About Magnificent Moments

The heart of our Wedding Entertainment Team features two dynamic leaders in the entertainment field. This is the team that bride’s reviews rated #1 in Chicago in 2007, and they will both be at your wedding.

JD Harwell received his first public speaking award in 1992. Since then, he has spoken at hundreds of special events, specialized in communication and improvisation, and become a professional wedding coordinator.

Magnificent Moments has negotiated special rates for JD's performance at your wedding. Many of our clients will also have the pleasure of having JD as their personal speaking coach.

Your desire to have a professional speaker and host at your event to ensure that everything is said just right will be met and exceeded by a master in the field. JD will go over toasts with every person speaking at your wedding prior to that day. His highly personalized introductions and familiarity with guests at weddings inject energy, laughter, and purpose to your wedding. JD’s addition to the Wedding Entertainment Team ensures that every word is spoken at a level that a DJ could simply never provide.

Craig Conrad’s musical knowledge shines as he takes your requests and transforms them from a haphazard collection of songs into the soundtrack of the most important night of your life. Having completed numerous entertainment courses including the world renowned FAME Mobile Entertainment Academy, Craig will ensure that the atmosphere created by the audio at your wedding will be exactly what you are looking for.

Beyond that, it’s Craig’s management skills that will ensure that every aspect of your wedding caters precisely to your dream. As a wedding planner, Craig has the skills necessary to provide you with the confidence that you’ll need to look your very best on your special day. Craig was a DJ from 2000-2004 and has been a professional wedding entertainment engineer ever since.
