We were absolutely blown away by the quality, professionalism and talent of Michael Duncan at Miked Up Productions. From the first time we met, up until the day after our wedding when he was still at the venue taking his equipment down, he had a smile on his face, a fun attitude and was just an all around great experience to work with. Our wedding was on New Years Eve and Michael went above and beyond to create the exact mood and atmosphere we were hoping for. The ceremony was all winter wonderland and romantic with soft acoustic remixes of popular songs, microphones to project our voices to our rather larger crowd and snow machines to create a fun recessional. He was the most excellent MC, guiding us through all the important moments of the reception and then proceeded to host THE MOST incredible dance party that went ALL night! Our dance floor was packed with our guests of all ages! He was able to play the perfect mix of old classics, new popular music, country and everything in between with seamless transitions and fun remixes. I was thoroughly impressed with Michaels ability to read the crowd above all else, he seemed to know what we wanted to hear before we had a chance to make a request! Not to mention the extremely impressive lighting equipment he brought with him to create our exciting New Years Eve party!! And we didn't even take advantage of all Michael has to offer in terms of services!! To say that we were satisfied with our experience is an understatement...we would book him again and consider him one of our best purchases for our wedding day! It would not have been the same without him! read more

I met Mike after the DJ we had booked bailed on our wedding less than a month beforehand. After calling around for a couple of days, I was referred to Mike by several people and finally made the call. All I can really say is that it was one of the best wedding decisions we made. Mike went above and beyond to take care of us and make the process as stress free and easy as possible. Not only was the process easy, but Mike is just a stand up dude in general and make working with him cake. He gave us an easy packet/questionaaire to go through our music needs and preferences for the night, so when the wedding rolled around it went off without a hitch. From the wireless mics for the ceremony, the speeches at the reception, accent lighting to match our venue, and dancing at the end, we didn't even have to think twice about what was going on. Then, to top it all off, he showcased his real talents for the dancers that night. He kept the party going until nobody could stand, playing one perfect song after the next, all while taking our requests and even tossing us a mic for a little sing along when we wanted. Our friends and family couldn't stop talking about the DJ, and I'm sure regardless of these reviews he'll have plenty of new customers after our wedding. Mike and Theresa made this wedding more than just a wedding, and I couldn't be more thankful that our original DJ bailed on us last minute! read more

Working with Michael is one the best decisions we made during wedding planning! From start to finish Michael was a true professional. He listened to our musical tastes, asked the right questions to make sure he understood our vision and came through with great recommendations for our layout (to ensure the flow was right.) More than that, Michael (and Mike'd UP Productions) are a full service operation! Our wedding venue in Portland Oregon was non-traditional (Yale Union) which meant we had to source in everything ourselves (including lighting). Michael not only DJ'd the event but provided all the lighting - from uplights to cafe light strings, his creativity and expertise made the large warehouse space feel warm and welcoming to all our guests. People were dancing THE WHOLE NIGHT. It was not just our friends on the dance floor, Michael created a vibe that kept all generations up and on their feet - it was really amazing. We would recommend Michael without hesitation, you can stop right here - you have found your DJ! read more

Michael at Miked Up Productions is a professional and fun DJ to have at any wedding, bar, or whatever the venue/event may be. He has a large music library that helps him stand out in a crowd of typical DJ's that sound like you're listening to the radio. You will never have this feeling when listening to Michael DJ. Lighting setups that Miked Up Productions has for venue shows and weddings are amazing! Michael can turn any dark, ordinary stage into an amazing show that will really make your band stand out from the rest. Also, the lighting that Michael can provide at a wedding helps set the mood for the ceremony with uplighting and helps keep the party going throughout the reception by lighting up the dance floor. If you're looking for a DJ or a light guy, Michael is your guy! read more

Miked Up productions was easy to work with and went above and beyond my expectations. I was able to go from a traditional, rustic wedding ceremony to a swanky, upbeat reception. They were able to play all of my requests; from my OCD order of the ceremony, to the obscure metal my husband and groomsmen insisted on moshing to. Our tastes were specific and an odd pairing however the music flowed all evening. The lighting was also fantastic. Red lights gave the room just the perfect feel I was going for. Mike and his lovely assistant were able to work well on their own which was necessary when my flowers did not show up and I was making my bouquet moments before walking down the aisle. No matter you event, Mikedup Productions will bring you event to the next level. read more

What wonderful things can I say? Mike did a FANTASTIC job. I was extremely nervous about getting a DJ for my wedding reception because (like every other bride) I felt I had a lot of demands. Mike really made my fears just disappear though. Every time we spoke he was very understanding and very willing to find random songs and make last minute changes. He was very punctual and professional. I can honestly say not one person in attendance complained. Everyone thought he was on top of everything. I really was much more than pleased with the service I received and I didn't feel like I was being robbed either. If another event comes up where a DJ is needed, this is the first name that's coming out of my mouth. THANKS SO MUCH!!! read more

Services used: wedding reception DJ, ceremony music, lighting My husband and I recently used Michael for our wedding. He was organized, extremely knowledgable, helpful at every step of the way, and played exactly what we wanted. He worked with us to develop the perfect musical background to all parts of the wedding - ceremony, cocktail hour, reception. We had a few unusual requests, but he met them exactly, and added a great mixture that fit well. He also provided lighting for our reception, adding a great touch to an already beautiful venue. It was just enough, and exactly what we wanted (even though we didn't know what we wanted at first). We couldn't be happier with choosing Michael! read more

We are beyond thankful that Mike was the DJ for our wedding. People of all ages told me that this was the so far beyond the best dance party they had ever been to at a wedding. Our dance floor was packed until the very last song and I am pretty positive 80% of our guests were on the dancefloor all night. I looked up in the middle of dancing and actually thought to myself "Oh my gosh. I can't believe this is actually my wedding." Beyond his ability to pack the dance floor Mike is incredibly professional, comes with some of the best equipment you can buy (seriously, I know quite a bit about this stuff) and can handle any situation. Do yourself a favor and hire him. read more

Mike from Miked Up Productions DJ'd our wedding at the Fremont Foundry in July 2015. He was the absolute BEST! We had 120 people of all ages and he generated the best dance party that I've ever witnessed at a wedding. Our guests were raving about the music selection for days after the wedding. He worked really well with our music request list and also blended in his own selections, which were right in line with our music taste. He was super easy to work with! Music matters a lot to us and Mike more than exceeded our expectations! Thanks for making our wedding incredible! read more

I have attending events where Miked Up Productions has done the lights and music and I have been very impressed. I would highly recommend him for any event that you may need a dj or lighting for. Michael is a very professional person to work with and gives a unique show for each and every client. So if you are shopping for a dj for a special event or if you are a band looking for someone to do your lighting or fill in time between your sets then Michael is your man...give him a call and see what he can do for you. read more

Michael is just what our wedding needed to take it to the next level. I am pretty particular when it comes to guest experiences at an event and I knew I didn't want some speakers in a corner playing 'whatever' type of music all night for my own wedding. Michael was sooo much more than that! Our dance floor was packed all night long, he did a great job of keeping us on time and really led us through an incredible night. I highly recommend Michael - 100%. read more

We had Michael at Miked Up Productions as our wedding DJ and were very impressed. He did an amazing job at making sure all of the music was perfect and what we wanted for our special night. He was very flexible in our changing our minds on song choices and knew of great songs to use that were not over played. The best part was how reasonable his prices were! Definitely recommend Miked Up Productions for any DJ need out there! read more

Miked Up productions did my bands CD release show recently. Did an AMAZING job. Mike worked with the venue to best maximize the experience and make things easier on the band. Worked hard to build a program based on the songs we were playing and made it a very hassle free experience. Punctual, friendly, and PRO. Being in the music business for over 10 year, Miked Up Productions was the best lighting/tech I have had, to date. read more
