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

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! ;)

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!

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!

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.

My husband and I were recently married and Patti and her team created a gorgeous lighting design for the wedding. We were trying to create a feeling of being indoors and having it feel as though we were outdoors. Working with Patti to create this look was so easy. She understood what we wanted right away.
They were able to create a branch pattern wash all throughout the room and on the walls and with a combination of pin spots and highlighting key moments with lighting washes, the room was just stunning!
They also integrated Cafe lighting into the feature boxwood walls we had installed and

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

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

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.

Used this company for DJ, lighting, backdrop and photobooth for my wedding.
This company was worth every penny!!!!! I love that they are a one stop shop and lowered the number of vendors that I had to deal with for the wedding.
Patti is great with communication. She explained everything clearly with the online process on planning a timeline to the prices for the services that they offered. We got sent reminders for when payment or finalization of our items.
Brian was our DJ. Very professional and he took into account what we wanted in terms of music at our reception. He also used very good judgment

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

We used MDM for lighting, DJ, photo booth and ceremony audio services for our wedding at the Adler Planetarium. It was great to get all these services through one extremely professional company and it made wedding planning that much more efficient.

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!

It's been nearly two weeks since our wedding now, and we still can't stop talking about how much fun the night was, and how much fun our guests had! The MDM team played a huge role in that - specifically Patti, DJ Aumir and Sigi.
Our wedding was really diverse - I'm half Indian and my wife is of Chinese descent. We had people here from all over the world, all ages. And they all had an amazing time on the dance floor.
Let's start with Patti and team. Planning/Music/Sound was something that we definitely put to the back burner as we had lots of other cultural fusion events to

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

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
