    Thank you Better Music Services!! We cannot say enough wonderful things about Mick! Other than being a great person, he was very professional and quick to reply to any questions we had. He gave us a lot of suggestions and really knew what would keep the party going! He kept everyone on the dance floor and catered to both English and Spanish music lovers. My husband and I loved working with him and we would definitely recommend Better Music Services for your big event!

    Mick was our DJ for our wedding on April 25, 2015. All I can say is WOW! We shopped around quite a bit before finding Mick and his team. My husband and I were shocked at what so many DJs charge for their services. Mick's price quote almost seemed too good to be true. We met with them briefly before retaining their services and we were instantly impressed with their personalities, professionalism and humor! Mick did a phenomenal job from start to finish! He and Jay were on time, set up everything we needed for both the ceremony and reception and most importantly, they were fantastic at getting our guests up and out of their seats! I had about maybe 10 "must play" songs and the rest I left up to Mick. He did such a fantastic job at reading the crowd and picking songs we all would enjoy, and he made sure to weave some humorous remarks throughout the evening. I would HIGHLY recommend Mick and Better Music Services for all your DJ/Sound needs! You won't regret it!

    Mick at Better Music Services is amazing! When I emailed them to inquire about rates, he was the only one of several DJs that I contacted who actually called up my venue to see what my wedding was going to be like and how he could best entertain at it. Also, Better Music Services was the only DJ service I found that gave me both a DJ and an emcee, and the best emcee at that! His prices are very reasonable for the high quality services that he and his team provide. Uplighting is included which provided a beautiful atmosphere for the wedding. I gave Mick very little input on what we needed music-wise, just a list of the important songs to play along with some of the artists that we like to give him an idea of our musical taste. He took it from there, and everybody loved everything! His selections fit us and our party perfectly with very little direction. Throughout the wedding reception, he kept checking in with us and making sure that we were ready to do toasts, cut cake, ect. He would tell us what was going to happen next and who would speak in what order. He expertly was able to judge the room and help direct the flow of the evening perfectly. The high level of service was a big part of our amazing wedding reception. I would recommend all brides use Better Music Services for their big day!

    I was very impressed with the services provided by Better Music. Mick was very quick to respond to my emails/phone calls and so flexible when I needed to make changes. He and Peter really made sure my guests had a blast on the dance floor! He also provided my lighting, which turned out beautiful. Mick was so great at making sure this was a special day for us! I loved that he keeps up with today's technology in providing wireless microphones, and contacted other vendors he needed to work with to ensure that our day was flawless. Mick is very professional and easy to work with. I'd definitely recommend him for your DJ/MC or lighting.

    For our wedding we recently had Better Music Services serve as our DJ's. They were a pleasure to deal with, as we were running around trying to deal with all of our vendors and our venue. Mick and Peter met us well before our wedding to go over basic ground rules of likes and dislikes. This was incredibly helpful for both of us as we were able to plan for our speed of wedding. In the months leading up to the wedding we slowly built a running spreadsheet of music that match the styles/cultures of myself (Persian) and my Husband (American/Hispanic). We also laid out for them the music for our ceremony. The whole experience working with Mick and Peter was great as Mick served as the MC of the event and balanced perfectly the amount and length of announcements as well as following the vibe of our wedding and its guests. The ultimate compliment that I could give Better Music Services is that throughout our wedding they were able to keep everyone on the dance floor and go back and forth between Persian music and more traditional American/Pop music. This led to an unforgettable night that not only we will treasure forever, but all of our guests as well!

    If not for Mick and Peter, my guests would not have been able to hear my wedding ceremony! The ceremony was at 4, and Mick & Peter were supposed to start at 6. I am so glad that they were there very early to set up, because the microphone we were going to use in the ceremony was awful (that's what I get for asking a friend to bring one instead of paying to rent one). Thankfully, Mick was there to loan us his. This alone warrants a 5-star rating in my book, but it gets better. The music was awesome - they really brought the house down! My guests were up and dancing all night long. Mick really knows how to read a crowd and play music that keeps people entertained. I was having so much fun that I almost forgot about the cake cutting ceremony. Thankfully, Mick reminded us. Many of my guests said it was the most fun they have ever had at a wedding, and Mich & Peter were a huge part of that. Also, Mick was very easy to work with. We exchanged many emails before the big day, and he answered all of my questions without making me feel like I was being a Bridezilla. His prices are competitive and worth every penny. I recommend them highly!

    Finding a DJ was a piece of cake with Mick. Mick was willing to work with us overseas, with our budget and was incredibly patient (planning a wedding overseas, I was very scattered!)! He was willing to work with our schedule and little requests and even helped shape some of the schedule where I had missed things. He gave great suggestions and was very helpful!!! He also handled last minute changes with ease.

    Everyone commented on how he had the perfect playlist for our group (german, english, irish and americans!) and all ages. Everyone from 5 to 90 was dancing. We had a small wedding so I was worried the dance floor would look bear and Mick did a great job of gauging the mood and changing the music to get people moving. He kept us on schedule and having fun.

    It was a joy talking to Mick during the wedding and after, he was so much fun.

    Everyone says that finding a DJ for your wedding is the hardest thing to do and it couldn’t be truer. From the start, I knew that the DJ was going to be the most important part of our reception. I must have contacted over 20 DJs and filtered them out after emails and face to face meetings. Most were too corny or too pushy.

    Then I spoke to Mick from Better Music Services. He had the experience, the personality and the knowledge that every DJ should have (but doesn’t). He really tried to get to know me and my husband as opposed to pressuring me to book him. Plus, you can’t beat his prices! He gives you more for your money and is willing to work with you to plan a timeline for your reception. He offers suggestions but always leaves the decisions up to you.

    On our wedding day, Mick was everything I could have hoped for and more! He helped the flow of the reception with the music he played. His song choices were so good, we had to tweak our timeline because our guests were dying to dance! During our meal, people were turning to me and my husband telling us how wonderful our DJ is.

    Even though I only had around 60 guests, the dance floor was never empty. Everyone from my 2 year old niece to my 84 year old great aunt made it on the dance floor! The music was at the perfect volume so people could still speak to each other without having to shout. Mick also had to cater to a Mexican, American and English crowd which he did flawlessly.

    Whenever I speak to someone who was at my wedding, they always comment on how amazing our DJ was. I was at a wedding in London and a guest that was at my wedding said ‘I still can’t stop raving about your DJ.’ The fact that my wedding was 3 months ago and our guests are still talking about him, says a lot!

    Save time and book Mick from Better Music Services. It will be the best and easiest decision you will make!

    Mick was an awesome DJ at my wedding at Il Cielo. I had never met Mick in person until my actually wedding as my husband and I live outside of the country, but honestly he was so great there was no need. Planning a wedding from afar was difficult, but Mick was so great on our phone calls and he played the exact type of music my husband and I asked for and more. He took requests from the guests and played great music from the start to finish that the dance floor was full even before dinner was served. Mick isn't the cheesy DJ at all, he doesn't take over the show with jokes and cheesy dance songs, but he stays quite hidden so people don't even see him. My guests kept commenting how great my DJ was, and I would honestly use him again and recommend him to anyone.

    Mick was great. He even suggested a great instrumental version of In My Life to use for my processional music during the ceremony. He and his assistant kept things moving and kept the dance floor full all night. His pricing is reasonable too. I would recommend.

    I have so many wonderful things to say about what Mick did for us at our wedding. We truly had no idea how important a DJ really is at a wedding. He ran everything so smoothly and ensured that the music was perfect at each moment. Everyone had such a wonderful time. The music he played was perfect at every moment. We can't wait to have another party so that he can come DJ for us.

    Mick at Better Music Services was awesome. When I asked for a quote, he was forthright and honest about what goes into his pricing. When we negotiated, he matched the price of another DJ we almost went with. Our venue (La Canada Thursday Club) recommended him, and when your venue recommends a vendor, it's for good reasons. He knew the space and how to set-up in it. He worked well with the coordinator. When pre-ceremony time and cocktail hour ran long, he improvised based on the music list we had already given him, which was great given the circumstances. He played much of our must-play list. However, some of our list did not get played during the reception dance party –– we assume it's because he didn't have them, so we took half a star for not that. (TIP: if you are an indie weirdo and like non-mainstream stuff, try giving BMS the actual music files.) Nonetheless, in the moment of the evening it was a blast and everyone was dancing the whole time. It was awesome and the photos prove it.

    Mick at Better Music Services was great! We had 2 DJ's at our reception which was awesome! I had a pretty specific song list (control freak!) and Mick played all of them! I even changed it a few times and he kept rolling with the punches. I also had a "don't play" list and when one of our guests asked for a song that happened to be on that list, Mick said no! I had told him to honor any requests, but he knew that this one shouldn't be played. He was very polite and simply told our guest that I (the bride) had requested that song not be played. I love that he did that. He sounds stoned when you talk to him, but I think that's just his voice. Trust me, this cat is on the ball!

    Mick was great, we used him because another of our friends used him at their wedding. Totally helped me set up the order of what was going to happen after the ceremony, the first dance, the father-daughter dance etc. We thought he was completely worth it.

    At my wedding, music was super important. My coordinator recommended Mick and I am super grateful for it. He was easygoing, fun to work with, and gave me a fabulous deal on DJ services for set up, and sound system. I had a daytime wedding and people were still dancing like crazy and I could not have been more pleased.

    Mick was fantastic during all the planning up to the wedding. He was very meticulous about creating the right atmosphere that we wanted for our wedding. He also really seemed to enjoy the fact that my husband was going to write the ceremony music and discussed with him, in detail, about how it would play out.

    During the wedding (which took place in 3 locations) he was careful to balance the music to set the correct ambiance in each place. Also he was very friendly with our guests when they would request songs.

    The only mark against him, which seems like it was a technical error was the song for Bride's Entrance to the ceremony. Knowing how hard my husband worked on writing the music cue I was heart broken for him when I walked up in the aisle in silence. The cue started too early and wasn't long enough and instead of looping the entire song, like he told my husband he would do, he looped the last note several times and then just faded the song out... this is before I approached the aisle. In our wedding video all our guests heads were turned and they were whispering to each other about their being something wrong with the music. Again, it was probably a technical error but it was the one cue you really want to make sure happens right. The rest of the wedding was flawless...
