I reached out and had an initial consultation call for my wedding in June. After the call, I was…read moretold I would receive a proposal, but more than two weeks passed without anything being sent. I followed up and was told I would receive the proposal by the end of the day, but I never heard back. I reached out multiple times over the following two weeks to everyone I had been in contact with and did not receive a single response. This lack of communication was extremely disappointing and felt unprofessional for a service costing $5,000+. I would not feel confident hiring a vendor who communicates this poorly for such an important event.

So I wait until October 17th and still receive no quote, so I reach out to them to express the urgency I needed this and that I was frustrated it was taking so long just to get an estimate that I was told would be sent over same day.. And they just didn't respond. Seems unprofessional considering they expect a 5k minimum just to book.

So many of our guests commented how great the music was and how much fun they had...going so far as saying it was the best music ever at a wedding. Geoff listened intently to us during our planning meetings, took notes and was diligent in understanding our style and vibe. We had a diverse genre of music from different decades including Christmas music and he wove it all together seamlessly. Thank you Geoff for helping us make our reception so unforgettable and fun!!!

John at the beginning was very nice, but the more I worked with him, the more I found him to lie…read more He started being very pushy about wanting the rest of his balance and wanting me to "put a good word in for him" with other event planners. At one time, he needed the money because he'd just had a baby and the following year he had the same excuse...kind of weird. I did not appreciate his pushing and trying to make me feel sorry for him.

Since he told me to find another DJ I did just that so we were set with Jaz Entertainment (Carlos is awesome). A-List sent a DJ at 6:30pm along with John's sidekick to ask if we still wanted their services. They tried to get me to say I didn't need a DJ but that isn't accurate since I did need a DJ and that's what I contracted them for. John is still refusing to refund and I've filed a complaint with BBB. Fortunately someone else stepped up to save the event.

As a DJ, Chris is enthusiastic, fun, flexible, creative and just a perfect addition to meaningful…read moreevents. What's more, as an event vendor, Chris is professional, responsive, thorough and above & beyond in ensuring he meets his clients' needs. He would be an incredible addition to any event and I would wholeheartedly recommend him to any local couples planning their wedding day. Fun story - I booked Chris on just a few hours' notice. The original DJ for my brother & sister-in-law's wedding hadn't confirmed any event timing or details with the couple and was completely unresponsive the morning of the wedding. Not so great. As a bridesmaid & an event planner all I saw were red flags. I jumped in for the poor bride, so she could actually you know, prepare for her day. I found Chris via Yelp and placed a call. A super awkward one in which I had to share that, oh yeah, the date of the wedding was today. Miraculously Chris was free that evening, familiar with the venue and willing to jump in. About 90 minutes later he was loading in and setting up. I had literally texted him song titles for key parts while getting ready and he kept very incomplete and messy information organized and in the correct order for the ceremony. What's more, during the cocktail hour, he took the time to get the bridal party's names correct - down to the pronunciation - for the reception introductions. He also spent time getting to know the couple, and even worked with the bartender to be sure guests of honor were never without a beverage. Finally, his DJing during the reception was incredible! So much fun with the perfect mix of classics, new songs and special requests. At one point he even joined in on the dance floor to keep the party going. It was such a great mix of music and once the dancing got started it continued straight through to the end. I appreciated how attentive he was to details and how seamless it was to work with him in a time crunch. Even having just worked with him for one day, it was so clear he takes time to get to know his clients and how he can create a perfect event for them. He's very much the type of wedding vendor who will make the entire planning process smoother and more fun for couples. I cannot say enough good things about working with Chris and think he'd be the perfect addition to any wedding or event!

A list of why my wedding rocked harder than yours:…read more 1. Our guests were sweating profusely 2. The cake we tediously selected, the key lime tart with chocolate crust, AND the after dinner champagne went untouched on the dinner tables 3. My sorority sisters were shaking their good girls at eye-level to anyone who dared to remain seated 4. Our bridal party was practically fornicating on the dance floor 5. No one wore shoes. Not even flip flops 6. No ghastly group dance numbers that even Grandma shudders at the thought of, were played during the reception 7. My bosses were caught on video shaking their tail feathers (who's looking forward to the company Christmas party this year???) 8. No one wanted to clear the dance floor even for the bouquet toss 9. My book club girls were taking their clothes off 10. Our guests were whipping napkins and scarves around their heads... like helicopters All this awesomness is solely due to the talents of one helluva DJ, Chris Colton. Chris kept the party going with killer music from the second those dinner forks went down, and guests from ages 18-75 were all acting kray until the very last call. Chris played dance music, rock music, and everything else we asked of him. Leading up to the wedding of the year (ahem, that'd be mine), Chris had us fill out a form that covered every basis possible. Definite play list, over my dead body playlist, stop the party for this song, etc. He also had us time out the reception to make sure we stayed on track, and worked with my wedding planner to put together the perfect agenda. Chris also took the time to put together a fantastic montage about our alma mater, Marshall University. We Are... Marshall!!! Hell yeah we numerous grads chanted that, and Chris made it happen. And when my sorority wanted to sing off pitch to Livin' On a Prayer and then stomp on the floor, he made sure that happened too. Chris has really comparable prices to other Chicago DJ's, but I don't think their skill set and enthusiasm can match his. Chris made our wedding a party to remember (and for some, one they want to forget, heh). He's also very accessable, which is so important when a song lightbulbs in your head and you JUST HAVE TO HAVE IT PLAYED! Be good brides and grooms and feed your DJ, give him really exact guidelines for what you envision your wedding to be like, and let him do his thing. Because he does it real freakin' well.

Jerry and Tina did an awesome job at our daughter's wedding (actually our 2nd daughter's wedding -…read morethey did our 1st daughter's wedding 2 years ago also)! They made sure everything went smooth, from coordinating the ceremony to keeping our guests dancing all night long. Jerry takes time to make sure each and every detail is taken care of and takes the pressure off of us having to know when things should occur during the evening. It was nice not having to worry about whether or not our guests were having a good time because it was obvious they were having a great time!!!! Thanks Jerry and Tina and we will be contacting you when our son decides to tie the knot.

5 Stars!! They were amazing from start to finish! Jerry and his crew are the best at what they do…read more They helped up put together our whole ceremony and reception. They not only are a Dj service but a wedding coordination service they knows everything you could think of and more for your wedding. My husband and I were very particular who we picked for a Dj service and knew from the first time we sat down with Jerry they were going to be our Dj's. They will make sure that every last details is discussed before the wedding so you can relax and enjoy your wedding. They even supplied us with a day of coordinator to help organizing every one for the ceremony. Everyone loved the music choices and fantastic lighting they did for us. Everyone danced all the way to the end.. We can't thank them enough for making our wedding the best day of our life. We HIGHLY recommend them for anyone's wedding! Top of the line service!!

I loved working with Something 2 Dance 2 for our wedding! Their online tools help you feel prepared…read morewell in advance, and the fact that they do a meeting ahead of time is also wonderful, and something I know not all companies do. Mike was our DJ, and he practice over and over to ensure that our names would be announced correctly which was important to me. Their online tools also helped because they offered suggestions, and also helped me think of all the different moments where I would need a song. I felt their price was very reasonable, especially for all of the planning time ahead. The DJ even provided us with a timeline of the evening in advance, and checked in throughout the night which I loved (things like- your dance with your dad is in 5 minutes, I'm going to make sure he is ready to go too). I highly recommend them for any event!
