj booth had a beautiful custom logo with our initials which was a small detail that we loved. Also shoutout to our amazing MC Joanne! Can't wait to work with 949 Studio again for future events :) More...
Amanda
I have nothing but great things to say about Michael and his MC Matt! My wedding was last Saturday and it went absolutely perfect! Michael knew how to keep the crowd dancing and upbeat on the dance floor and also kept my Dad happy with the Duran Duran songs. Michael always was quick to answer my questions via email and was very thorough and helped me throughout the whole process from start to finish. He truly made my wedding night a day I will never forget. I would recommend him for your wedding if you want someone who will give it their all! Also, the MC Matt is outstanding and was the perfect man for the job, he was quick on his feet when we had last minute changes to the script and everything went so smoothly. He is meant for it! Thank you Micheal for making my dream wedding a reality and for making everyone so happy! You brought me to tears at the end of the night, literally! I couldn't be more thankful! More...
Evelyn
949 Studio was awesome to have at our wedding! Michael, the owner and DJ, was communicative and responsive throughout the whole wedding planning process, which I really appreciated.
He really went above and beyond to make sure all of our song selections were incorporated into our ceremony, cocktail, reception, and dancing music. The MC, Matt, really kept the energy up and facilitated a great reception. They both recommended a fun musical chairs/trivia game that I was a bit hesitant about at first, but it turned out to be great addition to our reception and had everyone laughing.
I would highly recommend 949 Studio for anyone looking for a fun, reputable DJ/MC who will also turn the party up at your wedding!

You don't need to worry about the music and MC once you work with 949. Michael did everything smoothly and seamlessly. You can tell he care about your wedding and pay attention to every single detail. He discussed all the questions and concerns we had and provided professional suggestions. His music made everyone danced freely in our reception. Jesse, our MC, engaged with our guests very well. It is a big relief to work with a professional team on our big day! Thanks for being part of our wedding! More...
stephen
Working with 949 Studio was one of the best decisions my wife and I made for our wedding banquet! When we started planning for the banquet, my wife and I didn't even know where to start. Mike/Michael (the DJ) helped us build our playlists and gave really great recommendations as well for our banquet planning, and Matt (the MC) brought the perfect amount of energy and humor! My wife said many of the guests complimented the DJ's mixing, and I was really happy to hear from our guests that they liked Matt as well. Mike and Matt also adjusted so smoothly when we had to make schedule changes DURING dinner. Cannot recommend 949 Studio enough! Definitely don't hesitate to contact them if you are in need of a DJ/MC. More...
David
These guys nailed it for our wedding. I don't think it would have been as much fun as it was were it not for Mike and also the MC for the night Matt. Sharing a similar love for edm and trance music helped but they were still able to curate everything for the crowd too. Pick these guys you can't go wrong More...

Mike and Matt did such a great job! We got so many compliments on how great they were. They definitely kept the energy going and made sure everyone had a great time. Highly recommend!
Michele
I loved partnering with Michael because not only is he a talented DJ, he is very meticulous and gives great advice!
I chose Michael because of the TLC he added in our initial conversation, he seemed to really care about my wedding experience assured me that he would deliver, and he did!
Everyone had a great time on the dance floor :)
I especially liked that I was able to partner and curate a Spotify playlist with Michael. This made song selection super easy and seamless.
I would def recommend 949studios and hire them for future events.

Brian (our DJ) did a great job during our wedding reception on 12/02/2023. Everything went smoothly from the entrance song all the way to the end of the party. He played all the right songs based on the genres that we brought up prior to the reception (planning stage). Michael communicated well with us to make sure that Brian knew exactly what we liked. Brian was also quick to play songs that we requested during the dance/party section of the night. I highly recommend 949 Studio and Brian for all your events, and i would definitely call them again for any of my future events. Five stars!!! More...
Justin
Where do we begin? Michael was so great! My wife and I had a Halloween themed wedding, and Michael came dressed up as Waldo (as in "where's Waldo? "). Everyone kept saying "DJ Waldo is amazing!" He was so professional, and did everything possible to accommodate our needs. He had suggestions for us based on the theme, kept us up to date with things, and overall was just a pleasure to work with. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone looking to hire a DJ for any event. More...
Duc
5/5 stars for 949 Studio!! We were so fortunate to have found such a great team on relatively short notice. Michael was wonderful to work with! super communicative and responsive throughout the whole process and helped us to make the perfect playlist for our wedding. He was very detail oriented and gave us helpful breakdown and suggestions of how to plan the night. We had Brian as our DJ and he was awesome! He got our guests up and dancing through the night and was always open to requests during the dance hour. The sound was great, and cutting our cake as the first chords of Kci and Jojo played is one of the things I'll always cherish from that night. Our MC was Erin and she was a perfect fit as she was bilingual in Vietnamese and English and kept everybody entertained. She made sure to check in on us and our schedule throughout the night which we very much appreciated. The trivia/musical chair game kept us laughing the whole time as well. Thanks to everyone at 949 for helping make our night so special! More...
kevin
Mike and his team (Brian (DJ) + Matt (MC)) gave us the best experience for our wedding! Even leading up to the event, they made sure to work with us to create the perfect music curation, with regular check-ins and recommendations throughout.
Their attention to detail went above and beyond. Mike was very responsive throughout the process and the music, speakers, dance floor lights, MC, wedding games, and vibes were all exactly what we were looking for.
We couldn’t have asked for a better team, and highly recommend 949 Studio!

Lauren
Mike and Matt seriously saved my wedding!! Soo many things went chaotic day of and without them I don't think we would have made it through the night. If you are wondering if you should pay for the MC... Pay for the MC!! So many of my friends and family have asked me for their contact information as they went above and beyond to create an amazing experience among a sea of stress. Without them it would've been a different story. The custom Photo Booth was so beautiful. I can't sing their praises enough. More...
Trevor
949 Studios was really something for our wedding!! Nothing but praise for DJ Mike and his team. From start to finish they were on top of the process, from making sure the music selection for every step (ceremony, cocktail, reception, dancing) way was curated to what we were envisioning.
But also being able to add in certain touches to our music selection that we could have never thought of just based on what the questionnaire and our must play songs are.
He was able to bring in custom signage for the dj booth which just elevates the table design vs just a plain table. He was also able to bring in custom mood lighting that changes the whole ambience vs just a dark room - that brought the party at night!
A lot of our guests complimented him on his selection of songs and mixing. Everyone had a great time with him on the decks. We will be forever grateful for him and his team for creating such a memorable night for me and my wife. I would not hesitate to recommend them for any occasion. You will not regret it.
Lastly pricing, what everyone really wants to know. Pricing. He was priced very competitively compared to the other quotes we got but he had the extras in that other companies charged so in the end he was the most competitively priced DJ in the end. BUT knowing what we know now. I would have paid more for his services in a heartbeat

Brian and Erin were amazing for my brother's wedding as the DJ and MC! I volunteered to be my brother's wedding coordinator although I had no experience. Brian and Erin were very kind, patient, and professional with me and answered all of my questions and requests. They even helped me move the timeline along so that everything could go smoothly. Brian engaged the crowd with his playlist and kept everyone on the dance floor. Erin captivated the audience with her introductions and wedding games. Thank you so much to both for making my brother's wedding as seamless as possible and providing amazing memories for our families and friends to cherish! I highly recommend Brian and Erin!! More...

We are so grateful and lucky to have found DJ Michael of 949 Studio! He truly goes above and beyond to make your wedding special and exactly how you dreamed it to be.
Here is a list of highlights from his service!
1. He is a real DJ that creates unique and amazing mixes! Mike proved this right away when he sent us SAMPLES of what he would play for the cocktail hour, dinner, and dance! And he proved it at the wedding! Everyone had an amazing time and loved the music!
2. He was so accommodating and generous! Our venue had to be changed unexpectedly just 2 months before the wedding, and he was able to be flexible and accommodate the changes. We need more uplights and he was so kind to throw in a couple of free ones. And the uplights looked perfect at the new location.
3. He has great equipment, including the super cute personalized DJ booth and dance floor lights and uplights that match the music! And the music system sounds perfect!
4. He contributed great ideas to make the reception extra fun! He had an MC help with making announcements so he can focus on the music. He also created a really fun game that is interactive with the audience, which was a lot more fun compared to the usual shoe game. The game was a mix of trivia, musical chairs, and treasure hunting. He also had us do a large group picture before playing a banger to get the dance floor started!
That’s just listing a few great things about working with 949 Studio and DJ mike! We highly recommend booking with them! Your wedding will truly be extra magical! Thank you so much for going above and beyond in making our wedding such an amazing celebration!

I want to give a big shoutout to DJ Mike and MC Matt for KILLING it at my wedding! These guys were professionals in setting the vibe and keeping the energy up on our big day.
WhenI first talked to Mike at the beginning of the year, he was such an easy person to chat with. He listened to what I had in mind and then sprinkled his professional wisdom and advice to help us create the perfect wedding atmosphere. What's even cooler was that he totally gets my taste in music, especially trance. Finding someone who's into trance is like finding a unicorn, but Mike and I vibed instantly when he mentioned he's an Anjuna fan. And when I told him I wanted "Treasure" by Above and Beyond for my bridal entrance, he was as excited as I was. Also, he curated a mashup for me and my dad's dance, and he was incredibly patient and accommodating through it all. Even those late-night emails got quick responses!
About a week before the wedding, we had a thorough phone call where Mike took notes on every little detail. It was all about making sure we were on the same page to prevent any mix-ups on the big day. On the day of the wedding, Mike really brought the party to life, especially on the dance floor! Everyone was grooving until the very end, and that brought me full of joy.
MC Matt was a legend too. Even when we had some last-minute timeline changes and unexpected hiccups, he handled it like a pro, making everything run seamlessly for the guests. His energy was high throughout the night to make the night upbeat and positive!
I can't thank these guys enough for going "above and beyond" to make our day extra special. If you're looking for a DJ and MC for your wedding, these guys are what you want to have!

To say they brought the party was an understatement. They MADE the party!! We were so happy to have Michael (DJ) and Matt (MC) there for our wedding. They provided us with so much fun on our big day and really made the wedding come alive. Michael gave us a preview of what his mixes were, and it was absolutely FANTASTIC!! There was never a moment our dance floor wasn't full of people dancing the night away! They aren't any ordinary DJ team, I really felt like it was an awesome club that all age ranges were able to enjoy. They gave us good recommendations in regards to flow of our ceremony and reception, and we couldn't be more grateful. We still have people telling us how much fun our wedding was. 10/10 recommend getting them to DJ your next event!! More...
