Mike and his team were amazing!! They were so fantastic toner with, and our friends and family are still talking about how much fun they had. BOOK THEM!!! They're the best. read more

It was such a pleasure working with Mike and we appreciated how organized and professional he is - there was never any stress during our event. The timeline he helped us create was very beneficial for us and all other vendors we worked with. Also, every guest we talked to was raving about how awesome Mike is and how much they enjoyed the music! It made our wedding so special and SO much fun! The music and experience of working with Zegi really was one of the best and smoothest parts of our wedding. I would highly recommend Zegi to anyone needing a DJ for their event. I could go on forever about how awesome the experience was. read more

Would recommend to anyone and hire again. Zegi was great to work with, super responsive, and helped make our wedding night exactly what we wanted. So many of our guests said he is the best they've seen read more

We had already been to a wedding before that used Zegi so we knew the experience would be good, but even we were amazed at how great they were! From pre-planning to day of, Mike was incredible. During the early stages, he worked with us to figure out what package would best suit our wants as well as our budget. All of his gear is top notch and he has all the stuff to accommodate whatever your event requires. When it came to the actual day of our wedding, the whole team at Zegi was incredible. They showed up early, had all the stuff setup quickly, and were friendly and professional the entire time. We had various locations at our venue as well as several cues within our ceremony. Everything went off without a hitch and Mike was on top of it the whole way. Lastly, I would say the main reason we picked Zegi to work with was bc of our affinity/trust in Mike's music taste and abilities. He was super helpful in working with us on the front end to build out a vibe of songs we liked for the dance part, and then on the day even surprised us with some incredible song picks we hadn't even thought of. We also had several changes in schedule to things we had planned and the whole team at Zegi was able to accommodate those without any hesitation or trouble. Could not recommend using Mike and the whole team at Zegi enough. I don't think I'll ever be getting married a 2nd time, but if I do, you better believe I'll be using Zegi again! read more

When planning our wedding reception, we knew that music would be one of the most important parts of our experience. We immediately knew that the Zegi team would be the perfect fit to make our night amazing. Mike was organized, collaborative and helped us craft an incredibly special evening. He understood our vibe and took the time to review our inspiration playlists, and worked with me on a good flow of events. He also helped us pick out an ensemble that would make it extra special - including percussion and sax. He worked with me to keep the sax a surprise from my fiance to make the night extra special. We got so many compliments from everyone - including our friends, bartenders and photographers - on how much fun and how good the music was. You can't go wrong with this team! read more

My wife and I were putting together a milestone birthday party with a lot of moving parts...like a mini wedding. :-) One of the key ingredients was music! We messaged/emailed a couple of DJs and Mike (the only one) asked if we could have a short call to talk through what we wanted. Literally 30 seconds into the conversation, I knew we found the right person. Mike was so calm, so organized, he took our all over the place thoughts, organized them, AND fit them all together despite them being multiple genres and age groups.... Mike was the consummate professional and kept in contact with us up to the day, showed up two hours early for setup and sound check, and also was incredibly approachable for anyone that wanted to hear ANYTHING else on the playlist. Mike gave us music, lights, shout outs, and we made several obligatory speeches. Mike handled everything sound related, kept us organized, and kept people moving for the entire party. If you skipped all of the above - hire Mike. It will be set it and forget it. He did an incredible, ultra professional job and people were dancing all night. You can literally her him and not have to think about the music again until you are dancing at your party. I look forward to the next opportunity to have a party and at least the music will be the easiest part. read more

From the moment when reaching out to Zegi, they have been super responsive and helpful getting us prepared for our event. The DJ we were paired with, Chris, also reached out directly the week before our event and walked through the flow of the night. The day of the event, we got a call from Chris, who showed up 1.5 hours early, got setup, and walked through the flow of the night once more. Once the music started, literally everyone was asking me where I found this DJ -- everyone loved him! Super professional, dependable, easy to work with, and amazing at reading the crowd and shaping the mood using the music he was playing. Thank you! read more

We hired Mike as our DJ for our Highlands, NC wedding and it was one of the best decisions we could have made for our big day. We are based in Boston and, leading up to the wedding, Mike was super knowledgeable and easy to talk to as we expressed what we envisioned for our wedding. Mike not only mixed, timed and played all of our music for the ceremony and cocktail hour (which in itself was an event because we had dancers perform) but he also MCed and played a set at the reception itself. Mike is a top-notch professional DJ - his mixing and timing were absolutely flawless. Volume was perfect for each occasion. He worked closely with our band to make sure everything transitioned smoothly - they were a great team. Mike is the best - hire him, you won't regret it!! read more

I basically just let Mike play whatever killer music he wanted to at my wedding all night and the party was amazing. Hire him immediately!

Mike is awesome and he did an amazing job DJ'ing our wedding. Also the live drummer package goes really nicely with the music for dancing. We selected the live drummer and it was an great combination with a great DJ. read more

How lucky we are to have found Mike Zarin. After meeting and listening/going to see Mike at the Music Room-- we were sold. If you are looking for the ultimate dance party-- Mike is your man. We had a 300-person wedding-- which presents a formidable challenge to keep the bride and groom on the dance floor (the "hello"s and "thank you for coming"s are seemingly endless) but Mike played SO MANY undeniable jams that we couldn't help but say, "I'm so sorry-- but this is MY SONG, I gotta dance" and to our bewilderment, each song was better than the last in the perfect sequence of building energy. Months before the big day, Mike sends you a document with three categories "Must play"; "Please play" and "Absolutely do not play" -- he sends it to you with plenty of notice because if your family is anything like ours, good (or terrible) song ideas come up in the most random conversations, and its fun to have a final resting place of where the songs you absolutely want to hear will be guaranteed to be played. Furthermore, Mike was unbelievably flexible with my ever-changing mind on father/daughter dance and first dance songs. He even created CUSTOM remixes for our first dance song to incorporate an acoustic version that flowed perfectly into an upbeat version. Finally, and most importantly, Mike has his own style and aesthetic-- and it's one you can trust. He exudes absolute professionalism and originality. HE IS THE ABSOLUTE OPPOSITE OF CHEESE. Certainly no awful lighting, no puns, no bad jokes, no overtaking the microphone-- he is everything a classy, quality, authentic ATL-DJ should be. He is confident without being even an ounce pretentious. And he has a sense of calm about him that made even the most anxious bride (me) feel at ease. We would hire Mike for our wedding one hundred times over (and have already been asked by SEVERAL friends for his contact info for their weddings.) read more

See all

I found myself in a bind and hired Mike Zarin blindly under the recommendation of my wedding planner and could not be more pleased! He was extremely professional, organized, a great communicator and.... a mind reader. He played exactly what we requested and filled the gaps with songs I forgot that we loved so much! I am in my early thirties, my groom in his early forties so guests (co-workers, college friends, etc.) varied widely in age and taste in music--- all complimented us endlessly on choosing Mike. My biggest fear was a cheesy wedding DJ or an extreme over the top club DJ that was trying too hard. Mike was neither - he was the perfect balance. Looking for a way to plan another big party so we can hire him again soon! PS - My new stepchildren ages 12 and 14 think I'm "cool" because I chose Mike, so I know I did something right! read more

We used Mike Zarin as our DJ for our wedding in Atlanta on May 5th. This guy is awesome! I could not have been more impressed. From his sense of humor to his song selections, it was obvious we made the right choice in selecting him as our DJ. If you are looking for a DJ for your wedding, look no further than Mike Zarin. He is as good as they get! read more

Mike and his team were consummate professionals and extremely easy to work with for our wedding. We had pretty specific ideas of things we specifically wanted to hear at different times from the ceremony, to the cocktail hour, dinner and, dancing. Mike was extremely easy to collaborate with via Spotify and nailed all of our requests. He was seamlessly able to run mics for the ceremony and speeches and was able to provide great lighting for the reception on short notice. He also flawlessly handled changes between different spaces for the different portions of our event. He was easily able to pick up the vibe from our suggestions and improvise to flesh out our suggested playlists. I highly recommend Mike and his team for any event. They know what they're doing and will make sure everything goes off without a hitch. People constantly ask us who the DJ was, which is obviously a good sign. read more

Mike did such a great job at our wedding and was such a pleasure to work with! From the very beginning of the experience to the end, he exhibited so much professionalism, timeliness, care, and expertise. Each request or question I had, he handled with so much tact, thoroughness, knowledge, and care. The wedding day was handled perfectly, he had everyone out dancing, regardless of the age and did a great job incorporating all types of songs and vibes to make the reception unforgettable. We had so much fun!! I already have people telling me how great he was and asking for his contact information! read more

Where to begin... Mike absolutely KILLED it at our wedding. We had a really diverse guest list, and he got everyone out on the dance floor and having a great time. We received so many compliments from our guests. Mike Zarin is a true professional- a pleasure to work with. He took all of our thoughts and ideas and created the perfect music experience for us and our guests. Don't hesitate to book him! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Mike. First of all, he is extremely professional, on-time, and incredibly responsive. We used him for a corporate VIP event at the High. He picked the perfect mix for the event, was able to keep the energy up for the entire duration of the event, and even created a custom mix for the client. Everybody loved working with him, and the event was extremely successful. He was a recommendation of a colleague, who had used him at her wedding. She raved about him, so I reached out to him for our corporate event. I am so glad she recommended him, and would also recommend him for any event, personal or corporate. He is able to adjust the music and the mood based on your (or your client's) personal style perfectly. read more

Mike Zarin was an amazing hire. He came highly recommend by a wedding vendor. Mike truly listened to everything my husband and I wanted and did so much more. Mike was super helpful in the whole planning process and helped us choose some great songs for our ceremony. Mike was very flexible, professional, and fun! He and my wedding coordinator kept me on my timeline all night and kept everything running smoothly! He really did make us feel as if he wanted our special day to be OUR day, and unique to us in every way! Our reception was unbelievably fun and we are so glad we booked Mike for our wedding! read more

Mike played the best music for our 70s theme party. His music choices were "right on." He also rose to the challenge of working with our Elvis impersonator. Mike greeted our requests from other eras with enthusiasm and played that music. He kept the party going. Hope to have him at more events in the future as he is very responsive, flexible and a pleasure to work with. read more

Mike did an amazing job at our wedding in October. He is by far one of the best dj's and all of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the music and dancing! He worked with us every step of the way to make sure that the music reflected our style and would still be fun for everyone. All of our vendors remarked on his professionalism and ease to work with. This IS the DJ you have been looking for :) read more

Mike Zarin and our DJ, Danny, did a great job with our event. We already had gotten married and we were having a big party for our friends and family, and Mike quickly understood the more informal, "block party," feel we wanted for our event. Everyone had a great time at the reception. Danny even had a polka to play for the Polish in - laws. If I ever have the occasion that requires a DJ, I would undoubtedly contact Zegi. read more

Mike Zarin & the Zegi team's performance at our wedding exceeded all expectations we held. Along with flawless execution of our ceremony, Mike was able to read our crowd throughout the evening during the reception to keep them extremely entertained, filled with energy, and on their feet most of the night. Mike's attention to details, timelines, and his ability to customize his performance to fit his customers' needs make him extremely unique in the highly competitive wedding/event entertainment arena. We recommend Mike to fulfill your musical and emcee needs at your next event, whatever style it may be. read more

We had a terrific experience with Mike and Danny. Our wedding was a 350 person event in Macon. Handling the business side of hiring Danny went very smooth. Mike is quick to respond in communications. The actual reception could not have gone better. We didn't have a cocktail hour and then dinner. The reception was cocktails and heavy appetizers. I say this because Danny had to get the party started from the beginning. He did a great job engaging all ages. The dance floor stayed packed all night. Highly recommend Zegi for your party needs! read more

Being introduced to Mike was the one of the biggest points of relief throughout our wedding planning process. Music has a lot to do with where my husband and I had so many memories at the very beginning, and making our wedding the best compilation of our music style and taste throughout the 6 years we've been together was one of the most important details for the big day. He always had flexibility to work with your schedule to meet and keep the ball rolling on planning. Mike really understood what we wanted for our guests - and for us - throughout the entire evening, and he did an amazing job. It's been a few weeks since our wedding and we're still getting compliments on how awesome DJ was and how the music selection was so thoughtful and tailored. Mike's the best! Christina Del Rocco DiLegge read more

Mike is the perfect Atlanta wedding DJ you are looking for! I was so relieved when I found him and was so happy during and after our reception. As previous reviewers have stated, he sends you a google doc to organize your song wishes but hearing of how great of a DJ Mike was at reading the crowd I tried not to give him a full playlist and limited the songs I put on the "must play list." I could tell he really listened to the type of songs, artists and music we enjoyed for his selections. As the evening went on he adapted the music to the crowd and there was never a lull between songs so you never got tired of a song because it was on to the the next one with often great mixes. Mike = great skills, zero cheesiness. Do yourself a favor, book Mike and check this off the to do list! read more

Mike did a great job with our wedding. We had a very diverse group of guests and he was able to read them and get them dancing in no time. He also did a great job announcing our reception and keeping the do not play songs away. Your DJ can make or break your event, and we recommend him highly!! read more

Mike Zarin was a pivotal reason for why our wedding was so great! The dance floor wasn't empty the entire night, and I've been to more weddings than I can count, so I know that's rare. We only listed a few "must-play" songs and let him know that after the parent dances were over, we wanted a party...and he did the rest! During the wedding planning process he was very helpful. He was flexible for meeting times whether it was a phone conversation or the venue walk through; and the process of picking songs, payment options, etc was very streamline and simple. If you want to have fun at your wedding, you're going to want Mike as your DJ. read more

Many times weddings are full of awkward moments, bad music and empty dance floors. However, Mike Zarin did an amazing job of setting the tone and keeping things moving smoothly. From the great laid back mixes of cocktail hour to getting everyone on the dance floor, including mothers, aunts and uncles, Mike did an amazing job of creating a fun vibe. While many wedding DJs would talk too much or play the same songs you hear at all the weddings, Mike kept it fresh and managed to pull out a lot of songs I knew I wanted but never told him. That's Mike Zarin: DJ, MC, Party Director and part time Psychic. read more

Mike is tied for first place with Altmix for best vendor at my wedding. He was the epitome of professional and fun. My wedding was on a Sunday night so the crowd was a bit more mellow than expected, however Mike embraced this and gave us an amazing playlist and endless energy whether there were 3 or 30 people on the dance floor. He listened to my music recommendations but managed to craft a fun and perfect playlist that I didn't have to micro manage. Any future event that needs music of any kind, I know where to look. Do yourself a favor and book Zegi. Can'y say enough good things about this experience. read more

Mike would get 10 stars if the website allowed it. We hired Mike to DJ at our party this past weekend. I had been in contact with him since April. Not only was he extremely accommodating he delivered exactly as promised. He knows how to read a room and a crowd so well. If you want a blast and a solid music experience at your next function, I strongly advise hiring Mike to be your DJ! read more

When I started the search for a DJ for our wedding I was completely discouraged by the cheesiness my google searches were yielding. I did not want that at my wedding. Then a wonderful florist highly recommended Mike Zarin of Zegi saying "he's got a really cool vibe about him." I emailed him immediately, he responded that day and we set up a time to chat. Mike was super personable and made me feel at ease seeing as I live in New York and the wedding was in Georgia I knew we wouldn't meet until the big day. We made a timeline together over the phone, using his documents I sent over the info he needed and then wedding day approached. Mike is not your typical wedding disc jokey, as my brother said it best "this guy is real deal! " Without exaggeration Mike has got to be one of the most talented djs out there. He doesn't just play music, he gets music and he mixes music that I didn't know could be mixed. He spent time before the wedding going over my song requests and it meant a lot. Everyone was impressed with his talents and his overall presence. On our honeymoon when we were reminiscing about our wedding Mike Zarin's name kept coming up. My husband and I were just so blown away. He made the night so much fun and I can't wait for the opportunity to see Mike mixing up tunes again at my next wedding jk. But maybe a crazy baby shower.

Mike Zarin rocked our wedding! From the initial planning and conversations to the wedding night, Mike was an absolute pleasure to work with...in addition, he's an amazing DJ and emcee. We gave Mike a challenging list of requirements that included integrating Latino music, a first dance medley of 3 songs, and a few classics that needed a charge-up. Mike flawlessly executed and exceeded our expectations, and nearly everyone at the wedding was like, 'that DJ guy, yeah, he like, rocked...wish he DJ'd my wedding.' Thank You!!! read more

Mike was a fantastic DJ. We gave him very little direction - we like funk and motown and would like people to dance all night - and he just ran away with it. He kept the energy level very high and made a fantastic selection of songs, and our guests repeatedly mentioned to us what a great job he did. He was very easy to work with and generally did a great job of dealing with our pre-wedding neuroticism. He also went out of his way to smooth a potential sound problem with the venue for the ceremony, which helped enormously. read more

Zegi is great. We hired Mike for our wedding and he was fantastic. My fiancee and I knew we wanted a good DJ for our wedding. I started looking early, calling and emailing several Atlanta area DJ's. Mike and I hit it off right away. He is very prompt and succinct in answering questions, returning emails and phone calls. He is very professional. Unlike some of the other DJ's I contacted, he was not pushy in getting us to sign a contract, or include any extras. He was totally focused on working with us to give us exactly what we want, within our budget. Once we hired Mike, the process was easy. We had a few conversations with him to set the tone, overall goals, and few special custom details we wanted to include into the event. He has a simple system to set up some "must-play" "like-to-play" and "don't-play" songs prior to the event. While we did utilize those song lists, we knew it didn't have to be comprehensive and we did not spend a lot of time making a "play list." Part of hiring a great DJ is having the trust to know that if we want to hear A & B, he knows he can mix in X, Y, & Z. He was even flexible and skilled enough to accommodate a last minute, during-the-event song request into the very well mixed grand finale. Zegi is talented enough to play at several venues and clubs around town. He's not your typical wedding DJ. But he also was so professional and humble during the whole process. He always showed up on time, was very polite, and earned the respect of everyone involved. The southern conservative mothers loved him, the 93 year old british grandmother loved him, the venue representative loved him, and the wedding coordinator loved him. We love him and can't recommend him any higher! read more

I was not impressed with this DJ. I hired him based on a few other recs online, but it was a HUGE disappointment. We found that he largely ignored our instruction at the wedding. On your special day, you don't really want someone who ignores your wishes. He also did not deal with confronting him very well. He ignored a feedback email and just largely managed the post event very unprofessionally. I work in the industry and have hired many DJs around the country (although not in ATL), and this was a disappointment. I would not recommend this vendor or hire them again. read more

I saw Mike Zarin DJ another wedding I had attended, and immediately wanted him to handle all the music at my own wedding. From the moment I started working with Mike, I knew I could completely trust him to handle everything and my anxiety vanished. He took into consideration everything that I wanted and loved about music, and then incorporated it into his own very well-formulated plan for our wedding. Music was the number one most important thing to me for the wedding, because I truly wanted everyone to get up, dance, and have a blast. I had people from all ages, ethnicities, and backgrounds. Mike not only took my preferences into consideration, he read the crowd,and played the music they also loved, keeping everyone up and partying until the very last minute! Any music that was important to me but might not have been considered "traditional wedding music" he still managed to fit in somewhere or even find me an alternative version, which really meant a lot to me. Also, unlike many vendors, Mike was extremely accessible, whether through phone, email, or texts! Zegi has an amazing approach to the music scene, extremely professional, organized, and experienced. Anyone who truly loves music and wants it to set the stage for their event should definitely choose Zegi! Thanks again Mike!! :) read more

If you are looking for the best DJ in town to completely blow away your expectations of how much fun your wedding can be, look no further than Mike Zarin. Mike came highly recommended from pretty much all of our vendors, but of course we had to meet him first. Music is a big part of our lives, and you could tell from our first meeting that Mike got it immediately. He made the planning process simple, and you could actually feel his passion to play great music that keeps people on their feet. After my bride and I greeted our guests, we headed out to the dance floor and did not leave until the final song. I cannot tell you how many compliments we received on the song selection and flow of the music. Two of my out-of-town family members went so far as to find out if Mike would travel to other states for engagements. You are completely missing out if you do not pick Mike to celebrate with you on your day! read more
