Charizma Entertainment

reached out to us ahead of our wedding to get an idea of what we were looking for in regards to music to play. And then they were able to roll with it, and make our wedding such a fun event! We definitely will be using Charizma again for all of our DJ needs, and highly recommend booking them for your our events! They will not disappoint!

tely everything right. I can't recommend them enough!

and his team. From the planning stage before the wedding, to the opening notes of our ceremony, to the closing song, Marz brought a genuine and contagious energy that just can't be faked or replicated. I say this as someone who comes from a large family with tons of weddings - each with DJs that (respectfully) don't hold a candle to what Marz did for our event. The only one that comes close was also DJ'd by another Charizma DJ, which was the reason I reached out to Charizma for our wedding in the first place. I say this to note that if you can't book Marz (which I would absolutely do again), the other talent at Charizma will be awesome. Thanks Marz & team for making our wedding wonderful. The expertise yourself and your team brought absolutely made the event special, and that's something you can't put a price on.

c. Marz and Charizma entertainment exceeded our expectations. DJ Jimmy went above and beyond to make our day special. He incorporated personal touches throughout the event, helped all the speeches run smoothly, and kept everyone entertained. We attended several other weddings this year and none of the other DJs were even close to as amazing as this company. I would highly recommend them to any family or friends.

not want to hear. I will definitely be recommending Charizma!

all night! Seriously, so many people complimented and said he did such a great job throughout the night MC'ing and DJ'ing and we can't thank him enough. Multiple people told us it was the best / most fun wedding they had ever been to, and we attribute much of that to Marz! Music selection, being able to connect with guests, interaction, taking requests - he did it all! Not to mention the best Hora we (and much of our family members) had ever been a part of! Marz seriously went out of his way to make it such a special night for us, making sure we connected with grandparents, family members, and so much more. If you want to have people on the dance floor all night at your wedding - you gotta go with Marz and Charizma!!

r any payments due, and for final appointments. This took away any anxiety about whether or not the double booked accidentally. Then for our details meeting he was so detailed and offered great advice. The wedding day… absolutely MAGICAL! They kept everything flowing and kept each activity of the wedding fun and interactive. We just kept hearing from all our guests how great they were. I would not use any other company for DJ services after using them. Truly mastered their art! Thank you Charizma Entertainment for making our day so memorable!

owed us and everyone else at our wedding. SO many people came up to us afterwards wanting his information and to book him for their wedding. He got things going and kept them fun and exciting all night with his djing, dancing, letting the bride (me) DJ for a little (LOL) and keeping us and everyone happy and the dance floor alive. We know for sure our reception would not have been the same without Walt. Book him for your wedding - you will not regret it and you will have the night of your life!

nated all of the moving parts between the reverend, the father-daughter dance, the first dance, and groomsmen & bridesmaids' entrances and got people out to the dance floor that would not typically be on the dance floor. He knows how to get a crowd going, and keep them going. He was professional from start to finish but also knows how to have fun! We couldn't have been happier with Walt and recommend him to anyone looking to have a great wedding. It is now two weeks after our wedding and we have guests asking how they can hire Walt telling us he was the best DJ they've seen!

id everything better than I could have imagined. There was not a single moment that the dance floor was empty. Beyond incredible at his job, would HIGHLY recommend him to other couples planning a wedding or any celebration really! Walt, you’re the best! Thank you for making our day so fun, I will never forget it.

o get everyone on the dance floor and having a great time despite the heat. He does above and beyond just playing songs and really engages with the audience to keep the energy going and the spirits high. Would highly recommend!

ything I had experienced before by a wedding DJ. When my best friend got married in 2018, we saw Charizma at a bridal event, and I shared my experience with her. She had Walt at her wedding and it was another amazing event! My stepbrother was then married in 2019 and there was Walt again. When we got engaged, I knew without a doubt that I needed to have Charizma Entertainment. Our wedding venue even provided a DJ, so I had to ask if we could bring our own - it was really a deal breaker! We were lucky enough to have Walt & Marz show up to our big day! Walt has such an amazing personality - he is so down to earth and he can bust some serious moves (and vocals) on the dance floor! Marz’s communication makes you feel so at ease leading up to the big day. I really prefer not to call them DJs because they are so much more - they keep the day running smoothly, they keep a pulse of the crowd, they check in with the bride and groom, and they keep the dance floor full with their music selections. We firmly believe that choosing the right DJ vendor is so important because it’s the heartbeat of the wedding reception. I can assure you will not go wrong with Charizma Entertainment!

re! Marz is hands down the best DJ in Chicago, and quite possibly the world. I have now seen him at three weddings (including ours), and he absolutely MAKES the event. Let me explain: he will keep everything running smoothly; he will engage the crowd in creative ways; and he will get people on the dance floor. Full stop. He has SO much energy, and it will hype up your guests - believe me, he had EVERYONE dancing. As a Type A person (read: anxious bride), he was extremely responsive, and the online music/event planner was intuitive and easy to use, allowing us to have all of our “must play” songs available on our celebration night. Stop reading this review and give Charizma a call!

night on how great our two DJs were. They got everyone up on the dance floor (from 2 years to 82 year olds) and involved in the fun. They did an amazing job of keeping the energy up, picking great songs, and changing songs to match the vibe. Seriously, we cannot recommend them enough!! They made the night so perfect.

e we ever could have made. Everyone had an amazing time and have not stopped talking about how amazing they were. 10/10 recommend this group for all DJ and entertainment needs!

em. Incredible. Amazing. Incomparable. If you choose to work with Charizma, whatever expectations you have, I can assure you, will be exceeded immediately and then exceeded more and more as your event goes on. I guarantee you that you have never seen a DJ or an MC like this. They could take a broom closet and turn it into party central within minutes. And while bringing the party is for sure their specialty, the relationship that we built with Marz (owner/MC) is what truly made this an incredible experience. Marz, along with everyone at Charizma Entertainment, genuinely care about their clients and their guests. From the one on one conversations, to how Marz will introduce someone giving a speech at your wedding, you’ll feel like your event is the most important thing in the world. I could honestly go on and on about how incredible the experience working with Charizma Entertainment was for my wife and I, and I hope you’re able to have the same experience as us. If you choose to hire them, once your party is over, all you’ll want to do is recommend them to everyone you know. They’re simply the best.

your wedding Go with Charizma Entertainment!

ma provided the sound and music for our ceremony, music for our cocktail hour and elevated our reception to heights I didn't know were possible for a wedding. Lets just say we should have requested a larger dance floor from our wedding venue. From the second the dance floor opened and all the way to the last song, the dance floor was jam packed. The Charizma Team did a phenomenal job starting the party and keeping it alive. The energy in the ballroom was like nothing I've ever witnessed at a wedding. Ari (our MC for the night) was hands down AWESOME! Her energy was electrifying and she did a phenomenal job making guests feel comfortable to dance. Heck, I'm not a huge dancer and I was breaking out moves I didn't know I had. All in all, I would recommend Charizma Entertainment over and over and over again. Thank you to the Charizma Team for making our special night one for the ages and an evening our guests will never forget.

ding. They are truly a grade above the rest because their packages offer a DJ AND an MC, which really gets the party started. And that’s exactly how our recent wedding was on April 24, 2021 - our guests were up dancing the entire time, just like we wanted!!! I highly recommend hiring Charizma Entertainment for your wedding, even if your venue has a recommended DJ - there is nothing better than having Marz and the emcee at your event!! Thanks to all!

ving them apart of our wedding day was even more special. The guests raved about Marz and how entertaining he was (literally people of all ages made this compliment!) Not only was he super entertaining on the day of our wedding, he made the planning process super easy. We had a couple of Zoom calls prior to our date and Marz was easy to talk to and did such a good job offering suggestions with our timeline to ensure the night would run smoothly. Highly recommend Charizma Entertainment - you will not be disappointed!

e apart of our special day. If we had to do it all over again we know we would absolutely have Charizma Entertainment apart of our experience. All of our guests, old and young, had an incredible time. Walt was always sure to check in with me throughout the night and kept the atmosphere flowing. Mars is excellent on the turntables and when both get out on the dance floor its amazing!! Thank you guys for making our day so incredible.

n the DJ! Would highly recommend him.

ding and we had such a great time I couldn’t stop thinking about how amazing our reception would be. Walt is a very kind person and you can tell he really cares. At our reception, Walt and his DJ were spectacular! Everyone I spoke with said that MC and DJ were the best they had ever seen. Some of our guests stayed to the end of the Wedding because they didn’t want to miss any of the dancing. Our dance floor never emptied and people were so happy to celebrate. The atmosphere Walt and his DJ create is exciting that you can feel energy from the guests all night. I will recommend Charizma to anyone who is planning a wedding!

ts! All of our friends and family loved how engaging they were with all of the guests at our wedding! If you are ever looking for a company to truly engage your guests, look no further than Charizma Entertainment!

party going!

e me feel comfortable knowing they had taken all my notes. They executed the whole thing from start to finish amazingly. I also really loved the photobooth photographer that came with them for the photobooth.

ance floor was full and everyone was dancing! Music was played for everyone, they even played our daughters request of Baby Shark. They interacted with our guest and everyone from our wedding even other vendors keep telling use that they have never seen anything like Marz and Walt. If you are on the fence Charizma is hands down what you need to take your wedding to the next level!! THANK YOU SO MUCH MARZ AND WALT!!! xoxo

troductions and gave them fun dance move instructions. I only wish I had a picture of them sitting around him and intently listening to him. (If I get a picture, I will post It). All the guests were standing up and applauding! He worked so well with the bride and groom in their music selections. Marz kept everyone on their feet dancing till the very end!!! Wonderful!!!

sney, and they incorporated two songs from A Goofy Movie into the reception. The guests LOVED that. Walt was a guest (and bride/groom) favorite! They were professional, energetic, and were able to make a one-of-a-kind experience for us. I would highly recommend, well worth the money spent.

our wildest expectations. They had a wonderful meeting with us and made sure every detail was exactly what we wanted and tailored the playlist to our crowd and theme. Everyone at our wedding said they were the best DJs they had ever seen. They incorporated games and even got the wallflowers on the dance floor. They definitely made our reception a night to remember. 5 stars is not a high enough rating, they are easily 10!

ption moving the entire time and they really know how to get EVERYONE up and moving! My husband and I first experienced Charizma Entertainment at my husband's lifelong buddy's wedding where we first met the founder, Marz. Before the night was over he had received so many compliments that we just had to have him for our wedding the following summer. After sitting down and contacting them about the date Marz discovered he was booked, but assured us we would be in great hands with his partner, Walt. We initially thought that no one could top the MC performance that Marz brought at my husband's buddy's wedding, but we were so mistaken! Walt absolutely rocked our wedding and yet again, the compliments flooded in! So many of our guests said that it was the most fun they've ever had at a wedding and we couldn't agree more! No matter who your MC/DJ crew is, this company will put on a performance you and your guests surely won't forget!

ergy was always high, and everyone had a blast. I have had so many people tell me that that our DJ was awesome and they had so much fun! I can't recommend these guys enough. Book them now!!

company booked. However, I went to a coworkers wedding who hired Charizma and realized I HAD to switch my DJ. I could not be more happy with the decision I made. Marz had all of our guests dancing at their tables during dinner and the dance floor was packed all night long! You can tell that Marz loves his job because he's on the dance floor with the guests too. I am still getting calls from my guests asking where I found such an incredible MC. I even had one of my cousins who lives in Colorado ask him about doing their wedding. I highly recommend Charizma Entertainment.

n not more highly recommend Walt! If you want people to dance, laugh, and say "awwwwe" all night - hire Walt! If you want your event to be lame - hire anyone else. I still have people who come up to me and remark about how Walt is the best wedding DJ they have ever seen and they are right!

ver in my life have I ever met someone more passionate about their job and making sure everyone is having an amazing time! I was able to sit back and relax to enjoy my reception instead of being worried about all of the details! They are professional, energetic, smart and can really take your event to the next level!! Thank you for making my special day even more special!

ings should be done or how long they should take. Marz was able to advise us on that. We used the online portal to indicate songs for special moments. Some of them were not common, but Marz made sure he found them. Music for our ceremony and reception were on point! The team was able to go with the flow as our friends and family made requests for obscure songs. There were almost no "stereotypical" songs played, and even those were mixed in a way that made them more interesting (I'm lookin' at you 'Cha Cha Slide'). The Charizma team really helped make this a night to remember.

. They made the process easy and fun, even though we were planning from across the country. They handled everything professionally yet were light hearted and funny. The day of Walt and his assistant were able to handle all the unscripted changes the night brought and created an amazing dance party. Thanks again guys!

tive and create a very fun, high-energy experience that is a step above what you experience at most weddings because of the little extras they do to immerse guests in the experience and make everyone feel comfortable getting out on the dance floor. Our guests were raving about Marz and how awesome he was as our DJ. They did our ceremony music as well and were wonderful. The planning process was easy and they hit all of the cues and songs we wanted to hear played. I would highly, highly recommend to anyone looking for a DJ for their wedding. You will not be disappointed.

l, and let him do his amazing job. He truly made our night, the best night of our lives! He had everyone moving and dancing, no one ever sat down!!! He made sure we never had a lull or dull moment at the wedding!!! The DJ was one of our most important vendors, and THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!! You will not regret using Charizma Entertainment for your DJ services!!!!!

g. Marz went out of his way to make sure we got exactly what we wanted including making sure our bridal party entrance was that much more special and meaningful. We can't thank you guys enough! Thank You Again! Love, Dan & Catherine J

iend and family member at our wedding raved about our choice of vendor. We even had a friend cancel her initial DJ for her summer wedding in order to hire Charizma Entertainment. She was THAT impressed. We loved working with Charizma and the entire process of working with them was incredibly smooth and fun-filled. DJ Marz has a great sense of humor and a remarkable talent. He is incredible at reading the crowd and knowing how to keep guests on the dance floor all night. Most importantly, he knows how to keep the guests wanting more! He would sing and dance with the crowd, and he never let the energy in the room die down. Everyone left that wedding with amazing memories. I am so sad it's over! I can't wait for all my friends and families to book Charizma Entertainment for their future weddings so that my now husband and I can relive the excitement we experienced on our wedding day. We also cannot wait to see DJ Marz again! Everyone who works for Charizma Entertainment is extraordinary at what they do!

dal expo and there was an instant connection and I realized I want this company to be a part of my big day. I do not say this lightly, I am very particular about music. I met with Walt who is a DJ and MC and he was able to understand my vision. He went above and beyond making sure I was able to have the wedding of my dreams. People under estimate how important the role of a DJ is; it sets the tone of the entire day. Walt spent hours with us and was just as passionate about our vision. He was able to calm my anxiety I had about the whole day. I have to give him a HUGE shout out because he is the best. Our DJ was Jimmy who was so amazing as well and patient with me and my elongated playlist haha I also want to compliment how awesome Marz is. He spent the time really figuring out goodness of fit for us when assigning his staff members to my wedding. Thank you guys so much, we appreciate you! I had so many compliments from my guests bragging about how amazing you were!

helped keep things moving and on time and everyone loved their energy and movement! They even let my husband DJ for a little and he had so much fun. Seriously, best choice ever!
