GenerationNOW were great to work with in planning for our wedding. We knew we wanted the best DJ we could find to ensure our wedding was a party all night long! DJ Mad Mardigan delivered just that! The dance floor was packed the entire night, as he played hit after hit. Guests repeatedly commented that it was the best wedding party they had been to! And many commented that their feet were sore the next day...the sign of a great night of dancing! And do yourself a favor - get the cold sparklers! They added an extra special touch of cool to the night!
