MICHAEL SIMONETTA
BY THE NUMBERS!
Here’s What Matters to Me Most
I’m obsessed with excellence and perfection.
My purpose is to bring your guests to life by creating an atmosphere where everyone from your grandmother to your nieces and nephews can enjoy themselves. I love finding the perfect song that puts a smile on a grandparent’s face, or causes older guests to get on the dance floor despite their claim that they don’t dance! By having and playing the right music, it is easy to create the experience that you and your guests will remember for a lifetime.
I appreciate being a part of a meaningful event.
Most events I perform at are once-in-a-lifetime events, which is why it’s so important that I provide the very best service, whether it’s a wedding, birthday, anniversary or corporate party. My clients expect and deserve the best! I’ve earned my reputation by exceeding those expectations and always delivering on my promises.
My experience has built me a great reputation.
Many companies and corporations such as Ferrari & Macy’s have hired me as MC and DJ for hundreds of parties and events. My experience also includes countless radio voice overs and TV commercials, as well as MC for some of Hartford’s largest outdoor events. Additionally, I have been the DJ for some of CT’s best party spots such as The Mohegan Sun Wolf’s Den, The Brickyard, Bourbon Street, Murphy & Scarletti’s & The PourHouse.
My promise to you:
From weddings to corporate events, you will deal only with me from start to finish. I never subcontract any wedding, party or event.
Call or email me to set up a time for your free consultation.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Will you be the one working our wedding?
Yes! I am the only person you’ll deal with from the phone calls, emails, pre-planning, right to the very last song at the reception.
Can we meet before signing a contract?
I recommend that for myself or any other vendor you’d like to hire.
How far do you travel for weddings?
I mostly work in CT, but will travel to NY, NJ, MA, RI, and other New England states. For further, out-of-state travel, we’ll discuss cost during our initial consultation.
Do you have liability insurance and can you provide me proof?
Yes I do and I can provide you a copy of my Certificate of Liability Insurance at any time.
Do you have backup equipment with you?
Yes! Beyond that, my backup equipment has backup equipment which I haul with my Sprinter Van. (Beware of DJs that use their SUV.)
Will you take requests from my guests?
Yes, if you allow me to.
What kind of music do you carry?
Absolutely everything since the 1940s!

I do not add gratuity. It’s completely up to you based on the value you see from my services. It’s never expected, but is appreciated.

Yes – always!
How long will you hold my date without a deposit?
Seven (7) days.

My ceremony is outside on the grounds of the venue. Will you have all the equipment needed to cover the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception areas at the same time?
Yes! I cover all areas. Once the event has started, there is no moving of equipment in order to reduce distractions.

Absolutely – This is your party!
