Chicago Mobile DJs

unately, the night before our wedding he had a medical emergency and could not show up. An hour before our ceremony, our families were scrambling to figure out where he was and after trying every phone #, social media message, etc. we realized we had to try to find a completely new dj. A week after our wedding, Marcus finally called us and told us what happened. He eventually said he would need to do a sort of payment plan and could start paying us back after a gig in February. We spoke before the holidays to check in and he said he had to cancel Christmas for his family because he had so many medical bills and debts. We called again mid-February and asked for an update since we had seen on social media that he purchased expensive gifts, said he was going to school, was tagged in a video being at a bar a week after our wedding, and threw a party or event of some sort when he said he was too sick to work or go anywhere. It was very confusing and seemed to be a very different version of the person we had been talking to on the phone. He started becoming very rude on the phone-- condescending and even yelling at times. I wrote a review on a different site saying how we still haven't received money after 3 months. He ended up saying he would pay us if we took down the review. I told him that it shouldn't matter, but said I would take down the review in order to be paid. He said he was going to pay $100. After everything we were put through, I told him I couldn't accept only $100. He started talking about his health and financial troubles again and I told him I'm trying to get this settled before we have to file a case against him and his business. He then hung up and blocked my number. Regardless of how good of a dj he might be (we unfortunately will never know) it is not worth the risk in my opinion. Especially after reading more reviews and seeing his criminal background. Like I said, I really wish I would have read the reviews on here before paying money for nothing.

crippled all the industries especially the entertainment industry, but despite of that MARCUS still managed to GAVE us THE BEST PARTY EVER last Saturday!!! I received a Lot of compliments about our DJ! How nice he was, how organized he was, and how he was present and has presence of mind during an emotional like this. Marcus is great and He's really the Master DJ! He knows when to set up the mood and able to get everyone in the dance floor and have fun! He's a genuinely good person. He helped us to find some decorations for our reception (because the decorator Ive found online that we hired and we paid wasn't replyng anymore!) and he found us a very talented ice sculptor. I wished I coordinated everything with Marcus so I didn't had to worry about other things anymore about the wedding . We Trust him 100%. If you're looking for a DJ that would give you the party that you want, you want to get this man. He's very easy to talk to, replies right away and he (always) answered my calls regardless of the time we've called him, he has the system that was easy to navigate to organize all the songs you wanted to play on your event, his sound systems was good. If you have questions about Wedding or Event stuff, ask Marcus and He's able to help you and give you some good people to do the designated jobs. He has good connection because this guy has been in this industry for 18 years, doing his dream job and will show up eventhough it's his birthday.

Marcus agreed to return my 600 within 30 days and then he said he would give me back the 500 dep if he found another booking.. when the 30 days past I reached out to Marcus thru text he didn't reply and I found out I was blocked on fb.. I'm not the only one he has done this too I have screen shots from others with similar stories.. mind you he was my friend imagine what he would do to you if you aren't his friend and you are just meeting him.. I'm so upset seeing he knew I was a single mom and I paid for this myself .. please be careful find someone else to use.

ng a live song at our reception. Highly recommend!!!

un experience. He had no problem taking control of the day of activities and coordinating everything. He met with us a few days before and was in constant contact with me for any questions or concerns. He even took the time to think of perfect song choices for everything from our intros to pizza cutting at the end of the night. His energy and enthusiasm was infectious. All in all he made our day perfect. If you are looking for a dj that seemlessly transitions songs, has an awesome personality, is extremely knowledgeable, and at the end of the day helps you have the day of your dreams, then Marcus is your guy. Book him today!

to feel all the love! Thank you so much Marcus you went above and beyond my expectations!

s your guy.

coworker who used him at their wedding and they said the dance floor was packed all night. The same was true for our wedding. Marcus allows you to create a play and do not play list, which we had some suggestions in both those categories. After meeting with Marcus, my bride and I saw how much he really cares about our night being a huge success, and gained full trust in him. Our philosophy was to let Marcus feel the room and play what got the crowd going, and he did not disappoint. We had everybody out there dancing, from our elderly Aunts and Uncles to college students. He did so much more than just play music… he filled the room with energy and set the tone of the entire evening, he was our time keeper, and he also played attorney as he advised us to ask the venue to extend our time (and open bar) due to their delay in getting the food out, which they did! I cannot say enough good things about Marcus. If you want one less thing to worry about on your wedding day, I strongly recommend Marcus, because I can guarantee that the DJ will not be one of them!

some great photos from the wedding. He was my unofficial photographer in which we got the photos with in a few days of the wedding. Highly recommended marcus and Chicago mobile DJs. He gas the best equipment aswell!!!!

brought us snacks during outdoor pics, served us our dinner drinks to our table (when our venue didn't), bustled my dress (whoa)!!, and we got SO many compliments on our DJ. You also kept me in check when the hoopla and chaos was going on. You were literally my day-of wedding coordinator. OH, and you captured so many camera shots that my photog didn't. Marcus, you KNOW weddings and u care and you're beyond pro. #chicagomobiledjs!

loved that we could customize our playlist and truly make the day special for us. I have never seen so many of my closest friends and family together on one dance floor, and the dancing went on all night. People who never dance were even dancing and everybody told us they had the best time. We all loved his candid dance floor pictures too- there are some priceless ones in there that the photographer or videographer did not even catch! My maid of honor, whom i have danced and partied with before PLENTY of times even told me she could not remember a night where she had danced that much. Marcus was a true pleasure to work with and made our day one to remember! Thank you for all your hard work and attention to detail for our big day! We hope we can find an excuse to have to hire a DJ again soon!

to worry about a thing the whole night as he kept the reception running smoothly! This was invaluable! My husband and I are extremely happy with service!

t songs. The only reason for a 4 out of 5 is we didn't seem to hear many of the songs we put on our 'must play lists'. But maybe I wasn't paying enough attention. Thanks again Marcus, wonderful time!

s. He really cares about what you want and making your day perfect. He had perfect music for every age and made everyone happy. I want to get married all over again just to have Marcus D.J., My aunt is getting married soon and she is using him as well. Please email me if you have any questions. Natalie.hukill@gmail.com. Highly highly highly recommend him!!!

" and directing the flow. Laid back but responsible and competent. Great, great hire!!

rage age of the guests was between 35-40, he played music that not only got everyone up and dancing, but had them singing out loud at their tables during dinner! Before the wedding Marcus went above and beyond to find an instrumental version of a song my soloist was going to sing. He finally found it at Amazon UK, but unfortunately, it didn't arrive in time to use in the ceremony...but it wasn't for lack of trying. Thanks Marcus for the effort. The bottom line is that due to Marcus and his great music selections, our wedding was the party of the decade...at least for our family and friends. Thanks Marcus...Lynn & Peter

p and makes you feel like you a difficult person to deal with even though it was our wedding!! Marcus had a "family emergency" so he could not DJ our wedding, which thank God for Eagle Ridge Resort and Megan who handled the mix up for Marcus. This cost us extra money that chicago Mobile DJ NEVER reimbursed! my surprise Chicago Mobile DJ missed our ceremony, which they were paid to do, and at no time was I informed this by Marcus. I had to call him two days after our wedding to find out what happened. Again no reimbursement from Marcus!!. Chicago Mobile DJ did have a replacement DJ there for our reception and he did the best he could under the circumstances. My wife and I were not happy with Marcus as he didn't catch up his replacement to speed on our requests, as all the other reviews stated that they did. Ive been trying to deal with this situation with Marcus since May 25th 2015 and last spoke to him August 7 2015 and left the ball in his court for some sort of resolution to the problem. HE HAS NOT RESPONDED AS OF YET ITS AUGUST 18TH. Marcus is a good DJ and has a good product , but definitely doesn't practice good business skills. If nothing comes up your good to go with Marcus BUT beware if something does dont expect much from Marcus and Chicago Mobile DJ's.

zing job making sure everything ran on schedule and got everyone dancing and having a great time. Marcus also posted tons of great pictures after the event. We couldn’t be happier with the level of service provided by Chicago Mobile DJs!

s the photographer missed. We only had one photographer, so Marcus took it upon himself to take over 700 pictures (all of which he had posted to FB the next morning) including the super special moment of me getting ready to walk down the aisle with my dad. Marcus was always available to talk beforehand if I needed too and insisted we talked everything through about a week prior. He is informed whenever you login to his website, and he will reach out just in case you have any questions. He was also great at stepping into action and giving direction when needed. He really likes to be involved in your special day, and gets just about as excited as you are. Marcus was definitely the right choice for us!

mails. Highly recommend!

perfect and we got to take a picture behind his equipment, which turned out to be one of my favorites of the night!

o songs... etc, and making himself available for any other questions we came up with. He then completely delivered the night of our wedding. The dance floor was PACKED!!! We made some song suggestions and he just took it away from there. I was honestly SO impressed. And he did a wonderful job hosting and keeping us on time for when the toasts would need to be, the bouquet toss, garder removal, etc... he was a lot of the reason why I didn't even need a wedding planner. I WOULD GIVE MORE STARS IF I COULD!!
