“Hi Michael, we wanted to extend our heartfelt thanks for the spectacular job you did on our wedding. When we were in the initial planning stages, we asked our wedding planner who the best DJ is and they had one answer: Michael Coombs. We now know why they said that.
You did an absolutely perfect job on the reception and the introductions. Our biggest fear was an empty dance floor, but it was full all the way until the end. Thanks for being part of our dream team, and our only regret is that we don’t have another wedding to hire you for! Our advice to any couple who is getting married is simple: if you want the best, hire Michael Coombs!”

Do you want to have a packed dance-floor at your wedding? Then, be on it.
On your big day, your guests will gravitate to where you are. If your at the bar, they’ll be at the bar. If your out on the terrace, they’ll be on the terrace. If your getting down on the dance-floor and having an absolutly amazing time, your guests will join you there and be as excited as you are.
“We received so many compliments about you from our guests and everyone had so much fun. We could have danced all night! As our MC, you were extremely professional and ran the introductions, speeches and announcements perfectly. We couldn’t have been happier with your services. Thank you again!”
Kristy & Chris Cutler
One of my amazing couples of 2012, who I DJ’d and MC’d for, Kristy & Chris, got their Wedding published in Wedding Bells “Special Edition”. Check the spread below featuring some of my favourite Toronto wedding pros: Cynthia Martyn Events, Fusica Designs, Bobbette & Belle and Graydon Hall Manor.

“You really made the party an amazing time, the vibe, energy and overall music was just perfect! Thank you!!!
Deborah Gee, Head of Sales, Oliver & Bonacini Events
It’s always an honour when your asked by event and wedding industry colleagues to perform at their own event, and for the second year in a row I was asked to DJ the Oliver & Bonacini Award Ceremony and Holiday Party held at the Steam Whistle Brewery in Toronto.
Over 400 of their employees came to dance their pants off and they didn’t disappoint! This party is one of my favourite events of the year and by looking at the photo’s below, shot by the amazing duo of Lauren & David of Oink & Coo Photography, you can see why.
“He created an amazing energy for the entire evening. Our guests did not want to leave the dance floor. It was a highlight that our friends and family are still talking about. Thank you Michael!”
Jennifer Botterill & Adrian Lomonaco – Married May 5, 2012
Jennifer is a 3 Time Gold Medal Winner and 5 time World Champion with the Canadian Women’s Hockey Team
I had the pleasure of being introduced to Adrian and Jennifer by Toronto celebrity wedding planner, Melissa Andre, and from the first meeting I got the sense that they wanted to have the party of a lifetime, and that’s what they got!
They held their wedding at Touchstone Resort in Muskoka and the amazingly talented Rebecca Wood was brought on-board to shoot the event and she captured it perfectly! Below are the party shots, but to see the whole wedding, check Rebecca’s blog.
It’s time for the Most Requested Songs of 2012 courtesy of yours truly. This year, we got some House, Hip Hop, a couple of classics and some bubble gum songs that got parties rocking all year. Let’s get right to it starting with number 10…
Yeah, yeah, I know what your saying “Seriously, One Direction???” But this song had people going nuts and screaming the chorus like it was House of Pain’s “Jump Around”. Everyone has a guilty pleasure and this was one of many for 2012.
This brings me back to my club days. With the melodic chorus, funk beats and dope rhymes courtesy of Mr. Christopher Wallace, how could you not be “hypnotized”?
Everyone has a guilty pleasure song, and this is mine. Funny enough, Canada’s kid station, YTV, has been blasting it well before it hit the main stream and my daughters have been singing it for the last year. But it’s catchy and one of those feel good tracks. I always smile when it’s requested at a party.
Love it or hate it, no one can deny that this song is everywhere and has everyone trying to do the dance…but just can’t get it right. Yet, it did fill dance-floors instantly and was requested more then any other song in 2012, which is what makes it number 1!
“Our favourite aspect of working with Michael was the effort he put into getting to know us as a couple, as well as our bridal party. The introductions he created for our grand entrance were perfect (and hilarious!) Michael does a great job of guiding the evening’s events without being intrusive, and knows how to keep guests of all age on the dance floor throughout the night; our guests danced the night away until the lights came on! We had many people comment afterwards that they loved the music, and had a great time at our wedding.”
