“I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.”

“Where can I even begin? Alex wasn’t just our dj, he pretty much helped us create a timeline for our entire day. He was our host, support system and truly helped us throw the best celebration. Our guests LOVED him they are still talking about how awesome our DJ was. For months, we jumped on calls to perfect the experience we wanted and Alex was so incredibly supportive the entire time. A week before our wedding we had to change our wedding and he was one of the first people we called. Within minutes he had lists of places to call. When we figured out a new venue he did everything he could to become familiar with the new space and the owner. We arrived to the reception with our vendors all knowing eachother like they were friends all along - it was so unified like one family coming together. Alex was the glue that made our event as magical as it was. There truly isn’t anyone like him we are forever grateful.”

Luniks Entertainment Inc

Rating: 5.0 (69 reviews)

“From the very beginning, Daniel exceeded every expectation. Daniel was extremely organized and followed up immediately after every meeting, which gave us so much confidence throughout the planning process. As an interracial couple blending of our cultures was important to us and having a bilingual DJ and MC was a non negotiable. Daniel was the perfect fit. He was very fairly priced and offered everything we were looking for, including CO2 guns, a Photobooth with an attendant, and the ability to personalize the Photobooth experience for our guests — all of which ran incredibly smoothly. It was helpful to have all of these things through one single vendor rather than multiple people to coordinate. What truly set him apart was how intentional and thoughtful he was with our music. He helped us create a detailed plan that included songs we loved, songs we didn’t want played, and the exact timing for everything. Most importantly, he seamlessly blended both of our cultures throughout the night in a way that felt natural and effortless. Our dance floor was full the entire night. He also communicated directly with our wedding planners to ensure the timeline was perfect, which allowed the day to flow without a single hiccup. If you are looking for a DJ who is organized, professional, culturally aware, and knows how to keep the party going all night long, we could not recommend him more!!”

Cannot speak highly enough of Drew; from the planning all the way through the actual event, he was on top of every detail. It is pretty rare to find someone who is both extremely professional/organized AND has the creative skillset that Drew has. He was really able to feel the pulse of the event & keep the party going, the dance floor was packed the whole night. Excellent emcee work as well throughout the day and into the evening, even with some unexpected last-minute changes. We have been getting compliments left and right from our guests about how fantastic our DJ was... and we agree! While we were really happy with all of our vendors, Crimson Events was hands down the best-spent money of the entire wedding experience. 5 stars!!”

Love Ent By Milk Majer

Rating: 5.0 (31 reviews)

“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.”

Daryl was awesome and had great communication with us the entire process. All of the logistics were handled seamlessly - from the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to reception, to after hours DJ. We appreciated that they traveled to Wisconsin for our wedding! It was truly a treat for us and our guests. We received so many compliments on how awesome our music was!

Funktastic Productions

Rating: 5.0 (18 reviews)

“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”. I also used Funktastic for our photobooth service and it was one of the most popular parts of the wedding. People lined up at one point to take pics- and I was thrilled with the quality of the designs and service. Funktastic Productions provided incredible value and high quality entertainment that made our wedding celebration truly unforgettable. We can't recommend them enough!”

“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 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.

DJ One Chance Events

Rating: 5.0 (13 reviews)

“Just to preface - I take wedding dance floors extremely seriously. I think it is make or break for the reception. My fiancé and I were trying to keep costs as low as we could and had our eyes on a few other DJ’s that were within our price range and had been good at other weddings until I stumbled on DJ One Chance. I knew from the second I saw his Instagram that I needed to have him at our wedding. His energy, charisma, and ability to read the room is incredible. He was a bit out of our original price range (which was very low to begin with, keep in mind) and I can absolutely tell you that he is worth every single penny. Every planning meeting we had with him got us more and more excited to have him with us on the day of. He listened to the vibe and energy we were going for and could not have done a better job. My parents were blown away that for a bit of a tight dance floor and 200 guests, the dance floor was PACKED from 8:30 - Midnight. Some quotes we received from friends were “I haven’t danced that much at a wedding in a long time” - Rick, 59 years old and “Your DJ was insane. He knew which songs were hits with the crowd and kept the energy going” - MK, 30. He was a hit with every age group and we are forever indebted him for creating the dance floor of our dreams. I have never seen so many people compliment a wedding DJ or a dance floor so passionately. DJ One Chance worked with us seamlessly to make sure we were able to have the best day ever. He even let us request one more last song after the “last song” that we picked ourselves didn’t hit as hard as we wanted. If you want the best dance floor experience for your wedding - this is your guy. Could not recommend any more.”

The RCP Band

Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)

“We couldn’t love Robby more! From our first exploratory conversation to our final dance, Robby knew exactly what we needed to create an energized and fun vibe for our wedding. He was so personable and professional, and his genuine approach made us feel instantly at ease. Wedding planning can be stressful, but this was one area we never had to worry about once we had Robby and the RCP on board. On our special day, they truly exceeded every expectation. The music was fantastic, and they perfectly read the crowd, playing a mix of hits that kept the vibe upbeat and fun all night long. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how amazing the RCP band was, and they truly made the night unforgettable. If you want a band that will bring the party and keep everyone engaged, this is the one! A huge thank you to Robby and the RCP for making our wedding so special!”

Paul Michaels Events DJ and Photobooth Company

“We made a great decision to go with Paul Michaels Events for our wedding! Paul was involved every step up the way up to the wedding. Their portal made setting up our timeline super easy as well as making sure all our songs we wanted to hear were on our list. We even had several meetings to go over everything and were able to get answers to any of our questions. The day of the wedding, Paul made sure everything lined up with our timeline and even helped make a few last minute changes. I'd highly recommend Paul Michaels Events for your wedding or really any event that may require a DJ.”
