Destination Weddings

Your Wedding.
Your Energy.
Anywhere It Takes You.

Lake Como · Tuscany · Amalfi Coast · Sicily

Bring the energy, experience and attention to detail of DJ Mike Melice with you for a celebration that deserves more than the standard destination wedding entertainment.

Mike Melice

Two Worlds. One Celebration.

Born in the United States and raised in Sicily, Mike spent his childhood in Italy before moving back to New York at fifteen.

Fluent in both English and Italian and deeply connected to both cultures, he has spent more than twenty years behind the decks, building his reputation performing high-end weddings and events throughout New York.

His track record is built on packed dance floors, seamless communication, thoughtful planning, reading the room, and bringing each couple's vision to life.

Today, Mike brings those two worlds together for couples celebrating in Italy.

More Than a DJ

Your Wedding in Italy Deserves More Than a DJ.

It deserves someone who understands both worlds.

Couples planning a wedding in Italy invest deeply in the venue, the planner, photography, florals, fashion, food, travel and hospitality. Entertainment is what determines whether all of that beauty ultimately feels unforgettable.

Music at an international wedding is never simply a playlist. It requires an understanding of culture, generations, timing, traditions, language and the expectations of guests traveling from across the world.

Hiring Mike is an investment in the outcome of your celebration — not simply another vendor.

Elevated Entertainment

DJ + Live Musicians.

For couples who want even more, Mike pairs his programming with world-class live musicians — saxophone, percussion and vocals — woven seamlessly into the set for an elevated, one-of-a-kind experience.
