We used MAC Events as the DJ for our wedding! Cannot recommend them enough! The planning process was so easy and Ryan accommodated everything we wanted! Ryan was supposed to be our DJ but he ended up getting sick and was in the hospital! So they sent someone else from their team and they did a great job! Everything went perfect. Some of our friends told us after that our DJ played so many good songs/were so good and people were on the dance floor all night!!

One thing at my wedding that I wanted the most was to have a good DJ to play at my wedding to keep the atmosphere alive, and not boring. A that's what I got, he was so professional, kept everything rolling, even though I (the bride) was running behind. He adjusted to everything good and kept rolling with it. We talk several times before the wedding and he was so helpful when I had questions and was asking him for his opinion on stuff that I wasn't sure about. I'm still getting compliments about my DJ. So I truly couldn't be happier on how everything went at the wedding.

Ryan was a pleasure to work with from the beginning. He was always super responsive and brought a good, fun and professional energy whenever we spoke about the wedding details. He made me feel really secure that everything was being handled and he made everything super easy logistically!
DJ Manuel...Where do I begin with how AMAZING he was. He truly brought the party to life with his energy and DJ set. Seriously the dance floor was the highlight of the wedding and everyone was on the dance floor from the minute it opened, until the very last song. I don't think I have ever danced so hard or had so much fun in my entire life. He really made our wedding reception everything we dreamed of- fun, full of life and amazing energy and it did not waver the entire night. He was a great MC and made the flow of everything so smooth. I feel so blessed that we had Manuel DJ our wedding, and would do it all over again if I could. Thank you thank you thank you to DJ Manuel, Ryan, and MAC Events!

Communication with Mac was quick and easy from the start. After the zoom meeting he paired us up with the PERFECT DJ that suited our wedding needs. We had the absolute party of the century all because of the DJ! He was a huge part of making it the best day ever! We danced so hard with our guests we were tired for 3 days. Seriously 10/10 recommend!!!!

MAC events was amazing for our wedding this past weekend. They were recommended by our wedding planner and they absolutely delivered. We worked with Manuel and he perfectly saw our vision of a combined Mexican/American wedding. He worked so well with both the mariachi and banda playing a nice blend of both English and Spanish music until literally until 1:30am. He saw our vision for the ceremony and made perfect recommendations. Both him and owner Ryan were super organized, responsive, and dedicated to making our day special. 10/10 would recommend, you cannot go wrong with them.

MAC Events was the perfect choice for our wedding entertainment. We wanted a party that was fun but also family friendly, and they delivered exactly what we asked. Ryan was incredibly responsive to all our questions, and our DJ, Manuel, was fun and personable. We added the foam LED lights and the monogram, which both added a fun and personal touch. Great entertainment for a great value!

We had the pleasure of having MAC Events DJ our wedding ceremony and reception. All of his services went above and beyond our expectations. Mac was always very communicative and helpful. We had two meetings with him and never left with a question unanswered. The website he has for music was super beneficial and detailed. Everything was perfect. We highly highly recommend!

DJ Cousin Shawn is truly the only DJ I want at my events in the future! He had one hell of a job to do for our wedding due to some crappy unforeseen circumstances. But he KILLED IT! Truly outdid what I would have ever expected and then some! SHAWN is truly the best DJ you can find for any event!

BEST. WEDDING. EVER!! Ryan was the absolute BEST to work with! He handled literally everything for us with such professionalism, and he really understood what we wanted for our wedding and KNOCKED it out of the park! We had such a blast partying the night away! We stayed in contact for over a year planning our wedding night with Ryan, he sent us monthly check ins and constantly reached out to confirm details with us and make sure we had everything we needed and more for our special night! We 100% will be recommending Ryan to any and all our family and friends!

We are so happy we had Trevor as our DJ! DJ Mac Events was a great vendor! Communication was great - we even got some timeline reminders and guides from them. The music and sound was our most important part of our wedding. The team helped us with our timeline on the day, and everything went so smooth! Pricing was transparent and easy. We made a few late decisions and music choices and they accommodated us! We loved using the light sticks! Lighting for the night was also great! We loved all the add ons you could do, and we even used their photo booth.
Trevor did such a great job with music selections and everyone had such a blast on the dance floor. We were able to easily create playlists in Spotify and upload them for the DJ.
Thank you Trevor! - music was a top priority and you and Mac Events really delivered for us!

DJ MAC was incredible and a vital component to making our day spectacular. He was so proactive about planning and very on top of everything, so I never had to reach out to track him down which was a huge relief. He kept careful notes of all the details we gave him so he could help our reception progress smoothly. He also is an awesome DJ and responded to the mood of the crowd and kept them all happy. We got so many compliments about how great our DJ was at keeping the dance floor energized. I would recommend him to anyone and absolutely book him again.

We cannot recommend Mac Events enough. We had the honor of hiring Ryan & Manuel for our wedding in Ohio (yes, we paid for them to come to Ohio because that's how much we wanted to work with them!), and we are so incredibly happy we did.
When we first met with the team, we let them know we had a few "must plays" and "do not plays", but allowed them the creativity in between, and they executed the entire day and evening flawlessly. Their music selection was impeccable, catering to guests of all ages and tastes.
Overall, we cannot recommend Mac Events highly enough. If you're looking for a DJ who will elevate your wedding or any special occasion to new heights, look no further. With their exceptional talent, professionalism, and dedication to excellence, they are sure to make your event an unforgettable celebration.

We had a great experience with MAC Events! The booking process was easy, and the online portal for song selections made everything simple. Our DJ for the evening, Trevor, was super nice and professional and kept the dance floor going wild until the very end of the night. That was something I was concerned about - I've been to weddings where people don't really dance too much and I wanted everyone to enjoy themselves. It was awesome!

Ryan ("Mac") is an experienced dj who will keep your day flowing seamlessly. He has a state-of-the-art sound system (and lighting if you choose!). We got so many compliments in sound quality, especially from some of our hard-of-hearing family members during our ceremony. He is a fantastic emcee, and handled our Introductions, dances, and everything else perfectly. He of course has an extensive musical knowledge and knows how to match ANY vibe, and will defend your do-not-play all night long, while matching your requested songs perfectly. He will take very good care of you. Super communicative and responsive too, with Zoom calls beforehand and a website to configure everything down to the timings of the processional. I wouldn't have had it any other way.

It’s taken me a week to write a review because I truly couldn’t get my words in order. Mac Events went above all my expectations. The portal they give you to organize all your songs was very easy and user friendly. He is there for you whenever you need him and does Zoom meetings leading up to the event to make sure everything is perfect. We were scheduled with DJ Khalid and he was amazing. The day of our wedding went so smooth. Everything was literally perfect, I couldn’t have asked for a better day and I know Mac Events was a huge part of it!! Thank you so much!!

We used MAC events at our wedding and Gerald was our DJ. I was the bride and am still pretty amnesic to the whole event (it goes so fast!) but everyone has told me we had the best wedding/threw the best party they'd been to in a long time. They specifically said the DJ was awesome. Gerald did a great job with our multiple requests as well. My husband is from West Africa so we asked for some afrobeats to be included in our song line up and he put in some of my favorites. Ryan also helped cut a song for our intro over a month prior to the wedding so we could practice the intro dance, which was very helpful.
We also got the photobooth and have a ton of amazing photos to look through and remember the evening.
These guys are well priced, very responsive and open to any and all requests and feedback. 100% recommend.

We worked with Ryan and had the absolute best experience. I could tell from our first meeting that he had the outgoing and honest personality for the job. He was so easy to communicate with and responded quickly every time! More than willing to get together as many timed as needed leading up to the wedding to make sure everything was perfect. And this was all before the wedding! On wedding day, he checked in with us multiple times (never at a bad time and never pulled us away from what we were doing) to keep us on schedule and make sure we were where we needed to be or doing what we needed to do at that time. He made sure to hit all of our favorite songs and kept notice of the crowd to play music everyone was into. Highly recommend Mac Events and Ryan especially!!

DJ Mac was a rockstar! He made everything flow so smoothly, played all the hits we asked for, and mixed them with a bunch of fan favorites so that all ages could relate to the different genres! We had so much fun and I (the bride) couldn't leave the dance floor I was having so much fun with my new husband and all our friends and family! This was a truly great experience. Organized from start to finish, and Ryan was absolutely amazing to work with. Thank you so much for making our night so special!

Mac Events made my wedding planning details A BREEZE. You have your own client profile with everything you could possibly think of auto generated for you to fill in with details such as wedding party, dances for parents, first dances, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception. We worked directly with Carlos Bates and exceeded all expectations. I was able to enjoy my wedding day STRESS FREE thanks to Carlos keeping track of our timeline, details, and requests. He was very professional, kind, fun, and original with his music. He kept everyone on the dance floor until the lights came on. He even went out of his way and played TWO additional songs after the night was over. Carlos knew how to read a room and made my night an absolute party.

This crew comes highly recommended, from start to finish.
Ryan (DJ Mac & Owner) has a great grasp of communication on not only music/event preparation but general wedding guides sent via email... these saved us more than once.
Trevor (DJ Fat Cat) brought the heat and kept folks on the dance floor for the entirety of open dancing... and then some!
Overall, we and our wedding guests all pointed MAC Events out as a highlight throughout a perfect day. Book them, like, yesterday!

Ryan at MAC Events made our wedding reception a dreams come true. We asked for a full dance floor all night and he DELIVERED! Ryan didn’t just create a great playlist based on our vibe and hit ‘play’, he was mixing songs all night long. I couldn’t believe how many of our guests stayed with us to the end and were disappointed when the lights turned on to end the night. MAC Events pricing was extremely competitive and their professionalism leading up and during the event was top notch. If you want a great party, look no further!

Simply put, DJ MAC was a superstar in helping make our wedding so perfect.
Ryan (Mac) was incredibly organized in both the planning phase and the day-of execution. He responded promptly to any/all correspondence and took the time to make me and my wife feel important. Aside from how professional he is, Mac was somebody we connected with right away. He has the energy and voice to pull off all MC duties, and he is just a guy you want to be around.
He choreographed our ceremony music in perfect timing, brought vibes to cocktail hour, gave grand introductions throughout formalities, and then kicked the party up a notch for ceremony dancing. I received multiple complements on how DJ Mac kept our dance floor full throughout the evening.
I highly recommend that you consider Mac for your event.
