With years of experience under his belt, Alex helps newlyweds across the country celebrate their new chapter, creating personalized playlists that have everyone dancing all the way home.

My wife and I contacted Alex as we found his business on weddingwire. Once we reached out, Alex responded fairly quickly and a call was scheduled. He was very patient with us and very transparent of how he runs things as the DJ. DJ’s can really make or break your wedding and we wanted to ensure that we had someone good lined up. Alex was very specific on what his expectations were, which really put us at ease. During the planning process, he was extremely helpful in helping us make some decisions regarding what to have and what not to have. Alex surpassed both of our expectations on the actual day. The wedding flow was extremely smooth and he worked with us for our playlist. I would 15/10 recommend Alex. He is an amazing DJ for all your needs. Thanks again Alex!

DJ KJ absolutely killed it!!! We had a unique multi floor venue where sound was needing in more than one place and he did an amazing job making it work. We had some small hiccups with speeches/ the microphones but I think that was more of us not knowing how close to hold the mic while we speak. There were a few changes throughout the day on my part and KJ was amazing at adapting and pivoting to what I was wanting. As far as announcing goes, he did a fantastic job with names and bringing the energy. As the night went on, he truly read our crowd and figured out what songs our group enjoyed and he did an amazing job at that. We got raving reviews from all of our guests about how great the DJ was. Thank you for making our day even more special!!! Highly recommend!!!

Davis & Company Productions

Freeport, IL
  • DJ

Davis & Company Productions was birthed in a time of uncertainty during the pandemic shutdown of 2020. After years of being in the hospitality and service industry and quite a few weddings, I definitely found my passion for people only growing the more I got into it. From weddings and school dances to corporate and private family events, my goal with Davis and Company is to help create and execute magical moments meant to last a lifetime

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved our experience with Davis & Company! We are both small business owners, and we've both spent time working in the wedding industry to one extent or the other. So trust us when we say the professionalism of Lance and his attention to detail is unlike anything we've seen from a wedding DJ. Our discovery meeting was just that! We discovered everything we didn't have planned for our audio needs, which was humbling because we felt we had solid experience, as mentioned above. Lance walked us through step by step and ensured we felt fully prepared by the end of the meeting. He also worked with us to establish the vibe we wanted for the reception and the party! And yes, we mean vibe; trust us. If you want a wedding DJ you can trust to put on a great party and be there for what you need and make the process professional and painless, then look no further than Davis & Company!

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.

We were absolutely thrilled with Funk Almighty at our wedding, especially with their incredible rendition of a Taylor Swift song!!! When we mentioned our love for Taylor Swift, the band went above and beyond and created an entire medley of her hits. This wasn’t just another wedding band playing covers, it became a whole show that added their unique funk twist. I can’t begin express how cool it was to watch our request come to life like that!! Daryl and the team's ability to transform our simple request into such an elaborate and memorable piece was incredible. Easily the highlight of the evening. And it was such a personalized touch that made our special day even more unforgettable. Aside from that working with them was a breeze. The rest of the night was great too but I really can’t overstate how much we appreciate them for going above and beyond with our request. That’s true talent and creativity so we can't recommend them enough for their exceptional service and making our wedding one of a kind! *Original review posted on theknot.com https://www.theknot.com/marketplace/funk-almighty-chicago-il-2062080

She was so professional, quick with communication, had a huge repertoire to choose from (everything from Christian hymns to classical to pop), and helped guide us on what music we needed for the ceremony. My guests loved her playing. The best part is I didn't have to worry about her at all, which is huge when you have 10 other vendors to coordinate. I'm so glad I found her.

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!

Our extensive experience will assist you with the outline planning for your Memorable Event. The Park Avenue Orchestra, featuring dynamic performances through high energy and enthusiasm. We invite you to visit our new website for all the exciting details of our services, at www.parkavenueorchestra.com

I truly don’t know where to begin to thank Park Avenue Orchestra for the most perfect wedding day we could have ever asked for. From the moment we booked them to the very last (encore) song on the dance floor, Hank and the Park Avenue Orchestra made everything easy, seamless, and most of all SO. MUCH. FUN! I have seen Park Ave perform at 2 other weddings, but nothing compares to booking them for your own wedding. There were many “best” things about working with Park Avenue, but something that was so unbelievably special to us was the custom songs they learned for us for our first dances. Our song as a couple is Shut Up and Dance by Walk the Moon and they created a slowed down version of it for us to dance our first dance to. It still brings me to tears when I watch our wedding video, it was just so beautiful and perfect. They also learned a Josh Groban song for my husband and his mom that was so special. For my dad and I, they not only learned a new song, but they created a transition from a nice slow Frank Sinatra song and went straight into Jump in the Line so we could start a conga line. It was AMAZING and such an awesome way to open the dance floor! However, the best part of the whole night was Park Avenue’s rendition of Shout. WOW. I don’t have enough words to describe the fun, energy, and EPIC DANCE PARTY that happens when Ricky Rainbow sings shout. Looking back at our wedding video, I think EVERYONE was on the dance floor! I actually got so “low” that I laid down on the dance floor in my wedding dress lol It was EPIC and a moment we will never forget!!! I think we’ve watched it about 25 times since we got our video haha Aside from Shout, the band brought my dad up to play drums, they brought my sister and I up to play cowbell…they really know how to get the crowd involved and make it a night full of the best memories. Hank made the wedding planning process so easy, simple and seamless. He thoroughly explained everything to us and made the planning process stress free. By far, he was our absolute best wedding vendor to work with and was our biggest advocate the day of the wedding- even bringing my mom a drink (or 2) when the venue didn’t quite do things right. He ensured our big day went perfectly and if there were any issues on the band/music/lighting/audio front, we never had to deal with it or even heard anything about it. He is a true professional! Thank you Park Avenue for creating the soundtrack to the best night of our lives, it wouldn’t have been the same without you!

Felix & Fingers was the best addition to my wedding! We had a BLAST. It’s the best mix between a live band and sing along karaoke (but you don’t want your uncle to get the mic, you know?). 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!

Clife does a great job getting the bride and groom involved and he is very interactive with the audience. Clife worked behind the scenes with my husband and my daughter. They planned a choreographed dance which included several songs that he edited to make the timing work with their dance moves. It was a surprise to everyone and turned out awesome.

Anna is an incredibly talented violinist! We hired Anna to play violin during the ceremony at our wedding. We were initially only going to have the DJ play instrumental music during our ceremony, but ended up deciding to have a violinist instead and it was the best decision! We still had the DJ play some piano back tracks, but Anna blew away our guests. One close friend came up to my mom after the ceremony and said "as soon as the violinist touched her bow to the instrument, I had goosebumps from my feet to my head." Don't hesitate to hire Anna! Nothing quite compares to the "live violin" flare :)

Cuarteto Guataca

5.0

New York, NY
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves DeKalb, 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.

Cuarteto Guataca is AMAZING. Every single member of this group is an absolute joy to work with, and their talent is beyond words! Cuarteto was our wedding band, and I don’t think anyone sat down the entire reception! Hire them now!!
