Lauren Sent on 10/24/2024Such a great experience!
John was phenomenal to work with! We were blown away by the fact that while looking for DJs, John actually has you come to his home where he has his complete set up in his garage! For events you get to taste food before booking and tour a venue before booking so it was just a great feeling to get to experience how he would be as a DJ! We knew right then and there John would be an incredible addition to our wedding. The dance floor stayed packed all night and he made everything seamless to work with! -

I could not express how AMAZING John was. I am so happy we booked him for our wedding! He was so fun and read the room perfectly to switch up the songs when needed. He made our wedding night a night to remember! Helpful with things not even in his job description! When I say the best out there, I am serious. I could not thank him enough for everything he did for us. Book him now!! -

When we said we wanted a 4 hour dancefloor, people looked at us like we were crazy... But John delivered! Our dancefloor was full from the first dance through to the closing song. John did an amazing job mixing in our "must play" songs with other music that got the dancefloor going! He crushed it! -

John did amazing and guided us through everything during our planning process. He was attentive, kind, helpful, and fun during the whole time. He made sure to check in to see what we needed & even gave us great recommendations for our wedding. He went above and beyond to ensure our experience made us feel special! Mike was our DJ and people were on the dance floor the ENTIRE night. Everyone commented how amazing he did and how he kept the party going! For sure use them if you want your wedding to be a blast! -

Grace Sent on 03/10/2024AMAZING! Highly recommend
All I can say is WOW! John went above and beyond to make our wedding day so so special, he is so attentive, so professional and SO MUCH FUN!!! Our dance floor was packed all night all thanks to him! Aside from being an amazing DJ, he also took the responsibility to be somewhat of a “day of coordinator” by taking on tasks such as making sure our bridal party was on point for their walkouts, speeches, etc. I would highly recommend him, as I already have to all of our newly engaged friends and will continue to do so. Every single one of our guests went out of their way to mention how great of a DJ we had. He is easy to work with, and will accommodate your wants and needs, whatever they may be! 12/10! -

Vivian Sent on 07/18/2023All our guests said this was the BEST wedding they have ever attended!
When our daughter said she was going to marry the love of her life, we, her parents, wanted the very best we could offer to celebrate this day. Our cousin, Niko, suggested John Marcopoulos and Fantastic DJs as he knew they were the best in the business and was he RIGHT! From the very first invitation John extended to see his entire system setup at his home, to the consistent communication via email, text, and phone calls, John walked with us to the Wedding Day. John asked for every detail imaginable from song choices to the pronunciation of each attendant’s names and the all-important order of events. He kept offering information based on a great deal of experience as he has been doing this for about 30 years for hundreds of weddings. Experience trumps everything and his crazy suggestion to get the entire room of guests up on the dancefloor right after the Grand Entrance and BEFORE dinner seemed impossible but garnered kudos from EVERYONE saying this was the best wedding they had ever attended. Do yourselves a favor, John Marcopoulos and his company have done a myriad of weddings (Greek and others as well). He knows how to read his audience. His well-trained voice is smooth and yet the energy he creates with the order of song choices is phenomenal. He is one of a kind and can make your wedding just that as well. -

Theodora Sent on 04/05/2022Incredible!
John was such an amazing DJ!! He took the time to help us select the best music, read the crowd, and was so flexible when working with us. He made sure that we weren't concerned about our music at all and has SUCH an amazing selection. We also loved that he had an extensive Greek music selection, since that was important to us. Our wedding had been moved due to COVID, and he was willing to work with us to make sure that we had the best day. We couldn't have pulled it off without John and are so thankful that he was part of our big celebration day! -

DJ John! In the last three years, my now-wife and I have attended almost 15 weddings, none of which had DJ's that compare in the way of music or presentation to DJ John Marcopulos. From day one, DJ John's attention to detail and concern for our individual needs stood out from all of the other vendors and DJ's we'd met with about emceeing our wedding. DJ John showed a genuine understanding of the atmosphere we were trying to create, and he had a physical setup that complimented our vision and which no other DJ we met with could hold a candle to. DJ John's knowledge of crowd favorites, and his understanding of generational music varieties, assured us he would be able to read the dancefloor and keep everyone from toddlers to grandparents engaged and entertained throughout the night. John helped us craft a custom playlist that accentuated each of our personalities while paying homage to the classics of our parents' generation, and he never hesitated to meet with us as we navigated the ever-changing environment throughout this tumultuous pandemic. Never before have my wife or I been compelled to compliment the music at our friends' weddings, BUT since our wedding day we've received an outpouring of praise and requests for DJ John's contact information from dozens of our wedding guests!!! Throughout our special night, John kept the dance floor alive and made sure our wedding was the once-in-a-lifetime event my wife truly deserved. I can't thank DJ John enough for his support and attention to detail, and I would recommend him in a heartbeat - HANDS DOWN - as the only DJ you should consider for your future wedding. If DJ John is unavailable, you need to reschedule, he's that good! Thank you so much John, and congratulations to all the future brides and grooms who go with DJ John on their special night!

DJ John - you are like family to us now - OPA! WE LOVE YOU!

Brides need to book John as their DJ for their special day. He listens and over delivers! 10/10. He made our day special and kept people on the dance floor. He listened to our requests and made me feel special. He heard our vision and made it a reality. His personality, professionalism, and price he takes into his work shoes how passionate he is about YOUR special day. I can not recommend him enough. Brides will NOT be disappointed. Book him while you can! We can’t say thank you enough. -

Stephanie Sent on 07/28/2020Amazing Experience!
If you find yourself searching for an outstanding DJ look no further than John Marcopulos of Fantastic DJs! My now husband and I hired him as our DJ for our wedding and he was AWESOME! He really does deserve all the positive reviews he receives and picking him as my wedding DJ was one of the best decisions I made when planning my wedding. He really knows how to get the crowd going and keep people on the dance floor all night. He also helped us with the schedule and timing for our reception that night and made sure things ran smoothly and on time. I also really appreciated being able to meet with him and see his set up prior to our big day. He was also very communicative with me throughout the months leading up to the wedding to touch base on all the details of what we had discussed. If I ever need a DJ for another large event in my future I will 1000% hire him again! Seriously... I can't emphasize enough how awesome he is! -

Cindy Sent on 10/28/2013As the mother of the bride, I did not have as much contact with our DJ prior to the event, but I did speak with him a couple of times AND I met with John, the owner, months ago prior to signing a contract and paying a deposit. My daughter and I were both excited and thrilled to hire this company after our meeting with John (which was very casual as we stood outside in an outdoor mall courtyard). These guys KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING!!! I am a VERY detail oriented person, and my daughter did not fall far from that tree :) "I know what I want, and I want what I want" and John listened first, asked questions second and then told us how we can "kick it up a notch" with his ideas . . . TAKE HIS IDEAS!!! I could tell immediately that his experience in wedding reception music is "tried and true" and would give us exactly what we wanted, which was a dance floor full of our friends and family having fun all night.
I could not have been more happy with the end result. We (the bride and groom, and myself) did not need to micro-manage this part of the day AT ALL. The B&G spoke with Nick (our FANTASTIC DJ!!!) a few times, filled out his questionnaire in advance with "please play" songs and "please do not play" songs and Nick took it from there.
Nick was set up and ready to go, dressed professionally, the booth was completely covered in the front with black fabric (this was important to me - no advertisements showing) and music was playing when we arrived. The dance floor was full THE ENTIRE NIGHT. Guests were asking me, "Who made your playlist? The music is great!!" -

Kristy Sent on 09/26/2013From the start of our planning, it was very important to us that we had a FANTASTIC DJ. We met with John on a week night, he was very accommodating, fun, and we knew he would be the best fit for us and our requests and booked with him before we even left his studio. Not only did Kevin and I have a great time on the dance floor, but the dance floor was crowded from start to finish!!
The best part was when Kevin and I were announced and as soon as we walked onto the dance floor, John changed the music, invited all of our guests to the dance floor to get the party started early!!!! WHAT A HIT!!!!! Everyone and I mean EVERYONE was up dancing!!!! What a great way to get the evening started!!!!
Our wedding was 2 weeks ago and I am still getting messages/emails about how great the mix of music was and how much fun dancing before dinner was so much fun!!!!!
John, Thank you so much for making our night so memorable!!
Kevin & Kristy

Kathy Sent on 04/25/2013We would like to express our appreciation on the incredible job you did John as DJ at our Wedding. The music was fantastic and you played all the songs we requested. We couldn’t have asked for a more professional fun filled DJ. We had many comments from our guests, young and the not so young, on the quality of your DJ service. Our guests had a wonderful time and we believe that a large part of that was thanks to your selection of music. Thank you so much for helping us make our special day (and night) a time to remember with incredible memories. -

Kimberly Sent on 06/13/2012Nick was absolutely fabulous. He took the time to make sure he played exactly what we wanted. He definitely went above and beyond to make our wedding great! He joked and talked with the wedding guest and made sure everyone had a great time! We couldn't have asked for a better DJ! -

Vanessa Sent on 04/11/2012When we first met with Fantasic DJs we were already leaning towards another company. However, John was so outgoing, friendly and professional we quickly new that Fantasic DJs was the company for us. Sadly we loved John but he wasn't able to be our DJ. At first I was disappointed. However, John promised us that Nick would be perfect. All I can say it that Nick was better than pefect. He was professional, organized and on top of everything. Our dance floor was packed all night. We kept receiving comments from guests that the DJ knew just the right songs to play. Another guest told me that they didn't even need to request songs because he planned everything they wanted to hear. A close family friend who has worked as a wedding DJ for over 10 years told us that Nick was the best DJ he has ever seen. My brother is getting married next March. His fiance deceided after seeing Nick's work that she wanted to book him right away. Nick handled everything and helped reduce our stress. He knew the photographer who the parents were. The best part of Nick is he loves his job and really cares that your wedding is perfect. Thank you Nick for making our wedding day amazing. -

Brittney Sent on 11/18/2011The first thing that any new bride should look for is the DJ. he's the personality and the life of the party, and if any bride that lives in the Glen Ellyn area of Illinois, they need to book John from Fantastic DJ's because he was simply amazing! He knew how to get everyone up and dancing and continued the vibe throughout the night and needless to say the dancefloor was NEVER without a sea of people (and i barely had 70 guests at my wedding! EVERYBODY was out there! Even my husbands great grandmother who was in a walker! so that definitely has to say something about the atmosphere!) Consulting was spot on and there was nothing left untouched. Once again a huge thank you to John and his wonderful skills. Wouldnt have been the same without you! -

Mary Sent on 08/14/2011Fantastic DJs really lives up to its name. From our first meeting with John and our assigned DJ Nick, we knew these were the guys for us. Nick did not disappoint. His was very easy to work with pre-wedding and made it a point to get to know us and what we really wanted at our reception. Very professional, learned how to pronounce all of the names of the bridal party which I particularly appreciated. Nick made the entire evening run smoothly, keeping everything flowing. Our reception was definitely fantastic!!! Everyone loved Nick and commented on what an awesome DJ he was and how great the music was. It was a blast, dance floor packed right up until midnight! People loved the Greek dancing and the whole night just went off flawlessly. The entire evening was exactly what Brian and I were hoping for, and Nick was a huge part of that. Thanks Nick, John and Fantastic DJs!! -

Caroline Sent on 05/03/2011John did an amazing job at our wedding. He was great at reading the crowd and also keeping the bridal party and us informed as to what was coming next. Our dance floor was literally full before AND after dinner. Loved it! We could not have chose a better DJ!
Thank you so much John, for making our wedding perfect.
