Weddings should be all about the bride and groom and those whom they wish to honor at their reception. One of my roles as a professional DJ & Master Of Ceremonies is to help facilitate the wishes of my brides and grooms and not be the star-of-the-show. I am so pleased to share the video […]
Are you really a Master Of Ceremonies – or what Brides & Grooms fear most?
With Fall now here, I am always reminded of Halloween and the scary costumes that people now gravitate to. But in the world of weddings, there are few things scarier to a bride than a loud-mouthed, cheesy DJ masquerading as a professional Master Of Ceremony. I received a call recently that illustrated this fact very […]
Wedding & Special Event Band – The Metroplexers
Non-stop Party Rock! That is the motto of DFW party band, The Metroplexers. The Metroplexers are having a great year playing weddings, special events, and even special night club showcases. Most professional party bands in the DFW area are too expensive for a lot of budgets or they are simply too big. Did you know […]
Health & Fitness Clubs need DJs too!
A disc jockey can do a lot of things at different events. Provide sound, wireless microphones, even video projectors. Of course music is essential, but it is not always the primary reason to hire a DJ. A lot of work I do in the Dallas / Fort Worth area has to do with health and […]
Summer Events, Pool Parties and “Dive-In” Movies. The right DJ makes a difference.
Summertime in Dallas and Fort Worth is so fun!

The old stand-bys of backyard barbecues and pool parties are all-time favorites, so why not enhance a winning idea […]

We have all seen it: fundraising events run by committees of volunteers who are committed to the cause, but do not understand the dynamics of running a large event. Usually, in an effort to honor a chairperson, one of the committee members is chosen to also be the Master of Ceremonies and speak on the […]
Beware the Wedding Factory factor…
If you read anything about me on this website, you hopefully will gather that I love being a part of people’s special moments. Generally, I am a happy person with very few pet peeves or negative things to say about other people or businesses. But this past month I have been witness to an unnerving […]
How do I know what Brides & Grooms want?… I ask!
Have you ever texted somebody a note and they got the wrong idea about what you meant? I love texting, but it can be problematic if the conversations get too deep. I also love shopping online. It allows me to do so much that was not possible just a few years ago. But in the entertainment […]
I won an award for excellence in weddings in the DFW area!
I don’t often toot my own horn, but when I receive a nice bit of recognition from a respected industry resource, it is nice to let everybody know about it. Here is what the people at Wedding Wire have to say about me: WeddingWire, the nation’s leading wedding Marketplace, is excited to announce Mike Mahnich […]
With weddings, excellence has to be planned in advance.
I recently saw a bumper sticker on the back of a construction vehicle that said “Excellence has to be planned in advance”. I like that. As a full-time, professional wedding DJ & MC, I often hear from people in other professions about how great it must be to have my weeks off and just work […]
