My husband and I were fortunate enough to work with GenerationNOW for our wedding day - and we could not be happier that we did! We worked directly with Tim when discussing packages, timelines, etc. Tim was so helpful and attentive to all of our questions and explained their process very thoroughly. At this point, we knew we were in good hands with GenNOW and they would do whatever possible to make our wedding day amazing. Shawn (DJ ShawnWho) was our DJ, and he was absolutely phenomenal. We met with him prior to our wedding over coffee and he walked through all of the details of our day and we also discussed what kind of music we wanted played. We made a Spotify playlist for Shawn to get a feel for what we were into, but definitely not necessary as Shawn is incredibly talented and knew exactly what to play to keep the dance floor busy all night. Not only was Shawn easy to work with, professional, and made our day so fun and stress-free, he knew how to keep our guests (and us!) dancing and having fun all night! Especially when Covid hit, it was so important to have a supportive and flexible vendor on your side. The entire GenNOW team was this and so much more, and we recommend them to anyone looking for a fun and industry-leading DJ team!

We worked with Nick Dircz and he was incredible! He worked with us in putting together what we wanted with a lot of detail and executed it perfectly. The end result was magical! He created the atmosphere we hoped for through the music we chose. His guidance and professionalism was a perfect match. We had a dance party the entire evening from the start to finish and received so many compliments of how fun our wedding was! Hands down the best DJ in the metro area!!

Our team worked with GenNow on a charity golf tournament. Their team was super responsive. patient and flexible in the midst of ongoing changes and postponements during this season of covid. We finally made it to event day and the DJ (Anthony) was amazing and the music added great energy for our golfers and guests in the hospitality tent!!

Shawn was my DJ and he did a FANTASTIC job! He met with me before my wedding at the venue to go over everything and map everything out. He studied the list of songs that I wanted and catered to all of my guests wants/requests. Shawn was also super professional and friendly to my guests, I got many compliments about him. He stuck to the timeline and gave me recommendations of songs for different parts of the night that worked perfectly. I would highly recommend Shawn as your dj for your wedding or any event you need a dj for!

DJ Mad Mardigan did an outstanding job with our virtual dance party! Our elementary students were able to request songs and give shout outs to friends and teachers using the chat feature. DJ Mad Mardigan made everyone feel included by giving the students credit for their song request and acknowledging many of them during the entire event. This was a great way to end the distance learning school year. Thank you DJ Mad Mardigan for creating a special night for our students, teachers and families.Jeremy KuhnsPrincipalIndian Mounds Elementary - Bloomington, MN

Wishes & More has been working with GenerationNOW since 2015 at our annual gala. We love partnering with Nick, Tim and the entire team to help us create the electric and FUN atmosphere at each of our events. We keep GenNOW on their toes with a new theme each year, and they do a great job of incorporating songs to keep the theme rocking and keeping our guests on their feet - even after the social hour, dinner and program. If youre looking for music of any genre, or videos to support the music, this team of professionals know how to keep your guests engaged and in the mood. Thanks guys, for being high level professionals and for caring about our special hometown charity supporting kids with serious medical diagnoses. We are proud to partner with you and we highly recommend GenerationNOW for any event.

Our Secret Dance Party was amazing. DJ Mad Mardigan was energetic and engaged our students. The lead-up planning and communication was excellent!

I started working with GenerationNOW when I was still with the Minnesota Super Bowl Host Committee. I was familiar with a number of the DJs and their ability to engage a crowd at different sporting events. I wanted that same energy to come through in the events I was responsible for executing during the week of SBLII and they just seemed liked the obvious choice. They were the exclusive entertainment vendor I contracted with. GenerationNOW has a DJ perfect for all occasions. Not only did they provide entertainment at a multi-day VIP activation, we got to see them everyday on Super Bowl Live! They exceeded my expectations in every capacity and continue to be my go to when booking.

I have nothing but good things to say about GenNOW. The DJs provide a great experience for the guests at our lounge/nightclub. They can adapt to different formats for different nights of the week. They’re flexible and have bailed us out in a pinch. Our DJs are a part of our work “family”. Thank you for everything you do!

Back in 2016, we asked GenerationNow to do something that has never happened before...bring music to professional golf. We wanted the 2016 Ryder Cup to be a complete entertainment experience and the team at GenerationNow navigated the complexity beautifully! They were instrumental in providing a different level of entertainment to professional golf by bringing their expertise from other sporting events to the golf course. That week we welcomed nearly 300,000 attendees to Hazeltine National Golf Club. The first tee is the most iconic locations in all of golf. The energy and buzz that exists at this location is palpable and we wanted to bring it to the next level. The team at GenerationNow was so responsive, professional, and respectful to the game of golf. Music on the first tee of a golf competition may not seem like a big deal, but it was. We had an international television audience that had to be coordinated with. It was a hit, from players, spectators, media. It has since been replicated and Im proud to say that GenerationNow was a trend-setter! The team also provided their DJ service some of our premium hospitality areas, turning them into a complete entertainment experience. Im so happy that we were able to work together, and would recommend anyone that is interested in DJ/entertainment experiences to strongly consider GenerationNow!-Jeffrey Hintz, 2016 Ryder Cup Director

Generation Now DJs are the most highly-skilled, punctual, and professional music service provider that Ive ever worked with. The Timberwolves and Lynx Organizations assign every audio facet of our gamenight/event experiences to their talented braintrust. Whether its an entrance point, a premium club, a VIP space, or the arena bowl itself, any and every space that these artists work in is custom tailored to meet each areas goals/needs. No event or space is too small to receive their highest level of attention to detail.Their artists have also represented the Minnesota Timberwolves/NBA both nationally and internationally, as well as on the largest stages of the NBAs All Star Weekend.There is a reason why the Timberwolves/Lynx have long been considered one of the stronger music experiences in professional sports - Generation Now Entertainment deserves all the credit.Chadwick FolkestadExecutive Producer - Live Programming & Entertainment.

GenerationNOW is the best DJ company out there. They make sure to be personal with your ceremony/party and make you feel like you are the only party they are worried about. They listen to your requests and really try to make sure you are 100% happy with their service. DJ Velvet (Ryan) is THE BEST DJ IN THE WORLD!!!

Nicholas was awesome. We booked him because we went to another wedding where he was performing a few years back and it was a blast. He did not disappoint at ours either. I can’t recommend him enough. No one else we would’ve rather had.

Anthony from Generation NOW was a fantastic DJ for my wifes birthday party. He had everyone on the dance floor having a great time. He was also very accommodating to our many requests. We would definitely hire them again.

Generation Now did an amazing job at our Wedding at Lumber Exchange Event Center. Nick (DJ Mad Mardigan) and Munya (MC host) made our event full of memories that will last a lifetime. Their professionalism and attention too detail was out of this world. I highly recommend them for any special event. You will not be disappointed.

Could not have had a better experience booking DJ Dudley D and GenerationNOW for my wedding! Guests still talk about how amazing the atmosphere and dancing was, and thats all thanks to DJ Dudley D. Right away when dancing started, the dance floor was packed, and it never died down! At the end of the night after the music stopped, we found ourselves standing on the dance floor wanting to keep going. Highly recommend GenNOW!

Our entire experience with GenerationNOW & our DJ Nick (Mad Mardigan) was phenomenal. Literally everyone danced at some point throughout the night & the music brought everyone together - without any cheesiness! Every single person who came to our wedding said that it was the best theyve been to because of the the music. Now, I just need to think of another event that I can throw so that I can use them again!

GenNOW did an unbelievable job at our wedding! This is coming from two people who you could consider “high maintenance” on our music taste, entertainment needs, and attention to detail. We were beyond ecstatic with everything. The ceremony setup was perfect, the music for social hour was great, and the music for the dance was the best (all our guests mentioned this was the best they have ever heard)! The MC portion was also the perfect mix of talking for introduction, upbeat grand march intro’s, and transitions between speech’s! If you want a high quality, detailed DJ with the best music performance for your guests, we highly recommend GenNOW! You can tell they care to make the experience your own/the way you want it for your wedding rather than just putting a standard DJ routine in.

GenerationNOW provided the DJ service for our wedding in April 2017 and to say we were satisfied with our experience would be an incredible understatement. Im a musician and my wife was a dancer. For us, music was the most important part of our wedding day and GenerationNOW far and away exceeded all of our expectation. From day one, Tim was very transparent and easy to work with. He went above and beyond to make sure they provided the right equipment for our venue. DJ Ben Quam, admittedly a good friend of ours, made our reception the unforgettable party we wanted. Music selection was perfect and the dance floor was packed all night. Thank you guys for making our wedding night everything we hoped it would be and then some!

Being an event planner for the last 15 years with a background of big productions such as music, fashion, big parties, etc. I can see the difference between an event production dj and a wedding dj. Now being a wedding planner in addition to an event planner, I always suggest a production type of dj. Why? Because they know how to get the crowd going and know different genres of music to play and mix. HANDS DOWN, one of the best djs I have EVER worked with. The guests at my clients wedding on 9/22 NEVER sat down. I will definitely be considering GenerationNOW for any of my big productions including weddings! And you should too!

Mad Mardigan was great to sit down with and talk music, the vibe we were looking for, and then he pulled it off seamlessly at our wedding just recently at Aria-- GenerationNOW is great people, and top quality. Thanks for a great beat for the crowd to groove to!

DJ Nimo (Nick) was fantastic! He kept the party moving and our dance floor was never empty, not once throughout the entire night. We gave Nick suggestions for a few must have songs that we wanted to hear and give him liberal discretion on what he deemed a good fit. He did an amazing job of reading the crowd. Our friends and family (including the ones that typically dont dance) have been telling us how much fun they had. While initially the cost was more than what we budgeted, you get what you pay for, and that is a fun night! Music for us was in our top 3 must haves for our wedding and we are so happy we went with GenerationNOW. They are a truly professional company and the entire process from working with Tim (in charge of marketing and events), to the in person meeting, questionnaire, several check-in points, ensured for a seamless process. Thanks again for making the biggest party well ever throw the absolute best.

The long hunt for an awesome DJ ended when we met GenerationNow staff setting up for a wedding at our venue. One of our top priorities was music and finding someone who could put on the best dance party however we seemed to be at a standstill with our search. We were impressed with their professionalism and experience and when it came time for our wedding I was certain we picked the best DJ around! DJ Mad Mardigan is the best of the best and surpassed all of our expectations. We gave Nick full control of the night and he rocked it! A month has gone by and everyone is still raving over our wedding dance party. Everyone was involved and had an amazing time, YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!!!

Mad Mardigan from Generation Now ROCKED our wedding reception. If you want a fantastic dance party they are the guys to hire! We had everyone from my 85 year old grandma to my 16 year old cousins out on the dance floor most of the night!! The dance floor never cleared out, not once. They hire real turntable DJS and mix the music so there is never a dull moment. I highly highly recommend them for any wedding, or event.

We were told that we had one of the funnest weddings people have ever been to, since people never left the dance floor. We were lucky enough to book DJ Mad Mardigan and the whole reception was tied together because of his performance.Overall, GenerationNOW has talented DJs, for we would recommend any one of them for any occasion.Thanks for the memories!

My wife and I could not be more pleased with the overall experience working with Generation NOW from the beginning planning stages working with Tim and our DJ Mad Mardigan. They always made us feel very comfortable and did a great job listening to our specific needs. Our guests raved about how excellent the music was at our wedding reception, songs flowing from one into the other and just keeping the overall energy level high! DJ Mad Mardigan was very diligent in playing our must play and not playing our do not play list, even if a guest would request a song from our DNP list, he stuck to our plan, which was greatly appreciated!If youre planning a wedding or an important party, do yourself a favor and ask yourself how important the music and atmosphere is. If it is as important to you as it was to us, then we would highly recommend that you check out Generation NOW! You and your guests will be happy you did!

Ive been going to Orange Theory Fitness (OTF) for close to 3 years now. Its an amazing full body workout, with excellent trainers and a great atmosphere. I thought so highly of this gym that I didnt think it could get much better, until last Saturday night! OTF brought in DJ Matty Matt to spin music during our workout. Talk about motivation! Not only did we have the best mix of 90s throwback jams weve all heard but I burned the most calories to date since I STARTED at OTF over 2 yrs ago! DJ Matty Matt took notice of what we were doing in class and brought up the beat exactly when we needed that extra push. Youd be surprised how much that helps in the last 30 seconds of running a sprint! It was so much fun and I highly recommend trying this during a workout. I could only wish every class could have Matty there; we would all be 10 lbs lighter :)

DJ Matty Matt came in and brought heat to three Saturday evening classes at our OTF-Edina location. There was tons of energy and excitement from our members before, during, and after the event. I would highly recommend GenerationNOW DJs for any sport/fitness event you are putting on. In addition, Tim was very easy to work with and made the experience simple on my end. Basically - they show up and kill it! Thanks again G-NOW DJs... we will be back with you soon!

Went to their dance party at the State Fair this year and it was the highlight of the Fair for me. Ill schedule my state fair day next year around their show!
