I was at Blue Sky Barn last night. It’s been a few years since I played there.

Looking down at the crowd, I got a bit emotional. I saw people smiling. They were happy. The music was creating a level of energy that caused this in them.

Not every wedding has extreme energy like this wedding had. But… I felt empowered that I have the opportunity to do something I love so much and provide and opportunity for that happiness and smiles in other people.

I’ve been doing this a very long time. It seems every weekend I find a new love for being DJ Mikey!!

Music: there is so much out there to choose from.

Some is wild, some is fun. Some makes you cry, some makes you drive over the speed limit. Some brings back a memory both good and bad.

Music takes you back to wherever you want to be taken.

I play at a lot of different venues. Some venues are good, while others are great.

The The Rut Hut in Ga***rd is absolutely fantastic. Bob and Ronda are two of the greatest people you will ever encounter.

I want to publicly thank them for their kindness to me
Over the years. I appreciate their referrals and always being so kind and friendly.

If you’re getting married and looking for a venue, that is the place to go.

What an INCREDIBLE weekend.

Was the DJ for the Northwest Michigan Fair 4H kids… then their parents. The adults wanted to party all night long!! What a great time.

Saturday Heather was at The Mission Table in Traverse City.

I travelled to Mio to do one of the most intimate weddings I think I’ve ever done. The rain was looking like it was gonna hit us during the ceremony. The bride and groom wanted to include some worship during the ceremony. When that portion began the clouds disappeared and the sun came out. When worship concluded the clouds immediately returned.

Sydni and Joss are a beautiful couple and I wish them the absolute best in life

🎧 So grateful for the beat that fuels my soul! Being a DJ isn't just a passion, it's a way of life. From playing the perfect song to feeling the energy of the crowd, there's nothing quite like it. Music isn't just what I play, it's who I am. 🎶✨

“Realize Your Vibe”

With DJ Mikey!

03/19/2024

What are you looking for in a DJ?

Once you begin planning your wedding and get to the entertainment portion do you truly know what you want?

“We want someone fun!”
“We want good music”
“We need a DJ and MC”

These are common things people say.

Let’s start with the first one. What is YOUR definition of “fun”? To some it may be a raver party with shirtless groomsmen and their ties wrapped around their forehead. While others may want a more chill vibe. Or a combination of both!!

What is your definition of “good” music? Many times couples don’t know what this means. To some it means music they and their friends like. While others want the dance floor packed. Truthfully, those two comments don’t always match.

Lastly, this is a pet peeve of mine. The DJ and the MC should be the SAME person. There are companies that charge you for the guy talking. In a festival setting, yes they’re different. For a wedding, the DJ should make all the announcements, keep the flow of the night going AND play the music.

My goal is simple. I do what I’m good at… put feet on the dance floor. No fluff… just fun. I won’t oversell you things you don’t need. I sell the most valuable thing I have and that is ME and my years of feet on the dance floor.

But….. did you know that you don’t have to have a full night of nonstop dancing? Lawn games and other outdoor activities are very popular. For a portion of the night, you can have fun background music until the sun sets then kick up the energy.

This is all about YOU and your vision for a perfect wedding.

What is your vision?

Let me know if you’d like to learn more about me.

Last night, a student came up to me and asked if he could DJ. He and all his buddies came up in a big group. I think it was meant as a joke.

However….

I said, “heck yeah!!”

Gave him a quick 30 second lesson, announced him to the kids… who all went nuts and let him DJ for about 15 minutes. He started scratching and tried to beat mix. (Didn’t do so well at that but it was fun!)

He asked if I got paid to do this. I said yes.

He said, “this is awesome!! I want to be a DJ!!”

I hope I gave someone the same inspiration I got at that age. Ya just never know!!!
