As I wedding photographer I have had the pleasure of working with Premier Entertainment, run by the dynamic duo Darrin and Cheryl Lee, and I can’t recommend them highly enough! Having known Darrin for over 10 years and collaborating with him on several occasions, I’ve always been impressed by his professionalism and passion for creating unforgettable events. Darrin’s expertise on the dance floor is unmatched. He utilizes a wide range of top-notch DJ equipment that really elevates the atmosphere. Whether it’s pumping up the energy during a wedding reception or creating the perfect vibe for a corporate event, he knows how to read the crowd and keep everyone engaged. Cheryl complements Darrin perfectly by ensuring that everything runs smoothly behind the scenes. She’s like the conductor of a finely tuned orchestra, managing the event with precision while also interacting with guests to keep the fun going. One standout feature of Premier Entertainment is their innovative photobooth options. They add a fun, interactive element that guests absolutely love, capturing memories in a unique way. What truly sets them apart, though, is their exceptional pre-event timeline creation. It’s far superior to anything I’ve seen, providing a clear roadmap for the event and ensuring that everything unfolds seamlessly. If you’re looking for a DJ service that delivers not just great music but a complete entertainment experience, Premier Entertainment is the way to go!

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!

All of our musicians are very close friends; and that bond energizes and elevates our performance. Husband & wife team, Jeremy & Emily, have been making music together since meeting at the NIU School of Music in the early 2000s. Their love for their craft continues to grow with every performance opportunity together.

Jeremy and the New Vintage Strings quartet were incredible. Jeremy facilitated the communication for the quartet, was prompt, thorough, and extremely helpful from start to finish with all aspects. The New Vintage Strings quartet played the ceremony and cocktail hour for our wedding on Saturday, June 15th, 2024, and were a massive hit for all who attended. Their resources were user-friendly, and their repertoire was expansive. The New Vintage Strings quartet were also willing to find the sheet music for a song that was not on their list of songs. It was an absolute pleasure to work with New Vintage Strings and relatively cost-friendly given how expensive live music can be, particularly for weddings. I highly recommend having New Vintage Strings play your wedding or event where music may be appropriate. A massive thank you to Jeremy and the rest of the New Vintage Strings quartet for their lovely performance and making our wedding even more spectacular!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Highland Preferred for my wedding, and I can honestly say they transformed our special day into an unforgettable experience! From the moment I reached out, their professionalism and attention to detail put my mind at ease. It's clear that they know how to create incredible memories, whether it’s for personal celebrations or corporate events. We opted for a DJ and live band combo, and from the moment our guests heard the first notes, the dance floor was packed! The DJ effortlessly mixed genres, catering to all ages, while the band brought that lively energy that really got everyone involved. Our LED dance floor was a showstopper, literally sparkling under the lights as our friends danced the night away. The various photo booths offered by Highland Preferred were an absolute hit! Each booth had its own unique props and backgrounds, allowing our guests to capture fun memories throughout the evening. And I can’t say enough about the photography and videography services—the team was unobtrusive while perfectly capturing every moment. Just a few days after the event, we were delighted to receive a sneak peek at some of the photos—they were simply stunning! Moreover, their up lighting and decor services added an elegant touch to our venue. They truly transformed the space into a fairy tale setting that we had only dreamed about. Everything was reasonably priced, especially given the level of service provided. I genuinely felt like we got so much value for our investment. If you’re planning a wedding, corporate gathering, or any type of event, I can’t recommend Highland Preferred enough. They take the stress out of party planning and deliver results that exceed expectations. Thank you for making our celebration the talk of the town!

I love what I do. I have been singing since age 8 and DJing since 15. I found a way to combine the best parts of music for an amazing wedding experience! People are wowed at the elegance of live music during cocktails as a first impression. Then they are treated to their favorite songs on the dance floor with me as the dj! It’s a perfect balance!

We absolutely loved DJ Karl! He was such a sweetheart and so flipping talented! I had multiple guests asking me for his business card after the wedding. He did such an amazing job listening to what type of music we wanted and making sure he played exactly what he we hoped for. You could tell he cared deeply for his job and was all about providing amazing service. His voice is phenomenal - I would highly recommend him for DJ and band services.

Marco was a great DJ and kept the dance floor on fire the whole night while also being a great M.C. We had a multi-cultural wedding, and Marco did an incredible job mixing in Armenian, Indian and western music throughout the night. Guests were raving about how fun and exciting the music and dancing was – our dancefloor was never empty.

I got into DJing by accident. After learning that working as an Industrial Engineer in a fortune 500 company didn't bring me much fulfillment, a friend suggested I join his DJ company. His company supplied DJ services for over 200 weddings a year! After my first wedding gig I was hooked. It gave me purpose, and an outlet I never knew was possible. I quickly became the most requested DJ in the company and within my market. Now I DJ on my own, and I'm so blessed to be able to curate an atmosphere of joy where families can connect.

Awarded Best of Zola
What else can we say about DJ Obie? In our wedding planning we requested to have him as our DJ. I had mutual friends from college that knew him and had attended teacher trainings with his significant other. We were told we *might have him as our DJ but our purchase level wouldn’t guarantee it. We were so fortunate to realize we did in fact have him as our DJ. Even throughout the cocktail hour he was lively and entertaining guests. As the reception began, the power/sound went out multiple times, and he powered through. I truly have never seen a wedding DJ more positively encourage and engage guests. The dance floor was never empty, and DJ Obie joined us on the floor as the night went on. To this day I think his involvement in our wedding made it that much better.

All I can say is WOW! All of our guests agreed that Funktastic was one of their favorite parts of our wedding. From the very start, Mike wanted to make our special day extra special. The dance floor on the night of the wedding was PACKED! The rap song mashup that funktastic was nothing I’ve ever heard of at a wedding and our guests LOVED it. If you want a band that is not just going to play ordinary wedding band music, then I highly recommend going with Funktastc- they are worth every penny and more.
