About Mico Entertainment
Our story, philosophy, and purpose
Mico Migliarese
Founder & Director
Hi! I'm Mico.ββ
My job is to make it easy for you to have a really good time.
I was born and raised here in Calgary, and I've been DJing since 2011.
β
I work closely with couples to understand the vibe, coordinate with the vendor team, and make sure the day flows naturally into a packed dance floor.
Every DJ on my team follows the same training and philosophy: be present, lift the vibe, and play what will actually bring people together.
Background
I grew up in Sundance making playlists for parties, hockey teams, and my Walkman on the way to school.
I studied English Literature at the University of Calgary, graduated in 2016, and ventured to Australia, where I had the opportunity to DJ weddings with Melbourne Entertainment Company.
While in Melbourne, I also co-created two entertainment brands (Red Moon & Renegade) that brought together thousands of people through music, art, and mindfulness.
We raised awareness for important causes, partnered with brands like Jägermeister, and had the time of our lives on the dance floor.β
Purpose
Dance events and weddings require unique skill sets. Having done both, I've learned a lot about what makes a party great. What it comes down to is the people.
No matter the cause for celebration, the purpose is always to help people relax, connect, and have a ridiculously good time.
β
Since returning home to Calgary in 2020, I've had one sole focus: building the kind of company that I would trust to handle my own wedding.
One that genuinely cares about the music, the people, and the vibe.
Everyone on our team feels the same way. You have to love it.
We are very much obsessed, and very grateful to be able to do this.
Top 3 Questions About Our Approach to DJing
1. "What music do your DJs play?"
Anything you want, and nothing you don’t.
Our planning form makes music selection easy. You can be very specific, or give us the general vibe and we'll take care of the rest.
Feel free to link your favourite playlists. We also have more than 20 playlists available on Spotify, all hand-picked by Mico.
Either way, we read the room and keep things flowing so the energy builds naturally throughout the night.
2. "Do you take requests?"
We always play your requests, and we'll be happy to play your guests' requests if you'd like us to, as long as they fit in with your vibe.
3. Do your DJs do quick mixes, do they let songs play out?
Our job is to bring people together on the dance floor while following your vision.
If people are loving a song, we let them enjoy it. If people are not loving a song, we swap it out right away, smoothly, to keep people happy.
No choppy cuts, sirens, scratching, or dragging things out.
We keep things upbeat and we always pay attention to the dance floor, especially the couple!
