I was first referred to MLS Sound Services and Michael by a friend. My husband and I hired Michael to do the sound and lights at our September wedding in Monterey. Michael does not disappoint! I got in touch with Michael via phone and our phone conservation was lovely! He was super friendly, professional, and very helpful. I honestly did not know what we needed in terms of lights and sound, and he was able to assist with all of that. His emails and invoice statements were very clear and detailed, and nothing was confusing. Not only did Michael work with me, but also my wedding planner. He was super easy going when working with my wedding planner. My husband and I had certain songs that we wanted played during our wedding ceremony, and Michael was super receptive and made it all happen. We copied links of the songs that we wanted and he downloaded them himself with no other requests.
The day of our wedding, Michael was on time with a bright smile on his face! We had never met Michael prior to our wedding, but when we did, we were greeted with a such an energetic positive presence, that we knew having Michael do the lights and sound was a great idea. The ceremony sound was perfect. It wasn't too loud or too quiet. Often times during a wedding ceremony the sound can be either, and it was just right. He played the music that we had requested perfectly (to the minute,) and it only made our ceremony that much more beautiful.
Our reception was beautiful! The uplights that Michael had used were breathtaking. Lights can do a lot to a room, and the atmosphere wouldn't have been what it was, had it not been for MLS. During our reception we had a separate MC and DJ. That can be a lot of cooks in the kitchen, but Michael was super easy going. He was clear prior what his roles would be for the ceremony and reception, however he didn't hesitate to help when needed. Our MC was a friend, and when our MC friend was having some jitters, Michael said he could do it. Thank you Michael for easy our minds during that whole time. You were soo friendly in such a mildly chaotic moment, that we knew that we had been well taken care of. Our MC friend did end up MCing, but Michael stepped in when needed to help support.
The reception itself was ridiculous!!! We had such a great time and the sound and lights really brought everything together when we were on the dance floor. The set up and break down for Michael was great too! He was a one man show that day, but was extremely punctual and positive.
We are so lucky to have been introduced to Michael and MLS Sound Services. Sound and lights are things that can really help create a intimate atmosphere at a wedding. We didn't realize how helpful it could be, until we experienced it all. Michael was so easy to work with, professional, punctual, and super friendly! We will definitely be asking Michael to help us again if we ever need his services. read more
