____________________________________________________________________ Why Magnificent Moments?

Your relationship is similar to but unlike any other in the world. Your DJ and your MC should likewise be unlike any other.

While most DJ's focus on their playlist, their lights, and their style, we focus on what we know is important to you: YOUR relationship, YOUR experience, and YOUR guests!

Our propriety planning model ensures that with your cooperation, your event will be personal, inspiring, and unlike anything your guests have ever seen.

Chicago has made us #1 for a reason, because WE make YOU #1. We will provide you with honest evaluations of our service prior to booking with us, and in return, all we ask is for you to honestly evaluate us as well.

We use the latest in technology to assist us in ensuring the flow of your wedding meets your high expectations. We offer photos to each and every one of your guests free of charge.

Your preference and style will be respected by us at all times. Most couples would like to have both an amazing DJ and a polished Master of Ceremonies.

Some couples are willing to subject their guests to McWdding DJ; someone who has not went to DJ school, trained, and perfected their trade. McWedding DJ has unfortunately become the largest member of Wedding DJ community.

It goes without saying that the best auto mechanic is not necessarily the best driver. In like manner, the best DJ's in the world are not necessarily the best hosts and speakers. We are with you on this, and as such have teamed Chicago's best wedding DJ with one of Chicago's greatest wedding hosts and put both to work for you and your guests! After all, aren't your guests worth Magnificent Moments at YOUR wedding?

1. Do you want your guests to forever remember your wedding as unique? 2. Would you like your personal style and flow to be apparent througout the event? 3. Would you like your reception to show thoughtfulness, elegance, and charm?

If you answered yes to these questions, then you may be eligible for an on-the-house consultation by Magnificent Moments - Chicago's #1 Rated Wedding Entertainment Team - Making couple's dreams come true for over 10 years!

• Both the DJ and emcee were fantastic. They completed a lot of prep work with the wedding party to make sure the reception was perfect. The DJ did a great job of mixing the music to appeal to all ages and to keep the party from dragging. The emcee was talented and creative. They also worked so well with the venue manager to keep the event running smoothly that we only needed to mix with the guests and have fun. To top it off they were just plain “nice” people. I would highly recommend them for any event. -- Sharyn K, Crystal Lake, IL, 6/21/2008
• The two guys from Defiant that coordinated my reception were nothing less than amazing! There were a few issues with the staff in the hall that worried me. The food wasn't served on time. I was told there was a problem in the kitchen and all my friends and family were there. The DJs heard of the problem and it was as if they knew all along that this would happen and had planned for it. They played some creative games to stall for time and gave the kitchen the extra half an hour they needed to get the food out to us. Not one of my guests knew that the kitchen was behind schedule. They thought it was all planned. I was amazed at how well the DJs handled the situation. -- Hak Yon K, Chicago, IL, 1/4/2008
• My fiance found Defiant on the internet and we booked them EARLY. We used Defiant to provide the sound for the ceremony as well as the DJ and MC for the reception. During the ceremony, everyone could hear exactly what the preacher and what we were saying. They had everything hooked up wirelessly. So, there wasn't a bunch of cords, microphone stands, and clutter like my friend had. They were there exactly when they said they would be and while they are young (which worried me), they were definitely pros at this. The reception incredible. The introductions obviously took a lot of work and were perfect. The dance music was great, too! Thanks, guys! -- Chris R, Mount Prospect, IL, 9/15/2007
• Great job all around guys! They were the best dj's that I have ever dealt with. I will reccommend them to all my friend's and family getting married. I was very impressed with their collection of latin music that many of my friends requested at the reception. My cousin played a song on his guitar at the reception and his amp quit working. The DJ quickly stepped in and had my cousin's music coming through his own speakers in no time. I am very apprecciative of his flexibility. Thank you many times again. -- Tricia R, Chicago, IL, 1/5/2008
• Craig and JD did a awesome job, they above and beyond what we asked them to do. From the introductions to our last dance dance they were on top of everything. The entire reception was non stop fun and I recommend them 100%!!!!! Thanks again! -- Joan T, Homer Glen, IL, 11/3/2007
• Everyone had such a great time! I can't thank them enough for everything Craig and JD did the whole day. They managed the entire event so I could enjoy myself and it made the whole reception far less stressful than I thought it would be. I did want the night to end because my family and friends were having such a good time. I will defiantly recommend theses guys to all my friends getting married. Thanks again! -- Debbie D, Brookfield, IL, 10/20/2007
• 100% SATISFIED! Craig and JD were amazing! They went above and beyond what we expected for our reception. They were friendly, professional, and creative! They even suggested doing some things at the wedding that none of us had thought of! They really made my day special and I will be recomending them to all my friends, family, and co-workers! Thanks again, guys! -- Debbie M, Chicago, IL, 12/22/2007
• Mark and I did our homework when it came to finding a DJ for our wedding reception. These guys gave us a DJ AND an MC. It was funny how many people at the wedding thought that they knew us and were old friends. Craig and JD really went out of their way to get to know us and what our needs were. They called us a few times before our wedding to make sure that everything was just perfect, and it was! Thanks Craig! -- Mark S, Chicago, IL, 10/19/2007
• Wow, what can I say I'm so pleased I hired these guys. I mean they were just great and they let me sit back and enjoy my reception. When I need another DJ or if someone ask to recommend someone I know who I'll be calling. Thanks again for the great time! -- Erin R, Chicago, IL, 6/17/2006
• All my friends had a fantastic time at my party.....I don't think I could have lucked out anymore when picking a DJ. He was on time, very professional, and kept everyone dancing and singing. We all had so much fun and I would highly recommend his services to everyone because next time I need a DJ I know who to go to! -- Shane O, Chicago, IL, 6/10/2006
• Outstanding Job! Craig and JD were recommended to me by a friend and they came through with a top notch performance. They even found my wife's garter as they were cleaning up and sent it to us in the mail. Now that's service! I've already booked them for my company's Holiday Party in December. Very well done. -- Mark A, Saint Charles, IL, 9/16/2007
• My DJ was very helpful throughout the whole wedding. He was always keeping us updated with what his plans were and he would keep us on our feet when it came to things like the cake cutting, the dances, etc. He was very nice and very professional. -- Sara S, Palatine, IL, 9/15/2007
• Our reception got moved from the room it was supposed to be in to another one that was much much larger than the one we had scheduled them to be in. The change happened last minute and we didn't know about it before hand. We were worried that we weren't going to have enough sound to sound good. I told JD about our concern between the ceremony and the reception. I could see a disaster happening before my eyes. JD and Craig talked it over and before we even arrived at the hall, they had brought in extra sound equipment to solve the problem. Thank you so much, Craig! I hope everyone is lucky enough to find you! -- Jacob B, Chicago, IL, 9/7/2007
• From my first meeting with Craig, I honestly felt like I was the center of attention and that he really cared to provide me with more than I could've known to ask for. I am the "office event planner". So, I've worked with DJs more than I care to admit. At least 10 times in the last 2 years. In all those times, I never had a DJ that worked for me that I wanted to call back for my wedding. :( When I found Defiant, I assumed, it would be another crap shoot. Even after calling, I wasn't sure. But after my first meeting with Craig, I was confident that things would be fine. After seeing Craig and JD in action, I finally have a DJ card in my rolodex. GREAT JOB GUYS! -- Lynn W, Glen Ellyn, IL, 7/28/2007
• Craig Conrad of Defiant Mobile was well worth the money! He helped me with anything I asked him to do for the reception, and did not complain about anything! He helped make our reception the best reception that we could have asked for, and we had so many compliments from the family members as well! I would definately recommend him for any party you want a DJ for! I actually already did recommend him for my cousins reception in the near future! We would like to thank Defiant Mobile and especially Craig Conrad for all the hard work, flexibility, and help throughout the arranging and during the party! Jonathan P. Mathes -- Jonathan M, Rolling Meadows, IL, 6/29/2007
• Great fun! In a night of complete chaos (outdoor wedding in June turned cold & windy, limo drivers (United Limo) were rude, etc., etc., Conrad and JD were refreshingly professional and kept the dance floor packed ALL night - Highly recommend these guys :) Thanks for the memories!! -- Angela W, Chicago, IL, 6/28/2007
• We had such a GREAT experience with Defiant Mobile Entertainment. They truly did a superb job. They were very thourough and creative and really got our guests moving. You can tell these DJ's really love their job, they were energetic and a ton of fun. I would highly recommend them to anyone!!!! -- Rosie B, Chicago, IL, 6/9/2007
• I had my concerns at first about hiring a dj online but they were put to rest to with the quick and knowledgeable responses from Defiant Mobile Entertainment. I called a few other companies and I always received voice mail but with when I called Defiant I got to speak to a real person. Right after I spoke with Craig, I hired them and I couldn’t be happier because my wedding turned out perfect. People had so much fun and they did thing where the wedding party built a wedding cake that was priceless. I completely recommend Defiant Mobile Entertainment! Thanks again guys. -- Joyce G, Chicago, IL, 5/27/2007
• FIVE STARS ISN'T ENOUGH!!!!!!!!! Our experience at our wedding reception was everything we hoped for! Everyone at our wedding had such a good time. Thanks again! -- Lisa D, Chicago, IL, 6/1/2007
• Overall they did a wonderful job. They were alot of fun to work with. Everyone had a great time and the energy was deffiantly there. -- Katherine M, Counrty Side, IL, 10/13/2006
• Where do I begin....everyone of our guests/clients complimented us on picking such fantastic DJs and they were nothing short of amazing. From the music they played to their exceptional skills as an MC, Defiant Entertainment took control of the microphone and kept my event going at the perfect pace. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone in need of a DJ!! Plus they were extremely helpful in setting up some other AV equipment that we had...to the point of lending me a power strip and hooking the audio into their speakers. Professionalism, talent, and some great mixes..Defiant Mobile Entertainment has it all. -- Monica D, Chicago, IL, 6/23/2007
• They were awesome ! Very accomodating, personable, couldn't ask for more ! Everrrrrrrrrybody at the party was thanking us for such a great time ! Thanks again for a great time at our Company Holiday party ! Happy Holidays ! Pamela :-) -- Pamela D, Addison, IL, 12/21/2006

• I was extremely pleased with Defiant Mobile Entertainment. I will without a doubt use them again. -- Cara Y, Chicago, IL, 5/30/2008
• He was ready to help us in anyway he could. I forgot an extension cord for my slide show, he was quick to supply what I needed. He had plenty of great ideas for keeping the party moving for the entire 5 hours that he was hired. He definitely knew what he was doing to help us produce a fantastic birthday party. I would definitely hire him again for our next special occassion! -- George W, Glenwood, IL, 11/23/2007
• I used GigMasters to find a DJ quickly for a surprise birthday party. Defiant DJ responded immediately with a quote that was quite reasonable. Craig Conrad was very responsive and answered all my questions ahead of time. On the evening of the event, Craig was stuck in traffic, but called to let me know he would be there and ready to go by the time he was scheduled to start. I appreciated his communicating with me, and by the time we got to the party, Craig was set up and ready just like he promised. Defiant DJ is very professional, had a reasonable price and was very pleasant to work with. I would (and will) definitely recommend them! -- Debbie G, Sycamore, IL, 5/2/2008
• My experience with Defiant Moblie Entertainment was outstanding. I had a brief conversation with Craig prior to the event. I was extermly pleased and so were my guest. I recieved to numerious to keep track complement after complement how great he was...... Thank You for making the event so very special to us. Theresa Klechak -- Theresa K, Palatine, IL, 4/22/2007

• This DJ was fabulous and helped to make this celebration a HUGE success. I would definitely recommend him to anyone. -- Amanda F, River Grove, IL, 8/12/2006
• Craig talent and technology helped to make our party a SCREAMING success. The fact that a party of 50 year-olds danced up a storm is a tribute to his success. I will recommend Defiant Mobile very highly. Thanks very much. -- Vicki R, Chicago, IL, 8/18/2007
• Nice job Craig. Good mix of music which kept the party going. -- Matthew F, Naperville, IL, 11/17/2006
• We had a very ethnically diverse crowd, and a slow start. Craig took a few songs to get a feel for what the crowd was in to. But he found the right groove fairly quickly and my guests enjoyed the music a lot. He was also fantastic with the kids - I didn't expect that. If we do this again next year, Defiant will be my first call. -- Jay D, Chicago, IL, 7/28/2007
• Our employees enjoyed the music along with the karaokee. We had an awesome time and we are looking forward to next years employee's appreciation party. Thank you for an wonderful time of fun, fun, fun! D Morgan Timbers of Shorewood -- Doris M, Shorewood, IL, 7/26/2007
• Defiant Mobile Entertainment was very entertaining. There was no down time at all which held the interest of our guest. He was able to switch from karaoke back to music in seconds. He had our request with in a minute. I was very pleased. Thank you very much for the great memories! -- Marce W, St Charles, IL, 5/31/2008
• Our DJ's were excellent! The personalities were just what we needed to encourage more dancing and higher energy to make our holiday party a bigger success. I will definitely recommend Defiant to others. -- Debbie Z, Wilmette, IL, 12/16/2006
• JD and Craig from Magnificent Moments did a awesome job. I'm writing this review about two months after my wedding and we are still ecstatic with service they provided. They were worth three times what we paid them and they were a huge part in creating and delivering the day I dreamed of. Everything from the our personalized introductions to our last dance was awesome. These guys don't deserve 5 stars....they deserve 10! -- Debbie M, Chicago, IL, 12/20/2008
• Craig arrived absolutely on time, was very ready when the guests arrived, played all of the music that was requested and was very accommodating. We recommend him highly for his professionalism. -- Linda B, Chicago, IL, 11/8/2008
• I am so happy we had Defiant Mobile Entertainment DJ our reception! They were on time, well prepared, and extremely good at adapting. I lost count of the number of guest who complimented us about them. While I know we were just one wedding in a multitude for the DJs, they really made it personal during the planning process. From the well-written bridal party intros to the give-away centerpieces game, we were thrilled they kept the reception moving so smoothly! One last note--for the bridal party dance, I needed a much shorter version of a song--Craig edited it perfectly and sent it to me weeks in advance. What service! Thanks guys! -- Christa S, Wheaton, IL, 10/26/2008
• They were great! They knew how to make our reception special because they've done so many before. I would highly recommend these guys! -- Scudder M, Chicago, IL, 9/6/2008
• Defiant was very professional. Craig and JD made sure they knew exactly what I wanted the night to be like and they delivered. They are as friendly as can be and so knowledgeable that I got a lot of good advice on the agenda for my reception. The sound system kept the party going until the end of the night and the light show was awesome too. Everything went so smoothly and if I have another party I will give them call. I strongly recommend Defiant Mobile Entertainment for anybody who wants a fun, stress free party. -- Shae H, Hoffman Estates, IL, 7/11/2008
• It was great!!! Thank you guys for a professional job. Drew and Colleen Noffsinger -- Andrew N, Lisle, IL, 7/5/2008
