    Bride

    We booked the DJ Hybrid for ceremony music and piano, Photo Booth, DJ and electric violinist and saxophonist. Every aspect of our night was perfect. Our DJ used our song suggestions and kept the dancefloor full all night. The live musicians added an additional layer of fun, electricity and elegance to our night. Photobooth strips were custom, book was elegant, and recptionist helpful and kind! Would reccomend this company for all your wedding needs!

    Funktastic was everything we wanted in a wedding band. Honestly, I really was hoping for the dance floor to be the main event and to keep as many people on it as possible since thats my favorite part of weddings, and funktastic definitely fostered this environment! They do so much more than just sings the song you chose, they are collaborative and play to the crowd all night. The dance floor was poppin all night and everyone including us -- the bride and groom -- had the best time! Would highly recommend.

    What. A. Fun. Weddinggggg!!!!! Thanks in large part to Funktastic and the energy they brought. Picking a band was one of our first decisions and one of the best decisions we made :). Mike was amazing to work with and helped make the planning process super easy. The band learned a few custom songs for us and we couldn't be happier with how they turned out. Our dance floor was packed from the moment it opened and these guys kept the party going all the way to the end. 10/10 would recommend. We've seen Funktastic a couple times now and we can certainly vouch for them. Ugh. Still daydreaming about that magical evening. Thank you guys!!!!!

    Funktastic was a dream to work with. In the planning stages beforehand, Amber and the rest of the team were helpful, organized, and enthusiastic about making our wedding exactly how we pictured, and then some. They were excited to execute any special requests, whether that was playing specific songs, timing for different parts of the night, and especially walking us through the streets of Chicago led by their sax and trumpet. Amber and the rest of the band were so joyful when performing; it felt like they were genuinely happy to be such a big part of our day, which is all we can ask for. Thank you Funktastic!

    It has been over a month since our wedding, and we are still raving about how incredible Funktastic was! From the hands on planning process to the energetic day of MC'ing and high quality performance, Funktastic partnered with us to make our wedding a memorable experience. The band can truly play any song and kept us dancing by jamming out to songs that kept everyone on their toes. Selecting the music and creating a curated setlist could not have been easier while the DJ'ing and photo booth were added crowd pleasers. We can't recommend this group enough!


We typically offer 1-3 instruments with the DJ, the most popular being saxophone, drums, and electric violin. For a show-stopping option, we also feature Elektra Strings—a trio of electric violinists performing with the DJ! All our musicians use wireless mics, allowing them to move freely and perform right in the crowd. With a range of styles and price points, we have options to fit any vibe or budget.
Yes! We're fully insured and happy to provide a copy of our COI upon request.
Absolutely! We offer elegant piano and string ensembles for your ceremony, as well as a sophisticated jazz cocktail trio or dinner quartet to set the perfect ambiance for your special day.
