MDM Entertainment

MDM is the BEST company to work with. Patti spent so much time with us making sure our day would be as perfect as we could make it. She helped us so much with our wedding by helping us coordinate time-lines, and she made sure she took the time to help us in every way possible. They are so easy to reach, and made the experience so much fun and not stressful. DJ Robert is the greatest MC and DJ- he was so much fun and had the best music choices and recommendations.

Every single one of their staff have so much enthusiasm and took the extra step to help us through the process. Their lighting, technology, speakers, and light shows were sooo gorgeous and had great sound quality. So many of our guests were so impressed by them, and we heard over and over that they have never seen a dance floor so full for the entire wedding. I cannot rave about them enough! If you are on the fence about choosing them for your event, don't wait! Book with them! Thank you MDM, we love you guys!

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.

MDM was great to work with from the very start. We were introduced to them by our venue, Walden, who is a trust partner of MDM's. We were able to book the right photo booth and lighting services for our wedding and the MDM team always provided us with various options and price points. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for photo booths or lighting!

We used MDM for string lights for our wedding at Walden in Chicago. The lights added something special to our decor and dance floor, and the room was beautiful. They helped coordinate everything expertly with the venue!

We used MDM for our lighting needs for our winter wedding at the Harold Washington Library's Winter Garden! Patti was very knowledgeable and organized in helping us create the perfect plan to match our lighting aesthetic. The lighting techs created the perfect ambiance for all stages of the night constantly making subtle tweaks from our ceremony, to dinner, to dancing! We are so happy we chose MDM for our wedding!

Thank You MDM Entertainment for making our wedding so magical! They worked closely with my husband and I to map out our wedding day. The lighting added such a whimsical touch. Thank you for your professionalism and direction!

We were booked at our venue with MDM to provide cafe lights, pipe and draping, and a big hexagon structure as the backdrop for our ceremony. The lights were already up probably from another event, but they were MIA- venue staff couldn't reach ANYONE. So my wedding was NOT like what we discussed and had a contact for, which is completely unacceptable. I get that it's busy now but we had a signed contract and this was just heartbreaking. Careful if you book with them- they might ghost you.

We worked with Patti at MDM for lighting and some furniture rentals to create a sitting area. We knew we wanted string lights for our tented reception, but were otherwise completely clueless about what we needed or wanted. We explained the style and vibe we were going for and Patti was great and walked us through all of the options of what we could do.

She also made recommendations along the way without being pushy. We ended up moving forward with string/cafe lights, uplighting and a dance floor pattern, a couch and a color wash in the seating area. She also worked really well with our florist that was adding greenery to the string lights - coordinating and leaving ladders behind for set up. Beyond being great to work with, their work was fantastic! We kept remarking that it didn't even look like a tent because the lighting was so wonderful. I highly recommend working with Patti and her team at MDM!

We only used DJ services here for our wedding and everything was great! DJ Kim was great and helped us with planning some things out before the event. Everyone here is very responsive to emails and text. A great experience. Best part was that our wedding was originally planned for 2020, but then COVID hit. MDM rolled our deposit over twice and completely worked with us through all the changes as we kept trying to get married during the pandemic. Well played!;

We already had a fantastic venue, but MDM made it "ours" by providing their lighting and draping and giving us the most beautiful, soft, romantic space! They worked directly with our planner and made things super easy for us. I loved what they did to make our vision come to life.

MDM and Patti were so fun to work with. My sister used MDM and DJ David for their wedding in 2018 and we new we wanted to use MDM for our wedding. We had DJ Brian and he was just as wonderful. I loved the online forms to really plan the day for months leading up, all the song suggestions and customizations. DJ Brian called us the week of the wedding to talk through the plan for the day.

He worked great with our photographer and videographer to have such a smooth event! I'd always recommend MDM to anyone looking for a DJ service. We also got the open air Photo Booth. all my guests had a blast, and all the pictures are uploaded to a website where you can see them and they are such high quality pictures! Thank you!

MDM and Patti went so far above and beyond to make our vision a reality at our wedding event. Patti was a true professional and so easy to work with. She worked in perfect collaborations with the florist @stevesflowermarket and the event planner @TheCreativePlanners to create a magical event space. The whole process was seamless to me as the client and that was exactly what I was looking for. I will use MDM again without hesitation!

MDM provided the DJ, decor and (mirror) photo booth for our wedding, and they did an excellent job! The photo booth's props were pretty low quality, but they were so fun! If I had one complaint about the DJ, it would be that he was a bit "low energy", but that was fine with me. He did an incredible job and kept our dance floor buzzing the whole night. 100% would recommend!

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!

MDM Entertainment was the company my wife and I chose for a DJ at our wedding. We got married 3 years ago and people still talk about David and how good of a DJ he was to this day! We also chose some lighting options as well and they were beautiful! The whole process from beginning to end was seamless with him, and MDM Entertainment was the only vendor we never had any issues with. I HIGHLY recommend David as your DJ and MDM Entertainment overall!

We booked MDM to Livestream our wedding a week ago for guests that could not attend due to Covid. We had an amazing experience and the video is excellent! It was so high quality and we heard compliment after compliment from our guests who watched at home. They all said that it made them feel like they had been there with us. We LOVED being able to go back and watch all 4 hours of the footage the next day, too.

The technicians they sent out were very helpful the day-of the wedding. On top of everything else, their prices were very reasonable. Don't think twice about hiring them to Livestream your event, it was so worth it!

Once we learned that we could only have 50 people max at our spring 2021 Chicago wedding we decided that we wanted to share the celebration virtually with our family and friends who could no longer be there in person with us, so we hired MDM to help and we are SO glad that we did! Not only did they provide a high quality live stream of our ceremony (the video and audio were fantastic), they also facilitated a zoom reception for us during our cocktail hour which was so fun!

We also loved the interactive elements they added to our streaming site, including a photo guest book and our wedding Spotify playlist. We worked with Patti and Mike for planning and executing the stream, and they were very friendly and responsive. We had such a positive experience working with MDM and would absolutely recommend their team!

Overall great - Patti was wonderful to work with; the onsite techs were helpful and hard working. We ordered 20 up-lights and 8 Gobos in our logo, total was approximately $4k. Not cheap, but I believe it's competitive pricing for Chicago. My only qualm is that I would have liked to know that the Gobos had a specific size limit because when we arrived at the venue, the artwork on the walls had changed so we had to move Gobos around and to increase the size made them blurry.

My mom found MDM Entertainment online, and after speaking with David O, she was convinced that this was the company for me to work with for our wedding event. David was extremely flexible and open with us. He gave us honest opinions. He let us have our way, while providing wisdom on the best way to handle things, so we can get the effect that we wanted.

Our vision came to pass with simple decor choices. We loved working with them. Our decor was amazing. David and his team are awesome and we hope to do business again in the future.

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.

MDM Entertainment, especially David, was such a pleasure to work with. Not only did they do a superb job with our drapes, MDM went the extra mile to ensure that our special day went seamlessly. David, our DJ, was simply amazing! He helped keep our wedding festivities on schedule (which was surely not a part of the contract) and ensured that all of our wedding guests had an amazing time. MDM was a pleasure to work with. They were extremely professional, set clear expectations, and delivered as promised. We would highly recommend them for your wedding or special event!

There are not enough good things we can say about our experience working with MDM Entertainment, and specifically David, the DJ we hired for our wedding. Not only was David great to work with throughout our entire wedding planning process but about a week and half before our wedding, we had a planning call with him that put me (the bride) completely at ease.

His attention to detail and organization assured me that our big day would go off without a hitch and it did! From his music recommendations to the way he incorporated songs we requested, David is clearly an expert DJ and it showed. Our guests didn't stop dancing, no one wanted to leave! We received so many compliments on the music and we have David and MDM Entertainment to thank. Thank you so much David for an unforgettable party, the best one we could've dreamt of!

I only have positive things to say about our experience with MDM. We used their lighting services for our wedding and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. All communication via phone and email was positive, helpful and thorough and Patti was excellent with checking in and making sure our lighting package perfectly fit our needs/wants. We ended up using their grapevine balls above the dance floor and soft amber uplighting around the room and it all looked stunning.

Everything was perfectly in place when we arrived and our guests could not stop commenting on how unique the grapevine balls were. Definitely worth the price - I highly recommend MDM!

MDM did the lighting and draping at our wedding last summer. They did an amazing job and completely transformed the space at Adler. We loved the sputnik lights we chose and all the colors of the lights which really made for a great party atmosphere once the dancing started. Patti was our contact and did an awesome job helping us through the entire process. Thank you to the team for such an amazing night to remember!

I would highly recommend MDM for DJ and photo booth services! I booked them for a large 700+ person event at our offices. Folks were going nuts over the photo booth and props. There was a line of people always waiting to strike a pose. People were taking selfies of themselves in line with their fancy new selfie sticks. The DJ keep the party atmosphere fun and engaging. David was extremely easy to work with and promptly answered any request I had. MDM gets my highest recommendation! Job well done.

From our first meeting with MDM to the end of our reception, MDM was nothing but spectacular and professional. We used them for their DJ services. First, we met with Patti who was very knowledgeable of our venue and the requirements we needed to make our wedding entertainment successful. She was very accommodating with the several meetings that we had with her.

We never felt like we were being pressured into a package that we didn't need. Based on our music preferences she was able to match us with DJ Nick. DJ Nick was everything we could have hoped for and more. From early on in the process he was able to accommodate our music preferences and give us suggestions. We had very specific requests throughout the night and he was able to fulfill all of them.

He introduced himself to our parents prior to the event and was a stand up gentleman throughout the night. He was always prepared and kept us on schedule, letting us know when speeches were coming up, first dance, etc. Once the dancing portion of the night began, the dance floor was never empty. He was able to keep all generations on the dance floor all night with a variety of different eras of dance music.

We were thoroughly impressed and received numerous compliments on how great the music was. Several of our friends inquired about DJ Nick for their own weddings coming up in the near future. We HIGHLY recommend MDM Entertainment and DJ Nick. You will NOT be disappointed!

Our venue was beautiful already, but MDM made it COME TO LIFE! We hired them for lighting and draping. It was so lovely. Patti was so helpful and amazing to work with. She discussed my vision with me and it couldn't have been more wonderful. This was definitely one of my best vendor choices. Thanks, MDM!

MDM provided superb customer service! They were attentive, flexible, and really cared about our experience with their services! Patti was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. The results of the draping turned out better than I could have imagined : Would recommend them to anyone!

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.

We used MDM for our wedding and we had such a positive experience. At our first meeting, we met with Patti and we were sold immediately. She was so helpful and easy to talk to about what we were looking for in terms of entertainment for our wedding. She met us at a coffee shop in the city close to our apartment in order to make it more convenient for us.

I really liked how she showed up with an ipad at the meeting so that she could show us examples of the lighting that they offer and review the website with us. We really liked that MDM offered both DJs and lighting so that we didn't have to look for another vendor for the lighting package. We also really liked the online planning form that we used to select our event timeline and music.

We made changes up until a few days before the wedding and it was so easy to use. We also really appreciated how flexible their payment schedule was. Most importantly, I cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed working with our DJ, Robert Nicpon. Robert met with us face to face about a month before the wedding, again accommodating a location that was convenient for us.

He took notes all through our discussion and then sent an email outline of what we discussed, which really made me feel secure that he was on top of it. He went out of his way to accommodate some very specific requests, including a mashup of the traditional Jewish wedding Hora and an Arabic instrumental medley, which I'm sure was a request that he does not get often.

My fiance was extremely particular about the music, which versions, volume, transitions, etc. and he patently agreed to do exactly as we asked. In addition to being excellent to work with, we found Robert to be an absolute pleasure to get to know on a personal level. We felt that he really look the time to get to know us as a couple and we thoroughly enjoyed getting to know him as well. Our experience with MDM Entertainment was that they are highly professional and easy to work with. If I could do it all over again, I would choose MDM every time.
