Jamies does his research! Jamie introduced us to his large library of both digital and vinyl albums to pick anything that jumped out. He also had us send a list of artists we loved early on so he could research all the background relations of tracks he was unfamiliar with in order to build out a constellation of melodies for the dj set. Jamie was a great listener and built a set that felt so personal and special to us and our guests. Live vinyl was such a treasure! Because we were so excited about his vinyl library, Jamie brought his beautiful vinyl table to mix in some oldies. Our guests were blown away when they would see album covers propped up from time to time of the song being played. Jamie was a spectacular host and a true "master of ceremonies" for our wedding day. Playing all the right songs is one thing, but Jamie’s charismatic personality to lead the sequences of events with poise and humor really made our day have such a magical flow.

Aaron and his incredible bandmates made our wedding so perfect and special. The way they blended the music so effortlessly, incorporated all our chosen music and their own remixes, was just phenomenal. We truly felt euphoric on our wedding dance floor, and it is entirely due to Golden Bell. It was the best night of our lives and we have them to thank for it!

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

DJ P was a great choice to make our wedding reception unforgettable. From the moment we started working with him, we realized it was a partnership as we crafted the music for the night. He was willing and more than able to roll with things as plans changed. The one issue we had is that, partially due to the time constraints of our venue, some of our requested music was cut short or not played at all while other songs continued on for very long. Overall, DJ P did a phenomenal job!

DJ Keith was our first and only choice for our DJ and he still exceeded our expectations. He was the DJ for my sister's wedding and when I had to book a DJ I knew exactly who we wanted. Keith's mixing skills are unmatched and he knows how to get people up onto the dance floor and keep the party going! We had friends stay on the dance floor nearly the entire night and saw guests dancing that we never thought we would see cutting a rug! Keith also handled the sound system for our ceremony and the toasts, which all occurred without any issues. He even went above and beyond helping us put our photo slideshow together when we couldn't figure it out on our end and displayed it for us throughout our reception. He was professional, knowledgeable, and so easy going yet enthusiastic for the music and vibe that we wanted for our wedding. If you're looking for a DJ, you can stop looking and book Keith now!
