Hi, I am DJ James. I have 20 years of DJ experience, including hundreds of weddings and other gatherings. I utilize all the latest MP3 and Lighting technology that will make your next event a big success! My main mission is to provide ultra low cost DJ & Lighting services in combination with ultra high production value to all off my clients. Many DJ's and DJ companies nickel and dime their potential clients to no end and then have the audacity to provide sub-par performance and use outdated or just plain cheap equipment. Not so with DJUj. All my equipment is updated and I always use state of the art equipment.....Yorkville, Shure, Mackie, JBL, QSC, Sony, employing backup components. There is never a charge for set up/break down, and I do welcome all of my clients to see me live if they would like. This is something many DJ's & DJ companies will not do as they do not know who they are going to send out. You always get me and only me.

Our wedding on July 29, 2023 was a blast, thanks to DJ James! He was not only a great DJ who played awesome music, but also a great MC who kept the reception running smoothly and was super fun in the process. He played jazz at a good volume during dinner and then used high energy dance music from across the decades to keep everyone on the dance floor. He was very professional, responsive, and flexible. It was so easy to work with his music selection process, and he also worked well with our other vendors to make sure everything was on track. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ and MC for our special day. We highly recommend you to anyone who wants to have an amazing wedding. Thank you so much DJ James!! You rock! -Celine and John

We worked with Biossat Custom Productions to contract a harpist (for the ceremony) and a live band (Rythmique, for the reception) to play at our fall wedding with 120 guests, and we cannot highly recommend them enough. From start to finish, the Biossat team worked closely with us to understand and execute what music we envisioned for our wedding day, even helping to coordinate us doing a special performance with the band, which was such a special treat. 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!

  • Solo performer
  • Serves Prospect Heights, IL

Janelle Lake plays harp professionally throughout Chicagoland and the United States. Her days are filled performing, teaching, and traveling. Performances include her positions as principal harpist of the Elmhurst Symphony Orchestra since 2005 and the Southwest Symphony Orchestra since 2007 working under many batons. I have been playing the harp for over 25 years and can play almost everything from Bach to Daft Punk. I have fun pushing traditional boundaries of what the harp can play which includes over 10,000 pieces in my repertoire. My quote always includes wireless amplification if needed.

Janelle Lake, Harp was a wonderful addition to our wedding day. From our first conversation, Janelle was personable, sweet, and very understanding of our vision for the ceremony music. On the day of, she arrived punctually and played beautifully, creating a magical and intimate atmosphere with her talented harp performance. The value she provided was amazing - her music truly enhanced our special day in a way that exceeded our expectations. We are so grateful to Janelle for being a part of our wedding and would highly recommend her services to any couple looking for a talented and professional harpist.

Steve Edwards Orchestra 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Prospect Heights, IL

The Steve Edwards Orchestra is the premier ensemble for the most memorable parties in Chicago, the Midwest, and beyond. For your special event, the single most important aspect in creating a beautiful atmosphere and transporting your guests is the music you choose! From the moment the doors open until the last sip of champagne, The Steve Edwards Orchestra guarantees that your guests will be out on the dance floor from start to finish, and talking about the marvelous time they had long after the evening draws to a close.

We hired SEO in part because they played at my sister's wedding 15 years ago and people still talk about how good they were. The band did not disappoint on the night of the wedding! Everyone was talking about how great they were all night and beyond! They had the dance floor packed until the end. They also provided our ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner music. Every part of the evening was great! The one thing to be aware of is that their website could use some updating and their set list is not up to date with everything they play. Overall, we would highly recommend the band!

UpBeat Orchestra 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Prospect Heights, IL

Michael is an accomplished band leader and producer in a broad range of styles – as one student put it, ‘The Indiana Jones of the music world.’ He has been performing jazz and pop professionally 25 years with the likes of Branford Marsalis, Eric Clapton, Clark Terry, Brian Culbertson, an Kat Parsons Group to name a few. For the past decade, Michael's group, UpBeat, has performed in clubs, corporate galas, weddings, social events, and festivals throughout Chicago land – UpBeat has performed for numerous celebrities / exceptional events, including Jennifer Aniston, Mayor Richard M. Daley, Vince Vaughn, and recently opened for Lionel Richie.

Michael & UpBeat were EXACTLY what we needed for our wedding. Michael set up multiple phone calls with us before the wedding to go over details and understand what we wanted for our day. The band set up rehearsals just to practice our exact set list. We decided on Piano & Violin for the ceremony, with additional Piano for cocktail hour. The full band played a wonderful and creative 3 hour set during our reception. Upbeat set up all of our sound equipment and did a comprehensive sound check early that day. They even had a sound tech on their staff. Upbeat customized our wedding to our exact requests. They ensured to perfect our precessional, recessional, and prelude music. We requested contemporary love songs in which they rocked!! Our cocktail hour was perfect and the guests were complementing how talented the musicians were. Michael was our emcee for the nights events and ensured to follow my timeline to a T. He checked in multiple times with our wedding planner, as well as me and my husband. The 3-hour reception was full of energy, talent, and craftsmanship. Upbeat performed multiple medleys allowing songs to flow seamlessly into each other. The vocalists were top tier and were able to sing a wide variety of genres. The instrumentalists all played a critical role in the feel of the party! I 100% recommend adding the horn to your band! It made every song feel rich & full. Shout out to Reid Spears, piano & vocals, THE TALENT IS POURING OUT OF HIM. If you're thinking about a live band, DO IT. This band is worth every penny!!! We will forever be a fan of UpBeat! Maddy & Sean
