Amplified Events was amazing for our wedding! Every part of the planning and execution process was done with ease and professionally. Mike’s set up was high quality providing a crisp and clean sound while the set up was visually appealing. The additional lights and extras Mike provided really elevated the experience of the wedding overall. We had so many compliments and the dance floor was packed all night. He chose great music to keep the party going. I would highly recommend Amplified Events for any future brides!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Amplified Events! From the very beginning, their professionalism and work ethic stood out. Communication was seamless throughout the entire planning process—they were always quick to respond, super organized, and incredibly easy to talk to. They took the time to understand our vision for the day and went above and beyond to accommodate every request, big or small. Whether it was adjusting the playlist, timing special moments, or handling last-minute changes with ease, they were incredibly flexible and supportive. The energy they brought to our reception was amazing! Our guests had a fantastic time, and the dance floor stayed packed all night. On top of that, we also booked their Photo Booth, which was a huge hit! It added such a fun element to the evening, and the quality of the photos was top-notch. If you're looking for a DJ who is not only talented but also genuinely cares about making your day perfect, look no further. Highly recommend!

Joe did a great job communicating with us prior to, and in the days leading up to our wedding day. He was extremely professional and approachable. Jeff also assisted us during the booking process, and helped us find the ideal package for our wedding reception. Both Joe and Jeff did a great job DJ'ing at our wedding reception, and overall helped make it an incredibly organized and fun evening. I would recommend Amplified Events to anyone looking for DJ services for their event.

We used Amplified Events for our wedding this past weekend and DJ Joe Albomonte absolutely killed it! The energy and fun he brought to our dance floor was next level and exactly what we asked for! He knew how important good vibes and good music were to our wedding and he went above and beyond to make that happen! We got so many compliments on how awesome our DJ was all night long! He absolutely crushed it and was such a pleasure to work with! If you need a sign to book him for your wedding, this is it!!!! :)

Jacob was an amazing DJ and was great to work with for our wedding! He was very professional, punctual, and made sure that everything ran smoothly on our wedding day. He was very flexible with changes in our schedule! We are so glad we booked this company to DJ our wedding, I could not recommend Amplified Events enough!

We hired Amplified for our wedding this past weekend and Chris DJ'd our wedding! We could not have asked for a better DJ. Everything ran incredibly smooth, he was great at managing the music at our outdoor reception, MC-ing the night, fielding song requests from guests based on what we wanted for our dance floor, and thanks to him, our dance floor was packed for the whole night! We also got a photobooth from them that our guests loved!

We worked with Mike for our wedding and he was so kind and communicative throughout the whole process. He helped to make sure we felt confident and prepared going into the big day. He answered all of our questions in a timely and thorough manner. The sound/music for the ceremony was absolutely perfect and the customizable add on’s like dinner on vinyl, live music during cocktail hour, and the photo booth were so much fun! Mike kept us on track with our timeline and was flexible and calm with changes that came up throughout the reception. He even went so far as to download a song request for a guest. We got so many compliments on the music and personalized touches. The dance floor playlist was everything we could have hoped for. It was so special to have all of our loved ones out on the dance floor having a great time with us. I can’t recommend Mike and Amplified Events enough!

Chris Zart DJ'd our wedding this past Friday and we cannot recommend him enough! He was super helpful in the planning process. Easy to communicate with. He had all the timing down and knew what needed to happen throughout the day! He threw in a photo booth the day of for us, and it was absolutely the biggest hit of the night. People raved about it. Many people said that it was the most fun wedding they have ever been to, and a lot of that has to do with the DJ keeping people on the dance floor and entertained throughout the night! Thanks so much Chris!!!

Joey was such a great DJ for our day! He was so kind, easygoing, and pumped the energy up! He followed all our crazy requests and followed through with everything we asked! He played all our request list songs and did a great job doing what we requested at the ceremony! We highly recommend him and Amplified Events!

Jacob Vargas DJ’ed our wedding and we cannot recommend him enough! He was on time, professional, full of energy, and made our reception a blast (and our ceremony a breeze)! From the very beginning, he was easy to get a hold of any time we had a question. We’ve had several guests mention to us, when talking about the wedding, how good the music was! He was also a great MC, the flow of events (entrance, dismissing tables, cake cutting, first dances, etc.) went so smoothly. Overall, we couldn’t have been happier with our DJ choice, and I would give more stars if I could!

8/22/2024

Joey from Amplified Events was amazing! We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ for our wedding. Through our whole wedding planning, Amplified Events was quick to answer with any questions we had. Joey took the time and called us to make sure he had the timeline down for our wedding and took into consideration special details we wanted included. He was so easy to work with and made our reception so fun! Highly recommend!

Amplified Events was AMAZING to work with from the first time we contacted them until the last song played at our Wedding. Mike, the owner, was very communicative and helpful throughout the planning process and made sure that all of our questions were answered. Kyle created a stunning piano version of Blink-182’s First Date for me to walk down the aisle to, and it was one of my favorite parts of the whole wedding. Jacob was our lead DJ on the day of, and he absolutely crushed it. He played a variety of music, kept the energy up, and had all of our guests on the dance floor all night. We loved working with the whole team and we couldn’t be happier with their services. We also had their photobooth and it was such a big hit. We have so many fun pictures available right away which is so nice while we wait for the photographer’s photos to come back! Thank you to Mike, Kyle, and Jacob for all your work, we had the BEST day and night!!

Chris was absolutely amazing to work with! He was very professional and kept the vibes at 100. He helped us navigate what we wanted and talked through our day to make it smooth. The app was perfect and easy to use and easy to change things around to make it specific to us. When talking with Chris, it felt right and I knew my husband and I would not worry at all on our wedding day. The price was higher than we were Initially wanting to spend, but so worth it! It was truly the right fit and am so glad Chris had our backs for the day!

Mike literally saved the day at our wedding on ~3 hours notice! Our previously-booked DJ sadly passed away the day before our wedding, and so we were scrambling the morning of to book a DJ last minute. I called Mike at 11:30 that morning, and he showed up at our venue at 1:30 to begin setting up for our 4:30 outdoor ceremony/reception. I sat down with Mike for ~30 min to run through the details, because time was obviously limited. I’m so glad we went with Mike: he did an incredible job setting up reception audio, was able to independently solve problems as they came up, did a great job MC’ing, and kept the party going late into the night! His music setup was great, and he was able to handle last minute requests like “play about 30 seconds of this song” with ease! Cannot recommend him enough.

DJ Jeff did an incredible job at our wedding. The song selection app was so easy to use and having it ahead of the wedding meant I could constantly update it as I thought of/discovered songs that we wanted to play. The music during the event was great. We had an older crowd and a good amount of kids at our wedding, and Jeff did a great job of handling the chaos of kids and the more laid back groups. I would definitely recommend this vendor.

Kristen S

Joe was a fantastic DJ for our wedding! He was super responsive in answering any and all questions we had, and he made sure our special day went smoothly. He played great music and kept people dancing! Can’t recommend enough!! 😊

We were so happy we went with amplified events for our wedding! The booking processes was super straight forward and Mike answered any and all of my questions I thought of, which I appreciated. We had Jacob and Jeff the day of and they did an amazing job!! Jacob was so easy going and flexible with our schedule. He kept the party going all night and did such a good job of reading the dance floor. Not once did I have to worry about music, or what was coming next; it was just so so nice to have it all under control by Jacob.

Amplified Events was extremely easy to work with leading up to our wedding day. The app is super easy to use and kept us organized. Our DJ, Chris, found a way to get the information he needed from us without being overbearing. He was also super kind and showed a lot of excitement to be working with us. On the day of, Chris did an amazing job being an MC for the night and kept us on our timeline without being overbearing. He picked cocktail hour and dinner music that was perfect based on the vibes we requested. He adapted our first dance songs really well by ensuring they were the right length and had proper transitions. Last but not least, the dance floor music was AMAZING!! We’ve received so many compliments about how fun it was and Chris kept the party going all night! Thank you so much for everything!!!

Joe was our DJ this past Saturday and he did an amazing job! From the ceremony, cocktail hour and the reception he exceeded our expectations. He was very informative with the groom and I on letting us know what would be next like toasts and such. Joe also was very helpful in the planning process, he was quick to text back if we had any questions. The app that we could load songs onto was very easy to use and kept everything organized. Joe had the dance floor packed all night long! Would highly recommend Amplified Events for your wedding DJ!

Mike was great to work with. We felt so comfortable planning and prepping the music for our wedding with his help. We really appreciated all of his guidance and suggestions. On the big day, Mike was extremely professional and easy to work with. He arrived with ample time to set up. Amplified Events DJ booth looked very classy and tied into our decor perfectly. We had a lot of specific timings that we wanted songs to place (trying to have some movie moments, ya know?) and Mike executed everything SO perfectly to bring our dreams to life. Additionally, we'd gotten a photobooth from Amplified Events. It was easy to use and super fun for guests. I would recommend Amplified Events for any event!

Joe from Amplified Events did an excellent job being the DJ at our wedding! He was very attentive to the bride and groom throughout the night. We are still getting compliments from our guests on the music that night. Joe also worked very well with our other vendors to help coordinate events during the wedding. We highly recommend Joe from Amplified Events!

We worked with Chris for our wedding, and he and his assistant were absolutely amazing! They definitely kept the party going! Chris was very easy to reach with any questions we had before the wedding or day of. The program they had us use for inputting songs was so convenient. The photo booth we got from them was a huge hit, and the lapel mic and standing mic used during the ceremony were perfect. Very glad we chose this company for our special day!

Mike and Cade were AMAZING! Mike made the planning process so easy, and everything on our wedding day was perfect! We could not have asked for better DJs for our wedding. I would HIGHLY recommend.

I want to take a minute to thank Amplified Events for making my wedding day so special and fun for all of my guests! Mike took every song on my playlist and added in a few more I hadn't thought of that were perfect additions to an already fire set list, sequenced everything so perfectly and gave the dance floor an energy that had everyone moving from the first song to the last dance. The photo booth was a huge hit and the pictures we have from it are now beautiful keepsakes and will serve as reminders of how much fun all of our guests had! The lighting on the floor was gorgeous and set the tone for a night of love, laughter, music, and dancing, and I cannot thank Amplified Events enough for helping everything run so smoothly and seamlessly. I highly recommend them!

I first experienced an Amplified Events wedding in December 2018. It was the last of 12 weddings I attended that year and by far the most memorable dance floor. I was so impressed that I convinced my best friend to hire them for her wedding the following year. This past month, I finally got to hire them for my own wedding. The dance floor energy that Mike and Jeff create is truly unmatched. They have a real talent for knowing how to sequence your song requests, how much of a song to play, and how to read the room. Mike went above and beyond to help us create cuts of our first-dance song and mother-son song and even gave me the opportunity to pick my top priority songs for the last 30 min of the night from my requested songs that hadn't been played yet (which he had been diligently crossing off throughout the night). The price point is super reasonable and our guests could not stop raving about how it was the most packed wedding dance floor they ever experienced. We cannot recommend Amplified Events enough! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Mike and Jeff for the electric wedding dance floor of our dreams!!!

Amplified Events knocked it out of the park. One of my main goals for my wedding was to have fun on the dance floor and Chris absolutely made that happen. We had so much fun, and all of our guest have told us how much fun they had too. I cannot recommend Amplified events enough, they are fantastic!

Amplified Events & Mike were amazing. Mike has so much knowledge and experience and really put us at ease during the planning process. We wanted to do an East Coast wedding which would have been really different for our Midwest family / friends and it worked out better than we could have ever imagined due to Mike's advice. All night, our dance floor had an infectious energy.

Mike and his team are simply the best. The booking process was easy, planning process was super simple. Providing music for your wedding seems like a tall task, but with the app provided at booking it makes it very easy. Mike and his team were so professional throughout the whole process. As for the reception, the dance floor was full all night. We had all of our big moment dances picked out, but left a majority of the dancing music to Mike's discretion and he played a perfect mix of music that had people dancing all night. Your DJ search can stop with Amplified because there is nobody better!

Mike was such a great choice for our wedding! He was so accommodating with my requests and even played songs at the exact second we requested. He was very easy-going and easy to communicate with. At our wedding he read the room well and played songs based on what everyone was enjoying. We are so happy we chose him as our DJ!

We worked directly with Mike on planning & DJ'ing our wedding at the Dunes Pavilion in Chesterton. Mike was incredibly easy to work with and flexible in our wedding planning. His planning app helped us to set our own timeline of events and coordinate each event. Two things really stood out about working with Amplified Events was the extent that Mike was able accommodate our desired flow and make last minute adjustments. Our outdoor ceremony was weather dependent and we had to make a last minute decision. Mike was easily able to accommodate an outdoor ceremony for us. During the remainder of the reception he kept a great flow of music going based on our initial playlists and kept all of our Philly area guests up to date on the Phillies scores. His DJ equipment is sleek and modern so it blends in super nicely with any venue and looks fresh and polished. Would 10/10 recommend working with Mike and his team.

We absolutely loved having Mike as our DJ/MC for our wedding! Mike had great communication and was helpful throughout the planning process. He was great at transitioning between songs and kept people out on the dance floor all night! Mike has the best energy and we highly recommend him!! We also booked our Photo Booth through Amplified Events and it was a big hit at our wedding! We loved the options their Photo Booth offers and how they made sure we received a copy of all pictures taken throughout the night!

I will be recommending Amplified Events, specifically Mike Kane, to everyone! Mike was our wedding DJ and he was so so great! We had multiple consultations to go over everything we wanted and he fulfilled every single wish at a VERY reasonable price! The music and lighting was absolutely gorgeous. Mike was also so accommodating the day of - bringing me and my husband water and letting me use his portable fan because it was so hot out! He helped move the ceremony chairs so we could get pictures started right away. He was just phenomenal. Our wedding was absolutely perfect and Amplified Events played a huge role in that! I cannot say thank you enough!!!!

Couldn't ask for a better way to organize our special day then with music. Amplified Events knocked it out of the park meeting our needs from our ceremony to our wedding party entries to our first and last dances. Thanks Mike for working with us for what we needed to fit our unique celebration. Highly recommend them for your next event.

We hired Chris as our wedding DJ after having a tough time deciding which wedding DJ Company to choose. We loved that Mike and Chris were willing to have multiple 1-1 conversations before the wedding day, and cater to the exact schedule, music type and vibes we wanted. On the wedding day, Chris did an amazing job of keeping the party going - one couple loved Chris so much that they hired him for their upcoming wedding! Hiring Chris was the absolute best decision!

Chris Zart did an amazing job as our DJ at White Oak Farm Venue. :) He fully worked with our day of coordinator and as a bride I didn’t have to do anything the day of the wedding! The process of choosing and uploading songs was so easy which helped our busy schedules.

Michelle G

7/04/2023

Mike is simply the best! We had our wedding at white oak farm venue this past June, and everyone had so much fun! He provided microphones and music for the outdoor ceremony, music at our cocktail hour, and became our hype man for our reception. We also asked him to make little reminders to our guests throughout the night in regards to hotel/shuttle services. He was so accommodating and a pleasure to work with. The Tswift set did not disappoint! Thanks for everything, Mike & Cade!!!

Wish there were more stars! Mike and team were the best partners throughout the process. Reasons why you should hire them immediately for your dream day: 1. Transparency in pricing. No nickel and diming at all, they brought all of the equipment (speakers and mics) that fit perfectly in our space and for our event for one flat fee. 2. Super easy-to-use app for putting in all of our favorite songs and helping us remember all the things we needed to select songs for. Synced seamlessly with our Spotify playlists. 3. Goldilocks level of communication. Mike was there whenever we needed him, making time to tour the venue in advance to help us plan for specific sound concerns. His steady demeanor gave us instant trust that he was a pro, and he delivered! Mike also made time to meet with us about 10 days before the event to ensure all pronunciations were correct and to go over the timeline. He helped us stay on schedule on the day as well. 4. Most importantly, they kept everyone on the dance floor all night! It was the best party we're ever going to throw, and we had a nonstop great time. Thank you Amplified Events!

DJ Mike was simply the best. He was so easy to work with throughout the whole planning process and was very attentive to our needs. Him and Joey did such a great job keeping the party going and played all our favorite songs. From the music to the photo booth and uplighting, everything was so beautiful and better than we ever imagined. I could not recommend Amplified Events enough!

We recently used Amplified Events for our wedding DJ after the company was recommended through our venue The Walden Chicago. We could not have been happier with our decision! From our initial consultation with our day of DJ Mike (who is also the owner of the company!) everything ran so smoothly. Mike was extremely responsive with emails and wanted to assure that our style/taste was represented on our big day. Throughout the months leading up to our event we were able to share with Mike our preferred songs, do not play list, etc. all through an easily accessible app. We also met via a phone call the week prior to our wedding to run through bridal party member's names, first dance songs, etc. Mike answered all of our questions and provided us with a package that was affordable. His set up in our reception space was also simple and classy, which was unlike many wedding DJs we had seen before. The day of our wedding we continued to get compliments from guests on how great the DJ was (he really nailed the 2000's/90's/80s' throwbacks!) We will definitely be recommending Amplified Events in the future to our friends and family!
