Tips, playlists, and behind-the-scenes insights to make your celebration epic

Planning a wedding in Calgary, Banff, Edmonton, BC? You’re in the right place.

This blog is my space to share real, practical insights to help you create a day that feels natural, fun, and epic.

Every post is written by me — Mico Migliarese, founder of Mico Entertainment. I am a Calgary-based DJ with 15+ years of experience across Alberta, B.C., and even a few great seasons in Australia and Mexico.

I’ve been fortunate to work with amazing couples, vendors, and venues over the years, and I learn something new at every event. I'm more than happy to share what I've learned. Everyone deserves an awesome wedding.

Thanks for stopping by, and if you have any questions, feel free to reach out.
