 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I hosted my parent's 50th wedding anniversary party this past Saturday at Goldbug Island, and Michael Peifer did an outstanding job as the DJ.  Not only did he DJ, he also played live acoustic music and kept the crowd entertained throughout the entire evening.  His overall professionalism, friendliness, talents and abilities were second to none.  I can't tell you how many guests came up to me during the event and are still asking, "who was the musician??"  I would highly recommend Michael Peifer to DJ and/or play live acoustic music for your next event.  He helped create magic and memories that will last a lifetime!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't recommend Michael enough for anyone's event!  He entertained at our friends wedding back in October.  We booked him on the spot for my husband and his twin's 50th birthday party.  He can sing and play anything!  Country, rock, anything!  2 different people booked him for their events while at ours.   I had multiple friends asking where I found him,  he's great!! Can't wait for our friends' event that Michael's booked at in May!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude and provide an enthusiastic recommendation for the incredible musical experience you created at my daughter’s wedding.
From the initial consultation to the last note played, your professionalism, talent, and passion for what you do were evident and greatly appreciated. Your ability to customize the musical atmosphere to suit everyone’s’ preferences was truly wonderful. Our guests cannot stop raving about the amazing playlist and how much you sounded just like or even better than the actual artists.  Not only did you showcase exceptional musical talent, but your friendly and approachable demeanor also added a wonderful personal touch to the event. It felt like you were not just a hired professional, but someone genuinely invested in making their wedding day extraordinary.

I am truly grateful for your contribution to their special day and would highly recommend your services to anyone seeking a top-notch musician and DJ.  Your talent, professionalism, and passion for your craft undoubtedly set you apart, and I felt fortunate to have had you as a part of their wedding celebration.  Once again, thank you for making their day so incredible.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wedding Music Charleston & Michael Peifer did a fantastic job with our wedding. Working with them to plan everything was a breeze and they were completely experienced professionals. The wedding playlist options set a strong foundation for music choices for all aspects of our wedding, and we were able to seamlessly add specific requests in as well to really curate the music to our tastes. On the day of, the set up went smoothly and easily, our guests were able to hear us clearly during our outdoor ceremony, and the music for the reception, dinner, and cocktail hour was a hit with lots of compliments.

FAQ

Frequently asked

Will you handle my introductions and announcements?

Our Professional DJ and Master of Ceremonies packages provide all of this and more. Our experienced DJs will make your introductions and announcements with class and style, without being overbearing. Want a classy DJ that only speaks when needed? No problem! Prefer a High-Energy party professional that can get your guests hyped up at the right time? We have you covered! Just let us know your vision and we will help you find the perfect package.

Do you have lighting options?

Why yes- I am glad you asked! Our Contemporary package comes with color wash lighting for your dance floor, but we also offer beautiful uplighting and Monogram lighting to set the tone for a magical event. Take a look at the options section of our pricing sheet and don’t hesitate to ask about something you have seen or reach out for ideas. We are always happy to help!

How far in advance should we secure a date?

Exceptional vendors are in demand, and can book as much as 2 years in advance. We recommend securing your venue and your critical vendors at least a year early to ensure that you get your choice of the best vendors. You may get lucky at the last minute, but that would be the exception and not the rule. Reach out as soon as you can. There may even be discounts available for early booking!

Can you provide music and microphones for my outdoor wedding Ceremony?

We have great packages that include a second set up location that provides music and wireless microphones for your Ceremony. We can provide a mic for your Officiant as well as readings and vows if needed, and we always use high quality equipment so all of your guests can hear!

Can I choose the music that you will play?

Of course you can! This is your event, so you get to choose as much of the music as you like. We take the time to talk extensively with our clients, even before a contract is signed, to determine their musical tastes. A wedding is a time when a wide range of guests will be there, so choosing music that will appeal to everyone will help all of your valued guests enjoy the event. Once we determine your vision we can place you with the perfect DJ from our stable, or recommend someone from another company that would be better suited for you. One way or the other, we are here to help you realise your vision for the perfect day!

Can you recommend other vendors that you have worked with?

YES! We have been providing magical entertainment services to hundreds of clients each year for more than 25 years now. We get to see the good, bad, and ugly sides of vendors and venues from Charleston, to Hilton Head and Beaufort, to Florence and Columbia, Pawley’s Island and even parts of Myrtle Beach. We can make some great recommendations for venues and vendors that you can trust!
