Absolutely amazing!

I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT MARZ & HIS TEAM! I met Marz at a bridal expo January 2024 a couple weeks after getting engaged. I loved how he interacted with my family & me. I didn’t even have a wedding date yet but knew I wanted to book Marz. My sister & I posted pictures on social media & had a couple people reach out saying nothing but great things about Marz, which confirmed even more I wanted him for my wedding. When we found the venue we wanted for our wedding, I literally chose our wedding date based on dates that the venue & Charizma Entertainment were both available as I couldn’t have been more confident I wanted Charizma Entertainment as my DJ

I just got married this past Saturday. Marz had a huge surprise for us. Marz & Walt absolutely killed it, just like I knew they would. Our dance floor was never empty! I am so happy I chose Charizma Entertainment for my wedding & will always recommend them. Thank you Marz & Walt for helping make our wedding day as amazing as it was!

Charizma kept the Dance Floor Full!

CHARIZMA was the DJ for our wedding at the Chicago Cultural Center. They were fantastic. Walt and Jimmy kept the dance floor packed. They hyped up the crowd and made the evening one to remember. Prior to the wedding they did a call with the bride and room and reviewed the time line, music choices and made recommendations on how to make the evening flow smoother. They proposed an alternative timeline which we used and it worked out great. Marz, the main contact was very attentive, responsive and fun to deal with. We would definitely use Charizma for any other events requiring a DJ.

Best djs ever!

Couldn't receive anymore compliments for the music and entertainment at our wedding! Marz made our wedding the hit of all our friends and family. Our guests even requested their contacts for their own events.

Incredible Wedding DJ and MC!

Walt and Jimmy were amazing! They kept the Dance Floor pumping for the entire reception, and had the perfect blend of music. Both Walt and Jimmy were incredibly professional.

Walt reached out to us ahead of our wedding to get an idea of what we were looking for in regards to music to play. And then they were able to roll with it, and make our wedding such a fun event!

We definitely will be using Charizma again for all of our DJ needs, and highly recommend booking them for your our events! They will not disappoint!

November 2022 Wedding!

WOW.. Does Charizma deliver!!!!

After my sisters wedding in 2018, we knew when it was time for us to get married that we were hiring Charizma Entertainment. Marz has a true talent at reading the guests & grabbing their attention. He truly makes you feel special on your wedding day, and keeps his full attention on the happiness of you and your guest from start to finish. We have had so many compliments and questions about our DJ/MC.

Thank you Marz & Walt for helping make our special day one to remember !!

Insane energy!!!

From beginning to end, Marz never stopped interacting with the crowd at our wedding! He brings so much energy and life into a celebration, and my husband and I received so many compliments from our guests. Marz really strives to give his clients the best experience possible, and you will not be disappointed choosing him and his team as your DJ!

Marz made our wedding the party we wanted!!!

We were lucky to have DJ Marz with DJ Jimmy T for our large wedding at the Chicago Cultural Center in mid-March. If you want guests to have a great time at your wedding, look no more! Marz is hands down the best DJ in Chicago, and quite possibly the world. I have now seen him at three weddings (including ours), and he absolutely MAKES the event. Let me explain: he will keep everything running smoothly; he will engage the crowd in creative ways; and he will get people on the dance floor. Full stop. He has SO much energy, and it will hype up your guests - believe me, he had EVERYONE dancing. As a Type A person (read: anxious bride), he was extremely responsive, and the online music/event planner was intuitive and easy to use, allowing us to have all of our “must play” songs available on our celebration night. Stop reading this review and give Charizma a call!

So man compliments!

Absolutely 1,000% recommend Marz and his team! Music for our reception was always important to me, and we couldn't have had a better pick.
We got SO many compliments throughout the night on how great our two DJs were. They got everyone up on the dance floor (from 2 years to 82 year olds) and involved in the fun. They did an amazing job of keeping the energy up, picking great songs, and changing songs to match the vibe. Seriously, we cannot recommend them enough!! They made the night so perfect.

Just perfect

I cannot say enough on how impressed we were with Marz and his team. Just incredible. Every guest I spoke to throughout the night was raving at how much fun Marz was. Song selections were incredible.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

"I Do" Weddings with Rev. Phil Landers Wedding Officiants

They always work as a team -- an emceee and a DJ. Makes all the difference. They are incredible at getting the audience involved -- even during the normally slow parts just before dinner at the reception. One time, the father of the bride was giving his toast. As typically happens, he forgot to bring up his glass of champagne (to make a toast with at the end.) The emcee saw it and quietly got the glass and handed it to the dad -- without interrupting him or hardly being noticed. That shows a real dedication to making the evening go well -- not just their part of it. So easy to work with at the wedding ceremonies, too. Highly recommend.
