ABOUT:

I have been involved with music all my life from youth. I love working with music and entertainment. I have an excellent knowledge of music and I travel with a 2000+ song library ranging from Nat King Cole to Lady Gaga. I will select just the right music for any particular moment. I have many years of experience working with wedding clients. I enjoy making sure the bride, groom family and guests are having a great time. I get great pleasure from seeing them celebrate and create fond memories.

I have experience working with large sound systems. You will be amazed at the incredible clarity and depth of the sound. All types of music sound great on my new system with high powered subwoofers. I love to travel to resorts throughout the Western States or special locations for weddings and events.

- Wendy Buck Benge, October 31st, 2009 Mountain Springs Resort Plain, WA

"Michael, thanks for Making our wedding such a perfect event. The music was perfect as we sailed around the Puget Sound on the Royal Argoy Cruise ship. Your misuc selection was right on for the ceremony and for the reception. We loved the beautiful music for dining while we enjoyed the views and the dancing music had everyone out on the dance floor. Thanks again for your excellent work, we highly reccomend you to anyone planning a wedding or other event.
