Chicago Mobile DJs

We got married in May 2015 and hired Marcus to DJ the event. My wife and I had the chance to see Chicago Mobile DJ’s twice before and we liked what we saw. Unfortunately, Marcus doesn’t know how to handle any unforeseen issues that might come up and then makes you feel like your a difficult person to deal with even though it was our wedding! Marcus had a «issue so he could not DJ our wedding, which thank God for Eagle Ridge Resort and Megan who handled the mix up for Marcus. As, we were never notified of any issues until I called Marcus two days after my wedding! Chicago Mobile DJ missed our ceremony AND WE HAD TO PAY OUR VENUE $ 90 to handle the issue for Marcus. As of 10÷14÷15 we have had no reimbursement from Marcus. I had to call him two days after our wedding to find out what happened. Again no reimbursement from Marcus!!. Chicago Mobile DJ did have a replacement DJ there for our reception and he did the best he could under the circumstances. My wife and I were not happy with Marcus as he didn’t catch up his replacement to speed on our requests. I’ve been trying to deal with this situation with Marcus since May 25^th 2015 and last spoke to him August 7 2015 and left the ball in his court for some sort of resolution to the problem. HE HAS NOT RESPONDED AS OF YET ITS OCTOBER 14 2015. Marcus is a good DJ and has a good product, but definitely doesn’t practice good business skills. If nothing comes up on your wedding day your good to go with Marcus, BUT beware if something does go wrong don’t expect much from Marcus and Chicago Mobile DJ’s!!!

Marcus was absolutely incredible! Not only did he play an assortment of music to our liking and taste, he had dance lights that helped to light up the dance floor, he was helpful before and throughout the wedding, and he caught all the pictures the photographer missed. We only had one photographer, so Marcus took it upon himself to take over 700 pictures (all of which he had posted to FB the next morning) including the super special moment of me getting ready to walk down the aisle with my dad.
Marcus was always available to talk beforehand if I needed too and insisted we talked everything through about a week prior. He is informed whenever you login to his website, and he will reach out just in case you have any questions. He was also great at stepping into action and giving direction when needed.
He really likes to be involved in your special day, and gets just about as excited as you are. Marcus was definitely the right choice for us!

Marcus is a GREAT DJ and MC! Right from the beginning when I first contacted him, we talked for a very long time and he seemed like a great fit for our wedding. Throughout the planning process Marcus checked to see if he need help with anything or if we had questions. He helped plan the schedule of the reception and gave very good advice and recommendations based on his experiences. The day of our wedding, Marcus was on time, very professional and made sure things ran smoothly. I asked him to play our ceremony music too and he made things run perfectly, without having to be reminded of anything! During the reception he was always checking to see if I was ready for the next planned thing and even brought us drinks a couple times. He also did our up lighting and it stayed on the entire night! All of my guests mentioned to me that they loved what a great job Marcus did and my girlfriends are using them for their upcoming weddings! If you want a great DJ & MC that will leave you worry free, Marcus is your guys! I highly recommend him!

Marcus dj’d our wedding in June and we’re really glad he did. Talking with him ahead of the wedding put me at ease, I knew we were in good hands. Marcus asks questions ahead of time so he knows your musical tastes. He also has an online system where you can lay everything out and choose songs– it was really easy to use and so helpful! The day of our wedding, Marcus helped keep us on schedule throughout the night, letting us know when it was time to cut the cake, give the speeches, toss the bouquet, etc. The dance floor was hopping all night long. Most of our musical requests were accommodated. Everyone had a great time and that was most important to us. Great job, Marcus!

Fantastic! Marcus was fantastic! He was the contact person, coordinator and basically in charge of all things music on the day of my sister’s wedding. I was the contact person, coordinator and basically person in charge of all things wedding for my sister’s wedding, so I recognize greatness when I see it.
Marcus and I only had some brief interactions before the wedding day. Surprisingly, Chicago Mobile DJ’s were the chosen ones and it happened to be the one appointment that I couldn’t make it to. I’m so glad that Catherine and Steve chose them!
Marcus was professional in his e-​mails. He was helpful with ideas during the planning phase and even at the very end when on the fly decisions needed to be made, he knew what the bride and groom wanted and made it happen.
There was a hiccup. But I don’t know who it belongs to, so I can only mention it and suggest that you keep this in mind when planning and coordinating even though this may not have been Chicago Mobile DJ’s doing. The photographer was relying on the DJ to keep him aware of exactly when everything was going to happen. The first dance took place before dinner. We learned at the end of dinner that the photographer didn’t know that was going to happen and the special photography equipment for that occasion wasn’t ready to go because he didn’t know that was happening then. Long story short… they basically had to re-​do their first dance. They chose another song and it was fine, but it just added to the lag time before guests could dance. Again, not sure where the breakdown was and it may not have been Marcus at all, but it’s a good thing to think about when coordinating your own wedding or special event.
Marcus kept the party going right up until the very end. He was personable and funny without being cocky or condescending. I liked him a lot. I would absolutely choose Chicago Mobile DJ’s again for a future event.

Best DJ’s ever! Listened to what we wanted and then played that and much more! Kept everyone at the wedding dancing all night long! Guests from the wedding next door came over to our wedding because we were having so much fun! And the ceremony music they recommended and worked with me to pick was the best ever (in my opinion as well as what many guests told me!)

Good communication however Marcus decided to tell me at my reception that he couldn’t find our first dance song which I had posted on his website at least 1 month prior to our wedding. If he had only let us know before hand we could have sent him the song. Very disappointing!
