Madcap production review Pros: Effective and thorough communication Accommodating Easy going Friendly Professional Organized Flexible Cons: None I hired Madcap Productions for my wedding. Andrew was wonderful before and on the day of. I met with him prior to the wedding to go over details. He helped me outline how the night should go and brought to my attention things I hadn’t thought about. He did all this is a way that was comfortable and helped keep me sane. On the day of he did a great job with the music and all the lighting and was easily able to keep the flow of the night going and was flexible when adjustments needed to be made. He also went the extra mile during setup and helped my friends decorate when other people bailed. I would highly recommend him for any event!

FAQs

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I graduated from Ball State University's Music Media Production program whose curriculum encompasses live and studio sound, electronic maintenance and interfacing, lighting production, and various related classes. Additionally, I have spent several years volunteering at venues and festivals to gain experience in event production before I ventured into producing events myself (and now have done over 100 independently since).
How did you get started doing this type of work?
In mid-2012, I started a group for music producers to develop their work that led into founding my first music festival in Muncie, IN (where I went to college). After that first event, I became fascinated with every facet of event production and snowballed into many different events including trivia, stand-up comedy, art galleries, and (of course) bigger musical events. Throughout those projects, I not only acquired a vast sum of experience, but also the equipment to produce those projects on my own without any rental assistance. At the end of 2017, I decided to add weddings to the repertoire of experiences and never looked back.
