We couldn’t have picked a better DJ for our wedding! We wanted a mix of Polish and American music and DJ Joe/JBlendz surely delivered! He went above and beyond to get every one of all ages out on the dance floor and keep the party going.

Funktastic Productions Llc.

5.0

Chicago, IL
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $10,000

The name Funktastic is more than a genre of music - it’s a tight-knit family of stellar talent with a finely and meticulously curated repertoire spanning every style of music. 6-15 Piece Bands, Live DJ Hybrids, Photo Booths, and more, Funktastic is reserved for those who have a refined musical taste and need for having the best night of their lives. A collection of Chicago's finest black voices, musical authenticity comes from within the music. Musical authenticity comes from what's within the music. By tributing legendary artists with inclusion and diversity, we help preserve the African-American art form of Motown, Hiphop, Pop, and more!

It’s been 2 months since my wedding and I still have no words… Funktastic is by far the best wedding band I’ve ever heard (and yes, I’m biased so take it from the nearly 30 guests that told us the same)! Mike was so fantastic to work with, answering all of my many questions and putting me at ease. Amber was so incredibly organized and beyond helpful in working with us to create the perfect setlist. And now the band… while I was referred to Funktastic by some friends and coworkers, the thing that really sold me was the energy that the band brings, the band members’ MANY masters degrees in jazz (like what, music theory is so hard!!), and their insane ability to captivate an audience with their talent. Our singers were some of the best that I’ve ever seen, putting in these incredible riffs and belts that is practically unfathomable. Our band members were so in sync, vibing off of each other and putting a unique spin on every song. Needless to say, if I have any excuse to book a band for an event, I will 100% come back to Funktastic. Mike, Amber, and the entire band - thank you so much for making our music vision come to life! (Here’s to hoping all of our friends book you guys so we can keep seeing you perform)

Our wedding guests are STILL talking about Todd and what an amazing job he did for us and our wedding a whole month later. My husband and I knew next to nothing about wedding music or what a DJ even does. We had no idea how much work a DJ actually does to ensure the whole day runs smoothly and all the announcements are made and all that stuff that people sometimes forget about. We picked only a handful of songs for the ceremony and reception and he did all the rest which made it really easy for us. Todd is not just a fantastic DJ, he is the nicest person. He ended up staying a whole hour later than what we booked him for because our catering service was late and it pushed everything back. He not only calmed the chaos of these unfortunate circumstances but he ensured everyone was still having a good time and (this needs to be repeated) HE STAYED LATE! Besides getting married, hiring Todd was the best decision my husband and I have ever made!

We provided quite a few songs and Evan put them together perfectly and made our night so special and fun. Leading up to our wedding he really put us at ease at our meeting, he was prepared and knew exactly what kind of vibe we wanted to have throughout the entire night. Evan worked very well with all of our vendors and left us feeling confident with him all night long.

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. He kept the songs rolling, didn’t play the whole song, kept people on the dance floor dancing. He took requests from our guests and fit them in smoothly, and everyone was really happy. Highly recommend!
