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.

We had a great experience with Spinnin' Discs…read more First of all, Ron is a very friendly guy and working with him and his team was very smooth. We were able to ask him questions and worked out some ideas we would like to try with the DJ. Our DJ was Terry. He did a wonderful job keeping things moving along and also worked with us on doing Karaoke for the reception. We were kind of worried on how it would work but he did a great job with making sure the party kept going. Also, communication with DJ Terry was fantastic. Our schedule was slightly chaotic due to the wedding party getting pictures where he came out and introduced himself without having us to find him. From there, he seem to work with the staff at our venue and the wedding party when we had to take impromptu group photos. I would recommend using Spinnin' Disc if you have any special events going on. We had a wonderful wedding and things seem to move smoothly with great music and fun.

We couldn't have been happier with Spinnin' Discs! They DJ'd our wedding in Chicago last month…read more Starting with the intro call with Ron, they were super friendly and easy to work with. They had helpful organizational tools leading up to the event that kept us on track with which songs we needed and gave us an easy place to log them. We had a prep call with our DJ, Chris, who asked us questions about our musical taste, level of DJ interaction we wanted at the wedding, etc. And on the day-of, he delivered: the dance floor was packed and everyone had a fantastic time. My biggest fear in hiring a DJ is that they would be cheesy, or not be able to read the room, and Chris was neither of those things. He knew his stuff and what we wanted, and was a valuable addition to our day. I would highly recommend Spinnin' Discs (and Chris in particular!) to anyone planning a wedding!

We were like many couples, being impacted by the pandemic and needing to reschedule... three times. MaryMonica was our point of contact as we ventured through the unknown territory of planning a wedding through COVID. She truly is committed to making sure her clients are able to have the day they envision for entertainment! I can't express my gratitude to how kind and flexible she was as we changed dates quickly and made sure we got our favorite DJ Chris to be part of this big day! We hope one day we can meet in person to truly express our gratitude. Our DJ was Chris! He met in person as well as had a conference call to get to know me and my fiancé as a couple as well as understand what sort of vibe we wanted for the evening. We really appreciated the random texts we would send in the off-work hours, in the evenings or on the weekends, where we never felt like a bother. Rather, you could feel DJ Chris' enthusiasm and excitement to work with us and provide us with his expert feedback! Through the evening, I would often use his DJ booth as a place to catch a breath and regroup :)he is a calming presence in a very whirl-winded day! I would wholeheartedly recommend DJ Chris. You will not regret having him be part of your wedding dream team!

He listened to all of our requests, played all the right parts of the songs, and his transitions were excellent. Our number one goal was for everyone to be out on the dance floor all night, and with DJ Chris spinning, our guests never left the dance floor. We recently attended another wedding of a couple who also used DJ Chris. He once again did not disappoint! Transitions were spot on and the dance floor was super fun. We would recommend DJ Chris to anybody who is planning a wedding and wants to make sure the dance floor is packed all night! Thanks Chris for making our day so special and fun!

Let me start by this, don't judge a book by its cover. We contacted DJ Lopez about two months…read morebefore our daughter's Quinceañera this past weekend. He was direct, communicated immediately with all the details and requirements. He was patient and understanding with all of our requests. The DJ was to start playing at 7:30 pm and they were at the event hall before 5 pm setting up. I was nervous and stressed but every time I spoke with DJ Lopez he calmed me down and reassured me that everything was goingo be perfect and indeed it was. There was a Bobblehead of Bad Bunny that came out and livened the party up. The cold sparkles gave it an amazing touch. Being all over the place I wasn't able to get the slide show photos to him until 2 days before and without any hiccups, the slideshow was perfect and made every smile, laugh and cry. I have to say that the kids' dances went on without a glitch and the dancefloor didn't stop nor empty for single second all night. DJ Lopez I read the other reviews, I was hesitant but I have to tell you that you knocked it out of the park, with EVERYTHING. We will see you again in 2 years for the next and final 15era. You are a true professional and we owe you so much of our happiness and satisfaction for our special night.

Dj Lopez was recommend by the banquet I booked my daughters Quinceanera. A friend had also seen him…read morepreform at a local bar and was happy with his performance. I spoke to junior Lopez 4 times before signing my contract in person, and also other companies. Being that he came recommended by the banquet I picked him. 6 months prior to my daughters BIG party, we met and signed the contract and I paid him half of what the total would be. Party was on February 9th 2019. He told me he would want about 100 photos for my daughters slide show, schedule, song recommendations etc. 1-2 months before the party. He never checked in with me, which was the first sign of a disaster. I was the one that contacted him a month prior to party, asking if I can pay him the remaining money due and if we could talk about the photos, schedule etc. . It took him several days to get back to me. When he got back to me(3 1/2 WEEKS BEFORE THE PARTY) he said he miss looked and already had another party for that day and had to cancel my daughters party of 200 people. I asked him how this was possible being that there is sooo many ways to document a costumers deal such as a paper calendar, phone calendar, business documents etc. He gave me an excuse of not seeing the paper contract of the booked event. I guess he only goes by the sheet of contract with is obviously a lie. I get it, he probably got a better deal at the restaurants or club he Dj's at. I was obviously already upset with him but I was more upset that he NEVER apologized. He just spoke in a Boring tone voice and pretty much had a "it is what it is" attitude. A more professional, business owner phone call should have gone something like this... "I am so embarrassed and sorry this happened but guess what, I spoke to another dj that is similar to me and I would love for you to see his Facebook page , you will love him, and I want you to meet him ASAP if possible" He never apologized and is a horrible business owner! Good lucky if you have him booked. He does dj on Friday and Saturday at local bar and restaurants in which is where he was on the day he said he got over booked.

Jorge did an amazing job of reading the crowd and catering the playlist to that which our guests were positively responding. He brought great energy to the party. He was punctual, professional, and fairly priced. I would certainly recommend him and hire him again.

Carey was easy to plan with, and for the event itself, his crew of Adam the MC, Rick the DJ, and Zaza and Magic the dancers were absolutely awesome.
