Wedding Review. We…read morerecently used MDM Entertainment for hung bistro lights in our wedding reception space at Walden Chicago. We were extremely impressed with the company's professionalism throughout the entire planning process! From the staff who answered our emails to those that hung up the lights the day of, everyone was extremely helpful and assisted in making our special day run smoothly. We got married on a Friday and had the option to split the cost of the lighting package with the couple getting married on the following day-this was a great alternative that the company offered us! If you are looking to add some extra flare to your event space (especially those brides/grooms getting married in a loft/industrial space!), we would highly recommend looking into MDM Entertainment!

I reached out and had an initial consultation call for my wedding in June. After the call, I was…read moretold I would receive a proposal, but more than two weeks passed without anything being sent. I followed up and was told I would receive the proposal by the end of the day, but I never heard back. I reached out multiple times over the following two weeks to everyone I had been in contact with and did not receive a single response. This lack of communication was extremely disappointing and felt unprofessional for a service costing $5,000+. I would not feel confident hiring a vendor who communicates this poorly for such an important event.

But our family and our guests had just as much fun. So many of our guests commented on how amazing Nick was, everyone loved the music, and the dancers were so great.

Brad was so much warmer and more flexible than other local entertainment companies I spoke with. And each person from Energy we interacted with was excellent at what they do and a pleasure to work with, from start to finish.

If you want JOY and if you want EASE, hire Marz! I hired Marz for my son's bar mitzvah. He and his…read moreteam were so fabulous that years later I sought out Marz for an adult birthday party. Marz knows what he is doing with every aspect of a party - he is fabulous at working with you to develop the party timeline, and he is a master at creating the energy and environment you want. He is also a pro with logistics. He creates joy for different age groups at the same party and creates a great environment for a purely adult party He has incredible expertise and depth of knowledge regarding music and people. He plans ahead but also reads the room and adjusts the music accordingly. At both parties, Marz had people having a blast on the dance floor. At my adult party, people had a great time dancing and one woman said she and her husband had such a great time dancing that they "felt young again." (They are a very fun couple in their 50s). Marz is also compassionate and kind. He understands and cares about people. I felt cared for and taken care of. Marz is a joy creater. If you want JOY and if you want EASE, he is the person to emcee/DJ your party!

(He even mailed my fog machine back to me that I couldn't take back on the plane, and didn't even charge me extra to do so) I would recommend Paul to anyone, and I will use him every time in the future! Thanks so much Paul :)

We had numerous phone calls and he made sure that he fully understood my needs for the wedding. On wedding day, we experienced a few technical difficulties with the speaker system.

It is very apparent that Paul truly cares about his customers and puts them first. I would work with him in the future.

We communicated again on Thanksgiving thru text. But last night. No call, No Show. Our photographer had to recruit a last second DJ that did our reception.

What's more, as an event vendor, Chris is professional, responsive, thorough and above & beyond in ensuring he meets his clients' needs. He would be an incredible addition to any event and I would wholeheartedly recommend him to any local couples planning their wedding day. Fun story - I booked Chris on just a few hours' notice. The original DJ for my brother & sister-in-law's wedding hadn't confirmed any event timing or details with the couple and was completely unresponsive the morning of the wedding. Not so great. As a bridesmaid & an event planner all I saw were red flags. I jumped in for the poor bride, so she could actually you know, prepare for her day. I found Chris via Yelp and placed a call. A super awkward one in which I had to share that, oh yeah, the date of the wedding was today. Miraculously Chris was free that evening, familiar with the venue and willing to jump in. About 90 minutes later he was loading in and setting up. I had literally texted him song titles for key parts while getting ready and he kept very incomplete and messy information organized and in the correct order for the ceremony. What's more, during the cocktail hour, he took the time to get the bridal party's names correct - down to the pronunciation - for the reception introductions. He also spent time getting to know the couple, and even worked with the bartender to be sure guests of honor were never without a beverage. Finally, his DJing during the reception was incredible! So much fun with the perfect mix of classics, new songs and special requests. At one point he even joined in on the dance floor to keep the party going. It was such a great mix of music and once the dancing got started it continued straight through to the end. I appreciated how attentive he was to details and how seamless it was to work with him in a time crunch. Even having just worked with him for one day, it was so clear he takes time to get to know his clients and how he can create a perfect event for them. He's very much the type of wedding vendor who will make the entire planning process smoother and more fun for couples. I cannot say enough good things about working with Chris and think he'd be the perfect addition to any wedding or event!

A list of why my wedding rocked harder than yours:…read more 1. Our guests were sweating profusely 2. The cake we tediously selected, the key lime tart with chocolate crust, AND the after dinner champagne went untouched on the dinner tables 3. My sorority sisters were shaking their good girls at eye-level to anyone who dared to remain seated 4. Our bridal party was practically fornicating on the dance floor 5. No one wore shoes. Not even flip flops 6. No ghastly group dance numbers that even Grandma shudders at the thought of, were played during the reception 7. My bosses were caught on video shaking their tail feathers (who's looking forward to the company Christmas party this year???) 8. No one wanted to clear the dance floor even for the bouquet toss 9. My book club girls were taking their clothes off 10. Our guests were whipping napkins and scarves around their heads... like helicopters All this awesomness is solely due to the talents of one helluva DJ, Chris Colton. Chris kept the party going with killer music from the second those dinner forks went down, and guests from ages 18-75 were all acting kray until the very last call. Chris played dance music, rock music, and everything else we asked of him. Leading up to the wedding of the year (ahem, that'd be mine), Chris had us fill out a form that covered every basis possible. Definite play list, over my dead body playlist, stop the party for this song, etc. He also had us time out the reception to make sure we stayed on track, and worked with my wedding planner to put together the perfect agenda. Chris also took the time to put together a fantastic montage about our alma mater, Marshall University. We Are... Marshall!!! Hell yeah we numerous grads chanted that, and Chris made it happen. And when my sorority wanted to sing off pitch to Livin' On a Prayer and then stomp on the floor, he made sure that happened too. Chris has really comparable prices to other Chicago DJ's, but I don't think their skill set and enthusiasm can match his. Chris made our wedding a party to remember (and for some, one they want to forget, heh). He's also very accessable, which is so important when a song lightbulbs in your head and you JUST HAVE TO HAVE IT PLAYED! Be good brides and grooms and feed your DJ, give him really exact guidelines for what you envision your wedding to be like, and let him do his thing. Because he does it real freakin' well.
