    Amazing Experience with MM and DJ Chris

    Marymonica was excellent throughout the whole planning process. She was very responsive to all of our requests and answered our questions timely. The pricing was very reasonable and I thought it was a great value for the amazing service we received. Specifically, we had DJ Chris Kidd. He was incredible. We provided a "do not play" list and a list of inspiration songs, and he really nailed it. We received a lot of compliments on how great the music was, and I don't think there was one song played where I wanted to leave the dance floor. Would highly recommend DJ Chris and Marymonica to any bride or groom planning their wedding!

    Don't Look Any Further!

    We LOVE MaryMonica and the talented DJ Chris! MaryMonica is the very wonderful and understanding president of MaryMonica Music & Entertainment, Inc. We were like many couples, being impacted by the pandemic and needing to reschedule… three times.

    MaryMonica was our point of contact as we ventured through the unknown territory of planning a wedding through COVID. She truly is committed to making sure her clients are able to have the day they envision for entertainment! I can’t express my gratitude to how kind and flexible she was as we changed dates quickly and made sure we got our favorite DJ Chris to be part of this big day! We hope one day we can meet in person to truly express our gratitude.

    Our DJ was Chris! He met in person as well as had a conference call to get to know me and my fiancé as a couple as well as understand what sort of vibe we wanted for the evening. We really appreciated the random texts we would send in the off-work hours, in the evenings or on the weekends, where we never felt like a bother. Rather, you could feel DJ Chris’ enthusiasm and excitement to work with us and provide us with his expert feedback! Through the evening, I would often use his DJ booth as a place to catch a breath and regroup :)he is a calming presence in a very whirl-winded day! I would wholeheartedly recommend DJ Chris. You will not regret having him be part of your wedding dream team!

    We hired Chris from Mary Monica to DJ our wedding a couple of months back. Music was a TOP THREE priority for me on our wedding day – I feel like it has the single biggest impact on the mood in the room and it was so important to me that we had a full dancefloor all night long. Chris came highly recommended by our amazing wedding planner but even her glowing recommendation didn’t prepare me for how incredible he was! He played all the songs I had put on my “must play” list at the perfect time and was able to read the room to deliver exactly the kind of song we needed whether it was a slow song to catch our breaths or a showstopper to get the room pumped up. If I could give anyone a recommendation that will have the single biggest impact on the vibe of their wedding, it would be to hire Chris. Highly recommend!

    We could not be happier with the service we received with MaryMonica Music, Inc. They were very responsive to our inquiries and showed an enthusiasm that we did not find with other companies. Mary Monica provided us a list of DJs to choose from, and when we were having trouble deciding which one would be best for us, she asked us to describe our vision of the night and types of music we would like. Upon hearing our vision, she immediately recommended DJ Chaz, who ended up being the perfect DJ for us. He was punctual, professional and really captured the mood we were going for. He checked in with us regularly to make sure we were following our timeline and kept the party going from the start of the night until the very end. We received many compliments from our guests about how great he was and how much everyone loved the music. We can't say enough good things about DJ Chaz.

    MaryMonica Music was recommended to us by our wedding coordinator for our May 2013 wedding. She suggested DJ Chris by name (he plays her holiday party every year), so we trusted her personal experience with the DJ and the company. We met MM once at our coordinator's studio, but didn't feel the need to have a face-to-face with DJ Chris prior to the wedding - we just sent our list of songs and music tastes. And then the wedding day came... The first "win" for DJ Chris was the first group dance song of the night. My best friend and Man of Honor mentioned in his speech that our friendship began over the lyrics to "I've Had the Time of my Life", and he buttoned his toast with another reference to the song. When the first group dancing song came on, it was "I've Had the Time of my Life" - my best friend, my husband and I had an incredibly special moment on the dance floor before being joined by the rest of the guests. DJ Chris had been listening.

    Once the dance floor opened, it was packed until they kicked us out. Our music styles are a little old school - I like 50's and 60's R&R, which doesn't exactly lend itself to dance parties beyond Sock Hops and Socials. But DJ Chris created the most incredible mash ups with Motown and Funk (my husband's faves) and more modern crowd pleasers. It was truly incredible. At one point I was dancing to some good old rock & roll, thinking "I'm dancing to music I actually know the words too! And so is everyone else!"

    It was such a special day, and DJ Chris exceeded all expectations. Thank you!

    I worked with MaryMonica Music for my wedding and could not have been happier with that choice. With cost effective pricing, many entertainment options and a great team to work with, what more could you ask for? I selected Chris Somera as my DJ and he was incredibly professional and fun to work with. He made sure his time with us would be exactly what my husband and I wanted. He was a great addition to the wedding festivities and one that I would suggest to anyone looking for great entertainment!

    We booked our wedding on The Odyssey, and part of the package includes a DJ - this was through MaryMonica Entertainment. We didn't meet with anyone prior to the wedding, but we didn't have to. We were assigned to Alex, their "resident russian" and he was absolutely fantastic!

    Alex was a great DJ and also did an awesome job MCing the introductions and any other announcements. We had an awesome party on the dance floor and this was because of Alex!

    Thank you again. The wedding music is a big part of the “big day” and you totally came threw for us. My husband and I would recommend you to anyone interested in any type of DJ. Thank you for making our day so perfect and flawless. I anticipate doing business with you again in the future.

    Our DJ Chris was wonderful. I don't think anyone ever left the dancefloor.

    We hired two dancers for our wedding day on June 23rd. We wanted to have Brazilian dancers during our "Hora Loca" time to get the party revved up! It was difficult to find Brazilian dancers in Chicago, but I was so glad we were able to find Mary Monica. The guests loved the dancers, and we had so much fun. Thank you, Mary Monica! My guests loved your dancers!
