We used Windy City Hit Man for our wedding last June and it was a FANTASTIC experience. We are so…read moreincredibly glad we did it and cannot recommend them enough. We were blown away by their presentation. We had interviewed a couple other DJ groups and were unimpressed by their lack of enthusiasm about working on our wedding. As soon as we walked in the door at Windy City we felt welcomed and that we had found what we were looking for. They have a demonstration set up so you can actually see what the lights will look like on your wedding day so you're not picking randomly through a package you can only visualize through description. They are also willing to crank up their sound system and show you their computers just to help you understand how it all works. He also said we could request any song and as long as it was available on iTunes, he would have it for us, with no additional charge. My (then fiance) husband was SOLD. I was contacted by the DJ we were going to be working with about two weeks before our wedding. He asked me if I had any specific requests. I did. About a week before the wedding I emailed him a specific list of songs I needed played during dinner and then a couple requests (as well as a couple of "if you play these songs, I'll shoot you" songs) for dancing. On the day of, I didn't even need to talk to the DJ once. While some people would think that is a bad thing, I thought it was excellent. The last thing you need on your wedding day is to have to worry about details and our DJ was set up and ready to go as soon as we needed him. If I ever need a DJ, I'll be using Windy City again!

These guys are simply THE BEST!…read more From the moment we met with them until the end of our event, these guys exhibited topnotch professionalism, courtesy, and hospitality. They have a MASSIVE library of music from the 1920's until Today. Big Band, Jazz, Country (classic and pop), Top 40, R&B, Rap, Soul, Classic Rock, Glam Rock, Roots... you name it, they've got it. What's even better is that if (miraculously) they don't have something, they'll get it at no cost to you!! They have a few packages to choose including simple setups for just music to large setups including various light machines and other fun things. They have an on line area where you can setup play lists of specific songs or just genre's. Or you can simply just tell them what NOT to play. You can customize any part of the experience including how involved the DJ will be with your event. Anything from "just play the music" to "get the party started!!" They'll do whatever it takes to make sure that you and, more importantly, your guests have a great time. We hired them for our wedding this past June at Brookfield Zoo. They arrived on time and setup without any interference from us. They stuck to our play list and took some requests from our guests while being respectful of our "no play" list. The DJ took care of all announcements and was articulate and friendly. To be honest, I don't remember seeing the DJ that much even though we were dancing a good part of the night. That is the sign of a good DJ. You only remember the bad ones, right? Big or small... these are the guys you want spinning at your party. They are ultimate professionals and know their stuff. There's a reason they are #1 in Chicago for weddings; book'em and find out for yourself! The Windy City Hitman are a hit!

I could not imagine a better DJ for our wedding and feel very blessed to have worked so smoothly with Tom!

I knew from the start it was going to be a great experience based on his interactions with the couple. He was friendly, polite, and thorough and very clearly experienced. The day of the wedding, he showed up with plenty of time to set up and came equipped with some really cool equipment and lights. He had a great personality without being one of those DJs who tries too hard or makes it about himself. He was really great at picking up on the crowd's vibes and adjusting his playlist accordingly. He went above and beyond at every turn to really breathe life into the party. You can tell he loves what he does because of how engaged he is in his work at all times. A great experience overall.

Everyone else was way overpriced and you got some lame guy in a tuxedo playing the chicken dance. He was recommended by a friend of ours and we could not have been happier. Not only was he able to commute for our big day but he was in constant contact about our playlist, must haves, no ways, and what our ideal musical atmosphere would be for the reception. Timmy was able to seamlessly transition from oldies, r&b, indie rock, hip hop, 80's & 90's, and timeless classics pleasing every musical taste and age group. I am actually going to a friend's wedding he is DJ'ing this weekend and can not wait! I would recommend him for any occasion.

If you need a DJ and you're in the Chicagoland area, look no further. If there's a better DJ…read morecompany out there, I'd love to know what more they could possibly do than O'Dea did for us on our wedding day. Here's our story. We planned our wedding out to great detail early on. Early on we decided that we didn't want a DJ; we had both been to weddings that had DJ's that turned the wedding into a 4 hour advertisement for their company. I had all of the music on my iSomething and the hall was able to accommodate us just plugging in our music and hitting play. 3 weeks before the wedding my lovely fiance' sprung the change on me; she thought a DJ would be a good idea. After my initial shock and protest, as well as her saying she had a friend of a friend that knew someone that had worked with a guy that knew this DJ company (OK, it wasn't exactly like that but they were referred to us)... I said OK and called them up. After a brief round of phone-tag, Clara and I got in touch. We talked through the date, the times, and what we wanted for the wedding. I was initially apprehensive because I had 50+ songs already picked out that we HAD to have at the wedding and she said that we needed to pick 5 "must have" songs. As leery as I was, we agreed to have her DJ (Ed) meet with us. Two days later (we talked on a Saturday, met Ed on Monday), Ed drove out from the city to our home in the 'burbs to meet with us. From minute one we were comfortable with Ed. Him and his fellow DJ (I think his brother) are the primary guys doing the gigs and they pick who does what based on Clara's phone screening (they tailor the DJ to the type of party/people involved). Ed is a Chicago native with a cool demeanor and he can handle anything you throw at him. We talked through our concerns about advertising, the song list, and what we needed to have played, and at every turn, he was cool with it all. Ed reviewed our song list and made some recommendations that were absolutely spot on; some songs that you and I may THINK are great to dance to... aren't. Some that we might think won't work in a dance... will. I gave Ed some creative license; songs I had planned for the dinner he moved to the dance time. Some that I thought would work for dancing he moved to cocktail hour. It didn't matter. I gave him a list of 50+ songs that we needed to have played. At the end of the night he came to me all excited that he got them all in except one, which was amazing; it was an eclectic mix! More than just playing the songs, there were, as there are with any wedding, changes to the schedule. We pulled dinner forward in time, we extended the dancing, we changed up the order of the special dances and the cake-cutting. Ed rolled with it all. We had a child-meltdown because he missed HIS song. Ed played a 1-minute snipit of it to avoid a very important child to us from focusing on missing his favorite song. After the wedding, everyone that we've talked to has said that everything went well but everyone that really knows the behind the scenes parts has said that the DJ was particularly outstanding. Ed did our wedding proud. His whole DJ booth was set up in the corner, with discrete black scrims shielding the lights from his laptop, the mixing board, and the whole setup was as unobtrusive as I've ever seen. At the same time, the music was loud enough to keep the dance floor going but not so loud that it drowned out conversations off of the dance floor. At the end of the day, could we have saved money with an MP3 player and an audio cable? Yes. Would that have caused MORE stress, probably caused some mis-timed music, some long pauses, and made us unable to change up the order of the songs based on the dynamic nature of events like weddings? Yes. Was O'Dea Entertainment a good choice for our wedding? Yes, Yes, a thousand times Yes. Thank you Ed and Clara for making our wedding sound amazing.

DJ Bonsu is excellent in every aspect of service he provides. His professionalism and attention to…read moredetail makes him incredibly refreshing to work with. We worked with DJ Bonsu for both events of our wedding weekend: Our traditional engagement ceremony and the regular wedding reception which occurred the next day. Both events had roughly 350 people in attendance. Multiple generations, cultures and ethnicities were represented. DJ Bonsu more than delivered the entire weekend! By the end of the night of the first event, the excitement of our guests were heightened! The next day, he exceeded everyone's expectations! The only people sitting down were those whose bodies were exhausted from tearing up the dance floor! Artistically, he is amazing! He was very in tuned with the crowd and moved them perfectly! Don't just take our word for it, here is some of the feedback from our guests: "You did your thing last night doc... I never dance at wedding receptions... NEVER!" -Alex "On point!" - Andy "Had a BLAST! Thank you!" - Daniel "Real talk man, I'm crashing all the weddings you're at!" - Kelly "He was awesome! Great music, great style! Loved it!" - Kisha "He was dope. I would recommend him any day!" - Moe "DJ Bonsu was wonderful the whole weekend."- Joy "He was the bomb! Good mix of the things that everyone wanted to hear. I want to throw a party for no other reason but to hire him to DJ!"- Ava "DJ Bonsu, my own countryman! Dude killed it, really turned it up and kept it all night. He read and moved the crowd right all night." - Jonathan "I'm hiring that guy for my wedding." - Jamie "I want a playlist of the entire wedding so that I can play it in my office." - Anne We were asked to do the whole thing again next year! While that will not be happening- if it did happen- I'd only set the date to the availability of DJ Bonsu. Because he's the only DJ I would hire!

He made a point to get to know us before hand and I think that is what made it feel so personalized. I highly recommend without hesitation.
