I can't say enough good things about working with Todd! I just got married October 14th, 2023 so we recently worked with him. Throughout the entire planning process he was super responsive and accommodating. I am a type A personality so I had put together an entire timeline of our wedding along with a list of songs to play and a do not play list. My husband likes grunge/Depeche Mode and I like Pop music- somehow Todd was able to play a good mix of everything that we wanted. I also had Persian music to mix in that I provided to Todd a few days before the wedding (my dad got it to me very last minute) and Todd had no issues with it. My only complaint from my guests is that he played so many AMAZING songs back to back that they didn't have enough time to breathe because they wanted to dance to every song- what a great complaint from our guests!!! I also didn't have a typical Coordinator or Wedding Planner which put me in a really bad situation- there were a lot of things that were forgotten because I didn't have a lead person. Todd saw the gaps and stepped in to help me every step of the way. He is such a great person. Both my husband and I were honored to have him with us on our big day! Looking for DJs can be really difficult and stressful. Take it from a 2023 Bride- JUST HIRE TODD. You won't be disappointed!

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.

We came across Monu and the team while attending another wedding this past year, and at that time we knew we had to have them DJ our wedding! From the initial inquiry till the night of our reception, Monu and Maulin did everything they could to make sure the entire process would be as seamless as possible. Our reception was an unforgettable night for us! The dance floor was lit up the entire night and we honestly could have kept going for a few more hours with Monu playing all the right music. From the white vinyl floor, the 3 LED screens, lighting, the fog machine, and of course, the incredible music, CSE was able to provide us with everything we needed to make this night unforgettable for us. Till this day we recommend CSE to all of our friends looking for an awesome team to work with for their weddings.. Love you guys! :)

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.

  • Serves Evanston, 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.

TLDR - The Hook Club KILLED IT! Planning a wedding is hard and planning a wedding during a pandemic is near impossible - Dan and The Hook Club made that process so much easier! Not only was Dan a pleasure to work with when we had to reschedule, but was always available to answer questions throughout the entire planning process. It was awesome to be able to see the band play live at several of their showcases leading up to our wedding (pre-pandemic) and when it came to the day of they did NOT disappoint. Everyone was amazing from L'Marco , Bree, Dan - to the rest of the band who's names I wish I knew - extra shout out to the sax player (because who doesn't love a good sax moment). The band did an amazing job curating the perfect playlist that covered all genres and kicked off with an awesome hora which was a requirement for my family. You can tell how much THC loves what they do and it shows when they are right in the middle of a dance circle singing with the guests or over at the bar singing on a handheld mic getting even more guests back onto the dance floor. Highlight of my night was doing the electric slide (to a song I can't remember, but was into) with about half the band on the middle of the dance floor without any planning whatsoever. Everyone keeps raving about the band and I can't wait to see them again soon at friends weddings or at a future showcase. Book THC and you won't regret it!

He is an excellent team player and collaborated well with our event planner, sound technician, and DJ to make sure he sounded perfect for our guests. He is a talented musician who engages very well with guests through his music. We would 100% recommend him to other couples looking for a unique live music experience at their event.

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 Evanston, 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.

Lisle, IL

  • Serves Evanston, IL

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!

Brighton, MI

  • Serves Evanston, 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!
