Music Mania, Inc. 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,400
  • Serves Clarendon Hills, IL

My career started in 1985 as a single-operating DJ company and I’ve performed at thousands of events in and around Chicago over the past 30+ years. In 2016, I started Photo Mania to accommodate the popularity of photo booths at weddings, corporate events, and social parties. And we’re still evolving to find better and faster photo booth technologies to create that buzz at your event. In my personal life, I was a volunteer firefighter for ten years and just retired from the fire service after a thirty-year career. Through my companies, we donate to various charities and events in and around Chicago to benefit the community.

Dwayne Eriksen is a true professional and is easy to work with. He is well prepared, knows his acoustics, and has the right equipment for both indoor and outdoor venues (unlike many others). I have worked with a vast number of DJs over the years and Dwayne is one of the best. I highly recommend him for your celebration/event.

Jason Taylor Events was the perfect choice for our wedding entertainment.

On the day of the event, they were punctual and didn't miss a single detail, helping to make our wedding day seamless and memorable. Jason and his team made everyone feel welcome and comfortable, and we danced the night away for a full 5 hours at our reception in Naperville. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ service to help us celebrate our special day!

The Good Kidds 

4.7

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Clarendon Hills, IL

A Chicago based DJ that has worked events in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, New York City, Miami, and Internationally. He likes to draw from from his roots in Houston, New Orleans and current home of Chicago to create a fun atmosphere for his clients. Graduate of Xavier University of Louisiana and Tulane University in New Orleans, this former social worker knows a good party.

DJ Chriss was so great to work with for my husband and I's wedding day. We really took our time to create a more modern wedding playlist from ceremony, to cocktail hour, and into reception as we wanted a more upbeat and lively atmosphere that is in sync with who we are as a couple rather than your standard classic wedding playlist we've heard over and over that we can't really dance to the way we would like. He listened to us and appreciated the list we sent over while understanding our taste and adding some songs to it throughout the wedding day that made for an amazing time that our guests can't stop talking about! -Kristin and Ryan Roberts 6.25.22

Reception Entertainment 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,250
  • Serves Clarendon Hills, IL

For owner Mike Yazumbek, DJing is fun and games, but it’s also a lifestyle he has lived and breathed for the past 13 years. Mike got his interest in DJing at age 20 and started out playing friends house parties, then eventually building up a reputation and DJing a the biggest nightclubs in the Chicagoland Area. Pretty Soon, a lot of his friends were getting married and Mike was the first person they thought of. After Djing hundreds of clubs, bars, school dances, private parties and weddings under his freelance name "DJ Mike Y" It was time to finally brand a mobile entertainment company - Reception Entertainment !

Mike did an awesome job at our wedding!! From the start he proved that he would be the one running the wedding, making sure everything ran smoothly. He made sure we stayed on our timeline and made sure photographers were around for cake cutting, first dances, etc. When it came to music, we got nothing but great reviews from our guests! The dance floor wasn’t empty all night! Highly recommend!

Gussied 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Clarendon Hills, IL

Gussied is a full service wedding band that offers ceremony, cocktail, dinner, dancing music, and more. Instead of trying to duplicate a song you've heard on the radio, we "gussy it up" into our own bluegrass inspired own style. We play farms, barns, wineries, swanky lofts, country clubs and everything in between - even summer camps! We also play destination weddings, festivals and private events. No party is too small or too big. We have a professional sound team and various music packages to suit all of your needs.

We hired the duo to play our ceremony. Their modern spin on folk and bluegrass music set the perfect tone for our summery outdoor wedding. They went above and beyond by learning and performing a song I had written for my husband. I highly recommend Gussied!

Cuarteto Guataca 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Clarendon Hills, IL for additional fees

Bassist and bandleader Josh Levine got his start in the professional music business busking in SoHo with The Flying Neutrinos in ’93, so when NYC shut down in Spring of 2020, he capitalized on his experience as a street performer and began to play regularly in the parks of NYC with percussionist and sonero, Jainardo Batista, renowned flutist Itai Kriss making his debut on Cuban trés guitar, and María Raquel on vocals and minor percussion. Before long, the quartet had generated some buzz, several venues hired them to play outdoors and pianist Gabriel Chakarji and Grammy winning flutist and vocalist Jeremy Bosch became staples of the group.

Cuarteto Guataca is AMAZING. Every single member of this group is an absolute joy to work with, and their talent is beyond words! Cuarteto was our wedding band, and I don’t think anyone sat down the entire reception! Hire them now!!

I cannot say enough good things about Local Sounds Entertainment. They were so easy to work with and catered to everything we wanted. We had the photo booth which was so much fun to have at my wedding and I love that I get to keep all of the pictures.
