The day of, everything was set up and ready to go right on time (we also did uplighting and a photo booth through Encore!) and the music was pumping. Emilio frequently checked in on us throughout the event and made sure we were ready to go for each part of our schedule. He also was able to read the crowd and played the perfect music to fit the mood while also incorporating both our requests and the crowd's requests. We can't recommend Clik Entertainment (and especially Emilio!) enough!

Ken did an absolutely stellar job. I don't know many people who rave about their wedding DJ, and why would you, right? They play songs for about 5 hours, take requests, and that's about it, right? Not with Ken, not with Amp. Every minute of the night was thoroughly thought out and put together. Our wedding simply wouldn't have been as memorable with another run of the mill DJ.

I've been to my fair share of weddings the last few years and I can definitively say that Yazz Events is one of the best live wedding bands I have ever seen. My calves were more sore the day after the wedding than when I ran the Chicago Marathon a few weeks prior. That's how hard I was dancing all night. We had a bilingual wedding (Spanish/English) and the MC, Hector, was able to speak and instruct guests in both languages. SO AWESOME! They also played the perfect blend of songs in both languages. Many of our Spanish speaking guests had not seen a live band like this before and they loved it. Amy, the owner, was amazing with planning and giving suggestions for the setlist. We also hired the jazz duo for our rehearsal dinner. They added such a calming presence to that night. 10/10 all around. Thank you Yazz Events!

At Toast & Jam, we believe that a thoughtful mix of pop favorites, hip-hop bootyshakers, Motown classics, and timeless standards are fun and self-respecting alternative to those embarrassing and played-out dancefloor clichés.

Toast & Jam and DJ Alli Klein were FANTASTIC!! Music was so incredibly important to me for our wedding and Alli understood the assignment and delivered. I had multiple people come up to me during and after our wedding and say that the music was the best they’ve ever heard at any wedding. Not to mention everything went off perfectly without a hitch. If you want a rocking dance floor and to party hard then look no further than toast and jam.

I found Mike via thumbtack & although on there it stated he was booked on my wedding date I thought I’d still reach out to him. I’m so happy I did because he put me in touch with our dj, thankyouteddy and he did an awesome job djing for our wedding! Mike was very informative and gave me plenty of information. He also has you do a questionnaire to help narrow down the right dj for you based off your music preferences. Mike will reached out periodically to follow up & also puts you in touch with the dj the week of the wedding to go over details. Teddy arrived on time and kept everyone on our toes throughout the night. The only thing I will say, is if you’re doing bridal party introductions it’s best to rehearse it if possible. Or give an exact time of the song for your dj to play when each couple comes out.

Bill and John did a wonderful job for mine and my Husbands special day. From the very first phone call, Bill was very informative and reassuring that they would get the job done to fit our vision. They even came to the rehearsal (small extra cost) to make sure all music cues were exactly how I wanted them which was great as many DJs had told me “no.” It really helped ease my nerves knowing things were well executed and ran through the day before. Throughout the planning process, Bill was very responsive to any questions I had via email or extra phone calls. I did have a change I added in last minute so our dog could be apart of reception announcements and they didn’t even flinch at the last minute change of plans. They nailed it. They played great songs, surprised us with a gift after our first dance, and even kept bringing my girls and I fans cause they had us dancing all night. We cannot thank both Bill and John enough for helping us execute our big day! -The O’Havers

She has a great personality, warm and genuine presence, and has so much passion for her craft. We knew coming out of that consultation that we wanted to book her, but soonafter realized that she actually was the DJ for my friend's wedding earlier in the year -- so that additional seal of approval instantly sealed the deal for us.

Everything went exactly according to plan -- who can say that about their wedding?? -- and she was a large contributor to that. Norah followed all of my planning documents (I didn't have a planner or day-of coordinator) and was quick on her toes -- despite an ankle injury -- to improve upon those plans as needed day-of, working closely with our caterer, photographer, officiant, her assistant (due to the injury), and family/friends to ensure my husband and I could have an amazing, worry-free day. And of course, she provided the soundtrack for the whole day, using all of my 'must-plays,' none of our 'do-not-plays', and filling in the gaps with crowd favorites. She was such a joy to work with.

Funktastic Productions Llc. was an absolute hit at our wedding! From the very first interaction, their communication was quick, friendly, and super detailed - they clearly cared about making our day perfect. And that's exactly what they delivered. I chose to have live piano and violin at my ceremony and they sounded beautiful together. They played every song I requested with depth and precision- even the fairly new music (I requested Birds of a Feather for the recessional, and they NAILED it!) They provided mics to the musicians and the officiant stand, which ended up being a lifesaver for us. The DJ and violinist were both fun and talented, keeping the dance floor packed all night long. DJ Servaun in particular did an amazing job matching the vibes, emceeing, and balancing in the moment song requests with a killer playlist. Get the DJ with Musician accompaniment package!! The electric violin player lit up the dance floor & guests LOVED it! Quote: “Best wedding I’ve ever been to! I’ve never been to a wedding where ‘Not Like Us’ got a violin accompaniment”. I also used Funktastic for our photobooth service and it was one of the most popular parts of the wedding.

Hi, I’m Trevor Harris, founder and DJ at Total Harmony Entertainment. I truly love helping couples turn their vision into a celebration they’ll never forget. Your DJ should do more than play music, they should create energy, guide the flow, and make every moment feel effortless. From planning to the last dance, I work closely with you to keep things seamless and stress-free, delivering custom playlists, packed dance floors, and an experience that’s personal, polished, and unforgettable.

From the moment we booked Total Harmony Entertainment, we knew we were in good hands. Trevor was incredibly professional, experienced, and committed to making our wedding day special. They kept the dance floor packed all night long, and even surprised us by getting me on the mic to sing my favorite song during a spontaneous karaoke session. Trevor also made some great executive decisions throughout the night, ensuring everything ran smoothly. We felt so appreciated and special, especially during our grand entrance to the reception. Total Harmony Entertainment truly went above and beyond to make our wedding unforgettable.

We couldn’t have asked for a better band for our wedding! From the very beginning, they were incredibly helpful during the planning process and made everything so easy and stress-free. Communication was excellent throughout. Any questions we had were answered promptly and clearly, and they truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was just right. The performance itself was absolutely amazing. The band brought such incredible energy to the night and kept everyone on the dance floor from start to finish. We’ve received so many compliments from our guests about how great the music was and how much fun they had. The setlist was perfect, and their talent as musicians and entertainers really shone through. A special shoutout to Matt, who was awesome to work with – professional, friendly, and super organized. He made us feel completely confident going into the big day and delivered beyond our expectations. Also, Laura was a fantastic emcee! She kept the flow of the evening smooth and engaging, and her presence added such a polished, personal touch to the event. If you’re looking for a band that will elevate your wedding and create an unforgettable experience, this is the one. We can’t recommend them highly enough!
