ROLLING SOUNDS provided DJ, photography and videography services for my son's wedding reception. ROLLING SOUNDS is your one-stop shop for all 3 services. From planning the music to the day-of details, it was effortless. A word not associated with planning a wedding reception. The reception was at Four Rivers in Channahon. It's an educational center, but the up lighting John placed around the room transformed it into a fun party setting. ROLLING SOUNDS will always be my choice for entertainment. You will regret not booking ROLLING SOUNDS for your event.

Pros: - Quick responses via email…read more - Got there early enough to have plenty of time to set up - Asked several questions to confirm everything was exactly as we wanted - Accommodated my request to announce the Cupid Shuffle as a song I wanted my husband on the dance floor for - Checked in with us throughout the evening to make sure we were happy with the order of the cake cutting, speeches, etc. - Would not play random songs that guests requested without my permission - Gave us a CD with our playlist (we didn't even ask for one!) 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. I wish he would have read the room a little better to keep people on the dance floor. There were a few occasions where the dance floor was completely empty.

A group I volunteer with booked Electric Blue for the Children's Book Fair in Hyde Park, and they…read morecould not have been better. They were easy to book, easy to work with, and did a phenomenal job day of. Kevin arrived early to set up, knew our schedule and fit his entertainment around our schedule, announced all events, got everyone situated during story readings, and kept the kids (and a lot of parents) entertained. Kevin was funny, had high energy, knew how to read the crowd, and had our kids and parents playing games and dancing all afternoon. If you are having a large event for children, you should book Kevin as a DJ. He will make you look amazing.

They were so easy to talk to, incredibly fun to be around, and easily managed to get everyone up and going on the dance floor. The music was superb to say the least.

Ultimate professional, incredible talent, and the most accommodating and overall the epitome of entertainer in the truest sense of the word!

Backthird Entertainment exceeded my expectations. I reached out to them about a year and a half…read morebefore my wedding. Stephen stayed in touch with me for that entire year and a half, checking in on the planning process and asking how he could help. He even met with me for coffee a few months before the wedding because he wanted to be sure that he understood our vision, music tastes, etc. The dance floor was full all night. So many people came up to me afterward and commented that they had never seen such a creative DJ - his transitions between songs were so fun, and he was flexible and knew how to keep the party going. He also provided all of the sound equipment for the entire day. We played a video during the reception, and even though he wasn't responsible for the equipment, he quickly jumped in when it looked like the sound wasn't working. Honestly, there is no reason to consider using any other DJ. Backthird is the best of the best!

I originally checked out some other DJ companies but, ultimately, wanted a DJ who would provide…read moregood MC services for my reception. I manage events for a living and knew that, if I didn't have someone to do that, I would spend the night worried about the agenda. Nobody needs that on their wedding day. I came across Backthird Entertainment and these guys have weddings down. I filled out an inquiry and Robbie, my account manager, contacted me right away to discuss the details. He had great ideas about the flow of the evening and, after our discussion, he paired us up with DJ Andrew. Their online portal was super easy to use and we had the opportunity to add in all of the special events we wanted during the evening. Andrew was great about helping us coordinate everything, especially since our reception ended up being a bit of a variety show. I appreciated that Andrew and his assistant, Scott, took care of all the details. They showed up early to set up, kept us on schedule throughout the evening, and made sure to play our "must play" songs and other requests at the times requested. Robbie even made sure to follow up with me at various times throughout the process to make sure everything was going well. These guys are great and really care about their customers. They helped make my big day worry free!

Awesome DJ and photobooth sets…read moretheir customers up with a web page where they can organize their songs (what they want played, not to be played, special songs and dedications, etc.) Randy made sure my husband and I were happy and comfortable throughout the whole process. He has everything set up in his studio so you can actually see what it will look and sound like on your wedding day. Randy is not your typical, douchey DJ. He is extremely down-to-earth and approachable. He was so respectful about the fact that it was our day. He even dressed in a nice suit. I'm so used to going to weddings where the DJ wears a self-promoting polo or t-shirt. So many of my guests commented on how great the music was after the wedding. I even had a few of my friends ask me about Randy because they are planning their wedding. Bottom line, the dance floor was pumpin. It was a great celebration, and I owe a lot of that to Randy. Nothing but great things to say... Obviously.

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.
