Her experience playing for weddings shows with her ability to time things and follow your vision. Grateful for her!”

“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.”

“The photographer, videographer, and photo booth was absolutely perfect and our guests had a blast! However, even after going through the work of submitting a Spotify play list and adding do not play songs or DJ played the wrong version of our first dance song (I checked and we had the correct version listed on our playlist we sent over), he also played songs from our do not play list to the point I, the bride, came over to ask if he had the wrong list. He admitted he was using songs from the do not play list as he was not paying attention. I would also like to note, though our wedding was more casual, our DJ was dressed in a sloppy manner. His shirt was half untucked from his pants, there were stains on his shirt and pants. Besides a few hiccups, direct Entertainment was wonderful to work with!”

“Bill and John did a wonderful job for mine and my Husbands special day. From the very first phone call, Bill was very informative and reassuring that they would get the job done to fit our vision. They even came to the rehearsal (small extra cost) to make sure all music cues were exactly how I wanted them which was great as many DJs had told me “no.” It really helped ease my nerves knowing things were well executed and ran through the day before. Throughout the planning process, Bill was very responsive to any questions I had via email or extra phone calls. I did have a change I added in last minute so our dog could be apart of reception announcements and they didn’t even flinch at the last minute change of plans. They nailed it.

We don't do cookie-cutter. We never have.

Family-owned since 2014, we're a collection of Chicago's finest voices and players, and your night should sound like you — not the wedding down the street. No generic playlists. Every setlist is built from scratch. We scale from 6 to 15 pieces with ceremony strings, cocktail jazz, DJ hybrids, photo booths, and lighting, plus a music app that makes planning easy. Hundreds of weddings in, a full dance floor still gets us.

“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!”

“Sam was awesome & SO PROFESSIONAL. My husband and I had been looking for a DJ since we first got engaged and were not too pleased with other encounters we had. When we reached out to Sam we were able to see him/speak to him via Zoom to hash out the details of our wedding and what we were looking for. He allowed us to prepay for our event, and he continuously checked in with us & responded to any questions we had in between. When my stepson was having a bit of a moment(due to not doing well in large crowds), Sam allowed us to sit him near the DJ booth (as he loves the equipment) - supervised by his grandfather- until he was ready to join the party. Our families enjoyed the music, and were even allowed to request a few specific songs for special traditions. He was on time, communicative, professional, & flexible- he made our night special & if we had a chance to redo it- we’d sign on with him again!!! Thank you soooo much Sam!!!!!!”

After I finished my PhD in genetics and molecular biology at Yale, I left behind a career as a research scientist to pursue a lifelong dream as a professional sax player. While the pandemic was a roadblock to many musicians, I managed to gain momentum as a street performer when I began hosting outdoor concerts for the local entertainment-deprived graduate students. A few of my fellow graduates asked me to perform at their weddings, and even DJ, so I spent the next two years honing my skills and constructing a very 80's synthwave-style brand and equipment to match the vibe.

“Couldn’t recommend this DJ more. Between the communication before the wedding and the energy and vibe he brought - Lucas is the best! My husband and I are dancers so we were very particular about our music and Lucas was our perfect match. He kept the dance floor full all night and so many of our guests asked for his info so they could recommend him to friends! We had friends who hired a different saxophonist to play over their DJ to mimic our wedding and it didn’t compare. If you want a fun wedding - Lucas is your man!”

He was so personable, knowledgeable, and genuinely excited about making our wedding day special, and that first impression could not have been more accurate. Throughout the entire planning process, Trevor was incredible. We had multiple planning meetings leading up to the wedding, and he was always organized, prepared, calm, and incredibly attentive to every little detail. He took the time to get to know us, understand the vibe we wanted, and make sure all of our music and timeline details were exactly what we envisioned. Having someone we could completely trust made the planning process so much less stressful. And on the wedding day, Trevor absolutely delivered! He kept everything running smoothly and, most importantly, BROUGHT THE BANGERS. The dance floor was bussin all night, and we had so many guests tell us afterward how much they loved the music and how fun the reception was. He did such an amazing job reading the crowd and knowing exactly what to play to keep everyone dancing. Trevor was truly the perfect combination of professional, organized, detail-oriented, and fun. We are so grateful he was part of our wedding and helped make the night so memorable. From the first time we met him at the Wedding Walk to the last song of the night, we knew we were in great hands. We cannot recommend Trevor enough!”

“From the moment we met with Eddie, we knew we found an absolute GEM. If you're looking for a DJ who values, cherishes and prepares for your wedding day as much as you do, you absolutely found him!!! My husband and I had a blended culture wedding, with a split of English & Spanish speakers. So, we knew that our guests would vary greatly in language and musical preferences. We searched high and low for someone who not only understood the event we were trying to put together, but was willing to take on the assignment. We told Eddie that priority #1 for our day was a packed dance floor and a welcoming environment for everyone to just immerse themselves in each others cultures. A tall order, but WOW did Eddie DELIVER!!! He had people dancing the ENTIRE night. Eddie's talent and unique skillset resulted in the perfect atmosphere for all of our favorite people. The music coordination, the lighting, the sound engineering, the energy of the entire evening... our guests have not stopped talking about how much fun our wedding was. All of this, of course, is thanks to Eddie!!! To help create our perfect day, Eddie met with us several times leading up to the wedding, and even helped out in ways beyond what you would expect from your DJ. He recommended an incredible Mariachi band to perform at our wedding and provided an amazing photobooth experience for our guests. He and his assistants are incredibly detailed, attentive, talented and personable. On top of all of that, it is actually impossible to be in a bad mood around Eddie. His joy and passion is totally infectious, and his energy truly set the tone for the entire day, our guests experience, and our experience as the bride and groom. Eddie, thank you so much for an incredible, unforgettable and perfect day. You are a true master at what you do - not just as a host and DJ, but as someone who specializes in making a wedding day what it's supposed to be: a Celebration!!! THANK YOU!!!”
