10/10 wedding day thanks to Jen and her team!!! Jen went ABOVE and beyond to help me on our wedding day when weather didn’t go as planned, running to her car to get me a curler, working with vendors to change plans, and helped to completely turn it around into the best day ever! Throughout the planning process she consistently impressed us with all the details she remembered from our meetings and was able to take care of everything so that I didn’t have to contact a single vendor all weekend bc Jen had it all handled and I could spend time with my friends and family. Highly highly recommend her!

The Dj Firm 
Rating: 5.0 (11 reviews)
Niles, IL
  • DJ
  • Starts at $3,000

Let me start out by saying that I love DJ Firm with all my heart and soul. I truly have a passion for this company and making every event special in its own way. I was influenced by DJ culture early and my dad gave me opportunities to mix records at the early age of 8. I played my first party when I was 13 at a middle school called Heaven in Evanston, IL. My goal, along with my values is to always ensure that The DJ Firm provides the best talent and service an entertainment company has to offer. We have a great group of individuals and I can wait for you to meet them and me. Let’s connect.

Working with The DJ Firm for our wedding was incredible. From the start, we were taken care of with top notch service from Ruben and Sarah. They kept everything moving and confirmed all the details leading up to the big day. For the wedding day, DJ Swiss Kid was AMAZING! He was very professional and read the room so well. We got so many compliments about our DJ from guests. We also loved being able to work with the DJ Firm for up-lights and photo booth (as a take home favor). A one stop shop for wedding entertainment! Highly recommend the DJ Firm!!

We are your dedicated selectors, vibe technicians, mood makers, event experts, all-service DJs. Let us help with your wedding, corporate event, birthday party, or your special event. We are ready to make sure your event is one to remember.

From our first interaction, the team at 45 RPM was quick, professional, approachable and accommodating. They made the planning process seamless by proactively contacting the venue, wedding planner & musicians and provided all mic’s & stands for the ceremony. They’re musicians themselves so they knew exactly how to manage the acoustics in a window/steel enclosed patio. They’re also familiar with both obscure and pop music so they knew exactly how match the vibe of my “eclectic middle-aged” guest list. They even arrived earlier than contracted per the wedding planner’s request. They went above and beyond! So grateful & Highly recommend!!!

We had Windy City Cookies make these beautiful cookies for a graduation party. They were the perfect graduation theme cookies , and I asked her to individually wrap them with for me. They were beautiful—everyone loved them! I heard from reliable sources that they tasted delicious, too. Sadly, I did not have any of the cookies for myself. Hopefully next time!

Working with Destify was a game-changer for our destination wedding.

Her recommendations led us to The Hard Rock Los Cabos, a stunning venue that exceeded our wildest expectations and gave our celebration the luxury backdrop we'd dreamed of.

George Street Photo & Video were an amazing company to work with for photographing my wedding!! Coordinator was very communicative and helpful for whatever I may need or want. Even went through what different packages include, what would most likely work best for what I’d like, and lists of photographer’s portfolios while also giving recommendations based on what I had described being desired styles I was looking for in photos. The price was budget friendly while also providing quality service. My photographer was Ron and he did a beautiful job for both the engagement shoot and wedding day shoot. He was very professional, kind, and flexible throughout both days as well as ensuring that my husband and I captured everything we wanted for our getting ready, first look, ceremony, cocktail hour, family, you name it!

We used Eivan's for both engagement photos and our wedding and couldn't be happier. They are wonderful about asking for your input and making sure you are truly happy with what you are getting. The photographers and videographers are the perfect mixture of professional and casual/friendly so that you are comfortable. We loved Rachael H for engagement photos, and Heather G (photo) and Dmytro L (video) for our wedding. They also actually care about you and the event itself, starting with asking you about your story. We got both a photographer, videographer, and engagement photos for a great bundle price, which was so helpful. Customer service is also fantastic about answering questions thoroughly and quickly. After booking and after the events, they send you information about what to expect, etc. I did quite a but of research into photography companies, and I would highly highly recommend Eivan's!

You're not just hiring a photographer—you're gaining a creative partner who’s with you from “yes” to “I do.” I’m Pedro, Creative Director of Albany Capture, and for over 12 years I’ve been documenting love stories through a style that blends photojournalism with fine art. Weddings are more than just events—they're a celebration of connection, and I’m passionate about preserving the real, fleeting moments that make your day unforgettable. To ensure we provide dedicated time and personalized recommendations for your wedding photography and videography needs, we now offer in-depth consultations for a nominal fee of $50.

Working with Pedro and his team at Albany Capture Film & Photography Studios was a game-changer for our wedding. From the moment we booked them for our engagement session and saw those photos, we knew we made the right choice. After the engagement session, we ended up hiring Pedro for all of our bridal events! The bridal shower, rehearsal dinner, and full 12-hour wedding day, we had Pedro and his team there for them all! Pedro and the entire team showed up ready to work hard and have fun—they were smiling the whole time, even after 12 hours on their feet. The second photographer was especially great at making my husband and his groomsmen feel at ease during their getting-ready photos. We also hired a videographer and content creator through Albany Capture and our experience with them was also great! We have not seen the video yet, but I was sent hundreds of little videos from the content creator just 2 days after the wedding along with 2 recap videos. If anyone is on the fence about hiring a content creator, just do it!!! Its the best way to see content quickly while you are still on the wedding high. We so enjoyed watching the videos while on our mini moon. What really impressed us was how quickly Pedro turned around a handful of sneak peek photos just days after the wedding, and they're absolutely stunning. Pedro was just really great throughout the entire process and I am so glad we hired him. We can't wait to see the rest of the photos and would definitely recommend them to any couple looking for photographers who are responsive, professional, and genuinely fun to be around.

Nicky Avalo Studios is AMAZING. DJ Redd kept the dance floor filled all night long. I was one of the crazy brides who had a veryyyyy long must play list and he did a great job at playing the songs that kept people singing & dancing. From the very start, it was such an easy process!! Nicky was so so helpful. I filled out the document and everything I asked for was done. Before the wedding, I had actual nightmares about who would DJ my wedding (no idea why… just mustve been what I was most nervous for?! LOL) and WOW those nightmares were all wrong. DJ Redd is the best & even joined us on the dance floor! Seriously I cant say enough good things. I told Nicky about the nightmares I had & he went above & beyond & showed up to our wedding to say hey which just made it even more special. THANK YOU Nicky Avalo Studios for being everything we asked for & more. Attached pics of me & then DJ Redd doing the splits LOL

Haylie and her team are absolutely incredible to work with. I very quickly got overwhelmed with wedding planning and needed some extra help. Haylie was patient with me as we had several consult calls before we officially booked. She immediately felt like a friend and someone I could trust. I am a type A person and felt nervous to not have total control over the wedding planning process or day. Haylie followed up on every detail, question, and thought. She never let any email or message go unanswered and was attentive to every detail. I felt very secure with her. She allowed me to relax and focus on the fun parts of wedding planning and she handled vendor coordination, logistics, and other things I never even thought of. She was always available and flexible during the planning process. The day of the wedding, everything was so smooth and there were no issues or hiccups. I fully credit Haylie and her team for the seamless day. She went above and beyond to make sure the day was perfect.

TWA Photographic Artists were straightforward and direct in their communication, and kept us on schedule throughout our wedding day. Their work was great, capturing many timeless and detailed shots. However, at times they seemed a bit hurried when working with our wedding party and guests, though they remained attentive and eager to get the right shots. For example, the photographer remembered the little details that made our photos special, but we felt a bit rushed after the ceremony and didn't fully capture the joy of those moments. Overall, TWA provided solid photography services, but could have been a bit more patient and attuned to our desired pace for the day.

Working with Hairs 2 the Bride, LTD was such a smooth experience from start to finish. Michael, the owner, answered every question we had quickly and made it easy to stay in touch throughout the planning process. I opted to go with the Gold Package and I was so glad I did - while it was a haul out to the suburbs from downtown, I was able to have a trial to test run my wedding "high pony" and learn a little bit more about what I wanted on my additional makeup day. I ended up using my additional service day to do my hair and makeup on the Friday before our wedding, when we were actually getting married in the church and having our rehearsal dinner and welcome party. My hair and makeup was on point the entire day. My Hollywood waves held up and my face kept strong throughout all of the events. On the day of our wedding, their work was outstanding—our hair and makeup looked flawless and held up perfectly through the whole celebration. Everyone on our bridal party felt confident and beautiful, which is exactly what you want when you're getting ready. We were thrilled with every detail of their service and would absolutely recommend them to any couple looking for talented professionals who actually care about making you feel your best. I chose Hairs 2 the Bride originally because their prices didn't make me want to have a heart attack (they felt reasonable and fair), and they were a Veteran-owned business (my now husband is a Vet). I was a little bit anxious because while all the reviews were great, I didn't necessarily see hair or makeup that was exactly what I wanted on their socials. Safe to say trust is key - I trusted in the reviews and they delivered. I was beyond happy with all of my services and the services for my girls, and I couldn't recommend Hairs 2 the Bride more! Attached pictures reflect my Friday Hollywood waves slick back, and my makeup being done on Saturday where the stylist cut my hair on site to make sure my face frames hit exactly where I wanted them to.

We had a BEAUTIFUL wedding at Silver Lake in early May 2026. When we toured the grounds a little over a year prior, in February 2025, we knew the same day that this would be our place. Not only is the setting beautiful, but we could tell from the beginning that our occasion mattered to Silver Lake staff. For something as meaningful as a wedding, you want to feel special. We felt supported and in good hands; that feeling was consistent throughout the planning process as I planned our wedding (without planner) and had many questions to ask Janene along the way. Amy was super hands-on for the day-of, making sure things went according to plan. She even made our rehearsal fun. Our guests all had a great time as well and have complimented us on the food service. I’d do it all over again, truly. Thank you Silver Lake!

We had our wedding at Moonflower, and it was amazing! We originally found Moonflower on Zola. Although we are from the area, we had never visited before, and the photos immediately caught our attention. The bar fit our vibe perfectly, and after visiting a few times, we knew it was the right place for us. We rented both spaces: the main bar upstairs and Nightshade, the speakeasy downstairs. Moonflower has a small stage in the main bar, which we used for our ceremony. The space already has so much character that it needed very little decorating. We brought small flower vases and an altar piece that the bride and her now mother in law made together. After the ceremony, we held cocktail hour and served food buffet style in the main bar. Later, everyone moved downstairs to Nightshade. Its lounge atmosphere and dance floor were perfect for our 50 to 60 guests. Some people relaxed around the cocktail tables while others danced, so everyone could enjoy the night in their own way. Moonflower’s event organizer, Morgan, was wonderful. She made the entire planning process feel easy and was a joy to work with. She helped turn our ideas into reality, assisting with day of logistics, décor, beverage packages, and every question that came up. She was always responsive and available. Morgan also helped us think through details that had not occurred to us, including coffee for our guests, explaining the parking situation, contacting nearby businesses about using their lots, and recommending DJs. We ultimately hired one of the DJs she suggested. Her extra support was incredibly helpful and took a great deal of stress out of planning. If you have not tried Moonflower’s drinks, you are missing out. Their regular cocktail menu is fantastic, and our experience was even more special because of a custom cocktail session with Zach. He created signature drink options for each of us based on our tastes and favorite cocktails. Every option was spectacular, and the final drinks felt personal and special. We chose Funeral Potatoes for the food. Since they already handle the food at Moonflower, we were able to try many dishes beforehand. Our guests raved about everything. We especially recommend the brussels sprouts, deviled eggs, and caprese sandwiches. Alexis, who heads up Funeral Potatoes, was also extremely helpful with selecting the menu. The only outside food we brought in was our wedding cake. The entire staff was phenomenal. Everyone treated the occasion with the perfect balance of care, professionalism, and fun. The night went off without a hitch and was truly one of the best nights of our lives. Moonflower was also extremely reasonable compared with other venues we considered in the city, especially with an open bar and food available on site. Street parking was plentiful, and none of our guests had trouble finding a spot. For anyone looking for a relaxed wedding for 50 to 60 people with a memorable lounge atmosphere, fantastic staff, buffet style food, and exceptional cocktails, Moonflower should be at the top of your list.

My husband and I will never stop recommending BW Studio Events!!!! Blair is an absolute pro! She has a fool-proof strategy for wedding planning, a wealth of wedding knowledge and connections with the highest quality vendors, and a stunning vision and ability to understand the vision of others! The peace of mind Blair's expertise and communication brought to our planning process was PRICELESS. We knew no detail would be missed, and we were confident that Blair could handle any challenge that might come our way, whether it was on the day of or during planning. Our wedding day was truly perfect, and the way the vision in my head came to life in our venue surpassed my expectations! Meanwhile, I had the most chill, beautiful morning getting ready for the wedding, and I have her assistant Elly to thank for it! She was absolutely spectacular. She was present every moment we needed her and blended into the background while sneakily helping, like steaming our dresses and setting up the gifts for my ladies without us even knowing. She was like our secret fairy godmother! And when I was getting ready to walk down the aisle and was feeling anxious, she was the most calm presence. She really helped me keep my composure. So so grateful for all she did for us! She made me feel so special :] Long story short, if you're wondering if hiring a wedding planner is worth it, I'm here to tell you THEY ARE WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY!!!

We are so grateful we had Grace from The Simply Elegant Group as our day of coordinator. From the month leading up to the wedding, she was incredibly helpful by taking charge of vendor correspondence. Their wedding workbook helped me stay in the know and organized. On the day of, Grace took charge by handling every detail behind the scenes so we could fully enjoy the moment. One detail included tying the groomsmen’s bowties herself! We couldn’t have done it without her. I highly recommended hiring this group!

We hired Maks and Gemma for our wedding 2 weeks ago and I couldn't have nicer things to say about them. Maks and Gemma came in and instantly clicked with our group from the beginning. They did an amazing job making our not so photogenic groom and groomsmen absolutely love taking photos on our day. They knew exactly what I had visioned for my wedding and they went absolutely above and beyond. If you are looking for photographers to get everyone energized and going Maks and Gemma are definitely your people! We will definitely be using them in the future for maternity, family, and whatever other photoshoots we can do with them. Sincerely a bride who read a million reviews on all my vendors and couldn't have been happier with all my choices. (It's still too soon for our professional photos back but here's some of Maks and Gemma doing their thing!)

Delcia is a magician when it comes to alterations. I brought a dress for a wedding a size up to fit my hips and with her fit skills and alterations knowledge, my dress gave me the look I wanted. The attire was black tie and she helped me nail it. This is the designer/seamstress I’ll always go to and she is now altering my wedding dress.
