Matt Klich and our wonderful DJ, Emilio Isasi, were absolutely wonderful and easy to work with. Leading up to the day, communication was top tier and streamlined in a way that made us very comfortable that the whole team, as well as ourselves, new exactly what was going on down to the fine details. The day of, everything was set up and ready to go right on time (we also did uplighting and a photo booth through Encore!) and the music was pumping. Emilio frequently checked in on us throughout the event and made sure we were ready to go for each part of our schedule. He also was able to read the crowd and played the perfect music to fit the mood while also incorporating both our requests and the crowd's requests. We can't recommend Clik Entertainment (and especially Emilio!) enough!

Ken is an absolute pleasure to work with! He truly cares about giving you exactly what you dream of for your wedding. He listens to everything that’s important to you and then adds special touches that makes your day feel so special. He is compassionate and caring. I still remember when he “teared up” listening to our love story……he truly cares and wants to be a part of your love story to make the day perfect. He has your best interest at heart. He is an unbelievable DJ. He reads the crowd well and adjusts accordingly. We know he absolutely loves his work because he was always engaged and checking in with us routinely to make sure everything was perfect and he never stopped smiling when working on our wedding day. Our dance floor was full all night and never sizzled out, not even for one song. The CO2 cannons kept people cooled off on the dance floor. To this day, people still talk about how amazing and fun our wedding was and how amazing our DJ was. Several people have told us that our wedding is in their top 5 in terms of the best weddings they have been to and we know it has a lot to do with Ken and his hard work. He is the best!

I've been to my fair share of weddings the last few years and I can definitively say that Yazz Events is one of the best live wedding bands I have ever seen. My calves were more sore the day after the wedding than when I ran the Chicago Marathon a few weeks prior. That's how hard I was dancing all night. We had a bilingual wedding (Spanish/English) and the MC, Hector, was able to speak and instruct guests in both languages. SO AWESOME! They also played the perfect blend of songs in both languages. Many of our Spanish speaking guests had not seen a live band like this before and they loved it. Amy, the owner, was amazing with planning and giving suggestions for the setlist. We also hired the jazz duo for our rehearsal dinner. They added such a calming presence to that night. 10/10 all around. Thank you Yazz Events!

We found Bluewater Kings through the preferred vendor list at our venue , and we are so glad we did. They invited us to come hear them play at a live showcase, and we were immediately sold. We booked them that same night. One of the best parts of working with them was the planning process. Their online planning portal made it so easy to update our preferences and make adjustments in the months leading up to the wedding. Molly was incredibly helpful and always quick to respond to any questions we had, which made everything feel seamless and organized. We also used their “iPad DJ” option so we could customize our cocktail hour and dinner playlists, along with a few songs during the band’s breaks. It was the perfect balance of adding our own personal touches while still trusting them to play what they know keeps the energy up. The band itself was amazing. They were so talented, brought great energy, and kept the dance floor packed all night. They really paid attention to the vibe we wanted and delivered exactly that. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and we would absolutely recommend them for your wedding.

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. They played great songs, surprised us with a gift after our first dance, and even kept bringing my girls and I fans cause they had us dancing all night. We cannot thank both Bill and John enough for helping us execute our big day! -The O’Havers

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!!

I don’t know where to start with Dillon and Electric Sugar…. They were incredible. Plain and simple. I worked with Dillon leading up to wedding weekend and he was kind, prompt, professional, and fun. We worked together to create a set list that was perfect for our taste in music. Dillon also played guitar at our ceremony and it was beautiful. He did a combo of guitar and prerecorded music per our request and it was perfect. He brought all the equipment needed for our officiant to have a microphone as well. The Electric Sugar band as a whole played for our reception. We had them for 3 hours and the dance floor was packed for 3 hours. They were so much fun and SO talented!!! It was the best party and they were a huge reason behind it! I would recommend them to anyone for their wedding or any other occasion they are looking to add spice and energy too. If we ever host another event where music is needed I would book them in a heartbeat
