Troy Michael Wedding DJ

Troy was our emcee and DJ for our wedding and he made our wedding the best party I have ever been to. He knew how to work the crowd with the flow and music and I danced the entire night along with most of the guests which was my number 1 goal. He can read the crowd well and when he feels the crowd is tired of a song he will switch it up keeping everyone interested. He is a bit more costly than most but well worth it! Thank you!

DJ Troy is truly the best! Troy was our DJ/​Emcee for our wedding at the Kahala Hotel in August 2015 and having him as our DJ was the best decision ever! From our initial meeting with him, he was down to earth, friendly, and very professional. He even offered to help me edit my father/​daughter dance and first dance songs, which were a mash up of multiple songs.
Aside from sending him a list of song requests prior to the wedding, we pretty much left the playlist up to Troy, and I am so glad we did! He really knows how to read the crowd and seamlessly transition from song to song and organically get everyone onto the dance floor. As an Emcee, he is tasteful, not overbearing and does not steal the limelight. He brought foam glowsticks that were a wonderful addition to the party. Even the kids were having a blast. So many of our guests have complimented us about how great the music was and how much fun they had! I highly recommend hiring DJ Troy for your special day.

DJ Troy Michael made our wedding the best time of our lives! He did a truly amazing job with the music, and his professionalism and deep knowledge of all aspects of planning a wedding ceremony and reception made our day perfect. He played such great music during the reception that nobody wanted to leave the dance floor! We highly recommend DJ Troy Michael.

At the time, we were new to the area so we had to rely on «word of mouth» or other people’s reviews when choosing a DJ. Like anyone, we focused on those with 5 stars. After reading the reviews we had to give Troy a call. Soon, we would find out why he had five stars. He was very accommodating from start to finish. His experience shined through as he was able to give recommendations to the timeline, wedding games/​dances, and assist with music for choreographed dance routines. You name it, he can provide insight. Not to mention he was also the MC and worked extremely well with our coordinator. The music selection was also fabulous as he stayed within our requested genre and he definitely kept our guests entertained. There a lot of DJ’s out there but Troy is more than that — he puts a lot into accommodating his clients.

BEST DJ ever! Kept our wedding guests of all ages on the dance floor all night, broke out glow tubes which added more energy and excitement to the evening! During dinner he played the perfect background music that added to the ambiance. Thrilled he was available for our daughter’s wedding!

I am a wedding coordinator and I have to say, Troy is one of the BEST. You are truly fortunate if you are able to book him for your special day.
I was blessed and was able to have him for my own special day. What people STILL compliment me on, is how much fun the wedding was and how GREAT the music was!
I’ve already known from past experiences with working with him, but seeing it in action is amazing. He truly does know how to read a crowd and keep everyone dancing. Piece of advice: do let him know your general likes/​dislikes but leave the dancing portion up to him. He really does know what’s best!!!

I would absolutely recommend booking Troy Michael for you DJ/​emcee needs. He just did our wedding reception on 9÷19÷14 and I’m here to sing his praises. The reception ran flawlessly, his uplighting looked amazing and he got everyone on the dance floor and having a great time! Even before our wedding, he was great to work with-​meeting us in person and over the phone to make sure every last detail was covered. He is a little pricey, but I would say well worth it! Thank you Troy for everything!!!

Troy was the DJ/​emcee at our wedding at the Halekulani over Labor Day weekend and did a fantastic job. We had him run a few slide shows (rented his projector as well) and also rented the photobooth from him. Out of all of our excellent vendors, he was one of the most pleasant to work with. He was also on top of everything — as a Type A person, I appreciated that there was none of this «aloha time» that I experienced with some of my other vendors. He communicated details and asked questions along the way to make sure that he really understood the event that we were trying to create. He did a great job of managing me and my husband (we’re both CEOs and love good upward management :)) to get what he needed from us.
My only regret is that we didn’t take his advice in terms of layout (and he has tons of great advice on the overall event – listen to him!). We had the bar outside which created «2 parties» as he warned… our guests are more drinkers than dancers so he didn’t get as much love as we hoped… other than that, he did a great job listening to our music preferences and reading the audience.
Don’t hesitate – hire Troy!

Troy did an amazing job during our Labor Day wedding– 9÷1÷14.
He was very professional and helpful during the wedding process. His site was extremely user friendly that allowed us to select the playlist for the wedding.
The guests kept saying how the music was «on point.»
Thanks Troy for truly making this day the most memorable of my life.

DJ TROY is the BEST!!! I am beyond thankful for all of his wonderful work and suggestions with our wedding. He is talented in music, lighting, MC’ing, and going above and beyond.
As a bride, we want to be in control and tend to stress over details, WELL, let that ALL GO and TRUST DJ Troy to navigate. He knows how to read the mood of a party and choose the appropriate music to keep that fun flow going.
Not only does he know music, he suggested our beautiful blue, violet, up-​lighting which he strategically placed in the ballroom. My husband and I were thrilled because he was right, it made our wedding photos brilliantly beautiful.
Also, I can’t thank him enough for giving a helping hand in organizing our wedding itinerary, going over how to pronounce certain names prior to the wedding, and just giving a lot of AWESOME suggestions my husband and I overlooked.
Hands down DJ Troy is the man!!! He really truly enjoys what he does and it shows. Our wedding, honestly, would have not been the same without DJ TROY. He is worth every penny and more.
Did I mention he has a sexy MC voice. Oh man, go DJ TROY!!!
We adore you,
Rosa and James from California

There’s not enough great things I can say about Troy. We just got married at Kualoa Ranch this July and Troy not only met, but greatly exceeded all of our expectations. He is a consummate professional who knows exactly how to get a party started and keep it going. We did a brief meeting with him a few weekd before the wedding but largely left the playlist up to him. He got everyone out on the floor and kept them there all night with a mix of music from the 60’s all the way to today’s hits. Just when you thought the party was peaking, out come the foam glow sticks — the kids (and kids at heart) absolutely loved them. I had numerous people come up afterwards saying how great the Dj was. Worth every penny! If you want to avoid the stress and anxiety associated with how your DJ will perform on wedding day go ahead and book Troy! Can’t thank him enough for the great job he did at our wedding!

Troy Michael fantastic job at our wedding. He was very accommodating with us and our very specific Disney playlist, dinner and dance needs. We thought the balance and diversity in genres was perfect — there truly was something for everybody which was important to us since we didn’t want to alienate any potential dancers.
My dad’s friend specifically mentioned the fact that he was so grateful that the music wasn’t blasting in his ears throughout dinner. My parents and their friends have been to so many east coast weddings where they can barely talk to the person next to them because the music is too loud, believe it or not. I guess it’s a New Jersey and New York thing — not surprising.
When the dancing got serious, Troy brought out foam glow sticks! It was so unexpected but added so much and we have great memories and photos. As weird as it is, I think it made people feel more comfortable dancing too.
He had our names in lights on the tent ceiling which was a nice, unexpected treat. The uplighting was wonderful. The lights really leant themselves to the perfect, magical glow I was hoping for.
We are still getting rave reviews from our guests. Troy made the night special and stress-​free for us.

Loved Troy! He was funny and accommodating. He came highly recommended from my wedding planner and after our intro phone conversation, I knew that he would make sure that my day went as perfectly as possible. He even allowed me to sing on my entrance to the reception!
Troy is amazing! You will not be disappointed!

Troy has great reviews for a reason. He is AWESOME. He did a great job with the timeline (my wife and I were too busy to check the time) and he had so many creative ideas throughout the wedding that kept it interesting.
He is extremely flexible. we changed the procession last minute so that we could do a surprise dance down the isle and he didn’t seemed phased by it at all. Not only that, he executed it perfectly.
DANCING. Okay, if you want a dance party, Pick Troy. He literally got everyone who was able to dance out onto the dance floor and kept them there the whole night. Out reception tent was practically empty because everyone was packed onto the dance floor. At one point he unpacked a box of lighted foam sticks that immediately spread like wildfire onto the dance floor and all you could see was a sea of lights bumping to the music!
His lighting was great, his timing was great, his ideas were great, and in short, he was great! We told Troy we wanted a dance party and he brought it. Thanks Troy!
Pick Troy, you’ll be in great hands and won’t regret it one bit.

Our son got married in Oahu 12.7.13. He and our DIL hired a wedding coordinator there in Oahu who… in a nut shell, was subpar and was fired a few short weeks before the wedding and we needed a DJ.
From the moment I talked with Troy, on the phone, I had a good feeling. I could tell he knew, and loved, his job! He graciously accepted to be the DJ at their wedding and did an amazing job! He talked with the bride and groom to discover a little about who they were as a couple, and what their dream was for their wedding. After sharing the few special songs (i.e. first dance, father/​daughter dance, mother/​son dance) they trusted Troy and felt comfortable enough to give him full control of the music selection. No chicken dance or YMCA! The bride’s father was so impressed he couldn’t stop talking about how great the music selections were! Score! As the evening progressed, Troy’s selection of music drew everyone to the dance floor. Thanks Troy for helping to make this very special day even more special!

Like any normal couple, we got a few quotes from various djs and from reviews we booked Troy in a heartbeat. He was extremely organized, helpful and professional. While I was hoping he would play a bit more current music, he managed to get the whole dance floor grooving. Mine you I had over 150 guests ranging young to old and yes just about every person was on the floor.
He was pricey compared to some of the other djs, but I justified his cost for the awesome reviews that he has not just here on Unilocal but in the forums as well. His equipment was flawless, I definitely appreciated his lapel mics since it made all the difference in the pictures during the ceremony. As for rest of the evening, it was great! His set-​up was swanky, clean and was lit up to match our color scheme. I wasnt expecting lightening of a plumeria on our dance floor so I appreciated that whether that was a normal practice of his or if that was on the house sort of thing. I couldnt believe how much fun everyone was having and perhaps the word fun is understated here. Some people had too much fun that a dance train started, lol.
Finally, he did mispronounced one my bridesmaid name. Her name wasnt anything difficult to say but I guess he couldnt help but call her Twinkie when it was Twinkle. Aside from that book Troy, he really does an amazing job and all the reviews you see here states how awesome he is!

Troy Michael DJ helped to make our wedding reception a tremendously fun event. When we were shopping around for wedding DJ’s we contacted Troy and he promptly responded. When we first talked you could tell Troy was a professional and took his work seriously because he asked us questions to figure out our music tastes, what kind of crowd we would have, and most importantly what we wanted. He also gave us advice and recommendations that would have been helpful even if we elected to go with another DJ. After a few days and discussions we decided to go with Troy. Early in our wedding planning process we planned to give our DJ a list of songs however because Troy made us feel comfortable in our conversations we regrouped and gave him full control of the music selection with only a few recommended songs.
Once we got closer to the big day Troy contacted us and ensured everything was in order for his equipment setup, the first dance music and the timeline for the reception.
On wedding day everything with Troy went smoothly and there were no setbacks or malfunctions.
How did Troy perform? It sort of felt like one of the weddings you see in a movie where everyone who you expect to be on the dance floor is out there initially but because of the awesome music and mixing very quickly the entire dance floor is packed. Troy absolutely nailed it and everyone had a blast thanks to his DJ skills.
We received numerous positive comments from friends and family because of how fun the reception was and that is almost entirely due to Troy.
You only get married once and we’re fortunate we went with Troy. I would recommend him to anyone.
Aloha,
Cody

Every review for Troy Michael DJ shows 5 stars on Unilocal since he is certainly worthy of it. My hubby and I had our destination wedding (we’re from San Diego) in beautiful Hawaii two weeks ago and when it came time to research which vendors to hire for our big day, hiring the right DJ was high on our priority list.
I was actually surprised at how quick Troy replied to my email inquiry back in December. It was followed by an hour long telephone conversation/​interview then a follow-​up email from him a few weeks thereafter.
Troy is truly sincere in all his actions. We were expecting most DJ’s to just show up the day of the event, not provide suggestions on our timeline for the reception, what songs to use for the wedding party intro, whatever it may be, he was so thorough and we loved it.
At first, I was hesitant to hire Troy because of his price. However, when I did further research of other DJ’s in Honolulu, they came short in the service I was looking for. One DJ didn’t charge much, but the trade off in that could have been one that played tunes from their iPod all night, lol. Another DJ company charged a ridiculous amount which exceeded our budget by double. So after further discussions with my hubby, he budged and said to book him.
The fact that Troy is engaging in our planning and even met with us twice before our big day (first time was in February when we met/​interviewed all our wedding vendors) and again a week before our wedding speaks volumes of his professionalism and his dedication to his work. He even asked me to leave him a voice mail on his phone and read off the names slowly of everyone in our wedding party since he was our emcee to introduce them at the start of our reception. Who pays that much attention to detail? Troy Michael sure does.
He also provides uplighting for the room, which was a beautiful accent to our mango motif. His DJ station was pretty impressive as well, the lighted wall he had covering all his equipment looked really nice, I wasn’t expecting that. He was also very helpful with planning the lighting for our personalized gobo, all our guests thought it looked great as it was displayed on the wall.
We knew our reception was going to go by so quick, but I told him it was important for us to get the dancing started as soon as possible since we had to end the music by 11:00 pm. I thought his suggestions were very helpful and appreciated the fact that he was cognizant of the time the night of our wedding to make sure we were on schedule. I know he could have connected with our hired wedding coordinator for that, but I’m glad he kept us in the loop of the timeline when we were falling a little behind.
The icing on the cake was that at the end of the night, he played «All My Life» by K-​Ci & JoJo and had all our guests form a huge circle around my hubby and I on the dance floor. I took one look around at all our guests as we were dancing and I lost it, I was so emotional by the out pour of love and happiness I felt that night and that memory of our last dance with our family and friends surrounding us will forever be in my heart.
If you’re in planning mode for your wedding, I would highly recommend that you hire Troy Michael as your DJ, we couldn’t get our guests OFF the dance floor since they were having such a great time, thanks to Troy.
Troy– thank you for making our night a truly memorable one, you simply are amazing at what you do!

If you’re looking for a wedding DJ I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Troy Michael!
Troy is not only very professional and attentive but he made a TERRIFIC suggestion for our wedding — which included 20+ children in attendance. We replaced the traditional garter toss with a teddy bear toss which allowed the kids to be included in an event that’s otherwise reserved and catered to the adults.
Additionally, Troy dealt primarily with my wife who requested that certain songs be played during our reception but to be fair, Troy reached out to me (groom) not only to touch bases but also to ensure that I was ok with the suggestions and allowed for my input. I found this to be very refreshing as most of our vendors catered towards my wife — rightfully so.
Technology — During the planning phase of our wedding Troy provided us with an secured website in which we could select/​submit specific songs that we wanted played at our reception. This was a pleasant surprise and made the process very convenient for us.

We really lucked out big time on having Troy as our DJ and MC for our wedding reception.
We’re from San Francisco and was planning our wedding in Waikiki primarily over the phone and through email. After our intro call with Troy, we knew he was the one we wanted at our wedding.
Troy helped us from start to finish with just about everything — giving recommendations on time-​line /​our show flow, he also went beyond and acted as our main contact for our reception, coordinating with our Banquet Captain so that the flow of night went smoothly.

He even added lighting that complimented our color scheme.
Troy’s services is beyond stellar, he played all our and guests’ requested songs and kept the vibe we wanted for the wedding reception going through out the whole night.
The night was smooth sailing and a huge success. It was fun, very fun.
Highly recommended.
