3rd Shift DJs is an Elgin, IL-based DJ company that specializes in weddings and nuptial events.

With years of experience under his belt, Alex helps newlyweds across the country celebrate their new chapter, creating personalized playlists that have everyone dancing all the way home.

My wife and I contacted Alex as we found his business on weddingwire. Once we reached out, Alex responded fairly quickly and a call was scheduled. He was very patient with us and very transparent of how he runs things as the DJ. DJ’s can really make or break your wedding and we wanted to ensure that we had someone good lined up. Alex was very specific on what his expectations were, which really put us at ease. During the planning process, he was extremely helpful in helping us make some decisions regarding what to have and what not to have. Alex surpassed both of our expectations on the actual day. The wedding flow was extremely smooth and he worked with us for our playlist. I would 15/10 recommend Alex. He is an amazing DJ for all your needs. Thanks again Alex!

Drew is a professional through and through. As a fellow business owner, I nerded out over his spreadsheets and processes. As far as working with him as a DJ, it was a seamless experience. Drew was available for multiple calls to plan and re-plan our March 2020 reception that was rescheduled to November 2021. He was patient throughout and assured us he was there for us throughout this extended timeline. He worked incredibly well with all of our vendors, including doing the AV setup for our ceremony music act and officiant. He's very detail-oriented, which definitely came in handy while navigating the music aspect of the event-planning process! Drew's DJ set during our wedding kept everyone dancing and singing. He accommodated our requests to troll everyone with a fake intro to "Never Gonna Give You Up" as our first dance song and hooked up some microphones so my husband and I could perform our favorite karaoke duet. I think he must've read our minds when he played "Bohemian Rhapsody" as our last song — one of our favorites, though not mentioned during the planning process. If you want the music for your event handled, to your taste — rest assured that Drew has your back and is on top of the important details!

The Good Kidds

Chicago, IL
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,500

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

We highly recommend Darrin from Premier Entertainment to be your wedding DJ! Darrin communicated clearly throughout the planning process, kindly reminded us of upcoming deadlines, responded very quickly to questions, helped us upload music selections in the app, and was professional, yet personal. A few weeks before the wedding, we had a meeting to go through details for the reception which we found to be so helpful. Darrin was knowledgeable and experienced which enabled him to give us good insight and direction for some things that still needed to be decided. The quality of the sound was incredible—the music sounded awesome but wasn’t too overwhelming for the room. This was perfect for making the dance floor both inviting and enjoyable for our wedding guests. Our reception space was relatively large so we were concerned about people being able to hear the speeches, so Darrin was able to bring an extra speaker so that everyone was able to hear well. Darrin even created song mixes for our special dances of the night which allowed us to personalize our special dances in a way that was meaningful and sweet to us. He truly went above and beyond every step of the way. Our friends and family were out on the dance floor the whole evening, and we got many compliments on how fun the music was. Additionally, Darrin set up uplighting throughout the perimeter of the room which made the atmosphere even more fun and lively. He even sent us some pictures and videos from the reception that were so fun to flip through and reminisce. We cannot recommend Darrin enough!! Book him for your wedding!

EST 2015 Owner Brad has aspired to build this business on the love and knowledge of his Uncle’s 30 year wedding business, and add the modern mixing & lighting today’s couples deserve. We don’t view other companies as competition, but rather collaborators to grow with. Every client deserves the right fit for their DJ.

If you are looking for a DJ that is easy to work with, super friendly, and listens to exactly what you want then you need to use Brad! We gave him a list of songs we 100% wanted played (they were all over the place in genre, beat and tempo) and he made them all fit in perfectly! 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.

My husband and I got married in Brooklyn, New York in Fall 2023. We quickly identified The Hook Club as our top choice because of their affordable prices and extremely customizable packages. Despite not having the largest budget, Dan and Adam worked to create exactly what we needed. We had two different sets of instruments throughout the evening. For our ceremony, we had a violin, cello, and piano. The band then switched to a saxophone, bass, and piano for our cocktail hour and reception. We honestly couldn't be happier with our choice. There were so many different songs to choose from, and the band are even willing to learn a song or two if you have a favorite that's not on the list! Communication was always so friendly and professional. We cannot recommend them enough!

I highly recommend DJ Justin Raymund. Justin was our DJ during the height of the pandemic in November 2020. We had a small wedding (less than 50 guests). I am Filipino and my husband is Malaysian-Chinese. Justin was great during the whole experience. He listened and took note of our musical tastes and favorite songs and helped us with our logistics and timeline (he had so much knowledge from his experience). Pre-wedding: He contacted us a month in advance, but was open to answering any of our questions even before then. Justin was flexible and accommodated as best he could to all of our requests, such as setting up in two spaces since our cocktail hour was outdoors, acting as our MC, keeping the mood upbeat, and playing special music for our Tea ceremony. Although we were not allowed to dance in a group, I saw many of my family and friends dance by their table or on the way to the bar. Thanks Justin! Our wedding planner (who has been in the industry for 20+ years) said DJ Justin was very professional and overall a joy to work with. Again I think you should hire Justin for you big day. I know he will make it fun and very special for you and your significant other.

Holler at Herbert today!

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Herbert Holler was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Our vision was a longer reception to leave plenty of room for dancing, being together, having fun and really wanted it to be a great time for everyone there, for all ages. HH had everyone dancing at the same time- kids, teenagers, or friends, our parents' friends, and my 89 year old grandmother. He was spot on in reading the room- which wasn't the most straight forward - I asked him to sprinkle some Arabic music in so my Lebanese family could come together over familiar music- all I did was provide him a couple of titles and he ran with the rest. Didn't overdo it, and everybody joined in. It was a dream. HH was professional the whole way through and didn't require tons of collab, and was flexible and quickly responsive. My advice: Hire HH.

It's been said they're "not a real wedding band," but rather "an incredibly fun and engaging band that just happens to absolutely rock weddings!" Whether it's today's hits, top 40, hip hop, classic rock, Motown, and all things in between, The Barnstorm can do it all - putting their own spin on everything they do.

Awarded Best of Zola
Highly, highly recommend the Barnstorm for a wedding or any event. We hired them for our wedding the last weekend of September 2019 in Montauk, and they absolutely put the night over the top! First and foremost, they are a great band; not your typical “wedding band”. They aren’t cookie cutter (i.e. you won’t hear them playing the same songs that you hear at every wedding) and they certainly aren’t stiff. They vibe off each other and the room. They are legitimately having a fun time performing with each other and that permeates throughout the room. Everyone will be up dancing, singing, drinking, and sweating their butts off, and having a blast! What to expect: -Professionalism. Brooks responds promptly and covers all bases. No detail will be overlooked during the planning stages. Day of, they get to the venue well ahead of time to sound check and make sure everything is sounding perfect. During the event, they are great at providing direction and making sure everything runs smoothly. -Personalization and flexibility. The guys truly care about making the event as special as possible and are very open to any idea to bring the event over the top. In addition to our “special request” songs (which they nailed) the band was incredibly gracious at my request to join them onstage to “surprise” my wife and guests by playing a song along with them. It could not have gone over any better…my wife was thrilled and it absolutely brought the house down! -Party! They know what will get everyone up and moving. Their catalogue of songs is well over 200 and it includes all decades and genres. Multiple guests commented that they didn’t want to leave the dance floor to get dessert or go to the bathroom because every song was such an amazing jam. The Barnstorm is absolutely worth every penny. We knew they were the right band for our wedding the first moment we heard them at Hill Country, and we feel so lucky and grateful to the guys for playing our wedding. On top of it all, my wife, friends, and I get to continue to relive that night by seeing their gigs throughout NYC! We simply cannot say enough great things about The Barnstorm.

He lead us through what to expect and gave us insight as this was our first wedding we hosted. They were able to handle sound for the wedding ceremony and it was set up without having to remind or ask, which was appreciated. Rich helped us find a string duo to play during the wedding ceremony too. Rich guided us through the beginning of the reception and helped facilitate the order of speeches and again provided sound for that. The band is great, fun and people danced all night.

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 hired Talent City Artists for our wedding and they were amazing! We hired a wedding singer for our ceremony and cocktail hour and part of dinner and a DJ for the rest of the night. We were not disappointed in the wedding singers and DJ. All night the dance floor was hopping and I think everyone commented on how much they loved the wedding singer during dinner! Thank you Blake, Corey and Dina for making our wedding such a memorable event!

Cuarteto Guataca

5.0

New York, NY
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Park Forest, IL for additional fees

Bassist and bandleader Josh Levine got his start in the professional music business busking in SoHo with The Flying Neutrinos in ’93, so when NYC shut down in Spring of 2020, he capitalized on his experience as a street performer and began to play regularly in the parks of NYC with percussionist and sonero, Jainardo Batista, renowned flutist Itai Kriss making his debut on Cuban trés guitar, and María Raquel on vocals and minor percussion. Before long, the quartet had generated some buzz, several venues hired them to play outdoors and pianist Gabriel Chakarji and Grammy winning flutist and vocalist Jeremy Bosch became staples of the group.

I have used Cuarteto Guataca both personally (birthdays, family events) and professionally as a wedding/ event florist and event planner for YEARS. Every time they manage to get everyone on their feet. They are super professional always and extremely easy to work with. Hands down, Josh and his band will always be my first choice for latin entertainment (any entertainment for that matter)!!

We can't say enough about how amazing Carte Blanche was at our event. Not only are they incredible musicians, but Kate the bandleader made everything so smooth from the planning process. She was very thorough and made sure everything went off without a hitch. They learned a few special songs for our ceremony and reception and put their own special touch on them to make it really special for us. They looked so glamorous and our friends and family are still telling us how unique they were, and couldn't believe how many languages the singer can sing in! This band is truly special and will elevate your wedding. Thank you Carte Blanche for an unforgettable night!

Motor City HDJ

5.0

Brighton, MI
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Park Forest, 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!

I was recommended DJ SoundWaves by someone in a mom group that I am in. I received many recommendations but Brian and his team were my first choice pick. 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!
