Having Funk Almighty at our wedding last year was both the cake and icing on top! It’s not just the usual band experience because on top of the great music some of the band stepped onto the dance floor with us, and that just blew our guests away! They danced and sang with us and our guests, bringing an amazing energy that was both intimate and exhilarating for us!! They even did a dance routine that all our guests caught on too and before we knew it everyone was doing the same dance. We looked at quite a few bands and we cannot recommend them enough because they made our wedding feel more like a shared experience with friends than a formal event. It was a highlight for many of our guests and truly showcased Funk Almighty's commitment to not just performing music but creating lasting memories, which was something Daryl promised us right off the bat. We're incredibly thankful for this special aspect of their performance and cannot recommend them enough if you’re looking for an unforgettable night! *Original review posted on theknot.com https://www.theknot.com/marketplace/funk-almighty-chicago-il-2062080

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I knew from the very beginning of wedding planning that we wanted strings to play during our ceremony and cocktail hour - but there are so many options out there it was hard to decide who to book. We met with a few people in Chicago who could do the job and seemed decent. The moment we met with Anna, we knew she was the best person for the job. Anna is extremely friendly and professional. She helped us walk through the process of deciding what package would work best for our vision. It wasn't about steering us to the most expensive package, it was truly about getting to know what we wanted to get out of the day and picking the best option to make that happen. Anna is great with communication and worked well with our wedding coordinator. She and her team are SO talented. The music they played during our ceremony and cocktail hour really added to the vibe of the day and made it so special. If we could do it over again, we could choose Anna again and again. Thank you!

Chicago, IL
  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,000

Leveraging various planning forms, we strive to orchestrate a seamless and memorable experience for your special day.

DJ Daniel from Luniks Entertainment was the DJ and MC for our Serbian/American wedding in March 2024. He was one of our best wedding investments. He is organized, thoughtful, responsive, fun, and creative. He kept our dance floor active the entire night! We didn't give him much direction during the planning process because we trusted him to do a great job, and he did! He was able to incorporate Serbian folk music, Croatian pop and rock, Reggaetón, hip hop, country, and pop into our evening, which kept all of our guests happy. We are so grateful for his work and we can tell he takes great pride in his business. We recommend Luniks Entertainment to anyone looking to throw a great and memorable party. Our guests said this was the best wedding they had been to, and it's in large part thanks to DJ Daniel!

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)

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.

Easy to work with and covered both our DJ needs and musicians for the ceremony. We met with Al initially and discussed our vision after filling out several things about our wedding. That week, our actual Dj, Alan, called us to introduce himself. He stuck with our playlist, but also did a pretty good job of reading the room.
