System 3 Entertainment

OUR FAVORITE VENDOR! If you are looking for a MC/​DJ, please do yourself a favor and book Michael «Mickey» and System 3 Entertainment! My husband and I did all the busy work for you. We researched and met with many DJs and nobody compared. Mickey is not only a DJ, he is an amazing MC who will get even your most shy guests onto the dance floor and having a good time. He sits down with you before your wedding and really gets to know you. He goes over all the songs you want (or don’t want). They will also go above and beyond for you. On our wedding day, Mickey was constantly coming up to us asking if we needed anything. When my husband and I snuck out to take sunset photos, Mickey and Tristan kept the party going so that few people even noticed we were gone. Trust us; your DJ/​MC is one of the most important vendors you will have at your wedding. You want your guests to be having just as great a time as you are. Till this day, we still have guests telling us how much fun they had during our reception. So, please save yourselves the hassle of continuing your search for a MC/​DC and book Michael and System 3 Entertainment! You will not regret it. Oh, and if you are getting married, ask them for the «Disney Intro». They’ll know what you’re talking about.

I hired System 3 to be the entertainers at my daughter’s Bat Mitzvah. If you’ve got a 13 year old Jewish kid, they are probably attending A LOT of such parties all concentrated in a year long span. My daughter told me that she felt that her DJ ran easily the best of the parties she’d attended, and that many of her friends agreed. I had also attended a few that year and agreed — Michael really made the evening fun, and was attentive to the guest of honor in ways that some other DJs weren’t.
She had a great time the whole night, and that was the most important thing to us.

The very best! Mike and his team will make sure your party is a blast. We wouldn’t hire any one else.

We worked with Michael who was the DJ at our wedding in Burbank and we were very happy with his service. System 3 was recommended by our friends who previously worked with him before. Michael was always on top of everything. The whole process was very present from the beginning. We had two meetings prior to the wedding. We were communicating through emails most of the time and everything was just so easy and simple. Michael worked out the songs and the timeline we had. We did a walkthrough at the venue a couple weeks prior to the wedding just to get an idea of where things were going to be. Everyone had a great time at the wedding. Michael was very funny! And his DJ friend kept the guests on the dance floor all night! Timing was excellent thought out the event. Everything went so smoothly from the ceremony to the cocktail hour to the reception. We were laughing a lot. We would recommend System 3 to our friends in a heartbeat! They did a great job!!!

What a terrific team; System 3 is the best proof that small businesses provide the highest levels of customer service. From the initial contact by owner/​operator Michael to subsequent meetings, every interaction was very positive. he is professional and also warm, engaging, and has terrific follow through. After signing contract with him to provide entertainment for our daughters’ B’not Mitzvah (very reasonable prices, btw), Michael met with us to review what songs and games we wanted (or not). He then communicated this to Robert, who was to fly in from AZ to emcee the event. Robert was equally great, spending ample time with us by phone, text, and Skype to review all details before his arrival; he even made a custom mix for our unusual father/​daughter dance. Both Robert and Michael were incredibly responsive, and most importantly, it was clear they both really cared about us, the event, and the outcome, which was outstanding. Robert, Tristan (DJ), and Jessica (dancer) worked so well together — very entertaining. No glitches, no surprises (other than the planned ones). Would use System 3 again in a heartbeat — true professionals.

Michael and System 3 created an evening for our family that exceeded our very high expectations. We reached out to Michael (Mickey) when we were planning our daughter’s Bat Mitzvah party. it was going to be a bit of a complicated event as we were having people of all ages, and the event was taking place in a rented Veterans Hall, so while the space had plenty of room– the lighting left a great deal to be desired. Michael addressed all the issues seamlessly.
He met with us four times (the last two at his own suggestion– as he wanted to be «well prepared” — how great is that?). He developed the evening’s entertainment in close collaboration with our daughter and the two of us– even coming to our home and showing us dances and games that we could play at the party. When we met at the space (twice) he helped us figure out the layout and created a schedule for the entire evening that included when the food service would begin, when cocktail hour would start and end, etc, etc. He also made great suggestions for lighting, which we took, and which he then provided. He also came up with a lovely idea of putting our daughter’s name in a gobo that light the dance floor. Really perked up the room.
Mickey truly had the big picture in mind through the whole evening. But lest that sound like he is hands off– he was the first and last guy out on the dance floor– leading us all in hours of crazy fun alongside his two dancers and fabulous DJ who got everyone out on the floor.
He was our event organizer, emcee and DJ extraordinaire. Friends have already booked him for this Spring. We can’t recommend him more confidently.

The team at System 3 Entertainment was outstanding! We used them for our daughter’s Bat Mitzvah and received compliments in the following days on how incredible MC Robert, DJ Tristan and dancer Tiffany were. Their energy was strong and their attitude was positive which in turn kept the entire event running beautifuly and smoothly. Even their attire was theme appropriate! Will use them again without hesitation :)

After contacting many DJs for pricing, we landed on Michael from System 3 for my wife and I’s wedding. We could not have been happier. We met with him once to go over songs used for different parts of the night. He had a list and went step by step through the ceremony and reception with every option you could think of to make sure we had everything covered. He provided us with a variety of examples/​recommendations and talked us through our thought process so we could have every moment scored perfectly. From there, he took over. Not only was he a fantastic DJ, he did a great job MCing too. He kept the party going with a variety of music and when I wanted a particular song, put it on with no hesitation.
When my wife and I decided to change one of our entrance songs the night before the ceremony, he made the change without batting an eye. He was even willing to do two separate set ups on a sunday for our two venues without any extra charges.
My wife kept saying that a DJ could make or break the wedding and (don’t tell her) she was right. Our reception wouldn’t have been the same without Michael. He was well worth the money, which was comfortably below other DJs we talked to. There’s a reason System 3 has only five star reviews. They earned them.

i first met Michael at a Girl Scout event. He had all the girls up and dancing. I hired System 3 to MC at my daughter’s 5^th grade culmination. He did a great job, everyone was dancing and playing games. A good time was had by all. I would use him again.

My wife (fiancé at the time) found System 3 Entertainment here on Unilocal as we were looking for a DJ for our wedding. Michael did an incredible job and looking back now, it was the best decision we could have made.
Being new to the wedding scene, we didn’t know what to expect or how to structure activities for our special day. Michael sat down with us several times and went over a play by play to make sure we are doing everything we wanted to accomplish that evening. He provided a list of recommendations, ideas and made sure we have everything to our liking. During the rehearsal, he came out to the venue with us to make sure he has the right set up for the wedding day. In short, Michael did all of his homework when preparing for our wedding.
Aside from providing an excellent DJ service, Michael was the MC and even went out of his way to assist us during other parts of the wedding in which he was not involved.
It was truly a pleasure working with him. There were no hidden costs. We would definitely recommend him and use him again!

Michael and Zach did a fabulous job at my son’s 5^th grade picnic. There were 200 kids at this event and they all had a blast!

We were so highly fortunate to have come across Michael and System 3 Entertainment at a wedding expo. When we stopped by his table, we took a stab at spinning his wheel. He was doing a promotion and giving out a chance for a couple to win free DJ services. My then-​fiancée spun the wheel and to our surprise, we actually landed on the ONE spot for a free DJ at our wedding. We were so lucky to have met Michael on this day and win this opportunity. It’s not like we won a service that was of low quality or anything like that. This was a legit business with Michael as a very talented DJ heading up the business. We didn’t even really believe we just won that and were cynical so Michael even sent us an email right there on the spot from his phone confirming what we had just won. He let us know that he was going to be in touch as the wedding got closer. We were still far out from my wedding date and were not even thinking about DJs yet.
Sure enough, Michael contacted us months down the line and we started the process. We were so lucky because he was going to pull out all of the bells and whistles for us with all his cool DJ props that he had. But we actually didn’t need any of that since our reception venue was so high-​tech and equipped with top-​of-​the-​notch equipment. Michael wanted to pull out all of the stops for us but we didn’t mind because getting his talent and this free service was already good enough for us.
I have to say that Michael was one of the top two vendors I worked with for my wedding. He definitely was the vendor with the best and most professional style of communication. His communication and planning process was very organized, thorough, accurate, and timely. I never had to worry about following-​up with him. The actual day of the wedding and his MCing the reception also went off very well. I was very satisfied with the outcome. The only thing that did not go according to plan was that our first dance song was played in its entirety when we had only wanted to do our first dance to a portion of the song.
Overall, we were so fortunate to have stumbled upon Michael, his free promotion, and his talents and skills. He was a great part of our repertoire of wedding vendors.

Michael and System 3 did an amazing job at our wedding reception on September 2, 2012. He met with us numerous times (including driving out to the reception site) and spent a lot of time helping us plan the perfect evening. He helped us find ways to personalize our reception with great alternatives to the same old thing. He also helped us put together an amazing horah with a great energy. Everyone had a blast! He helped us plan out the entire night and coordinated with the planner and catering so the night had a great flow. Michael is nice and extremely professional. I would highly recommend System 3 for any event you’re planning. They will definitely help you take it to the next level!

Michael Jotkowitz did an AMAZING job at my daughter’s Bat Mitzvah on June 23, 2012. He was able to take her Bat Mitzvah theme and utilize it throughout the party. Her theme was «Mandi’s favorite sweets» and Michael went out of his way and used his own expense to purchase him and his dancers & DJ all candy-​themed shirts. He also came up with the brilliant idea to use Mandi’s dancing talent to choreograph a dance for Mandi and Michael’s dancers to do for Mandi’s Grand Entrance to her party. It was a HUGE hit!!! The dancers only met with Mandi for about an hour to learn her dance and they all performed it perfectly in sync. Our guests were totally amazed!!! Also, the games that Michael creates for the kids are a blast and the prizes he purchased to give out were perfect and kept the kids totally entertained the entire time. I’ve been to other Bar Mitzvahs and, honestly, there is NO BETTER DJ out there than Michael! He truly cares about the party being a success and makes sure that everything goes smoothly.

Michael, or as my husband James and I call him «Jotkowitz» was the best part of our wedding. (Other than getting married.) He was hilarious to work with, and was very professional and thorough. He made sure that all the songs we wanted played were played, and all the ones we didn’t want played, ie. Journey, weren’t. I’d definitely recommend him as a DJ, or since he’s single, a date. He’s a nice Jewish boy. ;o)
Looking forward to having more parties for him to rock.
