Joey was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Our ceremony was out in a meadow and the guests absolutely loved his cello playing before the ceremony. It set such a beautiful scene for the location we chose. During our cocktail hour he played more cello but also included some beat boxing and looping, which my guests raved about and thought was so unique. Sadly, as the bride I missed both of these, but when it came to his DJ skills I can attest that he had the party going all night. He listened to what we wanted and mixed up the playlist so that people were on the dance floor until the very end. He was extremely professional to work with and always listened to our wants. If you want an awesome DJ/cellist/beatboxer to make your wedding stand out and keep you guests talking then hire Joey!

We found Jackie after a long search for a vocalist with a distinct sound, and a beautiful voice. Jackie had both and more. When she sings, she lights up the room in the softest way possible. She was super flexible and accommodating and even did a virtual set for us so we could get a true sense of her performance. On our wedding date she stayed a true professional and delivered amazing performances.

We worked with DJ JaronB for our October 2023 wedding ceremony and reception. He was great! There was a thorough planning document provided which helped us break down the music we wanted to hear into sections of the day. We had a beach ceremony and the equipment that was set up for the ceremony was loud enough for us hear the music and what people were saying on the mic even tho the ocean was really loud. The reception was fun! Vibes were great for cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing. We recommend working w DJ JaronB, thanks for adding so much fun to our event!

Right from our initial communication, Jamie was great to work with. He took the time to really understand our musical preferences and the vibe we wanted for our wedding. His attention to detail and dedication to creating the perfect playlist was truly commendable. Prior to the wedding, I had compiled a playlist of 400 songs and was so happy to hear some deep cuts from that list during the wedding. Jamie’s use of vinyl records added a unique and nostalgic touch to the evening. He also seamlessly incorporated our family's cultural music, showing his flexibility and commitment to making everyone feel included and connected to the celebration. During the cocktail hour, our guests were already on the dance floor, and that was all thanks to Jamie's incredible energy and music selection. He had a fantastic ability to gauge the crowd's mood and adjust the music accordingly, ensuring that the dance floor was never empty. In the end, I can confidently say that Jamie was worth every penny. He played a pivotal role in making our wedding a roaring success and the best day ever. His professionalism, talent, and ability to connect with the crowd were second to none. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without him, and for that, we are eternally grateful. If you're looking for a DJ who will exceed your expectations, create a fantastic atmosphere, and leave your guests raving about the music, look no further. DJ Jamie is a true gem and will undoubtedly make your special day even more memorable. Thank you, Jamie, for making our wedding an unforgettable celebration!

Funk Almighty was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!!! From the beginning, Daryl, the band's manager, was a dream to communicate with – always quick to respond and incredibly accommodating to our needs. On the big day, they exceeded our expectations with one heck of a performance. Their setlist was a hit, blending different genres to cater to our very diverse group of guests. We gave them a heads up and they brought hits from the 70's all the way through the 2000's. What really set them apart was the band's chemistry and enthusiasm were infectious! They were having just as good a time we were and that made the dance floor the place to be all night! Despite a minor sound glitch at the start, they handled it with utmost professionalism. Their performance was a major highlight of our celebration that left us and our guests thoroughly impressed. We would wholeheartedly recommend Funk Almighty for their talent, but even more so the joy they'll bring to your wedding!!!! *Original review posted on theknot.com https://www.theknot.com/marketplace/funk-almighty-chicago-il-2062080
