Khalid (with MAC Events) did an amazing job DJing our wedding. The app was easy to use and helped us get song and timeline ideas together. The pre-wedding meeting was also helpful in working out anything that was not clear from the app. On the day of, khalid was very great and kept the party going! Everything sounded great and flowed well together. All of our guests said they had a blast, and Khalid’s DJing was a big part of that. We had a great time too and would definitely recommend him!

Mac Events, and specifically DJ Gee, are incredible! From the beginning of the planning process to the actual wedding night, working with this team was seamless. Mac Events uses...

a planning app that makes it easy to indicate what songs you would like played at specific moments during the wedding/event and what your general music vibe is. Curating songs on the app made me feel confident that I would hear music that was meaningful and fun to me. During our wedding reception, DJ Gee made it such a party that I hardly left the dance floor. I didn't even want to go get a drink! His set matched exactly what I envisioned for our night. My friends talked about how much they loved the music, too, and said they wanted his playlist. Further, his set up was so cool looking and matched the decor of the wedding. There was great lighting that elevated the experience even more. I highly recommend Mac Events! Thank you for bringing your professionalism and expertise to our wedding.

Alex R

Our experience with Ryan and Mac Events was phenomenal! We used him for our wedding at Hotel Carmichael and he absolutely nailed it. I can say even if you are looking for any other...

sort of DJ for an event I would recommend Mac Events. The setup was a breeze as he uses an app to help facilitate the process and let you customize the experience to your liking. During the process he was available via email/phone/video meeting to answer any questions or concerns we had and was quick to respond. As part of the process he also sent out emails that gave us timelines of what we should be doing or what should have been done while leading up to the big day. On the big day he arrived on time, setup and made the room a perfect vibe for the dance floor and kept music transitions smooth as silk all night. We didn’t just pay for a DJ. We paid for one of the best in town and it really showed.

When we had questions, his response time was incredible, always willing to meet to discuss anything we needed, and was also available to provide recommendations. The day of the wedding, he made everything smooth as can be. We did get the glow sticks which were so fun for our guests, as well as the Photo Booth! He had everything set up, with props, and included a guest book for us to view our guests’ photos later! If you are looking for the best DJ team out there, go with Mac Events!

We talk several times before the wedding and he was so helpful when I had questions and was asking him for his opinion on stuff that I wasn't sure about. I'm still getting compliments about my DJ. So I truly couldn't be happier on how everything went at the wedding.

made me feel really secure that everything was being handled and he made everything super easy logistically! DJ Manuel...Where do I begin with how AMAZING he was. He truly brought the party to life with his energy and DJ set. Seriously the dance floor was the highlight of the wedding and everyone was on the dance floor from the minute it opened, until the very last song. I don't think I have ever danced so hard or had so much fun in my entire life. He really made our wedding reception everything we dreamed of- fun, full of life and amazing energy and it did not waver the entire night. He was a great MC and made the flow of everything so smooth. I feel so blessed that we had Manuel DJ our wedding, and would do it all over again if I could. Thank you thank you thank you to DJ Manuel, Ryan, and MAC Events!

We made a few late decisions and music choices and they accommodated us! We loved using the light sticks! Lighting for the night was also great! We loved all the add ons you could do, and we even used their photo booth. Trevor did such a great job with music selections and everyone had such a blast on the dance floor. We were able to easily create playlists in Spotify and upload them for the DJ. Thank you Trevor! - music was a top priority and you and Mac Events really delivered for us!

We cannot recommend Mac Events enough. We had the honor of hiring Ryan & Manuel for our wedding in Ohio (yes, we paid for them to come to Ohio because that's how much we wanted to ...

work with them!), and we are so incredibly happy we did. When we first met with the team, we let them know we had a few "must plays" and "do not plays", but allowed them the creativity in between, and they executed the entire day and evening flawlessly. Their music selection was impeccable, catering to guests of all ages and tastes. Overall, we cannot recommend Mac Events highly enough. If you're looking for a DJ who will elevate your wedding or any special occasion to new heights, look no further. With their exceptional talent, professionalism, and dedication to excellence, they are sure to make your event an unforgettable celebration.

He of course has an extensive musical knowledge and knows how to match ANY vibe, and will defend your do-not-play all night long, while matching your requested songs perfectly. He will take very good care of you. Super communicative and responsive too, with Zoom calls beforehand and a website to configure everything down to the timings of the processional. I wouldn't have had it any other way.

wedding/threw the best party they'd been to in a long time. They specifically said the DJ was awesome. Gerald did a great job with our multiple requests as well. My husband is from West Africa so we asked for some afrobeats to be included in our song line up and he put in some of my favorites. Ryan also helped cut a song for our intro over a month prior to the wedding so we could practice the intro dance, which was very helpful. We also got the photobooth and have a ton of amazing photos to look through and remember the evening. These guys are well priced, very responsive and open to any and all requests and feedback. 100% recommend.

unicate with and responded quickly every time! More than willing to get together as many timed as needed leading up to the wedding to make sure everything was perfect. And this was all before the wedding! On wedding day, he checked in with us multiple times (never at a bad time and never pulled us away from what we were doing) to keep us on schedule and make sure we were where we needed to be or doing what we needed to do at that time. He made sure to hit all of our favorite songs and kept notice of the crowd to play music everyone was into. Highly recommend Mac Events and Ryan especially!!
