Awarded Best of Zola
Where can I even begin? Alex wasn’t just our dj, he pretty much helped us create a timeline for our entire day. He was our host, support system and truly helped us throw the best celebration. Our guests LOVED him they are still talking about how awesome our DJ was. For months, we jumped on calls to perfect the experience we wanted and Alex was so incredibly supportive the entire time. A week before our wedding we had to change our wedding and he was one of the first people we called. Within minutes he had lists of places to call. 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. Alex was the glue that made our event as magical as it was. There truly isn’t anyone like him we are forever grateful.

We are Lucky Entertainment. We call ourselves that because we feel lucky enough to be able to make a living doing something we enjoy. Based out of Southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois, we strive to provide you with a high energy professional Dj experience.

We’re so glad we went with DJ Mike for our wedding. Having gone to his karaoke nights for years, we knew he was a great guy experienced in keeping the party going well into the night. We learned that he’s also very adaptable when things like a tornado knocks out your wifi before the processional begins. He managed to find another way to play the extremely sentimental song for the bride to walk down the aisle too and give the groom his time with the karaoke mic despite mother nature trying to shut us down. He even gave the wine toast when my husband and I forgot and only said our thank yous! We also used his video guestbook service, which is a fantastic option for those who might skip hiring a videographer as it allowed us to see and hear messages from our guests. We absolutely loved reviewing their submissions the next day, reliving the joy of our loved ones celebrating with us and sending their best wishes. Highly highly recommend!

I don’t know where to start with Dillon and Electric Sugar…. They were incredible. Plain and simple. I worked with Dillon leading up to wedding weekend and he was kind, prompt, professional, and fun. We worked together to create a set list that was perfect for our taste in music. Dillon also played guitar at our ceremony and it was beautiful. He did a combo of guitar and prerecorded music per our request and it was perfect. He brought all the equipment needed for our officiant to have a microphone as well. The Electric Sugar band as a whole played for our reception. We had them for 3 hours and the dance floor was packed for 3 hours. They were so much fun and SO talented!!! It was the best party and they were a huge reason behind it! I would recommend them to anyone for their wedding or any other occasion they are looking to add spice and energy too.

Anthony Heis went above and beyond the call of duty for our wedding day. Not only was he an awesome DJ, but he also helped coordinate with our other vendors, so everything started on time and was seamless — which I so appreciated since I decided to skip hiring a wedding planner. I picked all my vendors based on personality because I wanted kickass people for a kickass wedding, and Anthony is exactly that. He brought the energy, kept the dance floor packed all night, and rolled with every request we threw at him. He read the crowd perfectly and hyped everyone up. We’re talking music for the kids, the millennials, the Gen Z crowd, and even the boomers. Seriously though, he made the night unforgettable.

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!

We found MATS at a friends wedding and knew right away that we wanted them to be our wedding band! They were both affordable as an 8 piece band (but you have many options) & amazing having the wedding guests on the dance floor the entire night! Marlon coordinated everything with us and made it very easy with a template he already built. We let them choose the songs with a few do not play lists. They even let us customize the night including a song they learned for us by our request, singing happy birthday to my maid of honor, & letting my father in law sing a song with the band. It was all so memorable! I would recommend them to anyone, especially if having your wedding in the greater Chicago area!!
