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 :)

Really great to work with, relaxed and fun but professional at the same time. He provided a microphone for the officiant and there were no problems. He did a great job making announcements during the reception, keeping things moving, and the music was fantastic.

DRS MUSIC, INC

Evanston, IL
  • Musician
  • Starts at $5,000

David Rothstein Music was started in 1999. David believes each couple/client deserves to get exactly what they need for their specific event. DRM has a wide variety of ensembles and song choices to make every event meet and exceed your expectations!

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!!

A Chicago based DJ that has worked events in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, New York City, Miami, and Internationally. He likes to draw from from his roots in Houston, New Orleans and current home of Chicago to create a fun atmosphere for his clients. Graduate of Xavier University of Louisiana and Tulane University in New Orleans, this former social worker knows a good party.

DJ Chriss was so great to work with for my husband and I's wedding day. We really took our time to create a more modern wedding playlist from ceremony, to cocktail hour, and into reception as we wanted a more upbeat and lively atmosphere that is in sync with who we are as a couple rather than your standard classic wedding playlist we've heard over and over that we can't really dance to the way we would like. He listened to us and appreciated the list we sent over while understanding our taste and adding some songs to it throughout the wedding day that made for an amazing time that our guests can't stop talking about! -Kristin and Ryan Roberts 6.25.22

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!!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
To us, the DJ was a critical part of our wedding reception. We wanted someone that would participate with us and our guests. OBIE was an instant hit! He has the type of personality that fits in with many. Whether it was the older couple who had the most years married or the younger generation... he has a way to connect and entertain. He checked in with us to be sure the "feel" was what we hoped for and was eager to please. We highly recommend Obie!!

10/10 would recommend Nick and Impulse Entertainment. Nick was very professional and organized. Our friends and family were on the dance floor the whole night and he curated an entire playlist based on our preferences. In addition, he went above and beyond by being super attentive to the Groom and Bride and kept an eye on the timeline to keep things moving. Best investment we made for our wedding! Took the pressure off of the Bride knowing the someone else was keeping an eye on everything!

We also gave him songs that we did not want played which were not! Almost everyone at my wedding was on the dance floor because of the fun exciting atmosphere he made! He has multiple different packages you can choose from and you can also add things to your package if you don’t see it on the one you like! The lighting he also has to offer was amazing and made for some cool pictures as well. You can get ahold of him easy whenever you have questions or concerns as well.

Absolutely amazing experience working with this team! We had received several strong recommendations for Crown Ent when we were on the hunt for our wedding DJ and we are so glad we made the choice to hire them. We are so happy with not only the music DJ Samir put on for our baraat, ceremony, and reception, but also with his attention to detail, constant friendly communication, and willingness to go above and beyond what we asked of him. Throughout the planning process, Samir was readily available for input on all aspects of the wedding weekend (timelines, floor plans, song edits, lighting items, backup plans, the list goes on and on). He was always a quick text away for any clarifications/questions/recommendations—we believe this focus on customer service is something that sets these guys apart from the rest. Instead of going through the hassle of providing a song list, we had a quick conversation with Samir about what we were looking for and he took that and ran with it. Our guests had an absolute blast as there were no lulls on the floor which we loved. We cannot stress how lucky we feel to have had Samir as our DJ.

Brooklyn, NY

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.

If there’s one thing you should take away from this review, it is this - You should DEFINITELY hire Herbert Holler to DJ your wedding! From the very first phone call, it was obvious that he is someone who loves his job. He has an extensive knowledge and love of music means no matter what you want the soundtrack of your wedding or event to be, he’s got you and your guests of ALL ages covered. He was communicative, easy to work with, clearly invested in making sure we had a great time at our wedding, and that everything ran as smoothly as possible. In fact, at one point, he noticed from behind the booth that we were one man short for lifting someone up in the chair during our extensive Hora. So what did he do? He put his headphones down, ran onto the dance floor, and kept the party going! As a musician and music lover myself, it was hard to trust someone else with the evening’s setlist, but we are so glad we did. He was super keyed into the dance floor, and read the crowd like an expert, always knowing exactly what song to serve up. We danced our aes off and could not have had a better evening. We even rented one of his lighting packages, which he set up to perfection. Herbert, thank you for helping us with our live performances, and for giving us such an incredibly memorable night!!

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.

Angie is such a professional! So very worth it to have someone who knows exactly what they are doing! She was so kind and professional and wow did she know her stuff and the details and had it ready! 10/10 would recommend her and this company!

Brooklyn, NY

  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Arlington Heights, IL for additional fees

My love of music started in the back seat of my dads car as he took me to daycare, with Marvin Gaye's "What's Goin On" on repeat. My love of music spans generations, cultures and genres, and has taken me all over the world, from England, Spain, St. Marteen, and Austria. My hope is that you allow me to curate a musical experience that will leave your guest talking about your wedding for years to come. As for me, I am a Brooklyn native, who during the pandemic was able leave corporate career to pursue my passion of music. My perspective, is to include and create, safe spaces for guests to feel young, and carefree - even if for a few moments.

Best decision we made regarding our wedding was booking Gregory. His energy, enthusiasm, and passion for curating the perfect music set for us was evident from the very start. He really cared to get to know us, our culture, and our musical styles—which was a very wide range! He really mixes all genres effortlessly. Like he’s truly an incredible artist. In addition to his musical talent, what’s most admirable is his love for music and passion for how music should make people feel. He put a smile on everyone’s face by interacting with the crowd and showing our guests new dance moves! Even though our wedding was 30 people the energy he created made it feel like a HUGE PARTY. Our other vendors even stayed beyond their contractual times because they loved the DJ and we’re having so much fun they didn’t want to leave just yet! Gregory is still the talk of our wedding, weeks later, guests have texted us randomly just to say how great the DJ was at our wedding.

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.

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!

We absolutely loved DJ Karl! He was such a sweetheart and so flipping talented! I had multiple guests asking me for his business card after the wedding. He did such an amazing job listening to what type of music we wanted and making sure he played exactly what he we hoped for. You could tell he cared deeply for his job and was all about providing amazing service. His voice is phenomenal - I would highly recommend him for DJ and band services. Thank you Karl for making our night so special. Everyone had a blast and that was largely because of you. Best DJ EVER! Don't hesitate to hire him! :)

  • Serves Arlington Heights, IL for additional fees

Motor City HDJ started in 1999 as a way to pay for college. The more of my friends' weddings I attended, the more I realized how many bad DJs are out there in the world. I decided at that point I was going to be the "anti-DJ," committing myself to do the opposite of the things that bad DJs do.

Whew it's tough to put in to words just how incredible it is working with Brett. He is hands down my top referral for couples when looking for a DJ. He puts the couples NUMBER ONE, he ensures the music + vibe are what the couple want, & above all he loves this job. Brett is one to do 1000%, hop on the dance floor for a line dance, throw together new ideas + keeps the evening on schedule. From a photographer stand point, he LOVES working on the team. As long as you communicate the day + work as a team member he ensures you're not missing a thing if you run for a meal or water break. I am a massive Brett fan from all aspects!

He married my husband and I on his OWN wedding anniversary - I was so thankful and appreciative that he wanted to celebrate our day with us! Brian and his team did an amazing job the day of the wedding, and also the time leading up to the wedding. I had no idea it would be so hard to pick songs (or how many songs we needed) - and Brian was very patient with us and he even gave some suggestions of songs. The day went flawlessly and I would recommend him to anyone in a heart beat! The prices were fair and everything that we paid for, we received!
