Aly was so awesome! Her communication and customer service was on point. She was very flexible and professional. We had gotten string lights, drapery, greenery, and a dancefloor for our event. I would definitely recommend Elevated Events for your decor needs!
We had a wonderful experience working with Elevated Events for our wedding and would absolutely recommend them! When I first reached out nearly two years ago to inquire about draping at our venue (Ravisloe Country Club), Kourtney was super helpful and answered all of my questions over both phone and email. Elevated Events had previously completed ceiling and entrance draping at our venue, so I was able to see pictures and fully visualize how the reception room would look on our wedding day. On the day of our wedding, the draping looked incredible and it felt like we stepped into a fairytale. The team did such a wonderful job and all of our guests were so impressed with how beautiful the room looked with the draping! Thank you Elevated Events!

I am so glad everything looked exactly as envisioned! We have to agree it looked straight out of a fairytale! Thank you for sharing the pictures. The room was stunning and definitely came to life when you and your guests entered. Best wishes!
Everything was fantastic! Marco did an amazing job with the great music! He did an amazing job in all aspects including introductions, transitioning to different events in the night, and being a great host. It was an awesome experience!

Thank you so much, Ryan! Marco still speaks fondly of your wedding night. We wish you and Jessica a lifetime of happiness!! <3
Any questions?
Couldn't dream of a better vendor to work with. They came in at the 11th hour and made our reception incredible.
- We explained our vision for the reception lighting, and they were genuinely excited to bring it to life with the flair of a true artist.
- We were offered lots of different options and different price points, even giving us a discount despite the tight turnaround.
- We ended up getting a photo booth, for which they offered customized photo strips, using the same graphic design elements as the invitations we designed.
- A joy to communicate with, easy to tell that they are genuine and passionate about what they do.

J! We had such a wonderful time working your and Danielle’s celebration. It was so great working with you two. You and your guests were so generous and fun! Wishing you two a lifetime of happiness.
AMAZING WORK!! They did drapery, fairy lights behind the drapery, white dance floor cover, and it looked BEAUTIFUL. Guests kept commenting on how beautiful the decor was and I have Elevated Events to thank for that. They even came in the night before my wedding and set up, making the process completely smooth. They can do basically anything you need in terms of decor, just ask them and they will be able to accommodate. Thank you, EE for making my wedding day the absolute most beautiful day ever!
Response from the Vendor on 06/28/2024
We think it turned out so beautifully as well! Thank you for allowing us to bring your vision to life. Best wishes, Nicole and Sean!
Elevated Events was an awesome vendor to use. Their price is fair, the DJ was spectacular and the photo booth was a huge hit. I would recommend using them for any wedding/event for entertainment.

Thank you so much, Quinton! We wish you and Maggie a lifetime of happiness!!
I had the pleasure of working with Kourtney, who is the coordinator and she was one of the best people to work with. She was so attentive, flexible and absolutely the sweetest - she helped me from music choices to last minute decor necessities. I ended up having Marco as our DJ for the night and he was AMAZING. he kept everything on track, made sure everyone was having fun and really understood what i was looking for! We also used Elevated events for our fantastic photobooth!
Response from the Vendor on 12/29/2023
Aww I love you, Jaime! You were such a joy to take through this process. Marco and I wish you a lifetime of happiness :) - Kourtney
From start to finish, Elevated Events was amazing!! Kourtney was so quick to answer any and all questions I had. I changed my mind a bunch on decor and add ons, and Kourtney always gave the best advice. The day of, I was not worried about a single thing!!! The decor turned out INCREDIBLE, beyond anything I could have ever imagined!! The room looked straight out of a magazine. People are still talking about the sparkular machines! Aside from that, Patrick the DJ was just an absolute delight! The dance floor was ALWAYS packed, and even the pickiest guests complimented how good the music was! I would recommend Elevated Events 100000x over, I am SO HAPPY to have found them! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Response from the Vendor on 12/29/2023
Thank you so much for the kind words, Gianna! We agree that your wedding came straight out of an editorial. You and Jonathan looked like models and that was definitely the icing on the cake. We wish you the happiest life together! <3
If it was possible to give more than 5 stars we would. We have nothing but good things to say regarding the communication from Kourtney leading up to our big day, to the party that Patrick was able to put on. We HIGHLY recommend using elevated events for any occasion.
Response from the Vendor on 12/28/2023
We were so happy to be a part of your evening. Hoping to work with your friends soon so we can all party together soon!
PATRICK was our dj and he was truly amazing. So friendly and has a really fun personality. He followed everything we wanted and listened to us very well during our meetings. This company was so easy to work with and really helped take stress off me during the wedding planning process. Patrick was organized, on time and made sure we weren’t worried about anything in our special day. He made sure the dance floor was never empty by feeling the crowd out and playing what he thought was fitting. I will be recommending this company and Patrick to my friends and family! You will not regret trusting them with your special day. Thank you for the bottom of our hearts for being so amazing

Thank you so much for your kind words! We are wishing you and Jesus a lifetime of happiness :)
We used Elevated Events for our wedding and they did a great job!! They provided their DJ services and a Photo Booth and both were a huge hit throughout the entire night. It was super easy to work with this company and they provided great customer service. I would recommend them to everyone!
Response from the Vendor on 12/22/2023
Thanks so much, Kelly! We had the best time working with you throughout the entire process. Best wishes to you and Austin!
Kourtney on the planning team and Marco DJing we’re both great to work with. They so easily helped us with both the ceremony and the reception. The took the vibe from all of our song suggestions and made it such a fun night!
Response from the Vendor on 12/22/2023
Thank you, Trevor! I really enjoyed working with you and Hannah, throughout the entire process. Marco said you and your guests were the best!
Everything was great! Marco was a great DJ.. everyone was dancing the whole night. Communication with Kourtney was also top tier
Response from the Vendor on 12/22/2023
Thank you, Megan! We had the best time partying with you!!
WOW! I cannot say enough about this company! This was my favorite vendor I worked with. Kourtney was a great communicator and made my dream come to life with the backdrop at my wedding. She made us comfortable with the whole process. Marco was the best DJ ever! He made sure the dance floor was crowded all night long with great hits! He was great at coordinating the music and keeping my husband and I in the loop with everything! We got so many compliments on the music choices! If I had to rank this company on a scale of 0-10, I would go with an 11/10 because they were so exceptional! Thank you for making our wedding so special!
Response from the Vendor on 12/22/2023
Cannon, Marco and I enjoyed working with you and Tim throughout the entire process! We feel so blessed to be your favorite vendor. I am loving the sneak peeks but I can't wait to see even more pictures. Stay in touch :) - Kourtney
We had a wonderful experience with everyone at Elevated Events! Kourtney was so helpful leading up to the event. DJ Greta was amazing!! She was able to read the room and kept our reception going til the very end of the night!
Response from the Vendor on 11/24/2023
We loved working with you, Carly! Wishing you the best always :)
Elevated Events decorated my reception venue beautifully for my wedding! Kourtney was always very responsive and made everything so easy and stress-free for my wedding!
My only minor complaint is that the draping was thin for my wedding. I was expecting the drapery to be a little bit thicker than what it was.
Response from the Vendor on 10/11/2023
Hi Hannah! I am so glad you loved the decor! We really appreciate your feedback as well :)
We had a wonderful experience throughout the entire planning process with Elevated Events. They were extremely responsive and patient as we navigated through planning. They are extremely organized by using different questionnaires. Our guests were dancing all night long and our DJ was extremely responsive during the wedding day. He was always checking up on myself and my husband to make sure we were happy. Overall, I highly recommend!
Response from the Vendor on 01/16/2023
Thank you so much, Amanda! We had the best time partying with you and your guests. We can't wait to see your full gallery and relive the day!
We used Elevated Events for our DJ, Photo Booth, sparkler machines, and lighting. We received so many compliments related to the services they provides. Our sparkler exit was a crowd favorite. The machines were a huge surprise and added extra excitement. I would recommend adding this effect to every wedding. We are trying to think of other events we can have to use them!
Response from the Vendor on 01/16/2023
We'll be at your next birthday with sparkulars! Sparkulars for Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day? :)
Kourtney and Patrick were an integral part of our wedding. I wanted the day to be perfect for my bride and Kourtney helped me throughout the entire planning period. When it came time for the big day, Patrick, our DJ, made sure to follow through with every promise. We are both so thankful we found Elevated Events and can't imagine our day without them.
Response from the Vendor on 01/16/2023
We loved working with you, Jordan! From our first phone call, I knew we were going to be a great match. I am glad you and Laura felt the same way :)
- Kourtney
Booking Elevated Events was a lifesaver. I did a final walkthrough of my venue and realized that I needed a lot of decor help. They came to the rescue providing a vinyl wrapped floor, patterned lighting on the floor, multiple backdrops, uplighting around the room, stair railing decor, and a Photo Booth. We are so thankful for the attention to detail and beautiful product. <3
Response from the Vendor on 01/16/2023
Your venue was soooo beautiful but we loved the additions you made. The white vinyl floor with a patterned light projection was a show stopper for sure!
I booked Elevated Events directly through the knot. I had a great connection with Kourtney from the beginning. She was so helpful throughout the entire process (even staying calm when I switched songs last minute). Our DJ Marco was the BEST! He listened to our must plays and do not plays, and was still able to fit in requests from guests!!
Response from the Vendor on 01/16/2023
Aww Claire, your wedding was the first wedding I booked, after being promoted to lead coordinator. You will always have a special place in my heart! - Kourtney
The photo booth attendant, Andrew, EVERYONE LOVED him. He had so much enthusiasm, kept the photo booth moving, had patience with the little kids who took A LOT of pictures, was genuinely fun and kind. He needs a promotion!
Response from the Vendor on 01/16/2023
Andrew is the best! We knew he would be the perfect fit for your family. Update: we definitely gave him a raise!
We hired Elevated Events for DJ and Photo Booth. Our DJ was David and he was so great! Most of our crowd was on the older side and he had everyone up and dancing. We cannot thank David and the entire team enough. Hiring Elevated Events was the best/easiest decision we made!
Response from the Vendor on 01/16/2023
Thanks for your kind words Kate! David had so many stories to share which is the sign of an extraordinary evening. So honored to be a part of your day!
We used Elevated Events for DJ and Photo Booth. Our DJ, Patrick, is the owner of the company and he made us feel like stars. Our main goal for our wedding was FUN! Patrick and the Elevated Events team made our whole evening a night to remember. With last minute changes (due to a tornado!), we never felt concerned. Thank you Elevated Events!
Response from the Vendor on 01/16/2023
You and Chris remained so calm with all of the changes due to the tornado. We felt so lucky to be a part of your day. Can't wait to see all the pictures of your TWINS!
We used Elevated Events for DJ and Photo Booth. The DJ kept our guest entertained all night and we had a pretty rowdy crowd!! The Photo Booth comes with props and customized strips. It really added a personalized touch to our wedding. We are so thankful for Elevated Events. Highly recommend!!
Response from the Vendor on 01/16/2023
David said he had the best time at your wedding! The garter toss/chair dance to Pony was the highlight of the evening. You guys are so funny! Miss you!
You guys were AMAZING and so kind. You brought so much joy and fun to our big day. Forever grateful!
Response from the Vendor on 01/16/2023
We love you and Megan! Can't wait to meet your little one so soon. We'll be at her first birthday to DJ! :)
Elevated Events was great to work with- I was so happy with the drapery they installed at our wedding. It truly transformed the room, and gave it that extra sophisticated touch. I didn’t have to worry about set up and takedown for the event, they were there to take care of everything. They were collaborative and responsive to my vision, all for a reasonable price!
Response from the Vendor on 12/06/2022
Thanks so much, Clare! We show people your wedding pictures for inspiration all the time. Your vision was so beautiful. We were more than happy to bring it to life!
Elevated Events were incredible! Patrick and Kourtney had a Zoom call with me and my now husband twice to help us curate the best version of our playlist, sent us personal questionnaires that made it super easy (and fun!) to create a list of must-have songs and musical pieces, and they were SO sensitive to our needs in terms of having international family members and guests. They made SURE that each and every name was spelled out phonetically for them and to pronounce it correctly, and they also listened to our needs for adding in Serbian folk music for my (the bride) side of the family so we can dance our giant epic circular dance called Kolo! Our first dances with our parents were also super special - My dad in particular picked an out of the ordinary piece for us to dance to - a dark waltz by the Russian classical composer Shostakovich - and Patrick made sure to play it just as long as we specified (2 minutes). Patrick even reached out to our day-of wedding coordinator to arrange everything with her, we didn't have to lift a finger and he made this process so stress-free. On the day-of Patrick was so prepared and timely, he double-checked the entire list and order of all of the bridal and groom parties - which was such a lifesaver because we had a mess-up and that could have easily gone unnoticed and the wrong people could have easily been announced. So kudos for doublechecking everything! The lights and music and all of the banter in between that Patrick had arranged and curated was beyond our expectations, and the price for it all was UNBELIEVABLE! There were DJ's out there trying to charge us for twice as much, for half the work that Elevated Events does. We feel so lucky to have found such an amazing and talented vendor, thank you Patrick and Kourtney for making our special day run so smoothly! We truly had a blast thanks to you! 10/10 will recommend to all of our family and friends.
Response from the Vendor on 12/06/2022
Thank you sooooo much, Jelena! It was such a pleasure to work with you and Justin. We can't wait to see pictures of the little one on the way! :)
My husband and I hired Elevated Events for our wedding reception to do our uplighting, a monogram, and our DJ. We could not have been happier with their services! Our DJ was absolutely amazing we received so many compliments from our guests about how great of a job he did! The uplighting was beautiful and so was the monogram! Kourtney was our main contact at Elevated Events, in which she was soooo wonderful!! She was always responsive for any questions she had and she had great suggestions!! I don’t think we could’ve done it without all her help! We highly recommend using Elevated Events for your wedding or event needs! You will not be disappointed!
Response from the Vendor on 12/05/2022
Thank you so much for the kind words, Ashley! You were such a pleasure to work with. We hope you have the best holiday season :)
Elevated Events is the best! Our venue decorations had our wedding looking like something out of a dream. They even helped in other areas of the venue/event to ensure we had the smoothest day possible. I never worried about a single thing the entire time and am so grateful that I selected them to work our event. Thank you to the entire EE team!!!!!
Response from the Vendor on 12/05/2022
Thanks so much Jim! We were happy to help. Your and Laura's vision turned out so stunning!
Elevated Events was amazing to work with.Kourtney and her team were quick to respond to emails and questions. They truly wanted to make our day perfect. I used this company for a band stage, room draping, white dance floor overlay which included a monogram and sparkulars for our first dance. They listened to my budget and executed my vision better than imagined. Very professional. Highly recommend!
Response from the Vendor on 09/08/2022
Thank you so much, Jessica! You made the entire process so much fun. I am so lucky I got to see you on the big day :) - Kourtney
DJ Patrick packed our dance floor all night! He was absolutely incredible.
Response from the Vendor on 07/20/2022
We LOVED working with you and your husband. Looking forward to seeing you both at Andrea's wedding in October!
Elevated Events took our run-of-the-mill venue and made it into something spectacular! All of their suggestions were excellent and they really kept our price point in mind, while still offering us options. We never would have thought to use lighting in the creative ways that they did and couldn’t believe how it transformed the space when combined with draping.
We booked with Elevated Events straight from their website. We really liked how straightforward everything was and how quickly Aly responded to our questions throughout the planning process. Their DJ service was the best ever.
Response from the Vendor on 07/20/2022
Thank you for the kind words. It was so great to design with you. The ceiling wash ended up looking so beautiful!
This company is the real deal and worth every penny. Patrick and Andrew were a huge part of the success of our wedding day. Especially if you do not have a day of planner/coordinator, their team is so helpful in keeping the day moving forward, on time and enjoyable.
Response from the Vendor on 07/20/2022
Andrew said he has never had more fun working a photo booth! We're glad to hear you enjoyed working with us as much as we did with you!
Booked all of their services! Elevated Events is such a great wedding entertainment company. Their staff set us at ease, helped throughout the planning process and over delivered on our wedding day.
Response from the Vendor on 07/20/2022
We loved working with you! Patrick said there was no standing room on the dance floor!
Our decor from Elevated Events was beautiful. They were very easy to book/work with! All of the draping was meticulous, the pin spots were a great suggestion and the sparkulars were great fun!
Response from the Vendor on 07/20/2022
The sparkulars were the best way to exit. I can still hear the cheering!
My partner and I wanted to make sure that everyone felt included with our music choices and Andrew made that happen. Everyone danced (and danced some more) and thoroughly enjoyed themselves all night long. We got to enjoy a stress-free planning process as well.
This company has such a great approach to wedding entertainment. Our reception was fun, with the right amount of professionalism.They did a great job of making sure our guests were having a good time and went above the call of duty making sure we were taken care of as well. My dad still hasn’t stopped talking about them.
We booked this company completely online before even meeting with anyone because we really appreciated their transparency. Their website was so easy to navigate and do our research on our own time. Their team did a wonderful job.
Music was in our top 5 most important things for our wedding, so needless to say, we didn’t take the decision to book our DJ lightly. Elevated Events was the perfect fit for us. Aly worked with us so closely on planning and was always able to offer excellent suggestions when we asked. Patrick was our DJ on the day of and did an amazing job putting all of our planning into action. The greatest wedding vendor team you’ll work with for sure.
We booked with Elevated Events in 2019 for our 2020 wedding, which ended up happening in 2021. The whole staff at Elevated Events made this whole horrible process over the last two years so much better. Aly checked in on us during all of the uncertainty that was 2020 and made rescheduling easy. When our wedding date finally happened in May of 2021, they made it so worth the wait. We could tell they went above and beyond for us.
Aly & Patrick were the greatest team! Aly handled most of our planning and was very helpful throughout this process. They both worked together the day of our wedding on our DJ, uplighting and photo booth. All of our friends kept telling us how much fun they had at the booth with Aly. It was so nice to find vendors that made us feel like family.
Straightforward, helpful, professional and fun! Elevated Events was a great find for us.
Elevated Events didn’t treat us like just another client. They make you feel like family and took an interest in getting to know us as a couple, our music preferences, and really hit it off with our guests too! They just felt like such a natural part of our wedding.
3 wedding dates later—thanks, Covid-19—Elevated Events made it worth the wait. Such fun and the service felt so personal (we did get to know eachother pretty well after planning together for a year and a half, but still).
This company is accommodating, helpful and professional. Searching for wedding vendors can be hard and planning can feel overwhelming, but they make it so easy.
Booked this company after experiencing what they do at a friend’s wedding. Not only are they’re DJs great (we had a different one than our friends did), but the photo booth from Elevated Events is one of the most fun photo booths we have ever used! Andrew and Patrick totally killed it and brought our party to life.
Patrick went above and beyond to make sure we and our guests had a great night. No matter what request was thrown at him, he was able to find the song and play it at the perfect time. He had a great way of cycling through music to keep everyone coming back to the dance floor for more.
The best team around. Aly, Patrick and Andrew were out DJ, Photo Booth and Decor team—so supportive to us and our whole wedding party throughout the whole night. Every time we needed one of them, they magically appeared. Our best vendor decision was definitely Elevated Events.
Reached out about booking multiple decor elements, but after working with Patrick on our vision and budget, we simplified to just go with uplighting and pin spot lights. We were truly wowed by how personal and elegant the lighting made our reception space. We definitely would not have gone that way if it weren’t for Patrick’s great advice. My wife and I were so happy with the final product.
We were very happy to book with Elevated Events. They handled are multiple covid-reschedules with ease. When our big day finally happened, they made sure everything was beyond perfect.
Thank you, Elevated Events! Aly took care of all of the coordinating and the team onsite the day of was friendly and professional.
We were so pleased to have selected MWES Weddings for our primary wedding service provider. They did our decor (including table linens, white vinyl dance floor and string lighting over dance floor), DJ (our guests NEVER stopped dancing!!) and photo booth (the most fun we’ve ever had in a photo booth). The MWES team worked hard to ensure that everything could go as according to plan as possible. We thoroughly appreciated their dedication to us throughout the entire process.
We used MWES for decor and DJ services. The decor was great! DJ services not so much!
They make you use a software to input the DJ list and your important songs (first dance..etc). A lot of songs are not in the software so you end up having to email it anyways. The DJ will call you the week before the wedding and sort of go over things. I assumed since all of the songs were in the software program that he knew everything. Unfortunately our entrance song was wrong, our walking back down the aisle song was delayed, the order of the evening was a little off and etc.
I take partial blame because I should have gone into more detail with him on the phone.
Regardless everything turned out amazing! I just recommend really going through the play by play of the evening.
So glad we booked MWES for our wedding. It was perfect and our guests had a great time. We definitely recommend this company.
Ally and Patrick were awesome during our whole experience with them. From booking them to the day of they had everything to put together. They were so honest and made planning easy. Their planning website was a huge plus too. I was able to log in and update thing whenever I needed. The day of the wedding everything went so smooth, they were able to keep the night moving and get people dancing. I highly recommend them !!
Definitely hire this company! Every employee was so nice and so helpful. Brittany even took the time to help me come up with ways to incorporate our dog into the ceremony. It really felt like OUR wedding and not just A wedding and I think that's really important. I definitely recommend MWES Weddings for all of their services but especially DJ and Decor!
We used MWES Weddings for both DJ and Photobooth services. The music selection had a great variety and kept people out of their seats all night. Every guest thanked us for having the photobooth there...it's such a fun extra way to commemorate the evening. Working with Brittany and Ally was a delight! They clearly love what they do and had a fun energy. I definitely recommend this group to my friends.
The BEST dj we've encountered in a while. We've been to a lot of weddings lately with super lame djs and we were afraid we'd have the same issues, but Aly was great! Everyone was dancing, from my young teenage nieces to our grandparents! There was a great mix of old and new music and everyone had a blast! If the fun dancing wasn't enough, our guests also had an awesome time in the photo booth and we love our scrapbook. What a great idea!
very fun, professional employees and good packages
My wife and I love MWES. Patrick, Smooch and Brittany were great to have working the wedding. They were all so professional, yet still very fun. We first booked our DJ service through them, but then added additional uplighting and some white furniture for our reception. Everything looked beautiful and we never had to worry about anything the entire time! Definitely recommend this company to any and all.
Great service, fun and professional company. Everything went according to plan and they were great about being timely during setup. Even our venue commented on how great the were to work with. We couldn't be happier with our uplighting - the room was beautiful and intimate. The DJ was fun and kept our guests dancing. The photo booth was the hit of the reception - the props were some of the best ever!
Quite happy with our decor from MWES. Wonderful customer service provided throughout the booking, planning and day-of process. We've already recommended them to friends! So many options and services offered, but so good at each of them.
We booked our dj pretty late in the game because we had a really hard time choosing one. We could not be happier that we ended up choosing MWES. What I appreciated the most was how Aly checked in on us throughout the planning process, even though we took a while to make a decision. That was the biggest reason we booked with this company. We knew if they took care of us before booking, they would do the same for us after and on our wedding day.
Great company and top-notch service. We definitely recommend this company!
Brittany ran the photo booth at our wedding and made it super fun! There were so many cute props to choose from, there was a line almost the whole time it was open. I really love the album we got to keep at the end of the night with each photo strip that was taken and lovely messages from all of our guests. We'll treasure it for sure!
We hired mwes to dj and do lighting for our outdoor wedding. We had up lights and several strings of the italian lights. It was just beautiful. Truly even better than I had seen on pinterest. We danced all night under our gorgeous lights! Thanks mwes weddings!
Thanks again for helping us put our wedding together. You guys are really fun to work with. We're already planning to hire you again for our anniversary parties! :)
Our DJ had the best taste in music! I just gave her a few of our favorite songs and the rest of the night she played a bunch of other songs that were a blast to dance to! We got lots of compliments from our relatives for finding such a fun DJ. I'm glad i'm getting the opportunity to pass the compliments along!
Thanks to MWES weddings. The quality of their decor items was superb and the employees really had an eye for details. They did our backdrop, centerpieces and lighting. It was very convenient and affordable to be able to use the same company for all of those things.
I'll admit that we waited until what felt like the last minute to hire our wedding vendors, so we got really lucky when we found mwes. They supply almost every service that you need! We used their dj, lighting and decor services and are very happy that we did! 5 stars for sure!
Our wedding was a huge success thanks to MWES Weddings. We hired them for DJ, Photo Booth, Decor and Lighting. Friends and family are STILL talking about what an incredible winter wonderland our reception was!
Midwest Event Solutions is an excellent, all in one package. The employees were very nice and professional. They left my backyard the same way they found it.
MWES weddings DJed our reception, but the best decision I made was having them do our ceremony sound. I have a very strong desire to be as different as possible from average or run of the mill ceremonies. So, of course, I had to have as many sci-fi and film references as possible. Being crazy busy planning everything else, I didn’t have time to choose specific songs (believe me, it was hard to give up any control at all) so I gave them a list of all of our favorite TV shows and movies. One of their employees, Allie, found the perfect song from each of the movies and shows and together we chose which ones should be used for each aspect of the ceremony. It was the best. The wedding party walked down the aisle to the theme from Jurassic park, I walked to a song from demolition man and we finished it off by walking back out to the theme from star trek the next generation. Thanks for helping me make an unforgettable experience for us and our guests!
Thumbs up to mwes! When my mom dropped off the centerpieces for the reception right before the ceremony she said everything was already set up and ready to go. Lighting, dj booth, photobooth. Everything. I think theyre awesome.
We hired Patrick to do lighting for our wedding reception. He exceeded our expectations by setting up a couple extra lighting fixtures for free when the 10 that we had planned for didn’t fill out the space. It was a true pleasure working with him and I would hire him again in a heartbeat.
Thanks for making our wedding day feel like a breeze! I started the day feeling stressed and finished it with a smile. Midwest (Patrick) was totally on top of the planned schedule and somehow didn’t make me feel scheduled. I’ve already recommended them to a friend who just got engaged. Thanks again, sincerely.
Not being very technically knowledgeable, it was super helpful to have a company that was able to make my idea come true just based on the scene I described from my head. I wanted the lighting to feel like home, but better. I wanted it to feel positive and loving and warm. The results were outstanding. The way the lights hit the backdrop was like a scene from a movie. They did a seriously awesome job interpreting my nonsense. Thumbs up!
I can’t say enough how spectacular our décor turned out. We had a pretty specific vision of how we wanted it to be and I chose MWES because they had such a large inventory. The absolute best part was that we were able to pay extra for a personalized sign that we got to keep afterward. MWES has an artist on their staff that made the most gorgeous floral themed calligraphy sign that I now have hanging in my kitchen. They also custom designed our table numbers, so they even have those in their inventory now. I just loved working with such a creative group of people to put the whole vision together. It was truly wonderful. Thank you so very much, MWES Weddings! You’re a dream come true!
I'm very glad I booked with this company. They were friendly, helpful, and made my life a whole lot less stressful leading up to my wedding. Thumbs Up!
I love doing everything online, so planning my decor and color scheme through pinterest and the knot with Brittany from MWES was perfect for me. They were even willing to communicate through text message with me any day of the week. I felt like I made friends after hiring MWES Weddings. My wedding was an absolute fantasy.
They literally can create anything you imagine. It was helpful that I came to them with Pinterest boards and photos. I think it got them to know our style a bit better. What they ended up creating for us through decor, music and lighting was beyond perfect and uniquely me and my husband!
I met with several companies while deciding what vendors to hire for our wedding. Honestly, they all seemed the same. Very professional, but very generic. But once I met with Patrick and Allie from MWES, I instantly knew they were the right fit. The best way I could describe them is professionalism with personality. It felt like just talking to some of my friends. They were there to help me and really get the job done right. It's important to me to feel comfortable with people that I am hiring and Ally and Patrick were the real deal. Their awesome sense of humor kept me from getting worried or stressed out. They know their business in and out and I could not recommend them any more highly.
A friend of mine recommended this company to me. I'm very glad they did. They really came through and made my reception a dream. Thanks for the beautiful memories MWES Weddings!
The most personable vendors I’ve ever worked with. My wedding guests had a wonderful time dancing and using the photobooth. Thanks!
It took me forever to choose a lighting vendor because I AM PARTICULAR. Once I get a vision, I have a hard time settling for anything else. MWES Weddings absolutely came through for me and even tuned the lights to my exact color specification. Aquamarine! I felt like the little mermaid in front of our gorgeous head table draping. It was like a dream and I never wanted to wake up!
I used Midwest weddings for my DJ, lighting, and head table backdrop. I thought it was the greatest thing that they do all of those things. It really save me a lot of time and money being able to go through the same company for all of these services. They were very knowledgeable on all subjects as well. They even recommended vendors for the services that they did not cover for me. I could really tell that they are very familiar with the whole wedding industry and I was able to pick their brains throughout my planning process and it made it so much easier on me. They are sincerely the most friendly and down to earth group of people that I've ever hired for anything. I hope I get a chance to work with them again. I am definitely recommending them to all of my engaged friends.
I actually hired this company because I saw them at my friends wedding. But the coolest thing was that when it came to my wedding, it didn't feel like the exact same wedding reception. It felt like it was mine. As we meet they worked with me to come up with the right design in decor for us. They had showed us some ideas based on the information we gave them, and we gave them some ideas from pinterest of what we liked. They took all that information and designed us the perfect look for our room. Great group of people. Would highly recommend them to anyone.
MWES worked with us to create the most amazing wedding reception. Besides for Aly, our dj, who seemed to know everything about music, Patrick was did a great job on our decor side. We went with them to provide lighted candelabras for our table center pieces. These fit in just right. They also provided us with a fabric backdrop for our head table. The colors they picked with us blended perfectly with our wedding colors. MWES really knows what they are doing, my husband and I could not have asked for more.
When we started planning our wedding we didn't think that decor was that important. Our reception venue was nice, but not exactly what we wanted, but we figured that is what we needed to go with. As we planned our wedding with MWES and saw some of what they could do we realized that decor was more important then we realized. I am glad we did realize that before our wedding because the room was amazing when we walked into it. MWES is great. Patrick and his guys really know what they are doing and how to make a wedding perfect.

When we found out our venue didn't have a dance floor to use for our reception we were worried. We started to talk to MWES who was our DJ and to our delight we found out they were able to provide us with a dance floor. They saved the day and was able to provide us with a great looking dance floor.
Absolutely love working with this company! They made it so easy for me to just be able to enjoy my wedding reception. The lighting and decor they did for us was top notch. We wanted our guest to feel like they were entering our fairy tale when they walked into our wedding. MWES designed the perfect lighted entrance for us. Between the draping and lighting it looked just like entering a fairy tale. They rounded out our fairy tail by making it possible to dance on a cloud for our first dance.
This company was fantastic. I really saved a lot of money by hiring this company. I found this company and inquired about pricing then found out that they also do decor and photo booth. I'm not going into specifics, but I'll say that my aunt was very jealous and wished she had hired them for her anniversary party because of all of the money she would have saved. I really enjoyed all of their insights, as well. I felt like They really had my back. Even though we saved a bunch of money being going with them for all the services they offered, I never felt like I was getting reduced product from them. Our friends who recently got married recommended the companies they used to us. I am glad we did not go straight with them since MWES was cheaper and I feel that their services were even better than the more expensive companies. I can not recommend this company more highly.
Most beautiful lighting ever!!! I had a vague idea in my head of what I wanted the hall to look like, but had no clue how to make it happen. MWES totally made dreams I didn’t even know I had come true. I highly recommend hiring them to do your lighting and decorations. My reception looked AMAZING!
Wow Wow Wow - That is all I can say when I walked into my room. The draping that they did for us got so many great comments from our guest as well as made our pictures turn out fantastic.
When I had originally toured my venue we ran into Patrick who was hanging ceiling draping and putting down a white dance floor for the wedding that was taking place that evening. I already loved my venue, but when I saw those items in it I know I needed to have them to complete the look of my wedding. It added such a touch of elegance . I am so happy that we got to work with MWES on our wedding. It couldn't have looked better!
The head table backdrop that they put together for us made all of our photos look amazing. I was worried that putting a backdrop behind the table was going to be too much, but it actually softened the wall behind us just like they said it would.
