Look no further than Max 10 Entertainment! The entire process was seamless. Marcia was responsive and communicative and easy to work with. Melvin was absolutely awesome! The dance floor was packed all night! His mixing and song selections were perfection! So many people were telling me how awesome he was and kept asking me ‘how did you find him? He is amazing!’. He hit it out the ballpark! HIGHLY recommend Max 10 Entertainment!
Melvin and Marcia was so great to work with! I am so glad we trusted Max 10 Entertainment with our big day. Their online planning portal was easy to use and made picking out all our music fun and enjoyable, rather than stressful which planning a wedding can be. Marcia is very passionate about her job and it showed during our consultation where she got to know us a couple and then even more when she was behind the table at our reception making sure everyone was having a great time. Melvin had the dance floor packed all night! We definitely would highly recommend Max 10 Entertainment!
What an amazing experience from start to finish. My wedding went perfectly due to this wonderful couple being SO organized and on top of it from start to finish.....LITERALLY. My guest are still amazed by their professionalism and organizational skills. This here is top TIER service. Book with Max 10....why??because you will not regret it!!! Thank you again. I'm excited to use your service in the future!
Max 10 Entertainment is the DJ You Need
From beginning to end, our experience with Marcia and Melvin of Max 10 Entertainment was fantastic! It is nerve-wracking re-planning a wedding not only during 2020 but also from out-of-state. Our first interaction with Marcia was calm, straightforward, and informational. It was clear that she has been doing this a while and knows what she is doing. Then we met our DJ, Max 10 , what an amazing and engaging person. We chatted via video calls several times to build a rapport and for him to learn our music tastes and give us guidance. His recommended last song was perfect for us. He made our night epic! He kept the music flowing and our guests entertained, he also remembered certain stories to help our honored guests feel special. If you want to have a say in your music but really not have to give it another thought, Max 10 Entertainment all the way.... Thank you so much!
Definitely would recommend Max 10 Ent! Out our family and friends didn’t stop dancing the uplighting and color changing lights with the music is exactly what I wanted. Very organized as well! I don’t know very many Djs that take the time to make a schedule for the reception and to make sure the goes goes right! Our family is still coming up to me saying how they couldn’t stop dancing! Thank you for your services!
Marcia and Melvin were fantastic! We planned our Chicago wedding remotely from DC, and they made what could have been a very stressful process smooth and easy. Their website is simple and convenient. Marcia was so organized and on top of everything. And DJ Max 10 kept the party going on the dance floor all night! Even family members I’ve never seen dance were out on the dance floor. And to top it off, pricing was great too. Definitely recommend these two!
Very unprofessional, would not recommend this company. Max10 when contacted to inquire about an event. During the conversation began to become very flirtatious. Whom is suppose to be a married, bad customer services for a potential client.
As I woke up this morning, the day after my wedding, and watched all the wonderful videos our guests sent us from that day, there’s one thing that really stood out: our music.
Marcia and Melvin were able to bring together 3 different families with extremely opposite taste in music all together for us on our special day. They truly went above and beyond to make us happy. From the Uplighting and monogram they created for us to the stunning white setup, they truly made us feel like family and created a memorable night we will never forget!!
Let’s just say Max 10 Entertainment is one of the best. Marcia and Melvin really hold up there side of the bargain. I used them once before for my Mothers surprise 60th and they had the party dancing all night. I now currently used them again for my Wedding and got the same result. Between the DJ set up, lighting, music and communication, truly a great company with professionalism. A must use!!
The DJ makes the party and thats exactly what DJ MAX & The Wonderful Marcia did. They were our super heroes! Max knew what songs to play to get the crowed going! He had all our guest dancing the night away! Any time we had a question they were very quick to respond.
We met up with Marcia to review last minute things and she helped us create a timeline.. we didn't know we needed one and she took over and created one for us and sent it to our venders. She didn't have to do it but took that extra step to ensure she went above and beyond.
We also went with the Simply Magical ALL White package! When I tell you it really was Magical... All my guest were Amazed!!!! ( highly recommend) it made the hall look extra BEAUTIFUL! so worth the money!
Overall, we are very satisfied and all the guest couldn't stop talking about how amazing DJ Max was :)
Thank you for going above and beyond for us on our special night!
MUST READ!!!
We wanted to throw an insanely amazing Wedding!!!
Christopher and I got married at The Drake in Oak Brook, IL with a guest count of 280. I found Melvin & Marcia on The Knot. We were looking for someone that had a ALL White Package and amazing DJ'ing skills! We didn't know who to go with considering there are thousands of DJ's in the state. I read his reviews and they had 5 stars across the chart with 17 reviews! 7 is our lucky number call it cliche, I call it meant to be! I gave them a shot and went with their Simply Magical Package. I'm SO HAPPY that I did! Marcia is prompt and caters to every single detail that we needed for our wedding day. Marcia & Melvin met us at our venue a few times to go over details on where the setup, lighting, truss system, tables etc.. should be. Marcia was always there quickly to respond to any questions or concerns that we had. We are beyond happy and Max 10 ent. exceeds beyond our expectations on what we were looking for. We would recommend them to any future newly weds or anyone that just wants an awesome party! We gain new friends after all this. Thank you Marcia & Melvin :)
I couldn't ask for a better experience and would highly recommend Max 10 Entertainment. Our reception was a huge dancing party with a 20'x30' dance floor & Melvin & Marcia killed it. They put on an amazing party & was a pleasure to work with in the planning stages & then again for the actual event. Melvin coordinated with a drummer that we also hired, dressed and acted professionally, handled odd guest requests with polish, the volume and sound fidelity was perfect, top notch MC skills, and they even pitched in to make sure we (the groom & bride) were where we needed to be for the grand entrance, for cake cutting, etc. Thank you Max 10 Ent!!! Above & beyond. May we meet again! Andrea
We cannot say enough amazing things about Max 10 Entertainment! We were totally blown away and so were our guests!!! From the music, to the photo booth, to the Lighting - it was all perfect!!! We couldn’t have asked for anything better! Melvin & Marcia was wonderful every step of the way, They helped me stay calm and was ALWAYS there to answer all of our questions, no matter how big or small they were. They made our wedding the BEST DAY EVER! We cannot thank you enough!!
Hi Marcia & Melvin. Here is the review. Thanks again so much. We will definitely use your awesome company for another event.
WOW WOW WOW!!!
You guys did a outstanding job. Once the plan was discussed, ahead of time, the ceremony and reception went on so perfectly. As one of the brides & yes its a gay wedding, I never once had to even think about the music part of the wedding. You played the most perfect music and you really know how to work a room and keep the dancing and partying going. This particular group of invited guests loves to dance and have fun, and you made it happen over and over again. Thanks again so so much for making our wedding perfect. If we ever have a need for another DJ we will definitely be reaching out to MAX 10 Entertainment.
Thank you for having such a wonderful and professional business. Thank you for everything that you did for us. You went above and beyond to make our day so very special and stress-free. You guys rock!!!
We used Max 10 Entertainment for our wedding at Chicago Athletic Association and had an amazing experience. We have a mixed background of mexican and american families and friends and DJ Max pulled it off playing songs from all backgrounds and had people on the dance floor all night. The photobooth was a big hit. People keep coming up to us, telling us how great our mc, Marcia, was. In addition to our requests they did a lot of extra's and special things which were a big hit. The photo montage with pictures of us as children and than together as adults was amazing. The photobooth pictures were also great, was so cool, leaving the venue with high quality pictures. Melvin & Marcia was very easy to talk to and responsive throughout the whole process. Overall we HIGHLY recommend them and they helped to make our wedding day, the best day of our lives!
Melvin & Marcia are absolutely amazing! They were very flexible, accommodating, and just amazing at their job! We spoke on the phone prior to the wedding to get the details sorted out and Marcia did everything we asked for! They kept the night moving along. Marcia's announcements were clear and engaging. Melvin kept the dance floor packed and kept guests entertained. We had several compliments about him! Go with Max 10 Entertainment. I promise, you won't disappointed!
Melvin (aka DJ MAX 10) is amazing to work with! He kept the energy at an 11 out of 10 the ENTIRE night! From cocktail hour to the very last song, he played the sweetest songs to the most energetic beats! I can honestly say all of our guests can agree that Melvin kept the party going! The dance floor was packed the entire night. Every time our wedding is brought up my family and friends, one of the first things we reminisce about is the DJ/MC/music-- Melvin & Marcia had a huge impact on our wedding: the energy of the wedding and overall great vibes all because music brought EVERYONE together, we had guests of all ages on the dance floor the whole night!
The uplighting, MC and music = perfect! The uplighting Melvin offers is so worth it. It created such a beautiful ambience in our venue.
I cannot stress how great Melvin & Marcia was to work with, They are very responsive, listens to what the Bride and Groom exactly want, trustworthy and exceeds expectations. They are very flexible with requests and we recommend him 1000%. Thanks MAX 10 Entertainment for making our wedding the BEST everrr. -Tony and Marry Butler
Hands down THE BEST vendor we worked with throughout our wedding! From the beginning Marcia was responsive and available and totally got the vibe we were going for. She went out of her way to communicate with the owner of our venue and acted as our “wedding coordinator” the day of. Melvin and Marcia was on point, professional, energetic and down to earth! Everyone loved the music selection from the dinner to the dance floor. They did an amazing job keeping things moving and getting everyone involved. Highly recommended! He truly made the night perfect.

Max 10 Entertainment is as good as it gets, people! Period. We had DJ Max 10. as our wedding DJ and it couldn't have been Any better. Very professional, responsive, and attentive to detail. He kept the dance floor "lit" as the kids say. It was definitely fleeked out. Yeet! If you are looking for a wedding vendor, Island Sound is your one stop shop! Marcia, the office manager, is always kind and embodies what you want leading your team's customer service from the first phone call all the way until your wedding day. They have an amazing crew of driven young professionals that aim to make your big day easier than you can imagine. The office staff there does a tremendous job! The owner, has built this crew into an absolute monster. They have become hands down your top wedding vendor in the Chicago land area. Don't hesitate in choosing Max 10 Entertainment to make your big day into the day you will never forget.
DJ Max 10 was the best!! I can’t say enough - from the start with the ceremony all the way until the last dance of the night, he brought the music, energy and fun. He read the crowd well and recommended tweaks to the reception agenda that made things even better. He had a way about getting people pumped up, recommended some cool photo ops for bouquet and garter toss, and played amazing music that was exactly what we were looking for. Would give 10 stars if I could! The new husband and I are so thrilled with this vendor and can’t recommend them enough!
Max 10 was our DJ for our wedding. He did an amazing job working with us. We had him create our special dance song for our first dance, and our parents dances. We had special requests on songs to be played and not to be played in which he honored them all. He made suggestions that fit our needs which made our day even more special. Thank you again, and we will recommend him for any future needs for us, family, and friends.
Max 10 Entertainment provided excellent service durning the booking and planning process for our vow renewal.
Most important, the “day of” performance was beyond exceptional!
My guests as well as the venue’s staff raved about the music played—especially during the reception. We told him we wanted a party atmosphere and that is exactly what we received. The mixes were insane.
Absolutely do not hesitate to book Max 10 Entertainment.
I can't say enough good things about Marcia and Melvin. They were recommended by our photographer and from the moment we made contact I just knew they were the ones. Marcia is so wonderful, and on top of everything. I missed our deadline for the Monogram but Marcia was amazing and got it done for us! It was amazing!! Our DJ was Max 10 and he was AWESOME!! He was so great, kept us right on track and got everyone out on the dance floor grooving so much we added another hour! It was perfect! I'm so thankful to have found MAX 10 Entertainment - definitely the right choice!
Let me start off by saying these words: Excellence in Customer Service, Talented, Professional, Attention to details, Understanding of our needs, Generous Hospitality, Compassionate and Quality of Services.
On October 19, 2018, my fiancée and I finally got married after 6. 5 years and this day was the best day of our lives together. Marcia & Melvin from MAX 10 Entertainment made things possible that we thought otherwise was impossible. He provided a service that most cannot. He was able to read the crowd and made sure the dance floor was constantly packed with our guests having the time of their life! We provided a dedicated list of musics for our DJ Max to play but not all music was played. But then again, we gave him clear instructions to play whatever songs he needs to make our guest dance. We are extremely happy that he took it upon himself to play songs to entertain our entire guests. DJ Max made the impossible possible and we are extremely happy and pleased with the end result. Thanks for being patient with us during our initial meeting before the event. My wife made lots of adjustments with the play list because she's a perfectionist. Thanks for guiding us throughout the process and making our wedding day memorable. We are extremely happy with your talented staff. My wife and I wish your company much success and prosperity. Your personality was amazing to work with.
Max 10 Entertainment was absolutely incredible. They listened to everything we did and didn't want for our wedding and followed through accordingly. Marcia also gave great recommendations a few days before our wedding when we spoke over Skype. The day of, Melvin was great. He was prompt and had everything set up appropriately, both his equipment and himself. He watched the crowd and in doing so, never had an empty dance floor the entire night. Melvin interacted with the guests and was very engaging throughout the night. Marcia also did an incredible little surprise for us, but I won't give that away in case he does that again, but you will not be disappointed!!! We would recommend them to anyone looking for a Great DJ & beautiful lighting for any event, but especially for a wedding. He is phenomenal!
My husband and I had the most fabulous experience with Marcia and Melvin! I couldn't have asked for a more awesome couple to help us pull off our big day. Marcia was more than helpful with the planning process. She always accommodated our crazy schedules for meetings, gave me ideas, was available whenever I had a question, hooked us up with a beautiful lighting package and the price was unbeatable. People still talk about the music and how rad our reception was! =) Thanks again guys!
AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!! MAX 10 Entertainment made our special day so memorable! I had no idea how to do a reception and Marcia and her team walked us through flawlessly. The music rocked the roof off and the energy was so awesome! Our guests boasted about how the music was perfect and everyone heard what they requested. My expectation bar was set high and Max 10 Ent. blew our minds with the professionalism, customer service , entertainment and just over all the night was awesome . Thank you so much Max 10 Entertainment!!!
I cannot count how many of my guests came up to me during and after the wedding and said "this DJ is awesome!" He was great!! From the beginning, Max 10 Entertainment was very professional, easy to contact, and laid back. The reception was A BLAST because of Max 10 Entertainment. DJ Max 10 made sure to play songs from our song list and from the song requests, keeping in mind our "Do Not Play" list. He also was great at reading the room and seeing which songs got people on the dance floor - when he played a country song and my entire side of the family got on the dance floor, he did a great job of playing more, but not JUST making it about one genre. I had family members dancing who I thought didn't even know how to dance!! Marcia also did the announcements for our cake cutting, first dances, etc. and did a great job. FANTASTIC! Seriously - book Max 10 Entertainment, ask for Marcia!
Melvin did a phenomenal job. I had been to another wedding Melvin DJ'd and knew I wanted to have him DJ for our wedding. Anytime I contacted him, he responded right away. He is very professional. He was really helpful in giving us ideas on music when we weren't sure which songs to use. Melvin supplied the lighting for the reception. He took down contact info. for my vendors and supplied them all with a timeline for the day, so we were all on the same page. He kept the entire event running smoothly and on schedule. He was right on que during the ceremony. And kept all the guests engaged throughout the reception. I recommend MAX 10 Entertainment to everyone, They are fabulous!
We had an excellent experience with MAX 10 Entertainment! Excellent selection of songs, very willing to work with us for some of our more obscure music likes! Melvin was amazing in getting the event set up, responding quickly to any questions I had and Marcia was wonderful at the event. We had some issues with the event planner at our venue and Marcia really stepped in to help us out and make sure our night ran smoothly and was a night to remember! Max played music till the very last minute for my crazy dancing family, and didn't mind my flower girls puppy hanging out with him for a while! We really couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our wedding!
