    The Perfect Wedding DJ Experience

    I want to take a minute to thank Amplified Events for making my wedding day so special and fun for all of my guests! Mike took every song on my playlist and added in a few more I hadn't thought of that were perfect additions to an already fire set list, sequenced everything so perfectly and gave the dance floor an energy that had everyone moving from the first song to the last dance. The photo booth was a huge hit and the pictures we have from it are now beautiful keepsakes and will serve as reminders of how much fun all of our guests had! The lighting on the floor was gorgeous and set the tone for a night of love, laughter, music, and dancing, and I cannot thank Amplified Events enough for helping everything run so smoothly and seamlessly. I highly recommend them!

    Electric dance floor

    The dance floor energy that Mike and Jeff create is truly unmatched. They have a real talent for knowing how to sequence your song requests, how much of a song to play, and how to read the room. Mike went above and beyond to help us create cuts of our first-dance song and mother-son song and even gave me the opportunity to pick my top priority songs for the last 30 min of the night from my requested songs that hadn't been played yet (which he had been diligently crossing off throughout the night). The price point is super reasonable and our guests could not stop raving about how it was the most packed wedding dance floor they ever experienced. We cannot recommend Amplified Events enough! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Mike and Jeff for the electric wedding dance floor of our dreams!!!

    Awesome DJ!

    Amplified Events knocked it out of the park. One of my main goals for my wedding was to have fun on the dance floor and Chris absolutely made that happen. We had so much fun, and all of our guest have told us how much fun they had too. I cannot recommend Amplified events enough, they are fantastic!

    Flexible, Responsive, & Fun!

    We worked directly with Mike on planning & DJ'ing our wedding at the Dunes Pavilion in Chesterton. Mike was incredibly easy to work with and flexible in our wedding planning. His planning app helped us to set our own timeline of events and coordinate each event. Two things really stood out about working with Amplified Events was the extent that Mike was able accommodate our desired flow and make last minute adjustments. Our outdoor ceremony was weather dependent and we had to make a last minute decision. Mike was easily able to accommodate an outdoor ceremony for us. During the remainder of the reception he kept a great flow of music going based on our initial playlists and kept all of our Philly area guests up to date on the Phillies scores. His DJ equipment is sleek and modern so it blends in super nicely with any venue and looks fresh and polished. Would 10/10 recommend working with Mike and his team.

    Great outdoor wedding celebration

    Couldn't ask for a better way to organize our special day then with music. Amplified Events knocked it out of the park meeting our needs from our ceremony to our wedding party entries to our first and last dances. Thanks Mike for working with us for what we needed to fit our unique celebration. Highly recommend them for your next event.

    Highly Recommend!!

    We absolutely loved having Mike as our DJ/MC for our wedding! Mike had great communication and was helpful throughout the planning process. He was great at transitioning between songs and kept people out on the dance floor all night! Mike has the best energy and we highly recommend him!!
    We also booked our Photo Booth through Amplified Events and it was a big hit at our wedding! We loved the options their Photo Booth offers and how they made sure we received a copy of all pictures taken throughout the night!

    Amplified Events is the way to go!

    I will be recommending Amplified Events, specifically Mike Kane, to everyone! Mike was our wedding DJ and he was so so great! We had multiple consultations to go over everything we wanted and he fulfilled every single wish at a VERY reasonable price! The music and lighting was absolutely gorgeous. Mike was also so accommodating the day of - bringing me and my husband water and letting me use his portable fan because it was so hot out! He helped move the ceremony chairs so we could get pictures started right away. He was just phenomenal. Our wedding was absolutely perfect and Amplified Events played a huge role in that! I cannot say thank you enough!!!!

    Great DJ for our wedding

    We used Amplified Events for our wedding in Valpo yesterday. Our DJ Jon was super helpful and very easy to work with on making the playlist. He played all of our main requests and kept the flow of the wedding going with his announcements. 5 stars!

    The best dj ever!

    Mike is INCREDIBLE. I am a photographer and let me tell you I am picky as heck. I had two issues with two DJs prior to going with Mike. Mike fixed all those issues and made sure I felt comfortable. He even included a surprise for me the day of to make up for my horrid experience with other DJs. Music is such an important part of my day and Mike made mixes for me and helped with his program which is unbelievably easy to add songs to! I honestly have never met a nicer and more professional DJ. He's so fun and so communicative. He had everyone on the floor all night and didn't guilt me for wanting the songs I want. If you want the best DJ NWI has to offer you NEED MIKE. The best of the best. 100/10.

    Best dj in all of chicagoland!

    DJ Mike was simply the best. He was so easy to work with throughout the whole planning process and was very attentive to our needs. Him and Joey did such a great job keeping the party going and played all our favorite songs. From the music to the photo booth and uplighting, everything was so beautiful and better than we ever imagined. I could not recommend Amplified Events enough!

    Great DJ to have for your wedding!

    Mike was great since we booked him! He was always professional, personable, and quick to respond. At our wedding reception, I have never seen a dance floor more energetic. Very happy to have him for our wedding!

    Outstanding!

    Kyle was so great! Could not recommend more. Extremely helpful and flexible. We got the photo booth and our guests LOVED it, so many fun memories captured. Our venue had a big blank wall so we got the monogram projected on it and it could not have been more beautiful. It really added that personal touch to our day. Such a big thank you to Amplified Events for making our day!

    Jeff EXCEEDED Expectations!!!

    Multiple people came up to me to tell us our DJ, Jeff from Amplified Events, was the best DJ they’d ever had. I gave Jeff creative freedom for dance floor music and he killed it, we were thrilled with the quality of his song choices! The Photo Booth was super unique and cool as well! 11/10 exceeded expectations, and I hope I never get married again, but I would happily hire Jeff if I did 😂

    DJs with a personal touch

    Can not recommend Mike and his team MORE. My wife and I were struggling to find a DJ that we felt connected with us and the experience we wanted to have for our wedding. To be honest, there are a lot of big heads in the DJ world, but Mike was extremely warm, open, and easy to talk to leading up to the day, always pressing that it was our moment and he was there to support our vision more than anything, and that was just the planning phase! Day of, Mike was easy going and quick witted, keeping the music flowing and the people dancing. He even picked up on subtle inside jokes between my wife in I during our ceremony that he brought back into the reception giving it even more of an "us" vibe. Honestly can't say enough about how great he was. 10/10.

    Great experience with young and exciting energy

    Chris absolutely killed it on 9/5/2022. Amplified events isn’t a typical boring wedding DJ. They use state of the art equipment and provided great sounding music and awesome backlighting to the dance floor. Chris listened to all specific requests and really ran the whole night since we did not have a wedding planner. Thanks Chris!

    Book them now!

    Amplified events went above and beyond to make our day special. This team had amazing response rates for my questions and always got back to me in a timely manner. We had a mix of old and young at our wedding and apart from the songs that we chose on VIBO they were able to find great tracks to play to keep everyone on the dance floor. I recommended them for a friends wedding. They helped make our day very special and memorable.

    Awesome DJ, was very professional and helpful, and made wedding day very special

    Mike and his team did an amazing job at our wedding!! We would recommend Amplified Events to anyone looking for DJ/ Videography services! He went above and beyond our expectations, and we couldn’t have asked for a better crew to make our special day memorable! He was very professional, and helped guide us through any questions or concerns we had.

    Amazing Experience

    Mike and his team at Amplified were so helpful in planning and executing an amazing ceremony and reception. The music was perfect and kept the entire wedding crew dancing all night long. They were super-accomodating for any special requests and made the night so easy for us. We cannot recommend Mike/Amplified enough if you are looking to have a great reception that people are raving about for years to come!

    Amazing DJ, great company!

    I couldn't have been more happy with Jon and his assistant from Amplified Events! We're not big dancers, and we had a morning/day wedding, so we didn't want a dance party. Also, our music tastes really aren't your typical pop/dance songs (I specifically put some of the more popular songs I've heard at weddings on the no-play list). At the same time, I didn't want guests to be bored, and I knew some of them would like to have dancing, so I was a bit worried about how things would turn out. Jon did an amazing job at selecting songs for the entire day based on the limited list I gave him for "must play" and "play if possible." He played some songs I hadn't heard in years but that used to be some of my favorites (I was super excited about that!), and he played songs that fit our genres and that also got people dancing. Everything was perfect, everyone had a great time, and Jon was a big part of bringing it all together! Finally, we had to delay our wedding twice because of covid. We're grateful to Mike Kane for being so accommodating and making the rescheduling as stress-free as was possible given the circumstances!

    Awesome! Highly recommend!

    Jeff was our DJ and he was AWESOME! He communicated with me prior to the event to assure things would run smoothly. Amplified Events uses a cool music platform to allow you to pick out songs to fit your occasion. Amplified Events stepped up at the last minute when the previous DJ was not able to do the event. It went extremely well!
