Mike Vincent Productions

Mike Vincent recently DJ’d our 24 hour Relay for Life Benicia. AMAZING one word says it all. He rallied the Relayers in the final lap and in 5 min raised another $ 1500.00. He’s the man. Great voice, even greater spirit.
Mike is no longer in business and in fact no longer lives in California.

Nothing but good thing to say about Mike! He was awesome to work with. Super friendly, outgoing, energetic everything you want in a DJ. He did forget to play a couple songs we requested, but we still had great music and an awesome time! Definitely get him if you can!

Mike Vincent was the best wedding DJ. He was very organized, friendly and professional. We had our wedding at a hotel in Sonoma. He provided wireless hidden mics for the ceremony and a mic for the toasts. Every time I talk to one of my friends they say how good our DJ was. He was fun and appropriate, not overbearing. He was very classy in his tux. He didn’t try to be the center of attention. He did a great job keeping the wedding and reception flowing. He played all of our requested special dance songs. He was awesome and I would definitely use him again.

Where to even start. MVP is hands down the most amazing and phenomenal entertainer you can have at your event. My husband and I were referred to him by our vendor, Brown Stone Gardens for our 9÷13÷13 wedding. It was after hearing their wonderful remarks and doing some research online for reviews like this one that we agreed to have him DJ our wedding. I use the term «DJ» loosely, as MVP is much more than a DJ, he’s truly entertainment in all respects.
Truth be told, we actually didn’t meet MVP until the day of our wedding. My husband had a job relocation earlier this year and we couldn’t make it to meet in person to run through things beforehand. As a busy bride, you can imagine this did make me a wee bit nervous. The music is one of the hugest things at a wedding next to the food and the venue. MVP had the solution to skype which worked beautifully. We agreed to a day and time and he was there right on the mark – very professional. He answered ALL of our questions on that skype session and ensured that the vision we had would become a reality. More importantly, he got to know us which made such a difference and really reflected through at the wedding. The cherry on top was that he adored our Golden Retriever Jake who was also trying to skype with him that night. Our dog actually loved MVP when he saw him before the wedding too! He has good taste like his mom and dad ;)
The day of the event came and MVP was there 2 hours early setting up and ensuring everything was going as plan. He even played music for my MOH and her mom who were there setting tables for our wedding. ur crazy dog was running around smelling everything and MVP was more than happy to keep his attention so I had less to worry about! It was a really nice touch.
The whole night was just so magical. Between the ceremony, the introductions and speeches, the dancing, and the whole magical feeling and ambiance of the night. It was all made possible because of the tone set by MVP. Funny enough, friends afterwards said how amazing and pumped they were all night because of his music selections and personality. They actually thought we had known MVP for years based on our interactions and how personal everything was. It made me feel good knowing our family and friends appreciated how magical he made the night just as much as we did.

This review is about 6 months overdue, but better than never! Mike Vincent did a friend’s wedding, and I remembered him and wanted him for ours.
Pros:
* Mike Vincent is professional, comes in a tux, has all the equipment, and is good at what he does! Very respectful, funny, entertaining.
* Was very willing to work with our limited budget and negotiate something that was helpful for us but still fair for him
* Not just a DJ, but a GREAT MC. For a wedding reception, you don’t just want someone who will play music, but someone who can really facilitate the party. He did just that.
* He got all our guests out on the dance floor, with people having an amazing time! Great mix of party dance music and got all ages out there – from old folks to younger ones etc.
* He puts in extra time to meet up and go over all the different aspects of the party. He’s like a mini reception coordinator in terms of having a good grasp of wedding protocol and culture. He is a veteran at what he does.
* Our actual wedding reception coordinator had a really easy time working with him day of.
* He always was available for last minute changes and available to talk over the phone.
* He thinks through programming and uses music choice almost as a tool to make sure everyone has a good time. Didn’t play annoying cheesy wedding music like YMCA or We are Family. He made sure to ask our music choice but made suggestions to make sure we catered to old people too.
Things to consider:
* We had some specific instructions for things like our traditional «tea ceremony» and our «football garter toss.“However, Mike forgot that the ceremony was supposed to be private and made it public for the whole reception. Not that big a deal, but was a miss in communication. Also, he forgot that the garter toss was supposed to be a surprise and announced it. If you have a lot of particularities, you need to communicate these things extra explicitly or it might get lost in details.
* I requested several specific songs that weren’t played during the evening.
Final word:
Go with him if you want to have a really fun party, ESPECIALLY if you just need someone to make the night go well. He’s good for old people, young people etc. He really knows how to create a party atmosphere and is willing to work with you. He will give his suggestions if he thinks what you want to do will detract from the party atmosphere. I suggest doing what he says because he’s had way more years of experience than any of us who are getting married for the first time.
For our price, Mike Vincent was SO worth it. Call him to negotiate a price, because he’s really good to work with! There was so much that went into his job than just playing music, and he literally worked ALL night. Great presence and really dictated the atmosphere of the entire evening! I highly recommend him!

Mikey V knows how to make a party! He had DJed several weddings for friends and he does an excellent job of the following: 1) making the bride and groom feel special, 2) playing the right toons to get the crowd on the dance floor, 3) making the elements of the wedding fun including the first dances, cake cutting, garder and flower tosses. Mike also has fun himself during the events which is conveyed in his voice — which is amazing. He keep the party moving and all guests having fun! His «set up» is the most current technology and top of the line. His new bride Christina only adds to the party as well.
For any party or DJ need Mike is the best! He is on the WOLF part time to hear his magic!
