    Thanks DJ Michael!

    Thank you Michael! You were easy to work with, provided the right tunes for the vibe, brought all the needed equipment, and easily pivoted and adapted to keep the music pumping even when our internet went down for several hours. You helped our Grand Opening to be the most fun and memorable event possible, thank you!

    M.R.K.Entertainment's reply:

    Thanks Janet. It was a pleasure to work with such a reputable company. You have some amazing staff with great recommendations.

    Michael was fantastic to work with and did an incredible job with our wedding!

    We HIGHLY recommend Michael for his wedding DJ services.

    What initially drew us to his wedding package was the comprehensive nature of his offerings, all for one package price. This included everything from a drone (though we couldn’t use it due to rain… bummer), GoPro video from the day from various angles, fun lighting for the reception, and projection and recording of our vows, among other things. We loved that he offered some complimentary video services especially since we did not have a videographer.

    From our initial meeting, Michael made us feel comfortable and made the planning process super easy. The app that he uses to capture all of the information and song selections was easy and intuitive to use, allowing us to add details and songs throughout the the planning process.

    Michael was super flexible with the ceremony arrangements, accommodating our decision to hold the ceremony outside even though it was drizzling. He kept everyone MOVIN’ & GROOVIN’ on the dance floor, and many guests commented that it was the most fun wedding they had ever been to. He even let me (the bride) mix a song as the DJ, and even though I had no idea what I was doing, it made for some fun and memorable photos.

    We opted to rent his photo booth (which was an additional fee outside of his package… but SO worth it!), and it was a huge hit with our guests. The props he brought were unique and fun, and there was a line at the photo booth for most of the evening because everyone wanted in on the action.

    Michael really knocked it out of the park for us, and we were thrilled with how everything turned out. We highly recommend him for DJ services!

    Incredible DJ Experience

    Michael provided his DJ services for our wedding recently and I have to say there was not a thing I would have changed with the whole event. Everything came out absolutely fantastic and created an energized atmosphere that had the dance floor absolutely packed straight until our reception concluded at 11pm.

    On top of the phenomenal DJ skills Michael has, his insight and help planning the various elements of the event and knowledge pertaining to the overall presentation and transition of each segment of the night was invaluable.

    I cannot recommend Michael and his services enough; his contributions helped make our wedding a legendary success that our family will be talking about for many years to come.

    M.R.K.Entertainment's reply:

    Thanks, Jon & D. What a wonderful party-rocking family. I love throwing bangers and getting a crowd raging on the floor. Staring whimsical and romantic and flipping to a party rocker dancefloor gets everyone involved. Thanks to your cousin for firing that CO2 Gun and snapping some pics.

    Best DJ Ever

    If there was an option to select 6 stars I would! Michael was far and away the best vendor we had at our wedding in terms of quality and value. He did a phenomenal job on every component of our wedding from music, to lighting, to providing photos and videos with a number of go pros. If you’re debating using a different DJ for your event you should stop because there is literally no way they can be better than M.R.K.E!

    M.R.K.Entertainment's reply:

    Thanks, Chris! It was a great time and a super cool location. Fantastic family and supportive friends. It was a pleasure to assist you and your family. Congratulations again to you and Maeve! Michael

    best wedding DJ

    Mike was amazing. He had our dance floor packed all night. His online software for planning purposes was user-friendly and allowed me to visualize exactly what the day would look like. I even shared his timeline with our coordinator and photographer and they used it as well. From start to finish his expertise was incredible and 100% made our day perfect. At the ceremony he attached his own microphones to both my officiant as well as my husband. There was not one guests that couldn't hear the ceremony. For our reception, he exceeded my expectations. Not only did his playlists and DJ skills come to full fruition- he set up a photo booth both at cocktail hour and the reception room that I saw guests using all night. Additionally, when he says he is good with lighting- he is not kidding. He utilized uplighting, dance floor lighting and everything in between that photographed beautifully and totally enhanced our party. He even independently created a dance floor monogram with our names on it which was beautiful. I recommend Mike for any function without hesitation. Get him before he's gone

    Top Notch Full Package DJ!

    For a full service, top notch and reasonably priced DJ experience look no further! From the moment we spoke to DJ Michael from MRK entertainment we knew we wanted to work with him. He was personable, experienced, and truly focuses on your event first and foremost rather than having multiple events back to back. He provided a true DJ service, uplighting, photo-booth, and wedding games all for one price! We had multiple meetings with Michael where we were able to design the exact experience we wanted. We had requested Arabic, English and Spanish music and Michael was able to get everything in time for the wedding. I was especially impressed when he was talking about going as far as purchasing physical copies of the music in order to have the proper quality available. Everything was perfect on the wedding day and we could not have asked for a better experience. Do yourself a favor and go with DJ Michael with MRK entertainment for your wedding. You will not regret it!

    M.R.K.Entertainment's reply:

    So many thanks for the opportunity to make your day exactly as you wanted. Everything looked amazing and you have an amazing family and friends. Congratulations

    Professional, Experienced, Personable

    Michael was absolutely incredible, he was attentive, knowledgeable, and excited about the work making our wedding feel so special. His services included so much more than just music. His experience and professionalism can provide a personal touch for every single guest at the event. He truly went above and beyond to make sure that every detail was covered in advanced and was always extremely easy to reach before hand so that there was absolutely no stress. We couldn’t reccommend him enough.

    Wedding 2019

    Michael was AMAZING!!! He kept our dance floor packed all night long and there wasn’t a single person who didn’t comment on how great our DJ was after the wedding was over. There was a point where we got behind schedule at the reception, and Michael got us back on track with the timeline quickly and professionally. They say a DJ makes a wedding and Michael made our special day perfect!!!

    10/10 Highly Recommend!

    DJ Michael is absolutely fantastic! Could not have had a better experience for our wedding. His attention to detail, knowledge, planning, professionalism, and dedication are incredibly impressive. Michael was also extremely generous with his time and services offering things we did not expect. If I could give him seven stars I would. Michael, thank you for making our special day that much more special. You are the best!

    DJ Michael was fantastic!!

    I am beyond impressed by Michael. I was uncertain about having a DJ for wedding because I didn’t want a cheesy or a club feel for our wedding. Most of our family aren’t dancers and we were looking for easy listening as we enjoyed the water views, food and great company at our reception. I am so happy with our decision and Michael went above and beyond with his level of service to tailor to our needs. He was even willing to meet our last minute planning needs.

    Amazing DJ

    Michael is amazing!!! He had our dance floor packed ALL night long. He made our night so special and magical. If you are in search for a super special DJ to make your special day day perfect, he is your guy. His music selection is great for all ages. Our age group ranged from 80 to 21 and everyone was dancing the whole night long!!!

He played live guitar for a long while which everyone loved. Extremely affordable, yet everything we wanted and more! Thank you so much Tim!!

    Tim Eisenhart was our DJ, and he was fantastic. Tim handled the music during the ceremony, and then played live music outside during our cocktail hour, which was beautiful. During the reception, Tim acted as announcer and DJ. Tim really got our guests energized and on the dance floor the entire night. Throughout the whole process, Tim was friendly and professional. Additionally, while our guests were completely unaware, we were texting with Tim to make some last minute changes to the schedule which he handled with ease. MRK Entertainment also makes the whole process very easy for you because they have an online portal where you can plan the music for the entire day. They even offer song recommendations!

    Michael was so easy and great to work with! He knew exactly what we wanted and delivered it flawlessly. He was so easy to communicate with and his music selection was perfect for our event! Planning an event has many steps, and it was refreshing not having to worry about the music aspect because Michael had it all taken care of!

    What a wonderful experience. We had a low key wedding of "only" around 75 guest, with a mix of ages from 3 to 80s+. We did not come in with a set list of music, and our taste are all over the board. We were able to give some examples of songs we liked and he captured that in a mix of songs that we recognized and appreciated on our busy day. At the same time he was able to fit in some request from the teens there, so everyone hit the dance floor at one time or another and had a great time. The emo 12 and 13 year olds even commented to their parents that the wedding was "not that bad". Not sure there is a better endorsement than that!

    The lighting was just right for our event. Being a more casual event, there was some LED lighting that highlighted the location we chose. He had some fun dance floor lighting, without being over-bearing.

    Not only was the music superb, but he helped keep us on track for our schedule as well. He was completely and wholly invested in making our day the best possible and the casual seriousness with which he applied his services to our day made our wedding that much more enjoyable.

    I would recommend him to anyone!

    Michael was responsive, engaged, and truly "got us" as a couple. He completely understood what we envisioned for our wedding and didn't try to upsell our low key style on any additional packages or lighting that we weren't interested in. He truly knows his stuff, has been in the business for a long time and can help you out if you are feeling overwhelmed with all of the music options and choices you have to make. On top being truly wonderful at what he does, he's a great guy that we enjoyed spending time with and getting to know! Can't beat that.

    Absolutely amazing!! Everything could not have gone better on our day! Incredibly flexible, understanding, and willing to do just about anything we asked for! If we had an idea or a question, we had an answer almost instantly and they made everything happen. Tim was so much fun to work with and knows how to keep the party going - including some impromptu karaoke from the groomsmen! We honestly can't thank him or M.R.K. Entertainment enough! Best bang for your buck around!

    Dj Adrian Matos was so amazing! Both him and Michael had everything under control for us. We didn't really know what we wanted or what to do even as far as a time line goes and what to expect. They helped us plan everything out and gave us the best suggestions. Everything was amazing. DJ Adrian had the dance floor filled the ENTIRE TIME. Everyone was freaking out about how great of a party it was. He was even able to deal with some unruly groomsmen and keep the party going. Thank you so much

    Michael and MRK Entertainment was without a doubt one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.
    Michael is fun and professional and took the time to understand who was attending the wedding (# people and average age and music do's/don'ts). He wanted to ensure there was something pleasing for everyone to hear and enjoy.
    As a bride who planned everything (husband provide some guidance, of course), I had the best of intentions to have song organized lists. Yrah, right! Lol. But right until the last minute when we were questioning song choices and even when I was having general bride anxiety, Michael turned to me and said "it's all going to be ok. If something doesn't go as planned, nobody will know but you."
    The point I'm trying to make is that his years of experience make him more than just a fantastic, fun, DJ and entertainer. He brings professionalism, kindness and a feeling of friendship. We recommend him any chance we get.

    We had DJ Tim for our wedding and we simply cannot say enough about how amazing the whole experience was from beginning to end. As soon as we met we knew he would be a perfect fit for our big day. He took the time to meet with us beforehand to go over the specifics of what we wanted. He played the guitar for our procession, first dance, and while the guests were eating dinner. He kept the dance floor full all night with our selection as well as all the wedding classics. Our friends and family all raved about how good it was to have a blend of live music in addition to recorded music. He gave us the personal touch we were looking for in our wedding DJ. Thank you Tim!

    If we could give DJ Michael more than 5 stars, we would! We were working with a tight budget and planning from long-distance, and DJ Michael was right with us the whole way, eliminating so much of typical wedding planning stress. He went above and beyond to make our day so incredible. Throughout the entire process, DJ Michael was professional, available when we needed him, and knowledgeable about so many aspects of wedding planning. The day-of, DJ Michael’s attention to detail, personality, and professionalism shone through every step of the way. Not only did he provide amazing music and sound, he noticed things like people hadn’t noticed the guestbook and directed the guests to sign it. He took our vision for the wedding and created the exact atmosphere we were looking for, and turned the barn venue into a dance club. We were so impressed with DJ Michael and would recommend him to anyone in search of a DJ.

    DJ Michael really went above and beyond with his knowledge and service during our planing process. His expertise with the sound system and what was needed for our crowd size was spot on! Our reception was around 100 people, so he suggested the right system for us, but has bigger or smaller systems to fit each group. He had backup plans for every situation that could go wrong. (song lists, speakers, etc.) He was flexible with our request, had lots of helpful advise for the flow of events, and had our guest dancing throughout the night!
