04.25.2026 we had our wedding at Bayview. Unico did an absolute amazing job. He exceeded my expectations in so many different ways. I had very precise instructions on how I wanted dinner to go (rnb sing a long style) and instead of delivering just that, he had everyone up dancing to the rnb play list. When I tell you, I was in complete shock at how someone can read the room so perfectly. He truly is one of a kind. Thank you for putting him on for my wedding. He will be highly requested for any event moving forward.

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★ 173 Google Reviews Genesis took our wedding to the absolute next level - they managed music throughout the night, ranging from a string quartet at ceremony to a jazz trio at cocktail hour to percussion / DJ (Raz) / MC at reception. Damian and Angelina at Genesis totally understood our lofty assignment of a tri-cultural wedding with Persian, Indian, American music. They gave extra prep to the ethnic musics ahead of time, reviewing our song lists and listening/prepping sets. Angelina helped us design our custom DJ booth to match the room. Huge thanks to Damian for bringing our wedding to life. We got so much positive feedback from guests and the dance floor was packed the entire night!
Read on GoogleWe had an incredible experience with Genesis Events from start to finish. They were the preferred vendor for our venue, and I can see why! We initially met with Dario who gave us our proposal and all the information we needed to make a decision. The meeting with him was so thorough! Throughout the planning, Angelina (name twins!!) was our contact, and she was great! She helped finalize all the little details during our final meeting (which was great because I am so indecisive) and came up with such a pretty design for our Photo Booth! The night of the wedding was amazing. Fabio was our MC and DJ Raz was our DJ. They were both fantastic! Fabio was fun and kept the energy up for all of our guests. He did a great job getting everyone up and dancing for the Tarantella! Before the guests came into the reception room, he quickly went over all the details with us to make sure everything went smoothly. The music provided by DJ Raz was great! We danced so much, our dance floor was never empty, right through to the final song of the night. He played all of our "must haves" and quite a few of our "inspo" list, and some that I didn't even think of but were perfect for our crowd of guests! Truly a wonderful experience with Genesis Events, thank you so much!!
Read on GoogleGenesis events did such an amazing job on our wedding on 8/24/23!! Damian, the dj, and the violinist were all so awesome and we've gotten a ton of compliments from guests telling us it was the most fun they have ever had at a wedding, and genesis events was definitely a huge part of that. I was so nervous beforehand and asked a million questions, all of which were answered promptly and Damian was so awesome at putting my mind at ease. Thank you so much!!!

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.
