“Finding the right DJ is one of the most important wedding decisions you'll make, and DJ Ken is the absolute gold standard! His experience shows in everything from the high end production value to the tiny details that made our night perfect. Ken didn’t just play music, his expertise helped us tailor the entire evening to fit our specific vision. He’s so good, he even got my 90 year old grandma out of her wheelchair and onto the dance floor! We’re especially grateful because he spent his own wedding anniversary making ours special, now we share that date forever! I can't recommend him enough; he truly made it the best night of our lives.”

“Nicky Avalo Studios is AMAZING. DJ Redd kept the dance floor filled all night long. I was one of the crazy brides who had a veryyyyy long must play list and he did a great job at playing the songs that kept people singing & dancing. From the very start, it was such an easy process!! Nicky was so so helpful. I filled out the document and everything I asked for was done. Before the wedding, I had actual nightmares about who would DJ my wedding (no idea why… just mustve been what I was most nervous for?! LOL) and WOW those nightmares were all wrong. DJ Redd is the best & even joined us on the dance floor! Seriously I cant say enough good things.

Al hosted multiple calls us, was a phone call away with any questions, and then even attended our final walk through to determine speaker locations and overall plan. Leading up to our wedding at the Chicago History Museum, we felt confident that Okyne would execute our vision and they most certainly did. DJ Alan came dressed to impressed to our black tie wedding and was professional, yet such a fun DJ!

“HiMotive Entertainment & Photobooth did a great job keeping our wedding reception fun and upbeat. While their communication was a bit delayed leading up to the event, they were ultimately effective in executing on the day-of. The DJ kept the party going all night with a good song selection, though they did play 3 Taylor Swift songs in a row at the start, which we would have preferred more variety. The MC's ad-libs got a little overbearing at times, but overall they did a nice job sticking to the schedule and making important announcements. We'd recommend HiMotive to other couples looking for an energetic DJ.”

“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.

“I cannot recommend Nick enough. He is amazing! I actually found him at a friend’s wedding and I really liked his style, so I asked him if he was free for our wedding and I’m so glad I did. I’ve never seen a dance floor so active! He did a perfect mix of crowd pleasers and songs that my husband and I wanted. He was a great emcee but wasn’t talking constantly. He has a great sense of what makes an awesome party, and he truly made our night. It wouldn’t have been as perfect as it was without him. Don’t think twice, hire Nick immediately!!”
