I recently had the pleasure of hiring Matt from Clik Entertainment to provide entertainment services for my wedding, and I am delighted to share my glowing review of his outstanding performance.

His attention to detail during the planning process was remarkable, as he took the time to understand our preferences, musical taste, and the overall atmosphere we wanted to create for our special day.

DJ Alex was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, he was attentive, outgoing, and really took the time to understand exactly what we wanted (and what we didn’t!). We met with him several times before the wedding, about four in total, and he guided us through every decision, offered great suggestions, and made sure we felt totally confident going into the big day. On the night of the wedding, he completely nailed the vibe we were going for. We told him we didn’t want the typical “wedding songs”, we just wanted the music we love, even with grandparents in the room, and he delivered perfectly. It was a true millennial dance floor, and our guests absolutely loved it! The energy never dropped, and he kept everyone dancing all night long. Alex truly made our vision come to life, and we couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. If you want someone who listens, cares, and knows how to throw an unforgettable party, Alex is the one!

I don’t know where to start with Dillon and Electric Sugar…. They were incredible. Plain and simple. I worked with Dillon leading up to wedding weekend and he was kind, prompt, professional, and fun. We worked together to create a set list that was perfect for our taste in music. Dillon also played guitar at our ceremony and it was beautiful. He did a combo of guitar and prerecorded music per our request and it was perfect. He brought all the equipment needed for our officiant to have a microphone as well. The Electric Sugar band as a whole played for our reception. We had them for 3 hours and the dance floor was packed for 3 hours. They were so much fun and SO talented!!! It was the best party and they were a huge reason behind it! I would recommend them to anyone for their wedding or any other occasion they are looking to add spice and energy too.

We met Tyler, by chance, through my mom's coworker and were so grateful to have him be part of our wedding ceremony. Tyler performed a number of beautiful acoustic and instrumental songs before, during, and after our ceremony and we couldn't have been happier and more impressed with the level of depth and emotion he brought to one of the most magical days of our lives. Tyler assisted me and my husband with choosing a number of songs from Elton John to Jackie Wilson, met with us both virtually and in person prior to our wedding, and, due to his professionalism and attention to detail of perfecting each song, we have the fondest memories of the light and love that accompanied our ceremony with his soulful music that brought us and our guests happy tears as well as to our feet to sing along in the chapel.

Karl Knutson - Band Or Dj? Get Both! 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,259
  • Serves Addison, 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!

Hiring Karl as the DJ for our son’s wedding was one of the best choices we made. He brought an incredible level of talent, professionalism, and intuition that shaped the entire evening and kept guests talking long after the night was over. From cocktail hour to the final dance, Karl delivered an unforgettable experience that exceeded every expectation we had. Karl arranged a four-piece jazz band for cocktail hour, and it was absolutely phenomenal. The music was elegant, smooth, and beautifully performed. It created a sophisticated, welcoming atmosphere that immediately impressed our guests. People kept stopping to tell us how extraordinary the band was—it truly felt like something you would hear at a high-end jazz club, perfectly setting the tone for the celebration ahead. When it came time for the bridal party introductions, Karl showed just how skilled he is. Every cue, every announcement, and every transition was timed with precision. The introductions were fun, polished, and perfectly matched to the energy of the room. He knew exactly how to build excitement, and the moment felt both organized and electric. It was one of the highlights of the reception. Once the dancing began, Karl took the entire evening to another level. His ability to read the room was remarkable. He adjusted seamlessly to the crowd’s energy, choosing music that kept the dance floor full all night long. He moved between genres and decades without missing a beat, creating a flow that appealed to guests of all ages. Not once did the energy drop—he had the room jumping from the first song to the last. What truly stood out was his professionalism and his genuine investment in making our son’s wedding perfect. He communicated clearly, kept the timeline running smoothly, and handled all announcements with confidence and polish. He checked in at the right moments, stayed adaptable when needed, and made sure that every special moment—first dances, speeches, transitions—landed exactly as they should. Karl didn’t just play music; he shaped the atmosphere and guided the entire evening with expert timing and intuition. He brought enthusiasm without ever overpowering the couple or the event, and he created a joyful, high-energy environment that our family and friends are still raving about. We cannot recommend Karl highly enough. If you are looking for a DJ who is talented, professional, attentive, and truly exceptional at reading a room, he is the perfect choice. Our son’s wedding was unforgettable, and Karl played a major role in making it the celebration of a lifetime.

I found my passion for music at a young age and knew that I was going to make a living doing it someday! I LOVE pleasing people with my piano playing &/or vocal skills and making their day special with the music that I provide and I also perform with a string trio or quartet and a jazz trio or quartet. I collaborate with the couple to find just the right pieces/songs for their special day!

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Robyn to perform at our wedding ceremony, and it was one of the best decisions we made! From the moment the first note played, it was clear we were in the hands of a true professional. She brought such elegance and emotion to the day – every piece was beautifully performed, perfectly timed, and added so much warmth to our ceremony. Robyn spent countless hours with us ahead of time to accommodate all of our music preferences with care and professionalism. She even traveled from out of town to be there for both our rehearsal and ceremony, which meant the world to us. Although we had some “not your norm” song choices, she took the time to learn new pieces just for our wedding. This made the experience feel even more personal. All of our guests commented on how moving and memorable the music was! If you’re looking for someone who is talented, reliable, and an absolute pleasure to work with, we can’t recommend Robyn enough. Thank you for making our big day even more magical!

We found MATS at a friends wedding and knew right away that we wanted them to be our wedding band! They were both affordable as an 8 piece band (but you have many options) & amazing having the wedding guests on the dance floor the entire night! Marlon coordinated everything with us and made it very easy with a template he already built. We let them choose the songs with a few do not play lists. They even let us customize the night including a song they learned for us by our request, singing happy birthday to my maid of honor, & letting my father in law sing a song with the band. It was all so memorable! I would recommend them to anyone, especially if having your wedding in the greater Chicago area!!

HiMotive Entertainment & Photobooth did a great job keeping our wedding reception fun and upbeat. While their communication was a bit delayed leading up to the event, they were ultimately effective in executing on the day-of. The DJ kept the party going all night with a good song selection, though they did play 3 Taylor Swift songs in a row at the start, which we would have preferred more variety. The MC's ad-libs got a little overbearing at times, but overall they did a nice job sticking to the schedule and making important announcements. We'd recommend HiMotive to other couples looking for an energetic DJ.

My husband and I used Direct Entertainment for our DJ and videographer for our wedding and we could not be more pleased!! The team was professional, great at communication, very kind and professional, and they helped make our day absolutely perfect! Jeff, our DJ kept the dance floor alive ALL NIGHT!! When the music had to stop at the end of the night, the dance floor was still completely full and no one wanted it to end. He did a great job announcing the events of the night, made sure that our ceremony music was perfect, and he stuck to our wedding playlist with the exception for a couple guest requests (which we were happy to allow). We were so happy and thankful to have Jeff there! Sie, our videographer also did a wonderful job! We have not yet received our video as our wedding was less than 2 weeks ago, but I already know it is going to be amazing. He was so great with communication, was prompt with his timing, and he even set up a second camera for guests to break away and give us well wishes for our marriage, which I'm so excited to watch back. He was very professional and wonderful to work with. We decided to add videography at the last minute because we thought we might regret not having it, and I am SO happy we asked Jim at Direct Entertainment if they had someone available for our day just a month before, and they did!! Jim, the coordinator at Direct Entertainment frequently checked in with us, asked us questions about ourselves, and genuinely made us feel like he cared about us and our special day. He was great to work with leading up to being assigned our designated DJ and videographer, and even after, he checked in to make sure we were happy and that all of the planning was going well. Overall, we would 1000% recommend Direct Entertainment for any wedding entertainment needs!

He kept our guests engaged and entertained. He was able to accurately read the room and tailor the music to keep everyone happy.

Funktastic Productions Llc. was an absolute hit at our wedding! From the very first interaction, their communication was quick, friendly, and super detailed - they clearly cared about making our day perfect. And that's exactly what they delivered. I chose to have live piano and violin at my ceremony and they sounded beautiful together. They played every song I requested with depth and precision- even the fairly new music (I requested Birds of a Feather for the recessional, and they NAILED it!) They provided mics to the musicians and the officiant stand, which ended up being a lifesaver for us. The DJ and violinist were both fun and talented, keeping the dance floor packed all night long. DJ Servaun in particular did an amazing job matching the vibes, emceeing, and balancing in the moment song requests with a killer playlist. Get the DJ with Musician accompaniment package!! The electric violin player lit up the dance floor & guests LOVED it! Quote: “Best wedding I’ve ever been to! I’ve never been to a wedding where ‘Not Like Us’ got a violin accompaniment”.

They are highly entertaining, have a great repertoire that will be sure to please your audience and definitely get the party started. Daryl and the band work very hard to please and if you have any requests, and it is within their means, they’ll get it for you. I highly recommend them for your next wedding or party or corporate event. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that you will want Funk Almighty at your event.

Hi, I’m Trevor Harris, founder and DJ at Total Harmony Entertainment. I truly love helping couples turn their vision into a celebration they’ll never forget. Your DJ should do more than play music, they should create energy, guide the flow, and make every moment feel effortless. From planning to the last dance, I work closely with you to keep things seamless and stress-free, delivering custom playlists, packed dance floors, and an experience that’s personal, polished, and unforgettable.

Booking Trevor was the best decision for our wedding! Our planner recommended him to us and we really liked him after our first meeting. He has a great app to select music and does great mixing for flawless transitions. We also asked him to mix/cut our parent dance and first dance music and that was not a problem for him. Not to mention he is a fantastic MC and really knows how to work a crowd. He also works great with the planning team to coordinate the announcements for speeches, dances, etc. He is really personable and gets to know your style and vision. I really felt that he thought of every detail and question to ask us so we didn’t miss anything. We really loved working with him and he made it a great experience for us.

We couldn’t have asked for a better band for our wedding! From the very beginning, they were incredibly helpful during the planning process and made everything so easy and stress-free. Communication was excellent throughout. Any questions we had were answered promptly and clearly, and they truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was just right. The performance itself was absolutely amazing. The band brought such incredible energy to the night and kept everyone on the dance floor from start to finish. We’ve received so many compliments from our guests about how great the music was and how much fun they had. The setlist was perfect, and their talent as musicians and entertainers really shone through. A special shoutout to Matt, who was awesome to work with – professional, friendly, and super organized. He made us feel completely confident going into the big day and delivered beyond our expectations. Also, Laura was a fantastic emcee! She kept the flow of the evening smooth and engaging, and her presence added such a polished, personal touch to the event. If you’re looking for a band that will elevate your wedding and create an unforgettable experience, this is the one. We can’t recommend them highly enough!

Mike, Robert and Joey were absolutely phenomenal in all the ways possible!

At Cage + Aquarium, we exist to tell your story. With 18 years and 5,000+ happy clients, we blend music, photography, and film to turn life’s biggest events into unforgettable stories.  We are a modern media brand of storytellers—creating your epic dance floors, stunning images frozen-in-time and cinematic memories that live forever.

From the very beginning, our experience with Cage and Aquarium was seamless and personal. We met with Tyler, the owner, during our initial consultation and were immediately drawn to the story behind the company and their thoughtful approach to pairing couples with the right musical fit. They made the process incredibly easy — from selecting our ceremony musicians (yes, we got our Jurassic Park string moment!) to matching us with the perfect DJ for the reception. The whole process felt curated, organized, and genuinely fun. If you're looking for a unique and personalized music experience for your wedding, we can’t recommend them enough. …And speaking of the perfect DJ — we were lucky enough to be paired with DJ Henny through Cage and Aquarium, and he truly brought the party to life. DJ Henny absolutely nailed the vibe of our wedding. From the moment we started planning, he was professional, communicative, and so in tune with what we wanted. He took the time to understand the flow of the evening and helped create a soundtrack that reflected us perfectly. His MC-ing on the day-of was seamless — he guided us and our guests through each moment with ease and energy. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ and hype man!

WE are Chicago area's grooviest inclusive, female-owned DJ boutique! Our hand picked DJs curate a playlist that will reflect your unique style and get all your guests on the dance floor! We believe that love is love

We booked Groove is in the heart & DJ Clare for our wedding. We had a wide range of music tastes and weren’t sure how it would all come together but Clare handled it effortlessly. She read the room, kept the energy going, and made sure every moment had the perfect soundtrack. From the pre-ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, to the dance floor, everything flowed beautifully. We didn’t have to worry about a thing Clare had it all under control and kept the party going. She covered everything from oldies and Suavemente to Blink-182 and somehow made it all feel cohesive and fun. One moment that really stood out was when we asked to include a specific meaningful slow song that was used as the first dance at my husband’s brother’s wedding. Clare was completely receptive and even offered to call them out before playing it, turning it into a sweet and memorable moment for everyone. Thank you Clare!!!
