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!

We came across Monu and the team while attending another wedding this past year, and at that time we knew we had to have them DJ our wedding! From the initial inquiry till the night of our reception, Monu and Maulin did everything they could to make sure the entire process would be as seamless as possible. Our reception was an unforgettable night for us! The dance floor was lit up the entire night and we honestly could have kept going for a few more hours with Monu playing all the right music. From the white vinyl floor, the 3 LED screens, lighting, the fog machine, and of course, the incredible music, CSE was able to provide us with everything we needed to make this night unforgettable for us.

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!

If you are searching for a DJ, look no further. Karl made our reception flow so easily. Between his thorough questionnaire and past experience, he took our vision and made it into a reality! He engaged our guests and took it upon himself to make sure the dance floor was always full! I have been to weddings where the DJ does not adapt to the room, but Karl is the exact opposite! He made sure to sus out the music preferences and include all age groups. We loved having him and we are so glad we entrusted him with our special day!

Brass String Chamber Ensemble 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Elmhurst, IL

Paul and Kris met in 1989 while playing in an orchestra in Wheaton, IL. They started the Brass String Chamber Ensemble in 1990 which quickly became very popular throughout Chicago and the suburbs. They have played over 2000 weddings and special events and have thousands of titles in their combined music library. The BSCE enjoys playing for ceremonies but also cocktail hour and during dinner. They are familiar with all traditional church ceremonies and also happy to play in banquet halls, country clubs, hotels, or even at a lovely home celebration. They are based in Naperville but travel throughout Chicago and the suburbs.

The Brass String Chamber Ensemble (BSCE) are an absolute pleasure to work with and we 100% recommend that you hire them to perform at your wedding! The BSCE played our wedding in October 2019 at St. Mary Catholic Church in Mokena, IL. Our decision to hire them was one of the easiest and best decisions we made during the entire wedding planning process! We discovered the BSCE during a wedding showcase and were extremely impressed with their offerings across the board. The setup we saw during the showcase was a very professional one and the music that we heard matched it perfectly. We knew right away that these musicians were true professionals and that they take their craft very seriously. In addition to the classical music you'd expect to hear at a wedding, we also heard them play a lot of pop music during the showcase as well. We thought this was really cool because it shows that they are willing and able to play some more modern hits. Another big factor that influenced our decision to hire the BSCE was how comfortable we felt talking to them about our ideas and what our vision was. Shoutout to Paul and Kris for being so down-to-earth, friendly, and accommodating during the entire process! Once we gave them the contact information for our music director at the church they were able to work directly with her on all of the details. This was great for us because it was one less thing we would have to worry about coordinating ourselves. Fast forward to October 12, 2019, the day of our wedding - the music was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! The church sounded so full of sound which truly helped to create one of the most memorable and love filled experiences of our lives so far. All of the musicians played in perfect harmony throughout the entire wedding. One especially memorable part of the music during our wedding was the use of the trumpet. To be honest we were kind of on the fence about whether or not we wanted to include the trumpet in the ensemble. However, after going to the BSCE website and listening to their audio excerpts (http://www.thebsce.com/audio.html) we decided that we did want to include the trumpet and we were SO glad that we did! While the organ and strings create an amazing sound all on their own, adding a brass instrument like the trumpet definitely takes it to the next level and makes the music at your wedding especially memorable. My wife and I just celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary on October 12, 2020 and as is tradition we ate our saved slice of wedding cake and re-watched our wedding video. Let me tell you that hearing the music again during the ceremony instantly brought us both back to that very moment at the altar - we both had chills!

DJ Obie

  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Elmhurst, IL

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
We first came across DJ Obie at our very good friends wedding. It didn't take long before I ran behind the DJ booth for his information so he could DJ our wedding a few months later. DJ Obie is the biggest hype man and his energy level is unmatched. He is so easy to work with and very accommodating. He made us feel like we were the biggest event he had planned for the year and that he was just as excited to work with us as we were with him. This is a DJ that truly loves what he does and truly enjoys making other people's visions come to life. Not only did we love him, our wedding guests couldn't get enough of him. He is the perfect balance of energy and intimacy if you are looking for a wedding DJ. Do not look any further because you will miss out.

We chose Crimson Events for our wedding DJ and wow, what an excellent choice that was! Cannot speak highly enough of Drew; from the planning all the way through the actual event, he was on top of every detail. It is pretty rare to find someone who is both extremely professional/organized AND has the creative skillset that Drew has. He was really able to feel the pulse of the event & keep the party going, the dance floor was packed the whole night. Excellent emcee work as well throughout the day and into the evening, even with some unexpected last-minute changes. We have been getting compliments left and right from our guests about how fantastic our DJ was... and we agree! While we were really happy with all of our vendors, Crimson Events was hands down the best-spent money of the entire wedding experience. 5 stars!!

The name Funktastic is more than a genre of music - it’s a tight-knit family of stellar talent with a finely and meticulously curated repertoire spanning every style of music. 6-15 Piece Bands, Live DJ Hybrids, Photo Booths, and more, Funktastic is reserved for those who have a refined musical taste and need for having the best night of their lives. A collection of Chicago's finest black voices, musical authenticity comes from within the music. Musical authenticity comes from what's within the music. By tributing legendary artists with inclusion and diversity, we help preserve the African-American art form of Motown, Hiphop, Pop, and more!

It’s been 2 months since my wedding and I still have no words… Funktastic is by far the best wedding band I’ve ever heard (and yes, I’m biased so take it from the nearly 30 guests that told us the same)! Mike was so fantastic to work with, answering all of my many questions and putting me at ease. Amber was so incredibly organized and beyond helpful in working with us to create the perfect setlist. And now the band… while I was referred to Funktastic by some friends and coworkers, the thing that really sold me was the energy that the band brings, the band members’ MANY masters degrees in jazz (like what, music theory is so hard!!), and their insane ability to captivate an audience with their talent. Our singers were some of the best that I’ve ever seen, putting in these incredible riffs and belts that is practically unfathomable. Our band members were so in sync, vibing off of each other and putting a unique spin on every song. Needless to say, if I have any excuse to book a band for an event, I will 100% come back to Funktastic. Mike, Amber, and the entire band - thank you so much for making our music vision come to life! (Here’s to hoping all of our friends book you guys so we can keep seeing you perform)

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. 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. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.

Hank and the Park Avenue Orchestra were absolutely amazing! Throughout the whole planning process, Hank was extremely helpful and patient. He made it very clear from the start that they would do anything to make our day amazing – and they did not disappoint. I was completely blow away on our actual wedding day. My husband and I, of course, watched all of their videos (which were great), but they didn't compare to the live performance. The whole band was incredible – the drums, horns, guitar, the singers. All of our guests danced the entire time. They were also able to accommodate some of our special requests – our first dance song was not on their song list, and they were able to learn it in time for our day. They also let my father and brother play a song with the band (drums + bass) – it truly made our day! I can’t recommend Park Avenue Orchestra enough.

Felix & Fingers was the best addition to my wedding! We had a BLAST. It’s the best mix between a live band and sing along karaoke (but you don’t want your uncle to get the mic, you know?). They did beautiful ceremony music, incredible sax jazz during cocktail hour to keep it classy. Then, they kept everyone engaged and entertained for the reception, from my aunt in a walker to my college friends twerking. We danced the night away but lost our voices from screaming along with the songs too. 10/10 you can’t go wrong with dueling pianos - DJs and wedding bands are out, Felix & Fingers is IN!

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!

DRS MUSIC, INC

  • Serves Elmhurst, IL

David Rothstein Music was started in 1999. David believes each couple/client deserves to get exactly what they need for their specific event. DRM has a wide variety of ensembles and song choices to make every event meet and exceed your expectations!

We always ranked the music as the number one priority for our wedding, and we’re so glad we entrusted David Rothstein Band to bring our party to life. Planning a wedding during Covid had many challenges, including not being able to see the band live, but thankfully, David has so many live videos available where we can see the entertainment his band delivers day in and day out. Those videos, along with David’s passion for his work, made us confident to chose his team to make our day special. For our wedding, we had a classical duo during the ceremony, a pianist during cocktail hour, a jazz trio during dinner, and an incomparable 10 piece orchestra to dance the night away. From the first note to the final encore, we were BLOWN AWAY with the talent and energy that the band brought. We had a few special requests for the night - from a unique arrangement for our ceremony processional to a mashup of New York songs during the reception - and David’s team was beyond accommodating. We had dancing for 3 hours straight and not once did anyone leave the floor - the band was able to feel the energy in the room and chose the right song for the moment. I stumbled across the ingoing setlist after the party and was actually surprised to see that the band didn’t even stick to the songs they had picked - a sign that they adjusted based on what the crowd was loving. It’s been nearly a month since the big day and people keep telling us how amazing the music was, and we can’t stop watching the many videos David took from the night, reliving the magic that his band created. If you’re thinking about which band to have for your wedding, look no further than the David Rothstein Band - you won’t be disappointed!!
