Milk Majer was SO great, he had everyone on the dance floor for hours! For my husband and I, the music was important to us. From the song choices for ceremony, to the walk out music for the bridal party, then to the reception, Mike made everything such a breeze. I gave him some must play songs, a few do not play songs, but the rest, he NAILED IT! Everyone kept telling us how incredible the music was, and its all thanks to Mike! Last and most important, not only is Mike the best at what he does, he is one of the nicest guys I have ever met. What a pleasure to work with! Thanks for everything Mike!

He worked with us beforehand to get a feel for us as a couple and what we wanted for our big day. He was very easy to work with both before and during the wedding. He kept our guests engaged and entertained. He was able to accurately read the room and tailor the music to keep everyone happy.

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!!!!!!

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!

He did all announcements in both English and Spanish, knew the right music to play for all to enjoy and have a great evening. Besides his excellent DJ and MC skills, he also was extremely professional and patient with us the entire process. He has a really nice software for you to use while planning your timeline and music selections.

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.

We had the Front of House band from Arlen Music Productions play at our wedding in April, and they were absolutely fantastic! From professional musicians who attended, to the grandmas... everyone was ecstatic in their feedback. We had an incredible time dancing and singing all night long. The band exceeded our expectations with their surprises and delights throughout the evening. Even the sound engineers were top-notch, and we appreciated their flexibility with our (numerous) playlists during downtime. The whole group handled everything with precision and grace. David was an amazing master of ceremonies, creating a genuine connection with us and perfectly understanding how we wanted the night to unfold. His attention to detail and ability to read the crowd made the evening unforgettable. Special shoutout to the keyboardist who played our ceremony, he was phenomenal and nailed all of our requests. Thank you, Front of House band, for an unforgettable celebration. Everything was on time and on point, making for a night we'll never forget (even if parts are a bit fuzzy!).
