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!

This man is an absolute legend! We had so much fun at our wedding and got ENDLESS compliments from our guests on how great our DJ was. A DJ can make or break your wedding and not something you should skimp out on. We attended 9 weddings before ours, and a common theme we noticed is how big of a difference it makes when you hire a DJ who interacts with the crowd and is not afraid to step out of the box of original wedding music, and entertain the crowd. DJ Milk is that guy!!! From the moment we found and interacted through calls with him we knew he would deliver and provide a unique experience for our wedding day. DJ Milk had a detailed process to understand the type of music we wanted to hear, ensuring the dancefloor was packed the whole night. He executed on all levels! He started the night by warming up the dancefloor with some classics while mixing in the headbanging EDM and making the boomers and other guests go wild on the dance floor. He also let us spray the CO2 machine, and I think we ran it completely out. He did a fantastic job as the evening “Emcee” running the speeches, dances, coordinating our anniversary dance, and more! It felt like we were at the best dance party of our lives, and we were sad to see the night come to an end. I even saw my mother-in-law head banging, which is a sight I never thought I would see! The compliments on the music, night, and vibe from the wedding never ended weeks after our wedding. We even had the director of operations at the wedding venue come up from his office and enjoy the music. He said, “This is the best wedding music we’ve had at this venue”. For your wedding or any event, look no further. DJ MILK MAJER IS THE GUY!!!

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.

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)

WE are Chicago area's grooviest inclusive, female-owned DJ boutique! Our hand picked DJs curate a playlist that will reflect your unique style and get all your guests on the dance floor! We believe that love is love

All I can say is the clue is in the name. If you know, you know. Evan & Anna were an utter joy to work with. Evan DJ’d our wedding on July 7 and he just knocked it out of the park. We dumped at 12 hour playlist on him, told him the vibes we wanted at each phase (e.g. cocktail, dinner, after party) and he did the rest. Absolutely nailed it.

Inspiring Experiences With A Lifetime Of Memories! The Perfect Compliment To Your Wedding Reception! We offer a Complete Entertainment Package from a Seven Piece Band to a Twelve Piece Orchestra. We also provide Ceremony Musicians, Emcee Services, and a variety of Performance Packages for any size Wedding Reception. Our extensive experience will assist you with the outline planning for your Memorable Event. The Park Avenue Orchestra, featuring dynamic performances through high energy and enthusiasm. We invite you to visit our new website for all the exciting details of our services, at www.parkavenueorchestra.com

I truly don’t know where to begin to thank Park Avenue Orchestra for the most perfect wedding day we could have ever asked for. From the moment we booked them to the very last (encore) song on the dance floor, Hank and the Park Avenue Orchestra made everything easy, seamless, and most of all SO. MUCH. FUN! I have seen Park Ave perform at 2 other weddings, but nothing compares to booking them for your own wedding. There were many “best” things about working with Park Avenue, but something that was so unbelievably special to us was the custom songs they learned for us for our first dances. Our song as a couple is Shut Up and Dance by Walk the Moon and they created a slowed down version of it for us to dance our first dance to. It still brings me to tears when I watch our wedding video, it was just so beautiful and perfect. They also learned a Josh Groban song for my husband and his mom that was so special. For my dad and I, they not only learned a new song, but they created a transition from a nice slow Frank Sinatra song and went straight into Jump in the Line so we could start a conga line. It was AMAZING and such an awesome way to open the dance floor! However, the best part of the whole night was Park Avenue’s rendition of Shout. WOW. I don’t have enough words to describe the fun, energy, and EPIC DANCE PARTY that happens when Ricky Rainbow sings shout. Looking back at our wedding video, I think EVERYONE was on the dance floor! I actually got so “low” that I laid down on the dance floor in my wedding dress lol It was EPIC and a moment we will never forget!!! I think we’ve watched it about 25 times since we got our video haha Aside from Shout, the band brought my dad up to play drums, they brought my sister and I up to play cowbell…they really know how to get the crowd involved and make it a night full of the best memories. Hank made the wedding planning process so easy, simple and seamless. He thoroughly explained everything to us and made the planning process stress free. By far, he was our absolute best wedding vendor to work with and was our biggest advocate the day of the wedding- even bringing my mom a drink (or 2) when the venue didn’t quite do things right. He ensured our big day went perfectly and if there were any issues on the band/music/lighting/audio front, we never had to deal with it or even heard anything about it. He is a true professional! Thank you Park Avenue for creating the soundtrack to the best night of our lives, it wouldn’t have been the same without you!

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!!

The Hook Club was easily the easiest vendor I dealt with the entire time I was wedding planning! They were perfect, and even took time to learn a couple of songs I requested that weren't on their existing list. I would hire them a thousand times again!

I have been a professional musician for my entire life. My mom was a music teacher & started me on piano at age 5. At 14, I discovered singing & the guitar. They have been a big part of my life since. I am an alum of Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA & toured the country extensively. Wedding receptions have always been my favorite because of the wonderful joyous feeling in the air. I enjoy putting on a great show & exceeding the client's expectations. I own a music school and understand that the customer is king. I've done over 300 weddings & always do my best to ensure that your special day is spectacular.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hi I just copied and pasted this from the review I sent over. This band was incredible!! I’m so happy we decided to go with them—they rocked all night! The number one thing guests were commenting on, I can’t tell you how many times I was asked, “Where did you FIND them?!” The songs they played were perfect; you can really tell they pay attention to the vibe of the crowd! They offer services for all sound needs throughout the day (mics for officiant, ceremony sound, cocktail hour, etc). Rich is an all-around good person: professional, kind, easy-going. Typically responds within a day, which I was so thankful for! And they’re completely affordable, it won’t cost you an arm and a leg to have great live music!! We knew we wanted a band but I hadn't had luck finding anyone close to us that was affordable, responsive, and had wedding experience, so we almost gave up and had a dj instead, but I'm so happy we found Avalon! I cannot say enough times they exceeded all expectations and made the reception so unforgettable! Thank you for all the energy and talent you brought to our special day!

Allendale, MI
  • DJ
  • Serves Aurora, IL for additional fees

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.

Rhythm and Lights is the best team ever! They did my sisters wedding in 2019, my cousins wedding in 2020, and my wedding in 2021. Each and every time they did not disappoint! They know how to entertain a crowd, and even with my crazy requests they were spot on with everything. We had the pleasure of working with Mitch at our wedding and he was fantastic! What an amazing team. I highly recommend :)
