Music Man Entertainment

Mike is much more than a DJ. He coordinated our day of celebration with finesse! His professoonalism is exemplary and his talent and expertise allowed us to be stress-free all day. He created a perfect dance mix for my family and friends. All day we kept receiving endless comments about how great our DJ was! I highly recommend Mike!

My expectations for my wedding day were high and you exceeded them x 10. I had such a wonderful night! You got everyone dancing, up and moving! If I needed ANYTHING you were always there. I enjoyed the planning process wih you and I am so honored you were able to DJ at our wedding. You deserve 10*'s but they don't go that high! Thank you for everything.

The music man made my wedding! He kept everyone on the dance floor! He is absolutely amazing!

I would highly recommend Mike from Music Man Entertainment for anybody getting married. I live out of state and Mike and I planned everything over the phone. Mike was very easy to get in touch with and when I did need to leave a voicemail he was very prompt about getting back to me. Mike is very personable and very accommodating. I had the idea of incorporating a slideshow into our bridal party introductions (I didn't get the slideshow done, so it didn't happen!) and he was one of the only DJs that said it wouldn't be a problem and it was something he could do. My husband and I had a lot of young people at our wedding and we wanted everyone on the dance floor. Mike made it happen and it was high energy until 12 p.m.!! Mike is awesome and I would highly recommend hiring him!

We would highly recommend Mike (Music Man Entertainment) to anyone & everyone who is getting married! He was absolutely amazing and made our wedding so much fun! The dance floor was packed until the end of the night and no one wanted the music to stop! Mike is sooo professional, fun, personable and was so helpful throughout the wedding planning process. He was very prompt with answering emails/voicemails and really knows his stuff! Thank you Mike for everything- you are the BEST!

Mike was great! He is very professional and really knows how to keep the dance floor packed! A month later and our guests are still talking about how great of a time they had dancing and having fun! I totally recommend Music Man Entertainment to all future brides!

Music Man Entertainment -- DJ Mike Garrasi -- was simply awesome, awesome, AWESOME! A colleague had referred me to Mike (who DJ'd at my colleague's wedding) and I hit it off with him from the very first telephone call. He listened to our preferences, the type of vibe we were seeking for our special day, he understood the ages and personalities of our guests, and put together an amazing set that really set the perfect tone for our day, from the ceremony to cocktail hour to reception....right down to the final dance. He was professional, responsive, helpful, and really helped keep my at ease in the months leading up to the wedding. I truly thank Mike and give him all the credit for making our wedding an amazing, and memorable, event for both my new husband and I, as well as our guests. We heard lots of people say it was one of the nicest weddings they've ever attended, and a few people commented that they "haven't danced like that in years!" The music and his MC'ing the special dances and announcements were spot-on. I would recommend him to all brides looking for the perfect DJ, and if I ever need a DJ in the future, I'll be calling Music Man Entertainment in a heartbeat! Thank you, Mike, for making our day so terrific!!!

Mike was awesome. Our guests had a blast with him. Any questions we had he was right there. If we were to do it all over again we would definitely have Mike again.

Mike was very professional. He was great at keeping people on the dance floor. Even though he is really busy he made every effort to make us feel us feel special and make sure all our needs were met and all our questions were answered. Couldn't have asked for more, highly recommended!

Music man was amazing...he was a pleasure to work with..he responded to my emails and phone calls within an hour. Mike was so helpful with picking out songs, he was so excited to DJ my wedding and he made the atmosphere at the wedding rock. My guest raved about him after the wedding and I am so happy we used Mike. I have nothing but great things to say about him and I would recommend him to anyone!

We had a few different ideas which were very important to us music wise. When we ran our ideas past Mike he was very receptive and used every idea we requested. Once at the wedding, Mike seemed to go out of his way to make sure all of our music requests were met. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and would recommend him to anyone!!!!! He was a huge part of making our wedding what it was.

Great job! Mike kept the party going, got most of our guests out on the dance floor. Our wedding day would not have been so perfect if we had a different DJ.

We would highly recommend. Everything was perfect.

All I have to say is that if you want to have an AMAZING wedding Mike Grassia is a definate must have for your wedding then. He was so easy to work with and really understood how my fiance and I wanted our big day to be. We gave him a short list of some of our favorite songs and he just filled in the gaps whit what he felt was going to give the wedding a nice flow and I couldn't have done better myself (and I am a perfectionist!!)My husband loves classic rock and although i do share his love of the classics, sometimes they are not appropriate for a wedding . But he insisted on having our cocktail hour all classic rock so mike picked out some great songs and threw in a few of my favorites and it was so perfect. All night long our guests danced. The dance floor was full from the minute we put our forks down to the very end of the night. So thank you Mike for a wonderful night I couldn't have asked for a better DJ!!!

I can't possibly list all of the ways Mike Garrasi was great. He was flexible, he was organized, he instantly understood our taste and music, and made our wedding unique to us and also incredibly fun for every single guest. The dance floor was full from the moment the dinner was finished to the last song.

I'd recommend him for anyone, especially young brides looking for an energetic, fun, non-cheesey (he didn't play "The Chicken Dance"-- and bless him for that) wedding.

Can't find enough words! He made our day so special. Smooth sailing, comfortable, so much fun and made me feel so at ease. He was confident and organized. Right on with everything I told him, the guests loved him. He MADE my wedding. ! Exactly how I pictured it. Highly recommend only him !!! I'd use him 4 every party. Your the best mike, so awesome to work with. Thank you ! Rebecca And Josh Harkins

Let me start by saying Mike is amazing. He is so full of energy, every time I talked to him was fun. Now let me back up. I got engaged 2 years before my actual wedding. We were also moving from NY to NC and I knew I wanted the wedding in NY so I wanted to have all the big things planned like the dj, the photographer, the venue, etc before we moved. Me and my mom went to a bridal show at longfellows were we met Mike. Now, I was also looking at another dj who also played guitar. We met with this guy and he was ok, and he kept going down in price so we would book him. Well I gave mike a call just for the heck of it and as soon as I said my name he was said, "ok Kara! I met you and your mom, Michele at the longfellows bridal show!!" well within 5 minutes of talking to him I knew I had to have him DJ our wedding. I told him I wanted a Christmas wedding and he just started listing all this music he could play and everything he suggested was perfect. He gave me a sheet to fill out with songs I wanted to play as our first dance, etc and I filled it out. Well about 6 months later I changed my mind and asked if I could redo it and within a few days I got a new sheet in the mail. About a week before the wedding he called me up since we were now in NC to make sure everything was all set. He went over how to pronounce people's names, how he would introduce people, etc. I also didn't want to walk to "here comes the bride" so he gave suggestions and even played me music over the phone. The wedding day was perfect. The music was perfect for all guests. Needless to say he got just about everyone out on the dance floor at some point and I know our bridesmaids and groomsmen had an amazing time dancing. If your looking for a dj that will make your wedding day perfect, look no further!!!

Mike was so great and kept everyone on the dance floor all night. He was so helpful in planning the order of events and answered all my questions so promptly. I would definitely recommend him for your DJ!

Could not have asked more from Mike, he was friendly, responsive, respectful, and did everything that was asked of him. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone!!!

Amazing job and a flawless night! Mike was extremely helpful and helped make our wedding perfect! Our guests were on the dance floor all night long. Thank you Mike!!!!

I as mother of the groom was very pleased with the way Mike performed at my son's wedding. He hosted the event rather than being the whole show as some DJ's I have witnessed at our friends childrens weddings. Mike knew how to read the guests, slow the music down for a bit and when people wanted to move he played a wide variety of music. Dinner was done well by easy listening music and we could easily talk with each other over the back ground music.
The planning sessions went well with Mike as my son and daughter-in-law were so impressed on the ease of conversing with Mike, choosing the selections and his willingness to offer advice when asked.
They also chose the uplighting and monogram from Mike and it was truly beautiful. Very well done. When my son told me they were going to use these effects I was so concerned that it would look cheap. What a surprise, the whole look added to the ambiance and beauty of the room.
Our guests ages ranged from 20 years old to 89 and everyone was happy and could not say enough about Mike's professionalism.
I am very grateful that Mike was the musical host at my son's wedding, as Mike added to the success of the night.
Mike is both a true professional but also must be a psycholgist as well since he could read our guests well amd made all ages very comfortable.
Mike also played at the wedding ceremony which surprised me as it truly sounded as though the ceremony was held in a cathedral. His whole sound system was the best I have ever heard at weddings. The day was more magical because of his flexibility, understanding and ability to read people well.

Angelina ( mother of the groom)

DJ Mike is probably the easiest vendor with whom you will ever work. He knows how to work a room, and is just always in the best mood ever. You can tell he loves what he does; he is passionate about DJ-ing. I spent time on the phone with another DJ who literally talked AT me rather than WITH me, and Mike was like a breath of fresh air. He performed the consultation at our house, and truly listened to what we wanted.

I would book him again for any event.

A corporate event planner may not think of having a DJ to cap off a long day of information download and/or training. I have planned and coordinated large scale corporate events for Blockbuster for 10 years now and I have to say that DJ Mike Garrasi of Music Man Entertainment exceeded all of my expectations and brought 160 Blockbuster employees to their feet after an extremely long day of travel and meetings. He was polite, courteous and extremely knowledgeable about pulling every request out of his bag of tricks. A good time was had by all and left a permanent memory of the best meeting ever thanks to Mike. I may be getting married this coming spring and would not hesitate to give him a call ... and think of none other than him for future events.
Sincerely,
Eric Tessel

Mike did an amazing job. I have worked in the wedding industry for several years and I have seen good and bad wedding DJs- Mike was excellent. I gave him a playlist of must play and do no play songs and he honored all my requests. He also did a great job of keeping with the timeline. Hi price was on par with other capital district DJs and his sound system was excellent. You will not be disapointed with him!

Mike Garrasi was awesome! Not only was he extremely easy to get a hold of throughout our planning process but his enthusiasm and passion for his profession was apparent. Out of all the details involved for our wedding day, the music was not something I worried about because Mike was reassuring and very organized. He also was accomomdating, fulfilled all our requests, and the day flowed flawlessly. I definitely recommend using Music Man!

We loved having Mike as a part of our awesome day! He was helpful and very nice! I loved the music and he is willing to do whatever you need. I will use him again anytime I need a DJ. Thanks Mike it was great working with you!!

Mike is the positive, professional, and laid back guy to work with. He made our wedding exceptional. Everyone was out of their seats the entire time! His ability to make special dedications flow was exceptional. We love him and he has become our friend! I would recommend him without reservation for any party, especially weddings! Thanks for making our night Mike! Wendy and Tony

Mike was absolutely wonderful from beginning to end in our 2 year wedding planning. He was more than happy to help throughout the planning process and work with any and all of our ideas and provided plenty of suggestions as well. Our entrances into the reception were flawless and he had the crowd dancing the whole night with great music selections. Mike is extremely professional and is truly a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend working with Music Man Entertainment...hands down!

My husband and I would like to say that mike was extremely flexable and very helpful in making suggestions. Mike is great at getting the dance party going on the floor. Mike has great people skills and interaction with the reception crowd. through out the night there was always people on the dance floor. I personally would recommend Mike for not just weddings but other partys as well.

DJ Mike was fabulous!! He was great to work with in the weeks and days leading up to our wedding, and he kept the dance floor packed all night! He also worked especially hard to get us a monogram gobo on very short notice--and it was perfect! We give DJ Mike/Music Man Entertainment our highest recommendation!

Mike Music Man Entertainment was more than a 5.0 out of 5.0 you was off the charts. Not only was he extremely responsive with emails or calls (NOT OVERBEARING AT ALL) but the most easy person to talk to. There were a couple times I was have issues picking my ceremony music as well as making sure I had all the correct information for the reception, we spoke for a good 10-15 minutes and he seriously saved me from a huge migraine. When it was finally "party time" the man can rock it! I told him that I had a dancing crowd and there were times that he kept playing hit after hit that I needed to step outside because I would have been know as the sweaty dancing queen bride.
I can't thank him enough for doing such AN awesome job!! I wish I could use him as my DJ every weekend.

My husband and I recently got married this past September and we had the pleasure of having Mike Garrasi as our DJ...all I can say is WOW! He was fantastic from the first consultation my mom & I had with him until after the wedding when he called to ask how our honeymoon was. We booked him based off a recommendation that he was one of the top wedding vendors in the area and he certainly delivered 5 star customer service all the way.

Planning a wedding from out of town was quite a challenge, but the phone meetings he arranged made it feel like we were sitting in the same room and had known each other for years. He even followed up with my mom on several occasions to keep her in the loop and include her in the process.

We had our reception at the Canfield Casino and on top of the awesome custom playlist that kept our wedding guests on their feet until the last call at the bar; he also had some fantastic lighting/monogram that enhanced the beauty of the Casino. He has a phenomenal energy that I have never encountered before which was very refreshing! The guests all commented on how fantastic he was and I highly recommend his services. Thank you for creating an amazing once in a lifetime party! Lindsay & Mark

Mike was amazing! Our wedding turned out beautifully and I know he had a lot to do with it. He knew exactly where to be, what to play and how to do it and he was extremely easy to work with! Thanks again Mike!!

Mike was really great. He had a sheet for us to fill out about the type of music that we would like to be played, we listed several specific songs that we wanted and he took over from there. It was a great mix of songs that everyone from ages 19-90 enjoyed.

everything was wonderful thank you so much!!

Mike was one of the most organized people we dealt with for our wedding. He was a pleasure to deal with and nailed all the key elements at the reception. Our guests loved him and I would suggest anyone in the Capital Region use him for their big day because for me, just the peace of mind knowing that we went with someone reliable allowed me to enjoy my night that much more.

Mike was amazing at our wedding which actually was last night. He was constantly making sure that everyone was having a good time and would update the music choice for the crowd, who was dancing ect. He was in constant contact with my husband and I before the date, during and even after to make sure all was perfect. He is the best DJ I have even experience and we were lucky enough to have him at our wedding. He made both our ceremony and reception run as a smooth transition and the music was amazing. We were so happy to have him as I know any bride would!!! He is amazing!

Mike was awesome! So friendly, always available for questions that came up, helpful with song selections, and overall great DJ. We never had to worry about a thing. Mike knew exactly the kind of music and songs we were looking for from just a few phone calls. The dance floor at our wedding was packed all night and we would not have had it any other way.

Matching lighting

Mike was so wonderful! We had some changes the day of and he was so accomodating to the changes. He gets the crowd going and is so great to work with. He is always there if you need anything.

Mike was incredible! He took time to speak with us and meet with us at any time/place that was convenient for our busy wedding schedule. We put our trust in him to throw a great party and he COMPLETELY delivered. He is professional yet fun, classy without being stuffy and takes any worry away from the Bride & groom on the big day - which is of huge importance when hiring professionals for your dream day.
Thank you Mike!

Mike is an amazing DJ to work with. Every time I had a question, concern or request he responded quickly and with the answers I needed. He will do everything that he can to ensure that you have the best day of your life. Which I know means a lot to all of the brides out there. We didn't need a "No Song" list because he would play what ever it takes to get the guests out of their seats. It was so much fun!!! I woud highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great DJ.

Music Man did an awesome job at my wedding! He was easy to work with, went above and beyond to play all our desired songs at our wedding, and made the reception flow. The dance floor was packed all night up to the very last song! I would highly recommend Mike to dj! We had an absolute blast at our wedding thanks to Mike!

Mike was great to work with. We live out of the state from where our wedding was occurring. He was quickly responsive and helpful. Would definitely recommend him and/or rehire him if we needed a dj.

Before you read any further….if you are thinking about hiring a DJ at your wedding, book early and do your best to get DJ Mike Garrasi!!!

We met Mike early on in our wedding planning and as you can imagine, we were pretty overwhelmed with all of the details that went into planning our big day. Mike returned our call immediately, and took the time right there and then to give some advice about selecting the music for the evening while explaining to us many of the aspects of planning the reception. We had so much fun talking and planning the music that we booked him right after our first time speaking. We just knew we clicked! He was a positive, fun, professional type of person that we were looking to work with at our wedding.

My husband and I love music so we were so happy to see how much he loves his work. Mike was so much fun to work with and had so many great ideas and suggestions about the music played throughout the evening. He made all the right choices, and that only comes from experience. Mike is so flexible! Minutes before the wedding party was to be announced, our two little flower girls decided that they wanted to be announced, too. Mike added them on without missing a beat!

During the reception, everyone was dancing and having a great time. The dance floor was packed all night and the music was amazing!!! The tables were empty because our wedding guests were dancing the entire night away.

We were extremely lucky to have Mike provide the music entertainment at our wedding and hope to remain friends for a long time. He is one of the nicest people we have ever met, and truly the best DJ you could ask for!

DJ Mike Garrasi was flexible, fun and knew exactly what music to play to get our guests up and dancing! We couldn't have asked for a better experience, thanks Mike!

Mike was amazing! He doesn't have a cheesy vibe at all, which to me was very important to find in a DJ. He was easy to work with, listened to what we wanted, and was very nice. Everything, from our ceremony to the party at the end of the night, went perfect. He played all the songs we asked for, added his own touches that complimented our list, and had great energy. I would very much recommend him for brides looking for a professional, classy, and very fun DJ.

Mike's the best! His creative ideas throughout the wedding planning process were a huge help and alleviated some of the stress that came with planning our wedding. His ability to read the crowd and choose the right music makes the whole night, and ensures a good time is had by all. His enthusiasm is contagious and sets the tone for the whole evening. We highly recommend Music Man Entertainment...it seriously made our wedding!!

It has been a pleasure working with Mike from beginning to end. He was very available through both phone and e-mail to answer any of my questions and to help pick out songs. He played an awesome selection throughout the night of various styles and eras. He had people on the dance floor for the entire night. We are very happy with Mike's services and would highly recommend him to anyone!

As soon as my husband and I got engaged, we both knew instantly that we had to have Mike Garrasi (Music Man Entertainment) as our DJ. Growing up in the same area, Mike has always had a terrific reputation. Once you speak to Mike, you'll see just how professional, organized, and amazing he is. Mike was very helpful throughout the entire planning process. He went out of his way to meet with us to ensure that everything on our wedding day was perfect. It was just that. Mike kept the party going from start to finish with people on the dance every minute! Mike works extremely hard and truly does a phenomenal job. If you are looking for a DJ that is fun, personable, professional, with strong attention to detail, call Mike Garassi! You won't be disappointed! :-)

Mike did an outstanding job for both our ceremony and reception. He played a large role in making our wedding perfect. It was exciting, entertaining and magical.

Mike was fantastic! We had a great time planning the music for our wedding and he was familiar with all of the songs we wanted to incorporate. We were completely confident that everything was taken care of and Mike would keep our guests dancing all night.

Mike was the best DJ. From cocktail hour to the last song of the night he played appropriate music meanwhile got everyone up out of their seats and dancing. It was a great night and he is so nice and helpful not only at the reception but in all the time leading up to it. He is a great man and a great DJ. I recommend him HIGHLY!

Mike was such a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Professional, flexible, kind. He also responded quickly to emails, and was very helpful with song selections and open to request. We had such a blast!!

Mike was amazing to say the least!!! i booked him after our first time speaking because i could just tell over the phone his vibe was exactly what we were looking for- and i was right!!!! He did the music for our ceremony/cocktail and of course reception and everyone kept telling me all night long how great of a dj he was. I had family on the dance floor that i never expected! Mikes personality mixed with his knowledge and love of music make for an amazing combination!!! i could not have imagine my wedding with any other dj, thank you so much mike for doing what you do!!! YOU ROCK!! :)

Mike was a wonderful DJ - the dance floor was full all night long. My husband and I love music and Mike was so early to work with and open to all our ideas and suggestions about the music played and the schedule for the evening. He really made everything flow smoothly throughout the ceremony and reception - worth every penny!!

Music Man Entertainment is everything we wanted and more for our wedding reception!

Mike was awesome! At first we were hesitant with getting a DJ. We thought we wanted a band, but after having mike do our wedding we couldnt be happier with our choice! He made the evening very special. He had everyone dancing and kept the energy all night! We will definitely suggest mike to everyone we know!

Mike is a wonderful man to work with. He has a great personality and is excellent with people. He didn't miss a beat with the personal requests and overcame all expectations!

Mike was an excellent DJ. Before the actual wedding he was very friendly, and approachable, often responding to emails within minutes. Our service required three different set ups and he had everything up and running perfectly well in time for the wedding. Even when we threw a last minute wrench in the plan, he adapted without complaint. The reception was amazing, and his music choices and lights made the night perfect. Throughout the night, he came to us about 15 minutes before each new activity (cake cutting, bouquet, etc.) so we wouldn't be caught off guard. We have already recommended him to several friends and hope to be at a wedding he is DJing soon. The only complaint we have is we never got to sit down because of his awesome playlist!

If anyone needs a DJ for their event, Mike Garrasi of Music Man Entertainment is the best! He works with you ahead of time so everything runs so smoothly. My daughter's reception was just perfect, there was a variety of music played so everyone was happy. He got people up and dancing that usually don't dance! No one wanted the entertainment to stop so we booked him for another hour - which he had no problem doing! He is a great guy with a great personality and makes sure EVERYONE has a great time! So, if you want to have a real FUN time, this DJ is the one you want!

Mike was everything that i could have asked for on my wedding day! He listened to what we wanted to have played and not played and did exactly that!

Loved that i did not have to give him and exact list of songs that i wanted to be played, planning everything else i really didnt have much time to spend doing that. So all we did was give him the few that we needed (like our first dance and thats it). So was so happy that all we had to do was one meeting with him to give him an idea what we were looking for and he did exactly that! The night was absolutly perfect, everyone had such a great time, we danced the night away!

I would Highly recomend Mike for your wedding!

We loved Mike!!! He was great, very willing to help us out with anything having to do with the wedding. He played great songs to get everybody up dancing, but no corny ones. We would definitely use him again and recommend him to everybody, and for any event!

Mike Garrasi DJ’ed our wedding in May and we were so very impressed with his amazing service. His service started way before the actually event and we were blown away by his attention to detail and how he walked us through every aspect of the wedding and reception including things we had not thought of. He was totally open to do what we wanted and he had a ton of great suggestion for us. We planned our wedding from 3000 mile away and it was very comforting having someone like Mike working for us. Our wedding day was perfect and a huge part of that was due to the hard work and skills of Music Man Entertainment. We really can’t say enough good things and you will not find a better DJ service anywhere.
David & Lindsay Coates

Mike was amazing throughout the entire planning process and the day of our wedding. Everything ran exceptionally smoothly, he coordinated everything with the caterers and checked with us before all the special events. He did a great job with keeping the party going and everyone had a great time! We would highly recommend Mike to anyone looking for an exceptional DJ and person! Thank you for everything!!!

Mike Garrasi was a pleasure to work with. If there were a scoring beyond the 5 stars it would be more than well deserved! He responded immediately to any questions or requests and directed the evening's entertainment with the utmost professionalism. I did not have to give this part of the wedding planning a second thought once we hired him. The dance floor was swinging all night!

Mike is a great guy. He’s just a nice person. He has great taste in music and a real sense of style. We had an unusual wedding in that it combined Persian, Italian/American and Irish /American traditions. Our guests included members from these as well as other ethnic groups and to make life interesting we are from out of town. We met with Mike , exchanged emails and did conference calls. Mike was great throughout the entire planning process. We asked him to do a somewhat subdued intro of the wedding party using a favorite family song with specific timing. He nailed it! But what was even more impressive was his pronunciation of all the Persian names. He had obviously taken the time and made the effort to prepare. Throughout the evening Mike combined music from a variety of genres which the guests responded to very favorably. He worked in some traditional Persian tunes which to our surprise everyone danced to. Though we planned to work these in occasionally, Mike sensing that these songs were working, went with them. The place was rocking, Persian-Style ! I can't say enough about Mike's contribution to the most important day in our daughter's life. As the father of the bride, I highly recommend Mike. He is very professional and responsive to the needs of his clients. Thanks Mike !

He was the best DJ ever, everything was perfect. I considered him my DJ and coordinator, He gave the wedding reception the most amazing lighting and effects. All of my guests had nothing but good things to say about the music, it suited every age group. Mike Grassi made my reception what it was... The best night of all times. It was truly a blast.
THANKS MIKE!!!

My husband and I were very pleased with Mike as our DJ for our May 20, 2011 wedding. From the very begining he was very helpful and available to answer any questions we might of had. He truely went above and beyound to make sure our wedding went as smoothly as it could. I was even calling Mike the day before the wedding to change a song I had already picked out and he was more then happy to make those changes for us. We also ordered a monogram lighting thru Mike and loved the way it came out, it added a special touch to our wedding I would suggest everyone look into it. The DJ is the one who in my mind makes or brakes the wedding/party and our wedding day was perfect Thanks to Mike...His price was also the best around which was just icing on the cake.

We had our wedding this past May in Albany. We aren't from the Albany region so we went on recommendations when it was time to pick our DJ. Mike came highly recommended and it didn't take us long to see why! Mike was such an amazing DJ leading up to our wedding and during our wedding! If I ever had a question, Mike would call me back the same day and made sure it was answered. We had Mike do our ceremony, cocktail and reception music. I thought it was going to be a problem because all of those events were in three different locations, but when I told Mike about the set up, he simply said "Won't be a problem!". And it wasn't! Our whole wedding was perfect because of Mike. He was professional, his equipment was discrete and he listened to all of our needs and made sure we were happy. You have plenty of things to worry about leading up to a wedding - and if you pick Music Man Entertainment, your DJ won't be one of those things.

I was recently married on May 14, 2011. I meet Mike at a bridal show in March of 2010 and knew from the beginning he was the man for the job no question. I never needed to meet or interview any other DJ. Mike is the best DJ I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He is both personable and professional. His ability to take music ideas and suggestions and get the party jumping and still satisfy all guests is amazing. I would not only recommend Mike but I would choose no other DJ for my own needs in the future! He is the best at what he does, and I cannot thank him enough for his services on our Special day.

What can I say ? Mike is a professional and puts forth 110% energy during the wedding, but more importantly during the planning. He is personable, and makes you feel like your wedding is the only wedding he is working the entire year ! Words cannot express how amazing he is, and managed to even get my grandparents out on the dance floor and smiling ! His taste of music is great and appropriate from the cocktail hour to the late night dancing hours, and always made sure to check with my husband and I before playing a requested song by a guest. He lets you create your own style and playlist, but is always honest and helpful with certain ideas which came in handy when deciding what formalities to have and which to skip ! He doesn't name drop, and keeps the focus on the wedding ..not himself - a rare find with DJs these days .
Mike truly took all of the stress and worry out of the night and worked as a coordinator along side the catering company, videographer and photographers as if they were a team ! The most memorable part of the wedding is how he treated my parents and my guests - he is so respectful, and words cannot express how impressed I was with the way he carried himself ! TRUST ME - the DJ is a crucial part of your reception, and because I chose Mike, my wedding will forever be talked about as a great party, not a " good wedding".
If you are looking for a DJ with amazing personality, taste and class, and the best prices in the Capitol Region... don't hesitate to call Mike ! His reviews and booked schedule should help reassure you he is the BEST !
- Kate Tripi

Mike did an outstanding job with the music selection for our wedding. He was able to take our ideas and bring them to life by blending our personal music preferences with what was perfect for our wedding crowd at the same time. We have received non-stop compliments regarding Mike's Music selections. Mike was able to provide music that was pleasing to guest of all ages! A true professional! We have no doubt that we made the right choice in selecting a DJ! We would highly recommend mike to anyone who is looking for the perfect music for their perfect day!

Mike Dj-ed our 4.23.11 wedding at Glen Sanders. He was SO wonderful. He is fun and energetic without being cheesy. He kept the dance floor packed all night. He was very accommodating to our ceremony music selections. He was also willing to work with our specific requests. The night slowed perfectly with a great balance of music. I would recommend him to any bride looking for an affordable, classy, and professional DJ. We loved him! - Danielle

Mike was very personable and open to our own thoughts on the music selection. His passion for his job and eagerness to make our wedding memorable really made us comfortable and confident that our guests were going to be on the dance floor all night ... And they were!! Everyone at the wedding continually commented on how well Mike kept the music going and the fantastic song selection! We were overly thrilled with his services and would highly recommend him to future brides. As my husband just said, "he was unbelievable!".

If you are getting married in the greater capital region of New York State look no further than Music Man Entertainment. From the very first phone call you knew Mike Garrasi was going to make your wedding special.
He took the time on every phone call to answer all questions and go over all the contract information.
Right up until wedding day Mike was making sure of the song choices were correct and that he was doing everything he could to make our wedding day perfect.
And once the big day got here, Mike did not disappoint. He kept the wedding moving and the energy level high. He got everyone out on the dance floor and kept them there until the very last song!
If you are looking for a DJ for your up coming wedding, you will be sorry if you don't book Music Man Entertainment!!! 10 STARS!!!

Mike was awesome. When we wanted a change in music all we had to do was ask and he made it happen. We had some uplighting around the room, and a monogram on the ceiling and it made the venue look awesome, I am so glad we did it. Mike was super enthusiastic the entire time we worked with him and he really made the night so much fun. Since he was playing such great music and no one wanted to leave, we kept extending the night! I would highly recommend him for your wedding.

Mike from Music Man Entertainment was an absolutely wonderful DJ both to work with before the wedding and also during the wedding. He played all of the music that we had requested him to as well as played music to get the crowd up and dancing for the whole night. My husband and I would fully recommend him to anyone who wants them and their guests to have the best wedding experience possible.

Highly recommend!!! Great time had by all!!

Mike was extremely professional and responsive to our wants and needs prior to our event. Our reception was EXACTLY what we asked for: we wanted people dancing! Mike was able to "keep the party going" by playing the appropriate music for the moment. Great music was played during dinner as well. The music kept to our personalities and musical tastes.
We know the impact that a DJ will have on the reception, I took no chance on this. For the quality, Mike charges a very reasonable rate and is worth every penny!

Mike did a WONDERFUL job DJing our reception. We couldn't have asked for a better job. He played all the music we loved and anything that anyone requested. He was 100% professional from the beginning stages of the planning right up until the last song was played. He definitely caters to not only the bride and groom but to the entire crowd. HE's not only a great DJ but a terrific master of ceremonies as well. I would recommend anyone looking for a DJ to go with him.

Awesome and energetic guy!! He makes sure everyone is dancing!! He is very attentive to your needs!! He is just awesome!!

Music Man Entertainment - DJ Mike Garrasi - is hands down the best DJ in the Capital Region! Right from the start he was great to work with and when you called him about anything it was like talking to an old friend. He did such a great job at the reception and had everyone on the dance floor all night! Our guests were having such a good time that we had Mike stay an extra hour. He said he would stay all night if we wanted and I truly believe he would if we asked! He worked hard to make sure everything flowed smoothly at the reception and that it was what we wanted.

MIKE IS AMAZING...HE IS ALWAYS CREATIVE AND WELL-PREPARED. HE IS A GREAT DJ, AND SPEAKER (FOR SURE). I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM.

I can't say enough about Mike and his work. He was so helpful both before our wedding as well as on the day of. Everytime I talked to him before our wedding he was so friendly and keep saying how excited he was about wedding. It made me feel like we weren't just another customer to him. On the day of the wedding, he made sure everything ran so smoothly. He even helped us out when we had a problem with our music for our slideshow. Our dance floor was packed all night, and everyone commended on the great job he did. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ.

Mike is the best. He let me choose all the songs for the wedding(we have the same taste!), he helped me with planning the reception order, he kept people out on the dance floor(not that it was a problem with our crowd), and he did AN AMAZING JOB. Best DJ at any wedding I've been to!

Mike of Music Man Entertainment was just down right awesome! He is so responsive, so down to earth yet has the perfect DJ personality, is SO professional, and was so kind and personable throughout the planning and at the wedding. He doesn't do anything without getting your permission first and has great taste for an elegant/classy wedding. No chicken dances with him (unless you request it!) and is just so experienced that you will have no worries on your big day.

Mike was an awesome DJ! The dance floor was packed virtually the whole night. Our goal was for our wedding to be one that people look back and remember what an awesome time they had, and thanks to Mike we accomplished that!
I highly recommend Music Man Entertainment!

Mike was amazing to work with! He is all the things you would want a DJ to be-fun, flexible, and very reasonably priced. He spent a lot of time with me, my husband and my family to make sure that we were all satisfied with the music he'd be playing at our wedding. We really wanted to have each couple in the bridal party walk into to different entrance music and Mike helped us brainstorm ideas and set everything up. Mike really listened to our tastes in music and if we loved something, he made sure it would be on the play list. On the other side, there were songs that we didn't want to hear that Mike made sure were on the do NOT play list. The night of our wedding, he was extremely attentive to us. Mike spoke to us frequently throughout the night and made sure that we knew when each special song (Father-Daughter, Mother-Son, Cake Cutting) was coming up. Our guests danced the entire night-Mike was able to read the crowd and play songs that everyone would enjoy. We have recommended Mike to other couples and when we saw him at their wedding, it was like meeting up with an old friend. Mike has a positive, upbeat attitude and it is obvious that he loves working with couples and being a part of their wedding day.

Everyone was dancing the whole night! He even played a few extra songs at the end of the night because the party was still going strong. He made the reception!

Mike was so personable and he helped us out a great deal with a lot of pre-wedding details. He sent us a cd of possible choices for parent/child dances which was a GREAT help! Mike took a lot of time to speak with us about our wishes and how he could make them possible in the best way. The music was fantastic and everyone had a great time!

The day my husband and I set our wedding date, we knew just who to call, Music Man Entertainment. We had been to numerous venues that he had DJd(is that a word) in the past and all I have to say is, It doesnt get any better than that! He was there for our every need even some questions that we had which really had nothing to do with The Music or Master of Ceremonies part of our wedding. Mike was very thorough in being absolutely, positively sure that our every need/want was fulfilled that day. My God, we made "last minute music changes" and he didnt even bat an eyelash! People still rave about how perfect our wedding was and its been over 2 years. This man goes above and beyond and can really make your dream wedding become a reality in every way shape or form. Hes been in the business for a long while (20 + years) and has worked with most any photographer, videographer or place you can think of. Mike is a well respected, caring, hard working individual who you can depend on to "get the job done" As any Bride knows, your wedding planning is one of THEE most stressful times in your life but I can tell you from my experience with Music Man Entertainment that boy did he ever take a load off!

Music Man Entertainment was fantastic! Mike knew the kind atmosphere we wanted at our wedding and he created exactly that. He played the songs we had requested and he got the guests on the floor and knew what music to play. All our guests raved to us how great Mike was. We will definitely recommend him to friends and family in the future.

DJ Mike is awesome - he put together a wedding reception that had everyone dancing and really catered to the crowd. We had a pretty young wedding, so by the end of the night when the remaning guests were all under 30 he switched the music up to focus more on us -perfect! He puts the time in to make sure you get exactly what you want, gives suggestions but doesn't push it, he spent an hour on the phone with us customizing our entrance music - if that isn't quality I don't know what is. Top Notch!

Mike was really awesome to work with. He made our wedding day very memorable and I use him for all my events that require a DJ

Very personable and professional. I'd highly recommend Music Man Entertainment.

Mike is wonderful! We had such a great time and he did such an amazing job, we extended our reception because we could not bring ourselves to stop the party!! :)

I hired this dj because I have seen him at other weddings, and also was the dj at my sisters wedding. Not only is he inexpensive, but he is a great entertainer. He works with whatever you need, and can find any song you need.

Mike is an outstanding DJ. We booked him after seeing him at my sister in laws wedding. My wife and I got married in 2007 and Mike helped in making the night a blast . He was very helpful with the planning, and was always available to answer questions when we needed him. He had a wide variety of music and was happy to take requests on the wedding night. We have been to several weddings since where Mike has dj’d and he was great at all of them. I defiantly recommend Music Man Entertainment.

Mike is an awesome guy. Very easy going and a top notch DJ. His courtesy and professionalism make him an wonderful person to work with.

Mike has so much enthusiasm for his business! I have never met anyone that can keep a party going like Mike does! In addition, his personality truly shines through too. It is such a pleasure to know Mike as a friend and business colleague.

We have seen first hand how great Mike is at his job! Couples hire him for his professionalism and ability to pack a dance floor at your big event. He is wonderful to work with as a vendor and we hear nothing but raving reviews from our couples following their events!

Mike knows how to make a party rock!

Not only did I graduate with Mike, he was the DJ at my wedding. Mike is fun. Extremely professional. A wonderful DJ and a great asset to your wedding.

It is always a delight to see Mike when I arrive at a wedding. His experience and professionalism is unsurpassed in the entertainment business.

If you want a professional, fun, high class, just-right DJ that will work with your creative style but can take the lead when needed; than Music Man is for you! His sound quality is phenomenal and has been at every event I've covered with him. He does not skip a beat and I've even seen him do wonders with tough areas. There are so many DJ's out there with big egos and make the show about them (trust me I've worked with many of them) but Music Man does not do that. He makes the night about you as a couple as it should be. I highly recommend Music Man Entertainment. Besides, as a vendor, I want to work with him again and have no problems so hire him!

Mike is a great DJ and very easy to plan and work with. A true professional with an outstanding reputation with customers, vendors and venues.

Music Man Entertainment owned and operated by DJ Mike Garrasi is the best in the Capital Region. Mike is professional, fun and down to earth. You will not find a more capable courtesy or accommodating DJ. I worked with him for my own wedding and he is my top pick for all my clients.

Mike is amazing DJ and Great Friend! He will keep the dance floor packed all night long and keep the event classy and fun. I highly recommend his services!!!!

Beyond Fabulous!

Always makes it a fun event.

Always a good time, prompt, professional and courteous. Fantastic to work with and keeps the party going!

Mike always does a great job. He fits the entertainment to the couple. Last time we worked together the groom was from Peru and he played spanish music. They were so thrilled! Always a pleasure to work with.

I have been working with Mike from Music Man Entertainment for all long as i have photographed weddings (17 years). I do more weddings with Mike than any other Dj in the business. He is always professional and always fun. Its never a dull reception with Mike. He always makes a reception for everyone to remember. Mike is also a great guy very nice to work with and always treats his brides and grooms like they are number one.

Mike from Music Man Entertainment is a class act all the way. From the first moment you meet with him you will instantly see what a great guy he is. He approaches each wedding with excitement, energy and that great smile of his. Those are just a few of the reasons why we refer Music Man Entertainment as one of our TOP recommendations. The BEST thing about Mike is when you hire him, you get him, unlike some of those company DJ services... you never know who will show up on your wedding day. You get one chance to have your wedding done right, don't make a mistake, don't procrastinate and do yourself a favor and higher Music Man Entertainment for your wedding reception now. Imagine! what he can do for your party!

Mike is seriously the best DJ around! Not only is he a really great guy with great energy, but he knows how to keep the party going all night! He makes sure that the bride and groom get exactly what they want while keeping in contact with other professionals like us photographers to insure that everyone is always aware of what's going on and that is extremely important. We have been on both ends since Mike DJ'ed our wedding 10 years ago! We are always super excited when we get to work with him. You could never be disappointed with Mike!!

I consider Mike to be a good friend and I enjoy working with him. Hes always very professional and he cares about what his clients want. Mike works very hard to make sure the guests of the party have fun and enjoy the evening. Mike can adjust to the needs of the party very quickly, a great quality for a DJ to have. People seem to love him and I'm sure you will to. I would say that you definately need to check him out, and a great dj will make for great footage. Mike always makes sure I have all the footage I need to make a great video. Good Luck and congratulations!

Mike is a fantastic DJ, professional, charismatic and a great edition to your wedding team!

Mike is very professional and knows how to get the party started!

Music Man Entertainment is a superb DJ service! Mike is always fun, friendly & very professional. He gets the party started and keeps it going all night long! He is always great to work with & very easy going. I would recommend Music Man Entertainment to any couple seeking an experienced & professional DJ that is capable of delivering a memorable event.

Music Man Entertainment - Triple A, Four Star... the best of the best!! Mike Garrasi brings it every time!!

highly respected in the wedding industry, highly respected among his fellow DJ's and he is among the best in the business professionally and one of the nicest and politest men you will ever meet.

Mike is a great DJ to work with. He provides the personal service your looking for on your wedding day. It's always a delight to know Music Man is the DJ for any wedding or event I photograph.

Mike is an outstanding DJ - especially if you've ever uttered the words, "I don't want to hear the Hokey Pokey at my wedding..." Don't worry, Mike doesn't want to play it either! If you want a DJ that won't annoy you, will keep people dancing, and is an upstanding professional, HIRE MUSIC MAN NOW! He's in high demand and I highly recommend him.

I have worked with a great many DJs through the years and Mike is one of my favorites. The sign of a good DJ is not the quality of their music, how good they can MC, how cool their set up is... It is the ability to put on what ever hat is necessary to achieve the right party for every client. Every wedding is different because every couple is deferent. A good DJ plays, and MCs based on the couple, not themselves. Mike is just that, he is the perfect mix of professional, classy and cool. Shop around, just make sure you meet with Mike!

Mike G has been around forever (although he doesn't look it...)
As a Vendor in the Wedding Industry, Mike is a blessing to work with: he's organized, flexible and always
keeps the client's perspective in the forefront. Mike will focus on the event at hand and plays music throughout the event- not a talk radio show. We welcome the Music Man at the Hilton Garden Inn, Troy at any time!!! Also - a little secret - Mike can assist with some GoBo lighting as well for your event!
