GenerationNOW Entertainment, LLC

A client of ours used them for their daughter's Bat Mitzvah and they crushed it! Super interactive with the younger crowd creating games and engaging with them.

DJ Nova truly helped us create a night to remember! He had everyone out on the dance floor and the transitions between songs were amazing! He listened to what we wanted and did not disappoint!

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! xo, Melody (Events by Melody)

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!

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.

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!

After researching a few different DJs in our area and getting quotes, we are so happy we went with GenerationNOW for our wedding! DJ Matt did a phenomenal job keeping the party going all night between our pre-requested music and guests requests. From the ceremony to the party on the dance floor - highly recommend them for your next event!

NEW “Oh, what a night!” Matt was the best!! He kept everyone dancing and made sure we all had a great time at our daughter’s wedding reception! Such a fun night!!!! We highly recommend these guys. They took care of everything, had great communication, easy to work with, true professionals! Thanks, Tim Miller & Matthew Kallas!

We hired GenerationNOW and DJ Greenery for our wedding. This is an extremely professional and punctual business, and we were offered great options for our time and budget. DJ Greenery is real talent. We've received many compliments on the music at our wedding since our big day. So. Much. Dancing!

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!

Matt did a PHENOMENAL job!!! He was so easy to work with, listened to our ideas and helped guide us to figuring out what we wanted overall. The dance floor never stopped, everyone had a an absolute blast. Can't recommend his service enough!!!

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 the BEST experience with DJ Mad Mardigan (Nick) and GenerationNOW Entertainment! They kept the dance floor packed all night long and played all of our favorite songs. They were also great at reading the crowd and making sure the music was just right. We received so many compliments from our guests about how much fun they had at our reception. Our DJ was professional, organized, and truly made our reception unforgettable. We highly recommend them! - Ben and Melanie Dzurik

Matt absolutely killed it during our wedding at the beginning of January! On time, professional and extremely accommodating during consistently changing plans. Multiple compliments from guests as well. We 100% would recommend GenerationNOW and Matt for any of your DJ needs.

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.

We worked with DJ Matt and it was amazing! He was so laid back and listened to every single one of our wishes. We were picky and knew we wanted to invest in our DJ. We gave him a list of songs that were our must haves, a list of no's (even if people requested them), and met with him the week of to go over everything. 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!!!!!!!

We hired GenerationNOW for our wedding and they absolutely CRUSHED it!!!! One of the important things to us was to have the dance floor going strong all night, and DJ Dudley knocked that request out of the park. He kept the energy up all night and everyone absolutely loved what was being played! He also was a great MC for us, keeping everything on schedule and on track to make the day go as smoothly as possible. We would highly recommend GenerationNOW for any event...they are by far the best DJ we've ever experienced!! Can't wait to see them at another wedding!

We hired GenerationNOW for our recent wedding and I can't express how amazing the entire experience was. The few conversations leading up to the wedding were professional and personal and they found out exactly what we wanted from our wedding. 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.

Exceedingly prepared, professional, and do a great job of keeping everyone engaged.

Don was the DJ for a wedding held at Urban Growler Brewing. Don was great! Professional, polite, easy to work with, and did a great job with the music! Thanks! - The Urban Growler Team

Munya (TONEZ) was our DJ. He did a fantastic job! He was communicative and easy to work with to plan the details of our reception. He brought great energy all night and knew exactly how to get the crowd going. Tim helped set us up with Munya, and he was easy to work with as well. Highly recommend GenerationNOW!

DJ King Otto was great at our reception! His mixing was spot on! He showed up early and worked with us day of for last minute updates. GenerationNOW was accommodating with our COVID rescheduling and super easy to work with.

I had a great experience with Nikki from GenerationNOW. She was timely, kind and kept the party going! Tim was easy to connect with and had great communication.

GenerationNOW were great to work with in planning for our wedding. We knew we wanted the best DJ we could find to ensure our wedding was a party all night long! DJ Mad Mardigan delivered just that! The dance floor was packed the entire night, as he played hit after hit. Guests repeatedly commented that it was the best wedding party they had been to! And many commented that their feet were sore the next day...the sign of a great night of dancing! And do yourself a favor - get the cold sparklers! They added an extra special touch of cool to the night!

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 look back on the day, and the dance floor was the highlight. Thank you and highly recommend!

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!

We worked with Charlie and he was amazing. He communicated with us super well during the entire process leading up to the wedding. Our wedding was on a Thursday and the dance floor was super lively the entire night because of him! I would 100% recommend.

We are very music centric people and Shawn was terrific. He was friendly, easy to communicate with, and delivered exactly what we asked for. 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!!!

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!!!

Nick was our wedding DJ and the entire day/night was incredible. He made our wedding so fun and the music he played was amazing. The company as a whole was very professional and friendly throughout the whole wedding process. I would highly recommend this company to anyone!

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!

From the beginning, GenerationNOW was awesome! Super easy and professional to work with! We had Nick as our DJ and without a doubt he did exactly what we wanted and were promised. We got so many compliments on the music and the dance floor was packed all night! Definitely recommend working with GenerationNOW. Also, Tim was wonderful to work with when setting everything up!

GenerationNOW is the definition of professional while also knowing exactly how to get the party started and raging all night. We had DJ Matty Matt for our wedding and he was beyond incredible, effortlessly mixing an awesome playlist with a great lighting set-up that kept the dancefloor packed all night! Thanks so much!

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!

Charlie was our DJ for our wedding September 26th and he was fantastic!! Played music that everyone enjoyed and kept the dance floor going! We are so excited to have Charlie as our DJ for our bigger reception in May!!

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.

Ryan at Generation Now was so easy and friendly to work with! He was the DJ at my sister’s wedding and we had to have him for ours. Music was one of the most important aspects of our reception and Ryan kept everyone on the dance floor until the end! Thanks to Ryan and Tim for helping our guests have the time of their lives!

We had a great experience with GenerationNOW. Our DJ, Nicholas was very professional and listened to all the crazy requests we asked of him. He did a great job mixing in the Lithuanian music we had sent him and kept the crowd dancing all night!

The DJ we had was AMAZING! He played songs that kept people dancing all night, and if people didn’t like a song, he switched it right away! The dance was something I was most excited about and he surpassed our expectations!

GenerationNOW is the best DJ company out there. They make sure to be personal with your ceremony/party and make you feel like you are the only party they are worried about. They listen to your requests and really try to make sure you are 100% happy with their service. They are very timely and you never have to worry about anything. DJ Velvet (Ryan) is THE BEST DJ IN THE WORLD!!!

We worked with Nicholas / DJ Mad Mardigan, and he did an excellent job! He took requests and kept everyone on the dance floor all night. Everything went smoothly and we received many compliments from our guests on how great the music was! Would highly recommend him!

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!
