Mike Medved Weddings- All Day Musician And DJ 

5.0

  • Production company
  • Serves Manhattan, NY for additional fees

On your special day, we provide all of the sound equipment needed for your wedding ceremony. We place a discreet clip-on microphone on your pastor or officiant, we provide a wireless microphone for your readers, and we place the speakers where lines of sight and the beauty of your ceremony setting will not be interrupted. I have 12 years of experience planning, DJing, and MCing wedding receptions. I love bringing my wealth of experience to each and every wedding couple's special day.

I don’t even know where to begin — Mike was a highlight of our wedding experience from the time of booking to even now after our wedding has wrapped up. He is a class act, someone who really listens and values you, not just as a client but as a person. We left each call being so appreciative of his kindness (something that can often be left out in the wedding industry) and in awe of his talent/wedding expertise. He helped us curate an amazing reception flow and welcomed our ideas with open arms. Walking into our cocktail hour to his live acoustic set is something I’ll never forget. Our guests were amazed! From our dinner playlist, he shuffled the perfect variety of our favorite songs it had me in tears the entire time. How he handled our announcements and all MC-ing throughout the evening was like nothing I’d seen photographing weddings over the past 5 years — a complete contrast to the flashy, showy MC taglines that feel like you’re being announced into a boxing arena, lol. That wasn’t for us and that also isn’t Mike’s style. We felt like the guests of honor and like each of our planned dances were equally as important to him that they went smoothly and were a special moment for our families. For example, my dad was nervous for his welcome toast and asked for a microphone on a stand instead of handheld. I watched Mike’s assistant literally *run* out to their car and back to accommodate in record time. The dance floor was packed and the songs Mike chose from our playlist were a perfect balance of the genres we love. Mike checked in with us about song/vibe suggestions and was the best advocate for what *we* wanted all day long. (This is the impact of getting to know your clients well!) At the end of the night, Mike organized our remaining guests into an exit tunnel following our private last dance and it was the best way to end the night. While we didn’t want the party to end, we will ALWAYS recommend Mike wherever we can so we can enjoy his talents again. After the wedding Mike sent us a collection of videos and photos he took throughout the day and we will always cherish them. He also wrote us the most thoughtful card and a gift that again, brought me to tears. Last thing - a little thing that might go overlooked - his equipment, lighting and set up, are SO good. Very tasteful set up and the light effects took the party to the next level. Ok! I could go on and on! But I’ll leave with this THANK YOU, Mike and your team for every little thing. We are so grateful.

Tasteful Tea worked with us to add specific instruments that we wanted for our favorite music genres and had a great song list to look at for reference. They knew how to read a room and keep the party going (without cheesy get-on-the-dancefloor songs). So kind and really made our reception the blast that it was!

  • Serves Manhattan, NY for additional fees

There is nothing like live music! Since coming back stronger than ever in 2022, Strings for Celebrations provides your favorite and most special tunes featuring harmonious strings! We have any song, and any style + genre, for any occasion.

I hired Strings for Celebrations to perform prelude and ceremony music for my wedding in June of 2024. I had a special request: as a composer, I wrote the ceremony music myself. SFC not only let us choose from a huge list of awesome songs for them to play before the ceremony, but they played all of my own works with gusto, excellent musicianship, and poise. I couldn't have asked for better. They truly contributed to making my special day absolutely perfect. Natalie was great at corresponding during the months that led up to our wedding, and she was more than fair with her pricing. Would recommend SFC for any special occasion.

Midnight City

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $7,500
  • Serves Manhattan, NY for additional fees

Full time musicians with years of experience, The Midnight City band brings energy and passion to each event. Playing a wide variety of music styles, the band keeps their set list updated and relevant with a mix of old school classics as well as newer hits sure to please any audience. In 2019, The Post and Courier named The Midnight City as Charleston's favorite cover band - this is a band sure to impress!

We were an out of town couple, planning a "destination" wedding and Midnight City came very highly recommended from our CHS wedding vendors, which was very important to us; they get to see ALL of the local entertainment! After reviewing a few demo videos, we knew we needed to book Midnight City immediately! Their diverse music portfolio and range of genres they can play is unmatchable and their ability to engage with a crowd is so impressive. They are a truly talented group, not just a (insert generic event here) cover band. The booking process and pre-wedding communication was very quick and seamless. They were very flexible when we added on ceremony music after the fact and executed everything flawlessly. We were able to highlight our must have songs, preferred songs, and our "do not play" list. Their energy was high and truly made us feel like we were at a concert vs. a wedding (which is just what we wanted). They amplified our entire experience. You will not be disappointed with this talented crew!!

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,200

There is an art to entertaining. To create a memorable wedding celebration, you need quality entertainment. Most events I do start with some common elements: guests, music and the client’s desire for the event to be successful. It’s the inspiration in the execution and preparation before the event that distinguishes me from the ordinary. While others may do events by number, I make each event an original, a unique reflection of my client…you! I take inspiration from your dreams and desires. I do not ask you to follow someone else’s format because I will thrive in yours.

Butch was simply phenomenal! He was able to keep our small wedding so high energy it felt like we had a room full of a hundred people! He was so flexible with us as we had so many changes throughout the planning process. He was willing to work with us regardless of what our contract stated, he just wanted us to have the best wedding we could. He was so helpful in planning meetings and his tool was easy and fun for us to use! We asked him last minute to do all the ceremony music and he was even willing to jump in the day of to marry us when we thought we were without an officiant. All of our guests raved about him! We can't say enough about Butch except to HIRE HIM! :)
