“We hired Intrinsic Groove to perform at our wedding in April 2026 and it was nothing short of INCREDIBLE. We watched a lot of videos and felt confident they were going to be great, but they far exceeded our expectations. They were high energy, crowd engaging, phenomenal performers who met the vibe every single time. Vocals were KILLER. So many of our guests said it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to and I credit a lot of that to the energy the band brought. On top of a killer reception, they also did incredible ceremony and cocktail hour music that made everything flow harmoniously. You just can’t beat a killer band for your wedding, worth every penny! Highly recommend “Like a Prayer” by Madonna to get all generations singing along!! Photo Credit to our epic photographer, Victoria of An Endless Pursuit”

“We booked Groove is in the heart & DJ Clare for our wedding. We had a wide range of music tastes and weren’t sure how it would all come together but Clare handled it effortlessly. She read the room, kept the energy going, and made sure every moment had the perfect soundtrack. From the pre-ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, to the dance floor, everything flowed beautifully. We didn’t have to worry about a thing Clare had it all under control and kept the party going. She covered everything from oldies and Suavemente to Blink-182 and somehow made it all feel cohesive and fun. One moment that really stood out was when we asked to include a specific meaningful slow song that was used as the first dance at my husband’s brother’s wedding. Clare was completely receptive and even offered to call them out before playing it, turning it into a sweet and memorable moment for everyone. Thank you Clare!!!”

“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. I told Nicky about the nightmares I had & he went above & beyond & showed up to our wedding to say hey which just made it even more special.

“Anna Piotrowski with Piotrowski Strings is an incredible violinist!! She played the violin during our entire wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, our first dance, and then played the electric violin for an hour and a half during the open dance portion of the reception. Anna's music was extremely beautiful and touching for the ceremony and first dance and vibrant for the cocktail hour and reception. During the reception, she played the electric violin alongside our DJ and absolutely crushed it!

Every time Trevor is at my venue The Joinery, it's a breeze on my end.

  • Serves Lincolnwood, IL

After I finished my PhD in genetics and molecular biology at Yale, I left behind a career as a research scientist to pursue a lifelong dream as a professional sax player. While the pandemic was a roadblock to many musicians, I managed to gain momentum as a street performer when I began hosting outdoor concerts for the local entertainment-deprived graduate students. A few of my fellow graduates asked me to perform at their weddings, and even DJ, so I spent the next two years honing my skills and constructing a very 80's synthwave-style brand and equipment to match the vibe.

“Lucas was the life of the party at our Oak Hill Farm wedding and made our day truly incredible. From our first conversation, he was responsive and professional, getting back to us right away with thoughtful answers to all our questions. What really blew us away was how he learned multiple songs just for us and coordinated seamlessly with our DJ to create different vibes throughout the night. His energy was contagious and kept our guests dancing the entire time. We loved how he adapted the setlist and mood as the evening went on, from dinner to dancing. If you want a musician that will bring the fun and help create an unforgettable celebration, Nostalgia Rush is your answer. Our guests still talk about how much fun he brought to our wedding.”

From the moment things started, John brought amazing energy and kept everyone engaged throughout the entire event. What really stood out was how well he read the room. The music felt perfectly tailored to the crowd, transitions were seamless, and he created a fun, upbeat atmosphere that kept people on the dance floor and fully in the moment.

Considered a “Master of Genres”, he’ll make your big day a blast, regardless of your taste in music! A couple can expect a high-energy atmosphere for their wedding day! Not only will you feel the energy from DJ One Chance's fast-paced DJ style but his energy as an Emcee can be felt throughout your wedding day.

“Just to preface - I take wedding dance floors extremely seriously. I think it is make or break for the reception. My fiancé and I were trying to keep costs as low as we could and had our eyes on a few other DJ’s that were within our price range and had been good at other weddings until I stumbled on DJ One Chance. I knew from the second I saw his Instagram that I needed to have him at our wedding. His energy, charisma, and ability to read the room is incredible. He was a bit out of our original price range (which was very low to begin with, keep in mind) and I can absolutely tell you that he is worth every single penny. Every planning meeting we had with him got us more and more excited to have him with us on the day of. He listened to the vibe and energy we were going for and could not have done a better job. My parents were blown away that for a bit of a tight dance floor and 200 guests, the dance floor was PACKED from 8:30 - Midnight. Some quotes we received from friends were “I haven’t danced that much at a wedding in a long time” - Rick, 59 years old and “Your DJ was insane. He knew which songs were hits with the crowd and kept the energy going” - MK, 30. He was a hit with every age group and we are forever indebted him for creating the dance floor of our dreams. I have never seen so many people compliment a wedding DJ or a dance floor so passionately. DJ One Chance worked with us seamlessly to make sure we were able to have the best day ever. He even let us request one more last song after the “last song” that we picked ourselves didn’t hit as hard as we wanted. If you want the best dance floor experience for your wedding - this is your guy. Could not recommend any more.”

We have a great group of individuals and I can wait for you to meet them and me. Let’s connect.

“Within 15 minutes of the reception starting, we had SO many people coming up to us telling us this was the best wedding DJ experience they’ve ever had. No one wanted the party to end, the dancefloor was packed the entire night which was our goal. We have the most fun group of friends/family and every single one of them had an absolute blast. The only reason one of our friends left the dance floor was because he ripped his pants from dancing so hard. People are still texting us about the DJ/music. We will recommend you to everyone we know so we can have even more amazing nights like Saturday. We can’t thank the DJ firm enough for the energy and joy you brought our group. The saxophone was an absolute electric hit and everyone is still raving about that too. Out of this world performance from DG Sax & DJ Sye. Such an iconic duo of extremely talented gentlemen.

We even had several meetings to go over everything and were able to get answers to any of our questions. The day of the wedding, Paul made sure everything lined up with our timeline and even helped make a few last minute changes. I'd highly recommend Paul Michaels Events for your wedding or really any event that may require a DJ.”
