Mike was so great to work with--my guests are still telling me how fun the dance floor was and how impressed they were with the variety and selection of music. Mike knows how to keep people engaged and entertained and we loved how he mixed songs together and kept people on their toes (literally). He is very professional and accessible, and he made an amazing effort to listen to my vision of the ceremony/reception music and absolutely made my vision a reality -- more so than I thought would be possible. Thank you for making our day that much more magical!

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!

We hired Crimson Events for live music and DJ services and it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Drew was professional, courteous, and attentive through the entire process. In full transparency, when we began our search we had never hired a DJ before so we really didn’t know what to expect. Drew went above and beyond and absolutely blew away any expectation we had. He truly listened to what we wanted when curating a playlist and offered his artistic opinion and MC services to help the evening flow. Our Venue Coordinator even made a point to tell us how easy Drew was to work with and that she would love to have more events with him. Numerous guests have told us he’s the best wedding DJ they’ve ever seen. In addition to the amazing music, he even made a reel of clips from the night which is such a cool keepsake to have - and let me say he got the people movin! Seriously, if your in the market for a DJ, Drew should be your first (and only) call. We absolutely hope to have another event with him. Thank you so much Drew!

Planning can be so hectic lol So it was nice to get reminders on tasks we needed to complete to make sure Daniel was prepared for exactly what music we needed. Everything went smoothly the day of the party and Daniel was on top of everything we needed, including being the MC. He kept people on the dance floor and everyone had a great time! Would definitely recommend this company!

Funktastic Productions Llc.

5.0

Chicago, IL
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $10,000

The name Funktastic is more than a genre of music - it’s a tight-knit family of stellar talent with a finely and meticulously curated repertoire spanning every style of music. 6-15 Piece Bands, Live DJ Hybrids, Photo Booths, and more, Funktastic is reserved for those who have a refined musical taste and need for having the best night of their lives. A collection of Chicago's finest black voices, musical authenticity comes from within the music. Musical authenticity comes from what's within the music. By tributing legendary artists with inclusion and diversity, we help preserve the African-American art form of Motown, Hiphop, Pop, and more!

It’s been 2 months since my wedding and I still have no words… Funktastic is by far the best wedding band I’ve ever heard (and yes, I’m biased so take it from the nearly 30 guests that told us the same)! Mike was so fantastic to work with, answering all of my many questions and putting me at ease. Amber was so incredibly organized and beyond helpful in working with us to create the perfect setlist. And now the band… while I was referred to Funktastic by some friends and coworkers, the thing that really sold me was the energy that the band brings, the band members’ MANY masters degrees in jazz (like what, music theory is so hard!!), and their insane ability to captivate an audience with their talent. Our singers were some of the best that I’ve ever seen, putting in these incredible riffs and belts that is practically unfathomable. Our band members were so in sync, vibing off of each other and putting a unique spin on every song. Needless to say, if I have any excuse to book a band for an event, I will 100% come back to Funktastic. Mike, Amber, and the entire band - thank you so much for making our music vision come to life! (Here’s to hoping all of our friends book you guys so we can keep seeing you perform)
