We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ and MC for our wedding! They were so easy to work with and made the entire process stress-free. We loved being able to customize our playlist and have the music reflect our style and vision for the day. They did an amazing job reading the room, keeping the energy just right, and making sure everyone had a great time on the dance floor. As our MC, they kept everything flowing smoothly and helped make the entire evening feel seamless. They truly played a huge part in making our wedding so special and memorable. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a DJ and MC who are professional, accommodating, and know how to keep the party going!

Dancing on a cloud, cold sparklers, snow and CO2 — the moments guests film, produced safely by the team already running your night.
A touch of drama, timed to the second
The first dance on a floor of cloud. Cold sparks rising as you walk in. Snow falling on the last slow song. Special effects turn a moment into the photograph everyone remembers — when they are cued to the music, sized to the room and cleared with the venue in advance.
Genesis produces effects as part of the entertainment, not as an add-on from a separate vendor. Your DJ and MC know exactly when the cloud rolls or the sparks fire, because they are the ones calling it.
Theatrical-grade enhancements
Each effect is cued by your DJ and MC and approved with your venue ahead of the day.
Dancing on a Cloud
A low-lying cloud across the dance floor for the first dance — dry, safe and gone by the next song.
Snow
Gentle indoor snowfall over a first dance or a winter send-off.
Cold Sparklers & CO2
Cold-spark fountains and CO2 blasts for grand entrances and the peak of the dance floor, subject to venue approval.
Bubbles & Send-Offs
Bubbles, sparkle and the final-song effects that make an exit feel like a finale.
Planned with the venue, cued with the music
Every effect is confirmed with your venue in advance — where it can be used, what the room allows and how it is cleared afterward — so nothing is a surprise on the day.
Then it is built into the timeline: the cloud rolls as your first dance begins, the sparks fire on the downbeat of your entrance song, the snow starts on the line you chose. Effects, lighting and music from one team, on one cue sheet.
Moments, in motion
The cloud, the cannons and the names in lights, as guests saw them.

4.9★ 195 Google Reviews We hired Damian and Genesis for our wedding, and they truly went above and beyond with all the bells and whistles! From our perfect GRAND ENTRANCE, they made every guest feel like a superstar. Everyone got to walk the red carpet and have their picture taken, and the photos made such a fun favor for everyone to take home. The vinyl photos of us on the doors were AMAZING, and the smoke machine for our first dance, along with our names shining on the dance floor, made every moment feel so special. Every little detail was perfect. And then there’s Damian! His attention to detail, professionalism, and that cute smile made everything even better. 😂 He made sure everything ran smoothly and helped make our wedding day absolutely perfect. I was so impressed that I recommended Damian to friends who were getting married at the same venue, Sand Castle — and he was just as spectacular! Damian emceed their wedding, and the energy, music, and entertainment had everyone on the dance floor ALL NIGHT. If you’re looking for someone who will make your event unforgettable and truly treat your guests like stars, I highly recommend Damian and Genesis! You will not be disappointed! ❤️
Read on GoogleGenesis Events was the ABSOLUTE BEST for our wedding at the Ravel Hotel! Damian was our MC and Yianni was our DJ, and they were both incredible. The team was so easy to work with. They set up calls, answered every question without hesitation, and used everything we put into the app. They exceeded our expectations in every way! No one sat down the entire wedding, and we are still hearing from guests about how amazing the music was! We couldn’t recommend Genesis Events more! All our love, Gia and Stephen
Read on GoogleWe cannot say enough amazing things about Genesis Events!! We had our wedding last night, and the music was absolutely INCREDIBLE! From start to finish, everything was exactly what we wanted and more. The dance floor was packed, and we had so many guests coming up to us throughout the night telling us how much they loved the music! DJ Ikonic was AMAZING! He knew exactly what to play to keep everyone dancing and the energy going all night long! MC Joseph was AWESOME too! He brought such great energy and made the entire night so much fun! A special thank you to Angelina for making the entire planning process so easy and stress-free! She listened to every little thing I had to say, answered all my questions, and truly made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. I appreciated that more than she knows! The entire team truly went above and beyond to make our wedding night unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a better team, and we are so grateful! Thank you, Genesis Events, for making our wedding the BEST NIGHT EVER!! ❤️

Special Effects — FAQs
Which special effects do you offer?
Dancing on a cloud, cold sparklers, snow, CO2 blasts and bubbles are our core effects, each produced with professional equipment and cued by your DJ and MC.
Are cold sparklers allowed indoors?
Cold-spark machines produce a low-temperature effect designed for indoor use, but every venue sets its own policy. We confirm approval with the venue before adding them to your plan.
Will dancing on a cloud set off alarms or leave the floor wet?
The cloud is a dry, low-lying effect made for ballrooms. We coordinate with the venue on placement and ventilation and it clears within minutes of the dance ending.
Who operates the effects on the night?
The Genesis production team, working from the same timeline as your DJ and MC — so the effect lands exactly on the moment you planned.
Can effects be added to a DJ package?
Yes. Effects are added to your entertainment package and priced by which effects you choose and how many moments they cover.
How far in advance should we decide?
Ideally when you book, and no later than a month before the wedding, so venue approvals and the cue sheet are settled well ahead of the day.
