Testimonials

"Thank you so much again for working with us at our wedding in La Jolla on the 10th! The music was one of the biggest focuses for me, so I was really happy that it all went so well, and that you could roll with our pretty random selection of songs. Even a lot of the songs that you added were ones that I had almost put on our list! I hope you’re staying cool in this heat wave, and thank you so much again!"

"We cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible experience we had with our guests. We loved the attention to details, recommendations and songs that were mixed. You also did such an amazing job as MC! You curated a playlist that had everyone on the dance floor. You seamlessly blended our favorite songs with creating an atmosphere that was vibrant and filled with energy. We had a good amount of people dancing! It truly felt like they understood our style and preferences, making our wedding reception unforgettable. :) You were amazing!!!"

He completely killed it on the dance floor as well, and kept our entire wedding party of 165 people on their feet! What an incredible weekend. You completely rocked the house and everyone was talking about how good you were the next day. So THANK YOU for making it an awesome day for us man, it’s so appreciated."

"Thank you so much!! I was lucky to work with DJ Michael (aka DJ SHY) and he was awesome. Great vibes, flexible, listened to what I wanted and understood the vibes I was going for from ceremony through reception. Btw EVERYONE that we saw the next day told us how much they loved the playlist and how much fun they had dancing! And how you asked some of our guests names who were on the dance floor all night! They felt so special lol. We also LOVED how many inspiring couples we had for the anniversary dance! You killed it!! Very professional and great experience all around!"

"We had the pleasure of working with Michael Cabrera (DJ Shy) for our wedding! From our initial interview meeting with him, Michael was extremely friendly, warm and easy to work with. He helped offer suggestions for our timeline, different versions (slower/faster paced) for our first dance and shared lists of other songs that we had to consider for other parts of the night (ie songs for father/daughter, cake cutting, bouquet tossing, etc). It was also easy to share with him the songs we wanted at our wedding via Spotify or Google docs. He went with the flow of the night and kept our guests dancing and having a good time! The music was perfect for everyone, even with the kids and older generations. We loved his energy and enjoyed an incredible night. I would absolutely hire Michael again for any future events, and would happily recommend him and Sleeping Giant Music!"
