Absolutely top-notch!

We can say numerous great things about GenerationNOW Entertainment and DJ Mickey - what a duo!

To start the communication with Tim of GenerationNOW and DJ Mickey was exceptional. They were professional and highly responsive from the initial planning stages to the actual event.

On the day of the event, there was an error regarding the date and time of the event, made on our behalf (NOT made by GenerationNOW). We quickly emailed Tim of GenerationNOW Entertainment, and his response to the matter and confidence in providing a solution was in a matter of minutes! We were relieved and beyond grateful for their willingness to accommodate the special request and make an on-the-spot adjustment.

What truly sets GenerationNOW Entertainment apart from any other entertainment company is its flexibility and commitment to excellence.

DJ Mickey demonstrated an impeccable sense of timing, seamlessly blending upbeat tracks during the high-energy moments and more relaxed, melodic tunes during the quieter, contemplative parts of the event. This dynamic range kept our Members engaged and entertained throughout the evening.

The highlight of the evening was when DJ Mickey seamlessly mixed in some golf-themed tracks and sound bites, adding a playful and personalized touch to the event. Talk about custom and creative flair!

All this to be said, DJ Mickey's performance was nothing short of spectacular. He managed to create a vibrant, engaging, and memorable atmosphere that elevated the entire evening for our Members.
His talent, professionalism, and outstanding communication were evident in every beat, making them an essential part of the event's success. I would highly recommend GenerationNOW Entertainment, especially DJ Mickey, for any event looking to blend sophistication with a lively, engaging vibe. Absolutely top-notch!

We can't wait to plan another event with GenerationNOW Entertainment and DJ Mickey!

Hire GenNow!!

I can not express how amazing our wedding was because of GenNow. They were so professional from the beginning. Tim walked us through the options, met with us in person before the wedding, and the whole crew gave us the epic dance party we were hoping for. We used DJ Mad Mardigan for our DJ and we also used Daniel, a violinist through GenNow, for our ceremony music and it was absolutely beautiful. Daniel is extremely talented and he brought my exact vision of my ceremony to life.
DJ Mad Mardigan is truly the best there is. Multiple guests raved about his skills and how the dance floor was packed the entire night! I highly recommend GenNow! Not only for weddings, but any event that you may need to provide music. Our wedding was so memorable because of them!

Wonderfull DJ!!

GenerationNOW was a wonderful company to work with from start to finish! We had an initial call with Tim who helped us narrow down what package we would like and from there met with our DJ, Matt, who did a phenomenal job at incorporating a mix of music we loved from slow dances to lots of Taylor Swift for us Swifties to the club music after 9pm! We also added on the ceremony package which was great! Highly recommend GenerationNOW for your wedding reception :)
