“We booked with Clik because of a friend’s recommendation and they absolutely went above and beyond. So easy to communicate and coordinate with. Bryant was amazing and made sure to get and keep people on the dance floor all night. For a wedding of 60 people it was more than I could ask for. We had multiple spaces guests moved through and the sound/ music was perfect in each space. There were hiccups due to the venue being incompetent but Bryant was amazing and made sure our day was seamless. We also rented a Photo Booth with them and picked the luxe package and it was a huge hit. Custom photo strips, so many back drop options and the photo quality was phenomenal.”

His diverse music knowledge allows him to blend in any type of environment. Brands such as Match.com and State Farm have trusted him to create a fun and exciting atmosphere for some of their events.

“Kelvon was always professional, and very easy to get ahold of and talk to. His online portal was super easy to use and he stuck to the must play and dont play songs. I also wanted to teach a few easy line dances at the wedding instead of doing the typical electric slide. I was able to use his mic and teach the guests a few easy steps. All the music flowed super seamlessly into the next song.”

The quality of their work was truly outstanding - they were the perfect addition for our cocktail hour and ceremony.

During cocktail hour, his singing was a standout moment—our guests couldn't stop talking about how talented he is. He kept the energy high throughout the night while also helping our speeches flow naturally without any awkward transitions. Karl's combination of live vocals and DJ skills meant we didn't have to hire two separate people, and honestly, the value was unbeatable.

“Overall, we had a good experience with our DJ. He arrived on time, was professional throughout the evening, and kept our guests on the dance floor for most of the night. The music flowed well, and everyone seemed to have a great time. That said, I did spend a lot of time carefully selecting songs that were meaningful to us, and I was a little disappointed that many of those selections weren't played. Some of our requested songs were included, but I had hoped more of our playlist would be incorporated into the evening. The only other issue was that, just before our grand exit, he approached us to mention that he hadn't received enough food. We had paid for a vendor meal for him, so I wasn't sure what had happened, and it didn't feel like the best time to bring it up while we were in the middle of such a special moment. Despite those concerns, he was friendly, punctual, and our guests clearly enjoyed themselves. If having a lively dance floor is your top priority, he does a good job creating a fun atmosphere.”

I'm Fidel, a Chicagoland wedding DJ and MC with 19 years behind the decks. My job is simple: a packed dance floor and a day that feels 100% like you. Planning is where great weddings start. We'll meet on video calls, and I'll give you my shared planning worksheet for your ceremony, entrances, must-plays, and do-not-plays, so every detail is locked in before the day. Need a custom edit, an instrumental for a live singer, or mics for your officiant? I've got you.

Awarded Best of Zola
“If you're looking for a wedding DJ, I cannot recommend Fidel enough! From the very beginning, he was organized, professional, and genuinely invested in making our wedding day exactly what we envisioned. Before the wedding, we had three video calls to go over every detail. He also created a shared Google Doc where we could easily organize everything he needed to know, from our ceremony processional songs, cocktail hour and dinner playlists, bridal party entrance songs, must-play songs, and even a list of songs we absolutely did not want played. The entire planning process was seamless and made us feel confident that every detail was covered. Fidel also provided all of the audio equipment for our outdoor ceremony, including speakers and microphones for our officiant and my cousin, who sang during the ceremony. One of the most thoughtful things he did was help with my processional song. I had chosen a song that didn't have an instrumental version anywhere. Instead of telling me it wasn't possible, he created a custom instrumental version so my cousin could practice singing with it before the wedding. That meant so much to me and is something I'll never forget. On the wedding day, Fidel absolutely delivered. He transitioned smoothly through every part of the day and kept the reception flowing effortlessly. He took song requests throughout the night while still staying true to the vibe we wanted, and I especially appreciated that he played clean versions of songs earlier in the reception since we had a lot of younger cousins celebrating with us. The dance floor stayed full, the energy never dropped, and everyone had an amazing time. In fact, the very next day, every person I asked about the wedding immediately commented on how great the music was. That says everything. You can truly tell that Fidel loves what he does, and it shows in every part of his work. He went above and beyond in ways we never expected, and because of him our ceremony and reception were absolutely perfect. If you're considering hiring him, don't hesitate, you won't regret it!”

“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. They played great songs, surprised us with a gift after our first dance, and even kept bringing my girls and I fans cause they had us dancing all night. We cannot thank both Bill and John enough for helping us execute our big day! -The O’Havers”

We don't do cookie-cutter. We never have. What started as late nights of live funk on Chicago's club stages became a decade-long obsession with making every wedding feel like the best concert you've ever been to. Family-owned since 2014, we're a collection of Chicago's finest voices and players, and your night should sound like you — not the wedding down the street. No generic playlists. Every setlist is built from scratch. We scale from 6 to 15 pieces with ceremony strings, cocktail jazz, DJ hybrids, photo booths, and lighting, plus a music app that makes planning easy. Hundreds of weddings in, a full dance floor still gets us.

“Funktastic Productions Llc. was an absolute hit at our wedding! From the very first interaction, their communication was quick, friendly, and super detailed - they clearly cared about making our day perfect. And that's exactly what they delivered. I chose to have live piano and violin at my ceremony and they sounded beautiful together. They played every song I requested with depth and precision- even the fairly new music (I requested Birds of a Feather for the recessional, and they NAILED it!) They provided mics to the musicians and the officiant stand, which ended up being a lifesaver for us. The DJ and violinist were both fun and talented, keeping the dance floor packed all night long. DJ Servaun in particular did an amazing job matching the vibes, emceeing, and balancing in the moment song requests with a killer playlist. Get the DJ with Musician accompaniment package!! The electric violin player lit up the dance floor & guests LOVED it! Quote: “Best wedding I’ve ever been to! I’ve never been to a wedding where ‘Not Like Us’ got a violin accompaniment”. I also used Funktastic for our photobooth service and it was one of the most popular parts of the wedding. People lined up at one point to take pics- and I was thrilled with the quality of the designs and service. Funktastic Productions provided incredible value and high quality entertainment that made our wedding celebration truly unforgettable. We can't recommend them enough!”

“Funk Almighty was hands down the highlight of our wedding! They brought the perfect vibe to our day. Everyone in the band is super talented and so kind - it was a pleasure working with them. Daryl was awesome and had great communication with us the entire process. All of the logistics were handled seamlessly - from the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to reception, to after hours DJ. We appreciated that they traveled to Wisconsin for our wedding! It was truly a treat for us and our guests. We received so many compliments on how awesome our music was! We were lucky to see Funk Almighty live at Joe's on Weed before our wedding but had them booked for our wedding well before that. We can't wait to see them live again! Thank you Funk Almighty!!!”

“I found Mike via thumbtack & although on there it stated he was booked on my wedding date I thought I’d still reach out to him. I’m so happy I did because he put me in touch with our dj, thankyouteddy and he did an awesome job djing for our wedding! Mike was very informative and gave me plenty of information. He also has you do a questionnaire to help narrow down the right dj for you based off your music preferences. Mike will reached out periodically to follow up & also puts you in touch with the dj the week of the wedding to go over details. Teddy arrived on time and kept everyone on our toes throughout the night. The only thing I will say, is if you’re doing bridal party introductions it’s best to rehearse it if possible. Or give an exact time of the song for your dj to play when each couple comes out.”
