Excellent service!

I am so happy that my wedding planner suggested Top Hat Productions. We had so much fun!! He played the best music and had everyone dancing all night. We had a smaller wedding so I wasn't sure if people would dance, but EVERYONE was dancing! We had a generational mix of guests and he played music that everyone could enjoy. Everything went so smooth and we couldn't have been happier with our choice. He was flexible and overall did an excellent job. Bridal Party introductions were so much fun and speeches went so smooth as well. I can't say enough about our experience! I even had guests comment on how great our music selection was, I couldn't take any of the credit. It was all Top Hat Productions!

Best Wedding DJ

Mark was an absolute pleasure to work with when we hired him to DJ our wedding reception. Having a great dancefloor was a priority for us and Mark was instrumental in making that happen. We received so many compliments about how no one left the dance floor because the music was so great. Don't overthink it, hire Mark for an epic wedding night!

Best DJ ever!

Mark was by far the easiest vendor we dealt with during the whole wedding planning process which was a huge relief..I booked Mark based on reviews alone and we were definitely not disappointed! He kept the dance floor busy and going throughout our entire reception...he even. If you're looking for an awesome DJ then I would definitely recommend Top Hat Productions!

Are you interested?

AMAZING-- Would highly recommend to anyone in the market!

I can't say enough positive things! Mark was amazing to work with and was so flexible! He listened to what our style was, but we also just kind of let Mark read the room and play what people were enjoying! All of our friends complimented the music and loved it! I can't say enough good things! Strongly recommend!

Absolutely amazing!

Mark was an AMAZING addition to our wedding vendors. He was personable and easy going which made me, as a bride to be, feel very much relaxed. Just from a short phone conversation, Mark was able to get a feel for the music my husband and I wanted. The planning process went very smooth and the night of our reception, Mark proved to be professional, flexible, and just overall easy to work with. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about him. All positive vibes here. Would HIGHLY recommend!

Best experience

I wanted to share a review, and thank you for your professionalism and excellent service. I appreciate your quick responses to every question and email, your professionalism with setting everything up, and being prepared every step of the way. I had multiple guests rave about the music, sound, and how well you transitioned every phase of the night, especially at the reception. Thank you for making our special day, even more special. I will recommend your service to anyone that mentions they are getting married!!!!
Thank you,
Jason & Stephanie

Great experience!!!

Mark did an amazing job Dj'ing our wedding this past February! He helped us stay on track for the evening without us having to worry about a thing. He played great songs and was more than willing to play requests. We had a full dance floor because of how well he started the dancing that evening by asking everyone to join the married couple. We would absolutely recommend anyone to check out Top Hat Productions!

The MVP of our venders

Mark was wonderful to work with. He was very flexible with how we structured the music and ceremony. He was easy to get in touch with and promptly returned messages. We received countless compliments at our wedding about "how good the music was!" and more noticeably how everyone was out dancing. I literally cannot think of a single thing I would have changed about how he MC'd and DJ'd the reception.

If you’re looking for a wedding DJ, look no further.

Top Hat productions exceeded our expectations for a wedding DJ! Great to work with, responded quickly with any questions or concerns! He came the day before to our reception location and set up and even played a couple of songs our nephew wanted to hear, which our family loved! Can’t say enough good things about him! He even went the extra mile and recorded himself pronouncing our bridal party so when the time came every name introduced was completely perfect! Also, sent us dancing pictures from the amazing night! If you’re looking for a DJ, Top Hat Productions will not disappoint! Thank you again for giving us such an amazing service!

The. Best.

Mark was nothing but amazing! I knew of Mark when I was in my best friends wedding a year prior and she had Mark as her DJ. After her reception, I told her, when I get married, he’ll be my DJ! A year later, here we were having Mark as my DJ! He helped me out with the ceremony and the reception! He played amazing music and even stuck to my “do-not-play-list” :) Everyone was on the dance floor ALL NIGHT!

He was fantastic!

Mark is amazing! I hired him for my first daughter's wedding reception 6 years ago. And when my second daughter got engaged and we needed a DJ, I didn't hesitate to call him again to hire him for her wedding also. We got so many compliments from our guests of how great he was, and he really kept the dance floor hopping with his music choices. He is so professional and meets with the bride and groom to get a feel of what kind of music they want. If you are looking for a DJ, don't hesitate to hire Mark! I recommend him 110% and give him 5 stars. We are so glad we hired him a second time! You will love him!!

Wedding MC

Mark is a talented professional who made our wedding a night everyone will remember. Multiple guests commented on how much they enjoyed the MC/DJ. We would tell anyone who is getting married to book Mark ASAP. We can’t sing his praises enough. Mark even took the time to take pictures and capture special memories on the dance floor. He sent us pictures. I one else could have captured. He cares about his clients and is so easy to work with.

Absolutely awesome DJ!

Oh my gosh, Mark with Top Hat productions was the absolute best! Firstly, Mark was incredibly easy to work with. He was easy to reach by phone or email, and always very prompt. He was genuinely excited to talk about the services that he could provide us, and my husband and I knew talking with him after our initial phone consultation that he was our guy. Secondly, Mark exceeded our expectations on our wedding day! The sound system, the uplighting, his professionalism while announcing, the music choices, getting the dance floor going, etc - everything was awesome! One of our biggest hopes for our wedding was a poppin’ dance floor with lots of guests movin’ and groovin’ - and let me tell you, Mark helped us achieve exactly that! Not to sound cheesy, but it was a dream come true.
Mark is the best, and we couldn’t be more grateful! We tip our hats to you :-)

Mark from Top Hat Productions was our DJ for our ceremony and reception. He was easy to work with and was very professional throughout the whole process.

Best dj ever!

Mark from Top Hat Productions was the DJ for our wedding in Peoria on 3•23•19 and we couldn't have been happier with his service! Mark was super easy and pleasant to work with and truly knows music! My husband and I, along with all of our guests had an amazing time with all of the music that was played from start to finish of our reception. We got so many compliments from our guests on what great music we had at our wedding! Mark is fabulous at reading a crowd and feeling out what music should be played. He also did some additional uplighting for us that went perfect with our wedding colors and truly helped tie the ballroom and all the decor together, while still making great lighting for pictures! Another thing to note is that after our photographer left at the end of the reception, Mark went out and took a ton of pictures on his camera of everyone dancing and uploaded them to a shareable album for us!!! That was such a nice surprise that we definitely weren't expecting! His prices are very fair and you can tell he genuinely loves what he does! We cannot say enough great things about Top Hat Productions and highly, HIGHLY recommend using him for your wedding or special event!!! Thank you again so very much, Top Hat Productions for making our reception such an outstanding time with all of our friends and family!!! ❤️

Completely exceeded expectations

Mark goes above and beyond. He did everything in his power to make our wedding weekend run smoothly and stress free for us. He’s totally laid back, goes with the flow and takes charge on everything you would hope a DJ would and more. He is accommodating, professional, friendly and fun. Excellent communication skills. He kept our party going until 11:30pm and people still weren’t ready to leave the dance floor. He’s a great guy and knows what he’s doing!!! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a wedding DJ. My sister used him, then I used him, and now my cousin is using him for her wedding coming up. Everybody loves Mark!! :)

Awesome DJ!

Absolutely wonderful! Mark is very organized and easy to work with. The music was great all night long. He even mixed up two songs for one of the dances as we couldn't decide which song to use. I would highly recommend him. He also did our ceremony music and it went great!

Top Hat Productions

Mark was phenomenal! Communication is absolutely not an issue with him. He was such a key asset to my winter wedding last weekend. He always had a suggestion when I wasn’t sure what to do next. You really feel as if Mark is truly there to make everyone is having a great time. He stayed involved with the guests all night. Plus, he even comes with his camera to take extra shots to reminisce on! It was also a stress relief that he stopped by the rehearsal to prepare for the next day to make sure everything was in order. I had numerous guests make comments that they enjoyed the DJ and even the venue made a comment about Mark being one of their favorite. Overall, we just enjoyed our time with Mark and would definitely recommend him ☺️🎤

Best DJ Around

Mark is amazing! He definitely knows how to read your crowd. Our dance floor/whole pavillion was packed all night. He gave many suggestions and was almost my reception coordinator. He came to our rehearsal to make sure he was prepared for the next day. He takes pictures of the reception for you. Such a nice guy! Would recommend him to anyone!!

Top Hat DJ was one of the BEST decisions that we made for our wedding. Mark clearly cares SO much about what the couple wants and how good of a time you have. He works so hard to make your day perfect. He met with us to find out what kind of music we like, how to pronounce everyone's names, songs we want, etc. He also went above and beyond with included uplights (and cheap prices for additionals) and giving us photos he took at the reception for free! ALSO, he was so great at moderating the flow of our reception by judging how our guests were feeling and periodic checkins with us. AAAND i had so many guests tell me unsolicited how great our dj was.
12/10. loved him.

Mark at Top Hat Productions exceeded my expectations! Here are some of the many ways he is the best choice for a DJ:
1. Gets your guests out and dancing! I think this takes a lot of skill on the part of a DJ, and he knew just which songs to play at the right time to keep everyone having a really fun time.
2. Extremely organized--we were both on the same page about the order of the night
3. Makes announcements when needed, but doesn't let it get in the way of the dancing/dinner
4. Overall great quality sound and choice of songs
5. The night was extremely fluid, and I attribute that to Mark. He made me feel at ease about the order of the reception (ie cake cutting, speeches, dances, etc.) which made the day stress-free for me!
6. He knew exactly what type of uplighting to recommend and make the venue (Metamora Fields) look stunning.

I couldn't recommend him more!

Mark is a true professional. He is classy and kind, and knows how to read an audience and keep the dance floor hopping. So many people commented on how awesome his song selection was - across generations, everyone enjoyed!! He also arranged a great slide show our guests really enjoyed, and he helped coordinate a family flash mob that was so fun. I highly recommend Top Hat. He made our daughter’s wedding both elegant and FUN FUN FUN! Highly recommend!

Mark did my daughters wedding 8 months ago. The biggest compliment I can give is that every person we run into brings up the reception and the DJ and how fun he made the night. Everything he did from the early planning to the day itself were excellent.

Mark went above and beyond to make our wedding reception amazing. The music flowed all evening, with a perfect mix of classic oldies and current popular songs. He managed to keep our guests of all ages on the dance floor which is exactly what we wanted! Mark also created slideshows of photos that played throughout the evening and all of our guest raved about how fun it was to look at old photos! Thank you Mark for your amazing work and dedication to making our reception a night we will never forget!!

Mark from TopHat Productions did an absolutely amazing job DJing our New Years Eve wedding! We could not be happier with the service he provided! Our guests had a great time and were on the dance floor all night! Mark is extremely professional, quick to respond, and he really seems to love what he's doing! He has a huge selection of songs as well as music videos, great lighting options, and very nice screens/projectors for pictures/videos. We would highly recommend Mark with TopHat Productions for any wedding or event! Thanks for making our wedding reception so perfect, Mark!!! :)

Mark made my wedding night a 10/10. He met with us a couple times (plus phone calls) to make sure everything was going to be perfect! The transition between the ceremony/reception took longer than we expected and Mark took care of all the guests until we were ready for our bridal party entrance. Such a relief. He will play any songs you request (and not request). Thank you Mark!

Mark was amazing! We were planning our wedding from a couple hours away and he took time to talk to us over the phone whenever we needed and was always available by email. He is the by far best DJ in the area! Our dance floor was full the entire night and our guests loved the variety in music. People were exhausted from dancing at the end of the night. You can tell how much passion Mark has for his job just by speaking with him and in his attitude throughout the entire process. He worked really well with our photographer and videographer, and made announcements throughout the night to keep our reception on track and keep our photobooth line full as well. He created a slideshow to play during dinner and sent us a copy after the wedding so we would be able to keep it. We would HIGHLY recommend Top Hat Productions!

Mark was a great DJ for my wedding!!! He played all the perfect songs, put together an amazing slideshow for our guest to watch during the reception and was even out on the dance floor taking pictures. Something not many DJs would do. He went above and beyond my expectations and I would recommend him to anyone looking for DJ services :)

We used Top Hat for our wedding in September and were so impressed! Mark was super flexible about music and was willing to work with a request list we gave him, as well as his own stuff. He was cool working with a do-not-play list, as well as guest requests. Lots of people commented on the music and the dance floor was always crowded- there was never a song that people couldn’t dance to.

Mark was very professional and worked well with the other vendors. He was great at working with the timeline we set and was a fantastic MC. He even came out for the rehearsal to run through the music, which was so incredibly nice of him. The quality of the equipment he brought was great- no random feedback or poor quality sound- and the volume was always comfortable!

Overall, we highly recommend Top Hat!

We absolutely LOVED having Mark as our DJ! He was so quick to respond to any emails, and very accommodating when it came to us sitting down to talk with him. Our wedding guests commented not only on how fun the music was during the dancing, but also how great it was during dinner and not just the typical wedding reception songs you hear. Mark also took photos during our reception and they are so much fun to look at. It captures a side of the wedding you don't always get. It's so awesome to see so many of our wedding guests out on the dance floor in candid moments. We would absolutely book him again in a heartbeat and recommend Top Hat Productions to anyone getting married! Such a great experience.

Mark wasn't amazing! I would recommend him to anyone! He was so reasonable and worth every penny. Looking at other dj's, he is actually pretty cheap especially since he brings his uplights! Also loved that he took fun dancing pictures and sent them to us! Overall, very passionate and an amazing person to work with!

Mark was INCREDIBLE!!! He was unbelievably easy to work with, by responding to calls/ e-mails quickly, being flexible with meeting times, filling our request, and going up + beyond to make our special day perfect! He does so much more than to be expected of a DJ, by taking amazing pictures of our dance floor, playing photo slide shows, playing music videos, and so much more! He is the best DJ ever!

We can’t say enough to thank Mark for his services! He’s professional and organized, making sure that no detail was overlooked, no matter how small. I really appreciated that he came to the rehearsal the evening before and was so collaborative with our venue to ensure that everything would run smoothly. We had complete confidence in him, knowing that we could trust that he had everything covered. Mark also has a genuinely friendly and laid back attitude, and we truly came to think of him as a friend throughout the planning process. We miss you already!

Mark was amazing to work with for our daughter's wedding! He not only provided great music for the reception but gave great ideas on best room set up, put together great slide shows of the couple, was a fantastic MC for the evening and just all around was a joy to work with. His flexibility, idea sharing and great song mix was awesome. Many of our guests raved about the great job he did!

Mark was hands down the most professional, organized and detail oriented vendor we worked with for our wedding. He takes his job very seriously and that really came across as we met with him. Once we gave him the list of our bridal party, we worked out a time to call and he made sure he correctly pronounced everyone's name well ahead of even the rehearsal dinner (which impressed me). He was very relaxed and easy to work with, and worked out our wedding itinerary as well. This doesn't even begin to cover his services as a DJ mind you.

Mark provided the sound system for our ceremony and reception both, and both went perfectly. He was able to read the crowd and keep the party going all night. In short, I could not recommend him more.

Mark went above and beyond to ensure our reception went smoothly! He did an excellent job keeping our guests updated and moving our reception along seamlessly. During the planning process, Mark was willing to meet with us more than once, recorded himself pronouncing the names of our wedding party so they'd be pronounced correctly, and did a great job incorporating my husband and I's "must play" songs throughout the night. Mark showed up early to set up, came professionally dressed, and worked professionally with the other reception vendors. Not only did he provide great music for dinner and dancing, but he created a slideshow with photos of my husband and I, and once the dancing began he played music videos as an added bonus! He provided all of his own equipment (including mics), and also came with dance floor lighting and beautiful uplights for the room. One of the best parts was that he took photos of everyone dancing throughout the night! We can't say thank you enough to Mark for making our reception the night of our dreams, and according to many of our guests, the most fun wedding reception they've ever attended!

Mark was the one and only DJ we reviewed for our wedding. We had heard from several friends that he was the best and after our meeting with him, we had to look no further! Mark kept everyone out on the dance-floor. We had so many people say, "I have never seen so many people dance the entire reception." It's because of Mark's thorough knowledge of music and ability to make everyone feel like part of the party! We had slideshows throughout our dances and Mark eased all of our concerns - executing each one perfectly. He even helped us create the slideshows and they were truly such a wonderful personal touch to our reception. Mark is kind, helpful, professional and accommodating. Simply the best!!

Mark was awesome! We would highly recommend him to anyone that is looking for a great DJ. We had a lot of random requests (soloist during ceremony, slideshow, etc), and he made it all happen without batting an eye. When you have a wedding, you need someone who knows the right questions to ask when preparing so they think of all of the things you didn’t on your wedding day. Mark did just that and kept both our ceremony and reception flowing smoothly, and the dance floor was always full. Thanks Mark! Would hire you again in a heartbeat! I don't normally take time to write reviews but you earned it!

Mark from Top Hat Productions is an absolute treasure of the Peoria area wedding scene. Me and my wife interviewed him after he came highly recommended to us from other couples we knew who got married. As soon as we met him we knew that he was the DJ that we wanted to use. And with ever interaction that initial feeling was proved to be more and more correct.

As a DJ he is increadibly knowledgeable about music, both older and newer. He knew all the group's and songs that we wanted and offered great suggestions based on what we liked. He is very easy to work with while planning and he returns emails promptly, which we all know is unusual in the wedding industry.

He has amazing equipment including uplighting and mood lighting. He offered amazing suggestions like using my venues projectors to play music videos of the songs playing. This turned out to be a hit at my reception.

Everyone at my reception kept asking about our DJ and complimenting how great he was. We were glad to pass along his information to all the interested parties.

Trust me, if you hire Mark you will have one less thing to worry about in your long list of wedding planning worries. He is simply amazing and I am very glad to have met him.

Mark was excellent! He was professional, well organized and great to work with. He took care of all of our requests between providing music and microphones for the ceremony, making necessary announcements during the reception and of course played great music that we and all of our guests enjoyed the entire evening. We would recommend him to anyone looking for DJ services for weddings and other events.

Mark has wonderful communication skills, and is quick to get back to you with any questions you may have. He even took many pictures though out the night of the event and sent them to us.

We booked Top Hat for our daughter's wedding and couldn't have been happier with the job Mark did. He accommodated all of our daughter's requests and others. The dance floor was busy all night which made for a truly fun night for everyone. Mark was recommended not only by our planner, but by one of our daughter's co-workers who had
hired him for her wedding. We highly recommend him to you! Jody and John

Mark was amazing from the get-go. After attending a wedding that he DJ'ed, I knew that he needed to be there on our wedding day to provide an amazing reception. We actually picked our wedding date specifically that he was available for. First vendor booked! Mark was so helpful, professional and extremely personable. He took the time to ask what we were looking for and even helped us find a venue after our original booked venue got cancelled.
He helped out with planning, coordinating and had us truly plan the day of our dreams. I would recommend Mark to anyone.
Mark is so down-to-earth, and in tune with his audience. He listened to every detail we shared and made it a reality on our wedding day.
He was hands down the best vendor we could have asked for. Couldn't recommend more highly! Thanks again, Mark!!

Top Hat Productions is awesome!!! Mark was so fun and easy to work with! We were very particular with the music we wanted to play at our reception and he was completely on board. He spent so much time talking with us and making sure we were comfortable with the music. He let us give him a list of songs that were on our must play list-even though it was very extensive. He also did an excellent job "reading the room" and getting an idea of what guests liked. He also took time to learn how to pronounce each member of the bridal party's name. I so appreciated this! He is very very talented and I would highly recommend using Top Hot Productions!!

So happy with our experience with Mark at Top Hat Productions! We didn't have a huge guest list so I was worried about filling up the dance floor. Mark had the majority of our guests out there all night long! We loved the song choices and felt he really listened to us about the type of music we wanted to have. We had a few songs we requested for ceremony/first dance/intro that weren't exactly common songs but Mark had no problem getting them for us and using exactly the parts we wanted. He really helped make our night a fun, memorable experience and everyone wanted him to keep going at the end! He also takes some awesome pictures.. It was great to get those while waiting for our other photos to arrive!

The DJ will make or break your reception. Mark is the best. He has a reputation with other vendors as being the best as well, which says a lot. I got so many compliments during the reception and even days and weeks after. He came early to set up, made sure the lighting was just right, and kept the guests engaged and on the dance floor. Guests stayed longer because "he just kept playing great songs!" If he's not booked for your date, hire him!

If I ever need a DJ again in the future Top Hat Productions will be it! Mark is professional, friendly, and responsive. The uplighting made the space our own. Our guests really enjoyed our slideshow. Last, but not least, our favorite songs were on hand and ready. All an affordable price. You will not be disappointed!

It is evident from the first time meeting with him that he is passionate about making weddings as fun and beautiful as possible. We had so many compliments on the song choices of the evening and the gorgeous uplighting!! Plus, Mark took some fantastic photos of our wedding night for us! We got so much more than expected out of our DJ in the best way possible.

Mark called us before the wedding with a tape recorder to have us pronounce each member's name in our bridal party, and this level of care and professionalism continued through every moment of our wedding. When we offered him a loose tablecloth for his DJ station, he offered to use his own, because it better hid all of his cables at the DJ booth, and the resulting look was stunning and clean. He called to help us plan our reception, and he suggested great elements for it, like a huge couple's dance right after the traditional first dances, which puts everyone in the room on the dance floor right when the party begins. Mark arrived the day before the ceremony to set up his table, and then got the entire room dancing while we set up the reception hall, keeping us all happy and entertained a whole day before the wedding began. According to my wife, he is every stressed-out bride's dream for her wedding, because all we had to do was show up and enjoy ourselves and he took care of the rest! "He is the Sherlock Holmes of DJ's" were her exact words, because of his incredible intuition to the needs of the room, the flow of the night, and everything it takes to throw a great party!

Absolutely recommend! Mark was very easy to work with and made our wedding reception memorable. It was a large wedding and the dance floor was hopping all night long. We received many compliments from our guests on the DJ services. You simply can't find a better DJ and he's very reasonably priced. Mark ran the show and made my husband my evening stress free. I have many friends getting married in the next year and I hope to see Mark at many of these weddings. Thank you so much!!!

Top Hat Productions is an excellent company. They are professional, fun and excellent at what they do. They not only DJ for your event they will also take great photos. I would recommend them to anyone in the area. They know how to get people and keep people on the dance floor. Many of my guests complimented on how great he was at keeping people on the dance floor. He made our reception awesome!

DJ Top Hat did a lovely job at our wedding! I thoroughly enjoyed working with him. He was very prompt in following up, offered great suggestions while making sure my ideas were taken into consideration, and his outgoing personality made him a joy to work with! He worked hard to research our wedding venue in placing up-lights and effectively planned out the reception events and music selection. During the reception, he took point in overseeing its direction and worked wonderfully with the other staff. We loved the CD of photos he'd taken and sent us and were amazed at how quickly it arrived! Thank you DJ Top Hat for lending us your talents in making our wedding special :)

Mark provided a very good price for all that he offered. He helped us with the sound system at our outdoor ceremony. He played awesome music during the casual part of the reception. We had a dance party all the way to the end of the night. He played a lot of the music that we asked for and even some other better options. He was good at determining how the crowd would feel and what the mood was. He was flexible to meet prior to the event and if we needed him at the rehearsal he would come to help prepare. He was a very sweet guy and we had a lot of great reviews from our guests about the music! We also appreciated that few lights that he placed around our venue to give it a little added touch when the sun went down. It was so beautiful and fun!

Top Hat Productions was awesome! He is so flexible and easy going. He provides so many services for the price! He made our wedding reception perfect! There wasn't a time that no one was on the dance floor! We did not provide him with a list of songs because we trusted he would keep everyone on the dance floor and that's what we wanted. He took pictures at the reception which was awesome! I would hands down recommend Top Hat Production to anyone!

We had such a blast working with Mark!! We had a pretty good sized reception with people ranging from their 80s to their teens and younger and at some point in the night every single one of our guests hit the dance floor. In fact, Mark knew exactly what to play to keep the dance floor full and rocking allllll night long! There was never a moment when people werent out on the floor dancing the night away, pretty impressive for 6 straight hours! I also loved that he snaps pictures all night long, an added bonus to an already amazing service! He has a great eye for lighting the room and makes sure all the details of the room really pop! Meeting with Mark and planning with him was also so easy. He is super responsive and very flexible! I lived out of town during most of the planning process and the week leading up to our wedding I was out of town for work and Mark was always available via phone and email. Meeting with him in person was great too, he met us at our venue and set up lights etc to show us exactly what our venues would look like the night of our reception. I would recommend Mark to any and all brides in the Peoria, IL area!! Such an amazing service and such an affordable option!

My husband Nick and I LOVED working with Mark McIntire from Top Hat Productions. I looked on Wedding Wire to get some recommendations for a DJ in the area where we were getting married. As I was looking through pictures on his Facebook, I realized I knew some people who had him as their DJ at their weddings so I contacted some of them to get another opinion. They had nothing but great things to say about Mark so I contacted him right away--it was a good thing I did because he was filling up for the month we wanted. We booked him right away. Throughout the planning process, Mark was very supportive and went above and beyond our expectations. The first time we met with him, he showed us tons and tons of pictures from different venues. We had no clue what venue to use so it was very helpful to get some ideas and see some of the places decorated for wedding receptions. He gave us a reception planner to fill out for the next time we met and also offered to make a wedding slideshow for us.He emailed many times throughout the months of planning to check-in and ask if we needed anything. Once we chose a venue, he met us there one night to talk about room set-up. Mark also brought some of his uplights to show us different colors and options to fit the room. He offered some suggestions for tables and dance floor set-up which really helped us make a plan.A few weeks before the wedding, he wanted to meet again to run through the tentative plan. He went through the reception planner with us and recorded himself pronouncing names to make sure he said everything correct. He did such a great job the night of the reception keeping us on a timeline that evening. He took all of our pictures (over 250) and created an awesome wedding slideshow and wedding logo with our names. We had also collected a very long list of songs and Mark accommodated the requests. We got so many compliments on our DJ and Nick and I couldn't have been happier with Mark from Top Hat Productions.

Let me start by saying that there are no words to say how awesome Mark was. His business is top notch and the best service we could have ever asked for. Mark is responsive to e-mails, works hard to make sure your day is perfect, and is super professional. He played the best music at our reception and read the crowd so that everyone stayed on the dance floor all night. He even showed up for our rehearsal to play music so that we could practice to the music. He created a slideshow of pictures for us and provided uplighting as well. His prices are super reasonable and he is fantastic to work with. We can't thank him enough for the perfect night!

Mark is fabulous! I could not have asked for a better DJ to host our wedding and make our reception unforgettable. He provided us with up-lighting, a decal, video board, music, and takes photo and video of the dancing of you and your guests! He is worth the value and I still have guests asking me for his information for their next big event. I would recommend him to anyone. He is sure to stay up to date with the couple, and iron out any details you might be worried about. For our wedding, he even came the night before all the way to Galesburg just to make sure everything was prepared for Saturday and so that I would be able to see it before the reception. He is very flexible and has all the equipment to throw you a wonderful wedding reception. Thanks again, Mark!

It was a pleasure working with Mark. He was very responsive and flexible when it came to any questions or accommodations. Mark went out of his way to put together a slideshow to play during the cocktail hour and dinner at our wedding. The music was excellent and had the dance floor packed all night until the last song. Furthermore, the uplighting was beautiful. Mark brought extra lights and filled them in whenever he could. We received many compliments on his service(s).

Mark did an awesome job at our wedding! He was so nice and easy to work with. He really knows how to read the crowd and keep the party going! I had so many people tell me that they had so much fun and danced all night long- which is exactly what we wanted! He also did an excellent job of keeping the night flowing through all the formalities. The photo booth was great as well! So many fun background options- and provides a fun guestbook of all the photos. Mark even takes extra photos of the reception as well. We can't thank Top Hat enough!!

Top Hat was amazing! He is so easy to work with and listens to all of your requests. He knows how to get the party started and keep everyone on the dance floor. We cannot express how happy we are with him and all our guests had the best time every! We also loved how he took pictures of everything before guests arrives and throughout the night!!!

My husband and I cannot say enough good things about Mark and Top Hat Productions! The whole evening was perfect and Mark delivered everything we asked for and more in terms of music, lighting, and entertainment. We had multiple people tell us how wonderful the DJ was and we had more than one set of couples ask for his information so they could book him for their own upcoming weddings. Mark is so professional and you can tell he loves what he does. He even took pictures of the reception and captured memories that our photographer missed after he left. He truly made our reception a dream come true and we can't thank him enough!!

Mark was amazing!!! We couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our wedding. He was easy to work with from day one and was so knowledgable about the business. He tailored the event to exactly what we asked for/wanted. He gave suggestions when we were contemplating decisions and played awesome music all night long!! I would recommend Mark in a heartbeat! He was more than amazing! He also captured some of my favorite pictures of the night and the up lighting he did made the place look beautiful!!

Mark was absolutely wonderful to work with. He genuinely cared about our wedding being all about us and tailored the music to match our style, while tastefully incorporating our guests' requests! He also provided quality uplighting for us at a very reasonable price-something that can be hard to find in this area! We would definitely recommend Top Hat Productions to other couples!

I couldn't have pictured a better DJ for our wedding! Mark knows how to keep the party going all night long and does an excellent job of getting all guests on the dance floor!! The uplights he provides changes the entire mood of the reception and the fact that he captures the best dancing pictures makes for a great laugh for reminiscing!! Don't think twice about booking your wedding or event with Top Hat Productions! Mark is a great guy to work with and books up fast!

Mark from Top Hat Productions went above and beyond to make our wedding reception spectacular. He bought songs for us that he didn't have already; he met us at our reception hall a few weeks beforehand to show us our different uplighting options in person; he confirmed the rundown of our reception multiple times to make sure we were satisfied; he even put together some slideshows for us the night before our wedding...all without blinking an eye. The quality of customer service he provides is hard to come by these days. His prices were far cheaper than other DJs and the personal attention he devoted toward us made us feel extra special. I highly recommend going through Top Hat for your next event...Mark is the kind of guy to whom you want to give good business!

Mark did a fantastic job with our wedding. It was clear that he is very experienced and can quickly pick up on what people want, while being very flexible with the couple. His love for his job made him very enthusiastic and easy to work with. We were also very happy with the pictures he took during the reception, as well as the uplighting he did for us. Mark's pictures on the dance floor throughout the night were very unique in that he captures different angles and stays the whole night, when the photographer is no longer around, and we are very grateful he was there to capture these memories with professional quality.

Mark was absolutely fantastic to work with! People were dancing all night thanks to him. He also took charge and kept everything organized from the time he introduced us at the reception up until the end of the night. The lighting he provided was fantastic, exactly what we described to him and he was very flexible to work with. We couldn't have had a better DJ for our wedding.

Top Hat Productions was great! I didn't worry a bit about the music and that was great because with wedding planning there are enough things to worry about. He did a fantastic job of keeping the reception going smoothly and was very flexible. I had many comments from guests about how well the DJ did and about the quality of the sound. I would say he was affordable and offers the best deal for the very best quality in the area. I would recommend him to anyone who has an upcoming event. Thanks for doing such a great job and making my wedding reception a blast!

I feel like my heart could explode with gratitude for everything Mark did to make our wedding reception unforgettable. From music, to slideshows, to uplighting, to the photo booth, to the music videos....every aspect of his work was amazing and we can't thank him enough. My sister and I both used Top Hat Productions for our weddings in the past year and we agree that more life events should be DJ'ed so we can hire Top Hat again and again!! ;)
