    Hire dj dudley d! You wont regret it!

    Dustin, aka DJ Dudley D is hands down the best DJ we could have asked for! 10000/10000 stars!

    He is a master at mixing all sorts of songs and genres, keeps your dance floor PACKED, and when issues out of his control arise, he solves them without you knowing, keeping your day stress free! He was the easiest vendor to work with and top-tier at communication.

    Our wedding venue's speakers broke and while the venue did absolutely nothing to remedy the situation (didn't have backup speakers, wouldn't send out emergency support, admitted their speakers were on their last leg... the list goes on) Dustin had a solid backup plan. He was professional and kept his cool. We didn't know about any of the issues he faced until after the wedding!

    Dustin is worth more than he charges and you will not regret hiring him! He'll make custom first-dance and grand march songs for you, and is truly an artist at mixing songs. There's a reason Prince hired him as his DJ!

    GenerationNOW Entertainment's reply:

    Dustin enjoyed himself immensely. You and your guests were an absolute blast! EPIC Day. Thank you for the kind review

    Can't recommend enough!

    Anthony was incredble as our wedding DJ. The dance floor was full from start to finish and he was also a great MC

    GenerationNOW Entertainment's reply:

    Thanks for taking the time to praise Anthony. He had an absolute blast. Your crew was ready to get down and they did!

    DJ Mad Mardigan

    DJ Mad Mardigan recently DJ'd our wedding, and I couldn't have been more thrilled with the decision. Aside from his amazing talent, he was also extremely professional beginning with the planning process, through to the last song of the night. He set up multiple meetings to make sure that my husband and I got exactly what we wanted and he provided all of the equipment, making set-up seamless.

    The absolute best part about the whole thing was Nick's ability to read the crowd and keep the energy all night long. Transitions between songs were flawless, and the dance floor was packed from start to finish. We didn't have a single lull- just a constant flow of a mix of old and new music that kept all of my guests excited.

    After the wedding, both my husband and I received several texts from friends and family members saying how impressed they were with the music (a few sore from dancing LOL). Thanks to DJ Mad Mardigan- it was an unforgettable party. If you're looking for a DJ who can elevate your wedding or event and keep the crowd interested, look no further!

    GenerationNOW Entertainment's reply:

    Sounds like it was a tremendous wedding experience. DJ Mad Mardigan is one of the best to ever do it. Thank you Josie. We wish you and your husband years of joy :)

    BEST decision of the wedding was choosing GenNow!

    Choosing GenerationNow DJs was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! We knew we wanted to have a great reception and throw the party of a lifetime and with GenNOW and DJ Mad Mardigan we got exactly that! Communication during the entire process with both Tim and Nick was smooth and prompt. Nick, "DJ Mad Mardigan" fully brought our vision to life and we have been hearing from friends and family daily since the wedding that it was the best DJ they have ever seen at a wedding! Nick worked with us on how we wanted music structured throughout the day, put all our favorites in the dance just at the right time, and kept the dance floor full ALL evening long! We are huge Timberwolves fans and we truly felt like we had our own personal wolves game at our wedding! If we had to do our wedding over again we would 100% choose GenNow and Nick again!

    GenerationNOW Entertainment's reply:

    What. A.Party! So much fun and thank you for trusting in our services leading up to your day and the day of. You have a special group of friends and family. We'll see you at Target Center soon :)

    10/10 Generation Now is incredible!

    I am a wedding planner in Minnesota and we just wrapped up another incredible wedding with Gen Now! My couple chose 'DJ Dudley D' for their wedding and he delivered an amazing party! My couple chose to use Gen Now for all of our music/sound needs from the ceremony, social hour and reception. He was detailed and helpful leading up to the wedding and was great about being flexible with us on the timeline as we were adjusting the schedule to account for weather on the wedding day. I always recommend Generation Now to my clients and DJ Dudley D is a great example as to why! They are the best!

    GenerationNOW Entertainment's reply:

    Thank you for the kind words, Jaci :)
    Dudley loves a good challenge and adjusting on the fly is one of his super powers. We love partnering with you. Excited for the next one!

    Absolutely top-notch!

    We can say numerous great things about GenerationNOW Entertainment and DJ Mickey - what a duo!

    To start the communication with Tim of GenerationNOW and DJ Mickey was exceptional. They were professional and highly responsive from the initial planning stages to the actual event.

    On the day of the event, there was an error regarding the date and time of the event, made on our behalf (NOT made by GenerationNOW). We quickly emailed Tim of GenerationNOW Entertainment, and his response to the matter and confidence in providing a solution was in a matter of minutes! We were relieved and beyond grateful for their willingness to accommodate the special request and make an on-the-spot adjustment.

    What truly sets GenerationNOW Entertainment apart from any other entertainment company is its flexibility and commitment to excellence.

    DJ Mickey demonstrated an impeccable sense of timing, seamlessly blending upbeat tracks during the high-energy moments and more relaxed, melodic tunes during the quieter, contemplative parts of the event. This dynamic range kept our Members engaged and entertained throughout the evening.

    The highlight of the evening was when DJ Mickey seamlessly mixed in some golf-themed tracks and sound bites, adding a playful and personalized touch to the event. Talk about custom and creative flair!

    All this to be said, DJ Mickey's performance was nothing short of spectacular. He managed to create a vibrant, engaging, and memorable atmosphere that elevated the entire evening for our Members.
    His talent, professionalism, and outstanding communication were evident in every beat, making them an essential part of the event's success. I would highly recommend GenerationNOW Entertainment, especially DJ Mickey, for any event looking to blend sophistication with a lively, engaging vibe. Absolutely top-notch!

    We can't wait to plan another event with GenerationNOW Entertainment and DJ Mickey!

    Wonderfull DJ!!

    GenerationNOW was a wonderful company to work with from start to finish! We had an initial call with Tim who helped us narrow down what package we would like and from there met with our DJ, Matt, who did a phenomenal job at incorporating a mix of music we loved from slow dances to lots of Taylor Swift for us Swifties to the club music after 9pm! We also added on the ceremony package which was great! Highly recommend GenerationNOW for your wedding reception :)

    GenerationNOW Entertainment's reply:

    Jess!

    Thank you so much for the review! Matt is a superstar and your celebration was top-notch. We are happy to be a part of it!

    Congratulations once again!

    Hire GenNow!!

    I can not express how amazing our wedding was because of GenNow. They were so professional from the beginning. Tim walked us through the options, met with us in person before the wedding, and the whole crew gave us the epic dance party we were hoping for. We used DJ Mad Mardigan for our DJ and we also used Daniel, a violinist through GenNow, for our ceremony music and it was absolutely beautiful. Daniel is extremely talented and he brought my exact vision of my ceremony to life.
    DJ Mad Mardigan is truly the best there is. Multiple guests raved about his skills and how the dance floor was packed the entire night! I highly recommend GenNow! Not only for weddings, but any event that you may need to provide music. Our wedding was so memorable because of them!

    GenerationNOW Entertainment's reply:

    Wedding of the year!! Thank you Liz and Josh for the review. It was a pleasure to be a small part of your day and sounds like everyone had a great time. WE SURE DID. All the best to you both :)

    Hire generation now for your wedding!

    Generation NOW was AWESOME! Everyone at our wedding kept telling us how great the DJ was and asking who they were. Even our photographer wanted their info so she could recommend them to others who are getting married. We had DJ Mad Mardigan (Nick) and he treated us like family, yet stayed professional. He made sure that everything we wanted for the reception got done the way we wanted, and that everyone had a great time dancing and celebrating. Their equipment was high quality, and they were great as getting people on the dance floor and keeping them there. There wasn't a minute of our wedding reception that wasn't fun and it's mostly thanks to Generation NOW and DJ Mad Mardigan!!! We highly recommend them for any event and they were worth every penny. Thank you so much for making our night one to remember and for making us feel so special.

    GenerationNOW Entertainment's reply:

    We appreciate you taking the time to write this review...we are blushing :)
    It's a tremendous compliment to Nick and his talents. A night where guests got lost in the music and the dance floor was poppin. It was our pleasure :)

    Our reception was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING and a huge part of that was because of Nick's incredible DJ skills!!! He made the night. We met with him ahead of time to go over what we had in our mind and he delivered on everything we talked about! We asked for a combination of old and new music to play the entire night so that all generations would feel welcome on the dance floor the whole time. And...the dance floor was packed with family and friends of all ages (just what we wanted)!!! My entire dancing family LOVED the music and I literally only left the dance floor once...I could have stayed there forever!! Hiring a good DJ was our number one priority for our wedding. We feel extremely lucky that we got the best one in town!

    Also, Tim (the VP of Marketing and Events) made the entire process very easy. He was always very quick to respond to any of our questions, he made everything very clear, and he was great to work with!

    We wanted our wedding dance to feel more like a night club than a traditional dance, and GenerationNOW was a perfect fit for that. We had Ryan and he was awesome! He kept people on the dance floor all night long and he was so workable with all our requests. We gave him a general idea of the songs we were looking for him to play and he absolutely nailed it! The screen in the background playing the coordinating music videos was a perfect touch and he transitioned from song-to-song at just the right time to keep everyone interested. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ, the experience was exactly what we were looking for.

    I had GenerationNOW Entertainment (specifically DJ Mad Mardigan) DJ my wedding, two hours north of the Twin Cities in a tented reception. While GenerationNow is more expensive than the traditional "wedding" DJ, they are worth every penny! The thought of having some college kid play the same generic wedding songs that you hear at every wedding, made me sick. And I don't want to have to write a list of every song I want to hear. I wanted my wedding reception to be like a good night out. You go to the club and you spend the whole night on the dancefloor because everything the DJ is playing kicks butt! And that is exactly what DJ Mad Maridgan did! We met once, he got my style, and he rocked us all night long. This is a company that knows how to spin RECORDS and actually MIX songs. If you want a real party, they are company for you.

    We had Ryan at our wedding and also had him perform at our ceremony. I had a very difficult time finding someone to perform for our ceremony and once I meet with GenerationNow it was a breath of fresh air!! We had them booked as our DJ for the night and then they mentioned that Ryan could perform as well and it was amazing. He sang whatever songs we asked him to and even performed our first dance song live for us!!! This was definitely the highlight of my day! The music on the dance floor was always great and we never had an empty floor. Ryan helped us stay on track during reception as well, queing us for dinner, toasts and dances. The whole team was great to work with throughout the whole planning processes, very nice and professional team
