We had the BEST time with Steve as our DJ!!!! We hosted a birthday extravaganza for my Mom, at Oakbrook Drury Lane, in the Crystal Room, and about 135 people attended! From the very beginning, Steve was full of energy...he was so much fun, and he completely brought the party to life! He has the kind of personality that lights up a room...so lively and kind and he was 100% in sync with everything that we were doing! Steve worked with us every step of the way! He was patient, upbeat, and honestly just a joy to have there! He kept the guests engaged, got people dancing, and was clearly loving what he does, and it showed in every move that he made! And here's something I really appreciated... he actually told me, "If anyone gives you trouble, I'll take care of it!" Now THAT'S a DJ who's got your back!!! He was supportive, polite, and just the perfect presence throughout the event! He brought in extra lighting to really make the room sparkle, and he gave me a hands-free microphone which was a lifesaver since I was giving the welcome speech and needed my hands free to hold onto the papers that I was reading from! His assistant was also very sweet, and she was right there to help Steve from the beginning to the end of the evening! We're so grateful to have had Steve as part of my Mom's birthday celebration and it wouldn't have been the same without him! I HIGHLY recommend Steve for your next event! After all, music is EVERYTHING at your party! You need someone who's a pro... someone who can keep the energy going... someone who has a personality and who speaks well...someone who can make your event come alive!!! You need STEVE!!! He'll give you confidence and one less BIG thing to worry about! And he is just a "hell of a...." nice guy!!! Infinite thanks, Steve!!!! Lenore, Bob and Emily, too!!! read more

DJ Johnny performed in excellent fashion for our May 2019 wedding. He is a true pro. From start to finish, Johnny was responsive, attentive and worked well with a musician we hired to play guitar for the ceremony. Our guests all had very positive feedback about the music selections and general flow of the event. Thanks, Johnny - we really appreciate the your keeping our party going! read more

Hiring a DJ is one of the most important decisions for your wedding, as a good DJ can really make the evening extra special. With that said, I am so, so happy we hired Jacob! Jacob is incredibly organized with great attention to detail. He essentially acted as our wedding coordinator as well as our DJ. He made sure everyone was in the right place for events, such as entrances, cake cutting, bouquet toss and etc. He even brought his teammate with him to ensure everything went smoothly. Additionally, his equipment is awesome! His speakers filled the room evenly with sound, but it never got too loud. His lighting also looked great, as well as the custom gobo light he helped us make for the dance floor. We knew the DJ we would hire would have a tough job, as we had a diverse group of guests with very diverse music tastes at our wedding. We had my husband's family who is Indian and loves Indian music; then we had my family/family friends who loves classic wedding music/oldies (Ted Nugent was at the top of my dad's requests), and then we had our friends who like Top 40. Making this all flow together into one cohesive night was no easy task, but Jacob pulled it off! Our dance floor was full all night, and our guests are still talking about how fun our wedding was! read more

Johnny was professional and was amazing! the dance floor was full all night long. He also has an amazing announcer voice! I would highly recommend this service for a fun and active dance floor! read more

Our son's wedding was December 30, 2018 and we had an excellent night of fantastic music! Everyone was out on the dance floor having fun throughout the whole night! It was an enjoyable evening and the wedding guests spent every moment dancing! Awesome sound system! We attribute the good fun to a fantastic DJ! Great job and would definitely hire them again! read more

I HIGHLY recommend Johnny from Dependable wedding DJs! First off, he is extremely dependable, communicative, patient, and funny! Our dance floor was packed and everyone said it was the most fun wedding they've ever been to. Thank you so much to Johnny and Dependable DJ's for helping contribute to the most PERFECT day!!!! read more

Jacob was an amazing DJ and MC. He met with us as many times as we wanted before the wedding and he answers emails immediately. He has a great website where you can plan out your entire wedding. He even has great suggestions and ideas. During the wedding, he checked in with us several times to make sure everything was alright. He was definitely on our schedule and was willing to be flexible. I felt like I didn't have to worry about anything during the reception because he was on top of all of it. I loved how the he listened to what kind of music we wanted, but also read his audience. Dependable Djs is very reasonably priced and does an amazing job! read more

We hired Jacob from Dependable Weddings to do our uplighting at our wedding. Dependable DJs is very reasonable and the uplighting was amazing! I love how they have so many color options and are so flexible. We really wanted uplighting at our wedding but other companies weren't as flexible, offered more what we were looking for, and were very expensive. Just when were were about to give up on uplighting, we found Dependable Wedding Djs and they are just that, dependable! read more

Jacob and Johnny are the best! My husband and I were nervous about the music because we had been to weddings where they played songs from the "do not play list" and the dance floor was empty- but Jacob and Johnny exceeded our expectations. The portal to choose songs was super easy to use, they responded very quickly to all our questions and more than happy to jump on a call whenever we needed. The day of our wedding they showed up early, played the music we requested and none of the "do not plays" and had the dance floor packed all night. I did not have to worry about a thing with them, they kept the reception moving along exactly according to plan. They are the best and we HIGHLY recommend them!! read more

100% pleased with our DJ, Jacob, at our wedding. He was absolutely perfect, and was great in the time leading up to the wedding as well. He made time to meet with us and really took our suggestions/requests seriously. He also gave us advice when we asked him for it - clearly he's been to a wedding or two! We also had a Photo Booth through them as well, and our wedding guests had a blast! We have a great coffee table book now, with a ton of ridiculous pictures in it. Overall - I would HIGHLY recommend Dependable Wedding DJs! read more

We were so happy we hired Johnny as our wedding dj! He took care of so many things to help the night go smoothly so we could just enjoy the party! He was great coordinating all of us as we were walking in and making sure he knew where all the important people were seated. (Grandma, parents, godparents, etc.) He was great adapting to a few changes that came up throughout the night, the person giving the blessing had to leave early, an extra parent ended up wanting to give a toast, and our cousins surprised us with a personalized cover song. My husband and I both had mild panics when we realized something unplanned was happening but Johnny took everything in stride which helped us calm down. He even played an encore last song when our guests refused to leave at the end of the night. Overall the song selection was perfect and Johnny has a great energy. Many of our guests came up to us throughout the night saying how much they loved our dj. We had previously told him one of our main concerns was keeping it family friendly as we had many kids at our reception (big families) and he did an awesome job while still keeping the music selection fun. We easily always had 50 plus people on the dance floor all night. I have nothing but compliments for Johnny and would happily recommend him to any future brides and grooms. read more

I had been to several wedding expos and had accumulated more information on DJs than I knew what to do with. There were so many that seemed very personable and fun, but then after reviewing their prices, they were way outside our budget. My husband found Dependable Wedding DJs through a bunch of raving reviews. We met with Jacob soon after and thought he was great. He was so friendly and willing to work with whatever we wanted AND without breaking the bank. He was willing to personalize our DJ experience to our exact tastes rather than just using an already made playlist. My husband and I had an outdoor wedding and asked if he could help with the sound for that as well. Since there had never been a wedding at that location before, Jacob wanted to make sure everything would be perfect (to make sure we could get power out that far away from a building and to make sure the sound was good). Weeks before the wedding, he drove two hours to our site just to make sure we wouldn't have any problems. He set up his equipment to do some sound checks and allowed us to walk through the ceremony to time out the processional songs like I wanted. He also came to check out the reception site to make sure to bring enough equipment. I don't believe most DJs would take time out of schedules to go above and beyond like Jacob did. It was so nice to have piece of mind on the day of the wedding that there would be no problems. Dependable wedding DJs also has a great client portal set up on the website that allows you to add songs you want, songs you don't want, confirm all the important songs (first dance, bridal party entrance, bouquet toss, etc). I had every intention of using this to set up an entire playlist of exactly what we wanted for the reception, however, it kept getting pushed down on my to do list and I never had time before the wedding. Even though I didn't use it, they really couldn't make it easier to get exactly what you want out of your DJ experience. Even without having all my "absolutely play" and "do not play" songs selected, Jacob did a great job and I would definitely hire him again. read more

Our wedding was September 29, 2018 and we hired Steve to be our DJ for our wedding. I was highly disappointed. He was very unorganized. I called him multiple times before our wedding. Heard nothing from him until a day before the wedding. We briefly went over want kind of music we wanted for the wedding and how we wanted to set up our grand entrance. Let me just say that he skipped over serval people in our bridal party after we discussed the order in which they were suppose to come in. He didn't apologize about messing up. Then during cocktail hour he blasted the music in which our guests couldn't hear each other at the table. We told him to lower down the music (he did for ONE song) and then music blasted again when another song came on. And he just sat at the table eating instead on making sure to have the music lowered during cocktail hour. I had to remind him that it was time for the bouquet and garter tossing. It's like I had to tell him to do his job. We also rented a photo booth from dependable Djs as well. The guy in charge with the photo booth was just unprofessional. After he was done, he broke down everything at 1:30am. By 2am, I see him walking around with a drink in his hand. He then took about 5 of our party favors off the table along with a tray of desserts to go. Just unbelievable! I would not recommend dependable djs at all. read more

Jacob was the DJ at my wedding this weekend and it was amazing. He is very personable, and "dependable" lol. He was great dealing with my input on how we wanted the night to go. Along with the great music, he was helpful in making the wedding go as planned and i couldnt have asked for a better D.J. read more

I was referred to Jacob by my friend who hired him for her wedding, and right away, I felt really comfortable hiring him for my wedding. We can't thank Jacob enough for being an awesome DJ. His music list is endless, his personality is outgoing and wonderful, his response time to emails is incredible, and his attention to detail is awesome. We highly recommend Jacob for anyone looking for an awesome DJ for their wedding! read more
