Event Company

Mike and I just got back from our honeymoon last night and I wanted to send over a quick thank you for all you did to make our wedding day perfect. The tent looked absolutely amazing and that is in huge part to you and your staff. Your guidance and flexibility made us feel at ease the whole planning process. – Mike and Alicia

Loved working with MDM Entertainment! Very professional and everyone that I spoke and worked with (Mike, David and Adam) was so friendly and welcoming. We can't thank you enough for finding the perfect backdrop photo for our corporate Tailgate event. We are certain that our clients will be displaying their pictures (that we put in frames) on their desks or in their homes, showcasing their good time and our logo and website 🙂 Please feel free to use our company for a reference anytime! – Sonja W

OMG … OMG….OMG! Everything was absolutely gorgeous, stunning and impeccably breathtaking! It was everything that I had imagined plus! Ever single one of our guests were completely taken aback when they entered the room! (I don’t think they thought we could top the main entrance and cocktail hour .. hahahaha) I absolutely cannot thank you & Mike enough for all that you guys have done for me and Lester. Our guests are still raving about everything and absolutely cannot believe it when I show them of what the Adler really looks like without the decor/design 🙂 I want to do it all over again! hahahahahaha You guys were amazing and I hope to work with you guys again 🙂 Thanks!!! – June and Lestor

You GUYS, as I told Patti last night--we have NEVER seen it like that! I heard so many people raving about the music, our team was floored by the lighting system you guys set up. We had such a blast last night! Mike- you music choices were the bomb diggity. Let's definitely do this again! – Emily H

Mike did an amazing job and was so knowledgeable and easy to work with. Basically the DJ runs how the reception goes and he could not have done a better job, he made my day and I would not have changed one thing! I am so happy I chose MDM Entertainment. Patti always responded so quickly to any questions or concerns I had and they have the highest quality DJ's you could ever get! – Elizabeth C

This was our third corporate event with MDM and we were once again very pleased. We received nothing but incredible feedback on the event and that would not have been possible had Mike not set the tone for the atmosphere with the music. Going in, we weren't sure if we'd even need a dance floor. But Mike got people out of their seats and we were completely surprised! We look forward to working with you all again soon! – Kate K

Everyone had the best time of their lives! It was seriously the best day ever ! Mike and I couldn't be happier with the lighting, dj nick, Photo Booth the gobo. Everything was exactly what I envisioned! Dj nick is the funniest ! Thank you everyone at mdm for everything ! – SherryAnn M

Thank you again for making our wedding day so special. Please thank Mike, Sarah and the entire team who came to set up. The feedback from our guests has been nothing short of raves and we could not have done it without your help. From the bottom of our hearts, Jason and I thank you so much. – Katherine K

Thank you once again for all of your work during our commitment ceremony! We had a blast and so many people have told us how wonderful everything was and how great the lights and everything looked. Thank you again SO much! – Daniel R

Hi patti and mike! Me and John can't thank you enough!!! Our wedding turned out so beautiful! We would never dream of anything like that. Your team does such an amazing job. Every detail was taken care of by you two and we had absolutely nothing to worry about! – Taryn and John

MDM was everything we needed. Mike was so great, he even lined up my wedding party for the introduction. Finding/choosing a DJ was stressful, we're glad we chose MDM, and we were lucky to have Mike with us that night. 🙂 – Amy L

Experience working with MDM was exceptional from start to finish. LOVE the easy-to-use online booking system. I had full confidence in Patti and Mike, even though I wouldn't be on-site that day. My co-workers and the client were very happy with the setup/music. Keep doing what you're doing because it's definitely working! – Chelsea D

Everything was wonderful! Mike and Patti were outstanding. Thanks for everything! – Kim G

Everything was wonderful, exceeded my expectations! We are so happy to have had Mike as our dj. – Gaby and Mike P

Mike was awesome and made the whole room look so much different with the beautiful up lighting. Mike had the best prices around and never did I feel like he was trying to sell me more than what I needed or wanted. – Shari

We had Mike DJ our wedding, and he was AWESOME! So many people complimented us on the DJ choice and the dance floor was packed the whole time. The photo booth was a great addition too, so many people loved it. Thanks again, you really made the party memorable! – Kim & John W

Mike did a great job helping out the mood of the evening and working with our staff. We will definitely contact MDM in the future when we have events in the Chicagoland area. – Corey S

Mike and our photo booth attendant were both really kind and professional. Mike was very organized and worked well with my wedding planner to make sure the event ran very smoothly. I am extremely happy with the services provided by MDM Entertainment! – Holly and Brendan

Thank you Mike!! We received so many compliments on your DJ'ing, and we agree that you were the best possible DJ for our wedding 🙂 We had a blast dancing, and you kept people on the floor all night. Thank you for being so awesome! When we return from our honeymoon, we will be putting referral information for you on our website! – Heatehr and Ryan W

Mike was wonderful! Very professional and friendly. He played everything we requested and more! Could not be happier! – Erin P

Mike was very helpful if putting our thoughts of how we wanted our reception room to look into action. The lighting we chose with his help made the room look amazing! We would highly recommend MDM Entertainment to anyone who needs Lighting! – Jay D

Mike was wonderful. We had many people at our wedding tell us that it was the best DJ they ever had at a wedding. The music was great and the dance floor was packed all night. – Lauren S

Mike, you were such an amazing DJ & such a breeze to work with. We had the time of our lives dancing which is exactly what we wanted! Would love to have a "soundtrack" to our reception! We would seriously love to work with you again when we renew our vows or throw another big party! – Julie B

Mike truly made the entire night great. From the cocktail hour to the last dance, the party never stopped. Thanks again Mike – Jessica S

Thanks Mike! Everything was great! We had soo many compliments. The hall looked beautiful. Shawn did a great job with the projectors. You should be getting a call from 2 of my friends in the near future. I am going to write a great review about MDM on yelp. thanks again for everything. – Elsie and Vinod K

This is the second time using MDM. The first was for my wedding and again, they did not disappoint. Mike went out of his way to make sure that our event went off flawlessly. He his flexibility and ability to read the diverse crowd and make adjustments kept the majority of our guests at the event until it was time to shut down. Mike’s willingness to let us utilize his equipment for the key parts of our ceremony allowed me to focus on other areas as I knew that with Mike at the helm we were in good hands. For our next event, Mike will be the first person that I call to meet any of our entertainment needs. Thank you again for your hard work. – Wil W

Everything went great! It was such an awesome night and Mike helped make it even better! – Mark H

Mike was fantastic. He did a great job. We are not dancing people, by any means, but he had everyone on the dance floor having a great time. He was very respectful of our do not play list. We had a couple of people request songs form the do not play list and Mike would not play those songs. He was also great with playing songs that were not already in his repertoire, as long as we sent him the MP3s. We did have a strange request; we had asked that he cut all of the lyrics out of a song and he did. The planning form was also very helpful. Thanks for making my wedding reception great! – Jami K

Hi Mike! Thank you for everything! I am still hearing about what a great time everyone had and how much they loved the music. Nate and I had such a blast and you certainly made that all possible. You were so great to work with and made the process very easy for us. And, thank you for letting me sing "Bust A Move!" I knew I wasn't going to be able to get out of singing it at my wedding 🙂 Thank you for all of the memories! – Nate and Elle R

Mike and MDM Entertainment made the special day even more spectacular. They worked with our budget to give us that wow factor without making compromises. Even our event coordinator told us MDM rates were the best she has ever seen in her professional career. The room looked so amazing it could have been photographed for a wedding magazine. – Renee

Mike was absolutely wonderful! We received tons of compliments from our guests regarding the music and DJ, and we have already referred him to a few of our friends who are getting married in 2011. – Diana W

Mike, you did such an excellent job and I was so pleased with everything!!! You announced things that I didn't even think about, and you were on top of your game!!! I will definitely recommend you to others and who knows, maybe we'll need your service for future events! 🙂 Thanks so much for everything!!! – Chau & Bernadette N

Mike did an excellent job at our wedding and truly made it a memorable evening. I was told by many of our guests that the DJ did a wonderful job of getting everyone on the dance floor and having a great time. – Timothy and Jennifer H

Mike, you are absolutely fabulous!! Great evening and will definitely use you again for our next auction. – Ann S

MDM Entertainment was awesome. Mike Dodson was our DJ/MC and he did a wonderful job. Music was awesome, everyone was dancing and having a wonderful time. Over the past weekend, I cannot count how many people said that it was the BEST wedding they have ever been to. They were very easy to work with and helpful with music selections. If I were to do it all over again, I would be foolish not to use MDM. GREAT JOB! – Emily H

MDM and Mike is beyond excellent service! I highly recommend MDM! Everything was perfect -- Thank you! I submitted rave reviews on both MDM's site and Wedding Wire...and the Knot too, but trust me, you're a popular, raved about name and company on there...I was just adding to the mix. All the best and thank you for being a SUPERB vendor! – Laurel B

Thanks for everything, Mike! We had the wedding of our dreams! Everything was utterly FANTASTIC! Keep doing what you're doing. Robert was hailed as the best dj people had ever heard! – Nicole and Mark M

Everything was wonderful! Thank you so much Mike! You really did a great job and kept everyone on the dance floor until the very end. – Kelly and Brian

Thank you Mike!! You did an incredible job!! And thank you for staying until 1! We all had such a great time! – John and Michelle G

Mike was great at not playing music I said not to unless I told him to. He really read the crowd well and all my guests raved about our DJ to me! I was told by many different people that it was one of the best if not the best wedding they have been to and most of that is due to the DJ. – Samantha and Joseph K

Mike was great. We didn't select a single song other than the entrances and first dances. The dance floor was packed all night, and most guests stayed to the very end. In fact so many people stuck around that when the hotel tried to shut the party down the guests required an encore from our DJ! What a blast. – Michael and Ashley G

Both Mike and Oliver were great to work with! Mike was very prompt in responding to any emails or questions, and Oliver was exactly the kind of DJ we were looking for! He created a perfect wedding evening for us and our guests. Thank you for everything! – James and Jillian H

Thank you so much, Mike! We loved everything you did for us and we thought the music was fantastic! We would recommend you to anyone we knew who was looking for a DJ. Thanks, again! – Andy and Elizabeth J

MDM was absolutely amazing. Mike D played great music and the dance floor was filled the entire time! We are still getting compliments on how awesome the DJ was. Even the reception hall staff and the minister made positive comments on how great Mike was to work with! We appreciate his work so much and believe he is a huge reason why our wedding was so perfect and fun. – Ashley and Eric H

Mike was just great. Would definitely recommend to others. He made the day special. – Mary L (Mother of the Bride)

Mike was great! We heard lots of compliments on his performance from the volume of the music, to the pacing of the evening, to his ability to read the crowd while the wedding was happening. He was able to find even our most obscure music requests. He did a great job of keeping all of our guests entertained and on the dance floor. Thanks! – Todd and Ashley F

Part 1 "Mike did an outstanding job DJing our wedding reception. Music was a VERY important part of our wedding and all of the songs we requested were played. The dance floor was full the entire evening and everyone had an excellent time. The music selection was appropriate for ALL the guests and I would recommend MDM again and again for future events." Part 2 "This email is very long overdue, but we wanted to thank you a million times for doing such a wonderful DJing job at our wedding. We had our reception on October 18 at the Holiday Inn at Merchandise Mart and had a blast...due in part to your excellent song choices. The dance floor was completely packed the entire night...which guests still make comments about. They tell me they've never been to a wedding where that many people were dancing for that long all at once. We truly enjoyed ourselves and we hope you enjoyed the pie at the end of the night! We finally got some of the professional photos back, so we've attached a few of us and the crazy dance floor we thought you might enjoy. Thanks again for doing an outstanding job, and we look forward to recommending your services to friends and family for future events. Best regards, – Megan and Ron M

Mike you were GREAT! Everyone complimented me on the flowers and the music. You were wonderful – Tom and Heather K

We were VERY happy with MDM and Mike at our event. Mike was very responsive throughout the planning stages. During the reception, one of the songs we really wanted to dance to was played, but we were not in the room. At the end of the night, Mike played that song just for us (not sure who told him we missed it the first time!). During that song, the groom remembered he forgot to dance with his sister as promised. He asked Mike to play another one, so Mike asked his sister what song she wanted and he had it and the groom and his little sister got to have their dance. The final touch was ending it by playing our song one more time to give us an opportunity to dance to it again. A very memorable experience with MDM and Mike Dodson. We will definitely recommend Mike and MDM to others. – Scott and Amanda S

We loved working with Mike and will continue to refer our brides, and friends to MDM. THanks so much for everything. – Anastacio and Yola L

Everything was perfect!!! You are the best Mike! Rich and I want to thank YOU for being so wonderful! Everyone loved you! Rich's sister is getting married next August so I am recommending you for her wedding! Hopefully I will see you again next August!! – Katie W

Mike - you were wonderful. We could not have asked for anything more. We have already received so many compliments on your service. Thank you for making our special day even more special. – Kathleen & Rich W

Brian and I just wanted to say thank you to Mike for the amazing job he did at our wedding. He kept our guests and ourselves on the dance floor and had everyone young and old having a wonderful time. We could not have asked for a better emcee and dj for our wedding! Mike, Everything about the Dj service was above our expectations. The music was perfect and we especially liked the few times you noticed a song not go over well and you ended it almost immediately and worked another song in seamlessly. Friends of ours young and old commented on how great the music was and that they haven't danced that much at a reception in a long time. Carol and I were so happy with the music, professionalism and everything about the DJ service. Thank you so much. – Carol & Brian C

Thank you SO much for making our wedding party such a huge success. I got so many comments from our guests about how awesome the music was, and how much fun they had in the photo booth. You and Zobes are awesome and we can't thank you enough. We'll be recommending to you to anyone and everyone we know in the future. Thanks again Mike! – Vicky and Dan W

Just wanted to thank you again for the outstanding job you did for us at our wedding reception! We received compliment after compliment about your performance, and about the music and the fact that you kept everyone dancing throughout the night!!! I know from experience that the wedding D.J./music can make or break a reception- we believe that your amazing work made our reception a success!! We would also like to thank you deeply for going above and beyond and dropping off some of our guests at the hotel. That was an incredibly nice gesture, and extremely considerate of you!We are leaving for Mexico tomorrow morning, and when we return we will ABSOLUTEY share on your website of how extremely satisfied we were of your services! Mike, I would recommend you to any of my friends and/or relatives in a heartbeat. In fact, I have a couple of friends who are getting married next year and I will definitely recommend you! Thanks again, Mike.... excellent job! – Mr. & Mrs. Anthony H

It was perfect! I have recieved numerous comments on how well Mike did. Everyone loved the music. I even had one request for the night's playlist for their wedding! – Justin and Christine W

Mike D you were a great DJ and made our reception that much better. We had such a great evening and you made it even more special by playing all of that great music. We had a pretty consistent packed dance floor the whole night!! We will definitely recommend your company to others needing a DJ. Thanks again!! – Michael and Ashlee T

Just wanted to tell you we had the BEST time on Saturday!!! We loved everything you did and had SO many compliments about you. It was absolutely perfect!!! Saturday was the best day of my life and I thank you so much for your part in that. Please feel free to give my name and email out for references in the future. I loved your attention to detail and especially your comment about Josh that he loves the 80s dance moves - that was great that you remembered that I told you that is the only way he knows how to dance, and I'm sure you clearly observed it Saturday night as well! I hope you also had a great time w/us! Thanks again, Mike! – Jill and Josh M

Thank you once again for helping make the wedding so near perfect. We had an awesome time...and of course I just couldn't stop dancing. My Dad even had to comment on your utmost professionalism. We got so many compliments about everything in general, but quite a few on the dance and the dj. Mike is a true artist at what he does. Being a musician, I understand how important the musical aspect is to any event. Our wedding reception was as close to perfect as you can get and the music/dance had a big part in that. I would recommend MDM Entertainment to anyone and for any event. – Anne Marie and Dan

Ben and I were very happy with Mike and the wonderful job he did. Our guests had a really good time and many complimented us on our DJ! Thanks!!! – Ben and Pearl H

Mike was excellent- both in helping to plan the event, as well as at the event itself. He kept the reception on track and upbeat. Both my husband I have been raving about Mike since the wedding. – Sean and Kathy G

"I wanted to thank you for doing such a fabulous job at Peter's and my wedding. Everyone commented on how great the music was and I was so thrilled the dancing didn't stop to the very end. Thanks again, Mike! I'll be sure to recommend you!! – Denise and Peter M

Mike did a great job. We had several guests say that he was the best DJ they've ever seen. We definitely agree. Everyone danced the whole night (all age ranges) and we thought the whole night was a blast. – Julie and Scott

Mike is a great D.J.! He played exactly what my guests wanted to hear and kept me and my guests out on the dance floor all night – Jodi P.
