Nick and his team were the first vendors we booked once we set our wedding date! We knew we loved his style from my sisters wedding and we HAD to have them apart of our wedding day. He’s professional, so energetic, and goes above and beyond in every aspect! Nick and his team brought us our first drinks of the night, we’re so attentive to where my husband and I were during the reception - If we left the room for a moment, he didn’t play any of our requested songs he knew we’d want to be present for! The biggest compliment we receive from our wedding guests is still about Nick and the music - songs were played for just the right amount of time and he does an amazing job of keeping the energy up ALL NIGHT. One of my main goals for our reception was keeping the dance floor packed the whole time and Nick did just that. I honestly can’t say enough amazing things about Nick and his team at Impulse Entertainment. Impulse Entertainment is the vendor I recommend first to any of my friends once they get engaged. Thank you for giving us an amazing experience, Nick and team!

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.

3rd Coast Live was the live music for our wedding at monte bello estate. They delivered an amazing performance. While their communication leading up to the wedding could have been a bit better, they ultimately worked everything out and ensured our day went off without a hitch. The quality of their work was truly outstanding - they were the perfect addition for our cocktail hour and ceremony. One highlight was when they surprised my husband by playing a Lord of the Rings song as his groomsmen walked down the aisle, which was such a thoughtful and personal touch. We had an absolute blast celebrating with 3rd Coast Live, and they were worth every penny. I would highly recommend them to any couple looking for an incredible live music touch to their wedding.

What is a Hybrid DJ? I asked the very same question. And boy were we glad we found out!! Imagine taking a fabulous DJ and adding a few instrumental pieces to enhance the party even more. That's what we did, and the dance floor was full the entire evening. Our super-awesome DJ, owner Al Okyne, along with his team of a drummer & saxophonist, helped make our son's wedding reception one everyone is still talking about. The saxophonist even played amongst the dancing guests, and everyone loved it. So do I recommend Okyne Entertainment Group...Absolutely!

DJ Motiv was extraordinary. I was so impressed by his professionalism, communication, and willingness to make sure our night was perfect. I was skeptical at first with some reviews mentioning that the DJ’s weren’t playing the songs they chose. I immediately reached out and that was informed that it would not be an issue. ALL of our chosen music was played, with some song requests of guests (with bride’s approval, per DJ motiv - loved that). DJ Motiv checked in with us constantly, even to make sure our food was at our table, if we needed drinks, if the music was going well, and if there was anything he could do. He was going above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed. I even threw in special requests during my wedding, including him stopping my parent dance half way (on purpose) as if the music turned off, to take the mic and give a short speech. He did it phenomenally. I had a game request, with him being the commentator and director of, and he took that role and ran with it. The wedding guests LOVED him. I have nothing negative to say about his services. Even the photobooth was done great! I also had a custom sign made, with our new last name, and it was perfect! Such a great item to be able keep, and you get a year warranty on it. Anyway, I highly recommend this DJ!! He MADE our wedding perfect. Everyone loved him.

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.

By connecting with you early on, I ensure your entire day flows seamlessly according to your specific vision.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

From the first time I talked with Bill, I was impressed with the can-do attitude. After speaking to about 5 other DJs, the difference was clear - I was dealing with a true professional here. A Sound Decision DJ service delivered well above my expectations. Their communication was fantastic, easy, and they provided superb service throughout the planning process. The quality of their work and value was unmatched - they truly covered it all. The timing of the music at my wedding was perfect, and I was amazed by how much they cared about making our special day a success. I would highly recommend A Sound Decision DJ service to any couple looking for an affordable, top-quality disc jockey.

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!

Drew from Crimson Events was our DJ for our wedding ceremony and reception. He did an absolutely phenomenal job! He worked with us beforehand to get a feel for us as a couple and what we wanted for our big day. He was very easy to work with both before and during the wedding. He kept our guests engaged and entertained. He was able to accurately read the room and tailor the music to keep everyone happy. When several guests requested karaoke (which was not discussed beforehand) he doublechecked that it was okay with us before moving forward. DJ’s at an event can definitely make or break an occasion. Drew definitely enhanced our wedding experience. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fun DJ.

Funk Almighty was hands down the highlight of our wedding! They brought the perfect vibe to our day. Everyone in the band is super talented and so kind - it was a pleasure working with them. Daryl was awesome and had great communication with us the entire process. All of the logistics were handled seamlessly - from the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to reception, to after hours DJ. We appreciated that they traveled to Wisconsin for our wedding! It was truly a treat for us and our guests. We received so many compliments on how awesome our music was! We were lucky to see Funk Almighty live at Joe's on Weed before our wedding but had them booked for our wedding well before that. We can't wait to see them live again! Thank you Funk Almighty!!!

If you're looking for a DJ who goes above and beyond, Mike is your guy. From start to finish, he was the definition of professional. Responsive, organized, and genuinely invested in making the day perfect. Communication was excellent throughout the entire planning process. Mike made sure to walk through the venue with us ahead of time so that every logistical detail was locked in well before the big day. He handled all the traditional wedding DJ responsibilities flawlessly, but he also embraced our more unique requests without hesitation. We asked him to play video game lo-fi music during cocktail hour and dinner, and he absolutely nailed it. We're also huge fans of metal and rock, and we were initially worried that might not translate well to a wedding dance floor. He was able to mix those songs in live and keep the energy high all night. It turned out to be one of our favorite parts of the reception, and honestly something we weren't sure we'd get to experience. On top of everything else, our guests couldn't stop complimenting his work. He kept the floor packed and the vibe exactly right from beginning to end. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out, and we recommend Mike without reservation.
