Michael from Expressions of Music was absolutely PIVOTAL in our wedding day!!! He cares so deeply about the bride and groom having the wedding of their dreams. He spares no detail, he was intentional, and he provided us with resources so we could be the most prepared for our day. I didn’t have to worry, Michael is an incredible professional who would do anything in his power to make sure the day goes right. He is creative, gave us ideas of how to help with the flow of the reception entrance (some of us are awkward and need help!) but without being pushy about his ideas! He helped foster the most seamless, beautiful day I could’ve ever dreamed of. Thank you Michael! 5 stars aren’t enough! More...

If you are in need of an all-inclusive DJ service, look no further than Expressions of Music with Michael. From our first contact months and months ago to the very end of our wedding night, Michael went above and beyond ensuring we maximized the complete experience of our wedding day. His meticulous touch on planning paired with his welcoming personality made this entire process incredibly smooth and stress free.

This guy has to be amongst the best in the biz, and I mean that wholeheartedly. Please reach out to this man if you are looking to streamline your DJ needs while maximizing value and entertainment on your special day. Thanks again, Michael!

With love,

Kam & Courtney McCullough

Michael was beyond professional, and was more helpful than I could ask for. Michael did more than a normal DJ would, and did his best to ensure that our wedding night went as smoothly as possible. Not only is Michael a professional who cares very much for his job, he was a blast! Excellent song choices, and helped make sure that the dance floor was as active as possible. 10000% recommend!

We couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our wedding! From the very beginning, he was incredibly professional and attentive. He met with us several times before the big day to make sure he understood our vision and preferences, which really put us at ease.
On the day of the wedding, he absolutely delivered. He played every song we requested and kept the energy up all night. His ability to read the crowd was spot on—people were on the dance floor from the first song to the last! He was not only a great DJ but also an entertaining presence who helped make the night unforgettable. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about making your event perfect and knows how to keep the party going, look no further. Highly recommend!

Carly, Thank you so much for this incredible review. I am blessed and thankful to have provided for your wedding. It warms my heart to have you share this with me and to know your celebration was that much more with Expressions Of Music providing. With you both all the best of blessings!

I can't brag on Expressions of Music enough. He was amazing to work with and did way more than just Dj at my wedding. He always called and followed up on my ideas and made sure it all came together perfectly. He even helped coordinate my wedding and that was so nice knowing that even though I had a coordinator he was an extra set of hands knowing what to do and helping my day be as perfect as it could be. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ, CORDINATER, PHOTO BOOTH GUY, LIGHTING and just all around a great guy to work with and be a part of your wedding or event. Thank you again for everything! I appreciate you more than you know. More...

We had an amazing experience with Michael of Expressions of Music. He worked diligently to obtain the music our bride sought, even when is was unique and not in his play list. He provides the best service of all aspects in music and entertainment from the moment guests started arriving at the chapel, to the end of so much fun and dancing with the attendees. Micheal is the best you can ever find!!! More...

Jackie Thank you so very much for this awesome review. I am so thrilled and thankful to have provided success and fun for such an incredible wedding day.

28 February 2025

Michael was an absolute lifesaver! When our original audio guy had to bail last minute, he stepped in seamlessly and made sure everything went off without a hitch. Not only did he keep the energy high and the dance floor packed, but he also worked so well with our other vendors, making the whole night flow effortlessly. He fully embraced all of our quirky touches, making our wedding feel so us. And when he realized our photographer wasn’t there to capture our last dance, he went above and beyond—grabbing his phone to film the moment for us. That level of thoughtfulness and dedication is rare, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Truly the best DJ we could have asked for! More...

It has been nearly two months since we got married and we are still receiving compliments about Michael and Expressions of Music! ! From the youngest guest to the oldest, everyone loved him!

Michael was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. He takes on a much larger role than a DJ and by the end of wedding planning he was my best friend! His years of experience in this industry truly are invaluable. He thought of things before I could and always had solutions or ideas to provide. He worked well with our other vendors and made sure everything ran smoothly the entire evening. Having Michael and Expressions of Music at our wedding was truly the highlight of the night and something all of our guests enjoyed!

Many of my guests had come to me complimenting our DJ. Not only did he provide excellent music, but Michael went above and beyond to ensure our day was perfect. Whether that was ensuring we had a plate or drink at dinner, or making sure my dress was bustled appropriately, Michael was on top of it! More...

Michael was absolutely amazing!! He was so great and easy to talk to, and such a huge help with planning out logistics of everything! He thinks of all the little details that can get lost in the planning process and is a fabulous problem solver when needed. He was willing to step in and help wherever needed to make the day a success! He had great ideas for our reception and made it so fun! Our guests loved him and thought he was great! His set up was great, and the uplighting and dance floor projection he brought made our reception space look even more amazing. Michael has done multiple events with our families and we could not recommend him enough- we are so thankful for him!! More...

We had the absolute pleasure of having DJ Michael Hale as our wedding DJ, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From the start, it was clear he was a true professional who genuinely cared about making our day special.

Our guests were raving about how much fun they had and how great the DJ was. Michael was prompt, professional, and attentive throughout the planning process. He made sure to keep in touch and was flexible with any last-minute changes we had. It was obvious to us that Michael has tons of experience and thought of things we wouldn't have otherwise. We couldn’t be happier with our choice and would recommend him to anyone planning a wedding!

We opted to add the photo booth and would absolutely recommend it. Our guests had a blast and we got so many compliments on how fun it was (and how awesome the photo booth attendant was!). It was so nice being able to book all the MCing, music, and photo booth through one vendor; it made the planning process smoother and was less to worry about.

Thank you Michael for making our special day even more memorable!

Mike made us feel at ease during the day of the wedding. Even in planning he was very tentative and made sure he covered all bases. He made sure the music was on point the whole time. 10/10 would hire him again for any event. More...

Working with DJ Michael was the best! He had everything handled and worked hand in hand with my wedding coordinator to get everything done. He was very professional and he was the best— people were on the dance floor all night! He was even able to capture a video of our last dance and send it to us while everyone was lining up for our send off. We were so ecstatic to have him & would 10000x over recommend him!!! More...

We have used Michael Hale with Expressions of Music for our last 4 school dances. He keeps the energy up, plays appropriate music (it is a school event), and the kids love it!

24 June 2024

Michael was amazing! The ceremony and music flow was perfect, and the after party kept that same momentum! He really brought life to the party, and it was such a great event! Couldn’t recommend enough!

13 June 2024

Michael is absolutely delightful! He has a great personality and sense of humor. His music library is expansive and he really knows how to get and hold event attendees' attention. He encourages them to participate in activities, such as his photo booth, and have a good time. We had a blast with him at our company summer social! More...

12 June 2024

I would give more than 5 stars if it was an option!!! I truly can not even put into words how great Michael was. He genuinely cares about his clients. Before the wedding, he talked to me on the phone several times for over an hour each going through details, giving ideas and advice. He helped make it a fun and seamless process. During the wedding, not only was his DJing skills incredible and brought the dance floor to life, but he stepped up when needed. His wedding expertise saved our day after our day of coordinator had a medical emergency and the venue completely failed us in every way. Michael took over the flow/timeline of the night and truly saved the day. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ. He goes above and beyond and is the best in the business!!!!

Expressions of Music was the most amazing choice we could have made for our DJ on our wedding day. Each call with him leading up to our event was extremely detailed, and that gave us a great amount of confidence in his ability to understand our vision and execute it perfectly on the big day. He arrived early to set up for our pre-ceremony music, had a great set-up for our ceremony, and kept our party going all night long during the reception! We had many guests remark about how great the music was, and it wouldn't have been the same without Expressions of Music. More...

Me and my husband got married on Nov 25. Prior to getting married, we had many phone calls with Michael that were very beneficial to helping us plan our day. He went above and beyond during the whole planning process and helped to ensure our wedding day went as smoothly as possible. He was very prepared and had everything we could possibly need and more. He is also very passionate about music and making sure that the music is played to suit all guests. This lead to getting all of our guests out on the dance floor and making sure everyone had a good time. We would both highly recommend him to anyone looking to make their day a little more special!

Michael is the BEST in town! He is a man that wears many hats on the wedding day. On our wedding day, he was so caring and was one of the top reasons that our wedding day flowed so well. He has many planning sheets which were extremely beneficial in creating a playlist for the whole wedding day. He really does play the songs that you ask for! Also, since he was aware of our wedding day timeline, he helped coordinate with the other vendors to make each part of the day flow effortlessly. He offered my husband and I water before we entered the reception, and checked on us to make sure our wedding was exactly how we wanted (including first dances, cake cutting and dinner). When the dancing began, it was a PARTY! He pulled out some fun hats and threw them around for the guests, played unique wedding day songs (and some classics), and welcomed and played all requested songs. Michael IS AWESOME. Seriously. I could never suggest another dj enough!

And... At the end of the night when my mom was packing up the leftover food, she realized that she forgot to bring seran wrap. Michael drove down to the Dollar General and bought some to bring back and help! What! He's awesome and so kind.

He offered much more than the perfect music for a party, he brings a piece of mind that he will make the event run smoothly.

We needed a DJ for a corporate award show and Mike Hale was extremely helpful and professional throughout the whole process.

Mike saved our wedding day. I mean that completely! Our first DJ service cancelled and I started emailing every DJ I could, and within 15 minutes Mike called me at 9:15pm and talked to me for 45 minutes about the services he offers. Next, our wedding coordinator cancelled two weeks or so before the wedding. Mike stepped up and helped fill that role and did an absolutely amazing job. He has everything you could imagine, keeps the guests involved and entertained, and even let my brother keep a hat that he grew attached to! If you don’t hire Mike for your DJ services for whatever event you’re hosting, you’ll regret it! More...

12 January 2023

Mike with Expressions of music is hands down the best you could ask for with anything you need. He was so dedicated and so willing to step in and help, when he did not have to do so. Mike made sure everything was in place at the right time and was there to save the day when things went wrong. I forgot my cake knives, he had a set. I did not have the sparklers I wanted for my "send off," mike had enough for everyone. He had hats, and things to dance with while we had the best night. Everyone at my wedding did not, but BRAG on how amazing and talented Mike is and how you can tell he has done this before. Mike will forever by my ONE and ONLY recommendation to you if you are looking for someone to provide with the best day possible. He has all his ducks in a row with every service he provides. I cannot thank Mike ever enough for is dedication to making sure my day was everything I dreamed of and more. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you Mike and Expressions of Music. It was truly the best day of life, because of you. Thank you forever! More...

Mike is the definition of professional. His experience in the wedding industry was evident from the first minute of our initial consultation. He knows the questions to ask and what’s most important on making sure everything runs smoothly on the big day. To say Mike is simply a DJ would be an injustice to the amount of effort he puts into his craft and his willingness to go above and beyond the scope of his responsibilities to ensure everything goes off without a hitch.

Mike and his team brought a photo booth to the wedding, which I admit I was hesitant about at first. However, it turned out to be one of the biggest hits at the wedding. He and his team ran it so smoothly and the number of props were endless. Everyone from the bridal party to the grandparents were getting in on the action! My wife and I will cherish those photos for many years to come.

Bottom line, the amount of planning that goes into a wedding can be overwhelming. Mike differentiates himself by going above and beyond simply being a “DJ” and works to understand the needs of the bride and groom, and how he can best be of service. I would absolutely hire Mike again and recommend that you do the same.

Photo Booth Hire

Mike was wonderful to work with! He is a great communicator, entertaining for kids and adults, and overall a joy.
We used him for some school events and he impressed everyone each time.

Q&As

Checking the crowd, looking around to acknowledge everyone out there and if the current song is not working then move to something different. Being willing to change and adapt with room and guests to make sure everyone is enjoying themselves.

I strive to mix all styles of music. My style to give the very best to every event to everyone that is attending that event.

Being able to receive prints onsite and then also get a digital copy of all the photos taken from the booth. Allowing the client to reproduce or post the photos as they wish.

Quite an array of choices. About 8-10 ft of table space. Choices range from signs to hats & glasses. Masks, leis and blow up props. Give guests an option to change it up during the session and come back for more because there are so many choices.

I love providing success and memories to every event. No matter the size or the reason for gathering. The best memories are created when there is entertainment to exceed the expectations of the guests.

I found a heartfelt desire to provide music, lighting & entertainment services to everyone I can. To see people having so much fun and be the reason for it.

Personalized, customized, heartfelt & passionate. I am somebody that cares about each event rather than just doing the event and moving on. I have so much to do with the success and memories.

Hand sanitizer, disinfecting sprays for all props & networking with companies that provide sanitation services for event spaces before and after the event as needed.
