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.

Richard was helpful and respectful throughout our entire wedding planning process. He worked flawlessly with me, my partner, and our wedding planner to pull off an incredibly fun reception. Richard did an initial call with my partner to discuss the general vibe we were looking for, and we knew immediately he would be a great fit for our wedding. Richard gave us a helpful questionnaire to fill out key songs and general musical interests (and do not play songs). Richard was also happy to jump on calls with us to talk through our questions and hopes for our big day. I especially appreciated that Richard was able to play some German songs for some guests who had flown in from Germany, as that got even some of our older relatives on the dance floor. People were partying all night thanks to Richard! Richard catered to our wide age range of guests, and even gave us a couple of bonus closing songs that were the perfect conclusion to the night. We could not have asked for a better DJ.

My husband found Ceasar's company online. He was happy to hop on a FaceTime call with us to talk about his DJ services. We love EDM and house music and he was very knowledgable about all the music we talked about! We asked if we can make playlists for everything and it was super easy to send stuff over to him, to play during the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. He was AWESOME at introductions and did a great job of trying to stick with our schedule and being flexible. We also got the photobooth service from him and the pictures turned out amazing!! He sent us a link with all the pictures from the night, which we enjoyed looking at. He even sent a few videos! We also got the glow sticks and the crowd loved them!

Funk Almighty was no doubt the best booking we made for our wedding. The band was electric and had a sound that can only be made from a group that plays together consistently. Their old funky classics and new hits were excellently played and made the dance floor the place to be! Some of our guests said their favorite part of the reception was the band, just watching them play and entertain was a great show. From initial inquiry, to final performance, they were responsive and professional. They performed live the songs for our first dance along with the father/bride and mother/groom dances as well. Overall they are a major talent and perform a terrific set, all while remaining in budget. Let this review be the one to get you to book this band, you will not be disappointed!

Anna looks forward to working with you on your vision!

Awarded Best of Zola
My now husband and I wanted to give our guests an experience they don't normally see at weddings nowadays, so choosing Anna to be our Violinist was by far one of the best decisions we could have made! Anna was an absolute dream to work with from day one! She never made me feel rushed when selecting/vetting our Ceremony/Cocktail Hour musician. Instead she was very knowledgeable about what the experience would potentially look like, she was up front regarding the music selection she knows (but of course was willing to learn something new with enough time to practice) and best of all she was extremely organized and I never felt like there were any unknowns for either party. On the day of our wedding, we were just so busy and unfortunately didn't get a chance to meet Anna in person, but Anna's skills were beyond what I imagined! From the Ceremony to the Cocktail Hour, Anna transitioned smoothly between the different styles and atmospheres we wanted for each of the events. Though we sadly didn't get to meet Anna in person, we were of course able to hear the amazing artform Anna has perfected and the Music that was chosen made the day that much more magical and everything we could have imagined and so much more! If you are a couple looking to give your guests a whimsical, artistic and unique experience but you are unsure if you should go for a Violinist, I can say with absolute certainty you will not be disappointed with Anna and the amazing day she will create for your big day!

My wife and I found ourselves planning our wedding smack dab in the middle of several other family weddings over the past year. Each event we went to was an opportunity for us to critique details of the ceremony, reception, and design choices that were made. We often saw things that we borrowed for our own wedding, and just as often, identified things that were definitely not our style or that we would do differently. One thing we consistently noted, was that the reception could be made or broken by the music choices, sound quality, and general atmosphere created by the DJ. Todd was our first choice. He was quick to reply, always professional, and very accommodating with our many specific requests. It turns out, we hired Todd without even knowing that both of my wife’s sisters had hired him for their weddings 10 years before! Todd was great. He really made our day special. We kept saying that the one thing we cared most about was our guests having a great time. And each of them did. We had friends and family coming up to us all night saying that it was one of the most fun weddings they have been to. We attribute a huge part of that to Todd and Dance Trax. The music was fun and just the right volume. The sound quality wasn’t all distorted or washed out. And Todd did a great job of directing guests, coordinating around events like first dance, cake cutting, etc. I cannot recommend him enough.

It's a pleasure to share my experience with PartyVibe Online. I had the opportunity to meet Bill, one of the DJs and owners, at a recent wedding, and he truly brought the energy! It was a Latino wedding, and as a Latino myself, I was thoroughly impressed with the entire setlist. I highly recommend PartyVibe Online for any wedding occasion. Whenever I hear that my couples have also hired PartyVibe, I know their celebration is going to be a blast!

Official Game DJ for The Chicago Blackhawks | Event DJ for The Chicago Cubs] DJ Lee Michaels is a professional wedding and private event DJ based out of Chicago, IL. For the past 23 years, this award-winning performer has played for hundreds of thousands nationwide. No matter the event, his formula is always the same… Mix Good Music! Old, new, and everything in between. He will not only take your requests, but will blend in his musical knowledge, to create the perfect mix for you & your guests. The dance floor is everything and he prides himself on packing it.

DJ Lee Michaels was an absolute hit at our wedding! His communication style was direct, simplified, and expert - exactly what we were looking for. The quality of his work and value was unbeatable, with true DJ talent, industry experience, and an innate ability to know exactly what the crowd (and us) wanted. Lee brought so much energy to the dance floor, knew exactly how to keep everything flowing exactly as we wanted, and made the process with him extremely simple. He also seamlessly coordinated with our saxophone player and some surprise performers we had throughout the night. So many of our guests told us it was the BEST wedding dance floor they've ever attended - Lee has an amazing way to mix songs and make the best party. The night flew by and we had so much fun. We were very serious in our planning that we did not want a "wedding DJ" but knew we needed someone with the appropriate experience, and Lee exceeded all of our expectations. Hire Lee!

DJ Demchuk (Daniel) did an absolutely amazing job during our wedding! The dance floor was bumping all night and we got SO many compliments on how good the music was, including from our older guests. Both the CA team and Daniel himself were super professional, kind, and communicative to work with throughout the planning process and during the night itself. We asked for some edits to our first dance song and Daniel made it happen flawlessly. He also sent us a full track list from the wedding within a few days so we can relive the party over and over. We could not have been happier with how everything turned out, and would recommend this DJ to anyone looking!

Considered a “Master of Genres”, he’ll make your big day a blast, regardless of your taste in music! A couple can expect a high-energy atmosphere for their wedding day! Not only will you feel the energy from DJ One Chance's fast-paced DJ style but his energy as an Emcee can be felt throughout your wedding day.

DJ One Chance absolutely exceeded our expectations at our wedding! If you are able to book him for your wedding date (or any event you need a DJ at for that matter), you are incredibly lucky. He immediately got everyone to the dance floor which was packed with people the entire reception. One of my favorite moments was our entrance to the reception. DJ One Chance hyped up the whole room so our entrance was very high energy and we were so, so happy. This man is gifted at what he does. We found him from a wedding we attended where he was the talk of the reception and that quickly translated to our wedding where yet again he was the talk of the reception for how incredible he was. DJ One Chance, THANK YOU from Steven and Sarah. You helped make our wedding day absolutely perfect and we congratulate any future couple that gets the honor of having you DJ for their wedding day.

We worked with Biossat Custom Productions to contract a harpist (for the ceremony) and a live band (Rythmique, for the reception) to play at our fall wedding with 120 guests, and we cannot highly recommend them enough. From start to finish, the Biossat team worked closely with us to understand and execute what music we envisioned for our wedding day, even helping to coordinate us doing a special performance with the band, which was such a special treat. We felt heard and respected throughout the entire process. We adored our harpist, and the live band Rythmique was PHENOMENAL!!!!!!!!!!! We had high expectations, but the instrumentalists and vocalists truly blew us away. My jaw was on the floor the entire evening. Their rendition of Superstition was *truly* life-changing. They kept the energy up and the dance floor rockin'. We received SO MANY compliments from guests about Rythmique and so many questions about where we found them. If you're looking to add a special touch to your wedding day that will keep the party going, look no further!

UpBeat Orchestra

  • Serves Arlington Heights, IL

Michael is an accomplished band leader and producer in a broad range of styles – as one student put it, ‘The Indiana Jones of the music world.’ He has been performing jazz and pop professionally 25 years with the likes of Branford Marsalis, Eric Clapton, Clark Terry, Brian Culbertson, an Kat Parsons Group to name a few. For the past decade, Michael's group, UpBeat, has performed in clubs, corporate galas, weddings, social events, and festivals throughout Chicago land – UpBeat has performed for numerous celebrities / exceptional events, including Jennifer Aniston, Mayor Richard M. Daley, Vince Vaughn, and recently opened for Lionel Richie.

Michael & UpBeat were EXACTLY what we needed for our wedding. Michael set up multiple phone calls with us before the wedding to go over details and understand what we wanted for our day. The band set up rehearsals just to practice our exact set list. We decided on Piano & Violin for the ceremony, with additional Piano for cocktail hour. The full band played a wonderful and creative 3 hour set during our reception. Upbeat set up all of our sound equipment and did a comprehensive sound check early that day. They even had a sound tech on their staff. Upbeat customized our wedding to our exact requests. They ensured to perfect our precessional, recessional, and prelude music. We requested contemporary love songs in which they rocked!! Our cocktail hour was perfect and the guests were complementing how talented the musicians were. Michael was our emcee for the nights events and ensured to follow my timeline to a T. He checked in multiple times with our wedding planner, as well as me and my husband. The 3-hour reception was full of energy, talent, and craftsmanship. Upbeat performed multiple medleys allowing songs to flow seamlessly into each other. The vocalists were top tier and were able to sing a wide variety of genres. The instrumentalists all played a critical role in the feel of the party! I 100% recommend adding the horn to your band! It made every song feel rich & full. Shout out to Reid Spears, piano & vocals, THE TALENT IS POURING OUT OF HIM. If you're thinking about a live band, DO IT. This band is worth every penny!!! We will forever be a fan of UpBeat! Maddy & Sean
