Everything was perfect. Justin was the best and I will be referring him to all my friends. He was thoughtful, always checked in on us, made sure we were good on food and drinks, and confirmed the timeline with us. He made sure we liked the music, took good requests from guests, and kept everyone happy and dancing. I could not have asked for a better DJ and production - everyone was telling me how much they enjoyed the DJ. Thank you all again!

When we figured out a new venue he did everything he could to become familiar with the new space and the owner.

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!!!

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!

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.

I collaborate with the couple to find just the right pieces/songs for their special day!

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.

Nicky Avalo Studios is AMAZING. DJ Redd kept the dance floor filled all night long. I was one of the crazy brides who had a veryyyyy long must play list and he did a great job at playing the songs that kept people singing & dancing. From the very start, it was such an easy process!! Nicky was so so helpful. I filled out the document and everything I asked for was done. Before the wedding, I had actual nightmares about who would DJ my wedding (no idea why… just mustve been what I was most nervous for?! LOL) and WOW those nightmares were all wrong. DJ Redd is the best & even joined us on the dance floor! Seriously I cant say enough good things.

We are SO thankful we met Stephen at a bridal expo back in January; he was warm, professional, and genuinely invested in making our wedding day vision come to life! Having both DJ & photobooth services in one made planning so much easier. His online planning tool was a lifesaver for organizing our music, timeline, and vibe. He stuck to our playlist perfectly and kept the dance floor alive until the last minute! Stephen was also amazing with the photobooth; he allowed us to use our own backdrop, helped customize the design, & even provided a photo guestbook on the day of (which saved us when we accidentally forgot ours!).
