949 Studio (DJ)

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!

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. More...

Mike was fantastic from the booking consult to the wedding day. He’s kind, professional, and amazing at what he does. He goes above and beyond to make the day perfect. Everyone had a blast at my wedding and it was all thanks to 949 Studio More...

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...

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...

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...

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! More...

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...

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 More...

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...

I'm so happy that I booked DJ Michael for our wedding! He was so easy to work and communicate with. He is truely amazing at his job and you will definitely see his work with his passion. DJ Michael helped me come up with the perfect wedding playlist. We wanted something that was upbeat so all of our guests can dance to the music. Our guests was definitely enjoying the wedding, thanks to the BEST DJ ever! We couldn't have had our dream wedding without DJ Michael! More...

Great attention to detail and skilled at seamless flow between songs/events/and moods as the night went on. We all had a fantastic time and would highly recommend Michael!

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! More...

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! More...

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...

Michael, Lisa and you did a fabulous job. Both of you really made my daughter's wedding reception so special and fun! Thank you for the kind words for my son-in-law, he is special and we are so happy to have him in our family.
Best of luck in the future for you in your business. Your doing a great job! Highly recommend you to anyone who's looking for someone that listens to what the client wants and knows how to work the crowd! More...

Music is like a time capsule and he does the best at reliving our youth and blending it with todays top hits. His transitions are seemless! He can play anything from old school hip hop to edm. We started off with hip hop but the party got lit real fast and the crowd needed something more upbeat so we ended with edm. I wish I could show videos of how his music brought the party to life. I was able to screen shot a photo of guests head banging on a Sunday afternoon. He definitely tailors the music to the needs of your party. Thank you for blessing our ears! More...

If you’re looking for your DJ to give great vibes and your MC to lead the way, you’re in the right place! Mike immediately picked up on mine and my partner’s music preference and vision for the wedding and helped us craft a playlist to keep guests jumping all night long.

But there’s more to a DJ than just keeping the party alive. From the groom’s entrance during the ceremony, well into cocktail hour, and through the end of the night, Mike transitioned the events seamlessly into one another.

MC Matt was awesome, also. During the cocktail hour before we got whisked away, I noticed Matt talking to our wedding coordinator so that he could help announce seating arrangements, and tiny dinner details to the crowd. Another example I can think of is during our cocktail hour, Matt learned that I’m a hobbyist baker and immediately announced to the crowd that the bread being served came straight out of my oven that day! Honestly you don’t find that kind of enthusiasm from someone ‘going through the motions’.

One great little touch about working with 949 Studios is that they had very flexible payment schedules. A huge plus once the dozens of Zelle payments started making a dent in my bank account. My only regret about working with Mike and Matt was that I didn’t get to have a drink with them the night of - they’re two great guys who kept us vibing all night long. More...

This review is long overdue as we were married in February and just now getting the chance to write this.

My husband and I had several meetings scheduled with DJs in a span of two weeks and Michael was the third one we spoke to. We immediately felt connected to him not only as our wedding vendor but as a person and it was so, so clear his priority for us was to help us create the most fun wedding. He was so friendly, wanted to get to know us, and was just so genuine. It was also apparent to us that music is a lifelong passion of his.

My husband and I had very specific requests when it came to our music selection for our wedding. Michael was very helpful all along the way helping us curate the perfect playlists and very specific music edits we had in mind. He also seemed to really understand our quirks and eccentricities which made all the planning that much more fun.

When it came time for the wedding he made very valuable suggestions that I’m glad we followed. We definitely recommend the glow sticks because that helped everyone of all ages (including my four month old niece) feel like they were a part of the party. He was also great at reading the crowd and understood how to keep the party going.

Lastly, our MC, Matt, was fantastic. He had such an easy going and genuine spirit and seemed so natural. At the end of the night our coordinator from Modest Magnolia was also impressed by him and said he was one of the best she’s seen.

We definitely recommend Michael and Matt as a wedding DJ and MC. Michael was so great to work with all along the way, so organized, and so helpful with our requests. More...

My partner and I absolutely loved Mike and 949 Studio. He was there with us every step of the way and even prior to booking him, we just really enjoyed the vibe and the conversation with had. It was more like talking to a friend, rather than a vendor and my partner and I really appreciated that. He also helped with recommendations for other vendors and had check-ins with us during the wedding planning to ensure everything was going smoothly, but also just making sure we were doing okay. Absolutely loved that he was able to read the room and played music that would really get the crowd going. 11/10 would recommend! Mike and his staff are amazing! :) More...

Hire this man!! Mike helped us throw the most fun and memorable celebration, and we will forever be grateful. From the beginning stages of talking through timelines and song choices, it is clear he has the experience to back up his talent and knows what he is doing. He knows how to get all generations on the dance floor!! We are in awe of the balance he strikes between professional and fun as hell. Thank you so much from my now husband and I for everything you did to make our day so special. We are SO glad you were our DJ. More...

We are so grateful to have worked with Michael. Michael went above and beyond as our wedding DJ -- he was amazing at reading the energy of our guests and adjusting the music accordingly. He also had so many great ideas to make our wedding more fun and memorable, like games and dance floor props. The custom DJ booth with our initials was also so special; so different from the usual plain tables most DJ use and it was a beautiful addition to our wedding. Additionally Joanne was an incredible emcee -- super professional and made everything flow smoothly. Thank you both for making our special day even more unforgettable. More...

I highly recommend 949 Studio! Michael was an incredible DJ and Matt was awesome as MC! Michael worked closely with us to create the playlists and lighting effects, and the trivia game was so much fun! I received several compliments on the music and everyone really enjoyed dancing! Michael mixed and blended the songs, and he included our top 7 songs that were must have's in each playlist category - cocktail hour, dinner, and dance. They helped make the wedding so special! More...

949 Studios was an incredible DJ to work with. Mike and Matt worked with us every step of the way to create an unforgettable reception! We held our Reception in March of 2023 at Five Crowns and they were professional, helpful in picking out music that matched my husband and my style, and let us have the fun/dorky/beautiful reception we wanted.

We originally contacted 949 about a year before our reception and they committed to us on a first come first serve basis. They did not require a deposit from us and we paid the day of the reception through the coordinator. They worked well with our day of coordinator as well.

They had suggestions and guidance for us when we weren't sure what to do for the father/daughter dance too. We brainstormed and they created a custom mixed song for me and my dad to dance to. They also suggested a really fun trivia game that we provided the prize to (a calendar filled with my husband and my faces).

All in all, hiring 949 for our reception was an amazing decision. They had all the right ideas, they were flexible, they were professional, and we could not have had the day we had without them. More...

DJ Mike was amazing! I’ve actually been to quite a few weddings recently and he was by far the best DJ I’ve seen. He made sure the energy was always high and kept the dance floor was practically full the entire night. OH and his transitions? Killer!! 10/10 would recommend. More...

Mike is a great wedding DJ with his experience in the club scene, he knows how to match beats and will be a hit at your wedding. As a bilingual English Mandarin wedding emcee and having personally worked with Mike a number of times, I have seen him turn the entire night around with his amazing DJ skills. If you don't want your DJ just playing songs off of a Spotify playlist, then DJ Mike is the person you want to hire. More...

DJ Mike was amazing! I’ve actually been to quite a few weddings recently and he was by far the best DJ I’ve seen. He made sure the energy was always high and kept the dance floor was practically full the entire night. OH and his transitions? Killer!! 10/10 would recommend. More...

I am over the moon and very happy we chose 949 Studio to DJ at our best friends wedding after party. Mike had amazing mash-ups, mixed the songs (he doesn't put on your Spotify Playlist on auto), took special requests from our guests and played all of the bride and groom must-have songs. Everyone was very pleased, the music was a perfect vibe along with some great ambiance lighting. Thank you so much! More...

We had Mike DJ my company's 1920s end of the year party. It was a big party of 1000 people and 2 large ballrooms which required quite a bit of logistics. He went above and beyond to make sure the logistics of the music between both rooms went smoothly, music choices for the event was fun but also company appropriate, and even created a company trivia/ scavenger hunt game for our employees to play. This was our first big part since Covid and Mike definitely helped make it memorable. Everyone had so much energy and fun dancing that no one wanted to leave by the end of the night. Mike was also kind enough to play two additional encore songs at the end of the night (that was how pumped the crowd was). We were so happy we picked him and would do it all over again. More...

Let me begin with wow... Just wow. Michael was always with us throughout the entire process making sure we had the right songs picked out for the right occasion. He would give us his insight but made sure we could have whatever we wanted. The dance floor was crazy packed which I never expected from my family. Meaning, Michaels dj skills were so good that non dancers, including myself and grandpa, started dancing it up. He gauged our interests and paired us with an amazing MC, young slick, clean looking guy named Matt. The nicest guy ever who made sure we were well taken care of and his charisma and energy throughout the night was great. Not a dull moment! Definitely recommend this company to anyone looking to have a great time! You both made our wedding memorable, appreciate you guys! More...

Was referred to Mike and Tiffany for DJ/MC services and they did not disappoint! All my guests couldn't stop talking about how good the music was throughout the wedding. Easy to work with and prompt to answer any questions we had ahead of the wedding day. With his extensive music selection and his technical DJ skillset, Mike curated live playlists that fit the perfect tone for each portion of the night; from cocktail hour to dinner to dancing, everything was spot on. Additionally, Tiffany was a fun and great MC, able to improvise whenever needed and did it with ease and charm. Highly recommend 949 Studio for any event. More...

Just had my wedding this past weekend and 949 Studio made it extra special! Thank you Mike for adding the perfect ambiance with 90s, 000s, and edm hits that all my guests enjoyed! The ambiance lighting was the perfect touch and everyone had such an amazing time. If you are looking for a real professional DJ set or club mix for your wedding I highly recommend using this team. More...

Mike was the best DJ I could’ve asked for at my wedding. He went above and beyond to make sure my wedding went smoothly and made the reception a blast. He followed up frequently to ensure my wife and I liked the music selections and the timeline for our wedding. His execution on the day of wedding was awesome. He prepared the dance floor setting with so many features and his DJing was on point. We got many compliments from our guests about how great Mike was. If you want a DJ who really cares about making your event memorable, I highly recommend Mike to be your DJ. More...

949 did an amazing job. At first oven the venue layout I was concerned it would be difficult for guests to hear anything. But Mike was a pro . Not only was the music selection great but special performances sounded amazing. Very responsive throughout the entire process. More...

I am so grateful that my wedding coordinator referred me to Michael (Mike) at 949 Studio. Mike and I created 3 playlists for my wedding (cocktail, dinner, dance) and I gave him top 10 "must play" songs in each playlist and I kid you not the man delivered on my big day! Not only did he play all of the top 10 "must play" songs, the man literally played 95% of ALL of the songs I had on all of my playlist (I have a good ear for my favorite music). Yes, I am a huge electronic music fanatic and have a deep appreciation for mashup songs and creative live mixing on the dance floor. I've been to EDC, Coachella, Life is Beautiful, individual artist shows, and everything in between and the legendary wedding set I experienced on my wedding night made it to the top of my list. Mike played all of my favorite bangers with some sprinkle of other genres (alternative rock, R&B, Kpop) at my request while also echoing the sound of my favorite DJ Alesso throughout the night. If you are looking for the ultimate wedding DJ (who actually does live mixes and read the crowd) and want someone who will cater to all of your musical needs on your big day, then look no further than Mike at 949 Studio!!!

A DJ who cares!

It was an absolute pleasure to work with DJ Michael in the last several months. When I was searching for a DJ I was super stressed and overwhelmed with finding someone I could trust and work with. A lot of DJ studios are impersonal and are trying to sell you on a package. I came across 949 studios and the vibe was just completely different. If you have one conversation with Michael you can immediately tell that he is a humble and hardworking guy, so easy to talk to. I trusted him right away and from the start he became one of my most reliable and helpful vendors. You think you are getting a dj, but he is actually also like your therapist and wedding planner too because he has really great experience and input in the industry overall.

There are 3 things about my experience that really stood out.

I am an extremely picky perfectionist person. I have very specific tastes on music, with a lot of obscure music selections. Michael was very respectful of keeping me happy but also still providing very sensible suggestions on how to cater to the overall vibe and crowd. He also definitely knows his music and has a lot of skill. He ended up making me a special mashup of two songs I love! In short, he is a professional.

Secondly, I think of all my vendors Michael was the most responsive. He is the kind of vendor who will respond to your email or text within 5 minutes, rain or shine. Which is great for me as a bride but probably frustrating for his wife ;) I always felt like he was ready to address any issue, big or small.

Lastly, Michael really took the time to be present and evolve our relationship to ensure the finished product was exactly what I wanted. From start to finish we had really good ongoing conversations about tasks that needed to be completed and input on things. One week before the wedding Michael had a couple of calls with me to go line by line over my timeline to make sure everything made sense. My wedding planner didn't even take the time to do this with me and Michael ended up finding problematic areas that she should have found.

I think there is a perception that when you are hiring a dj you are just hiring a person to press play on the music. I wanted someone who loves the music experience as much as I do. Music brings us together! Michael understands this! He knows it is an extremely special day and will go above and beyond to make it as special as he can for you. Thanks Michael, I will miss working with you! More...

Michael and Lisa are always a joy to work with. I have worked with a variety of DJs, but what I most value in a DJ is someone who is detail-oriented, responsive, and flexible. That's the epitome of Michael. When you book with him, you can rest assured that you will have guidance throughout the entire planning process. From the very beginning until the very end of the wedding day, Michael makes himself available to answer your questions, to guide you through the music selection, and to happily offer his suggestions regarding the timeline structure to ensure all vendors are successful and the couple's expectations are met. Michael and Lisa always go above and beyond, especially on the wedding day. No matter how hectic it may be, Michael and Lisa are always composed, even if the venue's fire alarm goes off just minutes before the grand entrance. What I also value about Michael and Lisa is their attentiveness and respect for the timeline. Before any announcements are made, they double check and triple check the pronunciations of names and the timing of events. No matter where Michael and Lisa are placed, they truly are valuable team players who not only make sure they are doing their jobs well but also go out of their way to ensure all other vendors have what they need to do their jobs well. When needed and in cases when the day may be a bit behind schedule, Michael and Lisa will also help pivot accordingly. I do not have enough good things to say about Michael, but what I can say is he is definitely one of the better DJs I have had the privilege of working with. I will always recommend him. More...

Michael was amazing! From the beginning he took the time to really understand the vibe we wanted for our wedding. I couldn’t recommend him enough!!

We had such a lovely time working with Mike and 949 Studios for our wedding. Mike was always prompt at responding to our questions. He is courteous, professional and has such a wonderful personality. He knew what we wanted and executed it perfectly. Everyone loved the music at our wedding and we couldn’t have been happier! If we could do it all over again, we would still choose him to be our DJ! More...

We hired Mike and Tiffany for our wedding on 6/11/22. From the beginning, Mike was always very responsive. He gave us a a music sample that included a bunch of throw back hits from the late 90s and early 00s. On our wedding day, he played so many good songs. Many of the guests stayed until the very end and danced the night away. Tiffany was also a very good emcee. Thanks Mike and Tiffany! More...

Thank you SO MUCH for everything you did for our wedding. I know I had multiple people come up to me and say the music was the best they've heard at a wedding ever! Your MC skills, your transitions, and the way you rolled with the punches (a drunk bride asking you to play Stars are Blind) more than showed not only your professionalism, but your passion for music. We loved how involved you were with the song selections, and you just really created the perfect vibe for the night! But what is most important and appreciated, is you are so kind. It was always a pleasure to work with and talk with you, and your sweet text on Saturday meant so much to me. Take it from me- DJ 949 is the way to go!!! More...

We recently hired Michael/949 Studios to DJ one of our Wedding Events and he definitely exceeded expectations. He has a deep passion for his craft and it shows with his technical skills/ knowledge with DJ Music on the Dance Floor to keep guests entertained. Also a true professional to work with as he delivers exceptional service by having open/prompt communication, being detail oriented, and always keeping a positive vibe.
I highly recommend Mike/ 949 Studios to help create your event to be extraordinary. More...

I have nothing but great things to say about 949 Studio. Michael and Tiffany were amazing as our wedding DJ and MC. The preparation and lead up to our wedding was very thorough and seamless- they made sure to guide us through what they needed from us. They really pay attention to all the details and we were thrilled with the results. Loved that they also gave us the flexibility to pick out our own music and they worked magic to mix them into their set. We really felt like the music and their setup were customized for our wedding, which made it really special. Amazing experience working with them and would highly recommend!! More...

Oh man! 949 Studios gave us the BEST NIGHT EVER!!!!!!!!! We had them MC/DJ our entire wedding last week and man, they are amazing and everyone had the best time.
Their timing, organization and understanding of our vision was so on point. We even had an event coordinator who left much to be desired, but just as I began to feel disappointed in her work, Michael and his team stepped in to provide guidance and advice where needed. Going above and beyond what we expected.

We appreciate you guys so much and are searching for another excuse to throw an epic party and get you guys back on the scene.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! More...
