Very easy to work with in terms of setting up their services. We were a little disappointed in how the DJ interacted with the guests and how they handled requests.

Dinner DanceReviewed on December 16, 2006From Wilmette, IL

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.

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on November 24, 2006From Rosemont, IL

I just wanted to express how dissapointed I was with everything. It started off with not returning phone calls or emails. It is stressful enough planning a party; they definatley made it more stressful. Then, I find out that there are no lights included a few days before the party. It would have not been a huge deal if we spoke earlier and I planned accordingly. I did call around and all the DJ's I contacted said that lighting was included in their prices. I found it odd that there was no lighting. Then, I ask how much extra would the lighting be, and as usual, I got no response. I was willing to pay extra for a standard DJ service and I was not responded to. I had to have a back-up plan in case they did not show, that is how uncertain I was of their service. Then... they sent a DJ who is more concerned with drinking beer than with providing a service. My mother had to tell him to stop drinking after our 45 minute pause in music because his system crashed. He forgot his monitor, so had to use a small computer screen for karaoke lyrics. When people began to sing, I asked him to play music in-between performers. He said that he did not know how to do that. So, sometimes between performers there was like 4-5 minutes of silence. Then, he tried to accomplish the task of switching back and forth, and then everything went down hill and we had silence for 45 minutes. We had to re-arrange some of the key points in the party to wait for music. A thank you speech 1 hour into the party? Happy birthday without music? Then he tells me that he will stay an hour later (which would be 1AM) and he packed up at 12:15AM. I mean, from start to finish, there was not one highlight from Defiant. They told me that the DJ was fired the next day...Well, if it was so bad to fire a DJ, then maybe it was time for a refund. I did not receive a full refund, which I should have been entitled to.

:

The DJ in question has almost six years of impeccable performance. I'm not sure who this man spoke to, but it certainly wasn't me, and the employee certainly was not fired. Each and every one of our DJs has a full system backup with them at every event. It takes one DJ approximately 10 minutes to replace a malfunctioning component and restart the system. I fully investigate any customer complaint and take appropriate action when necessary. I verified that there was a lack of music for approximately 15 minutes, the time needed for our DJ to replace the malfunctioning component. After replacing the component, the DJ called me to inform me of the issue. At my di

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!

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.

WeddingReviewed on October 26, 2008From Wheaton, IL

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!

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.

Wedding ReceptionReviewed on December 20, 2010From Chicago, IL

Everything was awesome from our introductions to our last dance. The dance floor was packed and everything went so smooth. If I had to plan the whole wedding over again I'd change a few things but I wouldn't change one thing about our entertainment. Thanks JD and Craig!

Sweet 16 PartyReviewed on August 2, 2009From Wheeling, IL

I was very impressed with the way the way everything was handled from beginning to end. Nobody referred me to Magnificent Moments/Defiant Mobile Entertainment I just did research and found them online. I was very happy overall, with everything. This was for my daughters Sweet 16 party and she was very pleased with JD and his performance. JD was on time and very professional. He was accommodating with everything we requested. I would recommend Magnificent Moments/Defiant Mobile Entertainment to my friends, and family.

WeddingReviewed on July 6, 2009From Barrington, IL

Defiant Mobile Entertainment did an excellent job at our wedding. JD did awesome personalized introductions this really added to the wedding. They were so professional and Craig did an awesome job coordinating with all of our vendors prior, and on the day of the wedding. he was so accomodating. Our Frank Sinatra impersonator was late & he was on the phone coordinating with him the entire time so I didn't have to worry. Our Guests were dancing all night and raved about the music played, they said this was the most fun wedding they had been to. I would recommend them to anyone for their wedding or any special event. They made our day perfect! Jenny & Brian Lacny

I can't believe how great my wedding turned out. From beginning to end Craig and JD helped me create a reception that my friends called the best they have ever been too! I can't recommended these two guys enough, as they are in a class by themselves. THANKS AGAIN!!!!!! Lynn
