I knew about Charizma Entertainment back in 2013 at my cousin's wedding - it was an absolute party and my mom kept their information. Well 10 years later, I was able to call Marz and book them for our special day! Marz was amazing to work with from beginning to end, always willing to answer a text, email, or call to answer our questions. When it got closer to the big day, he was able to introduce us to Jimmy and Walt who were going to be the DJs/MCs at our wedding. Jimmy spoke with me on the phone for over an hour to discuss every detail prior to the big day - from name pronunciations, to music play lists, to important moments we wanted to share with our loved ones. Walt worked our ceremony and it really allowed us to be in the moment and not worry about the music working correctly for timing. Walt and Jimmy absolutely CRUSHED it at the reception. They kept the music the right style the entire night and knew how to keep the energy moving and keep people on the dance floor. We received so many compliments from our guests about Jimmy and Walt. I knew going into wedding planning that music was a high priority for us for our guests and choosing Charizma Entertainment was the best decision we made. I cannot thank Marz, Jimmy, or Walt enough - we truly stayed on the dance floor the entire time.
CHARIZMA was the DJ for our wedding at the Chicago Cultural Center. They were fantastic. Walt and Jimmy kept the dance floor packed. They hyped up the crowd and made the evening one to remember. Prior to the wedding they did a call with the bride and room and reviewed the time line, music choices and made recommendations on how to make the evening flow smoother. They proposed an alternative timeline which we used and it worked out great. Marz, the main contact was very attentive, responsive and fun to deal with. We would definitely use Charizma for any other events requiring a DJ.
If I could give Charizma, 10 stars, I would!! Hands down the best decision we made for our wedding was having Marz and his team with Charizma as our DJ/emcee. Not only was he professional, passionate, and cares so much about the couple’s he’s working with, but he cares so much about making the day fun and exciting. The DJ was one of the most important things to us on our wedding day and Marz was easy to communicate with, and made sure that every single thing we needed was take care of and he had our lists of music choices well before the wedding day. On the day of, he was the life of the party and kept everyone on the dance floor the ENTIRE NIGHT! He even got everyone on the dance floor while we were out taking photos before the dancing even officially opened! He played music for all ages, and made sure everything mixed so seamlessly. EVERY SINGLE GUEST we talked to after our wedding raved about Marz and said he was the best wedding DJ they’ve ever seen. He even made sure my younger cousins were in on the fun of the dancing. 10/10 recommend Marz and his team to every single bride, you will not be disappointed!!
WOW, WOW, WOW. When looking for a DJ on the Knot we saw that Charizma Entertainment had a 5 start review, so husband and I decided ok let’s book them. Let’s just say we lost count on how many people asked us where we found the DJ. People were saying this is the best music variation they have ever heard. Team Charizma blended the music so well there was never a moment of silences. Our MOH speech included talk about the Backstreet Boys concert and at the end of the speech Walt played some BSB. That was amazing and touched the moment. Before the weeding we meet with the team twice to go over questions and concerns. We will 100% recommend them to everyone looking for a dj.
Couldn't receive anymore compliments for the music and entertainment at our wedding! Marz made it the hit of all our friends and family. Our guests even requested their contacts for their own events. BEST DJS EVER!
Walt and Jimmy were amazing! They kept the Dance Floor pumping for the entire reception, and had the perfect blend of music. Both Walt and Jimmy were incredibly professional.
Walt reached out to us ahead of our wedding to get an idea of what we were looking for in regards to music to play. And then they were able to roll with it, and make our wedding such a fun event!
We definitely will be using Charizma again for all of our DJ needs, and highly recommend booking them for your our events! They will not disappoint!
My sister, her sister-in-law, and now myself have enjoyed Charizma Entertainment for all of our weddings! Walt is an AMAZING host. They are so much fun, so detailed, and got absolutely everything right. I can't recommend them enough!
Marz and his team at Charizma are phenomenal and will be certain to make your event a hit.
We hired them for our wedding and ceremony and we couldn't be more impressed with him and his team. From the planning stage before the wedding, to the opening notes of our ceremony, to the closing song, Marz brought a genuine and contagious energy that just can't be faked or replicated. I say this as someone who comes from a large family with tons of weddings - each with DJs that (respectfully) don't hold a candle to what Marz did for our event. The only one that comes close was also DJ'd by another Charizma DJ, which was the reason I reached out to Charizma for our wedding in the first place. I say this to note that if you can't book Marz (which I would absolutely do again), the other talent at Charizma will be awesome.
Thanks Marz & team for making our wedding wonderful. The expertise yourself and your team brought absolutely made the event special, and that's something you can't put a price on.
My fiancé and I hired Charizma Entertainment for our wedding in September 2023. Our main goal was for our guests to enjoy the wedding. A key part of that is a good DJ and good music. Marz and Charizma entertainment exceeded our expectations. DJ Jimmy went above and beyond to make our day special. He incorporated personal touches throughout the event, helped all the speeches run smoothly, and kept everyone entertained. We attended several other weddings this year and none of the other DJs were even close to as amazing as this company. I would highly recommend them to any family or friends.
Walt absolutely killed it with our wedding this past weekend. He got the party started and kept it going all night. He really listened to the type of music we enjoy and what we did not want to hear. I will definitely be recommending Charizma!
Please look no further! Marz and his team are amazing and they made our day oh so special !
Marz was THE BEST, we truly cannot speak highly enough. Going into our wedding, the two things we wanted to prioritize was the music and the food - and Marz delivered on the music all night! Seriously, so many people complimented and said he did such a great job throughout the night MC'ing and DJ'ing and we can't thank him enough. Multiple people told us it was the best / most fun wedding they had ever been to, and we attribute much of that to Marz! Music selection, being able to connect with guests, interaction, taking requests - he did it all! Not to mention the best Hora we (and much of our family members) had ever been a part of! Marz seriously went out of his way to make it such a special night for us, making sure we connected with grandparents, family members, and so much more. If you want to have people on the dance floor all night at your wedding - you gotta go with Marz and Charizma!!
I cannot say enough good things about this company! Truly made our wedding spectacular. Prior to the wedding they sent me email reminders that they were still thinking about us, for any payments due, and for final appointments. This took away any anxiety about whether or not the double booked accidentally. Then for our details meeting he was so detailed and offered great advice. The wedding day… absolutely MAGICAL! They kept everything flowing and kept each activity of the wedding fun and interactive. We just kept hearing from all our guests how great they were. I would not use any other company for DJ services after using them. Truly mastered their art! Thank you Charizma Entertainment for making our day so memorable!
WOW - Walt was truly the star of our wedding day reception. We could not be happier with the way he was not only an amazing DJ, but also an incredibly fun and professional MC. He wowed us and everyone else at our wedding. SO many people came up to us afterwards wanting his information and to book him for their wedding. He got things going and kept them fun and exciting all night with his djing, dancing, letting the bride (me) DJ for a little (LOL) and keeping us and everyone happy and the dance floor alive. We know for sure our reception would not have been the same without Walt. Book him for your wedding - you will not regret it and you will have the night of your life!
We hired Walt to DJ our wedding, not realizing we hired a living legend. From the preparation of our set list and MCing the entire wedding, Walt made the entire evening. He coordinated all of the moving parts between the reverend, the father-daughter dance, the first dance, and groomsmen & bridesmaids' entrances and got people out to the dance floor that would not typically be on the dance floor. He knows how to get a crowd going, and keep them going. He was professional from start to finish but also knows how to have fun! We couldn't have been happier with Walt and recommend him to anyone looking to have a great wedding. It is now two weeks after our wedding and we have guests asking how they can hire Walt telling us he was the best DJ they've seen!
My now husband and I hired Charizma Entertainment for our wedding and we were blown away by how great they are! We had the pleasure of working with Walt on our special day and he did everything better than I could have imagined. There was not a single moment that the dance floor was empty. Beyond incredible at his job, would HIGHLY recommend him to other couples planning a wedding or any celebration really! Walt, you’re the best! Thank you for making our day so fun, I will never forget it.
Walt was absolutely amazing as our wedding DJ! It was an incredibly hot day in an open air venue so I was concerned that no one was going to want to dance, but he somehow managed to get everyone on the dance floor and having a great time despite the heat. He does above and beyond just playing songs and really engages with the audience to keep the energy going and the spirits high. Would highly recommend!
I attended a wedding by Charizma in 2016 and immediately had to get a business card - the way the DJ, Marz, captivated the whole room and turned it into one big party was unlike anything I had experienced before by a wedding DJ. When my best friend got married in 2018, we saw Charizma at a bridal event, and I shared my experience with her. She had Walt at her wedding and it was another amazing event! My stepbrother was then married in 2019 and there was Walt again. When we got engaged, I knew without a doubt that I needed to have Charizma Entertainment. Our wedding venue even provided a DJ, so I had to ask if we could bring our own - it was really a deal breaker! We were lucky enough to have Walt & Marz show up to our big day! Walt has such an amazing personality - he is so down to earth and he can bust some serious moves (and vocals) on the dance floor! Marz’s communication makes you feel so at ease leading up to the big day. I really prefer not to call them DJs because they are so much more - they keep the day running smoothly, they keep a pulse of the crowd, they check in with the bride and groom, and they keep the dance floor full with their music selections. We firmly believe that choosing the right DJ vendor is so important because it’s the heartbeat of the wedding reception. I can assure you will not go wrong with Charizma Entertainment!
We were lucky to have DJ Marz with DJ Jimmy T for our large wedding at the Chicago Cultural Center in mid-March. If you want guests to have a great time at your wedding, look no more! Marz is hands down the best DJ in Chicago, and quite possibly the world. I have now seen him at three weddings (including ours), and he absolutely MAKES the event. Let me explain: he will keep everything running smoothly; he will engage the crowd in creative ways; and he will get people on the dance floor. Full stop. He has SO much energy, and it will hype up your guests - believe me, he had EVERYONE dancing. As a Type A person (read: anxious bride), he was extremely responsive, and the online music/event planner was intuitive and easy to use, allowing us to have all of our “must play” songs available on our celebration night. Stop reading this review and give Charizma a call!
Absolutely 1,000% recommend Marz and his team! Music for our reception was always important to me, and we couldn't have had a better pick.
We got SO many compliments throughout the night on how great our two DJs were. They got everyone up on the dance floor (from 2 years to 82 year olds) and involved in the fun. They did an amazing job of keeping the energy up, picking great songs, and changing songs to match the vibe. Seriously, we cannot recommend them enough!! They made the night so perfect.
We found Walt at charizma entertainment at a friends wedding last October. We knew we had to have him as our MC at our wedding. Having a DJ and MC at our wedding was the best choice we ever could have made. Everyone had an amazing time and have not stopped talking about how amazing they were. 10/10 recommend this group for all DJ and entertainment needs!
My husband and I were recently lucky enough to have Charizma Entertainment at our wedding, and there are honestly just so many words we could use to describe our experience with them. Incredible. Amazing. Incomparable. If you choose to work with Charizma, whatever expectations you have, I can assure you, will be exceeded immediately and then exceeded more and more as your event goes on. I guarantee you that you have never seen a DJ or an MC like this. They could take a broom closet and turn it into party central within minutes. And while bringing the party is for sure their specialty, the relationship that we built with Marz (owner/MC) is what truly made this an incredible experience. Marz, along with everyone at Charizma Entertainment, genuinely care about their clients and their guests. From the one on one conversations, to how Marz will introduce someone giving a speech at your wedding, you’ll feel like your event is the most important thing in the world. I could honestly go on and on about how incredible the experience working with Charizma Entertainment was for my wife and I, and I hope you’re able to have the same experience as us. If you choose to hire them, once your party is over, all you’ll want to do is recommend them to everyone you know. They’re simply the best.
Marz was AMAZING as our DJ! Excellent song choices. Did exactly what my husband and I wanted. I had people contacting me for days just to rave about our DJ. You want a good time at your wedding Go with Charizma Entertainment!
If you don't hire Charizma Entertainment for your wedding or celebration in general... you're making a massive mistake. Marz and his team provide much more than DJ services. Charizma provided the sound and music for our ceremony, music for our cocktail hour and elevated our reception to heights I didn't know were possible for a wedding. Lets just say we should have requested a larger dance floor from our wedding venue. From the second the dance floor opened and all the way to the last song, the dance floor was jam packed. The Charizma Team did a phenomenal job starting the party and keeping it alive. The energy in the ballroom was like nothing I've ever witnessed at a wedding. Ari (our MC for the night) was hands down AWESOME! Her energy was electrifying and she did a phenomenal job making guests feel comfortable to dance. Heck, I'm not a huge dancer and I was breaking out moves I didn't know I had. All in all, I would recommend Charizma Entertainment over and over and over again. Thank you to the Charizma Team for making our special night one for the ages and an evening our guests will never forget.
THE BEST entertainment crew around!!! We first saw Marz and his team at our friend’s wedding a few years back and instantly knew we would use Charizma Entertainment for our own wedding. They are truly a grade above the rest because their packages offer a DJ AND an MC, which really gets the party started. And that’s exactly how our recent wedding was on April 24, 2021 - our guests were up dancing the entire time, just like we wanted!!!
I highly recommend hiring Charizma Entertainment for your wedding, even if your venue has a recommended DJ - there is nothing better than having Marz and the emcee at your event!! Thanks to all!
Wow...where do I even start? Charizma Entertainment was absolutely FANTASTIC. I knew Marz & his crew were amazing when they DJ'd my best friend's wedding back in 2017; however, having them apart of our wedding day was even more special. The guests raved about Marz and how entertaining he was (literally people of all ages made this compliment!) Not only was he super entertaining on the day of our wedding, he made the planning process super easy. We had a couple of Zoom calls prior to our date and Marz was easy to talk to and did such a good job offering suggestions with our timeline to ensure the night would run smoothly. Highly recommend Charizma Entertainment - you will not be disappointed!
IF I COULD GIVE 10 STARS I WOULD! Mars and Walt are nothing short of legendary! They are truly professionals who KNOW what they are doing. We are so grateful that Walt and Mars were apart of our special day. If we had to do it all over again we know we would absolutely have Charizma Entertainment apart of our experience. All of our guests, old and young, had an incredible time. Walt was always sure to check in with me throughout the night and kept the atmosphere flowing. Mars is excellent on the turntables and when both get out on the dance floor its amazing!! Thank you guys for making our day so incredible.
DJ Charizmarz was absolutely incredible. He got everyone involved on the dance floor and made our night so much fun. I received tons of compliments after the wedding specifically on the DJ! Would highly recommend him.
My Wife and I had seen Walt and his DJ perform at the Bartelt in 2017. After that night, I knew I wanted Walt to MC my wedding. We met with Mars and Walt at their office before wedding and we had such a great time I couldn’t stop thinking about how amazing our reception would be. Walt is a very kind person and you can tell he really cares.
At our reception, Walt and his DJ were spectacular! Everyone I spoke with said that MC and DJ were the best they had ever seen. Some of our guests stayed to the end of the Wedding because they didn’t want to miss any of the dancing. Our dance floor never emptied and people were so happy to celebrate.
The atmosphere Walt and his DJ create is exciting that you can feel energy from the guests all night.
I will recommend Charizma to anyone who is planning a wedding!
Charisma Entertainment is worth every penny! They truly want you to have the greatest experience and enjoy it with you. We had Marz as our MC and couldn’t be happier with the results! All of our friends and family loved how engaging they were with all of the guests at our wedding! If you are ever looking for a company to truly engage your guests, look no further than Charizma Entertainment!
Walt was amazing! He not only nailed our Disney theme but he got everyone singing and dancing. Everyone raved about our DJ. Seriously the best! Remember, your DJ is what keeps the party going!
I received so many comments at my wedding and the days after from guests saying how great the MC Walt was from Charizma. Marz and Walt had meetings with me before the event and made me feel comfortable knowing they had taken all my notes. They executed the whole thing from start to finish amazingly. I also really loved the photobooth photographer that came with them for the photobooth.
There is not enough words to say how amazing Marz and Walt are!! They MADE our reception and they made our night a night we will remember for a lifetime! From start to finish the dance floor was full and everyone was dancing! Music was played for everyone, they even played our daughters request of Baby Shark. They interacted with our guest and everyone from our wedding even other vendors keep telling use that they have never seen anything like Marz and Walt. If you are on the fence Charizma is hands down what you need to take your wedding to the next level!! THANK YOU SO MUCH MARZ AND WALT!!! xoxo
Marz was so sweet, energetic and engaging!!! There were 14 little attendants - all 11 years and under, the youngest was 2 years old. He met with the children before their entry introductions and gave them fun dance move instructions. I only wish I had a picture of them sitting around him and intently listening to him. (If I get a picture, I will post It). All the guests were standing up and applauding! He worked so well with the bride and groom in their music selections. Marz kept everyone on their feet dancing till the very end!!! Wonderful!!!
We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding day and reception. Our MC Walt was simply the best. He and the DJ created an atmosphere of pure fun. My husband and I like 90s Disney, and they incorporated two songs from A Goofy Movie into the reception. The guests LOVED that. Walt was a guest (and bride/groom) favorite!
They were professional, energetic, and were able to make a one-of-a-kind experience for us.
I would highly recommend, well worth the money spent.
Hands down the best money we spent on the wedding. My husband and I love to dance and we wanted to make sure the energy was up the entire time. Marz and Walt went above and beyond our wildest expectations. They had a wonderful meeting with us and made sure every detail was exactly what we wanted and tailored the playlist to our crowd and theme. Everyone at our wedding said they were the best DJs they had ever seen. They incorporated games and even got the wallflowers on the dance floor. They definitely made our reception a night to remember. 5 stars is not a high enough rating, they are easily 10!
This company is absolutely amazing and they have really shaken up what my husband and I have come to expect from a "wedding DJ". Their use of a DJ/MC combo keeps the energy of reception moving the entire time and they really know how to get EVERYONE up and moving! My husband and I first experienced Charizma Entertainment at my husband's lifelong buddy's wedding where we first met the founder, Marz. Before the night was over he had received so many compliments that we just had to have him for our wedding the following summer. After sitting down and contacting them about the date Marz discovered he was booked, but assured us we would be in great hands with his partner, Walt. We initially thought that no one could top the MC performance that Marz brought at my husband's buddy's wedding, but we were so mistaken! Walt absolutely rocked our wedding and yet again, the compliments flooded in! So many of our guests said that it was the most fun they've ever had at a wedding and we couldn't agree more! No matter who your MC/DJ crew is, this company will put on a performance you and your guests surely won't forget!
All I can say is WOW. This company has it all figured out. I worked with Marz on planning and then had Walt as my emcee for my wedding. The dance floor was packed all night, the energy was always high, and everyone had a blast. I have had so many people tell me that that our DJ was awesome and they had so much fun! I can't recommend these guys enough. Book them now!!
Marz is absolutely fantastic! He knows exactly what to do to get your guests up out of their seats and having a good time. When planning my wedding, I actually had a different DJ company booked. However, I went to a coworkers wedding who hired Charizma and realized I HAD to switch my DJ. I could not be more happy with the decision I made. Marz had all of our guests dancing at their tables during dinner and the dance floor was packed all night long! You can tell that Marz loves his job because he's on the dance floor with the guests too. I am still getting calls from my guests asking where I found such an incredible MC. I even had one of my cousins who lives in Colorado ask him about doing their wedding. I highly recommend Charizma Entertainment.
We hired DJ Walt Downing via Charizma Entertainment and could not have been happier! Walt kept the party going all night long and ran the whole event like a true professional. I can not more highly recommend Walt!
If you want people to dance, laugh, and say "awwwwe" all night - hire Walt! If you want your event to be lame - hire anyone else.
I still have people who come up to me and remark about how Walt is the best wedding DJ they have ever seen and they are right!
Ok... these people are no joke. I would suggest them to anyone who wants a wedding reception or event that keeps everyone involved the entirety of the night! Walt was our MC and never in my life have I ever met someone more passionate about their job and making sure everyone is having an amazing time! I was able to sit back and relax to enjoy my reception instead of being worried about all of the details! They are professional, energetic, smart and can really take your event to the next level!! Thank you for making my special day even more special!
We were familiar with Marz and Charizma when we decided to book them. One thing I didn't expect but I'm glad we got help with was planning a timeline. I didn't know what order things should be done or how long they should take. Marz was able to advise us on that. We used the online portal to indicate songs for special moments. Some of them were not common, but Marz made sure he found them. Music for our ceremony and reception were on point! The team was able to go with the flow as our friends and family made requests for obscure songs. There were almost no "stereotypical" songs played, and even those were mixed in a way that made them more interesting (I'm lookin' at you 'Cha Cha Slide'). The Charizma team really helped make this a night to remember.
PERFECT CHOICE!! Walt and Marz were amazing to work with and were everything we were hoping for in a DJ. Choosing them was our big splurge for our wedding and we are so glad we did.
They made the process easy and fun, even though we were planning from across the country. They handled everything professionally yet were light hearted and funny. The day of Walt and his assistant were able to handle all the unscripted changes the night brought and created an amazing dance party.
Thanks again guys!
I could not say enough good things about Marz and the Charizma team. They are amazing to work with and will make your wedding reception an awesome party! They are extremely interactive and create a very fun, high-energy experience that is a step above what you experience at most weddings because of the little extras they do to immerse guests in the experience and make everyone feel comfortable getting out on the dance floor. Our guests were raving about Marz and how awesome he was as our DJ. They did our ceremony music as well and were wonderful. The planning process was easy and they hit all of the cues and songs we wanted to hear played. I would highly, highly recommend to anyone looking for a DJ for their wedding. You will not be disappointed.
I'm not sure where to begin... Marz at Charizma was absolutely amazing to work with! From the beginning, he is extremely organized and knows how to make brides release their control, and let him do his amazing job. He truly made our night, the best night of our lives! He had everyone moving and dancing, no one ever sat down!!! He made sure we never had a lull or dull moment at the wedding!!! The DJ was one of our most important vendors, and THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!! You will not regret using Charizma Entertainment for your DJ services!!!!!
Very friendly and helpful- worked very hard!
Marz and Tim were Awesome! Couldn't have asked for a more memorable and fun evening. 5 days later and our guests are still raving on how you guys made a huge impact on our wedding. Marz went out of his way to make sure we got exactly what we wanted including making sure our bridal party entrance was that much more special and meaningful. We can't thank you guys enough!
Thank You Again!
Love,
Dan & Catherine J
Charizma Entertainment was the best choice we made for our wedding. The amount of energy and professionalism that was displayed throughout our reception was astonishing. Every friend and family member at our wedding raved about our choice of vendor. We even had a friend cancel her initial DJ for her summer wedding in order to hire Charizma Entertainment. She was THAT impressed. We loved working with Charizma and the entire process of working with them was incredibly smooth and fun-filled. DJ Marz has a great sense of humor and a remarkable talent. He is incredible at reading the crowd and knowing how to keep guests on the dance floor all night. Most importantly, he knows how to keep the guests wanting more! He would sing and dance with the crowd, and he never let the energy in the room die down. Everyone left that wedding with amazing memories. I am so sad it's over! I can't wait for all my friends and families to book Charizma Entertainment for their future weddings so that my now husband and I can relive the excitement we experienced on our wedding day. We also cannot wait to see DJ Marz again! Everyone who works for Charizma Entertainment is extraordinary at what they do!
Words cannot explain just how amazing this company is. My mind is blown with how much they truly care about couples having the best day of their lives. I met Marz and Walt at a bridal expo and there was an instant connection and I realized I want this company to be a part of my big day. I do not say this lightly, I am very particular about music. I met with Walt who is a DJ and MC and he was able to understand my vision. He went above and beyond making sure I was able to have the wedding of my dreams. People under estimate how important the role of a DJ is; it sets the tone of the entire day. Walt spent hours with us and was just as passionate about our vision. He was able to calm my anxiety I had about the whole day. I have to give him a HUGE shout out because he is the best. Our DJ was Jimmy who was so amazing as well and patient with me and my elongated playlist haha I also want to compliment how awesome Marz is. He spent the time really figuring out goodness of fit for us when assigning his staff members to my wedding. Thank you guys so much, we appreciate you! I had so many compliments from my guests bragging about how amazing you were!
Hiring Charizma was the best choice we made for our wedding! Our DJ/MC team was Marz and David and they were so much fun. The music moved seemlessly, the party never stopped! They helped keep things moving and on time and everyone loved their energy and movement! They even let my husband DJ for a little and he had so much fun. Seriously, best choice ever!
Walt and his team were amazing! Our guests were dancing non-stop until the very end! We loved working with them!
Charizma Entertainment was one of the main reasons why our wedding was absolutely amazing! Marz and his team are absolutely the best of the best. If you are wanting your guests to have stellar experience at your wedding- look no further!! Marz was exceptional as he ensured that our dance floor was packed the entire night! We had a wide mix of people at our event from young to old and there were always people on the dance floor. We heard such great things after our even about our entertainment and how our DJ/MC was the best they have every heard! We owe a great thanks to Charizma Entertainment and Marz for making our wedding day absolutely perfect! They are professional and classy and are a guarantee to make your event everything you have ever hoped for!
We are so glad we went with Charizma Entertainment for our wedding. We had come across Charizma through--funnily enough--a work Christmas event, where Marz had done an excellent job as an emcee and had referred to the eventual bride-to-be as the "Devil in the Blue Dress." Having this good vibe with Marz already, we were happy to work with him, but we have to say that him and his DJ exceeded all expectations. We had been expecting a great time, but had not anticipated that he would have all the tables up and dancing with his 45 second dance off contests, and that he would get the mother and sister of the bride up on the dance floor. Simply put, if you want the ultimate "hype" man, go with Charizma Entertainment, and request MC Marz. Thank you so much for making our wedding so much fun.
5 stars is just not enough. Marz was absolutely amazing! From our first meeting, to the day of the wedding he took care of any and every detail, to ensure that I had nothing to worry about. With everything going on with the wedding, Marz made sure that the planning process regarding the music couldn't be easier. On the day of our actual wedding, he made sure that everyone was up and having a great time at our reception. Our day would have not been nearly as memorable without Marz and Charizma Entertainment there.. so a million times THANK YOU!
If you want your wedding to be an epic party, stop your search because you will not find better than Walt and Charizma. Walt was the MC for our wedding on 8.19.17 and he went above and beyond the role of DJ and was better than we could have ever imagined. From our original meeting with him, we knew he would make our wedding a blast. He was very attentive during the planning process making sure he understood what we were looking for and checked in with us multiple times throughout the night to make sure he was meeting our expectations. From spontaneously having the room sing sweet caroline at dinner (which was just amazing) to his music selections and interactions with our guests, he really knows how to read a room and keep the party going. Our dance floor was full the entire night and everyone kept asking where we found Walt. I still get comments 6 months later about how amazing he was. We could not say enough good things about Walt and I am so happy we found him for our wedding. Do not hesitate to book Walt/Charizma for any event, you will not be disappointed.
If you book Charizma, you will not be disappointed. Walt made took our reception to the next level. It could not have been better. A month later and people are still talking about it!
So, it’s been three days since my daughter’s wedding, and I haven’t been able to post a review because I’M STILL DANCING! Charizma knocked it out of the park! Everyone at the reception has commented that it was the BEST WEDDING EVER!
These people are pros: Marz and Walt (and team) worked with us in the planning stage to ensure that my daughter and son-in-law’s entertainment vision was met. Marz peppered them with questions to ensure that he was in sync with their ideas. Marz made sure to include all the special shout-outs and recognitions that we gave him.
These folks worked the room. My 90-year-old mother was having a blast, and she commented that “they really know what they’re doing.” At one point, EVERYONE was on the dance floor… even Aunt Jeannie with her walker! Walt and Marz read the group and kept the music going all night long! I’ve already had 2 referral requests for Charizma!
There are not enough stars to rate the Charizma team. They exceeded expectations in every respect: from planning through execution, they made the evening memorable… not just for my daughter, but for every guest in attendance. Charizma rocks!
Most memorable DJ/MC, Marz had the wedding engaged, on their feet dancing the night away. From originally meeting him at wedding expo to the reception very responsive, organized, and honest. We personally requested Marz and he came thru even though it was his birthday. I will recommending Charizma Entertainment to everyone. Thank you again for creating memories that will last forever!!
I wish our review of Marz & Charizma could just be a video of our wedding. If you want all your friends and family to have the best night of their lives… go with Charizma. We had so many people come up to us and tell us that it was the best wedding they have ever been to. That is all because of Marz and Walt!!!! Marz noticed a few potential hiccups before the reception started and pulled us aside to knock it out fast and make sure everything was perfect. His attention to detail was beyond impressive. When we had a meeting with Marz he asked us what would you like us to play, we said “I don’t care, just make sure everyone has a good time and is on the dance floor”. A very difficult task in our opinion but they delivered better than we could have ever expected (maybe a little too much because they put people in such a good mood they started dancing on chairs…. Myself included). We have already recommended them to a close friend of ours who was unable to attend our wedding because they were off getting engaged. When I got back to work after our honeymoon, my whole office had heard about how awesome our reception was and how great of a time all of my coworkers had. We can’t give enough praise to Marz and Walt. I wish I could give them 50 stars. We are so thankful to the both of them and everything they did for us. Everyone says that your wedding day is the happiest day of your life but because of them it was also hands down the most fun we have ever had.
We absolutely loved Charizma. From start to finish, they were professional, responsive, and fun. The timeline they created was very helpful. Leslie was our emcee and DJ. I have never seen a dance floor fill up so quickly, and many of my guests said it was the most fun they have had at a wedding, which I know is in large part thanks to Charizma. She got everyone very excited during our intros, and perfectly transitioned between the different moments during the wedding. I have absolutely no complaints! We will be recommending to our friends, and some of our guests are already hoping to use Charizma for their own weddings. Thank you!
