The Best Americana Wedding Bands in Carlinville, IL

“We could not recommend a better DJ for our wedding! We got married April 5, 2024 (so sorry for the delayed review!) and Matt was so helpful from day one of talking with him. We live in FL and he’s in Missouri, where we had our wedding and he was always quick to answer my emails and I never felt like all of my questions were ever bothering him. Matt met with us a few times to go over the songs, lights, expectations, and organization of how the songs fit into the sequence of our special day. He made the process so easy and made himself available to meet in the timeframes that we able to fly home and at a place that was convenient. Since he helped reduce stress in the beginning planning stages and he’s so personable, I knew he would be a great fit for our wedding! And… he was a wonderful DJ! The music was perfect, he didn’t play anything that we didn’t want to hear and everything that everyone loved! We picked out most of the songs we wanted during the evening and he played them without question, plus some perfect fitting songs that the guests would love! We are pretty picky people and Matt did a great job fulfilling the DJ role with our requests and making the night just absolutely lovely!!! There were no instances of equipment/technology failure, which is always a plus, he showed up early to set up and his pricing was better than other quotes I received. His voice was clear and professional, appearance was wedding appropriate, and execution of his DJ skills to make our night magical filled with great music and dancing was fantastic!!! Thank you, Matt for playing your role in making the best day of our lives so memorable!”

We are already looking for the next excuse to hire Ultimate Beats for an event again! They are incredible and so easy to work with! Also, we asked for the CO2 cannon in our package which was a HIT.

“We hired Rachel as our DJ and Day of Coordinator for our September 2024 wedding and it was the best decision we made. Our wedding simply would not have been the same without her. She prompted us on the right questions for things we never would have considered, and was a huge help in guiding us on the timeline of events. She executed everything with a cool confidence, and we received so many compliments on how fun the wedding was and how smooth the event went. Rachel made herself reachable to our close friends and family, and made sure that we got to enjoy our day and not be tied up in all the logistics. She was flexible, prompt, and wasn’t afraid to take charge of the situation. On top of the coordination, Rachel was a thoughtful and energetic DJ and emcee!

“From the moment we met with Franco, we knew we were in good hands for our wedding. We quickly vibed with him and had similar music tastes. From start to finish, Franco kept the energy high! One of the biggest worries for any couple planning their wedding is whether or not the guests will enjoy themselves. Well, thanks to Franco and his Show Me Sound team, that worry was completely alleviated since our dance floor was packed the entire night. Franco had a keen sense of timing, knowing exactly when to slow things down for those heartfelt moments and when to ramp up the excitement to keep the party going strong. His ability to read the crowd and adjust the music accordingly truly made our reception unforgettable! Beyond his musical talents, Franco was also incredibly professional and easy to work with.
