The best DJ service in town! Nicky and his team went above and beyond to make our special day even better than we could've ever envisioned it. They offer anything and everything you could possibly think of for your big day and work with you to customize every detail to fit your exact needs. Nicky is so easy to work with, he is super friendly, professional and it felt like l've known him for years. We had very specific needs for our string quartet, had multiple areas for sound and mics at our venue, we also wanted a specific song list for the DJ... and every single request was done to PERFECTION, thank you! We danced on the clouds, which was MAGICAL, definitely add this when booking Nicky and his team, a must! Also, I have to give a huge shoutout to DJ JBlendz (oe), he has to be the BEST DJ I've ever heard at a wedding! He was enthusiastic, played all of our requests, had the smoothest transitions, read the room better than anyone, and even added his own touch to make the night an absolute blast. Amazing guy too! Thank you to Nicky and his team for making our wedding day the greatest day of our life, we couldn't be happier!!

I cannot recommend this band enough. They made our day so special and were the highlight of the reception. They were so easy to work with and sounded SO GOOD. Months after the wedding I asked if they still had the set list because I wanted to do something special with it, and they came through. They went above and beyond and I can’t say enough good things.

Drew was amazing from beginning to end. The planning process was easy, all our questions were answered and Drew had great suggestions. The planning app was super organized, we had a few Zoom planning calls and Drew worked directly with our venue to work through the details and take us out of the middle. He did a great job reading the room and keeping the party going. The most compliments we got from our guests was about how great our DJ was!

Luniks Entertainment

5.0

Chicago, IL
  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,000

Luniks Entertainment specializes in tailoring music to align with your individual style and musical preferences, ensuring that our DJs adeptly gauge the atmosphere to encourage your guests to engage and enjoy. Our comprehensive Wedding DJ packages encompass up tp 6 hours of music within the same room/space, featuring an extensive library of songs. Prior to your significant day, we engage in thorough consultations to align with your vision, discussing the timeline and curating a playlist for key moments. Leveraging various planning forms, we strive to orchestrate a seamless and memorable experience for your special day.

I'm a wedding planner based downtown Chicago and we've worked with all of the DJs at Luniks Entertainment. We have a wonderful experience at every wedding, no matter the DJ. They bring great energy but are not the "cheesy DJ" type. They have a great setup too, with a white lightup front which elevates the overall look of the DJ table (compared to just a table with linen). We will continue to recommend Luniks and look forward to working together at many weddings!

Swinging the Standards with Ross Failla

5.0

Brookfield, IL
  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $500

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.
