SoundFire DJ 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,495
  • Serves Downers Grove, IL for additional fees

When it has to be "once-in-a-lifetime". SoundFire DJ was established with a single goal in mind: to bring the next-level DJ experience to the Northeast Wisconsin market. A market that has otherwise only experienced DJs that emulated the radio, or what a regular person could do with an iPod. Now, more than ever, having a big music library isn't what matters about a DJ. It's about having a creative professional that knows how to lead a party, and bring it to a successful outcome with amazing results and a touch of class!

Soundfire DJ did an exceptional job with our wedding on July 11, 2020 in Door County. The detail and hard work that was put into our ceremony and reception was really what put SFDJ above any other wedding DJ I have experienced. Shawn was excellent with talking to our guests and staying open to schedule changes throughout the night. He kept in contact with me throughout the entire wedding and was super fun and brought a great energy! Tyler’s music was amazing. I loved that he fused a bunch of songs that we requested together to make it more fun. He read the room and would play slow songs or fast songs at perfect times. Requests were always granted and they had an awesome selection of songs available. I loved that we were able to make playlists beforehand with their easy-to-use website. I also appreciated that we would get monthly emails with general wedding reminders of what is typically done that month during wedding planning. That was super helpful for myself who did not hire a wedding planner and had zero experience with planning events. SFDJ truly helped make our special day absolutely perfect, regardless of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since our wedding in 2020, we have been to several weddings of our friends and family that used SFDJ simply because of the experience they had at our wedding! I look forward to going to other events in the future with you guys!

DJ Davin Titus 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Downers Grove, IL for additional fees

Elevate your event experience. I provide premium sound system, dance floor lighting, tube lighting, full room dynamic up lighting, live DJ mixing, and emceeing, to any event you are imagining. I try to help any potential client gain a better perspective on the importance of not only hiring someone to play a role as a "DJ" - (aka someone who simply plays music) but also having that same person actively assist with the flow of the event and truly becoming integrated within your event. If you feel like we would be a great fit, I'd love the opportunity to chat!

Davin was INCREDIBLE! He was an incredible communicator, extremely organized, was on top of everything before our wedding day and during, and was incredibly talented. He played music that we requested as well as adding songs that matched the vibe. I really liked that he was actually DJing too. It wasn’t just like a Spotify playlist playing. I don’t know the right words to use but he used remixes and added beats to songs that would normally be difficult to dance to. My now husband and I didn’t want to leave the dance floor. There were plenty of times when we wanted a break from dancing physically but then another great song would come on so we just ended up staying on the dance floor. I even heard guests say they were getting some fresh air for a second and then the song would change and they changed their minds too and kept dancing. Honestly you couldn’t ask for a better DJ for your event. Such a talented and great guy!

Music Mania, Inc. 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,400
  • Serves Downers Grove, IL

My career started in 1985 as a single-operating DJ company and I’ve performed at thousands of events in and around Chicago over the past 30+ years. In 2016, I started Photo Mania to accommodate the popularity of photo booths at weddings, corporate events, and social parties. And we’re still evolving to find better and faster photo booth technologies to create that buzz at your event. In my personal life, I was a volunteer firefighter for ten years and just retired from the fire service after a thirty-year career. Through my companies, we donate to various charities and events in and around Chicago to benefit the community.

Dwayne Eriksen is a true professional and is easy to work with. He is well prepared, knows his acoustics, and has the right equipment for both indoor and outdoor venues (unlike many others). I have worked with a vast number of DJs over the years and Dwayne is one of the best. I highly recommend him for your celebration/event.

Oh what a night! Indigo was amazing! Our wedding guests were so impressed with them - from the jazz trio during dinner to the high energy music that kept everyone on the dance floor. Kendall knows how to start a party and keep it going until the end of the evening! Their range of music and ability to play to our guests was so impressive. We are so glad that we decided to select the 11 piece band - the horn section was fantastic! And then they ended the evening with a private dance for the bride and groom that was so special. They are definitely a five star band! A big thanks to Kendall and Indigo for a very special evening!

The Good Kidds 

4.7

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Downers Grove, IL

A Chicago based DJ that has worked events in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, New York City, Miami, and Internationally. He likes to draw from from his roots in Houston, New Orleans and current home of Chicago to create a fun atmosphere for his clients. Graduate of Xavier University of Louisiana and Tulane University in New Orleans, this former social worker knows a good party.

DJ Chriss was so great to work with for my husband and I's wedding day. We really took our time to create a more modern wedding playlist from ceremony, to cocktail hour, and into reception as we wanted a more upbeat and lively atmosphere that is in sync with who we are as a couple rather than your standard classic wedding playlist we've heard over and over that we can't really dance to the way we would like. He listened to us and appreciated the list we sent over while understanding our taste and adding some songs to it throughout the wedding day that made for an amazing time that our guests can't stop talking about! -Kristin and Ryan Roberts 6.25.22

Reception Entertainment 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,250
  • Serves Downers Grove, IL

For owner Mike Yazumbek, DJing is fun and games, but it’s also a lifestyle he has lived and breathed for the past 13 years. Mike got his interest in DJing at age 20 and started out playing friends house parties, then eventually building up a reputation and DJing a the biggest nightclubs in the Chicagoland Area. Pretty Soon, a lot of his friends were getting married and Mike was the first person they thought of. After Djing hundreds of clubs, bars, school dances, private parties and weddings under his freelance name "DJ Mike Y" It was time to finally brand a mobile entertainment company - Reception Entertainment !

Mike did an awesome job at our wedding!! From the start he proved that he would be the one running the wedding, making sure everything ran smoothly. He made sure we stayed on our timeline and made sure photographers were around for cake cutting, first dances, etc. When it came to music, we got nothing but great reviews from our guests! The dance floor wasn’t empty all night! Highly recommend!

Gussied 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Downers Grove, IL

Gussied is a full service wedding band that offers ceremony, cocktail, dinner, dancing music, and more. Instead of trying to duplicate a song you've heard on the radio, we "gussy it up" into our own bluegrass inspired own style. We play farms, barns, wineries, swanky lofts, country clubs and everything in between - even summer camps! We also play destination weddings, festivals and private events. No party is too small or too big. We have a professional sound team and various music packages to suit all of your needs.

We hired the duo to play our ceremony. Their modern spin on folk and bluegrass music set the perfect tone for our summery outdoor wedding. They went above and beyond by learning and performing a song I had written for my husband. I highly recommend Gussied!

Cuarteto Guataca 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Downers Grove, IL for additional fees

Bassist and bandleader Josh Levine got his start in the professional music business busking in SoHo with The Flying Neutrinos in ’93, so when NYC shut down in Spring of 2020, he capitalized on his experience as a street performer and began to play regularly in the parks of NYC with percussionist and sonero, Jainardo Batista, renowned flutist Itai Kriss making his debut on Cuban trés guitar, and María Raquel on vocals and minor percussion. Before long, the quartet had generated some buzz, several venues hired them to play outdoors and pianist Gabriel Chakarji and Grammy winning flutist and vocalist Jeremy Bosch became staples of the group.

I have used Cuarteto Guataca both personally (birthdays, family events) and professionally as a wedding/ event florist and event planner for YEARS. Every time they manage to get everyone on their feet. They are super professional always and extremely easy to work with. Hands down, Josh and his band will always be my first choice for latin entertainment (any entertainment for that matter)!!
