Magnificent Events, Ltd.

Dave Calzaretta began his career in the entertainment industry in 1998, when he founded the award winning national cover band Maggie Speaks.  Performing over 2,000 shows over the past 13 years across the globe, Dave gained exposure to all facets of the entertainment community through his work at corporate events, weddings, charity galas, country clubs, festivals and nightclubs. In 2000, Dave left the corporate world to pursue a full-time career in the entertainment industry, founding Magnificent Events.  He quickly established himself as one of the top talent buyers for nightclubs and festivals around the Chicagoland area.    With a keen eye for talent and a strong business background, Dave was able to build Magnificent Events into a company that helps clients secure top quality professional entertainment and production for their events.  Magnificent Events currently books over 5,000 dates annually and is the exclusive talent buyer for 7 different night clubs, 15 different festivals and numerous corporate and private clients.  Between 2006 and 2007, Dave added two bands to the Maggie Speaks musical family with the creation of the bands Spoken Four and Final Say.  Collectively the bands in the Maggie Speaks musical family perform over 450 shows a year in the private, corporate, wedding, festival and nightclub markets.
