When we figured out a new venue he did everything he could to become familiar with the new space and the owner. We arrived to the reception with our vendors all knowing eachother like they were friends all along - it was so unified like one family coming together.

I've been to my fair share of weddings the last few years and I can definitively say that Yazz Events is one of the best live wedding bands I have ever seen. My calves were more sore the day after the wedding than when I ran the Chicago Marathon a few weeks prior. That's how hard I was dancing all night. We had a bilingual wedding (Spanish/English) and the MC, Hector, was able to speak and instruct guests in both languages. SO AWESOME! They also played the perfect blend of songs in both languages. Many of our Spanish speaking guests had not seen a live band like this before and they loved it. Amy, the owner, was amazing with planning and giving suggestions for the setlist. We also hired the jazz duo for our rehearsal dinner. They added such a calming presence to that night. 10/10 all around. Thank you Yazz Events!

Sweet Harmony Live Music: serving your local area nationwide!

  • Serves Richmond, IL

At Sweet Harmony, we love what we do! To us, it is a beautiful thing when we are playing music that helps you to feel the special moments of your life. We've grown fast since our founding in 2008, and Sweet Harmony now serves weddings across the United States with fine local musicians. As owner and pianist, I hold certain core values that inspire my work with our customers and our relationships in the professional world: honesty, teamwork, friendliness, strength, service, efficiency, and a commitment to excellence. Our musicians typically hold advanced degrees in music and care genuinely about bringing you the beauty of live performance!

Awarded Best of Zola
Our wedding on January 17, 2026, at The Wave Hotel in Orlando, Florida, felt like a living fairytale. The soul-stirring music of Sweet Harmony was the heartbeat that made every moment unforgettable. From our very first Zoom call to the final shimmering notes that lingered in the warm Florida evening air, this quartet didn’t just perform; they transformed our day into pure magic! Planning a destination wedding can be overwhelming, but Sweet Harmony made it effortless and joyful. Kasia Dolinska was an absolute dream to work with, warm, brilliantly organized, and genuinely excited about our vision. Her quick responses, thoughtful suggestions, and deep understanding of how music shapes emotion took all the stress out of the process. Their pricing was not only competitive but an incredible value for the level of talent and professionalism we received. We were especially blown away by their vast, beautifully curated song list; everything from timeless classics to modern indie favorites, which let us create a playlist that felt completely, authentically “us.” My musician husband even had the chance to discuss possibly performing alongside them, and Kasia’s enthusiasm made us feel like true collaborators rather than just clients. On the wedding day, Sweet Harmony arrived perfectly on time, elegantly dressed in classic black, adding an air of refined sophistication to our outdoor garden ceremony. But it was their sound that left us breathless. Rich, vibrant, and impossibly crisp, every note floated on the gentle breeze like liquid gold, wrapping our guests in warmth, romance, and pure joy. You could feel the emotion in the air, smiles widened, eyes glistened, and people swayed gently as the music wrapped around us like a loving embrace. The seamless transition from ceremony to cocktail hour was flawless: they simply turned their chairs and continued playing without missing a single beat, keeping the elegant atmosphere flowing effortlessly as guests mingled and celebrated. The absolute pinnacle of our day, a moment we still get chills thinking about, was their breathtaking rendition of “Turning Page” by Sleeping At Last during our processional, walking hand in hand down the aisle. The music was delicate, light, resonant, and so deeply moving that I instinctively slowed my steps, wanting to savor every exquisite note. It felt like the entire world paused; the strings poured out love, hope, and forever in a way that words can never capture. That single piece turned the beginning of our forever into something transcendent. We can’t wait to relive it in our wedding video. If you’re dreaming of a wedding that feels intimate, elegant, and emotionally unforgettable, Sweet Harmony is the only choice! Their extraordinary talent, heartfelt passion, and flawless professionalism elevated our day in ways we never imagined possible. Kasia and the entire quartet truly gifted us the most beautiful, memorable day of our lives. We recommend them with every ounce of our hearts! They don’t just play music; they create magic! Thank-you! Más & Vin

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! All of our must haves were played ( any songs from our do not play list were not played haha) and played right on time. (Timing is everything!!) I highly recommend Okyne Media Lab!!

Toast & Jam DJs specialize in making people dance by working closely with our clients to create customized playlists that reflect their tastes. We reject line dances, props, and other gimmicks in favor of perfectly planned and well-timed soundtracks that appeal to every partygoer. That means no Hokey Pokey and no Chicken Dance. At Toast & Jam, we believe that a thoughtful mix of pop favorites, hip-hop bootyshakers, Motown classics, and timeless standards are fun and self-respecting alternative to those embarrassing and played-out dancefloor clichés.

We had heard good things about Toast & Jam before we selected them for our wedding DJ, but Chris COMPLETELY blew us out of the water. Our dance floor had the best energy all night and he was an absolute consummate professional. People were coming up to us all night telling us how great he was, and afterwards were asking us for his contact information for their own events. We went in with guidelines on what we were thinking for the vibes of the night, and he took those ideas and made them a reality. We couldn't have been happier with the selection of Toast & Jam.

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!
