White Rose Weddings 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $850
  • Serves Crete, IL

So, about us…White Rose Weddings started in 2008 as a small disc jockey company using my initials G.A.C. for the business name. My older sister would poke fun at the fact that my initials spelled “gac” and our colors are green. She even made a comparison to a kid’s TV show “slime”. But she was right, “My Wedding DJ is from GAC”, didn’t really roll off the tongue. We would always talk about what the new name should be to highlight the level of service we were always looking to provide. The agreement was made on, White Rose Weddings.

My husband and I were recommended White Rose Weddings by a family friend. From the beginning they were easy to communicate with and we were quickly paired with Jason as our potential DJ. Jason made us feel very comfortable with his expertise and experience, he also had amazing reviews online, so we booked him for our big day. I am so thrilled and happy we did because Jason was so easy to work with up till the wedding day and on the wedding day he delivered exactly what he promised and more! The music he played was spot on for our guest list and age demographics. The dance floor was packed from start to finish and I couldn't drag myself away from it for too long! We have received so many compliments about our DJ and music, on the actual day and for days after! We truly appreciated how special he helped make our day! We cannot recommend enough!

The harpist and violinist were absolutely incredible — truly one of the most magical parts of our entire wedding day. My husband and I were completely in awe, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful and cinematic the music was. It felt like something straight out of a movie, especially with the stunning ambiance of our ceremony location. From the very beginning, the process of choosing music through the company’s website was seamless. There were so many amazing song options to pick from, and we were so happy with our final selections. Hearing them come to life — especially on violin and harp — was beyond words. The musicians played so eloquently and gracefully, and their talent was unmatched. The music added a romantic, emotional, and elegant touch that elevated everything to a whole new level. Communication with the company was excellent. They were quick to respond, always friendly and accommodating, and remained professional and patient — even when unexpected weather challenges came up on the day of the wedding. They were flexible, understanding, and worked with us to make sure everything went smoothly. The quality of the performance was truly a 10 out of 10. Guests were completely blown away, and many told us how unforgettable and moving the ceremony music was. The transitions between songs were smooth and perfectly timed. I would 100% recommend this company to any couple looking to add something special to their ceremony. They are incredibly talented, professional, punctual, and just a dream to work with. We’re so grateful to have had them be part of our big day — they helped make it feel absolutely magical.

HiMotive Entertainment & Photobooth did a great job keeping our wedding reception fun and upbeat. While their communication was a bit delayed leading up to the event, they were ultimately effective in executing on the day-of. The DJ kept the party going all night with a good song selection, though they did play 3 Taylor Swift songs in a row at the start, which we would have preferred more variety. The MC's ad-libs got a little overbearing at times, but overall they did a nice job sticking to the schedule and making important announcements. We'd recommend HiMotive to other couples looking for an energetic DJ.

Robyn Vitson Music

  • Solo performer
  • Serves Crete, IL

I found my passion for music at a young age and knew that I was going to make a living doing it someday! I LOVE pleasing people with my piano playing &/or vocal skills and making their day special with the music that I provide and I also perform with a string trio or quartet and a jazz trio or quartet. 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!
