It was amazing to work with Tyson! The final meeting before the wedding was so helpful for us to fully understand what our day will look like. On top of being our DJ, he was also our officiant. It was such an awesome service for him to offer. He was easy to work with to make minor changes to the ceremony script. He brought such a positive and fun energy to our ceremony. Then as we moved into the reception, we had some specific requests for music and announcements and he was able to make everything flow perfectly, just as we had imagined. He kept people on the dance floor all night and it was such a blast! Definitely could not recommend Tyson more for your wedding officiant and DJ!

Rhythm & Lights

  • DJ
  • Serves Buffalo Grove, IL for additional fees

SO Rhythm & lights was founded in 1989. And the premise is really simple, simple pricing that includes everything we got. We only have two add ons. If you need the ceremony, and if you want a photobooth. Our teams going to setup all the lighting, and give you their all every single time, because the price doesnt dictate if they do that. We got you covered from every aspect. We do not do hourly rates, so no need to worry about the smallest details. BEcause we worry about the smallest details. You can just have FUN at your wedding.

Rhythm and lights exceeded our expectations. They were easy to work with every step of the planning process and very helpful. As a nervous bride this was very important, their attention to detail throughout was a huge weight off my chest, knowing I didn’t have to worry about anything. Mitch was our dj and he was absolutely amazing. The reception flowed flawlessly and the dance floor was full all night. (Ask for Mitch) I can’t imagine how different my wedding would have been if I hadn’t booked Rhythm and lights! Literally the best ️. Thank you!!!

  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Buffalo Grove, IL for additional fees

My love of music started in the back seat of my dads car as he took me to daycare, with Marvin Gaye's "What's Goin On" on repeat. My love of music spans generations, cultures and genres, and has taken me all over the world, from England, Spain, St. Marteen, and Austria. My hope is that you allow me to curate a musical experience that will leave your guest talking about your wedding for years to come. As for me, I am a Brooklyn native, who during the pandemic was able leave corporate career to pursue my passion of music. My perspective, is to include and create, safe spaces for guests to feel young, and carefree - even if for a few moments.

With regard to our 35th Anniversary Vow Renewal Ceremony & Celebration, we want to thank Gregory Wilson for his professional services and for lending his creative artistry to our vision! You listened to our desires and you delivered! The pre ceremony jazz was unexpected, unbelievably beautiful and it definitely helped relieve my stress(you pay attention). From the guest arriving, to the entrance of the groom and the officiants, to and including my entrance, the advice you gave and suggestions that you made about the music was spot on! As a matter of fact, your comments about the various transitions in music and the event runtime in general was invaluable. Thank you Gregory Wilson for the soulful sounds that you curated with us in mind! You kept the music flowing, your timing, your sense of humor and the way you interact with others is refreshing. You definitely left us all wanting another hour or two!!

I have been a professional musician for my entire life. My mom was a music teacher & started me on piano at age 5. At 14, I discovered singing & the guitar. They have been a big part of my life since. I am an alum of Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA & toured the country extensively. Wedding receptions have always been my favorite because of the wonderful joyous feeling in the air. I enjoy putting on a great show & exceeding the client's expectations. I own a music school and understand that the customer is king. I've done over 300 weddings & always do my best to ensure that your special day is spectacular.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hi I just copied and pasted this from the review I sent over. This band was incredible!! I’m so happy we decided to go with them—they rocked all night! The number one thing guests were commenting on, I can’t tell you how many times I was asked, “Where did you FIND them?!” The songs they played were perfect; you can really tell they pay attention to the vibe of the crowd! They offer services for all sound needs throughout the day (mics for officiant, ceremony sound, cocktail hour, etc). Rich is an all-around good person: professional, kind, easy-going. Typically responds within a day, which I was so thankful for! And they’re completely affordable, it won’t cost you an arm and a leg to have great live music!! We knew we wanted a band but I hadn't had luck finding anyone close to us that was affordable, responsive, and had wedding experience, so we almost gave up and had a dj instead, but I'm so happy we found Avalon! I cannot say enough times they exceeded all expectations and made the reception so unforgettable! Thank you for all the energy and talent you brought to our special day!
