We knew we wanted Nick (Mad Mardigan) to be our wedding DJ after being guests at another wedding that he was at. We were so excited that he was available for our wedding date! It seriously was the best night of our LIVES!!! So many people came up to us saying that was the most fun wedding reception they’ve ever been to… which was our goal and why we wanted you to be our guy for the night!!! The dance floor was bumping all night and so fun!! Thank you so much Nick… we had so much fun!!! Best night ever!!!

We went with Gen Now DJs because they have such a strong presence and reputation in the twin cities for any and all events and we were not disappointed! We were told by so many couples how important the DJ was to set the tone of the night and keep the party going - which is 100% true - and we knew with the Gen Now team we would not have to stress about this. They are truly pros! Tim is super easy to reach and quick to respond and set us up with DJ Munya! DJ Munya was awesome and has the BEST energy. We knew right away after meeting him that we didn’t need to worry about him getting the party started or keeping it going. DJ Munya is charismatic and has an awesome voice for announcing. His dinner music playlist was a great mix and the dance music was a great combination of classic and new hits to keep everyone in the crowd dancing. He also did a great job announcing our wedding party and guiding the order of events and getting the attention of our guests. Munya also recommended doing a photo dash and taking pictures with every guest table rapidly after the grand march and right before dinner and this is one of our favorite things that we did! It was so fun, totally set the tone for the night, and we are so thrilled we got a picture with every single one of our guests! Thank you DJ Munya and Gen Now DJs!

DJ Nick (Nimo) was amazing. He played exactly what I had envisioned for cocktail hour/dinner, played songs that fit the crowd on the dance floor and pivoted quickly when needed. Everything went perfect with sound!! The process also leading up to the big day couldn't have gone any smoother and the communication between us and Tim and Nick was top notch.

Ellen, thank you for letting us provide the prefect soundtrack to you wedding day!

DJ Mad Mardigan recently DJ'd our wedding, and I couldn't have been more thrilled with the decision. Aside from his amazing talent, he was also extremely professional beginning with the planning process, through to the last song of the night. He set up multiple meetings to make sure that my husband and I got exactly what we wanted and he provided all of the equipment, making set-up seamless.
The absolute best part about the whole thing was Nick's ability to read the crowd and keep the energy all night long. Transitions between songs were flawless, and the dance floor was packed from start to finish. We didn't have a single lull- just a constant flow of a mix of old and new music that kept all of my guests excited.
After the wedding, both my husband and I received several texts from friends and family members saying how impressed they were with the music (a few sore from dancing LOL). Thanks to DJ Mad Mardigan- it was an unforgettable party. If you're looking for a DJ who can elevate your wedding or event and keep the crowd interested, look no further!

Dustin “Dudley D” absolutely CRUSHED it at our wedding. One of our biggest priorities for our day was finding an unforgettable DJ, and when I tell you he was all that and more…he really was! He’s not a “wedding DJ”, he is a true DJ who also does weddings. He’s unbelievable and he had our guests dancing until the last minute of the night. We’ve already had quite a few friends and family ask for his name for future events. BOOK WITH HIM, you will NOT regret it!!! Thank you, Dustin!!!

Jenny, Thank you! Dudley D can't be put in a box! Congratulations!

Choosing GenerationNow DJs was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! We knew we wanted to have a great reception and throw the party of a lifetime and with GenNOW and DJ Mad Mardigan we got exactly that! Communication during the entire process with both Tim and Nick was smooth and prompt. Nick, "DJ Mad Mardigan" fully brought our vision to life and we have been hearing from friends and family daily since the wedding that it was the best DJ they have ever seen at a wedding! Nick worked with us on how we wanted music structured throughout the day, put all our favorites in the dance just at the right time, and kept the dance floor full ALL evening long! We are huge Timberwolves fans and we truly felt like we had our own personal wolves game at our wedding! If we had to do our wedding over again we would 100% choose GenNow and Nick again!

As a local wedding planner, I always recommend GenerationNOW to my clients. Last week, I had the opportunity to work with them on the Minnesota Bride Best of 2024 event. Leading up to the event, Tim was fantastic to work with—professional, sincere, and dedicated to ensuring the event's success.
During the event, we worked with several of their team members. DJ Cav created the perfect indoor ambiance with background music. His DJ setup was not only impressive but also sleek and modern. Outdoors in the courtyard, Daniel, known as "the violinist," delighted everyone with his live music and engaging presence. He not only performed but also interacted with guests, showcasing his skills. During the awards show, DJ Kasper handled the music and MC duties flawlessly, ensuring this part of the event ran smoothly.
A big shout out to the entire GenerationNOW team—working with you all was an amazing experience! Let's do it again soon!

I am a wedding planner in Minnesota and we just wrapped up another incredible wedding with Gen Now! My couple chose 'DJ Dudley D' for their wedding and he delivered an amazing party! My couple chose to use Gen Now for all of our music/sound needs from the ceremony, social hour and reception. He was detailed and helpful leading up to the wedding and was great about being flexible with us on the timeline as we were adjusting the schedule to account for weather on the wedding day. I always recommend Generation Now to my clients and DJ Dudley D is a great example as to why! They are the best!

We can say numerous great things about GenerationNOW Entertainment and DJ Mickey - what a duo!
To start the communication with Tim of GenerationNOW and DJ Mickey was exceptional. They were professional and highly responsive from the initial planning stages to the actual event.
On the day of the event, there was an error regarding the date and time of the event, made on our behalf (NOT made by GenerationNOW). We quickly emailed Tim of GenerationNOW Entertainment, and his response to the matter and confidence in providing a solution was in a matter of minutes! We were relieved and beyond grateful for their willingness to accommodate the special request and make an on-the-spot adjustment.
What truly sets GenerationNOW Entertainment apart from any other entertainment company is its flexibility and commitment to excellence.
DJ Mickey demonstrated an impeccable sense of timing, seamlessly blending upbeat tracks during the high-energy moments and more relaxed, melodic tunes during the quieter, contemplative parts of the event. This dynamic range kept our Members engaged and entertained throughout the evening.
The highlight of the evening was when DJ Mickey seamlessly mixed in some golf-themed tracks and sound bites, adding a playful and personalized touch to the event. Talk about custom and creative flair!
All this to be said, DJ Mickey's performance was nothing short of spectacular. He managed to create a vibrant, engaging, and memorable atmosphere that elevated the entire evening for our Members.
His talent, professionalism, and outstanding communication were evident in every beat, making them an essential part of the event's success. I would highly recommend GenerationNOW Entertainment, especially DJ Mickey, for any event looking to blend sophistication with a lively, engaging vibe. Absolutely top-notch!
We can't wait to plan another event with GenerationNOW Entertainment and DJ Mickey!
response 10/14/2024
Mickey always goes above and beyond. Thank you for this amazing review.

Generation Now did a great job providing DJ services for our September 2023 wedding. Everything in the process was handled professionally and smoothly - from invoicing, to planning to execution. Ben (DJ Cav) was super fun, and did a great job integrating our music style and making sure he played everything on our must play list. I would recommend Generation Now.
response 10/14/2024
Thank you! DJ Cav is easily becoming one of our most requested DJs.

We knew from the start of our planning stages we were going to book with GNE from being at a previous wedding they DJ’ed.
Tim was great to work with explained everything to us. He wasn’t pushy and honestly cares about making your day special. We had meetings along the way and Tim always replied to our questions quickly and professionally. Our DJ a few weeks before our wedding had a family emergency and wasn’t going to be able to do our wedding but without missing a beat Tim and crew handled it without making it stressful for us. They ended up upgrading our DJ for us at no extra cost to us! It was so nice of them. The DJ we had was Charlie and he was excellent! Took time to meet us and talk about our expectations and music genres we liked. His music selection was spot on and the way he kept the music and lighting alive it kept the dance floor full. We had many people compliment how much fun our dance was and how they enjoyed the DJ. Don’t waste your time shopping around else where. These guys are the pros and truly love what they do. Thank you guys for making the day special!

I can not express how amazing our wedding was because of GenNow. They were so professional from the beginning. Tim walked us through the options, met with us in person before the wedding, and the whole crew gave us the epic dance party we were hoping for. We used DJ Mad Mardigan for our DJ and we also used Daniel, a violinist through GenNow, for our ceremony music and it was absolutely beautiful. Daniel is extremely talented and he brought my exact vision of my ceremony to life.
DJ Mad Mardigan is truly the best there is. Multiple guests raved about his skills and how the dance floor was packed the entire night! I highly recommend GenNow! Not only for weddings, but any event that you may need to provide music. Our wedding was so memorable because of them!

Generation NOW was AWESOME! Everyone at our wedding kept telling us how great the DJ was and asking who they were. Even our photographer wanted their info so she could recommend them to others who are getting married. We had DJ Mad Mardigan (Nick) and he treated us like family, yet stayed professional. He made sure that everything we wanted for the reception got done the way we wanted, and that everyone had a great time dancing and celebrating. Their equipment was high quality, and they were great as getting people on the dance floor and keeping them there. There wasn't a minute of our wedding reception that wasn't fun and it's mostly thanks to Generation NOW and DJ Mad Mardigan!!! We highly recommend them for any event and they were worth every penny. Thank you so much for making our night one to remember and for making us feel so special.

We had our wedding reception on 10/15/22 at the Beach Club and Dustin (DJ Dudley D) absolutely killed it! Everyone was dancing ALL NIGHT. Music was our #1 priority… and GenerationNOW was the best choice we could've made. Dustin set the vibe for the night — the song choices and the lights had people dancing the night away. He hyped the crowd (he has the perfect announcer/emcee voice), and made sure I (the bride) was happy all night.
We were also particular about what we wanted and what we didn’t want — and DJ Dudley honored all of our requests :) We also requested he play only 4-5 Persian songs (my side is Persian), and he incorporated the music seamlessly into the night! Our wedding reception was an absolute blast, and I attribute it to an amazing DJ!! <3 Thank you GenNOW and DJ Dudley D for making it the best reception possible.

My wedding planner said I had to hire Nick (DJ Mad Mardigan), and she didn't give me any other suggestions - she didn't have to! Nick was absolutely incredible - I don't think anyone left the dance floor all night. Multiple friends, including music snobs, told us he was the best wedding DJ they'd ever heard. We gave him a few "must plays", but he handled the rest. Everything was organized beforehand with Gen NOW, so I didn't have to worry about a thing the day of. Nick also loved our guests - his energy was infectious, and the fact that he was having a great time made everyone else have a great time.

He was so easy to work with and professional and fun at the same time. Highly recommend!

Worked with DJ Matt from GenerationNOW for our social hour and reception. Such a great experience! He kept the vibe nice and chill through social hour and dinner, then kicked things into high gear for dancing. Matt put together a custom mash-up song for a family dance (an updated version of the father/daughter dance) and even helped us incorporate "Hamilton" into the grand entrance. I couldn't recommend this company more highly!

DJ Low with GenerationNOW was PERFECT!!!!! He was so accommodating and sweet to us throughout the entire process. He never made us feel rushed, or pressured to do things a certain way. He supported our music taste and had great song recommendations in every genre. During dinner, we threw a last minute curveball at him to DJ a game we played with all the tables, and he executed it perfectly on the fly. His emceeing was perfect and got the crowd hyped! Just the perfect amount of talking on the mic and only when necessary and when additive. I still have "GIVE IT UP FOR YOUR BRIDES!" stuck in my head in DJ Low's voice, and I love it because he provided the best party we could've ever asked for. GenNow was worth the extra money because they deliver on their promise of a dang good party. My people were JAMMING!!!!!!!

The booth and lighting was awesome and DJ Dudley D had the entire dancefloor rocking from beginning to end. He mixed in all of our favorite songs and the transitions were masterfully timed. Having a great DJ is such an important part of the big day and I can say with confidence this team is the best in the business. HIGHLY recommend to anyone who loves good music and dancing!

After getting quotes from other wedding specific DJ services we opted to go with GenerationNOW. This gave us peace of mind that our DJ would be experienced and help run things smoothly. Being that GenerationNOW DJ's do more than just wedding DJ'ing, we thought it was worth the extra $$. If you're on the fence about whether or not the cost compared to other services is worth it, forget about it and book with GenerationNOW. We were paired with Matt and it was a great fit. We provided a Spotify playlist to give him an idea of the genres of music we liked. Matt did a phenomenal job playing songs we and our guests requested, as well as filling in the gaps and helping with our ceremony. Matt was super flexible and went with the flow. As always there were a few hiccups but Matt was more than accommodating. It was great to have him help with our ceremony, make announcements, and overall make sure our guests had great time. We have a friend that used to wedding DJ, and he was blown away by the setup and skill of Matt. Cannot recommend enough.

DJ Kasper is THE BEST. We got married in October and we only have good things to say! He cared about the music and genuinely cared about us as a couple (we got happy hour and discussed the wedding vision, timeline and music). Anthony had perfect timing, and brought the party and vibe we were looking for the whole day. He engaged with our family (thanks for giving my dad the mic last minute :) ) and friends.

We couldn't have had a better experience than we did with GenerationNOW. Tim was extremely helpful in explaining our options for DJ's & equipment. Although our venue was a little larger, Tim knew the venue and noted the basic sound package would be more than enough. Goes to show what kind of company GenerationNOW is that they didn't try to upsell something that wasn't necessary, which is truly appreciated. We had Nick (DJ Mad Mardigan) as our DJ and he was incredible. From the introductory zoom call through the end of the party, Nick was fantastic. He pays attention to the clientele and knows how to get people on the dance floor (and keep them there). We had various friends throughout the night say DJ Mad Mardigan was the best DJ of all the weddings they've been to. 10/10 would recommend both GenerationNOW overall and DJ Mad Mardigan, specifically!

Everything was very professional and top notch from beginning to end. Our guests even made mention that it was the best wedding DJ experience they’ve had. 10/10!!!

Shawn is grinning from ear to ear. When you pair a talent like Shawn and your guests it's...
a complete party. All the best to you and Dylan :)

From our first phone call with Tim, we knew that GenNOW was the right choice for our wedding! He really listened to what we were looking for and made suggestions that fit our needs. DJ Velvet was a perfect match for us and he had our guests dancing all night long! We got so many compliments about how much fun everyone was having and how awesome the DJ was! It made us feel great about our decision and we felt lucky to have our wedding be DJ Velvet's last gig! Highly recommend GenNOW for your next event!

If you’re looking for the best DJ experience in the cities, this company is the way to go! We worked closely with Tim after postponing and rescheduling the wedding, and he was with us every step of the way with his response time and attention to detail.
Now for our insanely talented DJ, Shawn: we had a unique wedding that blended Bollywood songs, recorded tracks for a Sangeet show, and of course the latest hits for the reception. I knew I could trust Shawn to do all of this, and he surpassed my expectations. Shawn, and generationNOW, THANK YOU for making this the best experience and I’m so happy to have chosen you as my DJ!!!

We used Generation NOW entertainment for our wedding and they were great to work with! When we had to reschedule our wedding due to COVID19, Generation NOW worked with us to ensure the transition went smoothly. At our wedding, our DJ Charlie, was amazing. accommodating multiple unique requests. He was friendly, reliable, and fun. I highly recommend this company!

HANDS DOWN...best DJ I have ever heard play. Nick, our DJ, really paid attention to our guests and seamlessly moved from one song to another to keep the party going/if he noticed a particular song wasn't jiving with the crowd. They were responsive, timely, professional, and FUN! I would hire them again and again.

We used GenerationNow for our wedding and had DJ Mad Mardigan for our ceremony and reception. We could not be happier!! DJ Mad Mardigan DJ-ed an EPIC dance party all night long. Our guests were so happy and impressed with him (as are we). He was awesome at reading the room and knowing what kind of music would keep the party going and when to slow it down. We also had the music video upgrade which was another huge hit. Overall, we are extremely happy we chose GenerationNow and would 10/10 recommend for any wedding!

My husband and were so great full we found GenerationNOW!! We worked with Nick and Fanaka. They were an absolute blast the whole evening! We felt the played a good mix of older songs our parents,their friends, and older family would enjoy. And also incorporated some of today’s popular hits our age group enjoyed dancing to! They were very easy to work with and kept our guests entertained. They had a very detailed questionnaire to follow which made planning a breeze! We had great feed back from our guests on how much fun they had the whole evening! Highly recommend!

My husband and I were fortunate enough to work with GenerationNOW for our wedding day - and we could not be happier that we did! We worked directly with Tim when discussing packages, timelines, etc. Tim was so helpful and attentive to all of our questions and explained their process very thoroughly. At this point, we knew we were in good hands with GenNOW and they would do whatever possible to make our wedding day amazing. Shawn (DJ ShawnWho) was our DJ, and he was absolutely phenomenal. We met with him prior to our wedding over coffee and he walked through all of the details of our day and we also discussed what kind of music we wanted played. We made a Spotify playlist for Shawn to get a feel for what we were into, but definitely not necessary as Shawn is incredibly talented and knew exactly what to play to keep the dance floor busy all night. Not only was Shawn easy to work with, professional, and made our day so fun and stress-free, he knew how to keep our guests (and us!) dancing and having fun all night! Especially when Covid hit, it was so important to have a supportive and flexible vendor on your side. The entire GenNOW team was this and so much more, and we recommend them to anyone looking for a fun and industry-leading DJ team!

Shawn was my DJ and he did a FANTASTIC job! He met with me before my wedding at the venue to go over everything and map everything out. He studied the list of songs that I wanted and catered to all of my guests wants/requests. Shawn was also super professional and friendly to my guests, I got many compliments about him. He stuck to the timeline and gave me recommendations of songs for different parts of the night that worked perfectly. I would highly recommend Shawn as your dj for your wedding or any event you need a dj for!

We worked with Nick Dircz and he was incredible! He worked with us in putting together what we wanted with a lot of detail and executed it perfectly. The end result was magical! He created the atmosphere we hoped for through the music we chose. His guidance and professionalism was a perfect match. We had a dance party the entire evening from the start to finish and received so many compliments of how fun our wedding was! Hands down the best DJ in the metro area!!

We worked with Ryan Kulka and he was awesome! He took the time to get to know our style and expectations, and the timeline of the evening to make sure every little detail was covered and discussed. He made clear announcements throughout the night to help inform guests and direct the flow of the reception. He even helped make a little custom mix for my father-daughter dance. Very professional without the cheese factor -- would recommend for sure.

Dancing with my (now) husband is one of our absolute favorite things, so choosing music for our wedding was one of our top priorities while wedding planning. When I was introduced to the GenerationNow Team, they were as excited about our upcoming nuptials as I was (I will say, was hard to TOP!) and offered to be a consultant for overall music options (i.e., DJ vs. band), which I really appreciated. Over multiple emails, meetings and conversations, we chose GenerationNow because their experience, professionalism and overall matched enthusiasm about throwing the party of our lives. DJ Mad Mardigan provided music for our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and reception. It was an emotional, seamless, fun, incredible, BUMPIN' soundtrack to the night of our lives. We were on the dance floor enjoying ourselves, our family, our friends, and the fact that we were finally MARRIED the whole night. GenNow...we cannot thank you enough for treating our wedding day as if it were your own <3

DJ Mad Mardigan with Generations NOW absolutely killed it at our wedding! We heard him DJ at a family wedding a few years ago and had to have him. He was great to work with leading up to the wedding day as it was his first time performing at our venue and was very professional. The party went on all night long and we had him stay an extra half an hour as our guests were having a great time on the dance floor. I 10/10 recommend!
