Mike Farmer Entertainment

Mike is amazing! Very pleasant to work with. He responded almost immediately after we first contacted him. His promptness and great spirit is what lead us to hire him! Our wedding at Grand Tradition was awesome. Every raved about our awesome DJ!

Mike DJ’d our wedding on 8÷1÷15. We could not have been happier with our decision to have Mike as our DJ. He was outstanding! We met with Mike when we were first engaged and he helped us think about the order of events at the reception and provided a sample music list. He is professional, experienced, and so personable! After meeting with him I felt confident that he would make our reception run smoothly and that’s exactly what he did. He timed everything perfectly, while checking in with my husband and I throughout the night. We received so many compliments from our guests about Mike. He seamlessly played today’s hits, country, Banda, salsa, and oldies. It was perfect! I would recommend him to anyone.

Mike was our dj for our wedding on 7÷5÷15 and I’m so happy I found him. I first came across mike through our wedding venues preferred venders list and may I say I had many options for different djs but what set mike apart from others was that he responded to me very fast on quotes and what he can offer me for our wedding and was very professional. We met up a couple times to go over our wedding music and our request. Come the day of the wedding mike arrived very early and had everything set up by the time our ceremony started, the sound was great, equipment was professional kept the night going with all the request we made. his prices are very affordable and on top of that he made our wedding cake stand out more with the awesome pin spotting he provided for us. Mike thank you so much for your service and I am glad I came across you. Highly recommended for any ones dj needs!

Mike was the DJ at a wedding I coordinated last night. He was awesome! So friendly and easy to work with you! I will highly recommend him to all my client for great entertainment and service you can rely on!

Top notch DJ! I hired him to DJ a corporate event on the USS Midway. He was great. I really did not give him to much information other than «Top 40’s» and he did an outstanding job. He knows music and payed all the right songs. Everyone was dancing until the very last song! He returned all my calls and emails quickly. When in the SD area I would hire him again. Thanks, Mike!

We used Mike Farmer for our daughters wedding in October of this year. He was on-​time, professional and fun! He is ver personable so it made the wedding more enjoyable. I would highly recommend him for any event!

Mike provided all the music for our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. He was professional and responsive from the start which gave us confidence he would be a great person to work with during the process. He had great communication and he was quick to answer any questions we had at any time. He provided a sample request list that helped us sort out the music selection for every stage of our wedding day.
He has been in the business for a long time so he knows what he’s doing, no surprises. He helped the whole day flow and he kept everyone on the dance floor until the last song. So many of our guests mentioned how much fun they had at the wedding and I know Mike had a lot to do with it! We are so happy we went with him for our wedding and we would recommend him to any future bride & grooms looking for a reliable guy who is going to keep the party going all night long! Thanks Mike!

My husband and I are not «dancers». But when planning our wedding, we both agreed that having a great DJ was important. We had our wedding at Grand Tradition Estate in Fallbrook and were thankful they provided us with a list of preferred vendors.
Mike Farmer was quick to respond, courteous and professional. To get a good feel of our style, Mike asked us to compile a list of songs we DEFINITELY wanted him to play, along with a list of songs we did NOT want played. A simple task, but also genius. Because at our reception, we really felt he understood our likes and dislikes by the music he selected.
Our reception was split between friends in their early 30s and those in their 60s. We were concerned that the generation gap would cause issues on the dance floor. But Mike did an excellent job selecting music everyone could dance to. He peppered in some slow songs (so people could catch their breath) and sped up to some fast songs to call everyone to the dancefloor! It was a great reception, and we are so glad we chose Mike as our entertainer!

When I asked my 92 year-​old grandmother about her favorite moments of our recent wedding, she replied «the food and that DJ!»
The DJ, of course, was Mike Farmer. From the moment that we first met Mike, we were confident that he was going to provide a wonderful wedding experience for our guests. Mike has been in the business for a long time and his professionalism was obvious to us throughout the process.
Mike played a variety of genres for us throughout the event (classical during cocktails, jazz/​oldies during dinner and pop/​hip-​hop/​contemporary during the main dancing). He provided us with a «suggestions» playlist for all kinds of different musical varieties. After we sent him our list of preferred songs, he was very attentive to making sure that they were all played.
Regarding communication, Mike was always responsive and I emailed him frequently. About a day before the wedding, he sent us a «good luck» email and reminded us that he’d be happy to make any last minute changes to the playlist.
All that being said, I’d have to agree with my grandmother. Mike was one of the best and most integral parts of wedding not only for his playlist selections but for setting a fun and relaxed tone for our guests.
Mike, thank you so much for everything!!!

The best DJ out there! All of my guests kept telling me how fabulous he was, and he really knew which songs to play to get all of my guests on the dance floor. Definitely would recommend him :)

We hired Mike to DJ our wedding, and he was great! We found him via independent research and reviews like these, and he was also referred to us by our photographer. As this had become a destination wedding for us, we arranged everything over e-​mail and phone call. It was a very easy and smooth process! I also feel that he is very reasonably priced.
Mike did a fantastic job for us. We hired him to both provide ceremony sound and to DJ the reception. It was great because Mike brings a separate sound system for the ceremony, which means the reception sound system is all set-​up and playing some light music when guests made their way over for cocktail hour! We had him mic my husband in addition to the officiant, and the sound quality and coverage was top notch. No sound problems whatsoever! (I used to do theater so I’m familiar with how such issues can pop up when you mix people and sound systems, hehe.)
When the reception came around, Mike was super on top of it. Mike is a pro, and he handled every cue for the evening’s festivities perfectly! We didn’t have a hard partying crowd — that is to say, we had lots of older family and like 25% young children — but Mike still did a great job of tailoring the music to the crowd and the mood, while including the music and styles I had discussed with him beforehand. That’s another thing — Mike really listened to and internalized my requests; he even went above and beyond to track down a certain song version through his network of contacts, unprompted! It was great.
Mike was wonderful, and we are so happy he was a part of our wedding. I highly recommend him to other brides, grooms, and event planners!

My son and his new bride hired Mike Farmer for their August 25, 2013 wedding. I really liked him.
He has a refined announcing voice, but doesn’t overpower the event with anything but the essentials, pretty much blending into the environment, but keeping things moving like a pro. He kind of quietly and politely keeps the schedule going with instructions to the guests, appropriate dance music when needed, and really has a good feel for the emotion of the event and «produces it» from the wings. Very smooth, very professional.
When the schedule needed to adjust for timing, he flowed with it, no problem. Very humble and adaptable.
He was very helpful in providing sound and hook-​ups for a video presentation on equipment I personally brought, and helped make the event flow smoothly.
When dinner was over and it was dance time, he kept EVERYONE on the floor dancing for hours with a continuous flow of good dance music to our taste. Can;t say enough good about Mike Farmer.

Mike provided sound services for our wedding ceremony and DJ services for our cocktail hour and wedding reception and did an amazing job! We had a friend play acoustic guitar for our ceremony and Mike worked with him as well as our officiant to get the sound perfect for our ceremony. The sound switched over to Mike at the end of the ceremony for our processional and everything went smoothly.
For the cocktail hour I had given him a very long list of our favorite songs and I was happy to hear them throughout it and during dinner as well. During the reception he did an excellent job of playing great dance music and especially during the final hour of our wedding the dance floor was packed and the energy was at an all time high.
Just before our wedding we met with Mike to go over last minute details and he got it all right. He was always incredibly responsive to email and phone calls– something I can’t say about all our vendors. You can definitely count on Mike to provide you with reliable, amazing service!

Mike was simply amazing! Like yourself, I was struggling to find the perfect DJ for my wedding… Let me tell you, all these reviews are true. Mike is a true wedding professional, don’t settle for anything less. Mike played every song I asked for, set the mood and tone that expected and kept the party going (even when we requested he keep playing for an extra 30 min)
Mike was a pleasure, from day one he was prompt with any questions I had and was a great person to get advice from based on his years of experience. I felt that Mike enjoyed himself, that he was part of the wedding… Not a hired vendor. I couldn’t be more happier that I chose Mike as our DJ. It’s been two weeks and every time I see a guest from the wedding I hear about how awesome our DJ was. Thank you Mike for being apart of our special day… You are the real deal :)

P.S He had no hesitation in pronouncing any names… Hence our not so common one :)

Mike Farmer was the DJ for our wedding on 6÷2÷13 and he was simply wonderful. Believe it or not I was actually sick on our wedding day (ugh!). Mike was so sweet and so accommodating to my requests. We had to delay a few events here and there, but Mike just rolled right with it. He checked in with me before each event to make sure I felt okay. As for his music, he played exactly what we wanted. We had both a young crowd and an older crowd, and Mike knew exactly what to play and when to play it. I was afraid people wouldn’t dance very much and Mike had everyone on the dance floor, even up until the last song! We were surprised at how many people stayed for our sparkler send off, and I relate that directly to Mike. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an outstanding DJ, no matter what type of music.

Mike farmer was a wonderful DJ! He was very quick to get back to me right away when I emailed him. and responded quick every email after if I had a question etc. he played great music and was a great host! I would highly recommend him to anyone!

Mike Farmer was professional from the day we met him. Mike met me and my fiancé months before our wedding and helped us plan our schedule. It was clear that entertaining at events & weddings is Mike’s full time job and he knows what he’s talking about. All of our questions/​emails were responded to within 24 hours, if not immediately.
Mike sent us a complete list of his song portfolio and had us add any numbers that were not already listed. He then built our play list based on our preferences with some of his own personal touches (he knows what to play, and when to play it, to get people dancing). Our dance floor was packed for hours.
Mike also did a great job announcing guests and the wedding party, our first dance, etc… and kept us exactly on schedule the whole night.
Great memories for a lifetime! We wouldn’t change a thing. We definitely recommend this 5-​star DJ for your next event!

I found Mike on Ponte Winery’s Preferred Vendor list. I gave him a call and he was able to work with us on our budget. We met up with him in his home office, and right away I knew that I wanted to go with him as our DJ. He has been in the business for 20 years and completely knows what he is doing.
Our wedding was so out of this world perfect, and Mike was a huge factor in its success. He did such a fantastic job of being able to «read his audience» and play appropriate music that everyone loved! I don’t know how he did it, but he encouraged people just enough to get them on the dance floor. All. Night. Long. And my family doesn’t dance. I was so happy that the music and his easy going natural MC style enabled everyone to have a great time.
He was right on with the songs that we had on our «must play» list, though we didn’t hear all of them since we were outside taking pictures for a large chunk of the dinner hour.
We met with Mike twice before the wedding, and after talking with him, I felt totally comfortable with leaving the entertainment in his hands. When he put my CD of our wedding songs in his computer and realized that the titles of the songs hadn’t transferred, he spent time
on the phone with me playing through every song so that I could identify them.
Thanks Mike for being so on top of it and making our wedding such a success!

Without repeating EVERYTHING that has been said before in all of Mike’s other reviews, I’ll just say that Mike was very professional, courteous and on point with the flow of the music throughout the night. He was an absolute pleasure to work with. He played an active role in planning the timeline and flow of the evening and provided excellent recommendations for songs from the ceremony to the end of the evening. He was way more than some guy who showed up with a bunch of music on a laptop!
Thank you Mike for helping make our special day as great as it was!

We had Mike MC and DJ our wedding reception and ceremony.
He is a class act all the way and we were very pleased with his work on our special day.
At our first meeting with him, he was very attentive and listened to what we wanted. My fiancée (now my wife) and I had a «nothing cheesy» requirement for the music and MCing for our wedding and Mike delivered!
Mike’s setup at the ceremony site was unobtrusive and spot on. The reception was no different, he played all of the songs we submitted to him and was an excellent MC for us.
He is a consummate professional all the way.
Highly recommended!
