3rd Shift DJs

4.5

Elgin, IL
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Glenview, IL

3rd Shift DJs is an Elgin, IL-based DJ company that specializes in weddings and nuptial events. This budding business is owned and operated by Alex Dingmann, a DJ professional with a passion for adding thrill and excitement to parties through the sound of music. With years of experience under his belt, Alex helps newlyweds across the country celebrate their new chapter, creating personalized playlists that have everyone dancing all the way home.

My wife and I contacted Alex as we found his business on weddingwire. Once we reached out, Alex responded fairly quickly and a call was scheduled. He was very patient with us and very transparent of how he runs things as the DJ. DJ’s can really make or break your wedding and we wanted to ensure that we had someone good lined up. Alex was very specific on what his expectations were, which really put us at ease. During the planning process, he was extremely helpful in helping us make some decisions regarding what to have and what not to have. Alex surpassed both of our expectations on the actual day. The wedding flow was extremely smooth and he worked with us for our playlist. I would 15/10 recommend Alex. He is an amazing DJ for all your needs. Thanks again Alex!

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!!!

Funk Almighty did an amazing job playing our ceremony and reception! We had a solo guitarist during our ceremony who did an amazing job learning and playing the songs we requested. During the reception, we had the 6-piece band play. The dance floor was always packed and the music was amazing. Outside of the wedding day, they were super easy to plan with, knowing exactly what to do to make everything go perfectly. I would highly recommend adding them to your wedding day!!!!!!

Drew was amazing from beginning to end. The planning process was easy, all our questions were answered and Drew had great suggestions. The planning app was super organized, we had a few Zoom planning calls and Drew worked directly with our venue to work through the details and take us out of the middle. He did a great job reading the room and keeping the party going. The most compliments we got from our guests was about how great our DJ was!

Anna Piotrowski, violinist

5.0

Chicago, IL
  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $300

Anna Piotrowski has been playing the violin since age 5, and knew shortly after that she wanted to pursue it as a career! This dedication has taken her across the globe performing in various ensembles and settings - from classical orchestras to backup for Iranian pop star Moein. She pursued her formal education at the University of Michigan and DePaul University, where she earned her bachelors and masters degrees in violin performance. She has studied with many of the world's top teachers and performers, and is currently teaching 95 students of her own. Anna looks forward to working with you to create the perfect event!

Anna is an incredibly talented violinist! We hired Anna to play violin during the ceremony at our wedding. We were initially only going to have the DJ play instrumental music during our ceremony, but ended up deciding to have a violinist instead and it was the best decision! We still had the DJ play some piano back tracks, but Anna blew away our guests. One close friend came up to my mom after the ceremony and said "as soon as the violinist touched her bow to the instrument, I had goosebumps from my feet to my head." Don't hesitate to hire Anna! Nothing quite compares to the "live violin" flare :)

Chicago, IL
  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,000

Luniks Entertainment specializes in tailoring music to align with your individual style and musical preferences, ensuring that our DJs adeptly gauge the atmosphere to encourage your guests to engage and enjoy. Our comprehensive Wedding DJ packages encompass up tp 6 hours of music within the same room/space, featuring an extensive library of songs. Prior to your significant day, we engage in thorough consultations to align with your vision, discussing the timeline and curating a playlist for key moments. Leveraging various planning forms, we strive to orchestrate a seamless and memorable experience for your special day.

I'm a wedding planner based downtown Chicago and we've worked with all of the DJs at Luniks Entertainment. We have a wonderful experience at every wedding, no matter the DJ. They bring great energy but are not the "cheesy DJ" type. They have a great setup too, with a white lightup front which elevates the overall look of the DJ table (compared to just a table with linen). We will continue to recommend Luniks and look forward to working together at many weddings!

We met with Todd several times before our wedding day. Every time he was super professional and kind, making sure he understood us and our vision. On our wedding day we were even more impressed! We have been to so many weddings and I have to say Todd is the best! He really is an awesome MC and DJ! Everyone could hear speeches clearly, his lights added a fun and unique touch, and his music was the best part. He could read the room and had our guests dancing literally the entire time. We got so many compliments about him even weeks after and we couldn't agree more. He is very good at what he does and you can trust him with your wedding. You will not be disappointed! Highly recommend!

Swinging the Standards with Ross Failla

5.0

Brookfield, IL
  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $500

Make your rehearsal dinner, cocktail hour, or wedding dinner perfect with the sounds of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Tony Bennett, Bobby Darin, Nat King Cole and more. I have been singing for the past 20 years, and I sing all the best Classics and Oldies that all of your guests will know and love!

For my wedding, I didn’t want a dj like everyone else. I saw Ross singing at a restaurant and wow! I’m so happy we had Ross sing at our wedding. It was hit! Everyone at the wedding of all ages knew all of the songs he sang. At one point, everyone was singing along during dinner. A year later and I still hear how much people enjoyed Ross and his talent! I definitely will always consider Ross for future celebrations.
