“Where can I even begin? Alex wasn’t just our dj, he pretty much helped us create a timeline for our entire day. He was our host, support system and truly helped us throw the best celebration. Our guests LOVED him they are still talking about how awesome our DJ was. For months, we jumped on calls to perfect the experience we wanted and Alex was so incredibly supportive the entire time. A week before our wedding we had to change our wedding and he was one of the first people we called. Within minutes he had lists of places to call. When we figured out a new venue he did everything he could to become familiar with the new space and the owner. We arrived to the reception with our vendors all knowing eachother like they were friends all along - it was so unified like one family coming together. Alex was the glue that made our event as magical as it was. There truly isn’t anyone like him we are forever grateful.”

“12/10!!! We cannot recommend Cesar enough. He handled the music for our entire wedding — cocktail hour, ceremony, dinner, and the dance floor — and absolutely killed it. The dance floor music was epic. People were literally coming up to us saying, “OMG, where did you find this DJ?!” He played everything we wanted, avoided our do-not-play list, and mixed the songs together in a way that felt so intentional. It genuinely felt like we were at a club with all of our closest friends and family, and the dance floor was packed all night. And the light-up dance floor!!!

“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!”

EST 2015 Owner Brad has aspired to build this business on the love and knowledge of his Uncle’s 30 year wedding business, and add the modern mixing & lighting today’s couples deserve. We don’t view other companies as competition, but rather collaborators to grow with. Every client deserves the right fit for their DJ.

“As a vendor, working with Boombox Entertainment was a great experience. Brad stayed in constant communication and understood the vision of the couple. He was a great MC and kept the energy flowing throughout the night. He reviewed the timeline ahead of time and was on top of every event of the evening. I'd recommend him to any couple looking for a DJ!”

“Matt was easy to book. He went above and beyond for our reception. We had a difficult time finding a DJ through Zola that would climb stairs. Matt and his crew were up for the challenge. They were accommodating, easy to work with, and friendly. 10/10 would recommend!”

The quality of their work and overall value was unbeatable - they bundled the DJ, photo booth, and coordination services which made everything so convenient and easy for us.
