Have about 200 people showing up to your reception and want to guarantee that everyone from your aunts and uncles to your most particular friend all send you texts about how perfect your wedding band was? Great, you're done with your search. We worked with The Hook Club on an ambitious two-day wedding, which included them doing live sound for our Friday welcome party, live sound for the music at our ceremony, some deep cut requests, and our desire to not just have "another wedding band." What we got was an incredibly talented, creative, and kind group of people who were ready to make whatever we wanted happen, ready to add ideas and layers, and who then completely blew away our expectations. We're in that era of our lives where we've been to about 100 weddings in the last 10 years, and we can honestly say that no band has even come close to The Hook Club. A year later everyone is still talking about how great our band was. They are true professionals in every sense of the word, and you should seriously consider booking your venue around whether or not THC is available. That's not hyperbole - they were that good.

She never looked back after her first lesson in October 2007. During her many years as a student, Olivia continued to push herself musically by competing in numerous competitions winning the annual Buckeye Christian School Organization’s spring competition for five consecutive years.

WOW, truly a remarkable experience, having Olivia and her harp at our wedding made the entire ceremony so memorable and unbelievably magical. Her talent is something that is out of this world, truly a gift. Her communication throughout the entire process was stressless, not only can you go over each element and song you're thinking about for the wedding. She is punctual and is flawless with set up and tear down. She truly adds the most perfect element to our wedding and are so grateful she was able to help add the most perfect touch to our big day. Thank you Olivia for being so special and making our day so amazing!!

Rhythm & Lights 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Serves Medinah, 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!!!

Rich and Avalon The Band played at our daughter's wedding. They were awesome! Rich's communications skills were great, prompt and informative. He lead us through what to expect and gave us insight as this was our first wedding we hosted. They were able to handle sound for the wedding ceremony and it was set up without having to remind or ask, which was appreciated. Rich helped us find a string duo to play during the wedding ceremony too. Rich guided us through the beginning of the reception and helped facilitate the order of speeches and again provided sound for that. The band is great, fun and people danced all night. Rich is kind, honest and works very hard to make sure we had what we wanted. What more can you ask for!

Music Mania, Inc. 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,400
  • Serves Medinah, IL

My career started in 1985 as a single-operating DJ company and I’ve performed at thousands of events in and around Chicago over the past 30+ years. In 2016, I started Photo Mania to accommodate the popularity of photo booths at weddings, corporate events, and social parties. And we’re still evolving to find better and faster photo booth technologies to create that buzz at your event. In my personal life, I was a volunteer firefighter for ten years and just retired from the fire service after a thirty-year career. Through my companies, we donate to various charities and events in and around Chicago to benefit the community.

These guys were the best. Dance floor was packed from beginning to end. We originally didn't have too many requests and let them do their own set and it was perfect. A few requests came in later and they worked them in so well.
