Extreme Sounds Entertainment & Lighting

Thank you Extreme Sounds Entertainment for making our wedding night one to remember!

online platform was easy to use and add music to. They showed up on time for the event and made it so much fun!!

l—he got on several calls with us to answer our questions, walk us through the process, and help us feel confident about every detail. His guidance made planning so much easier, and on the wedding day, he completely exceeded our expectations.

ht!

magined it going so well. This is coming from a couple who are very music oriented. Our dj was Jorge and between working with our plans and being flexible to some of our quirks and even on the fly changes - he stayed calm and welcomed everything we asked. I can’t recommend them enough, for real. Thanks guys, you helped make the night so special!

and made sure our timeline was executed to the minute. He kept the dance floor going up until the very end. Thank you for making our day special DJ

r as well! Our package even included a photo-booth which was amazing!

was easy and straightforward, and the actual DJing was some of the best I've ever experienced (and I've been to MANY weddings!). Our DJ timed the bridal party entrances perfectly, and during the reception dance party he transitioned seamlessly from one song to the next. A few guests told my wife and me, unprompted, how good all the music was. Thanks, Extreme Sounds!!

our decision to use them for our special day.

notch. They assigned us with our DJ and our DJ was in contact through the planning of our special day. Their online system was very easy to use and the coordination. Our DJ kept the dance floor full all night and played all of our playlist music selection and took request from our guest. Received many amazing comments from our guest. Highly recommended this company and very affordable as well.

asy. We were able to log into their system and request all of our music. This process made it so convenient. Tony was able to play day of requests and his mixing was spot on!!!! Would recommend them too all of our friends and family!

organize the reception and music made life easy. I would recommend him to anyone getting married or hosting a party in the Chicagoland area. On top of his professionalism, he was a great dude too! Very easy to chat with and definitely has his stuff together!

e kept things rolling and upbeat. Great bridal party introductions and very easy to work with. Thank you, so much Tony for everything! We found the DJ on Google not through the Knot.

at the day went just as we had planned. We appreciated how easy their site made it to plan out the timing of the different events throughout the wedding. The photo booth was a big hit with the guests as well!

ing and can weave songs together effortlessly. He came highly recommended from our wedding venue, and we are so glad we booked him!

th. I would HIGHLY RECCOMEND!!

us he did an amazing job mixing the different types of music together to keep everyone on the dance floor. Tony was very responsive when we had questions and was always willing to jump on a call. He made sure we had fun at our wedding. If another event comes up in the future we will definitely go back to him. Thank you Tony!

music perfect the day of! We had so many guest compliments on our choice of DJ! After our initial call we knew immediately this company was the right choice. Thank you all for everything and for making our wedding such an amazing event!

tra fee for having an outdoor ceremony even though my contract clearly stated "ceremony included". His argument was that it is more difficult to set-up ceremony outdoors when reception and cocktail hour will be held indoors. I completely understood this. But it's not fair when he knew our set-up from the beginning, worked with our venue multiple times, does not clearly state this in the contract, and fails to bring this to my attention until 2 months before our wedding when we've been working together for 10 months. Our budget was completely maxed out by this point but Tony was nice enough to understand my frustration and dropped the fee. The website they give you to personalize your Playlist is awesome! I worked on it for a year as music was most important to me. Tony assigned us DJ Mike for our wedding and Mike was a pleasure to work with for almost a year. Which became very unfortunate when he came down with covid a day before our wedding. Again, I completely understand, not his fault. Tony then assigns us another DJ named angel. Nice guy but he had no idea what he was doing. which I understand because the poor guy just got thrown into our wedding last minute with no planning. which unfortunately messed up our timeline a little bit and most of all, most importantly, my Playlist 😔 I worked so incredibly hard on that Playlist for literally a year and only half of my Playlist got played. cocktail hour was perfect but then when reception came, he played completely random music that I did not choose whatsoever. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt that maybe since our previous DJ got sick, maybe he only had time to download half of our Playlist? I have no clue what happened but it was very disappointing to me. our guests didn't seem to mind but to me personally, this was something I worked very hard on and was so disappointed when I realized none of my music was being played half way through and I actually had to request songs for my self... I'm not blaming anyone, I am just sharing my experience. Regardless, we couldn't have our wedding without them I guess and the photobooth was really phenomenal 🙌

night long. The up lights looked fabulous and my guests loved the photo booth. I am very happy with my decision to hire this company

all the songs that were on the list and also let us suggest some more during the event which made it a great experience. He was also a great entertainer at the reception, we are very satisfied with his service.

!! I would most definitely book him he made our wedding a blast and fun!

ll and at the right time. He worked with our coordinator to ensure that the reception goes smoothly. DJ Ralph read the crowd and kept everyone on their feet the entire night. We had a fantastic time! DJ Ralph and his wife even helped out with setting up some decor. They did a great job and are very grateful to them for helping make our wedding day special and unforgettable. Our guests enjoyed the music so well they repeatedly asked where we found this DJ. We will definitely be recommending DJ Ralph and Extreme Sounds Entertainment.

e great. I would highly recommend them!

have a great planning form, so you can communicate well in advance of your needs. They truly care to make sure they can do what they can to make your event a success. The photo booth was clean, awesome variety of props, and they were on time. Tony was our attendant and he was super kind to our guests. Highly recommend utilizing them for your next party or event!

d for our future events!

is very good and they provide top service.

d some events where we had choreographed dances and needed specific music and he had it all covered for us. We had multiple people come up to us saying he was the best wedding DJ they’ve heard and I couldn’t agree more. He was a dream to work with and put us first always - whether that meant setting up a call to work with our schedules or adapting as he needed to. Our DJ was such a huge part of the weekend and was the reason our guests had such a blast!!! We highly recommended Extreme Sounds Entertainment for your wedding.

y was the best and made it really fun!!

io spot so that the ceremony reenactment had music and microphones, on the day of the event, right before the ceremony. It was a beautiful celebration, the music was awesome, and Derek was great to work with through both the planning process and at the event itself. We highly recommend Extreme Sounds Entertainment for any couples looking for an affordable and professional company.

elivered. He knew exactly how to read the crowd, and the dance floor was completely full from the moment it opened. He was also incredibly clear with his announcements and kept the crowd both engaged and informed of what was coming up ahead, which was truly appreciated by my guests. A great mark of a DJ is when their transitions go unnoticed, but their ability to inform the crowd is so exceptional that multiple guests go up to the bride and groom after the wedding gushing over how wonderful the DJ was…that was our experience. When we first booked Extreme Sounds Entertainment we were assigned a different DJ. We ended up having to change our date due to Covid and, in doing so, our previous DJ was no longer available. Not for a second did we have to worry because Emily and the team immediately assigned us a new DJ. That is one of the great things about working with this company; every DJ is so professional, organized and on top of it that if something happens, you know it will be taken care of. My husband and I knew without a shadow of a doubt that we were in good hands with anyone from Extreme Sounds Entertainment, but we really feel like we hit the jackpot with Tony. He went so far above and beyond; we had multiple meetings where he made sure to solidify all of our song choices, timeline and everything in between. He texted us when he was on his way to the venue, arrived early after a 2 hour commute, and even sent us pictures of our final dance we had while the guests were lining up for the ending. I cannot stress this enough…he was AMAZING!!! Everything was perfect, and we could not ask for a better DJ. We highly recommend Extreme Sounds Entertainment & Lighting.

ly was a huge hit at our wedding, and they did a great job with setup and including it for a price that wasn't astronomical. Unfortunately, we cannot recommend Extreme for anyone who strongly values specific music as a part of their wedding day. By providing a Client Portal, Extreme Sounds is bringing a feeling of customization to its customers, but with this comes a responsibility to cater to the information customers provide. Sadly, this was not the case on our wedding night. The DJ was mostly polite and courteous; however, a number of things went sideways that showed he either did not read or did not care to follow the wishes we'd expressed leading up to the event. This included extensive, painstaking notes and song choices we devoted time to in the midst of other stressful wedding planning, as well as a phone call to go over all this information with the DJ the week of the wedding. In the online Client Portal provided, we gave over 2 full hours worth of *MUST-PLAY* songs for our reception. Out of these, less than a third were played. We gave another 2-plus hours worth of play-if-possible songs, the vast majority of which were not played. We requested a specific instrumental to play during bridal party/parent introductions, which was not played. Something we didn't recognize was played in its place. We made a note to play one of our more explicit songs later in the night, but it was played while everyone was eating dinner. We gave a timeline for several things, like bouquet toss and cake cutting, but these were not announced by the DJ. We had to coordinate these ourselves and hustle to get guests together. Our bouquet toss song was not played. Our last dance song was not played, and the vast majority of guest requests, including by bride and groom, were not played, and seemingly ignored instead. Although we could understand a DJ doing his own thing to fill in gaps, that's not what happened on our night. Our DJ clearly decided to do his own thing, which devalued the hours upon hours we had taken picking must-play songs that were special to us. Our wedding was so beautiful and full of love that the letdown in music was unable to ruin it, but this particular DJ did not give an experience I can recommend.

ow our music preferences, he was timely, friendly, and worked really well with our guests and feeling the mood on the dance floor! He was a great DJ! We couldn't have been happier! Excellent!
