I normally don't write reviews, but had to for DJ Mike. DJ Mike really excelled at our wedding. I can't stress how important it is to have a professional who knows when to play the right type of music. Our reception was a non-stop party, and DJ Mike was the reason it flowed so well. I was really surprised with how much time and effort he put into planning and organizing before the wedding. He demonstrated to us that this wasn't just another gig for him, and he truly cared about delivering the performance we wanted. He showed a real understanding for what we were looking for, and helped us with so much more than just music. From ceremony planning to remote microphone and speaker setup, music selection, arranging, editing, timing... he really did it all and we couldn't have been happier. Everything unfolded perfectly and you're simply doing yourself a disservice if you don't ask for DJ Mike. FIVE OUT OF FIVE STARS! read more

Live Oak DJ - The party got started! - DJs Near Me - Austin, Texas

See all

Ray was great! Spent a lot of time with us before the wedding planning out what songs we wanted to hear (and what songs we didn't) - also did a great job reading the room throughout the night and matching the songs to keep folks (of all ages) on the dance floor as the night went on. Technically everything went really smoothly as well! read more

I would hire Jaime Diaz to emcee my life. Jaime provided the music for our wedding ceremony and reception in late January. He worked with our venue's day-of coordinator to ensure our processional songs were in order and had his equipment setup before the guests started arriving. We provided him with a couple dozen of our must-hear songs, and they were all played! He payed attention to our genre requests during our consulting call about a week before the wedding took place and did a great job incorporating those requests, too. We rearranged a couple of reception agenda items (e.g. cake cutting), and Jaime kept all of our requested songs and announcements in order with its corresponding event. He was super organized and so pleasant to work with. read more

THANK YOU SOOOO much for being so awesome on our wedding day!! DJ David did it perfectly and we had so much fun that night! The wedding was so busy but in between when I got to catch my breath, I loved all the music you played. You did exactly what I wanted and so much more! On the dance floor everyone loved the old school hip hop! I'm so terrible with names there were a lot of great throwback songs I didn't even remember and loved it!. You really nailed it! The wedding was magical to both Brandon and myself-and everyone knows its the ambiance created by the music that really does it-so wonderful job! Thanks again for everything!! read more

Live Oak DJ was a pleasure to work with throughout the planning process of our wedding. Shay was very user friendly as we requested a quote and additional pricing information, and DJ Ray was very helpful along the way and especially on the day-of. The pricing is reasonable, the service is fantastic, and the online playlist planning tool was helpful and included ~95% of our song choices (the others were secured after requesting). DJ Ray was professional and very accommodating throughout the reception, and was not gimmick-y or overly animated (by request, I'm sure they could accommodate if you wanted jokes, etc.) He had everyone dancing almost all night, including my wife who literally ran to the dancefloor across the venue at one point. All-in-all, we were very happy with the services provided from quote to close, and would recommend them to any future couples! read more

We used Live Oak DJ to hire Jaime Diaz as the DJ for our wedding this pst October. We would highly recommend doing the same. The company was professional and Jaime had a great personality and was adaptable. When plans changes, as they sometimes do, Jaime was always prepared to take charge of the crowd and keep everyone entertained. Live Oak offers the ability to add recommended songs to a list and they also have a list of "do not play" songs. This was really helpful and made our reception and cocktail hour personalized. If you are looking for a DJ for your wedding, get in touch with Live Oak and ask for Jaime. read more

We had the privilege of having Mike M as our wedding DJ. He was friendly, knowledgeable, professional and so talented-he had the dance floor packed the whole night! We went over the type of music we wanted played and not played-he was very thorough and communicated with us throughout the planning process. You can tell he is passionate about music and he helped our wedding be a success! Best decision! Highly recommend! Will definitely use for any future celebrations! read more

We booked Live Oak, specifically DJ Mike Marischen, to play our December wedding. I can recommend both Live Oak and Mike without hesitation. We were slightly hesitant about hiring a DJ since we had already hired a band and just wanted a DJ to fill in between sets and after they finished, as well as to keep things moving on schedule. After our first meeting with Mike, we were sold. Mike spent more than an hour with us during our first meeting talking about musical tastes and our vision of the event generally. After booking Mike, we met with him two more times. He was very patient with us as we laid out our pretty specific music requests. I felt really comfortable throughout the whole process and Mike was a pleasure to work with. We were pretty hands-on with the music selection, and he was very accepting of that. The final meeting was very detailed, and he was very good about confirming all the details so everything would go smoothly. We made heavy use of the online planning tool, which was very helpful during our final weeks before the event. The price paid for Mike's services was very reasonable. The price included multiple planning meetings and all of the necessary equipment, which included some dance floor lighting. The sound system worked great in our larger venue. He brought along a second PA for the front of the venue to use during the cocktail hour prior to the reception. Mike's performance during the wedding was better than we could have imagined. He was very skilled at reading the audience and atmosphere and responding appropriately. He stuck to our requests, but was also able to add things that reflected our tastes. He stayed away from our stated dislikes, even to the point of somehow evading a drunk cousin's boyfriend's multiple requests to hear the cupid shuffle. We are beyond pleased with the result of our decision to hire Mike. He was as much of a hit as the band. If you're looking for a DJ for your event, you cannot go wrong with Live Oak DJs, especially Mike. read more

I highly recommend Live Oak DJ, and specifically DJ Mike Marischen. The onboarding process was smooth; Live Oak DJ got back to me right away when I inquired about their services and I quickly had a call with Mike. Mike was a great DJ for our wedding. He was professional, organized and talented. He was active throughout the planning process: we had two meetings with him prior to our event to go over music preferences and day-of timeline. He was super accommodating: I had a ton of requests for specific songs throughout our event, and he played them all. By the time I got to the venue, he was already set up and ready to go. He prepared the officiant's lapel mic and mic stand for a reading we had. During the reception he was able to keep the energy on the dance floor high. He was good at making announcements throughout the reception; he was never overbearing or attention-seeking. Overall, we were super happy with our DJ. Since the event, we've even had friends and family make comments to us about how much they liked the music and how well they thought our DJ did. Thanks Mike! read more

This is the first yelp review I've ever written, but It's very necessary. DJ Jonathan was absolutely AMAZING at our wedding! Everyone who attended the wedding said our DJ was the absolute best and that it was the most fun they've had on the dance floor in ages. People that never dance got up there because they couldn't help themselves. From start to finish DJ Jonathan played awesome music that made the ceremony/cocktail hour flow nicely and most of all he had the dance floor packed from start to finish. My wife and I are very picky, but are huge music lovers. We wanted to make sure we heard certain songs throughout the day and DJ Jonathan made that happen. DJ Jonathan was nice enough to meet with us a few times leading up to the wedding to discuss what songs we wanted, didn't want to hear, when we wanted to hear them etc. To make it even easier Live Oak DJ has a very user friendly interface on their website that lets you enter songs you want to hear or even don't want to hear. I honestly can't say enough good things about DJ Jonathan and my wife and I are so happy we chose him to DJ our special day. We're currently trying to think of an excuse for another party to have DJ Jonathan because he was just that good. Our wedding was the most fun I've ever had and DJ Jonathan played a huge part in that. Super nice guy and Live Oak was great to work with as well. read more

Live Oak DJ was an excellent choice for our wedding day. The office was prompt with responses and easy to book and our DJ (Bradley Payne) was fabulous. DJ Bradley Payne was (no kidding) THE BEST. We planned things from out of town, but he always made himself available for a phone call or email. Plus, he met with us in person three days before the wedding. We gave him a list of music we wanted played pre-ceremony, during the ceremony, during dinner, and during the dance portion. He played exactly what we wanted (he bought songs he didn't already have - but he had 95% of them already) and he suggested other songs that were great additions. Our wedding had an epic three hour dance party and Bradley ordered and mixed the songs in the best way possible. No one stopped moving and every transition between songs was perfect. In fact, several wedding guests have asked me for the play list Bradley created. He was also great at making announcements (e.g., cake cutting, toasts, shuttles leaving, etc). Bradley showed up early and stayed late. He was on point in every way. Live Oak and Bradley are professional and easy to work with. I highly recommend them. THANK YOU!!!!!!! read more

DJ Mike was the man. He is so thorough in his approach and is very skilled at what he does. The Live Oak DJ site allows you to easily build a list of songs you would love to hear played, like to hear, and definitely don't want to hear. That, combined with the two or three consultations you will have leading up to your wedding, means you will get exactly what you want when it comes to the big day. DJ Mike, on top of being a talented DJ who was able to get and keep everyone on the dance floor, was also just a super nice guy. Can't recommend him enough. read more

I'll admit I was skeptical about hiring a DJ for our wedding ("why not just use a Spotify playlist" I naively said), but now I can't imagine our wedding without it! Mike was a kind, thoughtful, talented professional who took my wife & I'd eclectic tastes into account while also providing incredible dance tracks that kept the dance floor grooving LONG into the night. He was also kind enough to mic our officiant for the ceremony, invaluable for getting married in a large outdoor space. What more do you need to read? Hire a DJ - and make sure it's Mike! read more

My husband and I found Liveoak DJ in the beginning of our wedding vendor search, and are both so excited that we did! We worked specifically with Jonathan and he was EXCELLENT!!! He met with us on 3 different occasions to make sure everything was lined up perfectly. The day of the wedding, he showed up early to set up, kept the flow of the evening moving, and played a great variety of music. Working with Shay, the event coordinator at Live Oak, was also very easy. She was quick to respond to emails and very helpful with any questions or concerns we had. I will most definitely recommend Live Oak DJ and more importantly Jonathan to any of my friends and family for DJ or photo booth needs in the future. read more

My wife and I booked DJ David Miranda from Live Oak DJ to play our wedding in late February. We were very impressed with everything from start to finish and we recommend David (with two thumbs up) to anyone on the hunt for a DJ. We were not sure we wanted to hire a DJ because of the expense, but having been through the experience with David, we wouldn't do it any differently if we had to do it again. David is incredibly professional and met with us multiple times to get a feel for what we wanted. The nicest part was that we didn't have to micromanage anything. Once David knew where we wanted to go with sound and flow of the night, he took over and used our suggestions to build an outstanding playlist/itinerary. The website that is provided by Live Oak for couples/event coordinators is difficult to understand at first, but once you've got the hang of it, it makes planning your event much easier. David actually input a good deal of information based on the meetings we had. It's also worth saying that David was dressed to the nines for our wedding. We really appreciate that he cares about his appearance and considers style a big part of his presence. We had multiple guests comment on the overall beauty of our wedding and the professional dress of our sound engineer. Great sound, great personality, great leadership and excellent attention to detail. Nice work, David and the Live Oak DJ team! read more

Jacob from Live Oak was an amazing choice for our wedding! He met with us multiple times in advance to make sure he really had a grasp on our vision for the wedding music. He was the most organized person we dealt with during wedding planning, it was a breath of fresh air. He always responded to emails and phone calls quickly. he guided us toward all the music we needed to select for the event. The day of he was super prepared for everything and went above and beyond to run our wedding slideshow for us. He did the ceremony sound as well. Everyone commented how great the music was! We enjoyed every minute of it. Going in to wedding planning, everyone warned me that DJs are "flaky" and don't care much about your event. Jacob blew that stereotype out of the water! The only annoying thing about the whole process is that their music selection system online is a little clunky and we accidentally deleted our music choices a couple times. Overall, I can't recommend DJ Jacob and Live Oak DJ highly enough! read more

David Miranda at Live Oak was beyond amazing at our wedding!!! Our top priority at our reception was to have a throw down, awesome dance party and David totally made that happen for us. We had an eclectic crew and he got everyone up and dancing, all friends and even older family members, mixing hip hop, indie, latin, and old school music to suit everyone. He also kept our reception on schedule and moving forward, as we didn't have a wedding planner or day-of coordinator, he was tremendously helpful in that regard as well. We consulted with David beforehand as we initially were looking for a bilingual DJ, as many members of my husband's family speak only Spanish, but in the end we ended up choosing David as he was the whole package and then some, and he even used our given translations during his emceeing to keep our Spanish speaking guests included and pumped up - he was freaking awesome!! My father-in-law was on the dance floor most of the evening as were people we rarely see dancing - made for some very memorable moments and videos! We are so glad we found David - he is incredibly talented and an all around super nice guy to work with, he consulted with us on several occasions before the wedding and made sure everything was as we imagined and more - thank you so much David!!! read more

Booking our DJ for a company event was easy and our DJ was great leading up to the event. Perhaps I was expecting too much, but I wish our DJ had done a bit more than just play music (and text), like pep up the crowd (or else I would have saved $700 and plugged in an iPhone). I would recommend the service again, but should you choose to book, be more vocal than I was about your expectations. read more

I researched and researched and researched DJ's for our wedding. At first I was hell-bent on getting a band because I thought all DJ's are cheesy. After realizing no band could possibly play our mix of music - old country, jazz, rock, little bit of a reggae - and do it well, I decided I would find a DJ that wasn't ridiculous. I spoke with about 10 people or more before I spoke with Live Oak DJ and I must say, I was losing hope. I'm not a fan of flashy, swirly lights that you buy at Spencers and I was very picky about what the lights and DJ set up looked like. From the start, Live Oak seemed different. They weren't cheesy, they didn't have uber cheesy pictures on their website of their DJ's and I decided to go with them. I ended up getting matched up with Mike M because they thought he would be the most "our speed." It was a dream! Speaking with him on the phone right after I chose them just really made me feel so comfortable. He explained how the whole process works and what to expect and when to expect it. They even give you an account where you can plan out all your music, intros, special moments and make lists of songs you love, songs you like and songs you don't want anywhere near your venue - and they stick to it. I was very serious about not wanting YMCA, Macho Man, the Chicken dance and other such horrors played at our wedding. Mike was great, he geared everything to our tastes, which range quite a bit. Each song was hand picked and I had so many guests come up to us and comment on how great the DJ was and the music selection and that it all seemed so "us." A lot of times you go to a wedding and if you close your eyes, you wouldn't be able to guess whose wedding you were attending. With ours, everyone kept saying they just knew we picked every song. We met with Mike a few times before the wedding to discuss our expectations and work up a timeline and even met another time to walk the venue. I didn't want to work with a wedding planner and I planned the entire wedding by myself with the help of the vendors. Mike was one of the ones that went above and beyond - he helped me tweak and perfect the timeline. We had a ceremony outside, he provided the mike, speakers and everything for out there, we had a cocktail hour inside the mansion- where he provided everything there as well and then we had the dinner/reception in another room of the mansion and he had a whole other set up in there. He really did a great job and had a seemless transition into everything. He helped keep the entire event on track and moving. The day of, as we were setting up - we were supposed to brief the ushers on when they needed to signal the music change for the ceremony and he decided it might be easier to have his wife come help and he asked if that would be ok. I said of course, and my goodness, she was lovely. She was dressed so nicely and helped the music stay on track for the ceremony and let the wedding party know when to walk and the spacing. Even in the reception she was running back and forth asking me if requests that people had would be ok to play. She was a dream to have! What a wonderful couple! I was so worried about the lighting but he assured me they would be extra mellow and unobtrusive and he was perfectly correct. He did a great job of having a little bit of lighting that pointed on the floor of the dance floor and slowly rotated. It was perfect! I'm so impressed with how well he tailored everything to our needs and our tastes and he just exceeded what I thought was possible for a wedding DJ. Absolutely don't use anyone else but Mike. If you want a classy event, he's the guy to go with. He helped me pick ceremony music and had excellent suggestions and they were perfect for us. He then had the cocktail hour as an upbeat jazzy cocktail feel, dinner was a more mellow spanish guitar and some of our more mellow favorites and then he started out a bit slow and rock n roll/jazz on the dancing and as the crowd dictated he amped it up or slowed it down. He really read the crowd and went with the flow. It was amazing! I could really go on for hours but I would never feel like I did him justice. It was truly perfect. People are still talking about our music and it's been a month! Mike - I can never truly thank you enough. read more

Mike Marischen was the DJ we used for my daughters wedding. The open dancing started at 7pm and went until almost midnight. At that time the dance floor was still packed. Hardly anyone left he reception early. That was in big part to the awesome job Mike did! He was able to read the crowd perfectly and kept the party going. I had so many people come up to me afterwards and tell me that was the most fun wedding they'd ever been to. Would definitely use Mike again! One more daughter to go! read more

We hired Ray of Live Oak DJ for our wedding (09/08/12) and he was AWESOME!!! He even had my husbands 80 something year old grandfather out on the dance floor. I really can't thank him enough for making our special day a huge hit! I will highly recommend him to anyone in need of a DJ!!! Thanks again Ray!!! read more

DJ Jaime made our day so special. We were nervous to hire a DJ, but he was such a kind and calming presence on our big day. We gave him a few ideas of what we like and then he was able to fill in the rest for us. He was so receptive to what we wanted and our guests had nothing but rave reviews. read more

My husband and I worked with Ray from Live Oak DJ for our wedding in March 2014. From the get go Ray and his staff were extremely responsive (both over email and phone) to questions and song guidance for various parts of the ceremony and reception. Ray worked exceptionally well with our wedding venue event staff, officiant, wedding party, and photographer. Several times throughout the reception, the timing of events were moved (cake cutting, bridal bouquet toss, etc) and Ray adjusted the flow of the music and openings flawlessly. Ray and my husband and i met twice before the wedding to go over music selection and flow of both the ceremony and reception and the events went off without a hitch. Ray showed up several hours before the ceremony to set up and brought extra mics for the officiant and individuals giving toasts. Thanks Ray for your wonderful services! read more

I recently got married and had DJ Ray from Live Oak DJ. He did an amazing job! We met with him once before the wedding and then made song and timeline requests through the Live Oak DJ website. The night of he was very professional and courteous, and definitely played to the crowd. He was very appropriate with his timing and music choices and made sure everyone was having fun. DJ Ray took a lot of stress off of my shoulders and did so at a very reasonable price. I'm so glad we went with him! read more

I am extremely delayed in writing this review, but better late than never right? We worked with Jacob on our 2.16.13 wedding at Mercury Hall. He was awesome to work with right from the beginning. During our two meetings he came with ideas and recommendations to help me make decisions. I really appreciated that his recommendations came from his experience as a DJ at other weddings, but also his own. I gave him an extremely random list of songs because I love anything from boy bands to country to hip hop. He did a great job of mixing things up and my friends danced all night long. Even my photographer mentioned how much people were dancing. I was very thankful to have him has my DJ. Jacob also gave my grandpa a clip mic to wear during the ceremony (my grandpa officiated) so everyone could hear what we were saying. Jacob set it up so we'd have music outside for the ceremony and cocktail hour and had his main setup inside Mercury Hall. Everything went very smoothly. I would highly recommend him! It's also important to mention that Shay made the whole process of booking, paying etc. very easy! After planning your wedding you'll realize how some vendors can be unprofessional about that, but no worries here. Always quick responses to all my questions. read more

We found David Miranda through Live Oak DJ and we are so glad that we decided to hire him for our wedding! He met with us several times to go over the music choices and timeline and his service was fantastic. David mixed in our favorite songs and the mood was just right for the ceremony, cocktail, and dinner. Our guests had so much fun dancing until the very last song. He really made our big night memorable! Thank you!! read more

I cannot say enough good things about DJ David Miranda! Let me start by saying, the day of my wedding was full of stress -- everyone was running around like chickens with their heads cut off (I decided not to use a wedding coordinator). I planned the entire thing from the vendors to the timeline. David was amazing because he somewhat took the place of a coordinator. I gave him my timeline and he stuck to it. Anything that he was unsure of, he ran by me. That being said, I think both of our lives would have been easier that day if I had used a coordinator, but overall, everything ran smoothly and everyone had an amazing time. I received SO MANY compliments on the music thanks to David. I've never seen so many people out on the dance floor at a wedding, and it was MY wedding, which was awesome! Everyone had so much fun. David was professional, thorough, and super friendly and personable. He can take anything that's thrown at him. I highly recommend using DJ David Miranda at your wedding or event!!!!! P.S. Live Oak DJ has an awesome online planning platform and music database that allows you to add music that you want played or do not want played. David did an awesome job playing the majority of the music that I had on my list. THANK YOU DAVID!!!!!! read more

DJ Sean G did a fantastic job dj-ing. Was able to easily change paces, incorporate a random request from my mother, and kept the party dancing all night, fast and slow--- as well as announce the different events/flow of the evening. The photobooth was also a major hit that everyone kept going back to, plus we got the digital copies at the end of the night. Both services were affordable, easy/stress free, and we have no regrets. read more

Was very disappointed in the outcome after spending a lot of money. DJ was not in-synch with either the ceremony or reception. Mic's and music cut out. Hard to work with. Couldn't download music I wanted. Added fees at the end. The only negative comment I got from people was how poor the DJ was. DJ Sean was gracious in calling me and discussing all the hang-ups I had. Part of the problems stemmed from not living in Austin and not meeting with the DJ more than once prior to the wedding. It's imperative that the DJ attend the rehearsal. read more

We booked Mike Marischen with Live Oak DJ for our March wedding...it was by far the best decision we could have made!! Mike will go above and beyond to make your wedding perfect. You do not have to be an expert on music for him to completely understand what you want your wedding music to be like. He was always professional, easy to work with, and reliable! He made our wedding so much fun and we are so thankful to him! If you go with Mike, I promise you will not be disappointed!! Thank you again Mike for helping to make our wedding so perfect!!!!!!!!! read more

We were really happy that we picked Mike Marischen to DJ our wedding and reception. He was personable, organized, and thorough and kept people on the dance floor all evening. He met with us in person twice to go over what we wanted, and he was also prompt & responsive over email. He played the songs we wanted and avoided the ones we didn't, announced everything without a hitch, etc. We recommend him without reservation! read more

I hired Sean from Live Oak Photo Booth for a surprise birthday party. I was a little leary of getting my money's worth for 50 people in the 40-60 year old age group. Boy was I wrong. The photo booth was a huge hit and served as an ice breaker as many of the party goers did not know each other. The photo booth equipment and props were in good condition and there were no technical issues of any kind. Sean was there to guide us through the entire process. It was fun to get pictures on the spot and to be able to see all of them on line. We have already made a DVD and have a great keepsake from the party. The photo booth was a great addition to our party and I will use them again. read more

DJ Ray was our wedding DJ and he did an excellent job! We did not have a large number of guests but he was still successful in getting people out on the dance floor. I was especially impressed with DJ Ray's selection for the cocktail/meal music. DJ Ray's communication skills were pretty good too! Price was reasonable. read more

My now-husband and I had some terrible luck with the first two DJs that we interviewed for our wedding - so bad that we were searching Yelp reviews on our phones for other DJs during the interviews! That's how we came across Live Oak DJ. We were matched with DJ Mike Marischen. From the first time I met with him in a Westlake Starbucks I was extremely impressed. Mike came prepared with a layout of our venue and a printed copy of the (outdoor) venue's sound ordinance. The fact that he'd done his homework for his interview really impressed me. Down payment was easy, and because we are Type A planners we had him booked a solid 9 months ahead of our wedding. He let us know when it was time to start getting serious about selecting some music for our playlist. My husband is big into all the genres that don't really work at weddings (read: obscure indie music) and does not know any current pop music. I, on the other hand, knew that we had to find something that people would recognize, so that they'd dance, but was also wary of Top 40 music. And I am known to go into rage fits over popular wedding choices like line dances (looking squarely at you, Cupid Shuffle) and drunk-college-kid sing-along songs (hate you too, "Sweet Caroline"). And then we had my mother-in-law requesting "It's Raining Men" and other such cringe-worthy hits. Mike somehow found a way to juggle all of this and put together a playlist that got absolutely everyone at the wedding to dance - my parents, our friends, some distinguished UT professors; seriously, people who I thought I would never, ever see dancing at our wedding were on the floor all night long. We trusted Mike to field requests from people and he didn't let us down. I am happy to report that our dance floor was packed all night with no Cupid Shuffle, Kool & The Gang or "Sweet Caroline." We selected only about half of the songs he played, and told him we'd trust his judgement on the rest. He didn't disappoint! There wasn't a single song I didn't like. Mike also did an awesome job as an emcee. He checked with us in advance to make sure he had name pronunciations correct, didn't forget anyone or any announcement, and corralled all the cats for our first dance and cake cutting without being cheesy at all. He put together a playlist of obscure indie music for dinner hour, and it was perfect. My husband loved it. I think the best testament to Mike's prowess as a DJ came from our best man, who said when I found him staggering across the dance floor about 2 hours in, "I want to sit down so badly...but your DJ just keeps killing it. I can't leave this dance floor." He totally did kill it. You can quit searching now and book DJ Mike for your wedding. Trust me. read more

We hired DJ Mike Marischen for our wedding and couldn't be more pleased! Music is what we cared about the most as we wanted our guests to let loose and have a good time that evening. We had several phone and skype meetings with Mike leading up to our big day. He was always organized and made us feel like we were his only client. He was so fun to work with and took direction very well. We wanted an eclectic mix of 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, country and even current hits and he seamlessly tied every song together. Earlier in the night he started with music that he knew the older crowd would enjoy while the younger generations were at the bar. At one point I remember feeling like our friends were all ready to move to the dance floor and Mike effortlessly switched up the music and we stayed dancing the rest of the night. It was such a joy to look around and see all ages screaming out the lyrics and dancing together! I've been to many weddings where the music either makes or breaks the reception and DJ Mike helped us have the party we always wanted. We keep hearing how fun our wedding was and I sincerely give credit to Mike for that. He guided us on our ideas and was honest on what would and probably wouldn't work. He even did a beautiful job editing our first dance song to take out a long instrumental piece. And quickly switched the version of the mother-son dance at the groom's request. DJ Mike was also incredibly responsive and professional in all of our communications. At the end of each meeting he told us the exact "next steps" and would always send follow up emails as reminders of what information he still needed from us. One of our concerns early on was having a DJ that was too vocal and he assured us that, unless his client wants him to, he stays off the microphone outside of the major announcements. He was always attentive and confirmed with us that we were happy with requests as long as it made sense at the time. When an immediate family member requested a slow song when the entire crowd was enjoying dancing at a faster pace, he made sure to ask us first since he knew it would change the vibe. I am thrilled we found DJ Mike Marischen -- his work ethic is incredible and he made our reception one we (and our guests!) will never forget! read more

DJ Sean was the DJ at my best friend's wedding on May 19 at Hummingbird House. My best friend and her fiance had moved away about a year before the wedding so I handled the DJ meetings for her. I met with Sean and he was incredibly honest and not pushy at all, like other DJs I'd met with. He is knowledgeable & I really liked how familiar with both music and local Texas/Austin music he is. Overall, Live Oak was great & easy to work with. The wedding day finally arrived & Sean didn't need anything from us and just kept the great music going & I'm sure he took some requests because the dance floor was never empty! I highly recommend Live Oak DJ, they know what they're doing & you can trust me because between my best friend & I, we're extremely picky! read more

Mike was an incredible DJ at our event in Austin. We had a large group of around 200 at a restaurant bar/lounge and he was so accommodating to our song preferences and even willing to show up when he had gotten into a car accident earlier that day. Mike is so sweet and we wish he was in Los Angeles so he can DJ at our events in the future. 100% recommend Mike!! read more

Mike from Live Oak was our DJ for our wedding reception... we could not have been happier to have him be a part of our big day, he was so awesome! He did everything we asked... we were very specific about the flow of the evening, the music selection and the amount of announcements... he respected every request and kept the night flowing perfectly! Mike was such a pleasure to work with, he was very professional and he took his job very seriously and spent a lot of time with my husband and me outlining our plan for the evening. We highly recommend Mike for any event! He really rocked our wedding and kept the party on their feet the entire night! read more

We had DJ Mike for our wedding and he was awesome. He was extremely professional and always very responsive with email. He made sure to play everything we asked him to play and nothing we didn't want, and he was just great at reading the crowd. I would have felt comfortable even if we had had no requests at all. Definitely worth it to have him. Thanks Mike! read more

It's no surprise these guys get 5 stars from all the reviewers. They know how to make a party happen. We used them for our December 2013 wedding and the one thing I wanted was everyone dancing and having fun. I definitely did not want the same type of music playing over and over again. Our DJ, Jacob, did an amazing job making sure everyone wanted to dance. The place was rockin from beginning to end and everyone had an amazing time. I truly feel our wedding could not have been successful without him. If you want an awesome, fun and successful party definitely hire these guys! read more
