I attended a wedding where Funk Almighty was the band and it was a great time. Being around countless weddings, whether attending or working, I can say that Funk Almighty brought the beats but also kept traditions of a wedding alive. They provided all of their own equipment and have the knowledge to troubleshoot if necessary. Definitely recommend!

Drew from Crimson Events was our DJ for our wedding ceremony and reception. He did an absolutely phenomenal job! He worked with us beforehand to get a feel for us as a couple and what we wanted for our big day. He was very easy to work with both before and during the wedding. He kept our guests engaged and entertained. He was able to accurately read the room and tailor the music to keep everyone happy. When several guests requested karaoke (which was not discussed beforehand) he doublechecked that it was okay with us before moving forward. DJ’s at an event can definitely make or break an occasion. Drew definitely enhanced our wedding experience. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fun DJ.

DRS MUSIC, INC

5.0

Evanston, IL
  • Musician
  • Starts at $5,000

David Rothstein Music was started in 1999. David believes each couple/client deserves to get exactly what they need for their specific event. DRM has a wide variety of ensembles and song choices to make every event meet and exceed your expectations!

We always ranked the music as the number one priority for our wedding, and we’re so glad we entrusted David Rothstein Band to bring our party to life. Planning a wedding during Covid had many challenges, including not being able to see the band live, but thankfully, David has so many live videos available where we can see the entertainment his band delivers day in and day out. Those videos, along with David’s passion for his work, made us confident to chose his team to make our day special. For our wedding, we had a classical duo during the ceremony, a pianist during cocktail hour, a jazz trio during dinner, and an incomparable 10 piece orchestra to dance the night away. From the first note to the final encore, we were BLOWN AWAY with the talent and energy that the band brought. We had a few special requests for the night - from a unique arrangement for our ceremony processional to a mashup of New York songs during the reception - and David’s team was beyond accommodating. We had dancing for 3 hours straight and not once did anyone leave the floor - the band was able to feel the energy in the room and chose the right song for the moment. I stumbled across the ingoing setlist after the party and was actually surprised to see that the band didn’t even stick to the songs they had picked - a sign that they adjusted based on what the crowd was loving. It’s been nearly a month since the big day and people keep telling us how amazing the music was, and we can’t stop watching the many videos David took from the night, reliving the magic that his band created. If you’re thinking about which band to have for your wedding, look no further than the David Rothstein Band - you won’t be disappointed!!

A Chicago based DJ that has worked events in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, New York City, Miami, and Internationally. He likes to draw from from his roots in Houston, New Orleans and current home of Chicago to create a fun atmosphere for his clients. Graduate of Xavier University of Louisiana and Tulane University in New Orleans, this former social worker knows a good party.

DJ Chriss was so great to work with for my husband and I's wedding day. We really took our time to create a more modern wedding playlist from ceremony, to cocktail hour, and into reception as we wanted a more upbeat and lively atmosphere that is in sync with who we are as a couple rather than your standard classic wedding playlist we've heard over and over that we can't really dance to the way we would like. He listened to us and appreciated the list we sent over while understanding our taste and adding some songs to it throughout the wedding day that made for an amazing time that our guests can't stop talking about! -Kristin and Ryan Roberts 6.25.22

started DJ' ing as a kid with old fashion turntables and records about 30 years ago preforming at various dances, parties and events. I became a police officer 20 years ago but just couldn't give up my passion for DJ'ing , so I started up my own DJ company in 2010 and currently "patrol the streets by day and DJ by night" so to speak. Because I have a stable income source, I don't DJ just to make money , and its "not just a job to me". It's my passion! As a result, your event gets 110% of all my effort and attention because I love what I do and care that my clients are always satisfied

Five-O is the way to go! Tom was the best DJ we could have asked for for our wedding. He provides you with great planning materials to set you up for success for your big day, and sits down with you to go over every detail so the day goes without a hitch. Our reception could not have gone any better. Our goal was to have our dance floor packed the whole night, and Tom accomplished just that. He was fun, engaging with our guests, and read the room well to keep the night moving. We would hands down recommend Tom to anyone. Thank you Five-O DJ!!

I got into DJing by accident. After learning that working as an Industrial Engineer in a fortune 500 company didn't bring me much fulfillment, a friend suggested I join his DJ company. His company supplied DJ services for over 200 weddings a year! After my first wedding gig I was hooked. It gave me purpose, and an outlet I never knew was possible. I quickly became the most requested DJ in the company and within my market. Now I DJ on my own, and I'm so blessed to be able to curate an atmosphere of joy where families can connect.

They are both very personable and kind people, I loved working with them and recommend them to others looking for great DJs. We had a lot of Spanish music played and they did a great job mixing the music and everyone enjoyed it. There wasn’t a moment where people weren’t on the dance floor. They also worked well with other vendors with communication and offered tips and advice to our photographer of what would be the best photos to take.

We highly recommend Darrin from Premier Entertainment to be your wedding DJ! Darrin communicated clearly throughout the planning process, kindly reminded us of upcoming deadlines, responded very quickly to questions, helped us upload music selections in the app, and was professional, yet personal. A few weeks before the wedding, we had a meeting to go through details for the reception which we found to be so helpful. Darrin was knowledgeable and experienced which enabled him to give us good insight and direction for some things that still needed to be decided. The quality of the sound was incredible—the music sounded awesome but wasn’t too overwhelming for the room. This was perfect for making the dance floor both inviting and enjoyable for our wedding guests. Our reception space was relatively large so we were concerned about people being able to hear the speeches, so Darrin was able to bring an extra speaker so that everyone was able to hear well. Darrin even created song mixes for our special dances of the night which allowed us to personalize our special dances in a way that was meaningful and sweet to us. He truly went above and beyond every step of the way. Our friends and family were out on the dance floor the whole evening, and we got many compliments on how fun the music was. Additionally, Darrin set up uplighting throughout the perimeter of the room which made the atmosphere even more fun and lively. He even sent us some pictures and videos from the reception that were so fun to flip through and reminisce. We cannot recommend Darrin enough!! Book him for your wedding!

They did beautiful ceremony music, incredible sax jazz during cocktail hour to keep it classy. Then, they kept everyone engaged and entertained for the reception, from my aunt in a walker to my college friends twerking. We danced the night away but lost our voices from screaming along with the songs too. 10/10 you can’t go wrong with dueling pianos - DJs and wedding bands are out, Felix & Fingers is IN!

Honey+Vinyl

Brooklyn, NY
  • Production company
  • Serves Chicago Heights, IL

After years working at a luxury entertainment design company in NYC, I noticed a void in live music, one where planners saw music as the background to the main event rather than something that can guide and elevate it. The bands weren’t listening to the room. We should make deliberate music choices based on the people in it, reacting to them. Not the other way around. My desire to create this harmony sparked the founding of Honey+Vinyl in 2013. Ten years in the industry, she began to dive deeper into the science of sound; how lighting, décor, food and timing interact with music, which drove her to establish the Sonic Sommelier™ service.

We hired Honey & Vinyl for our wedding and liked them so much we had them back for our anniversary party. Honey has an amazing voice and spent time with us to not only create a personalized song list but also understand the "mood" we were trying to create for our events. The group's performance at both events was nothing short of spectacular and really added the extra "wow" we were seeking.

We used for DJ Clife for our wedding 09/2023 and couldn't be happier! When looking for wedding DJs it can be tough to know what you're getting for your money. At first I was cautious as he is on the higher end of price ranges but noticed the higher ratings to match. I would say without a doubt DJ Clife Company was a perfect choice for us! We had several zoom meetings to discuss the vibe and creative view of our day and then focusing more on logistics and specifics for the night. Our wedding had some specific scheduling needs including a 15 minute dance session at the beginning of the reception, 2 dance numbers, choregraphed formal dances and other surprises. Clife Estores delivered on every detail that was needed from the beginning of the day until the end. Using the "Vibo" app helped us drop in songs and add information for our schedule to keep our conversations focused on what was needed - we enjoyed this process. Leading up to the wedding he was quick to respond to e-mails/texts with last minute questions or changed plans. My main concern was finding a DJ who truly mixed the music like you would hear in a club/party atmosphere with the best 2-3 minutes of the song played and rolling right into the next song. I asked for a constant variety of music genres so it didn't fall into that typical wedding format. Clife delivered some of the best music mixes I've ever heard! All of my guests commented on how great the music was and everyone from people who love to dance to those just watching all said how they really felt the party vibe. A couple commented that they planned to leave when the music slowed down and it never did so they stayed all night! He truly set the atmosphere in a positive direction and we had the best night of our lives! If you are unsure of the cost I can assure you he is worth the expense and truly created a great atmosphere for everyone! A few add-ons we used with DJ Clife: Room Uplighting, 4 moving spotlights and 2 sparklers - all enhanced the night! For anyone who has a lot of dancers in their guest list I would suggest looking into the LED dance floor with "Unique Events" in Cedar Rapids, IA. Pricey, but the DJ and dance floor were the most talked about from our guests.

If there’s one thing you should take away from this review, it is this - You should DEFINITELY hire Herbert Holler to DJ your wedding! From the very first phone call, it was obvious that he is someone who loves his job. He has an extensive knowledge and love of music means no matter what you want the soundtrack of your wedding or event to be, he’s got you and your guests of ALL ages covered. He was communicative, easy to work with, clearly invested in making sure we had a great time at our wedding, and that everything ran as smoothly as possible. In fact, at one point, he noticed from behind the booth that we were one man short for lifting someone up in the chair during our extensive Hora. So what did he do? He put his headphones down, ran onto the dance floor, and kept the party going! As a musician and music lover myself, it was hard to trust someone else with the evening’s setlist, but we are so glad we did. He was super keyed into the dance floor, and read the crowd like an expert, always knowing exactly what song to serve up. We danced our aes off and could not have had a better evening. We even rented one of his lighting packages, which he set up to perfection. Herbert, thank you for helping us with our live performances, and for giving us such an incredibly memorable night!!

I looked forward to every Tuesday night when my friends and I would gather at Brother Jimmy’s Murray Hill to watch The Barnstorm and dance until we couldn’t feel our feet. I knew in 2017 that one day I would get married and I wanted to recreate this wonderful feeling that I would get every Tuesday night. WELL, joke’s on me because I got that feeling and more. I do not even have words for the atmosphere that The Barnstorm created on our wedding day. Leading up to that day, Brooks was INCREDIBLY attentive to the hundreds of questions that I bombarded him with on a daily basis. He walked me through pricing, how the first dances would go, what kind of music gets played during dinner – every question came with an immediate follow up and a “how are you doing?” – completely above and beyond what a typical wedding band would provide. And that was before our wedding day even happened! The day of was indescribable. The atmosphere provided by The Barnstorm was absolutely electric and had every single person on the dance floor from 8 pm to 1130 pm. I genuinely feel like our wedding was one of the best concerts I have ever been to. The band is absolutely magnetic. To top it off about one week after our wedding, as we were reliving the day, I get a text message from a friend saying “we booked your wedding band!”. They are THAT freaking good. If you want to have the best night of your entire life PLEASE look no further than The Barnstorm.

My husband and I absolutely love Cage and Aquarium! We utilized them for both photography and DJ services on wedding day. As for our photographers, they were incredible in their photography skills but also in supporting us on wedding day. They helped make the day run smoothly and were efficient in coordinating things such as taking large family photos and enduring our travels around the city between the ceremony and reception. As for our DJ, he was also amazing. He kept the reception running smoothly and was so personable and professional. I couldn't have been more impressed with the music selection our DJ chose -- so many of our guests said that we had the most amount of people dancing at a wedding that they'd seen. I can't recommend C&A enough.

Karl Knutson - Band Or Dj? Get Both!

Lisle, IL
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,259
  • Serves Chicago Heights, IL

I love what I do. I have been singing since age 8 and DJing since 15. I found a way to combine the best parts of music for an amazing wedding experience! People are wowed at the elegance of live music during cocktails as a first impression. Then they are treated to their favorite songs on the dance floor with me as the dj! It’s a perfect balance!

We absolutely loved DJ Karl! He was such a sweetheart and so flipping talented! I had multiple guests asking me for his business card after the wedding. He did such an amazing job listening to what type of music we wanted and making sure he played exactly what he we hoped for. You could tell he cared deeply for his job and was all about providing amazing service. His voice is phenomenal - I would highly recommend him for DJ and band services. Thank you Karl for making our night so special. Everyone had a blast and that was largely because of you. Best DJ EVER! Don't hesitate to hire him! :)

Cuarteto Guataca

5.0

New York, NY
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Chicago Heights, IL for additional fees

Bassist and bandleader Josh Levine got his start in the professional music business busking in SoHo with The Flying Neutrinos in ’93, so when NYC shut down in Spring of 2020, he capitalized on his experience as a street performer and began to play regularly in the parks of NYC with percussionist and sonero, Jainardo Batista, renowned flutist Itai Kriss making his debut on Cuban trés guitar, and María Raquel on vocals and minor percussion. Before long, the quartet had generated some buzz, several venues hired them to play outdoors and pianist Gabriel Chakarji and Grammy winning flutist and vocalist Jeremy Bosch became staples of the group.

I have used Cuarteto Guataca both personally (birthdays, family events) and professionally as a wedding/ event florist and event planner for YEARS. Every time they manage to get everyone on their feet. They are super professional always and extremely easy to work with. Hands down, Josh and his band will always be my first choice for latin entertainment (any entertainment for that matter)!!

They learned a few special songs for our ceremony and reception and put their own special touch on them to make it really special for us. They looked so glamorous and our friends and family are still telling us how unique they were, and couldn't believe how many languages the singer can sing in! This band is truly special and will elevate your wedding. Thank you Carte Blanche for an unforgettable night!

Motor City HDJ

Brighton, MI
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Chicago Heights, IL for additional fees

Motor City HDJ started in 1999 as a way to pay for college. The more of my friends' weddings I attended, the more I realized how many bad DJs are out there in the world. I decided at that point I was going to be the "anti-DJ," committing myself to do the opposite of the things that bad DJs do.

Whew it's tough to put in to words just how incredible it is working with Brett. He is hands down my top referral for couples when looking for a DJ. He puts the couples NUMBER ONE, he ensures the music + vibe are what the couple want, & above all he loves this job. Brett is one to do 1000%, hop on the dance floor for a line dance, throw together new ideas + keeps the evening on schedule. From a photographer stand point, he LOVES working on the team. As long as you communicate the day + work as a team member he ensures you're not missing a thing if you run for a meal or water break. I am a massive Brett fan from all aspects!

I was recommended DJ SoundWaves by someone in a mom group that I am in. I received many recommendations but Brian and his team were my first choice pick. He married my husband and I on his OWN wedding anniversary - I was so thankful and appreciative that he wanted to celebrate our day with us! Brian and his team did an amazing job the day of the wedding, and also the time leading up to the wedding. I had no idea it would be so hard to pick songs (or how many songs we needed) - and Brian was very patient with us and he even gave some suggestions of songs. The day went flawlessly and I would recommend him to anyone in a heart beat! The prices were fair and everything that we paid for, we received!
