DJ Fidel

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,950
  • Serves Carpentersville, IL

I'm Fidel, a Chicagoland wedding DJ and MC with 19 years behind the decks. My job is simple: a packed dance floor and a day that feels 100% like you. Planning is where great weddings start. We'll meet on video calls, and I'll give you my shared planning worksheet for your ceremony, entrances, must-plays, and do-not-plays, so every detail is locked in before the day. Need a custom edit, an instrumental for a live singer, or mics for your officiant? I've got you.

“DJ Fidel was an absolute class act for our wedding. His open communication was amazing! He likes to meet on video call and even has a worksheet to help get everything set for the special day. Fidel was MC’ing for us and was incredibly flexible. When I brought up connecting my sibling’s instruments for the ceremony he immediately offered to help. For our wedding we did Welcome drinks before the ceremony, Cocktail hour after, and the reception. We wanted each part to have its own kind of music and he killed it. I think everyone hopes that the DJ that they choose is able to bring the vibes they want and ensure that everyone is having a great time. DJ Fidel was without a doubt that person.”

“From the fist consult call to the day of our wedding, John made sure we felt heard and understood our vision for the day. He was always reachable when we had questions and showed real flexibility as we made changes to our plans. On the wedding day, John and David (the cellist) went above and beyond what we expected! They coordinated all of our music seamlessly and even created a special monogram on the wall that tied our whole reception together. Their organization and attention to detail made everything run smoothly, and both of them were an absolute joy to work with. We can't recommend them highly enough to couples looking for a DJ and entertainment team that truly cares about making your day special.”

“If you're looking for a DJ who goes above and beyond, Mike is your guy. From start to finish, he was the definition of professional. Responsive, organized, and genuinely invested in making the day perfect. Communication was excellent throughout the entire planning process. Mike made sure to walk through the venue with us ahead of time so that every logistical detail was locked in well before the big day. He handled all the traditional wedding DJ responsibilities flawlessly, but he also embraced our more unique requests without hesitation. We asked him to play video game lo-fi music during cocktail hour and dinner, and he absolutely nailed it. We're also huge fans of metal and rock, and we were initially worried that might not translate well to a wedding dance floor. He was able to mix those songs in live and keep the energy high all night. It turned out to be one of our favorite parts of the reception, and honestly something we weren't sure we'd get to experience. On top of everything else, our guests couldn't stop complimenting his work. He kept the floor packed and the vibe exactly right from beginning to end. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out, and we recommend Mike without reservation.”

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.

“Nick and his team were the first vendors we booked once we set our wedding date! We knew we loved his style from my sisters wedding and we HAD to have them apart of our wedding day. He’s professional, so energetic, and goes above and beyond in every aspect! Nick and his team brought us our first drinks of the night, we’re so attentive to where my husband and I were during the reception - If we left the room for a moment, he didn’t play any of our requested songs he knew we’d want to be present for! The biggest compliment we receive from our wedding guests is still about Nick and the music - songs were played for just the right amount of time and he does an amazing job of keeping the energy up ALL NIGHT. One of my main goals for our reception was keeping the dance floor packed the whole time and Nick did just that. I honestly can’t say enough amazing things about Nick and his team at Impulse Entertainment. Impulse Entertainment is the vendor I recommend first to any of my friends once they get engaged. Thank you for giving us an amazing experience, Nick and team!”

The New Vintage Strings quartet played the ceremony and cocktail hour for our wedding on Saturday, June 15th, 2024, and were a massive hit for all who attended. Their resources were user-friendly, and their repertoire was expansive. The New Vintage Strings quartet were also willing to find the sheet music for a song that was not on their list of songs. It was an absolute pleasure to work with New Vintage Strings and relatively cost-friendly given how expensive live music can be, particularly for weddings. I highly recommend having New Vintage Strings play your wedding or event where music may be appropriate.

I started DJing in 2017 while attending the University of Iowa. What began as a curiosity quickly became something I was passionate about. Since then, I’ve spent years DJing throughout the Chicago suburbs, from bars and nightclubs to weddings and private events. My background has helped me develop an open-format style, learn how to read a crowd, and adapt throughout the night. I bring that same style to weddings—keeping things professional while creating a high-energy, packed dance floor. If you’re looking for a DJ who is professional, personable, and knows how to keep the energy right all night, I’d love to be a part of your wedding.

“Michael did such an amazing job! He was great at communicating throughout the entire process, incredibly personable, and so easy to work with. His DJing skills were phenomenal—he knew exactly when to bring the energy up and when to slow things down. Anytime the dance floor started to get a little sparse, he always had a banger queued up that got everyone right back out there. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. Thank you so much again, Michael! Highly recommend!”

On the day of the wedding, they showed up with top-notch equipment and superior musicians who played with precision and energy. The vocalist's voice was exceptional and really brought the songs to life in a way that had our guests talking about it all night. What impressed us most was how engaged they were with our guests while still making sure my husband and I felt honored and celebrated—they read the room perfectly and kept the energy exactly where we wanted it. Our guests left raving about the band and saying it was one of the best parts of the night, and we couldn't agree more.”

Orchestra 33’s remarkable journey began in suburban Chicago at the swanky Rupert’s 33 Club. For five exceptional years, we had the distinct honor of being the club’s original and exclusive choice for entertainment. An innovative concept indeed, our talented orchestra of vocalists and musicians played four sets a night, five nights a week. Winning numerous accolades from Chicago fans and critics alike prompted the opening of similar Rupert’s clubs in Minneapolis, St. Louis and Atlanta.

“The band did an amazing job at our wedding. We had multiple people compliment them for how well they played. We are glad we went with Orchestra 33!”
