We initially requested basic dance floor lighting that was just going to be dropped off, but Chris stayed the entire time and did some crazy beautiful things with the settings that I'm sure are going to look gorgeous in the photos! My only regret is getting distracted and not offering him a meal once I learned he was staying (I'm sorry!). I'd recommend SoPrime to anyone for any type of occasion -- they were a pleasure to work. Thank you!!

Had Josh come to a party I threw as a DJ and would highly recommend him…read more While he had his own style and didn't need any specific input, he was also open to suggestions about what I was interested in having - did a great job of combining what I was looking for with a bit of his own plan so it didn't get boring or repetitive.

My husband and I hired Chicago movers and shakers for our wedding this last past July. When we…read moreoriginally hired josh last summer in August we were really excited. He is personable, seemed organized and he was very quick to respond. So we hired him and continued to plan our wedding without thinking about it twice. Now, I know that June, July and August is the busiest time of the year for anybody in the wedding business and I know that this is Josh's side job. Nevertheless, he was practically unreadable the month before my wedding. I tried calling him the day of my wedding and he did not even respond or call me back. I went into the church not knowing if I had a dj or not. When I got to my venue josh had just arrived and was setting up. He was supposed to arrive two hours ahead of time and he barely made it an hour before. I had also hired him to play a slideshow that my mother spent hours putting together of my husband and I in addition to a black and white movie. We had previously discussed which wall it would go on. I walk into the space and the projector was set up on the wrong wall and it was so close to the wall that we couldn't even see the beautiful slide show that my mother put together clearly. It was heartbreaking. As far as the actual music part, he played good song choices. However, he played them all the way to the end, no dj skills to transition from one song to the other. Honestly, I could have put on Spotify or Pandora and it would have been the same. I had to also tell him when to play the father daughter dance and had to signal him when to stop the song so that we could play the first dance song. All in all it was not a good experience. I'm a big Yelp and review person and I am not quite sure how he got so many good reviews but he definitely dropped the ball at my wedding big time. His services left a lot to be desired from.

I had the pleasure of working with Nicky Avalo Studios and WOW, what a dream team of incredible…read morefolks! I submitted a request directly through Yelp and heard back from Nicky so quickly. From the get go, he was responsive, excited to work together, and eager to make sure the DJ/vibe/music were all perfect for the occasion. We set up a call right away where we narrowed down all details and was able to pass along any major do's/don'ts I had in terms of the music, which I really appreciated. I had a lot of flexibility when it came to the event, but it was nice to know that the option was there for those who do have specific requests. On the day of the event, Nicky and his team arrived early to set up and make sure music was going when guests arrived. DJ Blenz was freaking fantastic at hyping up the crowd and getting people excited! Despite being an uncomfortably hot day, DJ Blenz + Nicky were outside in the *direct* sunlight keeping the party going, and I never once heard them complain. I truly can't recommend Nicky Avalo and his team enough! An easy 5 stars. I hope to work with them again in the future!

Mark photographed our wedding in October, and I was waiting to receive our prints before reviewing…read more He absolutely earned our five star rating--Mark was wonderful! He has a very impressive yet unimposing style, and while he happily took any formal photographs that we wanted, he excelled at "capturing the moment" shots. He took our suggestions and improved upon them and was able to direct us to the shots that he recognized we would want. And during the wedding and reception I barely even noticed he was there yet he got so many great shots. We received the photos within the time he estimated and just loved them. I am so happy that we went with Mark--he has a great eye and I would highly recommend for everyone--and he is very flexible and works with your budget. Couldn't ask for better!

Working with John, from our first consultation phone call, to our incredible wedding day, was…read morenothing short of exceptional. He is communicative, energetic, thoughtful and an utmost professional. We picked John because on our consultation call, he took such an interest in us and our story and really shared his vision for our day. We wanted a DJ and live band, and John coordinated that seamlessly, setting us up with incredible live musicians as well. Leading up to the wedding, we were in contact frequently, and he made sure he truly understood our vision for the music, energy and vibe of our day. He made it clear he wasn't just in charge of a playlist, but really wanted to execute the tone and vibe that we had in mind for our wedding. At the actual wedding, he really came through with every request we had and did it so efficiently and honestly, perfectly. He went above and beyond and you could tell he absolutely takes pride in and loves every second of what he does. We would not only recommend John/Chicago Top DJ, but we also would pick him 100/100 times if we did it all over again!
