“If you're looking for a DJ who goes above and beyond, Mike is your guy. From start to finish, he was the definition of professional. Responsive, organized, and genuinely invested in making the day perfect. Communication was excellent throughout the entire planning process. Mike made sure to walk through the venue with us ahead of time so that every logistical detail was locked in well before the big day. He handled all the traditional wedding DJ responsibilities flawlessly, but he also embraced our more unique requests without hesitation. We asked him to play video game lo-fi music during cocktail hour and dinner, and he absolutely nailed it. We're also huge fans of metal and rock, and we were initially worried that might not translate well to a wedding dance floor. He was able to mix those songs in live and keep the energy high all night. It turned out to be one of our favorite parts of the reception, and honestly something we weren't sure we'd get to experience. On top of everything else, our guests couldn't stop complimenting his work. He kept the floor packed and the vibe exactly right from beginning to end. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out, and we recommend Mike without reservation.”

Robyn Vitson Music

Downers Grove, IL
  • Solo performer

I found my passion for music at a young age and knew that I was going to make a living doing it someday! I LOVE pleasing people with my piano playing &/or vocal skills and making their day special with the music that I provide and I also perform with a string trio or quartet and a jazz trio or quartet. I collaborate with the couple to find just the right pieces/songs for their special day!

Awarded Best of Zola
“We hired Robyn to perform at our wedding ceremony, and it was one of the best decisions we made! From the moment the first note played, it was clear we were in the hands of a true professional. She brought such elegance and emotion to the day – every piece was beautifully performed, perfectly timed, and added so much warmth to our ceremony. Robyn spent countless hours with us ahead of time to accommodate all of our music preferences with care and professionalism. She even traveled from out of town to be there for both our rehearsal and ceremony, which meant the world to us. Although we had some “not your norm” song choices, she took the time to learn new pieces just for our wedding. This made the experience feel even more personal. All of our guests commented on how moving and memorable the music was! If you’re looking for someone who is talented, reliable, and an absolute pleasure to work with, we can’t recommend Robyn enough. Thank you for making our big day even more magical!”

Their approach is collaborative and dynamic, drawing from a wide range of influences to shape each performance. Whether reworking familiar songs or building a set that flows naturally, Royal Pop focuses on connection, musicality, and bringing an easy, feel-good energy to every stage.

“We hired Royal Pop Band for our wedding and they absolutely knocked it out of the park. From our first conversation, the team was prompt and thoughtful in answering all our questions, making us feel heard and supported throughout the planning process. On the day of the wedding, they showed up with top-notch equipment and superior musicians who played with precision and energy. The vocalist's voice was exceptional and really brought the songs to life in a way that had our guests talking about it all night. What impressed us most was how engaged they were with our guests while still making sure my husband and I felt honored and celebrated—they read the room perfectly and kept the energy exactly where we wanted it. Our guests left raving about the band and saying it was one of the best parts of the night, and we couldn't agree more.”

“From start to finish, Buena Beats DJ & Wedding Planning nailed our vision with clear communication and a work ethic that really stood out. Jorge and Stephanie kept everyone dancing all night! Seriously, nobody wanted to leave the floor or leave for the night. They made sure our program ran seamlessly without us having to stress about a thing. They checked in with us multiple times throughout the day and even gave us solid recommendations on lighting colors that worked perfectly with our venue. The playlist was awesome, and they collaborated so well with all our vendors and our planner that everything just clicked. We had so much fun and had the best time of our lives! The photobooth was a pleasant addition to everything else and we got a keepsake of all the photos both physical and digital copy. We're definitely hiring them again for any future events and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a DJ that actually cares about making your day special.”
