MDM Entertainment

The team from MDM really made the night for us! MDM took exemplary care of us throughout the whole process. We started with an introductory discussion with our DJ. We then used their easy-to-use portal to pick our “must play” songs as well as any blacklisted tracks. Lastly, tragedy struck on the day of our wedding—our DJ was sick and couldn’t attend! MDM didn’t miss a beat providing us with a backup DJ team and we were so grateful for how adept he was. He already knew everything we needed from the start and took all of the input we provided during our prior interviews with our original DJ, including our more niche requests. Most importantly, he knew exactly how to keep the momentum going on a dance floor, so it was packed all night long. Additionally, the last month of planning we realized we had just a little extra room in our budget. We added on a few lighting features, which added sooooo much to our venue! Thanks for making our evening special, MDM!

Hiring MDM was one of the very best decisions we made in our whole wedding process! DJ David absolutely crushed it. He's an artist at keeping the dance floor full and energized. He listened well on our planning call and gave us everything we could have possibly wanted! I literally cannot imagine having a better wedding DJ. And this was echoed by SO MANY of our guests - *everyone* was talking about how good he was, many saying he was easily the best wedding DJ they had witnessed. So needless to say we're just so thankful we went with MDM. They were so easy to work with and matched us with our perfect DJ. I'd recommend them to anyone!

We hired MDM for our lighting, draping, photo booth and DJ and could not have been happier with our decision. DJ David was awesome and kept the dance floor going all night long! The final call with him was very detailed and he asked the right questions to make sure the entire evening went perfectly. We worked with Patti leading up to the day and through the entire process they were extremely helpful! We would definitely recommend MDM!

Cannot recommend MDM enough!! They transformed our hotel venue into the space of our dreams and were great to work with. Definitely recommend!

Our DJ (David) came through MDM as well and we were able to use an online portal to give David our must play, nice to play, and do not play lists all in one location. A week before our ceremony we talked over the phone with David and went through the entire reception plan so we all were on the same page. When it came to the reception - we had a full dance floor the whole night which is always a sign of a great DJ and David really did a good job keeping the energy flowing all night without any lull or dead moments. We even asked for our first dance song to skip a verse and David was able to accommodate this request without any trouble.

From the beginning our service with MDM was incredible. Patti is so personal and made us feel taken care of. Our DJ David had an extensive call with us before the wedding to discuss his DJ style and really go through what we want/didn’t want. We had a polish-American wedding so we wanted to honor all walks of life. David did just that! The blend of music was perfect. He really read the room when he noticed people may have not been dancing and kept the party going all night. We had a few last minute changes to the order of events, people being introduced, etc the day of the wedding. David was able to adapt quickly, took the time to ensure names were being pronounced correctly, and didn’t swear anything! It is so important to connect with your vendors on a personal level. We highly recommend choosing MDM entertainment for your DJ/emcee/lighting needs!

MDM did a wonderful job with the lighting and draping for our wedding. After our venue incorrectly led us to believe that lighting and draping were included in our package, we were scrambling to find lighting and draping through one of its preferred vendors at the last minute. Fortunately, MDM was available and did a stellar job. We could not have been happier with their services.

We used MDM for lighting and draping decor. I worked with Alex, who was great at showing me examples and options and talking about what we can do within our budget. When an issue came up, she quickly escalated it to get it resolved. We were happy with how these additions added to our ceremony and reception.

We had such a wonderful experience with MDM Entertainment. My sister used MDM (DJ- Brian Jones) for her wedding 3 years ago. She had a great experience with them and we absolutely loved her music, so we hired them for our wedding. Their online system was easy to use and allowed us to pick songs we wanted, didn't want, etc. Would highly recommend Brian Jones as your DJ- he kept everything running smoothly and timely and kept everyone on the dance floor all night. We have received so many compliments!

From first call to our wedding night, MDM was amazing to work with! They were incredibly professional, went with the flow of our changing requests and ultimately made our wedding an amazing time. Patti was excellent in handling our requests and coordinating lighting for our venue. She was so responsive and exceeded our expectations. DJ Brian truly saved the day for us. He brought the best energy and was so accommodating to changes in plans. At one point he was running all over our venue looking for an extra microphone for our toasts. He truly had a huge impact on making our big day feel so perfect.

My husband and I have nothing but good things to say about MDM Entertainment! We had to reschedule and relocate our wedding reception due to COVID, and MDM was very helpful and understanding every step of the way. DJ David is absolutely awesome and helped make our reception one to remember! I totally recommend this company for your wedding needs, and recommend DJ David!

We were so happy that we found MDM. I saw a picture of the lighting they had done for a former venue at our wedding and knew we needed them. The up lighting was perfect as well as the bistro string lights hung over our dance floor. Most importantly, our DJ Hannah killed it. We’ve had multiple friends tell us it was the most fun they’ve ever had at a wedding. Everyone was on the dance floor until the night ended. She was so thoughtful in discussing our music preferences with us and seamlessly flowed songs together. She played to the mood of the crowd and it was truly incredible. I can’t recommend MDM enough!

We used MDM Entertainment as our DJ for our October 5th wedding (we did not hire them for lighting or photo booth). We had Robert as our DJ. He was very professional, did a go job MCing and keeping people on the dance floor. We have received many compliments after the wedding about Robert's skills as DJ/MC. Before the wedding, they will provide a link where you can outline required songs, play if available, do not play, etc. The forms were easy to use and they had a wide selection of music. Additionally, they were able to source a song we specially requested that was not on their list. We would recommend this service to other couples.

MDM was a great choice in DJ for our wedding! Their online music/playlist request form was super helpful! David was our DJ and he kept the dance floor packed all night! I told him prior to the wedding that I wanted everyone to dance and have fun and so many people told me how much fun they had and the dance floor was NEVER empty! David and his team were super easy and professional to work with!

We were so impressed with MDM -- highly recommend! Patti was so great to work with and made the whole process quite easy. We had our wedding at the Adler Planetarium and we used MDM for all of the lighting, a photo booth and DJ. DJ Kim was so amazing -- our guests are still raving about the music with the lighting and how fun the dance floor was! Everything was seamless, professional and all details were executed perfectly.

We had such a great experience with Patti and everyone else at MDM for our wedding in June! They were the most reasonably priced of all the vendors I spoke with, and were very professional. We used them to hang some draping as well as bistro lights from the open roof in the pergola space at Galleria Marchetti and it turned out STUNNING! Highly recommend!!

MDM Entertainment was a huge asset for us - they helped with our lighting (twinkle light backdrop) and our DJ, Hannah, was great! She kept our dance floor busy all night - there was never a dull moment!

MDM Entertainment made our vision come to life! We used their lighting services recently for our wedding day, and everyone was raving about how beautiful our venue looked. We worked primarily with Damaris, but everyone I spoke with on that team were just as helpful and kind throughout our wedding planning. They were easy to communicate with through email/phone and were so accommodating and flexible with our last minute changes. I love how they have a client portal too which makes it convenient when you are trying to stay organized with payments, etc. I promise you when I say that my genuine reaction to the lights were "WOW." It's just a shame that the weather was not on our side and our guests couldn't enjoy the outside lights as much.. but NO regrets.

David Olivares from MDM was the best to work with!! He had our wedding guests dancing the entire night and even extended our reception hours! He totally understand what my husband and I were wanting in our wedding - which was dancing all night long! He specializes in multi cultural weddings and made the transition between different songs so smooth! My background is persian and latino, so this was super important to me to appease both audiences!

Very patient and professional, especially DJ Hannah who put up with many last minute changes.

We recently used MDM Entertainments services for our wedding and we could not have been happier with the outcome. Patti did a great job communicating with us and promptly answered any questions we had. David was our MC for the evening and he knocked it out of the park! We had only talked briefly with him the week of our wedding and provided a short list of songs we like/don’t like, but he totally nailed the music and overall vibe we were searching for! Many of our guests complimented the music throughout the evening. They also provided a great atmosphere with uplighting and drapes.

My husband and I went with MDM for our wedding DJ company in July and are so happy we did. We chose DJ Robert and he was spectacular! MDM was able to get every song I requested, even a song from a movie that I used as my precession song. DJ Robert selected amazing songs for the reception and I received so many compliments on his song choices and mixing style. MDM and DJ Robert helped us have the perfect wedding and I cannot recommend them enough!

MDM and our DJ David were awesome to work with! From our very first meeting they were professional, thorough, and helpful with the planning process. They were quick in responding to any emails and helped my husband and I plan our day. David was our DJ and he was so awesome! He made sure to thoroughly go over all of our planning forms with us beforehand and made sure that the wedding went smoothly. MDM also setup our ceremony drapery and chandelier and it was BEAUTIFUL! We received so many compliments and it was exactly what we wanted. I cannot say enough good things about this company. Wedding planning is so stressful and we felt confident in MDM to help make our day run smoothly and to keep our guests on the dance floor. We would recommend this company to all brides & grooms planning their big day.

My husband and I had our wedding reception at the Adler Planetarium, and we utilized MDM Entertainment for our DJ and lighting needs. First off, the music at our wedding was incredible! DJ Robert was able to put together a playlist for the whole night that incorporated many different genres of music and kept the dance floor packed the entire night. He truly is a special talent and joy to work with and we are so very happy to have had him for our special day. We also utilized MDM for the grapevine lighting of the venue and they made it look stunning, providing the exact type of lighting/color that we were looking for. Patti was our primary sales consultant with MDM and she made the entire process seamless and straightforward. She is such a great person to work with! We would recommend MDM for anyone’s music and lighting needs!

They were super communicative and made sure everything was perfect.

Juan was amazing! He had people dancing all night long. He was professional and friendly! Thanks Juan!

David from MDM Entertainment was our wedding DJ. From the first time he sat down and spoke with us, he really seemed to get our music style as a couple. And we have very high expectations when it comes to Dj's. In the months leading up to our wedding David was always very patient and professional when answering all of our questions, mixing together a song for our first dance, and helping us format the timeline during the reception. My husband and I love dancing, and we wanted our guests to dance the entire night- which we did! We received so many compliments on the DJ. Our families were very impressed with how seamlessly David was able to play music that represented both of our cultures ( Mexican & Puerto Rican), while also playing the music that we love to party to ( house, hip-hop, & reggeaton). We had an absolute blast and we have David to thank for setting the mood, and we will definitely book MDM again for future events!

We hired MDM Entertainment for an open photo booth at my daughters wedding at 19East in Chicago. True professionals who were very easy to work with, delivering exactly what was promised in a timely manner. Everyone throughly enjoyed the experience. The attendant was also extremely friendly and helpful. First rate experience.

Choosing David at MDM Entertainment was one of the best decisions we made throughout our entire wedding planning process. Not only was David a great DJ, professional, and easy to work with, he put me at ease just a few weeks before the wedding during our final meeting by creating a very well thought out "timeline" for our wedding day. We received so many compliments on how smoothly David helped things to run during our wedding and no one stopped dancing the entire night which is exactly what we wanted! Thanks so much David and MDM!

We used MDM for our wedding in January 2017 and couldn't be happier with how it turned out! We booked a DJ and also photobooth through them. Both were top-notch, but the DJ'ing in particular was fantastic. They really know how to read a crowd and keep folks dancing. We received several comments from guests after the wedding that it was one of the most entertaining weddings they had attended! This accomplishment is outstanding, considering we gave pretty limited direction to MDM about musical choices. From perhaps a half-dozen 'must plays' and a long spotify playlist of varied and eccentric music for inspiration, they managed to craft a perfect playlist for the night.

MDM was great but our DJ Robert fell short of our expectations at the reception. EVeryone at MDM was really nice and helpful especially Patti for ligthing! DJ Robert was nice and was great when we talked the week of the wedding. He was really helpful with making sure things were set up correctly, but at the reception things were not the same. We thought that he would pay attention to all of our guests, but most of the guests older then 20 somethings did not dance do to the selection. There was a mix up during the entrance of the bridal party. I understand people make mistakes, but I was informed by my matron of honor that she informed him of the mix up and he was short and unplesant with his response. There was one song in particular that stuck out, becuase it was about cheating which we felt was inappropriate to play. Also, some songs that were in our play if possible playlist were not fully played. This company was great to work with but, I think we may have been happier with a different DJ.

Patti is amazing. We booked a tent venue before it was even fully built, just using pictures from the old tent and drawings of the structure to make our decision. We were on the fence until we met Patti. She had so many ideas and was full of excitement about the possibilities of having a blank slate to work with. Every single recommendation she made we loved. We wanted rustic elements, she suggested grapevine balls and whiskey barrels. We wanted romantic lighting, she knew exactly the shade of uplighting to use and how to space it out. The few days before our wedding, her team was there putting all the details into place and she was super responsive via both phone and email to answer my questions. MDM is definitely a company that has a goal of making your wedding unique, special, and what you've dreamed of, and they know exactly how to make it happen. I would hands down recommend them to anyone who has lighting or decor needs!

I cannot explain enough how amazing it was to work with this company! We found this company while looking for an LED dance floor and by the end wound up using them not only for the LED dance floor (which was a huge hit) but also for our head table backdrop, our center pieces and our DJ! All of which we recieved nothing but compliments on! Patti was easily the nicest and most responsive vendor I worked with. She always got back to me right away if I had a question and most times knew answers to questions before I even asked! DJ Nick was also amazing! He wanted to make sure everything was perfect for us! He had our guests dancing the night away - literally (we extended the reception)! Seriously use the company - you will not regret it!!! :)

MDM Entertainment gets it! Not cheesy, super retro and all right amazing. Patti is a dream to work with and DJ Brian exceeded expectations and rocked the house! I wish I could relive the night over and over again! I highly recommend MDM to any one looking for a great DJ company and recommend DJ Brian for your DJ!

Patti and MDM are wonderful people. I came to her office a year ago telling her my dream and about how I had no experience with anything. She not only made our reception look beyond expectation beautiful - you wouldn't recognize the place the next day - but she also helped me throughout with ideas for things. She is a wonderful human and is the kindest person. Thank you.

MDM Entertainment was super easy to work with! They are truly a full service company. You will initially meet with Patti (who is awesome and extremely organized) and based on the information you provide about yourselves and what you are looking for...she will match you up with the DJ that will best fit what you are looking for. Once the day came Nick, our DJ executed exactly what we planned and made sure the crowd was up and dancing and having a great time!!!! Hire them...they are affordable as well which is just the bonus!!! Janell M. now Janell B. :)

Working with MDM was a wonderful experience. Todd was our coordinator and was very helpful and patient. He worked with to make my dream day, just that- a dream. He sent me pictures of previous events to help guide the vision of our perfect day. He also recommended other vendors he knew were reputable and could also help me bring my vision to life! Todd recommended MDM's DJ Brian as our DJ and he was absolutely perfect! I still have guests commenting on the music and that the dance floor was never empty! MDM was a great entertainment company with so many options! I couldn't have been happier.

Brian was great to work with and we had a blast! MDM has a neat online form where you pick all your songs that you want to hear, and when, --and songs you dont want to hear! He did a great job of hyping the crowd and keeping the crowd dancing. The dance floor was full for the most part and he played only 2 songs that didn't go over well, but that can happen. I would highly recommend using MDM Entertainment as they were professionaly and personable. Brian Jones was great to work with.

We hired Nick to DJ our wedding and couldn't be happier! He was so fun to work with and definitely kept the party bumping on the dance floor! I highly recommend working with Patti and Nick at MDM! They were so helpful and made sure our day went exactly as planned!

We used MDM entertainment for our lighting and dj. Let me start by saying we loved every moment of working with them!! Our wedding reception was at a venue which allowed for outdoor dancing, which required that the dj be set up outside, but that music could still be heard and speeches given inside where we dined. They ROCKED that!! We a satellite speaker set up inside which worked perfectly, and the dj booth set up outside. They set up a solid plan b with us in case of bad weather which fit in the same price budget and kept our lighting perfect. We ended up with Italian string lights over our dance floor and dinner area, which everyone loved! Dance floor was packed all night thanks to our dj Robert. He talked with us the week of the wedding to get a feel for what we wanted and was so nice, assuring us our wedding was his number one priority for the week.. And it showed! Up until then, we worked a lot with Todd, who was very pAtient and kind! answering all of my questions and random emails. VERY easy to work with and is genuinely interested in making your day perfect. Worth every penny and have already recommended them to a few other brides.

Of everything we chose for our big day including the venue, MDM was by far the BEST choice we made for our wedding day and one of the vendors we would absolutely use again if we had the opportunity to do so . Patti (from the office) was amazing to work with and was super helpful with our timeline of the event. One of the things we really liked about MDM is you actually get to meet the DJ you will be using for your wedding. You begin by meeting with Patti and then based off of the type of DJ you are looking for she pairs you up with the best fit and then you have a meeting with your actual DJ before booking. The communication with MDM the enter time we worked with them was fantastic. We cannot say enough great things about our DJ, Brian. Our wedding coordinator did not do what she was supposed to do the night of the wedding and Brian really saved the day, keeping everything running smoothly and helping us stick to our timeline. He was so friendly and easy to work with. He honored all of our requests (both as an MC and DJ). He did exactly what we asked of him and then some. He kept the crowd going the entire night, he was an incredible DJ and we got many compliments. There was NO CHEESINESS whatsoever! Brian only used the mic to MC when necessary. We wanted a 'young, fun, upbeat' vibe for our wedding but with music all of our guests could enjoy and dance to and Brian did a perfect job giving us this kind of a vibe. MDM truly made our night. A DJ really makes or breaks an event and I would HIGHLY recommend this company (and Brian) to anyone looking for a wedding DJ!!!

I have nothing but amazing things to say about our experience with MDM. From our first meeting with Patti who coordinated our contract to our last song played by DJ David, MDM was nothing but the best! Patti helped us pick out the perfect up-lighting and chandeliers to go with our Adler Planetarium venue. DJ David met with us prior to our event and walked through timeline and song requests. Coming from a blended family we had a few special request on how to handle parents/step parents and he put our worries at ease. The day of we knew we were in great hands. The entire event ran smoothly with David's coordination, and the dance floor was packed from edge to edge. The videos online for David do not even do him justice- he is truly talented and did an incredible job mixing songs from all genres and playing off the energy of our crowd. All of our family and friends have been talking about how beautiful the lighting was and how great the DJ was. If you are getting married in Chicago I strongly encourage you to check out MDM if you want a seamless experience were you can enjoy your day and know that you are in great hands.

We couldn't have asked for a better DJ or MC than Nick Ruich. He and the team at MDM made our wedding reception a night to remember. The music was great, and he did a great job leading the night. But there's more to it than just the music. Nick met with us several times, not only to hear what songs we wanted him to play, but to learn about us. By the time the big night arrived, I feel like he knew us. Because he was so detail-oriented and so on top of the planning and execution of the event, we felt like we were in good hands - and we had nothing to worry about. He put on a rollicking party, and we are grateful that he was part of our big night. He was proactive and responsive, and was ready to do whatever he could to make our lives easier leading up to the wedding. I think he would have driven to Wisconsin to pick up flowers if we needed him to. Patti was great in organizing the administrative part of the deal. She was so friendly and easy to work with. She also made this process very easy - and that's worth a lot during the hectic days of planning, especially leading up to the wedding. We feel like we hit a home run with MDM, and recommend them highly.

MDM did the absolute most amazing job at my wedding. Booking through MDM was one of the easiest of all my vendors. We personally met with Patti who coordinated our wedding needs with their services. She really sat down and got to know us and that made us feel super comfortable. Patti got our vision and made such great recommendations. She even emailed me the week of my wedding to say "happy wedding week"! We picked DJ nick and he helped make our wedding absolutely perfect! He called me the week of the wedding and got to know us and what kinds of music we liked and didn't like. He really got to know what was important to us that we wanted included in our wedding. He made great suggestions and had awesome ideas. Nick was very professional the day of the wedding. He was organized and really kept the night on track. Our dance floor was always crowded and everyone had a blast!! He really wanted our night to be perfect and it was! I would highly recommend nick for any event! He really is great at what he does! We also had uplifting and it really made our room look fabulous! MDM really got my vision and made everything perfect!

Our wedding was incredible and we completely attribute that to our DJ and the services of MDM entertainment. From the moment we spoke with our DJ Nick in our planning conference call, we knew it would be a night to remember. All of our requests (no matter how obscure) were met and Nick even checked in with us periodically throughout the night to make sure he was making our dreams come true. Our wedding was literally made into a nightclub, which is exactly what we had envisioned. We had a blast, our guests had a blast, and hands down, we recommend MDM Entertainment.
