I found Mike via thumbtack & although on there it stated he was booked on my wedding date I thought I’d still reach out to him. I’m so happy I did because he put me in touch with our dj, thankyouteddy and he did an awesome job djing for our wedding! Mike was very informative and gave me plenty of information. He also has you do a questionnaire to help narrow down the right dj for you based off your music preferences. Mike will reached out periodically to follow up & also puts you in touch with the dj the week of the wedding to go over details. Teddy arrived on time and kept everyone on our toes throughout the night. The only thing I will say, is if you’re doing bridal party introductions it’s best to rehearse it if possible. Or give an exact time of the song for your dj to play when each couple comes out.

I don’t know where to start with Dillon and Electric Sugar…. They were incredible. Plain and simple. I worked with Dillon leading up to wedding weekend and he was kind, prompt, professional, and fun. We worked together to create a set list that was perfect for our taste in music. Dillon also played guitar at our ceremony and it was beautiful. He did a combo of guitar and prerecorded music per our request and it was perfect. He brought all the equipment needed for our officiant to have a microphone as well. The Electric Sugar band as a whole played for our reception. We had them for 3 hours and the dance floor was packed for 3 hours. They were so much fun and SO talented!!! It was the best party and they were a huge reason behind it! I would recommend them to anyone for their wedding or any other occasion they are looking to add spice and energy too. If we ever host another event where music is needed I would book them in a heartbeat

Sam was awesome & SO PROFESSIONAL. My husband and I had been looking for a DJ since we first got engaged and were not too pleased with other encounters we had. When we reached out to Sam we were able to see him/speak to him via Zoom to hash out the details of our wedding and what we were looking for. He allowed us to prepay for our event, and he continuously checked in with us & responded to any questions we had in between. When my stepson was having a bit of a moment(due to not doing well in large crowds), Sam allowed us to sit him near the DJ booth (as he loves the equipment) - supervised by his grandfather- until he was ready to join the party. Our families enjoyed the music, and were even allowed to request a few specific songs for special traditions. He was on time, communicative, professional, & flexible- he made our night special & if we had a chance to redo it- we’d sign on with him again!!! Thank you soooo much Sam!!!!!!

Pete with Pete's My DJ was an amazing DJ for our wedding! His communication throughout the planning process was great - he was very responsive, professional, and made sure he understood all the little details that were important to me. The quality of his work was fantastic. He perfectly executed my walk down the aisle song and timing, and knew how to keep the dance floor packed all night by playing the right mix of songs to appeal to all our guests. I gave Pete some special song requests that were meaningful to me and he seamlessly incorporated them while also reading the vibe of the crowd.

White Rose Weddings 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $850
  • Serves Gardner, IL

So, about us…White Rose Weddings started in 2008 as a small disc jockey company using my initials G.A.C. for the business name. My older sister would poke fun at the fact that my initials spelled “gac” and our colors are green. She even made a comparison to a kid’s TV show “slime”. But she was right, “My Wedding DJ is from GAC”, didn’t really roll off the tongue. We would always talk about what the new name should be to highlight the level of service we were always looking to provide. The agreement was made on, White Rose Weddings.

My husband and I were recommended White Rose Weddings by a family friend. From the beginning they were easy to communicate with and we were quickly paired with Jason as our potential DJ. Jason made us feel very comfortable with his expertise and experience, he also had amazing reviews online, so we booked him for our big day. I am so thrilled and happy we did because Jason was so easy to work with up till the wedding day and on the wedding day he delivered exactly what he promised and more! The music he played was spot on for our guest list and age demographics. The dance floor was packed from start to finish and I couldn't drag myself away from it for too long! We have received so many compliments about our DJ and music, on the actual day and for days after! We truly appreciated how special he helped make our day! We cannot recommend enough!

DJ NickyVon is musically diverse and skilled in many aspects of DJing. Having graduated from Scratch DJ Academy, Chicago, he's extremely dedicated and immersed in the DJ community. Having grown up in the 90's he couldn't help but fall in love with hip-hop, but that also played an important part as he learned to explore other genres like, rock, house music, and funk. His diverse music knowledge allows him to blend in any type of environment. Brands such as Match.com and State Farm have trusted him to create a fun and exciting atmosphere for some of their events.

Kelvon was always professional, and very easy to get ahold of and talk to. His online portal was super easy to use and he stuck to the must play and dont play songs. I also wanted to teach a few easy line dances at the wedding instead of doing the typical electric slide. I was able to use his mic and teach the guests a few easy steps. All the music flowed super seamlessly into the next song.

The photographer, videographer, and photo booth was absolutely perfect and our guests had a blast! However, even after going through the work of submitting a Spotify play list and adding do not play songs or DJ played the wrong version of our first dance song (I checked and we had the correct version listed on our playlist we sent over), he also played songs from our do not play list to the point I, the bride, came over to ask if he had the wrong list. He admitted he was using songs from the do not play list as he was not paying attention. I would also like to note, though our wedding was more casual, our DJ was dressed in a sloppy manner. His shirt was half untucked from his pants, there were stains on his shirt and pants. Besides a few hiccups, direct Entertainment was wonderful to work with!

At Toast & Jam, we believe that a thoughtful mix of pop favorites, hip-hop bootyshakers, Motown classics, and timeless standards are fun and self-respecting alternative to those embarrassing and played-out dancefloor clichés.

Chris rocked our worlds!!! DJs can make or break a wedding, so going into planning we were pretty nervous about this decision. Our Coordinator recommended Toast & Jam and boy are we glad she did. From our first meeting with Chris we knew we were in good hands. He was able to effortlessly blend our wildly eclectic music tastes and hyper-specific cultural songs without batting an eye. He also smoothly MC'd the whole night. At least 50 of our guests have told us that he was the best wedding DJ they've ever had, so we know we are not biased!! His ability to read a crowd is unreal. The photobooth was also a huge hit. If you're considering it, DO IT, it was a perfect keepsake for guests. We cannot recommend highly enough Chris and Toast & Jam, our wedding was a certified banger.

Funktastic Productions Llc. was an absolute hit at our wedding! From the very first interaction, their communication was quick, friendly, and super detailed - they clearly cared about making our day perfect. And that's exactly what they delivered. I chose to have live piano and violin at my ceremony and they sounded beautiful together. They played every song I requested with depth and precision- even the fairly new music (I requested Birds of a Feather for the recessional, and they NAILED it!) They provided mics to the musicians and the officiant stand, which ended up being a lifesaver for us. The DJ and violinist were both fun and talented, keeping the dance floor packed all night long. DJ Servaun in particular did an amazing job matching the vibes, emceeing, and balancing in the moment song requests with a killer playlist. Get the DJ with Musician accompaniment package!! The electric violin player lit up the dance floor & guests LOVED it! Quote: “Best wedding I’ve ever been to! I’ve never been to a wedding where ‘Not Like Us’ got a violin accompaniment”. I also used Funktastic for our photobooth service and it was one of the most popular parts of the wedding. People lined up at one point to take pics- and I was thrilled with the quality of the designs and service. Funktastic Productions provided incredible value and high quality entertainment that made our wedding celebration truly unforgettable. We can't recommend them enough!
