DJ Davin Titus 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,300
  • Serves River Grove, IL

Elevate your event experience. I provide premium sound system, dance floor lighting, tube lighting, full room dynamic up lighting, live DJ mixing, and emceeing, to any event you are imagining. I try to help any potential client gain a better perspective on the importance of not only hiring someone to play a role as a "DJ" - (aka someone who simply plays music) but also having that same person actively assist with the flow of the event and truly becoming integrated within your event. If you feel like we would be a great fit, I'd love the opportunity to chat!

Davin was INCREDIBLE! He was an incredible communicator, extremely organized, was on top of everything before our wedding day and during, and was incredibly talented. He played music that we requested as well as adding songs that matched the vibe. I really liked that he was actually DJing too. It wasn’t just like a Spotify playlist playing. I don’t know the right words to use but he used remixes and added beats to songs that would normally be difficult to dance to. My now husband and I didn’t want to leave the dance floor. There were plenty of times when we wanted a break from dancing physically but then another great song would come on so we just ended up staying on the dance floor. I even heard guests say they were getting some fresh air for a second and then the song would change and they changed their minds too and kept dancing. Honestly you couldn’t ask for a better DJ for your event. Such a talented and great guy!

That's My DJ Entertainment 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,995
  • Serves River Grove, IL

DJ NickyVon is musically diverse and skilled in many aspects of DJing. Having graduated from Scratch DJ Academy, Chicago, he's extremely dedicated and immersed in the DJ community. Having grown up in the 90's he couldn't help but fall in love with hip-hop, but that also played an important part as he learned to explore other genres like, rock, house music, and funk. His diverse music knowledge allows him to blend in any type of environment. Brands such as Match.com and State Farm have trusted him to create a fun and exciting atmosphere for some of their events.

We had a good time with Reggie. He kept the crowd engaged and even had the pleasure of other wedding receptions in the building coming over for the music.

Absolutely amazing experience working with this team! We had received several strong recommendations for Crown Ent when we were on the hunt for our wedding DJ and we are so glad we made the choice to hire them. We are so happy with not only the music DJ Samir put on for our baraat, ceremony, and reception, but also with his attention to detail, constant friendly communication, and willingness to go above and beyond what we asked of him. Throughout the planning process, Samir was readily available for input on all aspects of the wedding weekend (timelines, floor plans, song edits, lighting items, backup plans, the list goes on and on). He was always a quick text away for any clarifications/questions/recommendations—we believe this focus on customer service is something that sets these guys apart from the rest. Instead of going through the hassle of providing a song list, we had a quick conversation with Samir about what we were looking for and he took that and ran with it. Our guests had an absolute blast as there were no lulls on the floor which we loved. We cannot stress how lucky we feel to have had Samir as our DJ. If you are looking for a great DJ company this is your stop!

Honey+Vinyl 

5.0

  • Production company
  • Serves River Grove, IL

After years working at a luxury entertainment design company in NYC, I noticed a void in live music, one where planners saw music as the background to the main event rather than something that can guide and elevate it. The bands weren’t listening to the room. We should make deliberate music choices based on the people in it, reacting to them. Not the other way around. My desire to create this harmony sparked the founding of Honey+Vinyl in 2013. Ten years in the industry, she began to dive deeper into the science of sound; how lighting, décor, food and timing interact with music, which drove her to establish the Sonic Sommelier™ service.

We hired Honey & Vinyl for our wedding and liked them so much we had them back for our anniversary party. Honey has an amazing voice and spent time with us to not only create a personalized song list but also understand the "mood" we were trying to create for our events. The group's performance at both events was nothing short of spectacular and really added the extra "wow" we were seeking.

If we could give The Hook Club more stars, we would! Let me get my one gripe out of the way at the top here: I’m pretty sure the only reason my now husband agreed to a wedding celebration was to hire The Hook Club after seeing them at a friend’s wedding before we met. It was the only part of the wedding planning process he felt truly passionate about from the jump – we knew we wanted them before we even had a venue or date and went so far as to clear our potential dates with them before booking anything else. Fast forward, and Dan made the band planning process so supported and seamless that my husband’s one job went off without a hitch. The problem? Despite me planning every other single little detail of our three-day wedding weekend, the first thing that every single guest complimented (and still raves above, 1 month later) was THE BAND! But in truth, we wouldn’t have it any other way. We are absolutely ecstatic with our choice of hiring The Hook Club for our wedding. We did acoustic guitars for the ceremony, sax and tracks for cocktail and band and DJ for reception. THC was outstanding to work with from the jump. Dan is a wealth of knowledge and organization, and brings a calm, cool, collected vibe through every step of the planning process. Not to mention, he’s a great musician who can come discuss timeline with you while also playing the base day of :D. The process THC uses to help plan is smooth and clear. The communication was great throughout – we knew what to expect from the first planning call all the way up to some adhoc timeline changes day of. The band has an extensive repertoire and was able to take in our song, vibe, and timeline requests while also using their extensive experience to guide us along the way. The music carried the vibe throughout the day – from guitars at the ceremony to sax and tracks leading through cocktail hour and a mix of dance sets, slow dances, and expert MC’ing on the dance floor, we couldn’t get enough. So much so, that we extended the end time of the event just to have more fun on the dance floor with THC! Everyone was so nice, supportive, energetic and just brought their outstandingly talented A game and the absolute best vibe. The band got out on the dance floor with us, led us in call and response and a little choreographed proud Mary moment. Our first dance song is not a very common song, not only did THC learn it for us, but they provided us a track of their composition beforehand so we could practice the dance. You’ll see in the pictures my face when I first heard them play it – completely awestruck! That was pretty much my inner face the entire rest of the night in their presence. I have so many fond memories of engaging with THC throughout our wedding. If I could do it again, I’d hire THC without a second thought.

Our experience with Steven Carter was wonderful! From the very start, he was extremely attentive to our questions, and quick to respond! When it came to our music preferences, he carefully put together our song choices and requests, and came up with a fantastic set of playlists for each part of our wedding day.

Awarded Best of Zola
They say a dream is a wish your heart makes, and Erica was truly a dream to have at my wedding, not only as a musician, but as a warm and kind presence. The very first time I spoke with Erica I just fell in love with her warmth, kindness, professionalism and confidence. We laughed so much on the first call I knew immediately I had to hire her. After the call, my fiancé said that musician you spoke with made you so happy you better just hurry up and hire her. I never even spoke to another musician…I knew none could even come close to Erica. I hired Erica in July for my December Disney wedding. I never felt rushed, overwhelmed or anything stressful. Erica is so kind, her voice is ethereal and she knows how to read a room. She even recommended an amazing officiant to me when I was struggling to find one. Erica was the hit of my wedding, when she started singing to open the ceremony a bird flew up to her, perched next to her and sang with her. Even the bird wanted to be close to her and felt her kindness. This was the most beautiful moment and my guests are still talking about it. I wanted a Disney/Christmas wedding theme and Erica delivered in every aspect. She was also beautifully dressed and looked gorgeous (nobody wants sloppy vendors lol). Erica created the perfect atmosphere by intertwining romantic Disney music as well as Christmas songs. Erica made the wedding a dream come true. The fact that she is well known also helps, as most vendors and venues love working with her. She learned a few new songs for me and worked seamlessly with my other vendors to create the perfect, yes absolutely perfect, day. Thank you Erica! You are a true star!

I can’t say enough good things about Tyson. He communicated with us so clearly, was so careful and caring with our day. We are extremely passionate about music and he took that to heart and curated the party vibe accordingly. Genuinely everyone was on the dance floor the entire night. He took a strange request from me for the father daughter dance and executed it exceptionally, he learned the song I wanted to walk the aisle to on guitar beautifully, and the photobooth was a HUGE hit. I had multiple people ask me if Tyson knew us personally because the music was perfectly synced to who we are. We spoke on the phone for over an our telling him what we like and don’t like and he really worked with it. We booked pretty much every service he offers and he knocked it all out of the park seamlessly. We feel so lucky to have found him and can promise you that you will not regret booking him for your event !!!!!!

Going into our wedding, our main request of our DJ was to keep people on the dance floor as much as possible throughout the night, and Herbert certainly delivered. Guests of all ages danced the night away and one of our friends even split his pants open from dancing so hard! Herbert did an excellent job of integrating our requests and music tastes with the ebb and flow of the ceremony/dinner/dancing portions of the evening. He was incredibly easy to work with and very communicative throughout the whole process!
