I am so happy we booked Jeff for our 10/5/24 wedding! His energy is contagious and he knows how to read the crowd to keep the party going! His laser lights are so cool and were the perfect addition to the party. He listened to us through the entire process to make sure he gave us exactly what we asked for and he delivered! He gave us planning sheets which made it so easy to plan every aspect of the day. We got many compliments from guests on his MCing that said he kept everyone informed and the schedule moving.

Steve (our dj , recommend asking for him) and his crew were incredibly professional and helped us have the wedding of our dreams. They were very easy to work with during our planning phase. They arrived early at the venue to perform sound quality checks and ensured a perfect outdoor ceremony . They delivered an amazing performance for us. Many guests at the wedding complemented how well things flowed between events. Sound quality was exceptional. Literally the entire night once the dance floor opened, people were out there dancing and enjoying the night away. He was superb and we are lost for words. Overall, very impressed and just so thankful that we chose this company. Would not hesitate to choose these guys again.

To tell the story of our couples on the most important day of their life is something our team takes to heart. We guarantee that after your wedding day has ended, your guests will be raving about the unique moments we helped create. No 2 weddings are alike when you book us because we make sure to bring light to the things that make you as a couple different.

If music is a top priority for your event or you’re concerned you won’t find the right dj to fulfill all of your requests, worry no more. From start to finish Ken made the entire process a total breeze and we had fun while doing so! My husband and I were very specific on what we wanted for our wedding music production and Ken did not disappoint. Not only did we have full control of what would be played (& not played) throughout the evening but he made our night completely unforgettable. From his entire sound system which included a video screen that incorporated pictures and videos, to [up]lighting that went with our music, along with unique touches during first dances and our last dance, we were floored with how perfectly he executed our special day. It’s been over a year since our wedding and our guests are still talking about how we had the best dj and music. The only complaint we had was that our guests couldn’t leave the dance floor to grab a drink or take a break because the songs and energy kept getting better and better! I’d get married again in a heartbeat just to rebook Ken and dance the night away!

Park Avenue Orchestra

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Lake Villa, IL

Inspiring Experiences With A Lifetime Of Memories! The Perfect Compliment To Your Wedding Reception! We offer a Complete Entertainment Package from a Seven Piece Band to a Twelve Piece Orchestra. We also provide Ceremony Musicians, Emcee Services, and a variety of Performance Packages for any size Wedding Reception. Our extensive experience will assist you with the outline planning for your Memorable Event. The Park Avenue Orchestra, featuring dynamic performances through high energy and enthusiasm. We invite you to visit our new website for all the exciting details of our services, at www.parkavenueorchestra.com

I truly don’t know where to begin to thank Park Avenue Orchestra for the most perfect wedding day we could have ever asked for. From the moment we booked them to the very last (encore) song on the dance floor, Hank and the Park Avenue Orchestra made everything easy, seamless, and most of all SO. MUCH. FUN! I have seen Park Ave perform at 2 other weddings, but nothing compares to booking them for your own wedding. There were many “best” things about working with Park Avenue, but something that was so unbelievably special to us was the custom songs they learned for us for our first dances. Our song as a couple is Shut Up and Dance by Walk the Moon and they created a slowed down version of it for us to dance our first dance to. It still brings me to tears when I watch our wedding video, it was just so beautiful and perfect. They also learned a Josh Groban song for my husband and his mom that was so special. For my dad and I, they not only learned a new song, but they created a transition from a nice slow Frank Sinatra song and went straight into Jump in the Line so we could start a conga line. It was AMAZING and such an awesome way to open the dance floor! However, the best part of the whole night was Park Avenue’s rendition of Shout. WOW. I don’t have enough words to describe the fun, energy, and EPIC DANCE PARTY that happens when Ricky Rainbow sings shout. Looking back at our wedding video, I think EVERYONE was on the dance floor! I actually got so “low” that I laid down on the dance floor in my wedding dress lol It was EPIC and a moment we will never forget!!! I think we’ve watched it about 25 times since we got our video haha Aside from Shout, the band brought my dad up to play drums, they brought my sister and I up to play cowbell…they really know how to get the crowd involved and make it a night full of the best memories. Hank made the wedding planning process so easy, simple and seamless. He thoroughly explained everything to us and made the planning process stress free. By far, he was our absolute best wedding vendor to work with and was our biggest advocate the day of the wedding- even bringing my mom a drink (or 2) when the venue didn’t quite do things right. He ensured our big day went perfectly and if there were any issues on the band/music/lighting/audio front, we never had to deal with it or even heard anything about it. He is a true professional! Thank you Park Avenue for creating the soundtrack to the best night of our lives, it wouldn’t have been the same without you!

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!

Mike brought expert level attention to detail, along with a great feel for the vibe of our reception. First, he was very informative in our initial discussions, providing direct answers to each of our questions, and giving us an easy to fill in Google Doc for our input. He met with us and our event coordinator to discuss timeline and go over our preferences for certain parts of the ceremony. On the day of he was set up and ready to go for our cocktail hour, and by the time we entered for our first dance he had our (normally very shy) friends and family bumping with energy. During the first dance he kept an eye out for me to signal to wrap up our song a little early (nobody wants to hear a long instrumental outro...). He then proceeded to do a great job of MC'ing our dinner and toasts. Then our party was a complete blast. He expertly weaved in our recommendations with his own song picks. This was no small feat since our wedding featured a combination of American and South Indian cultures, meaning that he had to blend in a number of songs that were most likely new to him. Overall it went really well, with both of our dads having an amazing time, and our friends grouping up for some of the bigger tracks. He closed the night with a special intro to our closer song (Daft Punk's One more time) and everyone was asking for more (unfortunately venues have strict closing times). So, we would highly recommend for the professionalism, organization and ability to keep track of the party's mood as the night went on.

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.

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.

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.

Turntable Manners 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,295
  • Serves Lake Villa, IL

Turntable Manners was started by a group of passionate DJ's who collectively have many years of professional experience. Their passion for music and wanting to put quality DJ's in the forefront, has motivated them to start this new platform serving the greater Chicagoland.

Our dance floor was never empty!!! Dj Wrek, Jason from Turntable manners was amazing! the whole process of planning our wedding reception with him as so easy and simple. The reception ran so smoothly because Jason was on the ball and once the dance floor was open it wasnt empty, he read the room, knew when to change to the next song and what was needed to keep it pumping. He also listened to our specific request for songs we had as must plays and the final song of the night was perfect and a core memory for us. We have gotten so many compliments about how great our wedding DJ was and how great the dancing was.

  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Lake Villa, IL

Davis & Company Productions was birthed in a time of uncertainty during the pandemic shutdown of 2020. After years of being in the hospitality and service industry and quite a few weddings, I definitely found my passion for people only growing the more I got into it. From weddings and school dances to corporate and private family events, my goal with Davis and Company is to help create and execute magical moments meant to last a lifetime

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved our experience with Davis & Company! We are both small business owners, and we've both spent time working in the wedding industry to one extent or the other. So trust us when we say the professionalism of Lance and his attention to detail is unlike anything we've seen from a wedding DJ. Our discovery meeting was just that! We discovered everything we didn't have planned for our audio needs, which was humbling because we felt we had solid experience, as mentioned above. Lance walked us through step by step and ensured we felt fully prepared by the end of the meeting. He also worked with us to establish the vibe we wanted for the reception and the party! And yes, we mean vibe; trust us. If you want a wedding DJ you can trust to put on a great party and be there for what you need and make the process professional and painless, then look no further than Davis & Company!

Pete with Pete's My DJ was an amazing DJ for our wedding! His communication throughout the planning process was great - he was very responsive, professional, and made sure he understood all the little details that were important to me. The quality of his work was fantastic. He perfectly executed my walk down the aisle song and timing, and knew how to keep the dance floor packed all night by playing the right mix of songs to appeal to all our guests. I gave Pete some special song requests that were meaningful to me and he seamlessly incorporated them while also reading the vibe of the crowd. He helped make our wedding reception such a fun, high-energy party! If you're looking for a DJ who will listen to your vision and work hard to bring the party, I highly recommend Pete!
