They have a great website that allowed us to organize and manage our "must play", "do not play", and "other songs we like" lists. It allows you to attach notes to individual songs such as our first dance or father-daughter dance as well as listen to the entire song on the website. The night of, they kept the dance floor full the whole night. At one point they played a song that cleared the dance floor and let it play for about 2 minutes, then faded it out before it was over and got everyone back out there. The introductions made by Danny were flawless. He lined everyone up, then went to each couple, starting with our parents, and asked how they would like to be introduced and how to pronounce their names. They even played a few extra songs after midnight since the crowd didn't want to leave. Overall they did a wonderful job and we would recommend them for any event! Do yourself a favor and at least sit down with them before booking with anyone else.

They also say the DJ did an awesome job with the music selection and I have to agree. EVERYONE was on the dance floor for four straight hours - parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles included. Matt did a great job working with my husband and I on what type of music we wanted to hear during each section of the reception - cocktail hour, intros, dinner, etc. He also worked with us on short notice. I planned my wedding mostly from LA and only was able to meet with Matt weeks before the wedding. He was super flexible and made sure everything was covered. A true lifesaver for a bride that has a million and one things to do. He also was a great announcer for our "starting line-up." Matt announced our bridesmaid and groomsmen like the Chicago Bulls. Matt was a true pleasure to work with and I highly recommend him to everyone. Thanks again, Matt!

He also made sure I knew how to work Zoom or if I needed any help. He kept us dancing and it felt like a party being all together with my friends and family. The flow of music and selection of songs was great. He interacted with the crowd, especially those who had their cameras on. He didn't talk too much and let the music move us. The transition of songs was great as well. Never was a dead moment as he switched songs. Definitely one of my top DJ's. You will not be disappointed.

He really listened to what WE wanted and helped guide us in planning the event. He offered many suggestions which were perfect. At the reception, he took control and made the reception unbelievable. It was exactly, what we wanted!!! Everyone had a great time. He related well with all our guests, and he kept the reception moving. We did not need to do anything! We were able to really enjoy the reception. We received a lot of compliments, regarding John. Even, 1 month after the reception, a neighbor, who was not at the reception, told us they heard from others, that it was one of the best receptions, they had ever been to. This was due to John!!!!!! If you want the perfect reception, we suggest you call John, the DJ with Aurora Pro DJs.

Frank Andonoplas, of Frank Event Design, is a wedding planner extraordinaire. Two weeks from our…read moredaughter's wedding day, we had to replace our wedding planner who was holy unprofessional and provided us with little assurance that the wedding would be all we had hoped and planned it to be. Frank came highly recommended and the stars were aligned that he was available. He immediately took the reins and began reviewing all of the vendor contracts, reworked the poorly designed day of timeline, coordinating with the venue, meeting with our daughter and future son in law, and making himself available to us via email, text, or phone everyday. He is a dedicated professional who takes pride in giving each couple the day they dreamed of. The wedding day was seamless. Frank was on site handling the reception space, the flower delivery, band/ staging, all while checking on the bridal party throughout the day. The outdoor ceremony started on time and flowed right into the cocktail hour. The room reveal for the reception was a wow. As we partied and were fully immersed in the celebration, Frank was behind the scenes collecting gifts, gathering personal items to place securely in the bridal suite, and handled gratuities so we could stay in the moment. We would enthusiastically recommend Frank for your special day... he will exceed your expectations. Susan and David V. Pomeranz

I just had Frank do my Star Wars themed wedding. It was perfect…read more Anyone who wants to work with the best of the best, should seek Frank out, because I could not imagine my wedding having been anywhere near as fantastic as it was without his help. My then fiancee, now wife, and I were both attending graduate school while planning our wedding. She was finishing up her JD in Baltimore while I was completing a MA in Seattle while planning our wedding at the Morton Arboretum in Northern Illinois. We did all the initial planning with Frank over the phone. He started by setting up a time for us all to talk so that he could get to know us, understand our vision, and provide some initial suggestions to set us on the right path. He made the entire process extremely easy so that we were able to just review our e-mails at the end of the week, choose from the pre-vetted options that he gave us, and then let him take care of the details. I was perhaps more of a "Groom-zilla" than my wife was in terms of being very detail-oriented. The day of the wedding there seemed to be a million small things that could have gone wrong, and Frank was somehow on top of all of them. The people at the venue had originally set up the tables in a mirrored version of how they were supposed to be, and Frank was able to get it all fixed during cocktail hour without our guests being any the wiser. Our cake vendor had also made a mistake, changing the iconic "I love you." "I know." from Star Wars to "I love you and I know you." Which is not the same at all, and sounds... odd. Frank hand-scraped the offending words from the cake and then covered it up artistically with flowers that he had on hand. No one even knew there was a mistake. He also found some one to make me an Ewok groom's cake. The one review on this page who accuses Frank of being a snob certainly does not know what she is talking about. Frank was genuinely one of the most caring, earnest and hardworking people I've ever had the pleasure to work with. He cares a great deal about delivering only the best to his clients, and he is upfront with you about whether or not your style and his will combine. If you are a match, you are in for a real treat working with this man. He and his team are simply the best.

One week before the wedding we had a consultation with the DJ and they did everything we asked them to. Everyone at our wedding was on the dance floor. Dj Payito and MC Adolfo Lopez understood how I wanted my reception to sound. The DJ was mindful to play all the music the we wanted it and it was so proffesional. Our family and all our guest enjoyed themselves and they can't stop talking about what a great time they had!

I'm disappointed that,after paying for this service a year in advance, Diversion Total failed to…read moredeliver. I couldn't get in contact with the Dj (despite multiple attempts) doing my wedding until the week of the event, and that's because i kept calling them over and over and over. Not professional at all! I arrived at the hall only to have the Dj on site inform me that Edgar didn't send the MC for all the announcements, claiming it wasn't in the contract. It's clearly in black and white on the contract. To his credit, Louie stepped up and attempted to fill in, but ended up introducing my husband and I by the wrong name, amongst other gaffes. Things like this shouldn't happen on anyone's wedding day, especially when this is all they (Diversion Total) do. I would never do business with them, and can not recommend. A wedding is a very special day and shouldn't be ruined by a a business that will aggressively pursue you to make your payment in full, but doesn't care enough to fulfill their contractual obligations. There are plenty of DJs in the Chicagoland area...look elsewhere

It was a unique experience, as I'd never been to an Indian wedding reception that was held at a rooftop bar during the daytime, and AShah nailed it. A little help from the open bar and phenomenal music. He obviously let the couple request certain songs at certain times (I'm assuming that playing Bedrock as all the friends and parents posed for a group picture was not his idea). So it's nice to know that he has no problem playing requests from the couple...even unconventional ones. When the dancefloor opened up, the dancing didn't stop until the event was over. And that's a pretty impressive feat considering the heat and straight on sun beating down on us. The DJ kept everyone on the floor...er...roof, playing a perfect balance of Indian songs, American songs, 80s classics including Journey, and everything in between that was all perfect for a rooftop dance party in the middle of the day. I'd recommend AShah for any DJ event if you're looking for a Indo-American blend.

He was great about corresponding with me. As a bride this is one of the top qualities I looked for in my vendors, because if they weren't great at responding to be how could I guarantee that they would be on time the day of the wedding when I couldn't micro manage things. Anyways Ankit arrived early to set up, his staff was delightful, and my guests had a great time. It was well worth the price I paid, and Ankit was cost considerably less than other vendors. I would highly recommend him and will change this to 5 stars as soon as I get the copy of the pictures. ( my wedding was last week) Ankit sent me the pictures and they came out fabulous! I would highly recommend him for anyone's wedding or other event
