5.0 The best of the best

 

Mike was the best DJ this dancing bride could have ever asked for. He took all requests, respected the do not play and "please play" list.

He was SO aware of what kept people moving and grooving and kept the energy high. We had so many compliments on how wonderful Mike was, from staff at our venue and our guests. Highly recommend this kind, wonderful and extremely fun gentleman. You will not regret it!

5.0 Can't Stop Dancing!

 

From the DJ started playing, he had the songs which I requested especially our song, which really made my day. The music was great for very time the song end thought to sit down no way because the next song you wanted to dance to, it went like that all night long. DJ was very friendly and great to talk to, they would be the first to call again if something came up we needed music and a DJ

DJ: Mike Brooks DJ and entertainment is hands down the BEST out there. He's one of the nicest men I've met in my life. He took care of everything. The music was incredible.

5.0 Amazing DJ for our Wedding

 

Mike was absolutely incredible. He went above and beyond both leading up to and on our special day. He was super responsive and we felt like he took into account such specific requests to make our day magical. He often replied immediately with great suggestions and was super organized. He was awesome at blending mine and my partner's different cultures, as requested, and played a perfect variety of music! His songs were on point for our ceremony as well. Mike is easy to work with, flexible, and so nice! Thank you Mike for all you've done! You're awesome and we'd highly recommend Mike to any and all couples!

DJ: Brooks DJ Entertainment (Mike Brooks) is hands down the best DJ out there! Besides being friendly, professional, and reasonably priced, he's incredibly organized and responsive (this coming from a very Type A personality lol). He was so helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process - providing countless forms/templates and song lists (I couldn't believe all of the helpful forms and tips he provided!). He graciously agreed to MC our wedding when I had no clue who else to ask (about 2 weeks before the big day). We hired Mike for the full day (7-8 hrs): ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and dance. The day of, he was on time, dressed accordingly, friendly and inviting to our guests, did a wonderful MC job (keeping everything running on time), and regularly checked in with my husband and I to ensure we were happy. Do not hesitate to book Brooks DJ Entertainment (Mike Brooks) for your wedding or party needs - I definitely will be the next time I'm in need of a DJ!

5.0 Wonderful Experience

 

Mike was fantastic to work with, very responsive and helpful. He asks for song preferences up front and provided an outline for the evening that I found very helpful. He was also very responsive to my guests and their requests. A true pleasure to deal with. We danced the night away.

◈DJ: Brooks DJ Entertainment - For our DJ we wanted someone who would get everyone on the dance floor and keep them there all night. Mike did an awesome job picking the songs for the night. I told him what styles and vibe we wanted and he took it from there. He was super helpful and made sure to check in with us throughout the night to make sure we were hearing everything we wanted to. Such a good time!

5.0 Best DJ Ever!!!

 

Absolutely the best DJ around! We are a mature couple who got married in September 2022. Mike was excellent to deal with, and asks extensive questions so he would know how to read the room on our wedding day. Mike played pre-ceremony music, all the wedding music, reception music and then the dance music. From the minute the dance music started, Mike had the dance floor full for the entire night. Our guests kept complimenting us on how much fun they had dancing the night away. We highly recommend Mike, he is a great guy with incredible talent. Thanks again Mike. We will definitely book you for any future events, as well as recommend you to everyone! It was a magical evening.

Cheers Heather & Paul

Margaret C. married on 17/sep/2022

5.0 Mike was a welcome addition to our wedding party.

He was very thorough in his research of our wants and needs and he met our every expectation.

Mike had our schedule perfectly planned. He was friendly and approachable. If he played something that did not get a response he quickly changed it up He was the heartbeat of our party.

Samantha J. (C.) - married October 8, 2022

 

I can second this! He DJ'd our wedding in the fall and went above and beyond for us, he was there from the time of set-up till tear down at the end of the night and was willing to help where ever he could. We got so many compliments on the playlists, he had people on the dance floor all night. There were a couple of songs in our ceremony that he didn't have in his catalog that he made sure to get for us. We would 10/10 recommend.

DJ Mike was great

Mike was very responsive and organized and helped our wedding run smoothly. He was able to obtain the specific songs that we wanted for our ceremony and was flexible enough to change up his music on the fly during our trivia event. Would highly recommend to anyone.

My experience with brooks DJ entertainment was amazing! Communicating with Mike was very easy, and he responded in a timely manner! Mike was an excellent DJ for our wedding! He kept the party going all night and had everyone in the room dancing. I would highly recommend using Mike as your DJ! I also loved his text message song request feature.

Kept the party going

Mike was wonderful to work with. He provided us with so much information and guides to picking music. He set up and tore down without us even knowing! Everything went smoothly and he was so professional. The music was the perfect mix of the genres that we had picked in addition to adding in song requests. The dance floor was never empty!

Tina B. Married on 24/10/2020 5.0

Fantastic DJ

Mike was recommended to us as a fantastic DJ, so we went with this recommendation and was it ever spot on!
Mike was incredibly easy to deal with, always responsive and timely. We unfortunately had to postpone our 2020 wedding to 2021, and he made rescheduling super easy. Leading up to the wedding, we added uplighting and MC light services, as well as asked Mike to also do our ceremony music. Day of, everything was perfect, the ceremony music was perfect, the audio was perfect, uplighting was perfect, and MC services was perfect. The DJ part was beyond perfect, the choices were great, we danced all night past last call! The request process was easy and guest really appreciated that. We would highly recommend Mike as a DJ to anyone looking to keep their dancefloor a happening place all night!

☆DJ - Mike Brooks with Brooks DJ Entertainment 
▪︎ we are SO happy we went with Mike and his company for DJing our wedding. He did both our ceremony as well as our reception and we couldn't be happier with how things went. He accommodated everything I asked for and kept our guests on the dance floor all night! All we wanted was a big party vibe and he most definitely delivered, highly recommend!

We would like to take a moment to give a standing ovation to absolutely every single professional that was part of our hurricane wedding. We couldn't have chosen better companies and people to work with. We highly recommend ALL of them:.....

DJ Mike Brooks showed up ready to roll in whatever weather came our way, handled more than a few power bumps throughout the night, and kept the lights and music going as long as possible. If he was this great of a DJ in the middle of a hurricane, I can only imagine his talent in nicer weather. Thank you Mike for ensuring we got everything done that we needed to get done including speeches and dancing! ��

Absolutely Amazing!!

Brooks DJ Entertainment is the best DJ out there! Mike Brooks has years of experience DJing weddings he helped us so much with all the details and lot I hadn't even thought of. He took all the stress away from helping choose the ceremony music to setting up up-lighting to make everything look amazing! He knows how to play music to a crowd to keep everyone young and old on the dance floor! To be honest I love him so much I actually planned my wedding around when he would be available...wouldn't have wanted anyone else! If you are planning a wedding or event Brooks DJ Entertainment is the way to go, he will take alot of the stress away from beginning to end offering encouragement and advice! Larry and I can't thank you enough for making our special day so amazing!❤️

‎Noel R.G.‎ September 30 2017

This is overdue but we had Mike Brooks as our DJ on Sept 30th at Shining Waters Marine and he knew the crowd so well! We had an older crowd with a few younger ones from all over, mainly Cape Breton. We wanted a casual feel with some classic old Cape Breton music and he even ended with the 90s! It flowed so well and he hit every genre! All we had to do was give him some of our must plays (which weren't many), tell him the style we were going for and the best part is he has a do not play list lol ... seriously his prices are so good and for our wedding we just wanted the ceremony and party after and Mike hit it on the money! So Thank You! I've heard of other bride and grooms having to come up with an entire playlist for other DJs and I couldn't imagine, Mike made it so easy! He even has a guide for the night that you can use to follow how you want everything to flow! That was a life saver to keep me organized! ... seriously highly recommend!

 I'm a photographer and I've worked with Brooks DJ+ Entertainment and he was a memorable DJ that stood out among a lot of DJs that I've worked with. He was super professional, played exactly what the couple was looking for and was the sweetest person to boot! He would be my recommendation  ��

While I have a few photos of you - I think I know you well enough to know that this one says it all and will put a smile on your face  :)

You can't hear the music in this photo, but you can see it! Making people happy and stay on their feet dancing the night away at their most special time in their life is your specialty. So glad we went with you as our DJ and just love that you and your wife were married in the same room!

Thank you for being part of our special day.

Cheers and Happy Birthday. To many more!

Taralyn Kloet‎ Oct, 2017 · 

Mike Brooks is a super star! Being from out of town we had to go about finding a wedding DJ in a little backwards way and Mike was a dream to work with. We had a power outage during our reception and he so graciously drove home to get us an extra back up battery. He kept the music going all night, something to make everyone happy!

I recommend Mike and Brooks DJ Entertainment whole heartedly you will not be disappointed!

Thank you Mike!

Alyssa M. Sept 2017 · 

We had Brooks DJ Entertainment at our wedding September 9th and we can't say enough! Mike was amazing. He played all of our songs, checked in with my husband and I to make sure everything was going as we planned and he stayed and played until the very end! Even joined us! I highly recommend them. Thanks again so much, Mike!

Callee F.R. Sept 2017 · 

Long overdue! But I just had to come on here and let everyone know that we hired Brooks DJ Entertainment for our wedding this past June - and he was absolutely amazing! He was incredibly organized, was able to get all our intro songs down to the exact segments we wanted, and he had the dancefloor completely full all night - the best tunes, with very little direction from us I might add! Thanks so much!

 

Ashley N. Spring 2016 · 

Awesome, awesome, awesome DJ experience! Our entire group of guests, ages 2 - 72 were on the dance floor! Thank you so much for such an incredible night and for making our wedding so perfect. From the ceremony and finding our songs to go-with-the-flow wedding day changes - thank you!

Holly & Andrew July 2016

My husband and I want to thank DJ Mike Brooks for the amazing work on our wedding day. From 3:00 pm to 1:00 am he kept everyone singing along, tapping their toes, and busting a move! Mike Brooks is professional, kind, and knows what he is doing! He met with us twice and both times we met we knew right away that we made the right decision. If you want everyone on their feet dancing, this is the DJ you need to hire. He will NOT disappoint! Thanks again for the perfect day/night!

Kate S. Sept 2014

My husband and I got married in September 2014 and Mike Brooks was our DJ. He was so helpful throughout the planning process! He provided audio support for our outdoor ceremony, cocktail music, and dance music. Our guests commented on how much fun they had on the dance floor and what a great DJ we had. We agree! We are thankful we chose Brooks DJ Entertainment! Here is a picture from This is Photography of Mike in action at our wedding 

Rebecca L. M. 2015

We had Mike do our sound/music at our ceremony and reception a few weeks ago and we could not have been happier. Working with Mike was seamless and easy (two of my favourite things when planning this wedding!). His passion for weddings and expertise were evident from our first meeting. Throughout the process, he was easy to communicate with and flexible.
I also know my bridesmaids made quick friends with him and he was very awesome with song requests!
Thanks again Mike. Once the photos are in, we'll be sure to share some of you "in action."

Hi Mike,

  Just wanted to thank you for everything during our wedding. We did not have much of an idea on what we wanted but all your suggestions and help was great. You had the entire place dancing all night. Not a single song had an empty dance floor. We would definitely recommend you to anybody we know getting married. Thanks again!

  TJ and Ashley S.

  (one of our DJs did this wedding) Thanks for checking in Mike, The service was great, and we really enjoyed the music! We were so impressed, the dance floor was full until closing! Thanks again,

 Mike, our wedding day was perfect and our dance was fantastic! Your DJ service was amazing! You were so organized and so accommodating with James, myself and our guests. I don't think our dance floor was empty all night. Thank you SO much!

  Ashley and James...   - feeling grateful.

 Hey Mike!!

   We want to tell you that we were very happy with the DJ services you provided! The planning and organizing you guided me through, before the wedding was so helpful! All the communication we had was professional and genuine. You were so quick to get back to my e-mails, I couldn't believe it! I felt very confident that you would do a great job and you really did! Finally, you did an excellent job at keeping the dance floor energized!! I would highly recommend you to anyone. Thank you so much for helping to make our big day as stress-free as possible.

  Amy and Robert

 Your professionalism, patience, and useful insights into the event  planning we were doing from a distance (Ontario) was a huge help to us in planning our wedding.   The music was fantastic - thank you for accommodating our and our guests' requests!  The entire evening was top notch, our guests loved it, and you exceeded our expectations - Thank You!

  Paulette and Jonathan

Just a quick note to you to thank you so very much for your outstanding DJ work you provided us for our wedding. We were blown away with your talent, your professionalism, and your ‘above and beyond' attitude. My friends and family still comment to this day how great you were, the excellent music you played and how you kept the dance floor hoping all night! The fact that you even allowed my Dad to play some of his own personal CD's was so awesome! He still talks about how great that was. You truly made our party ‘our party'!

We wish you nothing but success! Andrea & Jeremy

--------

Just wanted to write a note to say how extremely happy we were with the service you provided for our wedding reception on xxxx xx, xxxx at the Lord Nelson. After meeting with you the first time we walked away both saying how impressed we were with your professionalism and we were also very impressed that you took the initiative to contact our venue on your own to discuss matters with them.

The day of, you were there setting up early before any guest would arrive and then when the time came for the ‘main event', again, you did not disappoint! You chose perfect music for both the cocktail hour and the dance! You knew (more than I did) how to read the crowd and when we left the reception only about 15 minutes before it was all over, the dance floor was still full! Many people commented to me on great the DJ was and I promptly agreed and told them how impressed we were with your exceptional service!

You put us at ease from the first time we met and you show pride in your work. I would gladly recommend Brooks DJ Entertainment to anyone in the future!!

Thank you for being an integral part in us having the ‘party' we always wanted!

Allison & David
