Hi, my name is Mitch! I grew up surrounded by music. I started playing saxophone in 5th grade and pretty much from then on music has encompassed my life. After graduating from college with a music degree and working in customer service for over 3 years, the thought of combining my passion for music and love of serving people always sounded too good to be true! My number one goal is to help you craft an unforgettable wedding, one note at a time! How do I do that? by getting to know you and catering to your likes and dislikes! Also with my secret weapon! (my saxophone)

We cannot express enough praise and gratitude for Mitch! We had the privilege of working with him for our wedding on 7/6/24. From preplanning meetings to the wedding day, Mitch was extremely on top of everything to ensure our wedding day ran smoothly. He also communicated with our other vendors on the day of the wedding to ensure everyone was on the same page! When we had our live acoustic guitarist back out somewhat suddenly, we reached out to Mitch for references. To our surprise, he offered us an even better idea to have him play sax and a friend play guitar at the ceremony. All of our guests absolutely loved it and it brought a really special feel to the ceremony. On top of that, the energy he brings to MCing got our guests super excited and involved! Part of our package included having Mitch play Sax at the reception… JUST DO IT! It was so fun having him jump on the dance floor and interact with our guests! Mitch made our wedding a day to remember for all, and we cannot recommend him enough. Thank you DJ Mitch!

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band.

They did beautiful ceremony music, incredible sax jazz during cocktail hour to keep it classy. Then, they kept everyone engaged and entertained for the reception, from my aunt in a walker to my college friends twerking. We danced the night away but lost our voices from screaming along with the songs too. 10/10 you can’t go wrong with dueling pianos - DJs and wedding bands are out, Felix & Fingers is IN!

Welcome to Golden Touch DJ, where Minnesota DJ Bill Young has dazzled guests of weddings and many other events in the Twin Cities (and surrounding area) for more than 15 years. Bill’s journey as a DJ started years ago when he was a professional dancer.
