    I had DRS Music in mind for live music at our wedding even before we picked the venue! I did my fair share of research on various live bands/musicians early on during our engagement, and when the time finally came to choose, I knew we HAD to work with DRS Music--what sold me initially was a combination of the transparency on their website, the consistent 5-star reviews I read across several sites, and the raw video footage of the talented musicians in action. I knew we made the right decision as soon as we got in touch with David. When I first submitted my inquiry for availability of the jazz trio for our wedding reception dinner, David responded probably within a day--the fastest of all the vendors I previously reached out to! Instead of an email in response, he called me directly, which is something I greatly appreciated, especially when a lot of wedding planning can feel like a waiting game. I was worried I wouldn't be able to find live music for our wedding given that it was a very small and intimate affair. David reassured me that he's all about celebrating US and what we want out of our wedding. Whether your wedding is "big" or "small," David will work with you to find the best option for your special day. From our initial call, to getting him in touch with our venue event coordinator, David was nothing but responsive and supportive throughout the entire process. Closer to our wedding date, he sent over a questionnaire that asked my husband and I to share the details of our love story and the music we wanted played at our reception. David noted that we love the show, "Lost," and he had a special poster with our photo on it created just for us and for all our guests to sign. Throughout the night, the jazz trio played BEAUTIFULLY all the songs/genres we requested, and David was available to communicate with throughout the evening and served as our MC. We received compliments from our family all night and even after our wedding about David and the jazz trio. At our request, the trio learned our first dance, mother/son, and father/daughter dances; they played the most beautiful renditions of our favorite classics, really setting the mood for a special night. My dad, who loves live music, was in tears before he even made it to the dance floor when he heard the trio play "What a Wonderful World" for our father/daughter dance. On top of an unforgettable night, David offered to take our floral arrangements to a nursing home, where he dropped them off the following morning for another person to enjoy :) I cannot recommend DRS Music enough! The 5-star reviews about DRS Music speak for themselves, offering genuine praise for the musicians' unmatched professionalism and incredible talent. David, in particular, shines not only as a captivating MC but also as a pleasure to collaborate with, ensuring every event is seamless and unforgettable. Thank you David, Adrian (piano), Nate (saxophone), and Joshua (double bass) for sharing your talents with us and our family on a night we won't soon forget!

I also wanted a good mix of neo soul, smooth jazz, 80s music, 90s music, hip-hop, R&B and house music. Plus, I wanted a DJ who was fun, had a great personality, and would keep the party going. DJ Dez had all that we were looking for! I was immediately impressed by his professionalism. He responded quickly to my email and he replied with enthusiasm.  Excellent customer service is big for me. We discussed what I was looking for and he immediately understood my vision. He even came to the wedding rehearsal to help us find everything. On our wedding day, he played the obscure songs that we requested. He played songs that kept the crowd engaged (that was not easy, considering our reception started at noon on a Sunday). He kept the reception on track by following our timeline. And he took requests! He even played one of my favorite songs from high school twice for me. DJ Dez is a joy to work with. If you're looking for that perfect DJ for your wedding, look no further than DJ Dez!!!!

    We had a fantastic experience with DJ Chicago and John for our wedding reception. We had spent a…read morelot of time developing and pruning our Spotify playlists ahead of the wedding, and John did a great job taking what we gave him and turning it into a mix that flowed perfectly throughout each phase of the reception. He was especially lively and energetic when announcing the entrance of our wedding party and really helped set the tone for the evening. Once the dancing started, John seemed to have a great feel for the room and knew exactly what songs would keep the dance floor packed and the energy up. He put together a great mix of upbeat dance songs and slower songs, and the music never seemed to lose momentum. One of the things we appreciated most was that it still felt like *our* music and our taste, just put together and managed far better than we ever could have done ourselves. Seeing so many of our guests out on the dance floor throughout the night was probably the best testament to how good a job John did. We couldn't have been happier with how the music and atmosphere came together!

We wanted to do a mix of traditional "classic" wedding songs people all know and love with our personal favorite genres (EDM, funk), and DJ Chicago surpassed our expectations in how well he got through our lengthy playlist and seamlessly blended all genres together with highs and lows that kept the party going all night long. We appreciated DJ Chicago's willingness to try something a little bit different, and received numerous compliments from our guests with how much fun they had on the dance floor / how much they enjoyed the music. Not to mention, DJ Chicago was always quick to respond, collaborative, and helpful. Cannot recommend Nick & DJ Chicago highly enough for weddings and other events!

In the months leading up to our wedding, Norah gave us access to a digital platform called Vibo DJ to add songs directly from Spotify/Apple Music, which made plugging in playlists a breeze. The platform also provided a loose timeline for the day/what song is played when, which was very helpful. The day of, Norah arrived on time and kept the good vibes going! She proactively managed the potential echo in our venue (which had vaulted ceilings). The photobooth was a hit with guests, Norah provided a backdrop, the camera, printed photo strips, as well as a guest book for guests to tape in photos/write notes. Norah's personality was what sold us. She was easy-going, kind, and so fun to talk to! She went above and beyond for us, even offering to mix a Father/Daughter dance mashup for us. We always looked forward to speaking with her throughout the planning process. If you are looking for a DJ for your event, Norah is your girl!

    We had an OK experience with Groove is in the Heart DJs for our wedding. The initial communication…read morewith our DJ was good. We made our own dance floor playlist and were expecting the DJ to play it all after they said it was great. But, the day of the wedding, the DJ told my husband they were having Wi-Fi issues and couldn't access the playlist. He didn't know why the songs on the playlist weren't downloaded by the DJ before the wedding in case there were Wi-Fi issues. Guests also requested songs multiple times and were told by the DJ that they couldn't be played due to the Wi-Fi issues. Then when I asked why our playlist wasn't played, I was told "You didn't say the playlist was a must play". I wish we were told by the DJ that we needed to say that the entire playlist was "must play" during the planning phase.The DJ also didn't read the room and hype up our guests to get on the dance floor until the last song, so it felt a little dead throughout the wedding. The guests that danced were OK with the playlist, thankfully, but the DJ experience was pretty disappointing overall. If we knew the DJ experience was going to be sub-par, we probably wouldn't have paid our venue's additional audio tie-in fee.

Cons: - Did not have some songs my guests requested that I gave permission for - Seemed like there was a slight disconnect between the flow of music and number of guests on the dance floor.

If you are having a large event for children, you should book Kevin as a DJ. He will make you look amazing.
