Midwest is best!

My wedding would not have happened without Elevated Events. They literally brought the party. Expertly tailored lighting for our reception tent. Gorgeous back drop for our photo booth and props catered to our personalities. Beautiful decor for both our ceremony and reception. Not to mention a DJ that complemented our band and guests vibe!

They truly are professionals. They thought of things I never would have and answered most questions before I even had them. They are prompt in their responses. They also provided me with so many resources and tips on how to make our day, the best day - I owe my stress free, perfect day to them!

Decorations and Photo Booth Fun

Elevated Events did a fabulous job decorating our reception and running our photo booth! Kourtney, the client relations manager, was attentive and answered all of my questions. We got uplighting throughout the reception space to keep the vibes intimate with soft lighting. It was perfect since our venue mainly had windows along the perimeter. Kourtney offered several options to customize our photo booth and our guests loved that they got several copies. We ended up getting a boxwood wall through them and they hung up our neon sign with our last name. My husband and I adored looking through the photo booth scrapbook, which doubled as our guest book. We greatly appreciate their professionalism and attention to detail.

DJ Service

Zero complaints!! Elevated Events did an amazing job DJ’ing our wedding reception. Our DJ, David, was incredibly personable and fun while also being professional. The communication leading up to our wedding day was impressive and we loved working with this company - you can definitely tell they know what they’re doing! David did a perfect job with announcements, going with the vibe of the crowd, and keeping the dance floor going all night. We also had dance floor lighting provided by Elevated Events and loved it! Would recommend to anyone looking for a DJ service :)

Wonderful experience hiring Elevated Events to DJ our wedding

We hired Elevated Events to DJ our wedding at the Morton Arboretum. The entire team was very organized, professional, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. Kourtney managed the entire process excellently and our DJ Marco kept everyone on the dance floor for 3 hours. He took the song ideas we provided and did an excellent job drawing from them, such that our guests said that it was just a non-stop rotation of bangers. The whole thing felt like an excellent value, and we were very pleased.

Soo happy!

We are SO HAPPY that we booked Elevated Events for our wedding! Kourtney was extremely helpful when booking and with answering all of our questions leading up to the day, and our DJ Chris totally killed it! He did a phenomenal job creating the exact vibe we wanted with the music, and the dance floor was full all night. We got a ton of compliments from our guests on the DJ 😁 He created the party we envisioned, and I would highly recommend others to book Elevated Events!

Will recommend to everyone we know!

Kourtney was such an amazing help to my husband and I during our entire planning process! She made all of the decision making easy and was so quick to respond to all of our messages. We made so many changes and added so many pieces to our wedding up until the week before the wedding and she made it all happen exactly as we envisioned it! Patrick was our DJ and was so helpful during the planning of the schedule for the evening and helped us move things along as scheduled. He really read our vibe and made sure the music was as close to perfect as possible throughout the entire night! Overall, an amazing experience and while we won’t be planning another wedding any time soon… we will recommend to everyone we know!!

Outstanding DJ and Company

We highly recommend working with Elevated Events if they are available for your wedding day. Kourtney and Marco were excellent to work with and helped contribute to what was the best evening that we could have asked for.

Kourtney was so well organized and prepared. She had a comprehensive and easy to follow agenda of items to discuss ahead of the wedding to ensure everyone was on the same page.

Marco, our DJ, was phenomenal at our wedding. Each of our song requests were played, and his choice of songs aligned with the kind of reception we wanted. We smile ear to ear knowing how many of our guests enjoyed the evening.

Wonderful!

We had a wonderful experience working with Elevated Events for our wedding and would absolutely recommend them! When I first reached out nearly two years ago to inquire about draping at our venue (Ravisloe Country Club), Kourtney was super helpful and answered all of my questions over both phone and email. Elevated Events had previously completed ceiling and entrance draping at our venue, so I was able to see pictures and fully visualize how the reception room would look on our wedding day. On the day of our wedding, the draping looked incredible and it felt like we stepped into a fairytale. The team did such a wonderful job and all of our guests were so impressed with how beautiful the room looked with the draping! Thank you Elevated Events!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
