“Gemma was the best wedding DJ we could ever have asked for! We heard about her as a recommendation from our venue (Curtis Arboretum) which she is very familiar with. She invited me to see her DJ a set and she was dancing and singing with everyone. We knew she would be perfect. She is very communicative and played music that got all ages on the dance floor. She plays all genres and you can tell she really loves each event she is a part of. I had multiple guests come up and tell me how much they enjoyed her DJ'ing. With her services, lighting can be included as well as a wonderful pink photobooth. She also has vintage photography (see below for a black and white photo from her) and videography services available. She even saved the day and had a microphone for us to use during our ceremony when we found out we did not have one. At the end of the event, we felt like we were saying goodbye to a friend we had known for a long time!”

“Having a violinist for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour was one of the best decisions that we made, and Sweet Harmony made it SO easy. They were communicative, professional, and had a platform that made choosing songs and getting organized a breeze. It was affordable as far as wedding add-ons goes and classed up the wedding, our guests were all excited and impressed. Our violinist was incredibly talented and added an incredible flair. We chose a hip hop theme he nailed it (classy but also super fun and energetic). My only regret is that we were so busy that we didn't get to stop and truly appreciate it as much as we should have. If you're reading this review to thing about booking, stop here and go for it, you won't regret working with Sweet Harmony”

“If we could give DJ Chamber Guy more than five stars, we would. He was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the beginning of the planning process through the last song of the night, Kyle was INSANELY AMAZING. Working with him leading up to the wedding was fun and easy. He uses an app called VIBO, which made the planning process simple. We could add all of our song choices, select the exact versions we wanted, record important details, and add songs to our playlist from our phones whenever inspiration struck. It was incredibly convenient and made communicating what we wanted so easy. Kyle also handled the lighting for our ceremony space, and it looked incredible. At one point we got nervous that we hadn’t ordered enough lighting, and Kyle and his team were able to easily add additional lighting to our package for a very reasonable cost. The extra lighting they recommended was PERFECT and made such a difference. He also provided sound for our outdoor ceremony, which was far away from the reception space. He had everything needed to make that work flawlessly, and we didn’t experience a single glitch or hiccup. He made sure our ceremony exit was perfectly timed and synced with our song choice, our reception introductions were AMAZING and perfectly timed, and he edited our first dance and parent dance songs down to the absolute perfect moments of each song. Every transition felt intentional and seamless. Kyle didn’t just DJ our wedding, he guided our guests through the entire day. He knew exactly when to make an announcement, how to keep things moving, and how to create the right energy without ever taking over the moment. Then we got to the reception and saw his setup. HOLY. SH*T. It looked like we had hired a real-life club DJ. The turntables, sound system, equipment, the entire setup was SO impressive. Then we noticed the digital display he had customized specifically for our wedding with our Harry Potter theme incorporated into it. It was such a thoughtful, personal surprise and blew us away. THEN came the dancing. Our guests were simply not worthy of the talent Kyle brought to that dance floor. He played banger after banger all night! Not just the songs we requested, but incredible mixes that he had created himself. At one point, he dropped a mix featuring the Bill Nye the Science Guy theme song, and suddenly every millennial in the room was transported back in time. People were jumping, fist-pumping, and screaming “BILL! BILL! BILL!” Then he pulled out a Law & Order: SVU theme song mix and the entire room absolutely LOST IT. We HAVE to mention the Harry Potter dubstep mix he made. We went completely NUTS for it. It was everything we could have wanted for our Harry Potter wedding and even better than we imagined. This was the third wedding in our family this year, and Kyle was EASILY the best DJ. His talent, professionalism, creativity, communication, attention to detail, and ability to read a room are on another level. We cannot thank Kyle and his team enough for making our wedding so much fun and giving us a night we will never forget. If you’re getting married and considering DJ Chamber Guy, BOOK HIM. Kyle — thank you for absolutely CRUSHING IT. You were incredible, amazing, phenomenal, outstanding… honestly, we’ve run out of adjectives. 10/10. 5 stars. No notes.”

Rating: 4.5 (122 reviews)

“My husband and I used Direct Entertainment for our DJ and videographer for our wedding and we could not be more pleased!! The team was professional, great at communication, very kind and professional, and they helped make our day absolutely perfect! Jeff, our DJ kept the dance floor alive ALL NIGHT!! When the music had to stop at the end of the night, the dance floor was still completely full and no one wanted it to end. He did a great job announcing the events of the night, made sure that our ceremony music was perfect, and he stuck to our wedding playlist with the exception for a couple guest requests (which we were happy to allow). We were so happy and thankful to have Jeff there! Sie, our videographer also did a wonderful job! We have not yet received our video as our wedding was less than 2 weeks ago, but I already know it is going to be amazing. He was so great with communication, was prompt with his timing, and he even set up a second camera for guests to break away and give us well wishes for our marriage, which I'm so excited to watch back. He was very professional and wonderful to work with. We decided to add videography at the last minute because we thought we might regret not having it, and I am SO happy we asked Jim at Direct Entertainment if they had someone available for our day just a month before, and they did!! Jim, the coordinator at Direct Entertainment frequently checked in with us, asked us questions about ourselves, and genuinely made us feel like he cared about us and our special day. He was great to work with leading up to being assigned our designated DJ and videographer, and even after, he checked in to make sure we were happy and that all of the planning was going well. Overall, we would 1000% recommend Direct Entertainment for any wedding entertainment needs! I know they also offer several other services that we did not utilize, and I'm sure they are wonderful as well! Photos courtesy of Lang at Wandering Wolf Photography.”

“WOW we can't recommend the Supersounds team enough!! We booked them for our Oct 2025 wedding in Burlington, VT and from the very first conversation Ryan was so professional and attentive. He recommended a few of the DJs on their team based on what we wanted the vibes of our wedding to be (all gas, no brakes on the party) and we spoke with each briefly before going with Molly! Leading up to our weekend, we gave her two separate playlists (cocktail hour/dinner, dance floor) and a list of must-plays. She also made sure to ask for first dance songs and clarify pronunciation of names for when she'd announce speeches. The attention to detail on her part really allowed us to go into the day totally stress-free! On the wedding day, she showed up early to set up, stuck with our playlists, and absolutely crushed it. Our dance floor was full the ENTIRE two hours! The transition from Mr. Brightside to Mo Bamba will live in my brain forever. It was exactly what we envisioned and I never left the dance floor even for one song. Thank you Ryan, Molly, and Supersounds for giving us memories to last a lifetime!!”

They even learned a couple of extra songs for us that sounded amazing. Their talent is honestly unreal.

We shared with him a playlist of some of our favorite songs, a list of "do not play" whether they were styles of music, artists or specific songs and a "must play" list. His online forum was easy to navigate and use. We loved the uplighting and the audio guestbook (phone)!! Also I appreciate that he read and followed through with all the small notes we left for him (specifically we asked for father/daughter, mother/son and first dance to end after the chorus and not play the entire 3-4 minutes). Such a great time. We received so many compliments on our music and the dance floor was busy all night long!

They were very flexible and professional. We chose as our first dance the Etta James classic “At Last”. (We are in our 70’s!!!)

“Brian is one of the best wedding DJs in the business. In the past two years I’ve been to eight different weddings. Brian was the DJ for three of the eight, and the party/reception component of the events was never more fun than when Brian was driving the bus. He is an east coast DJ, but he spun tracks at both of my sister-in-laws’ weddings and as we were searching for a DJ for our own wedding we reached out just to see what he would charge for a wedding in Chicago. Turns out the price was right. Brian traveled to Chicago, MC’d our entire wedding, brought all of the equipment necessary and made our day exceptional in every way. I think there are a few things that really set Brian apart from other wedding DJs. Anyone can stand there and run through a playlist, but Brian went off book a few times to match and capture the energy of the guests. As we were in the midst of the planning process he added zero stress, and just calmly walked us through the process of selecting songs. He had suggestions and recommendations along the way. He even brought an extra speaker so that we could plug our digital piano in and the pianist would be able to play loudly enough. Overall, we can’t recommend Brian highly enough. You will not regret choosing him to DJ at your wedding, party, event. Whatever it is, Brian is a huge value add and a pleasure to work with.”

“DJ Steff was fantastic — we got compliments from guests of all ages all night. He was responsive, organized, and flexible; when we decided last-minute to skip the shoe game due to golden hour timing, he adapted without any fuss. The ability to submit must-play, play-if-possible, play-if-requested, and do-not-play lists separately was a great touch, along with the complimentary dance floor lighting and photo booth. Our guests raved about what a great DJ he was too. One of them even said “I want to get married again just so I can hire your DJ”. Highly recommend!”

“We are so glad we went with DJ Maxx for our wedding! We were looking for someone who would be able to cater to all of our needs (English and Spanish playlists) but who didn't bring a 'club promoter' vibe to the function! We found that and more in DJ Maxx! The dry ice and party lights made the night so fun! Everyone's told us how much fun they had at our wedding and how nice it was to be able to discreetly (lol) make song requests! Definitely recommend!”

“Nathan helped make our wedding day so special! Throughout the planning process, he took the time to really go through the details of our day and get to know us. He got excited about our ideas and gave great suggestions on how to bring them to life. On the wedding day, Nathan helped make sure everything ran smoothly, coordinating with other vendors and our friends and family to make sure everyone had what they needed from before the ceremony through the end of the night. He knew we wanted to do our first dance and toasts outside during cocktail hour, right before sunset, so he made sure to check in with us to get the timing just right, and it was magical! During dinner, we had curated a playlist of first dance songs from our guests, and he helped create so many special moments by encouraging folks to get up and dance when they heard their song, and stayed flexible when we were ready to get dancing started. The reception was an absolute blast and my dream dance floor. The end of the night was perfection with several "last songs" and getting to soak it all in in a circle of our favorite people. Nathan is an expert and the whole night flowed so perfectly with so many core memories created. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!”
