Visit our website for upcoming showcase dates where you can see the band perform LIVE before booking. You can also tailor the dream band to suit your style and budget. We also offer Photo & Video services!

We booked BWK originally for our November 2022 wedding. They had come highly recommended by two cousins who also hired them (and we LOVED them at those weddings so knew that they could deliver a good time!). When an unfortunate family emergency happened and we had to change our wedding date, Taylor was absolutely so kind and easy to work with, and made the very difficult task of moving a wedding from Fall to the following summer, a lot easier to manage. The band was sooo spectatular too. We did an 11-piece band and every single member completely brought their A-game the whole night. We received so many compliments on how much fun our dance floor was. Thanks BWK for making our night one to never forget :)

We have been to so many weddings and I have to say Todd is the best! He really is an awesome MC and DJ! Everyone could hear speeches clearly, his lights added a fun and unique touch, and his music was the best part. He could read the room and had our guests dancing literally the entire time.

Okyne Medialab is a contemporary wedding DJ business based in Austin, Texas and Chicago, Illinois. This entertainment company strives to bring a fresh perspective to the DJ industry. While still taking the lead on the night, these DJs will remain true to your vision and expectations.

A few days before our wedding, I got a message from Al saying our DJ had COVID and that they were going to send someone else. I was super bummed because I had loved our original pick (DJ Marcus) who did a fantastic job DJing our friends wedding in 2021. The replacement DJ (DJ Jose) called us right away to review all the details of the night with us. I was still hesitant, but was beginning to feel more comfortable during the conversation. On wedding day, DJ Jose was kind, professional, punctual, and ABSOLUTELY KILLED IT on the dance floor!! No one sat down for the entire night and guests are STILL raving about DJ Jose! Many guests have even requested Jose's song selections for the entire day (ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception) because they loved it so much! Props to Okyne for having such talented DJs that can pick up events for each other and still do a fantastic job. Al was very responsive and easy to work with, as well! Smart choice for any couple that is looking for a party on the dance floor

started DJ' ing as a kid with old fashion turntables and records about 30 years ago preforming at various dances, parties and events. I became a police officer 20 years ago but just couldn't give up my passion for DJ'ing , so I started up my own DJ company in 2010 and currently "patrol the streets by day and DJ by night" so to speak. Because I have a stable income source, I don't DJ just to make money , and its "not just a job to me". It's my passion! As a result, your event gets 110% of all my effort and attention because I love what I do and care that my clients are always satisfied

Five-O is the way to go! Tom was the best DJ we could have asked for for our wedding. He provides you with great planning materials to set you up for success for your big day, and sits down with you to go over every detail so the day goes without a hitch. Our reception could not have gone any better. Our goal was to have our dance floor packed the whole night, and Tom accomplished just that. He was fun, engaging with our guests, and read the room well to keep the night moving. We would hands down recommend Tom to anyone. Thank you Five-O DJ!!

Moline, IL

  • Starts at $3,500

I got into DJing by accident. After learning that working as an Industrial Engineer in a fortune 500 company didn't bring me much fulfillment, a friend suggested I join his DJ company. His company supplied DJ services for over 200 weddings a year! After my first wedding gig I was hooked. It gave me purpose, and an outlet I never knew was possible. I quickly became the most requested DJ in the company and within my market. Now I DJ on my own, and I'm so blessed to be able to curate an atmosphere of joy where families can connect.

DJ Obie was so fun and easy to work with. Right away it felt like we had known each other for ages. He knew how to match the vibe we wanted and how to get the party started. He keeps it going all night long and gets everyone on the dance floor. He was one of the highlights of our wedding that our guests kept talking about.

Honey+Vinyl

Brooklyn, NY
  • Production company
  • Serves Chicago, IL

After years working at a luxury entertainment design company in NYC, I noticed a void in live music, one where planners saw music as the background to the main event rather than something that can guide and elevate it. The bands weren’t listening to the room. We should make deliberate music choices based on the people in it, reacting to them. Not the other way around. My desire to create this harmony sparked the founding of Honey+Vinyl in 2013. Ten years in the industry, she began to dive deeper into the science of sound; how lighting, décor, food and timing interact with music, which drove her to establish the Sonic Sommelier™ service.

We hired Honey & Vinyl for our wedding and liked them so much we had them back for our anniversary party. Honey has an amazing voice and spent time with us to not only create a personalized song list but also understand the "mood" we were trying to create for our events. The group's performance at both events was nothing short of spectacular and really added the extra "wow" we were seeking.

Awarded Best of Zola
Look no further than The Hook Club for your wedding band. We genuinely cannot say enough good things. Prior to the wedding, I researched and listened to a dozen or more bands. We kept coming back to THC because their online videos had an authentic, non-studio-enhanced sound that still beat out the quality of in-studio work from others. We really didn't want to take the final leap though until we could see them live. Dan was super-patient with us throughout the process, keeping us posted on when a showcase came down the pipeline. When we finally got to see them, it took about 2 songs to confirm they were the band for us. On our big day, we had an 11-piece band after the bride's dad surprised us with an add-on fiddler. Having said this, the band had 14 or 15 different people making music over the course of the night, as even their sound engineers got in on the action at different times. Every style and tempo was phenomenal--from songs in Spanish to the Hora to Motown to pop, they nailed it all. My wife and I have different tastes in music, yet both came away immensely satisfied with the setlist. I can't even count how many of our guests came up to us throughout the night complimenting the band. On top of it all, they learned (at least) four special request songs--these were performed with the perfect balance of true to why we love the songs, but with that live-music spin on things. THC was our favorite of all the vendors we worked with. Seriously--hire them now and save yourself time to plan the million other things on your list!

Justin took the time to get to know us, our musical tastes, preferences, dislikes - he worked with our extensive list of songs we loved and created a great playlist full of songs we love and some songs we didn't know but also really enjoyed! He also did a great job emceeing (not too loud or over the top bar mitzvah style which was our worry!) and making sure the reception went smoothly. When a surprise ending of the night ended up in a fire alarm and tons of fire trucks, Justin rolled with it in the best way - playing lots of fire-themed music -- it made everything so much more fun!

The only suggestion I have (for couples not Veronica herself!) is having some way to record her playing so you are able to enjoy it as well after.

SO Rhythm & lights was founded in 1989. And the premise is really simple, simple pricing that includes everything we got. We only have two add ons. If you need the ceremony, and if you want a photobooth. Our teams going to setup all the lighting, and give you their all every single time, because the price doesnt dictate if they do that. We got you covered from every aspect. We do not do hourly rates, so no need to worry about the smallest details. BEcause we worry about the smallest details. You can just have FUN at your wedding.

Rhythm and Lights is the best team ever! They did my sisters wedding in 2019, my cousins wedding in 2020, and my wedding in 2021. Each and every time they did not disappoint! They know how to entertain a crowd, and even with my crazy requests they were spot on with everything. We had the pleasure of working with Mitch at our wedding and he was fantastic! What an amazing team. I highly recommend :)

When it has to be "once-in-a-lifetime". SoundFire DJ was established with a single goal in mind: to bring the next-level DJ experience to the Northeast Wisconsin market. A market that has otherwise only experienced DJs that emulated the radio, or what a regular person could do with an iPod. Now, more than ever, having a big music library isn't what matters about a DJ. It's about having a creative professional that knows how to lead a party, and bring it to a successful outcome with some class and pizazz!

Soundfire DJ did an exceptional job with our wedding on July 11, 2020 in Door County. The detail and hard work that was put into our ceremony and reception was really what put SFDJ above any other wedding DJ I have experienced. Shawn was excellent with talking to our guests and staying open to schedule changes throughout the night. He kept in contact with me throughout the entire wedding and was super fun and brought a great energy! Tyler’s music was amazing. I loved that he fused a bunch of songs that we requested together to make it more fun. He read the room and would play slow songs or fast songs at perfect times. Requests were always granted and they had an awesome selection of songs available. I loved that we were able to make playlists beforehand with their easy-to-use website. I also appreciated that we would get monthly emails with general wedding reminders of what is typically done that month during wedding planning. That was super helpful for myself who did not hire a wedding planner and had zero experience with planning events. SFDJ truly helped make our special day absolutely perfect, regardless of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since our wedding in 2020, we have been to several weddings of our friends and family that used SFDJ simply because of the experience they had at our wedding! I look forward to going to other events in the future with you guys!

We are a collective of highly trained photographers and DJs. Our photographers combine natural portraiture with a creative documentary style to tell a unique story for each couple that chooses us. Masters of their craft, C+A's DJs specialize in turntable DJing, giving your event an authentic music experience.

My husband and I absolutely love Cage and Aquarium! We utilized them for both photography and DJ services on wedding day. As for our photographers, they were incredible in their photography skills but also in supporting us on wedding day. They helped make the day run smoothly and were efficient in coordinating things such as taking large family photos and enduring our travels around the city between the ceremony and reception. As for our DJ, he was also amazing. He kept the reception running smoothly and was so personable and professional. I couldn't have been more impressed with the music selection our DJ chose -- so many of our guests said that we had the most amount of people dancing at a wedding that they'd seen. I can't recommend C&A enough.

Chicago, IL
  • Band or Ensemble

Gussied is a full service wedding band that offers ceremony, cocktail, dinner, dancing music, and more. Instead of trying to duplicate a song you've heard on the radio, we "gussy it up" into our own bluegrass inspired own style. We play farms, barns, wineries, swanky lofts, country clubs and everything in between - even summer camps! We also play destination weddings, festivals and private events. No party is too small or too big. We have a professional sound team and various music packages to suit all of your needs.

We hired the duo to play our ceremony. Their modern spin on folk and bluegrass music set the perfect tone for our summery outdoor wedding. They went above and beyond by learning and performing a song I had written for my husband. I highly recommend Gussied!

Mike did an awesome job at our wedding!! From the start he proved that he would be the one running the wedding, making sure everything ran smoothly. He made sure we stayed on our timeline and made sure photographers were around for cake cutting, first dances, etc. When it came to music, we got nothing but great reviews from our guests!

I love what I do. I have been singing since age 8 and DJing since 15. I found a way to combine the best parts of music for an amazing wedding experience! People are wowed at the elegance of live music during cocktails as a first impression. Then they are treated to their favorite songs on the dance floor with me as the dj! It’s a perfect balance!

If you are searching for a DJ, look no further. Karl made our reception flow so easily. Between his thorough questionnaire and past experience, he took our vision and made it into a reality! He engaged our guests and took it upon himself to make sure the dance floor was always full! I have been to weddings where the DJ does not adapt to the room, but Karl is the exact opposite! He made sure to sus out the music preferences and include all age groups. We loved having him and we are so glad we entrusted him with our special day!
