Our experience with Nicky Avalo has exceeded all our expectations. We had heard about Nicky’s services from friends who have attended previous weddings where Nicky’s presence played a large part in creating such fun and special memories. So my fiance and I were excited to get the chance to work with him. We have to say he lives up to his wonderful reputation. He has always been so accessible, responsive, and patient-making him such a joy to work with in the wedding planning process. Nicky has so effortlessly managed a huge deal of wedding logistics, from DJ services, photography, Photo Booth, working with other vendors, and helping us to think of timeline logistics from the very beginning to the very end of our wedding day. He is incredibly thoughtful and detail oriented and most of all considerate. We cared most about music and pictures and he matched us with a wonderful photographer, Jacquelyn Grace who was so kind, patient, and worked hard to capture the photo shot list we had and took amazing pictures of us on the skyline. So happy she was able to capture so many beautiful memories that we will cherish forever! Our photo booth was also a hit with the guests and the template he made matched our theme so nicely! He matched us with DJ Mike (Versatic) and MC Daniel who truly embraced our culture and made our Mexican American vision of a wedding come true. A true bilingual reception with music that weaved in and out our culture of Latin/Tejano music, to rock music like Bon Jovi, early 2000s hits, etc. Our guests had a blast! Nicky also went the extra mile when life made things a little overwhelming to plan our wedding on our own and we decided we needed a wedding planner. We felt comfortable enough to ask Nicky for help with our search and without hesitation Nicky helped us find a wedding planner within our budget. There is so much more we can say about Nicky and we cannot express enough how grateful we have been very his attention to detail that makes us feel assured that every moment of our special day will be nothing short of magical. Throughout our time together he always reminded us that our wedding was about us, and what we want, and was so thoughtful to make sure our wedding represented us as a Mexican American couple. He creates a lot of ease in wedding planning that provided so much comfort to us when wedding planning became inevitable stressful because we knew he was always a solid presence we could rely on. He even showed up to our wedding day just to check in that everything was going as we wished. Nicky's expertise, dedication, and knowledge about the wedding industry has transformed and transcended our wedding vision into reality. We are immensely grateful for his exceptional service and wholeheartedly recommend Nicky Avalo Studios to anyone seeking an stress-free and unforgettable wedding experience.

We had jonny as our dj. We were looking for a bilingual dj in our area. We had difficulty finding someone here locally so we began looking out of state. Jonny’s profile on instagram came up and thought he was a great fit. We talked to chris and he went out of his way to make the travel, the hotel accommodations, and even the dj rentals outside of their own equipment to make our day work! Jonny took part in all of our meetings. They both where great to work with as we went through our song choices, the timelines, and gave us a lot of great advice in how we planned our day. The day of jonny took great care of us. He was there early to set up, got with the event coordinators, and adjusted to any on the spot changes needed. The music was great, as a bilingual couple, the music, the ability to MC and communicate everything in both english and Spanish went by smooth! Jonny truly has a gift in reading the room, playing music, and being a great MC. Both chris and jonny work great to make any accommodations, to make our day as stress free as possible.

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. If you're looking to add a special touch to your wedding day that will keep the party going, look no further!

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Portage, IN

A Chicago based DJ that has worked events in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, New York City, Miami, and Internationally. He likes to draw from from his roots in Houston, New Orleans and current home of Chicago to create a fun atmosphere for his clients. Graduate of Xavier University of Louisiana and Tulane University in New Orleans, this former social worker knows a good party.

DJ Chriss was so great to work with for my husband and I's wedding day. We really took our time to create a more modern wedding playlist from ceremony, to cocktail hour, and into reception as we wanted a more upbeat and lively atmosphere that is in sync with who we are as a couple rather than your standard classic wedding playlist we've heard over and over that we can't really dance to the way we would like. He listened to us and appreciated the list we sent over while understanding our taste and adding some songs to it throughout the wedding day that made for an amazing time that our guests can't stop talking about! -Kristin and Ryan Roberts 6.25.22
