Mike was the BEST. We got nonstop compliments on him, and our wedding truly wouldn’t have been the same without him.

Mike Carcano was an AWESOME DJ for my daughter's Bat Mitzvah. He kept the party going all night - it was awesome! We were thrilled and will plan to book again for my son's event in three years!

We hired Carcano DJ for both DJ and lighting services at our wedding, and both were terrific. People stayed on the dancefloor all night, and the space was beautifully lit. Would recommend Carcano to anyone!
Our venue recommended Carcano DJ and EVERYONE had a blast! Luke was the best and we loved that we were able to get a bilingual DJ for our family and friends. They made the song selection process so easy with their timeline layout we just needed to add the songs we wanted making it easier for us and Luke for the itinerary for the night. We had a call meeting going over the finalized details and they really made me feel at ease knowing everything was confirmed and we were all on the same page. They are the best and kept us dancing the night away!

Ryan did a fantastic job at our wedding. Super easy to work with and did a great job as MC and DJ. Leading up to the wedding we were busy like all couples are and gave him very little to no info, sorry Ryan. He never bothered us to fill out his form or added any extra stress but he was always available to us for anything we needed at any time leading up to the event. He checked up on us often and asked if we needed anything, in which we said “no we’re good, we’ll fill it out soon.” We ended up completing it like a 12 hours before the wedding and he hopped on a quick call for name pronunciations and made sure we were comfortable, answered all our questions and said we’re good to go. He then processed to KNOCK IT OUT OF THE PARK the following day. Ryan made our wedding day nothing sort of incredible. Thank you sir!!
10/10 would recommend and use him again for ANYTHING I ever needed a killer MC/DJ for.

Mike was the BEST. We got nonstop compliments on him, and our wedding truly wouldn’t have been the same without him.
From the start, it felt like he was our badass uncle rather than a stranger we met through the wedding planning process. After just three meetings together, he somehow completely grasped our vision and all of our weird requests for how the day would run.
He is so much more than a DJ—he literally ran the show and took all the stress and nerves off of us so we could actually enjoy our wedding. We are eternally grateful.
I told him that I hate dancing; I am 30 years old and have never stepped on a dance floor. But somehow, his energy and song selections hit me so deep I couldn’t help myself and didn’t want it to end!
200000/10 would recommend for any event! The absolute best in the business.

We booked Carcano DJ for our wedding reception because they were recommended by the venue. We are so glad we did! Ryan did an amazing job as our DJ and MC. He made it clear in our first conversation that we were the focus and he would be playing the music WE wanted. Their app was straightforward and easy to organize our timeline. Ryan called the day before to go over the whole evening's timeline. I'm so glad he did as we had a few last minute changes. The night of the reception he kept the energy up the whole time. Ryan played the right songs at the right times to keep people on the dance floor. We even had guests who normally wouldn't dance out on the dance floor because the music was so good! I wanted a particular wedding game played and he did a great job directing it. It was so much fun watching and we had a lot of participation! So many guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to! Would definitely recommend Ryan and Carcano DJ to others!

We were recommended Carcano DJ by our wedding planner and they did not disappoint. From our initial meeting with Michael at their office we felt very taken care of. Not only do they DJ but we were able to have the dance floor of our dreams with our monogram on it. Ryan is so professional and organized. At the wedding he was great! Kept the dance floor going. Next party will 100% be hiring again. Cannot recommend enough!

Bryant Caravia9 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Bryant has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
WOW!! DJ Mike Carcano absolutely crushed it at our wedding on June 21st at Lido House in Newport Beach! From the moment we started planning, he was all in helping us build the perfect playlist, setting up incredible lighting and decor and making sure every detail matched the vibe we wanted. But what truly set him apart? The man jumped on the drums and jammed live with our Arabic percussionist! It was electric!
Mike flawlessly blended our cultural backgrounds, Diane’s Jordanian roots and my Cuban heritage and created an unforgettable party that brought both families together on the dance floor all night long. Everyone and I mean everyone raved about him. His energy, professionalism, and creativity were next level.
He didn’t just meet expectations he blew right past them. Mike’s officially our DJ for life. If you’re looking for someone who brings the party, reads the crowd, and genuinely cares look no further. Can’t recommend him enough!
