Expressions Of Music (Event Host DJ & MC)

Even the most unlikely people kept raving about the quality of DJ Michael Hale--people who are not into partying, or loud music! Michael made sure that everything was running smoothly at the reception, so he wasn’t just in charge of the music. From when cocktails ended to the cake cutting to the speeches to ensuring people lined up in time for meals--he took care of it all. It was such a blessing to have someone take care of all of that. Of course the music was great--we asked for a good mix of all time hits--from the 50s all the way to today and he delivered! Even our grandmothers were impressed at the selection, so he made sure to cater to every age group, and it wasn’t boring for any of the others. He brought inflatable toys and lights, which were a nice addition, and had unique games for us to play when we wanted a break from the dancing. Definitely recommend if you want more than just a DJ and more than just the usual dancing and events at your reception.

Mike is more than a DJ, he cares about the success of your wedding to every last detail and is the best DJ we could have possibly had that night! We will remember his services for the rest of our lives!

Michael was an absolutely phenomenal DJ. We’ll show how he acted before and after the wedding/reception. We hope it is helpful!

Before the wedding:
Before the wedding Michael was exceptionally good at communicating with us: e-mailing back and forth, responding quickly. He met with us and came extremely prepared, writing down tons of details so that we were 100% ready for the night. He recommended some things for the reception that ended up being a hit at the reception. He importantly initiated and got in touch with our wedding coordinator and photographers in order that the night and pictures might go smoothly. He also got a very detailed asking what type of music we wanted, yet also was able to provide excellent help when we really didn't know what type of music would be good in certain reception situations. He was very respectful to both of us and understood it was our day. After all this, we were extremely confident before the wedding that it would go smoothly and well thanks to his preparation. And with all the stress that goes into a wedding, it was extremely nice to have complete confidence in Michael our DJ and, therefore, in the reception.

During the reception:
He came through just as we expected perfectly. Everything went smoothly, people loved it. He talked over the microphone a perfect amount; emceeing well, directing the night. He was very kind to us at the reception and often came to us asking if we were okay or needed anything. He played great music and directed dances.

As a result, overall he was excellent. We couldn't have asked for anyone better. We don't understand how people can hire DJ's that barely communicate with them, or go with companies that don't tell you who the DJ will be until the day of the reception! That's crazy. Michael was not that at all--he was the complete opposite. We were very thankful to have had him as the DJ of our reception.

(Thanks Michael!)

Mike was amazing!!! Very helpful, informative, and professional! He played everything we requested and had great suggestions.

I would strongly commend Michael to anyone. He made it fun even in the planning stages. The right DJ makes the wedding

Expressions of Music is an amazing DJ. He did our wedding almost 2 years ago, then recommended him for my sisters wedding last May, and then recommended him again for my brothers wedding this past weekend. He is absolutely great and is willing to do anything to make the big day a success! He is basically a part of our family after all the events we have been able to use him for.

Mike Hale at Expressions of Music was really great to work with. He was responsive to many emails, fielding many questions and concerns. He took time to meet with us in person as well as over the phone to go over details and timelines of the wedding. The only thing that I did not like was that he didn't seem to stick to the playlist. He played songs that weren't on the playlist and songs that I really wanted to hear, they weren't played.
Overall, Mike was great to work with. He interacted well with the guests and livened things up. The older guests were happy that there was a variety of music played. He even brought props that were alot of fun! I would definitely recommend him to others.

This man did our wedding on his wedding anniversary. He and his lovely wife traveled from Nashville to Gatlinburg to DJ/MC and coordinate our wedding reception. We were truly blessed by their presence.
There was a huge family issue a couple hours before the wedding and we had to rearrange a few things right before the wedding and ended up being an hour late for the wedding. He took control and put me at ease when I thought I was going to fall apart.
He was creative and energetic. He took request and played games. He kidded around when things were a bit tense and put everything at ease and made it so enjoyable for us and our guest.
It was an honor to have him at our wedding reception and I would recommend him to anyone anywhere. The best DJ ever!!! And then...

Michael Hale made our reception. He kept the guests entertained in creative ways, played music to keep people on the dance floor, took unexpected turns in stride, and brought fun props. He even gave us sparklers to use for our exit when we couldn't find any. He took so much time prior to the wedding to ensure he knew exactly what we wanted and made sure we got it. We are still getting compliments from our guests. We couldn't have asked for more.

My husband and I were both very grateful to have Michael as our DJ. He did an amazing job and impressed not only my husband and I, but also our guests. He made our reception very organized and also entertaining. Michael is a great individual and is fantastic at his profession. Thanks again Michael for all you do! If we are ever planning another event where we need some "jammin' tunes" you will be the first we call!

The BEST option for a DJ!!

Michael Hale is so incredibly professional, personable, creative and fun! He MADE our wedding. He was full of ideas - good ones - that made our ceremony and reception so unique, but also listened to what we wanted and made sure to follow through. He fixed problems that weren't his problem to even fix. He made sure everything ran smoothly. He was really the wedding day coordinator on top of being our DJ. I absolutely cannot say enough good things about Michael - HIRE...

Michael did a great job engaging the audience and he played the perfect music to get everyone up and dancing! We had a wonderful night and we appreciate everything he did to make our night special!

Michael was great! He made our wedding such a blast, and got the party going! Very flexible and catered to our style. Our families and wedding party enjoyed working with him! He worked well with all of our other vendors and helped to coordinate the day so that my husband and I could be worry free and enjoy the day!

You were a great DJ! Everyone had a fantastic time! You really kept the party going. I don't think my wedding party wanted to get off the dance floor and that goes for me and Dustin too! Thank you for everything.

Michael is amazing!!! He is so much fun and very professional. My guests loved him!!
