DJ Milk was literally the BEST DJ for our wedding. Not only did he know exactly what music to play the entire night to keep everyone on the dance floor, but he was incredible with keeping us on track with first dances, bouquet tosses, etc to keep the night flowing to have max dance time possible which was important to me. He mad sure to find us to make sure we could move on to the next portion and was very flexible if we needed additional time. He was extremely organized and professional throughout the entire process.

Rhythm & Lights

  • DJ
  • Serves Portage, MI

SO Rhythm & lights was founded in 1989. And the premise is really simple, simple pricing that includes everything we got. We only have two add ons. If you need the ceremony, and if you want a photobooth. Our teams going to setup all the lighting, and give you their all every single time, because the price doesnt dictate if they do that. We got you covered from every aspect. We do not do hourly rates, so no need to worry about the smallest details. BEcause we worry about the smallest details. You can just have FUN at your wedding.

Rhythm and lights exceeded our expectations. They were easy to work with every step of the planning process and very helpful. As a nervous bride this was very important, their attention to detail throughout was a huge weight off my chest, knowing I didn’t have to worry about anything. Mitch was our dj and he was absolutely amazing. The reception flowed flawlessly and the dance floor was full all night. (Ask for Mitch) I can’t imagine how different my wedding would have been if I hadn’t booked Rhythm and lights! Literally the best ️. Thank you!!!

Amplified Events Michigan is an award winning DJ brand synonymous with personalized touch, clean appearance, beautiful sound, and ease. We care about your wedding as much as you do and we strive to cultivate relationships with vendors and venues to ensure your day is a team effort.

I cannot recommend Amplified Events MI enough!! I first discovered them at a wedding at Journeymans and they kept the night seamless. We wanted a DJ for our wedding that took our playlist seriously while also giving some creative freedom, so I asked for their information. Let me tell you - they did not disappoint!! DJ Jeff kept the dancing electric and there was never a moment where the floor was empty. He was so helpful throughout the planning process and answered all my 100 questions as an anxious bride. We decided to go with the uplights & photobooth as well, which we can say was the best decision!! It added the perfect ambiance & our family raved about the photos they got to take home. The Michigan team was basically our wedding coordinator for the whole process & especially on the day of, so we couldn’t have done it without them. He even custom edited a song for my father/daughter dance so I could have both parts I liked. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making our wedding unforgettable!!

I planned our entire wedding and reception and coordinated it all, too. My new bride told me that with my personality, my intense desire to always provide phenomenal customer service, my love of music, my business skills, and the awesome job I did with our wedding and reception, I should start doing it for other couples. The dream was born, and a year later, we were in business. That was 10 years ago. It has been an awesome ride!

We worked with DJ Skip and it was such a success! My husband (ahh!) is from Spain and his family and friends came to the US just for this event. We wanted to make sure that there would be music that would be familiar to them and what they would expect for a wedding. Skip was very very accommodating, took requests easily, and quickly adjusted to match the energy of the crowd. We have gotten so many compliments about the dance floor, and we are honored to have worked with Skip!

My husband and I had been to several weddings with Ace Wedding DJs as a vendor, and several without. Let me tell ya, there is a big difference! We knew we needed Ace Wedding DJs for our wedding this past June and they did not disappoint! Our lead DJ, Avery Echols worked closely with our other vendors to make the night run so smoothly. My husband and I truly did not have to think about anything and could just enjoy the night! Avery also CRUSHED the vibes!! After letting him know our top priority was making it a party and ensuring our guests had fun, he kept the dance floor packed all reception. Our booking coordinator, Wes Echols, was also great to communicate with. He always had very quick responses, provided us with a comprehensive and thoughtful questionnaire for the ceremony and reception, and was overall very helpful.

The string trio and our DJ, Eric, were both amazing! They went above and beyond our expectations. I believe Eric may have even helped our family move table decoration boxes during setup! The ceremony set up was perfect, and we could hear every note and word through the mic, even through the wind gusts. We were hearing from guests all night about how lovely the string trio played and that they recognized a lot of the songs. They even helped get our shy flower girl up and dancing during cocktail hour! Eric was the best DJ we could ask for. He met us during cocktail hour to introduce himself and confirm entrances and bridal party names. He was so professional, but also fun and laid back. He played the perfect jazz set during dinner. We could even hear some people at tables nearby singing along to Frank Sinatra between courses! As with most weddings I’m sure, the timeline isn’t always concrete, but Eric made sure we didn’t stray too far without being pushy so that we still had time to visit guests before speeches and dancing. Being true millennials, we wanted to relive the glory days of the 2000s as part of our night so a lot of our song choice centered around that, but we also wanted to make sure our guests enjoyed open dancing too. Eric was great at accepting requests and his set was amazing. My 92 year old grandmother was on the dance floor for Dancing Queen and it is a memory I will never forget! Towards the end of the night, Eric played all our pop/punk songs and I don’t think the bridal party left the dance floor until the end. We are so happy that we chose you guys for our music. We couldn’t have asked for a better team or a better night. Everything Eric and the string trio did just exceeded our expectations and we will gladly recommend you all to anyone and everyone we know! Please send our heartfelt thanks and share our praises with the members of our string trio and Eric. They helped make our wedding perfect and we are so happy with the services. Thank you all again for an incredible and unforgettable night!

My wife and I found ourselves planning our wedding smack dab in the middle of several other family weddings over the past year. Each event we went to was an opportunity for us to critique details of the ceremony, reception, and design choices that were made. We often saw things that we borrowed for our own wedding, and just as often, identified things that were definitely not our style or that we would do differently. One thing we consistently noted, was that the reception could be made or broken by the music choices, sound quality, and general atmosphere created by the DJ. Todd was our first choice. He was quick to reply, always professional, and very accommodating with our many specific requests. It turns out, we hired Todd without even knowing that both of my wife’s sisters had hired him for their weddings 10 years before! Todd was great. He really made our day special. We kept saying that the one thing we cared most about was our guests having a great time. And each of them did. We had friends and family coming up to us all night saying that it was one of the most fun weddings they have been to. We attribute a huge part of that to Todd and Dance Trax. The music was fun and just the right volume. The sound quality wasn’t all distorted or washed out. And Todd did a great job of directing guests, coordinating around events like first dance, cake cutting, etc. I cannot recommend him enough.

Hi everyone! My name is Maia (she/her) Music has been in my life for as long as I can remember. I decided the summer before senior year of high school that I wanted to try out a harp lesson, and ever since that day, I haven’t looked back! In my 13 years of study, I have primarily learned from Elizabeth LeBlanc. I also attended two summers at Rocky Mountain Springs Harp Program, where I studied with Kathryn Harms. I have been very fortunate to have wonderful teachers who got me where I am today! Outside of my musical background , my degree is in Early Childhood Education. I am luck to work in both the childcare and music fields!

Maia is super talented, and the harp adds so much to your wedding day. I have worked with Maia a couple times as a photographer and she is always super kind to me and other vendors. I love that she lets her couples take photos with her harp and they turn out so lovely. I’ve heard her music and her talk about how she has learned her couples favorite songs for them to play on their wedding day, showing her dedication and talent. Your wedding will be so magical and unique with the touch of adding Maia playing her harp.

5.0

  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $400
  • Serves Portage, MI

When, I was eight, I announced to my parents, “I want to play the harp.” Their wisely cautious response was to give me a year of piano lessons! But once I got my fingers on strings, there was no looking back. Now I own six harps and play professionally for weddings, churches, senior care as well as arranging and recording. By mixing my years of classical training with my love of different genres I get to help people make memorable events with beautiful music. Meet me and the harps at my website.

This lady is a gift from heaven!!! From our first phone conversation, until she left the wedding, my experience with her has been completely enchanting. Her musical training is of the highest quality! She brought magic to our daughter's wedding that never would have been there without Anna. I cannot recommend her highly enough. I do not know the occasion, because I only have one daughter, but I know I will find or manufacture some other occasion so I can hire her again!!!

Avalon The Band

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $3,499
  • Serves Portage, MI

I have been a professional musician for my entire life. My mom was a music teacher & started me on piano at age 5. At 14, I discovered singing & the guitar. They have been a big part of my life since. I am an alum of Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA & toured the country extensively. Wedding receptions have always been my favorite because of the wonderful joyous feeling in the air. I enjoy putting on a great show & exceeding the client's expectations. I own a music school and understand that the customer is king. I've done over 300 weddings & always do my best to ensure that your special day is spectacular.

Hi I just copied and pasted this from the review I sent over. This band was incredible!! I’m so happy we decided to go with them—they rocked all night! The number one thing guests were commenting on, I can’t tell you how many times I was asked, “Where did you FIND them?!” The songs they played were perfect; you can really tell they pay attention to the vibe of the crowd! They offer services for all sound needs throughout the day (mics for officiant, ceremony sound, cocktail hour, etc). Rich is an all-around good person: professional, kind, easy-going. Typically responds within a day, which I was so thankful for! And they’re completely affordable, it won’t cost you an arm and a leg to have great live music!! We knew we wanted a band but I hadn't had luck finding anyone close to us that was affordable, responsive, and had wedding experience, so we almost gave up and had a dj instead, but I'm so happy we found Avalon! I cannot say enough times they exceeded all expectations and made the reception so unforgettable! Thank you for all the energy and talent you brought to our special day!
