The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire.

Bill and John did a wonderful job for mine and my Husbands special day. From the very first phone call, Bill was very informative and reassuring that they would get the job done to fit our vision. They even came to the rehearsal (small extra cost) to make sure all music cues were exactly how I wanted them which was great as many DJs had told me “no.” It really helped ease my nerves knowing things were well executed and ran through the day before. Throughout the planning process, Bill was very responsive to any questions I had via email or extra phone calls. I did have a change I added in last minute so our dog could be apart of reception announcements and they didn’t even flinch at the last minute change of plans. They nailed it. They played great songs, surprised us with a gift after our first dance, and even kept bringing my girls and I fans cause they had us dancing all night. We cannot thank both Bill and John enough for helping us execute our big day! -The O’Havers

We recently had our wedding on May 3, 2024, and Jeff from BTSound was our DJ. Jeff was absolutely awesome to work with and really listened to everything we had to say. We had an interview with him beforehand, and it made me instantly want to work with him. As an avid music fanatic and house head, we didn't want just a "wedding DJ"; We wanted a real DJ, and Jeff truly is one. He has the background to back it up.

We were so impressed with Elite Party Pro and their DJ, Cesar, for our wedding day. From the very first interaction, Cesar was incredibly cooperative, understanding, flexible, and responsive to all of our requests. He has a truly professional and customer-focused approach, and we could tell he was dedicated to making our special day perfect. Cesar listened intently to my music preferences and worked hard to keep everyone on the dance floor, even with the unique challenges of our interracial wedding. We received so many compliments on the music and energy he brought. Cesar's ability to problem-solve and resolve the issue without any chaos was also a huge relief.

We were absolutely thrilled with Funk Almighty at our wedding, especially with their incredible rendition of a Taylor Swift song!!! When we mentioned our love for Taylor Swift, the band went above and beyond and created an entire medley of her hits. This wasn’t just another wedding band playing covers, it became a whole show that added their unique funk twist. I can’t begin express how cool it was to watch our request come to life like that!! Daryl and the team's ability to transform our simple request into such an elaborate and memorable piece was incredible. Easily the highlight of the evening. And it was such a personalized touch that made our special day even more unforgettable. Aside from that working with them was a breeze. The rest of the night was great too but I really can’t overstate how much we appreciate them for going above and beyond with our request. That’s true talent and creativity so we can't recommend them enough for their exceptional service and making our wedding one of a kind! *Original review posted on theknot.com https://www.theknot.com/marketplace/funk-almighty-chicago-il-2062080

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!!!

David and the 11-piece band gave us the dance floor of our dreams. They brought amazing energy that was felt by all our guests. Our guests have been talking about the band for a full month after our wedding, many asking for their contact info to book for their own events. David made the planning process very easy and helped our vision come to life

Absolutely the best! Bob was incredible to work with, his planning and attention to detail kept our day stress free and flowing from ceremony to cocktail hour to our reception! The dance floor was packed and our guests had the best time. All I keep hearing from my guests was how great our DJ was! He came highly recommended and we would say the same. We cannot thank Bob enough for his time and energy! Also - get the uplighting! It made all the difference and changed the energy of the room! Thank you again Bob!!
