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!

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
Very easy to work with, and they ask for all the details of the wedding up front so that there is no time wasted or miscommunication on the run-of-show. Marco was a great DJ and kept the dance floor on fire the whole night while also being a gr...
eat M.C. We had a multi-cultural wedding, and Marco did an incredible job mixing in Armenian, Indian and western music throughout the night. Guests were raving about how fun and exciting the music and dancing was – our dancefloor was never empty.
Elevated also provided our photo booth, which included backdrops and a wonderful album for guests to contribute to and sign which we will hold on to forever.
Response from the Vendor on 08/07/2023
Thank you for the kind words, Deanna. Marco mentioned how much fun he had as well. We wish you and Shaan the happiest marriage!
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 07/27/2023
Thank you, Trevor! I really enjoyed working with you and Hannah, throughout the entire process. Marco said you and your guests were the best!
Any questions?
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 w...
ere 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 e...
xcitement. 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 throug...

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 :)

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, uplight...
ing 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!
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, th...
ey 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 01/16/2023
Your vision for the drapery was a dream to bring to life! Thanks for trusting us with your wisteria wonderland!
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 mu...
st-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! :)
I can hardly put into words the appreciation I have for the entire Elevated Events team. The music, DJ, timing, and everything else was out of this world. So many of our friends have told us it was the most fun and gorgeous wedding they have at...
tended. Not to mention they made it so incredibly easy for me and the wife. Y'all are incredible!!!
Response from the Vendor on 12/05/2022
We are so happy to hear you and your friends had the best time! We definitely didn't want to stop the music at the end. The energy was incredible!
DJ Frank and Kourtney were the best! We used Elevated Events for our wedding and 10/10 would recommend.
We worked with Kourtney through all of the planning process. She was organized and responsive, quick to answer any questions that we had. T...
here were also planning forms we filled out during the months leading up to the event which were a huge help.
DJ Frank was accommodating to all of our dance floor requests, and kept the party going! We had a mixture of cultures and languages and he made sure everyone heard their favorite songs to dance to. He was also an amazing MC guiding guests where to look for speeches, first dances, and when the last dance was going to be played.
Our package also included dance floor lights and uplights to help set the mood. Would definitely recommend!
Response from the Vendor on 10/04/2022
Aww Alyssa! I miss you and your organization! Frank said he had the best time. We wish you and Tareq the happiest marriage :)
- Kourtney
Kourtney was great to work with and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the planning process and on the day of our wedding. Our DJ, Marco, was fantastic and the photo booth was also a big hit!
Response from the Vendor on 09/17/2022
Thank you so much, Brittany! You and Daniel were so easy going, that the process was fun! :)
Our DJ Frank & Patrick (manager) were THE BEST! Frank and Patrick were just extremely kind and genuine and so at ease which helped our wedding day jitters. Our wedding venue switched our day-of coordinator on us just 2 days before our wedding d...
ay. We’re grateful that our DJ Frank actually seemed to lead the way of the reception and did an awesome job at it. Not to mention they are great at what they do and we had literally EVERYONE out on the dance floor. Even our grandparents!!! We were so grateful to have found them. Communication/planning was easy and they took all of our music taste and preference into account and had the perfect songs. Highly recommend Elevated Events, you certainly would not regret it! :)
Response from the Vendor on 09/17/2022
Hi Megan! We miss you already. I can't wait to see the professional photos. You were smiling from ear to ear all day so I know there are going to be some beautiful shots!
We had an incredible time at our wedding - many thanks to our DJ, Marco! Our dancefloor was packed as soon as we finished our first dance all the up until midnight when our reception was over. We had an international crowd from 5 different coun...
tries - Marco did a fantastic job including our favourite Polish and French songs and did an amazing job keeping the dancing going with hit after hit! Throughout the months of planning, Kourtney was incredibly responsive and so helpful! The DJ planning forms really helped shape our wants and needs for the big day and we couldn't have done it without their help! Highly recommend to anyone! We also had adorable uplights set up around our venue that made the room look that much more inviting and exciting! Thank you so much for helping us make our wedding day so successful and memorable!!
Response from the Vendor on 08/10/2022
Thank you so much for the kind review, Carla! Marco had so much fun with you and Joel! So glad the international crew was finally able to reunite for your wedding!!
DJ Patrick packed our dance floor all night! He was absolutely incredible.
Response from the Vendor on 07/20/2022
I see Patrick slipped his stage name "DJ Pack That Floor" haha! I am glad he lived up to the name!
If you’re in the market for a vendor you can get multiple services from, consider Elevated Events. We booked them initially for their DJ service and later realized they could provide a stage for our head table, dance floor and cocktail tables. ...
We felt so lucky to find them!
Response from the Vendor on 07/20/2022
Your dance floor was beautiful! I am so glad you ended up choosing white vinyl. It could not have looked more elegant!
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 lig...
hting 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
Your idea to drape in between each window was so cool! We were happy to be a part of your big day!
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
Thank you!!!! We loved working with you and your HUSBAND, Joe.
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.
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!
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...

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 o...
ffer 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 un...
certainty 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 natura...
l 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 u...
sed! 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...

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 decisio...

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 rece...

Booking elevated events was one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning! We got married 5/29/21 and honestly ever since we got hitched, so many friends and family have reached out to say how our wedding was so much fun/ one of the...
best weddings they’ve been to! I know a large part of that was our DJ and photo booth. Our DJ, Hannah, did a great job playing what she knew was best based on song lists we went over and conversations we had about what I felt our guests would like/favorite songs/and her suggestions. Dance floor was packed all night! We also had our photo booth through elevated events and it was a hit! We have an epic book with all the copies from that night and it is absolutely priceless. Not only have people asked who our killer DJ was but we also get people asking who we booked for the photo booth as well! The most important thing to me in regards to our wedding was that all of our guests have a blast and I feel that everyone did! Highly recommend booking this company! You won’t be disappointed! Party on!
They were wonderful! They were easy to get ahold of, pay, and talk to. We loved being able to add our songs online and then they just called us to confirm a few things. Andrew did a great job of trying to get everyone on the dance floor and aft...
er the wedding everyone kept saying how nice he was. He was fun, upbeat, and considerate with his music choices. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ!
Response from the Vendor on 12/24/2019
AnnaMarie, thank you so much for your kind review! We were so happy to provide DJ service for your wedding. Congratulations to both of you again!
This company was perfect and the service was great! Our guests danced the night away, which is exactly what we wanted. Thanks, MWES!
MWES provides a quality service across the board. We booked the DJ and photobooth services and had so much fun. We liked that we got to choose our photobooth backdrop and got custom designed photo printouts. We didn’t do strips, we did 4x6 with...
our wedding logo and theme, which we used instead of favors. Their booth was open-air and modern. You can tell it was new and had used the latest technology.
Our experience with Midwest Weddings was outstanding. The staff cares about you as a person and not as a dollar sign, which feels significantly different than some of our other experiences with the wedding pros. We didn’t feel like we were sold...
on services we didn’t need and the add on services (upgraded photo booth, extra time) were worth it.
This is hands-down a great company. My husband has background in Djing and audio “tech stuff,” so he had a very high standard for our Dj. He was blown away by the level of equipment this company used. When we’ve been to other ceremonies that ar...
e on location (not in a place of worship), he has commented on the buzz from the microphones and the “consumer level” of the equipment (I sure hope I’m getting all of this stuff right!), none of which was the case with MWES. If you want to hire true professionals, then we suggest you choose MWES.
MWES Weddings has personable, caring staff, professional equipment and stellar service. Happy to have booked them and will recommend them in the future.
This company takes the guess work and worry out of planning and the timeline of events for the evening. We didn’t have to meet them in person and they were flexible to our needs and busy schedules. Appreciated their attention to detail day of t...
he wedding.
The best DJ company ever. Back Street Boys? Played it. Stupid group dances? Avoided them. Playing music that got both my grandma and my 20 year old sister on the dance floor? Did it. What a great party.
Every single person on earth thought I was crazy when I wanted to subtly include skulls and Halloween things for our October wedding. I didn’t want it to feel tacky or like a Halloween party, but I love Halloween and dark things and wanted that...
incorporated into by decorations and reception. For me, it would have felt fake to have a typical blush “white wedding.” Aly and Patrick helped us select details that were still very upscale and fancy, but caught the vibe of our halloween love. It only made sense because my husband and I met at a Halloween party. It was so amazing to see exactly what I wanted come to life without having to worry over every detail myself. It was completely worth it to hire a company and let them do the work. You guys ROCK.
It was really important to me that my reception feel individual and different from all of the other weddings we have been going to recently. Although we all like some of the same songs and some of those were played, it was great to have more mu...
sic where people were like “of course YOU played this at your wedding.” I liked that they knew we had a hand in planning every detail of our wedding.
Go for the platinum photo booth package! It seemed crazy, but we were a little worried because we had a smaller wedding and not everyone is into dancing. The cool photo booth gave people a reason to stay and made the reception feel interactive....
We really liked that different groups of people were getting together for photos. It helped our families get to know each other and have fun in a low pressure way which was great since it was the first time many of them met. Thanks to Smooch, Andrew and Aly for making our wedding cool and special.
My husband and I definitely got more than we bargained for when we chose MWES Weddings as our wedding DJ and decor provider. Being in our 20’s, we’ve been to a lot of weddings and they’re all very similar. The dj has the same lights that sit on...
the table and spin or sometimes are on a pole. They’re fun and make it feel like a party, but a little cheesy. We were really excited that all of the equipment from MWES was sleek and polished. The lights were on a stand with a spandex cover, so we didn’t have cords and equipment in our photos. Andrew was so polite and hard working. We’re friends with the coordinator at our venue and she asked for MWES contact info because it was such a positive experience all around.
Thanks to Aly, Patrick, Andrew and Smooch for the best night ever!! Book these people. You’ll thank me later.
Cool people, great service and terrific value. Got more than we bargained for. Recommending to friends and family.
We thought about just doing a Spotify playlist for our wedding and boy, that would have been a mistake. MWES dj service isn’t the cheapest dj out there, but with good reason. Our dj/mc Aly, was great at making sure everything went smoothly and ...
that we were happy throughout the night. She made sure to grab me when a few of my favorite songs were going to play, so I didn’t miss them. We had some crazy spur of the moment requests that she fulfilled so fast and it really made it all feel special and unique. Pretty sure my sister is booking this company for her wedding in 2020.
I really thought this company would be too good to be true. I didn’t think you could find a vendor with multiple services where each service was treated as an individual one with a high priority. We booked photo booth, dj and decor, and each se...
rvice had its own dedicated staff. Our photo booth attendant might have been the best part! I think his name was Smooch and he was really fun and great at interacting with our guests! Drew did a great job with keeping everyone dancing and the decor went up without a hitch. We got so many compliments on everything.
The best part about this company is that they’re honest. They will tell you exactly what is worth spending your money on and where you can make some different choices to save a buck or two. They don’t take your requests at face value and then g...
ive you a price. Patrick really worked with us to understand our overall vision for the space, helped us to decide our must-haves and priorities and then made some other suggestions here and there when he felt something would really make a positive difference. I appreciated that we weren’t just another job to them, but that they really cared about making this a perfect day for me and my husband.
The decor this company provides is hands-down amazing. Patrick worked hard to come up with our decor plan with some very vague input from us. All we knew was that we wanted a striking, beautiful and memorable room. We had a certain budget in mi...
nd and got very close to meeting it. Patrick gave us some options under our budget and at our budget. The things we ended up adding put us over our initial budget, but they were the small things that made a big difference. Thanks, Patrick and MWES.
Online planning was a must for me. I knew what I wanted for my playlist. I liked that I could review my choices and update things on my end, knowing that we all had the same information. Serious props to our DJ, Andrew, because we had some tric...
ky names and a huge wedding party, so our introductions were a lot of work. All of our guests danced throughout the night and we were begging for more. I know you’ll feel the same.
We booked this company through The Knot and did everything digitally. Their online planning software is great and I liked that I could add songs at my leisure. Their payment options are flexible and they’re accommodating. No hassle. Great servi...
ce. Wonderful party.
The best DJs around!
We’ve been to 2 other weddings MWES deejayed, before having them do our own, so we have experienced their service from multiple perspectives. As guests, we experienced the DJ’s ability to read a crowd and keep everyone dan...
cing. Somehow they managed to play everyone’s favorite song and even some throwbacks we didn’t know we wanted to hear. As the bride and groom, we experienced their great customer service and their desire to go above-and-beyond for us on our wedding day. Andrew, our DJ, made sure to work with the venue so that we stayed on our timeline and made sure our photographer and video person were always ready and in place. He even went to find my mom to make sure she was in the room for mine and my husband’s first dance. I appreciated that this went on behind-the-scenes and that we weren’t bothered with every single change throughout the night. All we had to focus on was having a good time!
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 p...
hoto 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 worked with Aly up until our wedding then found out Drew would be our DJ right before. I was disappointed because Aly really understood what we wanted. I had a pretty extensive playlist for the DJ to choose from and told them specifically th...
at I did not want anything corny. However, the Macarena and several line dances got played in place of some of the songs I chose. During those songs the floor was not filled and Drew did not get the hint. If you choose this vendor be very specific about what you don’t want played.
Response from the Vendor on 12/19/2018
Thank you for reviewing our services. We appreciate you taking your time to give us feedback so that we can continue to improve and grow as a company. We've sent you an email so we can discuss things further and to see if there is a better reso...
lution we can achieve together.
The service you will receive from this company is second to none. If you’re looking for a company to go above and beyond your expectations, then you have found them. Thanks, MWES Weddings for making our wedding memorable and as stress free as p...
ossible.
I feel like we had a fairly tedious selection process when picking a DJ and emcee for our wedding. MWES graciously answered our numerous questions, explained their process and were patient while we made our decision. They were very upfront abou...
t costs, when and if there would be additional fees and were willing to work out a payment plan for us. We ended up adding on the photo booth and it was crazy fun. Our guests loved the scrapbook and we had so much fun looking at it after the wedding. The person running the photo booth did a great job to make all of our guests included and having fun.
If you want a party like no other, feet tired from dancing to EVERYTHING and a reception everyone is still talking about, then book MWES Weddings. Thats all I can say.
This company brings the party and leaves no guest behind on the dance floor!
DJ service was exactly what was expected and our dj Andrew was fun yet professional.
After a tireless search for dj’s, we were recommended to MWES by a friend of a friend. Every dj we had interviewed previously just had the wrong vibe for our metal-loving, young crowd and we didn’t know how to find what we were truly looking fo...
r: a dj with personality, who wasn’t over-the-top, who knew the perfect mix of songs that would appeal to everyone, but also how to incorporate a fairly non-typical mix of songs we wanted to hear. Well, I’m here to tell you that this company was exactly what we were looking for. They took care of everything and Aly played everything we wanted to hear.
Our decor was beautiful and even better than we pictured. We ended up adding some additional elements per Aly’s suggestion (they had worked in our venue before) and they were perfect. Didn’t feel like we were “upsold” or had things we didn’t ne...
ed. Her suggestions made things elegant and feel like the room was really “ours.” I would give this company 6 stars if I could :)
Such a pleasure to have Andrew as our DJ/MC for our wedding. He knew all of the right songs to play for each moment. Our guests had so much fun dancing to those typical wedding must-plays mixed with some of their favorite throwbacks. It was lik...
e he knew us personally even though we had only spoke on the phone and met in person a couple of times. He helped us to create some wonderful memories of our wedding reception.
My now husband and I were not sure what to expect from a company that offered multiple services because our friends told us we should book individual companies for each service. We had dedicated employees to each service we booked, so that ever...
ything was setup beautifully and in a timely manner. There wasn’t any “cutting corners” just because we booked with one company. They truly treated each service individually but gave us such a great price for booking everything through their company. A huge shoutout to Patrick and the team for the best wedding ever!!!!!!
I initially booked MWES just for their DJ service, but ended up adding on some decor elements a few months later. Their pricing was competitive and I liked the idea of just working with a few vendors because it was less to coordinate. We had fa...
mily helping setup some centerpieces and small things at the reception and they all remarked how efficient, friendly and professional the mwes team was. This company works tirelessly to bring your ideas to life.
Friendly people, knowledgeable staff and the right gear to make your wedding go smoothly and according to plan. Very happy we selected MWES Weddings as our DJ and Photo Booth vendor.
Wow! is all we can say. We are so happy to have booked this company. We were contemplating having a friend to our introductions and then just having an iPod for music during the evening for dinner and dancing, but we decided to look at dj servi...
ces as an alternative. After meeting with Aly, we decided it would make us feel better to know someone was taking care of everything for us. We could not have made a better decision. MWES took care of everything for us, including sending song suggestions for important events like introductions, cake cutting, parent dances and even fun songs to play at different parts of the dancing part of the evening to keep everyone involved. They also worked directly with our venue to make sure we had exactly the right equipment for our room and to understand any rules or specific requests the venue had. During the evening, our dj would check in with us to make sure speeches were paced okay and that we were feeling relaxed. It was great to know we didn’t have to think about what needed to happen because the MWES team was all over it. If you’re looking for peace of mind and a great service, book this company.
We had the best reception EVER with the help of Patrick, Smooch and Andrew. Smooch did a great job with our ceremony music and it was great to have the clip on microphones. We were at a ceremony recently where you couldn’t hear anything the off...
iciant was saying, so we were happy to have the microphones as part of the package. While the ceremony was going on, Patrick and Andrew were busy with our room draping and italian string lighting. It really converted our tent to something special. The reception went swimmingly and everyone was constantly running around to talk to us and the venue so that everyone was on the same page. It made it so easy for me and my husband to relax and enjoy the day knowing we were taken care of the whole time.
Andrew was such a fun dj! He made sure we were well taken care of each step of the way and that all of our favorite tunes were played throughout the night. He did a good job with our challenging list of bridal party names. We also appreciated t...
he suggestions he gave us for how to make things less awkward for our divorced parents and step parents when it came to announcements and our parent dances. It helped to ease some of the stress we were feeling about certain parts of the reception.
We got married at Morgan Manufacturing and MWES did uplighting, table linens and crystal chandeliers for us. It added some softness to the industrial space and was beautiful. It made things feel more intimate and warm. They were simple services...
that made a huge difference. I’d definitely recommend the uplights for everyone. They are a small touch with a big impact.
Smooch was a great Dj. He was fun and impressed all of us with his musical knowledge as our guests tested him with some of their requests! The night was the best party and everyone is still talking about it.
Perfect evening and everything we expected.
My husband and I couldn’t have been happier with MWES Weddings and our dj Brittany. She was fun knew exactly what we wanted to hear. Her song suggestions for the special parts of our evening (cake cutting, introductions, etc) were very unique a...
nd totally us. The photo booth was great too! We got a discount for booking photo booth along with our DJ service and both were truly top notch. We had a photo booth attendant who made the photo booth experience fun and engaging, Overall this was a definite 5 star service.
We booked this company when our previous dj backed out on us a few weeks before the wedding. The MWES team was great with making sure we felt well taken care of and that everything was organized for us after the stressful experience of losing a...
vendor last minute. We really liked their online planning site which made things way easier to plan and keep things organized. It was a great way to know that we’d hear everything we wanted to hear. Sure wish we had booked this company right from the very beginning of our planning.
Patrick is great. He was so helpful in keeping the flow of the evening and working with our venue to make sure everything went smoothly. He did things that went far and beyond what we thought a dj should do. He did the best job during the danci...
ng part of the night. Everyone heard their favorite songs and everyone danced so much :)
MWES made our wedding just a dream come true. Their decor services blew away our expectations. We did some room draping, a ceiling canopy, uplighting and crystal chandeliers. Everything truly transformed our bland reception space into something...
truly exquisite.
Our DJ, Aly, was fantastic! She played the best mix of oldies, current songs and our favorites. It was so cool to see our older relatives out on the dance floor for so long. Everyone had a blast and were exhausted from dancing. We booked the Go...
ld package and the lights were so fun and really made it a party. Great company and great people.
So glad we booked MWES for our wedding. It was perfect and our guests had a great time. We definitely recommend this company.
super fun people to talk to. so glad we went with this company. you should too!
We talked to a few different vendors before choosing and one of the reasons we went with MWES Weddings was the package discounts. You don't find many companies that cover all of the bases. MWES really does that. I can't even explain what a reli...
ef it was to find out we could stop looking for photobooth and decor companies when we'd only been on the hunt for a DJ so far! My husband (I'm still excited to call him that!) and I had a wonderful time talking with our contacts and coming up with ideas to bring everything together. If you're looking to save on money, time and most importantly, STRESS...I highly recommend hiring MWES Weddings for all of your wedding needs. They're all very kind and generous people and I've already been recommending them to my friends and coworkers. For a once in a lifetime wedding, definitely choose MWES Weddings!
I got the DJ services for my wedding. They had every song I wanted and came up with more that were perfect. Brittney MCed and she was so nice and helpful! mwes made my day so special!!!
We had such a blast working with you on our playlist. Y'all made our night so memorable. Our families are still talking about it. Thanks again for a great time!
Very Personable, friendly employees. Would highly recommend!
We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful wedding! I knew it would be a daunting task to turn my venue into the fairy tale setting that I pictured and MWES Weddings exceeded my expectations. Thanks again, MWES crew for making our day special...

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 t...
he 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 fu...
