We highly recommend Darrin from Premier Entertainment to be your wedding DJ! Darrin communicated clearly throughout the planning process, kindly reminded us of upcoming deadlines, responded very quickly to questions, helped us upload music selections in the app, and was professional, yet personal. A few weeks before the wedding, we had a meeting to go through details for the reception which we found to be so helpful. Darrin was knowledgeable and experienced which enabled him to give us good insight and direction for some things that still needed to be decided. The quality of the sound was incredible—the music sounded awesome but wasn’t too overwhelming for the room. This was perfect for making the dance floor both inviting and enjoyable for our wedding guests. Our reception space was relatively large so we were concerned about people being able to hear the speeches, so Darrin was able to bring an extra speaker so that everyone was able to hear well. Darrin even created song mixes for our special dances of the night which allowed us to personalize our special dances in a way that was meaningful and sweet to us. He truly went above and beyond every step of the way. Our friends and family were out on the dance floor the whole evening, and we got many compliments on how fun the music was. Additionally, Darrin set up uplighting throughout the perimeter of the room which made the atmosphere even more fun and lively. He even sent us some pictures and videos from the reception that were so fun to flip through and reminisce. We cannot recommend Darrin enough!! Book him for your wedding!

This man is an absolute legend! We had so much fun at our wedding and got ENDLESS compliments from our guests on how great our DJ was. A DJ can make or break your wedding and not something you should skimp out on. We attended 9 weddings before ours, and a common theme we noticed is how big of a difference it makes when you hire a DJ who interacts with the crowd and is not afraid to step out of the box of original wedding music, and entertain the crowd. DJ Milk is that guy!!! From the moment we found and interacted through calls with him we knew he would deliver and provide a unique experience for our wedding day. DJ Milk had a detailed process to understand the type of music we wanted to hear, ensuring the dancefloor was packed the whole night. He executed on all levels! He started the night by warming up the dancefloor with some classics while mixing in the headbanging EDM and making the boomers and other guests go wild on the dance floor. He also let us spray the CO2 machine, and I think we ran it completely out. He did a fantastic job as the evening “Emcee” running the speeches, dances, coordinating our anniversary dance, and more! It felt like we were at the best dance party of our lives, and we were sad to see the night come to an end. I even saw my mother-in-law head banging, which is a sight I never thought I would see! The compliments on the music, night, and vibe from the wedding never ended weeks after our wedding. We even had the director of operations at the wedding venue come up from his office and enjoy the music. He said, “This is the best wedding music we’ve had at this venue”. For your wedding or any event, look no further. DJ MILK MAJER IS THE GUY!!!

10/10 would recommend Nick and Impulse Entertainment. Nick was very professional and organized. Our friends and family were on the dance floor the whole night and he curated an entire playlist based on our preferences. In addition, he went above and beyond by being super attentive to the Groom and Bride and kept an eye on the timeline to keep things moving. Best investment we made for our wedding!

Carol Stream, IL

  • Starts at $5,900

Orchestra 33’s remarkable journey began in suburban Chicago at the swanky Rupert’s 33 Club. For five exceptional years, we had the distinct honor of being the club’s original and exclusive choice for entertainment. An innovative concept indeed, our talented orchestra of vocalists and musicians played four sets a night, five nights a week. Winning numerous accolades from Chicago fans and critics alike prompted the opening of similar Rupert’s clubs in Minneapolis, St. Louis and Atlanta.

The band did an amazing job at our wedding. We had multiple people compliment them for how well they played. We are glad we went with Orchestra 33!
