We could not have asked for a better DJ for our wedding. The owner, John, made the entire process…read moreeasy and guided us with all of our choices with the music and order of events. For the day of our wedding we had DJ Chuck. We had a phone call with Chuck a couple days prior to go through any questions or suggestions. He read the crowd incredibly well and everyone had a great time. We gave him only a handful of songs we knew we would want played and he knew how to handle the rest. He received so many compliments at the end of the night, the dance floor was full all night. I can't recommend Rolling Sounds and Chuck enough. Having such an experienced DJ made our wedding go by so smoothly.

So many of our guests commented how great the music was and how much fun they had...going so far as saying it was the best music ever at a wedding. Geoff listened intently to us during our planning meetings, took notes and was diligent in understanding our style and vibe. We had a diverse genre of music from different decades including Christmas music and he wove it all together seamlessly. Thank you Geoff for helping us make our reception so unforgettable and fun!!!

Pros: - Quick responses via email…read more - Got there early enough to have plenty of time to set up - Asked several questions to confirm everything was exactly as we wanted - Accommodated my request to announce the Cupid Shuffle as a song I wanted my husband on the dance floor for - Checked in with us throughout the evening to make sure we were happy with the order of the cake cutting, speeches, etc. - Would not play random songs that guests requested without my permission - Gave us a CD with our playlist (we didn't even ask for one!) Cons: - Did not have some songs my guests requested that I gave permission for - Seemed like there was a slight disconnect between the flow of music and number of guests on the dance floor. I wish he would have read the room a little better to keep people on the dance floor. There were a few occasions where the dance floor was completely empty.

They were easy to book, easy to work with, and did a phenomenal job day of. Kevin arrived early to set up, knew our schedule and fit his entertainment around our schedule, announced all events, got everyone situated during story readings, and kept the kids (and a lot of parents) entertained. Kevin was funny, had high energy, knew how to read the crowd, and had our kids and parents playing games and dancing all afternoon. If you are having a large event for children, you should book Kevin as a DJ. He will make you look amazing.

Awesome DJ and photobooth sets…read moretheir customers up with a web page where they can organize their songs (what they want played, not to be played, special songs and dedications, etc.) Randy made sure my husband and I were happy and comfortable throughout the whole process. He has everything set up in his studio so you can actually see what it will look and sound like on your wedding day. Randy is not your typical, douchey DJ. He is extremely down-to-earth and approachable. He was so respectful about the fact that it was our day. He even dressed in a nice suit. I'm so used to going to weddings where the DJ wears a self-promoting polo or t-shirt. So many of my guests commented on how great the music was after the wedding. I even had a few of my friends ask me about Randy because they are planning their wedding. Bottom line, the dance floor was pumpin. It was a great celebration, and I owe a lot of that to Randy. Nothing but great things to say... Obviously.

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 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.

When we…read morecalled to schedule our daughter's bat mitzvah party, and Loren was not available, and we were assigned Nikki, we were hopeful but unsure. Any uncertainty we had dissolved the moment we walked into the party room. She kept over 30 13-year olds enthralled & dancing. for over 3 hours. My daughter had the time of her life and we couldn't be happier. Many accolades from adult friends put forward as well, for the skill Nikki had in engaging this group. I recommend hiring Fun Fun Fun DJs for your next bat mitzvah, graduation, or other event. I also recommend - if you are parents hosting a party in honor of your child's accomplishments - that you take Fun Fun Fun DJs advice and kick off the dancing with a reprise of your first wedding dance. When we did so, Nikki turned on the strobes, had the venue dim the lights, and my husband I enjoyed interrupted minutes to have a private celebration of the day. Very special all around.

Backthird Entertainment exceeded my expectations. I reached out to them about a year and a half…read morebefore my wedding. Stephen stayed in touch with me for that entire year and a half, checking in on the planning process and asking how he could help. He even met with me for coffee a few months before the wedding because he wanted to be sure that he understood our vision, music tastes, etc. The dance floor was full all night. So many people came up to me afterward and commented that they had never seen such a creative DJ - his transitions between songs were so fun, and he was flexible and knew how to keep the party going. He also provided all of the sound equipment for the entire day. We played a video during the reception, and even though he wasn't responsible for the equipment, he quickly jumped in when it looked like the sound wasn't working. Honestly, there is no reason to consider using any other DJ. Backthird is the best of the best!

I manage events for a living and knew that, if I didn't have someone to do that, I would spend the night worried about the agenda. Nobody needs that on their wedding day. I came across Backthird Entertainment and these guys have weddings down. I filled out an inquiry and Robbie, my account manager, contacted me right away to discuss the details. He had great ideas about the flow of the evening and, after our discussion, he paired us up with DJ Andrew. Their online portal was super easy to use and we had the opportunity to add in all of the special events we wanted during the evening. Andrew was great about helping us coordinate everything, especially since our reception ended up being a bit of a variety show. I appreciated that Andrew and his assistant, Scott, took care of all the details. They showed up early to set up, kept us on schedule throughout the evening, and made sure to play our "must play" songs and other requests at the times requested. Robbie even made sure to follow up with me at various times throughout the process to make sure everything was going well. These guys are great and really care about their customers. They helped make my big day worry free!

PLUS - he is much more affordable than any of these big-wig DJ companies in the Chicago area and suburbs. I would recommend him to anyone.

We had an OK experience with Groove is in the Heart DJs for our wedding. The initial communication…read morewith our DJ was good. We made our own dance floor playlist and were expecting the DJ to play it all after they said it was great. But, the day of the wedding, the DJ told my husband they were having Wi-Fi issues and couldn't access the playlist. He didn't know why the songs on the playlist weren't downloaded by the DJ before the wedding in case there were Wi-Fi issues. Guests also requested songs multiple times and were told by the DJ that they couldn't be played due to the Wi-Fi issues. Then when I asked why our playlist wasn't played, I was told "You didn't say the playlist was a must play". I wish we were told by the DJ that we needed to say that the entire playlist was "must play" during the planning phase.The DJ also didn't read the room and hype up our guests to get on the dance floor until the last song, so it felt a little dead throughout the wedding. The guests that danced were OK with the playlist, thankfully, but the DJ experience was pretty disappointing overall. If we knew the DJ experience was going to be sub-par, we probably wouldn't have paid our venue's additional audio tie-in fee.
