The Best Rap &amp; Hip Hop Wedding Bands &amp; DJs in Shelbyville, IL

“Out of the 100 DJs I’ve worked with over the years, Derek is truly in a class of his own. He’s the most professional, detail-oriented, and downright fun “make-you-want-to-dance-all-night” DJ I’ve ever met. He takes the time to really get to know each couple and goes above and beyond to ensure their reception timeline runs seamlessly. Whenever we coordinate an event together, I like to joke that I can just sit back and relax—because I know Derek is on top of everything. What sets him apart is that he doesn’t just stay behind the booth; he’s out on the dance floor doing line dances with your guests, belting out Taylor Swift, and getting the crowd hyped up. I can’t recommend him enough. If you book with Rios Mios, you won’t just get an incredible DJ—you’ll leave your wedding day with a new friend.”

“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.”

“DJ Wayzee absolutely made our wedding unforgettable. From the very first song to the last dance of the night, the energy never dropped. He didn’t just play music—he created an experience. Every track felt perfectly timed, every transition seamless, and somehow he knew exactly what the crowd needed before we did. What really stood out was how well he read the room. The dance floor was packed all night with guests of all ages, which is no small feat. He blended classics, modern hits, and our personal favorites in a way that felt natural and exciting. People are still talking about how much fun they had. On top of that, he was incredibly professional and easy to work with throughout the entire process. He listened to what we wanted, offered great suggestions, and executed everything flawlessly. No stress, no worries—just great vibes.

“HiMotive Entertainment & Photobooth did a great job keeping our wedding reception fun and upbeat. While their communication was a bit delayed leading up to the event, they were ultimately effective in executing on the day-of. The DJ kept the party going all night with a good song selection, though they did play 3 Taylor Swift songs in a row at the start, which we would have preferred more variety. The MC's ad-libs got a little overbearing at times, but overall they did a nice job sticking to the schedule and making important announcements. We'd recommend HiMotive to other couples looking for an energetic DJ.”

DJ Fidel

Rating: 5.0 (38 reviews)

“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!”

“We always ranked the music as the number one priority for our wedding, and we’re so glad we entrusted David Rothstein Band to bring our party to life. Planning a wedding during Covid had many challenges, including not being able to see the band live, but thankfully, David has so many live videos available where we can see the entertainment his band delivers day in and day out. Those videos, along with David’s passion for his work, made us confident to chose his team to make our day special. For our wedding, we had a classical duo during the ceremony, a pianist during cocktail hour, a jazz trio during dinner, and an incomparable 10 piece orchestra to dance the night away. From the first note to the final encore, we were BLOWN AWAY with the talent and energy that the band brought. We had a few special requests for the night - from a unique arrangement for our ceremony processional to a mashup of New York songs during the reception - and David’s team was beyond accommodating. We had dancing for 3 hours straight and not once did anyone leave the floor - the band was able to feel the energy in the room and chose the right song for the moment. I stumbled across the ingoing setlist after the party and was actually surprised to see that the band didn’t even stick to the songs they had picked - a sign that they adjusted based on what the crowd was loving. It’s been nearly a month since the big day and people keep telling us how amazing the music was, and we can’t stop watching the many videos David took from the night, reliving the magic that his band created. If you’re thinking about which band to have for your wedding, look no further than the David Rothstein Band - you won’t be disappointed!!”

“First, Nate, thank you for making our wedding dreams come true. Not only did our family and friends love and adore you, but you also redefined what it means to go above and beyond and care about people. That is simply what Nate does best. There aren't enough paragraphs to describe our experience with Nate. He always went out of his way to care for us. We were the priority. The process leading up to our wedding was so smooth. We always looked forward to our meetings with Nate. He made them fun and introspective, and he's highly accessible. From our first meeting, my now wife and I were hooked. He has a wonderful personality, and he never stopped caring about us. He made sure that our vision was met and executed to perfection. Also, the extra attention to detail was the icing on the cake. He listened to our vision and music choices and helped make our wedding possible. What is so great about Nate is that we never once felt like we were a number. Through this process, we all became family. In terms of the ceremony and reception, everything was perfect. The audio, the music, the vibes, and especially the beautiful uplighting were immaculate because of Nate. Not once did his energy drop, if anything, he made sure the party continued, and it did. He took control and didn't miss a beat on our special day. Nate understood exactly what to play, and he made our day easier. That's exactly what a DJ is supposed to do and then some. Also, his love and knowledge of music is just phenomenal. I know the themes of this review have been about family, caring, and service, and that's exactly what you get from Nate. Also, we had an amazing saxophone player who was fantastic. He's a great addition to Nate's platform. Let me say this. If we could get married again, Nate would automatically be the person we'd go with. There's no one like Nate, and there won't be. Nate is special and is truly one-of-a-kind. He creates memories, and we're just waiting to be able to have him as a DJ at another family function. He deserves all of the stars, likes, you name it. His YouTube page is amazing as well. Like I said, he is family now, and we love you, Nate! Which is why Nate Jones will always be our DJ.”

I've been a DJ since 1997 starting out on the radio in college rotating between the morning wake-up, afternoon drive and late night. I have been DJing weddings since 2005 and I love watching soon-to-be newlyweds, their friends, and families enjoy themselves and being responsible for leading those once in a lifetime moments.
