The best DJ service in town! Nicky and his team went above and beyond to make our special day even better than we could've ever envisioned it. They offer anything and everything you could possibly think of for your big day and work with you to customize every detail to fit your exact needs. Nicky is so easy to work with, he is super friendly, professional and it felt like l've known him for years. We had very specific needs for our string quartet, had multiple areas for sound and mics at our venue, we also wanted a specific song list for the DJ... and every single request was done to PERFECTION, thank you! We danced on the clouds, which was MAGICAL, definitely add this when booking Nicky and his team, a must! Also, I have to give a huge shoutout to DJ JBlendz (oe), he has to be the BEST DJ I've ever heard at a wedding! He was enthusiastic, played all of our requests, had the smoothest transitions, read the room better than anyone, and even added his own touch to make the night an absolute blast. Amazing guy too! Thank you to Nicky and his team for making our wedding day the greatest day of our life, we couldn't be happier!!

We booked BWK originally for our November 2022 wedding. They had come highly recommended by two cousins who also hired them (and we LOVED them at those weddings so knew that they could deliver a good time!). When an unfortunate family emergency happened and we had to change our wedding date, Taylor was absolutely so kind and easy to work with, and made the very difficult task of moving a wedding from Fall to the following summer, a lot easier to manage. The band was sooo spectatular too. We did an 11-piece band and every single member completely brought their A-game the whole night. We received so many compliments on how much fun our dance floor was. Thanks BWK for making our night one to never forget :)

We had a very small and intimate wedding ceremony and Anna made it so incredibly special. From start to finish, Anna was a a true professional. She responded right away to an inquiry and provided an amazing planning document for us to work off of. She showed up early to our ceremony and performed everything just how we expected. Anna made our small ceremony feel so intimate and special. Everyone is talking about how magical the violin was. I would highly recommend Anna for any event, big or small. Anna's outstanding talent and professionalism are truly unbeatable.

Everything went smoothly the day of the party and Daniel was on top of everything we needed, including being the MC. He kept people on the dance floor and everyone had a great time!

Our wedding guests are STILL talking about Todd and what an amazing job he did for us and our wedding a whole month later. My husband and I knew next to nothing about wedding music or what a DJ even does. We had no idea how much work a DJ actually does to ensure the whole day runs smoothly and all the announcements are made and all that stuff that people sometimes forget about. We picked only a handful of songs for the ceremony and reception and he did all the rest which made it really easy for us. Todd is not just a fantastic DJ, he is the nicest person. He ended up staying a whole hour later than what we booked him for because our catering service was late and it pushed everything back. He not only calmed the chaos of these unfortunate circumstances but he ensured everyone was still having a good time and (this needs to be repeated) HE STAYED LATE! Besides getting married, hiring Todd was the best decision my husband and I have ever made!

I first heard Fretless Music perform a few years ago and have had the pleasure of seeing them perform numerous times since! They are all so talented and I can instantly tell when they are the musicians playing because I LOVE the energy their performances bring into any room they are in. Not only that, but there are no pretentious vibes here. Only friendliness, professionalism and a passion for what they do, which all goes such a long way!!!

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.

Groove is in the Heart, and especially DJ Evan, made our wedding experience even more perfect than we ever could have imagined. Throughout the entire process DJ Evan was there to help us plan what we wanted and ensured that everything was prepared for our big day. He was so easy to contact and communicate with. We were worried that it would be complicated to plan our Chicago suburb wedding from Baltimore but it was a breeze with Groove is in the Heart. The day of our wedding was a dream because of DJ Evan. He completely understood the vibe and the mood of what we were wanting. Everyone complimented how great the music was and how he was able to get EVERYONE on the dance floor - even our grandmas!! I can not, and will not, ever stop talking about how happy I am that we found Groove is in the Heart DJS. Thank you thank you thank you for being part of the reason why our special day was so perfect.
