We recently had our wedding on May 3, 2024, and Jeff from BTSound was our DJ. Jeff was absolutely awesome to work with and really listened to everything we had to say. We had an interview with him beforehand, and it made me instantly want to work with him. As an avid music fanatic and house head, we didn't want just a "wedding DJ"; We wanted a real DJ, and Jeff truly is one. He has the background to back it up. Jeff was very easy to work with, incredibly personable, and willing to play whatever we wanted to hear. We couldn’t have found a better DJ for our wedding.

White Rose Weddings

  • DJ
  • Starts at $850
  • Serves Manhattan, IL

So, about us…White Rose Weddings started in 2008 as a small disc jockey company using my initials G.A.C. for the business name. My older sister would poke fun at the fact that my initials spelled “gac” and our colors are green. She even made a comparison to a kid’s TV show “slime”. But she was right, “My Wedding DJ is from GAC”, didn’t really roll off the tongue. We would always talk about what the new name should be to highlight the level of service we were always looking to provide. The agreement was made on, White Rose Weddings.

My husband and I were recommended White Rose Weddings by a family friend. From the beginning they were easy to communicate with and we were quickly paired with Jason as our potential DJ. Jason made us feel very comfortable with his expertise and experience, he also had amazing reviews online, so we booked him for our big day. I am so thrilled and happy we did because Jason was so easy to work with up till the wedding day and on the wedding day he delivered exactly what he promised and more! The music he played was spot on for our guest list and age demographics. The dance floor was packed from start to finish and I couldn't drag myself away from it for too long! We have received so many compliments about our DJ and music, on the actual day and for days after! We truly appreciated how special he helped make our day! We cannot recommend enough!

I got into DJing by accident. After learning that working as an Industrial Engineer in a fortune 500 company didn't bring me much fulfillment, a friend suggested I join his DJ company. His company supplied DJ services for over 200 weddings a year! After my first wedding gig I was hooked. It gave me purpose, and an outlet I never knew was possible. I quickly became the most requested DJ in the company and within my market. Now I DJ on my own, and I'm so blessed to be able to curate an atmosphere of joy where families can connect.

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.

Okyne Medialab is a contemporary wedding DJ business based in Austin, Texas and Chicago, Illinois. This entertainment company strives to bring a fresh perspective to the DJ industry. While still taking the lead on the night, these DJs will remain true to your vision and expectations.

A few days before our wedding, I got a message from Al saying our DJ had COVID and that they were going to send someone else. I was super bummed because I had loved our original pick (DJ Marcus) who did a fantastic job DJing our friends wedding in 2021. The replacement DJ (DJ Jose) called us right away to review all the details of the night with us. I was still hesitant, but was beginning to feel more comfortable during the conversation. On wedding day, DJ Jose was kind, professional, punctual, and ABSOLUTELY KILLED IT on the dance floor!! No one sat down for the entire night and guests are STILL raving about DJ Jose! Many guests have even requested Jose's song selections for the entire day (ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception) because they loved it so much! Props to Okyne for having such talented DJs that can pick up events for each other and still do a fantastic job. Al was very responsive and easy to work with, as well! Smart choice for any couple that is looking for a party on the dance floor
