DJ Jill was perfect at our wedding! All the ceremony music was perfectly timed, and she kept us dancing at the reception. My Man of Honor mentioned a band that we love in his toast, and so Jill played a song by them as a little surprise after the last dance. That was so thoughtful and special and memorable, I love that attention to detail. For my fellow millennials who don't like talking on the phone, she got all our information through an email questionnaire, which is great since I could attach Spotify links to specific songs. We had to reschedule our wedding a number of times due to Covid, and Bialek's Music was great at accommodating us. Would very much recommend Bialek's Music and DJ Jill!

I worked with Bialek's Music for my Wedding reception. Communication was great between myself and the team. We chose the Signature Package, where a DJ would be chosen one month before the event. DJ John was excellent and we received many compliments from our guests.

We hired Lloyd Dobler Effect and they were just beyond amazing. Not only did they rock the house during our wedding, they were so kind and flexible and so easy to work with. We had to postpone our wedding due to COVID and they were so compassionate and even checked in on us on our prior date. We can't thank them enough - we highly recommend working with Bialek's Music and hiring LDE Band!
