From our first meeting, they made her feel comfortable and confident, treating us like we were their most important client. The evening itself was beyond what we imagined. They read the room perfectly, keeping everyone--from young kids to our oldest family members--dancing all night. What stood out most was how Brandon and his team carry themselves--their genuine care, their command of the room, and their ability to make everyone feel special. They didn't just provide entertainment; they created magic. The state-of-the-art technology, the flawless execution, and their presence on the mic kept the energy going from start to finish without a single lull. Thank you, Brandon and Famos!, for making Olivia's bat mitzvah one of the most memorable evenings of our lives. We're forever grateful! Famos and Team are complete pros and cannot recommend them enough.

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.

They were highly responsive, professional, and easy to work with throughout the planning process. Additional to the emailing, Joe & Ken video-called us one week prior to our event to review the reception timetable, song requests, and venue details. Months prior to our event, Joe and Ken provided us access to their client portal. This portal allowed us to add the reception timetable, the names of our wedding party, songs for our grand entrance, the first dance song, the last song of the night, and other must-play songs. Joe hit every song we requested that night, including the Filipino line dance song in Tagalog. The dance floor was never stagnant or empty. All generations had the best time on the floor. If you have Spotify, then building a custom playlist for the night is easy to transfer over to the client portal in two mouse clicks. Speaking of the grand entrance, since my wife and I had a small ceremony last year with our immediate families only, we worked with Ken to customize our grand entrance to include a video of our ceremony highlights projected onto a curtain. We wanted our extended families and friends that were not able to witness last year's ceremony to watch our special moment as if they were there, too. Ken was able to edit our highlight video to 2-3 minutes. Once the pronouncement occurred in the video (I now pronounce you... you may now kiss the bride), my wife and I burst through the curtains like a high school football team at homecoming with our banger entrance song. The grand entrance was GRAND AF and our guests were hyped. We were told by numerous family members and friends that it was the best entrance they have ever seen - the projector image was clear from 100 feet away, the song was fun, and the timing was perfect. Also, our family and friends loved the Walking Photo Booth. Typically, my wife and I would wait in long lines at other weddings for the photo booth. This time around Mike from Amp Event Professionals had a handheld ring light photo booth that walked up to us. He was able to capture all the guests throughout the evening in their most spirited moments - into photos and GIFs! Super cool tech, super worth the add-on cost. We made sure to clear this Walking Photo Booth with our photographer since we were basically doubling our photo amount. My only suggestion when working with Joe and Ken is that you should hydrate a lot leading up to the celebration because both my quads cramped up hard that night from dancing so much. Seriously. We were all jumping, moving, and grooving for hours straight. Overall, they exceeded our expectations and gave us a night that we will cherish forever. We highly recommend Amp Event Professionals to anyone looking for respectful guys that just want to throw you the best dance party.

But once I got engaged, I didn't hesitate to tell my now Husband that Ken was the person we were hiring no matter the cost. We planned our budget around Ken and our venue because that was how confident I was to have him as our DJ. With 2020 taking a turn for what it did, we were struck with a difficult decision to make whether it be to postpone to keep our wedding. We decided to still have our ceremony and postpone our reception to next year. Ken was extremely accomodating and checked in with us numerous times throughout quarantine to make sure we were okay, and the transition process was seamless. He understood the difficult decision and never gave any push back on what we needed to do. With that being said, fast forward to our ceremony. When discussing our vision, Ken offered the ability to make it more personalized. This meant that he would record my Husband and I talked about how we met and basically tell our love story while the bridal party is walking down the aisle. Ken came over to our home and recorded us separately so I had no idea what my other half was saying until the Day of. Listening to it during the ceremony has me SOBBING even before I stepped out to walk down the aisle. After the ceremony, he sends us the clip allowing us to be able to listen to it over and over again. We already can't wait to work with him for our reception next year! It's going to be a blast and we just know that he'll have everyone on the dance floor! We know we will be! Thank you Ken for bringing our dream ceremony to life and being amazing to work with! If you're looking for a DJ, Amp Event Professionals provides more than just music for your special day, the services that they offer, and most of all the professionalism, and fun time you have working with them is above all else!

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.
