My wedding would not have happened without Elevated Events. They literally brought the party. Expertly tailored lighting for our reception tent. Gorgeous back drop for our photo booth and props catered to our personalities. Beautiful decor for both our ceremony and reception. Not to mention a DJ that complemented our band and guests vibe!
They truly are professionals. They thought of things I never would have and answered most questions before I even had them. They are prompt in their responses. They also provided me with so many resources and tips on how to make our day, the best day - I owe my stress free, perfect day to them!

Zero complaints!! Elevated Events did an amazing job DJ’ing our wedding reception. Our DJ, David, was incredibly personable and fun while also being professional. The communication leading up to our wedding day was impressive and we loved working with this company - you can definitely tell they know what they’re doing! David did a perfect job with announcements, going with the vibe of the crowd, and keeping the dance floor going all night. We also had dance floor lighting provided by Elevated Events and loved it! Would recommend to anyone looking for a DJ service :)

We hired Elevated Events to DJ our wedding at the Morton Arboretum. The entire team was very organized, professional, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. Kourtney managed the entire process excellently and our DJ Marco kept everyone on the dance floor for 3 hours. He took the song ideas we provided and did an excellent job drawing from them, such that our guests said that it was just a non-stop rotation of bangers. The whole thing felt like an excellent value, and we were very pleased.

Elevated Events made our wedding incredible! I really struggled selecting a DJ as we were weary of some companies because of how my sisters wedding went (with a different DJ company). From the very beginning Kourtney made it the easiest decision to hire Elevated Events for our wedding! She answered my many questions quickly and was great to work with! The questionnaires prior to the event really helped. Marcus was our DJ on wedding night and he nailed it! From cocktail hour to all the way to the end of the night he was on top of things and listened to all of my (the bride) last minute song requests! Overall I am so glad we chose Elevated Events for our wedding and I have already highly recommended them to a few of my friends that are getting married in the near future!

We are so grateful we went with Elevated Events for our wedding, Marco was PHENOMENAL. The entire process was made much easier from the detailed questionnaires that we completed prior to our meeting with the DJ. My husband is Indian, so his parents/some of his groomsmen had some difficult to pronounce names, and Marco was great about making sure he was pronouncing them correctly! We went over it in our zoom call prior to the wedding, but on the day of he confirmed with the groomsmen themselves that he was saying it correctly before he announced them entering the reception. Marco was great at reading the crowd, and his assistant was definitely keeping the guests' energy up! So many of my guests commented on how great my DJ was, and some even expressed interest in hiring Marco and his assistant for their own personal events! Elevated Events truly helped make our wedding night unforgettable, thank you!!!

We cannot recommend Elevated Events enough! They were the best vendor to work with and provided so much for us. We loved that we were able to use this one vendor for multiple things. We used them for our DJ, photo booth, and wrapping the dance floor. Marco was our DJ and he was the best! He kept the dance floor packed the entire night and we got so many compliments on how great he was. His energy was exactly what we were hoping for for a DJ. The photo booth was beautiful and was exactly what we envisioned. Same thing with our dance floor. Kourtney worked with us right up until the wedding and helped to make sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. She was so responsive and made any changes we wanted right up until the wedding! Best vendor and cannot recommend them enough!

Kourtney was such an amazing help to my husband and I during our entire planning process! She made all of the decision making easy and was so quick to respond to all of our messages. We made so many changes and added so many pieces to our wedding up until the week before the wedding and she made it all happen exactly as we envisioned it!
Patrick was our DJ and was so helpful during the planning of the schedule for the evening and helped us move things along as scheduled. He really read our vibe and made sure the music was as close to perfect as possible throughout the entire night!
Overall, an amazing experience and while we won’t be planning another wedding any time soon… we will recommend to everyone we know!!

Working with Elevated Events was easy. We got several quotes, and Elevated Events was competitive. The event coordinator, Kourtney, was very organized and responsive. We filled 3 questionnaires after we figured out our reception program and speakers etc., and got matched to our DJ, Marcus, a few weeks before the wedding. We had a Zoom meeting to go over all the details. Kourtney provided recommendations for entry songs and prepared a day of summary document.
On the wedding day, Marcus was great. He was able to coordinate with the wedding party and speakers. The reception went well. The post-wedding surprise was definitely appreciated!

She was so attentive, flexible and absolutely the sweetest - she helped me from music choices to last minute decor necessities.

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!

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!

Our DJ Marco and Elevated Events provided the exact vibe and styles of music we were looking for. In the months leading up to the wedding there were numerous questionnaires and check-ins that helped us nail down the specific song selections and backdrop to moments throughout our wedding day that we found very helpful.
We were admittedly pretty picky about the genres that we wanted and even wanted the genres to change throughout the evening too. Marco took our preferences in stride and both played our songs that we considered “must-plays” as well as filled in the gaps with songs that fit the overall style of the others. We don’t come from families that like to dance very much but Marco got our people on the dance floor.
One more thing we wanted to mention is that there was a last minute change in our ceremony location due to weather and Marco was able to adapt to the change without any issues or delays. Great company and DJs!

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 great 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.

We are so thankful for the attention to detail and beautiful product. <3

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.

We worked with Kourtney through all of the planning process. She was organized and responsive, quick to answer any questions that we had. There 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!

Our wedding venue switched our day-of coordinator on us just 2 days before our wedding day. 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! :)

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 countries - 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!!

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!

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.

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.

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 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.

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).

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 partner and I were so happy with the final product.

Booked room and head table draping with Elevated Events. It was beautifully done. Aly took care of all of the coordinating and the team onsite the day of was friendly and professional. They made sure to stay until we arrived at the venue to make sure it was how we envisioned it. Kudos to this great team.

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 after 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!

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 are 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.
