Music By Design

We can't say enough about this company. Everything from start to finish was exceptional. They delivered exactly what was promised and then some. Our DJ packed the dance floor, he was sharply dressed and very polite. He followed our timeline and made the night outstanding. Our guests are still talking about "our wedding"! Everything from start to finish was great. Highly recommend!!

We loved our DJ, and he played all the music we requested. I liked how he didn't advertise his company with big signs. Our guests filled the dance floor all night!

Music by Design is FANTASTIC and so easy to work with! Jeff was our DJ and we met with him personally for the initial meeting. He explained everything very thoroughly and that we could customize as much or as little as we wanted. Other companies told us they would only allow 50 do-not-play's and would not let us "ban" a genre because someone may want to hear it (sorry, if I loathe and despise country music, I don't want to hear it at my wedding - people who want to hear it can listen on the way home). I did select a lot of songs, both to play throughout the evening and for the do-no-play list, and the online tool is very easy to use. I never heard 1 song off of the do-not-play, and Jeff was very good at reading the crowd and selecting music. My parents and I both received several compliments throughout the evening on the music and on Jeff. Pricing is also comparable other DJs we met with. HIGHLY recommended - thanks Jeff!

I would recommend Music by Design to every bride! They provided EXACTLY what they advertised -- a professional DJ. I was able to meet with our DJ, Joe, BEFORE I signed the contact with Music by Design (which was months before our wedding). The online forms that I filled out before the wedding were easy and they made our reception flow flawlessly. We had a call with Joe several days before the wedding to review all the details. We sent him several last minute changes that he incorporated without any hiccups. Joe arrived early to the country club to set up. The music was great and exactly what we talked about ahead of time. Many of our guest commented about how professional and wonderful the DJ was and the music was at the reception. Everyone was up and dancing and Joe never had to be obnoxious or talk too much. He just played music and kept the party going! I can't say more great things about this company. If you don't want to worry about your reception music then use Music by Design! And I especially recommend Joe!

Great job. Music by Design and DJ David performed exactly as promised when we had our initial meeting. He ran the reception and took a load off my wife and me. I strongly recommend them to anyone who needs a DJ service for any event. True professionals but also made the reception a lot of fun.

My wife and I got married on 11/5/11 and we had Music by Design provide music for the wedding ceremony and the reception. Overall my wife and I were extremely happy with Music By Design - the process from start to finish was excellent and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a DJ.We looked at several DJs and had Music by Design on our short list based on other reviews we read, the estimated cost for their services, and the general vibe we got after running through their website. Once we met with them in person at their Schaumburg offices, we were sold. When the date started getting closer and we got in to the nitty-gritty details we started to use Music by Design's website planning tools to map everything out. The tools were easy to use and helped us think through the day-of events, including some things we probably wouldn't have thought about on our own.Towards the end, when all the little things were getting double and triple checked, I ended up sending quite a few emails to Music by Design with questions and specific requests. They were always quick to respond and easy to work with ... they answered all my questions quickly and met all my requests.When the wedding day arrived, we had Tim as our DJ. He was very professional and a pleasure to work with. He was helpful and accommodating and through everything that involved providing music/equipment - ceremony, cocktail hour, introductions, speeches, first dances, the reception, etc., - I didn't have to think about or worry about anything, I knew Tim had it covered and I could just enjoy my wedding. And in the most basic terms, that is everything I could have asked for.

We had Jeff as our DJ and he did an amazing job. Everyone commented on how great the music was and my bridesmaids said he did a great job getting everyone ready for introductions. He was nice, took requests and played great music. Highly recommend them!

Music By Design, did a great job at our wedding. Great DJ, wonderful price, and great service. Our DJ was so outstanding he talked with each of my bridal party attendents to see if there was anything they wanted played as well as worked with me on my unqiue song choices during the first dances. Great, great, great... highly recommend.

We had a multilingual wedding so naturally we were concerned whether the DJ would be able to mix in songs in languages he doesn't know. We were actually referred to this company by another company that would not let us choose in advance a specific DJ we would be comfortable with. Our first appointment at Music By Design was with the same DJ who would eventually perform at our wedding. His name was Tim.To handle the multilingual issue, we sent him in advance an extensive list of all the foreign songs we wanted, plus several English songs so he will be familiar with our taste. The fact that he never played many of these songs before was definitely not apparent in the party. Most important for us from the DJ was to keep everyone dancing as much as possible, and make it as worry-free experience for us. His did both things amazingly. He also made all the announcements and took care of operating the AV equipment when we wanted to show short movies. The party itself lasted for 4 hours, and if we hadn't asked him to call it a night, he would have gone on.We cannot emphasize enough how much we were happy with our decision to go with them and with Tim specifically.

Music by Design is the real deal and we were beyond pleased with everything. Jeff was our DJ and is a natural born entertainer, host and leader. He laid the foundation for celebration and created an enviroment that was a breeding ground for fun in all directions. Jeff is what every bride and groom would want on their special day to bring the music, light and laughter. From start to finish, we knew we were in good hands and could relax and enjoy ourselves.

Jeff from Music by Design was our DJ. He did a fantastic job. We got lots of compliments on the DJ, and many people said that Jeff was the best DJ they'd ever seen. Everyone seemed to have a really good time. I was concerned before the wedding, because my family doesn't really get up and dance. However, at our wedding, everyone was up and dancing! The dance floor was full until the end of the night, which was what I wanted. We didn't set the entire playlist ahead of time- we filled out our "do not play list" and put some songs on our "must play" list. I really liked that everything is online. Their website is easy to use, and it's nice to be able to fill out the forms whenever, and then go back and edit with new ideas. I also spoke with Jeff a few days before the wedding to give him an idea of what we wanted. It was perfect! I don't think he could have done a better job.

Music By Design did a great job at our wedding. Our DJ was Kyle and we liked him right away from our first meeting. Their online system is easy to use and lets you enter in “must play”, “would like to hear”, and “do not play” lists (as well as songs for all the other important moments). If you want a song that they do not already have in their library, you can request it and they will download it for you (we wanted a couple specific versions of songs for our ceremony and they found them no problem). Kyle called us the Wednesday before our wedding and went through everything in detail with us.On the day of, he played our ceremony selections just right and he did a really great job keeping the dance floor packed all night. He also pronounced everyone’s names correctly during the introductions (double-checked with us beforehand), and coordinated with us, our venue, our photographers and our videographers to handle the timing of all the events throughout the night. It went very smoothly!Overall great experience with Kyle, and with Music by Design’s management as well. Any emails I sent to them with questions were answered promptly and with good customer service.

MBD is awesome! Probably, the best service we got our our money at our wedding (09/23/2011). David was very nice and professional. He made sure everything went smoothly. He also made sure to check everyone's name pronunciation before the introductions... That was a big deal to me because the bride's name was mispronounced at one of the weddings I went to- how embarrassing. I hope that we will have our vow renewals, we'll have a party and we will be able to hire them again. Music By Design(David) made our night! 5 stars, all around!

Music by Design was by far the most professional and best DJ company I met with. I HATE cheesy DJ's that try to get a bunch of attention at weddings. In my opinion, the DJ's job is to play music and get people dancing. Joe from MBD did just that and I can't recommend him enough!! He had us on the dance floor the whole night - there was not one song that cleared the dance floor like I see at some weddings! I focused more on the Do Not Play List (and he didn't play one song I put on there, thank goodness). I only put a handful of songs on the Must Play List and let Joe do the rest of the work. I don't have any complaints and would definitely use him again if I have another even where I need a DJ!

We really put a lot of importance on our DJ, so we researched A LOT of them and Music By Design was an easy choice! After meeting with David and hearing about their philosophies and seeing the user interface for choosing music, we knew we were in the right place.Our goal for our wedding was that everyone felt like they had to be on the dance floor and that is exactly what we got. We chose some of the music but David filled in the rest seamlessly with songs that had our little cousins, friends and even grandparents dancing. It was awesome!!! We got so many complements on the DJ throughout the night AND continue to hear how good he was 3 weeks later. (Our event was 8/26/11). Another thing that was really great about Music by Design, specifically David, was how he helped orchestrate the reception and timeline. He organized everyone for introductions, helped our friends feel comfortable with the mic for the speeches and even found my toss bouquet for me to throw later in the night. I can't recommend Music by Design enough - totally worth the money, totally awesome!

Our DJ for the reception was Tony. He was just great! Our dance floor was packed the entire wedding! Our older relatives have said that they have never danced more at a wedding before. He did such a great job playing older music, newer music, slower and faster songs. Every time a song seemed to let people try to leave the dance floor, Tony changed the song so the floor stayed packed! It was so great! He was so wonderful to work with before the wedding as well. He kept everyone calm and kept the day moving along at a great pace! Thank you so much!

We wanted a great party at our wedding without anything corny. This vendor was recommended to us by a friend and we have no complaints. Fantastic entertainment for the wedding at a reasonable price.

We had Dave as our Dj and he was outstanding! We were really picky about music choices and speeches, he did an outstanding job the entire day. The ceremony sound was great and the timing of the event was great. We are really happy that we chose Music By Design. We even had several up lights and it helped to create a festive atmosphere.

Our DJ, Tony, was awesome. He kept the dance floor crowded the entire night! While I submitted the "must play" and "play if possible" lists, I specifically requested that the DJ use his professionalism to play whatever would keep the party going. He did just that! He played most, but not everything on the list, and more importantly, he played what our guests wanted to hear and it was fantastic! I would HIGHLY recommend this DJ and the company in general for its professionalism and value.

My now husband and I found Music by Design on a wedding planning website. Based on other reviews, we requested Jeff. Their overall planning process was great! We were able to select "must play" "do not play" and our specific dance songs on their site. We were able to view the top songs requested for the current time. They made everything so easy for us! Jeff was incredible! He played a variety of music that was specific to our tastes. He kept people on the dance floor from beginning to end. We got A LOT of compliments from the guests on the music and overall energy of the reception. Highly recommended!!

Music by Design made our reception rock!! We are still getting compliments about how great Steve was!! He read the crowd like a book, slowing the music down when needed and then pumping them back up again. We weren’t sure if people would want to dance since our dance floor was in a different room as our tables, but Steve drew them in and they stayed all night!! He showed up early to set up to make sure everything worked and he was courteous to all of our guests. We recommend them to anyone getting married!!!!

Steve from Music By Design was the DJ for our wedding reception at Montefiori in Lemont, IL. He was absolutely amazing & worked incredibly hard to get everything up and running. Not only did he have to set up his own equipment, but he also set up mics for the pastor and the live music we had during cocktail hour (both of which were in a garden area off of the main reception tent). Steve kept the party going the entire night! The dance floor was packed from the beginning to the absolute last second of the reception. We would hire Music By Design again in a heartbeat!!!

David, our DJ from Music by Design, made our wedding reception a huge success! We had a lot of different events going on during the dinner hour and David arranged times with the photographer and venue. My husband and I did not have to worry about a thing once at the reception- we were able to enjoy it and we sure did!The planning process was also made very easy. When we met with David for the first time, it was great to know that he would be the one doing our wedding. Some other companies outsource and so you do not know what you are going to get until the week before the wedding. Music by Design has a website that allows you to pick songs for first dances, must play lists, etc... It makes planning easy and organized. We were in contact with David via phone, email and he even arranged to meet with us the week before the wedding to go over names & song choices. We had our wedding party walk into different songs, and David made that happen. All names were pronounced correctly.The dance floor was packed the entire night. Everything went perfectly and it was because of the organizational skills and professionalism of David. I highly recommend Music by Design to anyone!

Music by Design was FABULOUS. Right from the start they exceeded my expectations. They are easy to work with and everyone in the company is very knowledgable and helpful during the entire wedding process. Joe went above and beyond to make our night absolutely perfect. He took great care of the entire night and I truly believe he is one of the main reasons our night ran so smoothly (and perfectly!) He made sure to get everyone's attention before doing all of the big events (this was something I requested and he did a great job making sure people were paying attention to big things like first dances, cake cutting, ect.) He also gave input to our timeline (something I found really helpful) right before our wedding. We listed a few songs that we would like played but mainly left it up to Joe... to get everyone out on the dance floor..I was a little nervous at first but the dance floor was PACKED the entire night. Everyone from our friends (mid 20s) to our parents and their friends (50s-60s) to every other age was out dancing the night away! People wouldn't get off the dance floor, they loved his music choices. I would recommend music by design, especially Joe, for any and every wedding. He is very knowledgable, flexible, and simply fabulous when it comes to being a dj at a wedding! This company deserves more that 5 stars in each category!

Everything went perfect. Professional and really understood our tastes in music. Would recommend to anyone in a heart beat!!

Our DJ was Kyle and he was AWESOME! We had just about everything you could get from them: name in lights, ceremony, LED lights, etc. Kyle made sure everyone had a great time. Always checked with us about the music. He also played the song we walked into as the last song at the after party. Music By Design is the ONLY choice for a DJ!

I had met MBD at a Bridal Expo and kept them in the back of my mind when the DJ search began. We met with several other companies, and MBD fit in with exactly what we were looking for - completely down to earth and not showy. We also had them take the monogram from our invitations and put it in lights to be displayed on the dance floor - and it came out wonderfully! David was our DJ, and he worked with us over the course of the year before our wedding. He was always ready and willing to help us find some of our more unique song requests, and he had every detail nailed down when we met two days before the wedding. On the actual wedding day, he was nothing but professional and fun to be around. He did a great job coordinating with all the other vendors to ensure the night went smoothly. We have never seen a wedding dance floor so crowded from start to finish. People had the most amazing time, and David did such a great job reading the crowd that people did not want to sit down! To this day, we still get tons of compliments on the reception, and we owe it all to David and Music By Design. I would highly recommend them to anyone!!

Jeff Hester and Music by Design were great. Jeff and the other owner/ manager David Savoia were both very helpful and responsive throughout the whole process of creating our playlists and planning the DJ's role in our wedding. Jeff has a fantastic personality and everyone enjoyed working with him (me, my fiance, my parents). Music by Design works to make sure that the DJs aren't a focal point in the wedding/ event (no props, no cheesy interactions with guests), and Jeff was all class and did just that. We had tons of compliments on the music, and when I approached him during the wedding to make minor changes to what we'd originally planned, he was flexible and able to do that. He also checked with us during the dinner to make sure the volume was okay and everything else was satisfactory. I would recommend Music by Design to anyone looking for a trustworthy DJ for his/ her event.

The Music by Design on-line planning tools are very helpful. Prior experience at our venue, The Herrington, was extremely helpful. Our DJ, Kyle, did an excellent job keeping things moving during our reception and coordinated with the other vendors. He checked in with us periodically during the reception and was able to meet all of our needs and requests. Music by Design was super easy to work with and extremely responsive. Just what you want when planning your reception!

Jeff from Music By Design is awesome!!! He wasn't that annoying, cheesy wedding dj that most people have. He listened to what I wanted played and what I didn't want played and he respected that. I picked some songs I wanted to hear and he created an amazing playlist from that. He kept people dancing all night. My feet hurt for days but it was so worth it! I had a ton of complements on Jeff and it really made me happy I chose Music By Design! I never once had a problem with them nor do I have anything bad to say. I HIGHLY recommend Music By Design!

Not only was Kyle a great DJ but I was highly impressed with how he coordinated our entire wedding. He was definitely the host of the show and did a wonderful job. A bride couldnt be any happier.

Well worth the cost. He did a great job and did exactly what we asked him to. He even pronounced everyone's names right! He kept the party moving and was never obnoxious. I would definitely use this company again. Joe was great!

Joe was great. Very professional and made sure everyone had fun. They were also very timely to respond to all our questions. They truly helped make our day perfect. I would definitely use them again if given the chance and would recommend them again. They have an online play list maker and he honored all my requests.

Our DJ was David and he was amazing! We were so impressed with him right from the beginning. The music was exactly what we requested, and we had a ton of fun- we are still getting compliments about it! He made everything run so smoothly and it seemed effortless (while I'm sure it was not!). One of my favorite things was that he was great about checking in on us quickly and quietly throughout the evening to make sure everything was just as we wanted- and of course it always was!

We just had our wedding this last Saturday and Tony was our DJ. He was absolutely amazing! very professional, very flexible and VERY understanding! He did a great job! I would tell any one of my friends to use the company! LOVED THEM!

These guys really know what they are doing. I researched multiple different DJs and the main reason I chose Music by Design was because they were the most organized, detailed and easy. Their preperation was low maitenence so I didnt have to put too much of my time into "what I wanted" but could be as detailed as I wanted it to be. Really, there was no room for error. On my wedding day, I, along with ALL of my guests, was overly impressed. To this day, I am still getting compliments on our music at our wedding. Jeff (our DJ), took all of my scattered ideas and turned them into an elegant, romantic and most importantly, FUN masterpiece. He made sure everything went smoothly from the ceremony, preparing my enormous 18 person bridal party for announcment line up, cake cutting to all the in between details down to the last song of the night. Thank you guys so much... Brides, choose these guys!

I was most nervous about our DJ over all other vendor selections because we are not very knowledgeable about music and had to trust that the DJ we chose would be able to read the crowd and put on a good show. We were blown away at how amazing Jeff (our DJ) was. Beyond his great customer service, his choices for both the ceremony (which we gave no guidance for) and the reception for absolutely perfect. We received several comments about how great it was. In addition, he was on top of all the details and coordinating with the other vendors.In addition, Music By Design throughout the whole process was very organized and responsive.I would highly recommend Music By Design!!

Steve was GREAT!! We had read all the great reviews about Music by Design but we didn't actually know anyone that used them. With all the weddings of friends and family we had been to we were not impressed with the DJs they used. Music by Design was amazing. Everyone was out on the dance floor. Even guests that typically don't get out and dance at weddings. My husband is not a dancer but withthe wonderful music you couldn't help but be out on the dance floor! We would recommend this DJ to anyone. They are not the cheapest, but they are well worth their money.

We paid a little more for a DJ, and I cannot stress enough how worth it Music By Design was. For something that adds so much to the entire feel of your event, it was money well spent. Very well spent. David was amazing, from starting last fall to the night of the event. Everything was perfect.

We were so happy with Tony; he exceeded our expectations! He not only played the music we asked him to, keeping our guests entertained, but he also did everything he could to be our liaison with the banquet hall for anything we might need. Each suggestion he made was thoughtful and beneficial to the flow of our reception. He was not obnoxious in the least bit, but very professional and friendly. We got so many compliments on the music, many people saying it's the best music they've heard at a wedding for a long time. We would definitely recommend Tony to anyone looking for a quality DJ. Thanks so much for helping to make our wedding such a memorable event!

Music by design literally had us at hello! We attended a bridal expo and they were the only ones that had prices posted and they were not pushy. When I arrived to my venue Kyle was already there and everything was set up. He was very helpful and he even helped me with my pushy photographer!!! Thanks a million Kyle! Thanks Music By Design.

Kyle was more than excellent - he was spectacular. More than a few guests commented to me how wonderful the music was. Kyle was amiable and professional, worked great with our photographer, and made Lisa and I feel completely at ease all night long. I would recommend him to anyone I meet. And the extra lighting we ordered was perfect.

We loved Kyle! Our guests had a blast and it was totally because of the music! People were dancing ALL night! Our wedding was blast!

Music By Design was fantastic to work with. The planning process was easy and any questions that we had were answered right away. They did everything we asked for and more!

Our experience with Music By Design was absolutely wonderful! The planning process was rather easy, and although we've got a couple of suggestions for their web based planning forms, we could do all of our planning online. They were able to accommodate getting us songs that weren't listed on their music library. They were very prompt in responding to any questions or concerns we had. They were also flexible in having us do some non-traditional events at the reception. Our DJ Joe had everything under control with the photographer and banquet captain before the reception, and we didn't have to worry about a thing. Joe was professional, classy and very easy going. Our reception was fun and energetic and many people stayed on the dance floor all night long! We couldn't have been happier with our experience with this company, and would recommend them to anyone!

Danti and I would recommend David and the whole entire Music By Design team to anyone who is in need of a dj. Not only were the prices reasonable but they accomodated ever single one of our needs!After the wedding we received so many comments about the excellent selection of the music that was played. We also were told that with most weddings our family and friends attend the music is always too loud, obnoxious, and offending to certain groups of the crowd. Our wedding reception was different - the dj energized the crowd, picked music that EVERYONE like, and kept the party on the dance floor.All of our guests were pleased and we had a great time.Thank you Music By Design for all the hard work and for helping my husband and I the wedding of our dream and so much more!!!!

So many people complimented the dance floor staying full!The selections and just the way everything was sooo smooth!!A lot of the requests were handled right away-that was great,when I left it was no big deal since i was there for my specifics!!!I had my brother in law tell me, it would not of mattered if your wedding was 2 more hours, the dance floor would of stayed full!!! That really meant a lot!!!David called the week before, ran through everything and gave suggestions!I could go on and on!! I truly have to thank the Geneva Bridal Show!!!I really talked to you there since it was more personal then ANY other show!!And if i saw David at another show, he remembered me, that alone meant something!!!We jammed the place out!! THANK YOU FOR HELPING MAKE THE DAY A GREAT FINAL PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!

So so so happy with the service and performance. Best DJ ever!!!

Kyle was great! We couldn't have asked for a better DJ. Kyle was fun and kept things flowing. Everyone had a wonderful time and many said it was the best wedding they had ever been to.

Tony was fantastic! He made the evening much easier knowing he had things under control. We would definitely recommend music by design to others.

Music by Design was an awesome vendor from the beginning of our planning through the end of our reception. The customer service was SUPREME. I couldn't have asked for a better DJ to work with than David. He was professional, talented and helped me from beginning to end planning every element of music from the ceremony to cocktails to the reception. With their on line planning tool, each song and musical element of our wedding was chosen with ease. David called me throughout my planning many times to ask if I had questions or needed help. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND MUSIC BY DESIGN FOR YOUR WEDDING!!!

This company is amazing--everything we could have askede for! Our DJ Joe was awesome and everyone at the wedding loved him! They make it super easy to pick songs that we do and do not like...and stick to everything we asked them. Everyone in the company is very nice and very helpful. They were absolutely perfect and we would recommend this company to anyone!!

David was awesome! He was extremely professional, kept everyone dancing all night, and knew what the crowd wanted to hear! He is outstanding at what he does and witnessing him DJing our wedding was clear proof of that! He kept the night flowing smoothly, nothing was rushed or dragged on, and he was extremely accommodating to our every need! Choosing him for our wedding was the easiest decision we made while planning! I will recommend him to everyone I know!

I just want to thank you so much for being a part of our special day. The music was WONDERFUL & Jeff was the perfect person to DJ for our wedding. I was very happy I chose you as our DJ. I have gotten many comments on how great you were and how our dance floor was NEVER empty. The music selection was what I had requested and more. Everyone had a great time and this was mostly due to the music. I will most definitely be recommending Music By Design to everyone that I can! Thanks again and thank you Jeff!!!!

All the guests said how much they liked the music selections and Jack himself. He was very sweet and personable.

Our ceremony and reception was at two different locations.Kyle was our DJ and Dave did the ceremony and helped organize the entire event. I was worried because we did not hire a wedding coordinator but with Dave there everything ran so smooth I did not even need one and I am glad we saved the money.Kyle did the reception and all my guests could say was "WOW", every time I looked at the dance floor there were people out there dancing and having a good time. Kyle was also very helpful in helping to keep the night flowing and I never once worried that people were not having fun, he did a very good job at reading the audience and knowing what they wanted. The entire planning process can be stressful and we did not have time to make an entire playlist and it was such a relief that we chose REAL professionals who really know what they're doing. Everybody had an awesome time and I would recommend this company to anybody looking for a stress-free wedding day!

Jeff did a great job of incorporating a play list that blended perfectly with our requested songs. We loved the song order and had so much fun!

We had a great time and would highly recommend Music By Design to all our friends and family. Our DJ was friendly and accommodating with all our requests.

Thank you so much again, we already had people telling us to save your number for them at the end of the evening!!

Joe was awesome, couldn't have asked for a better DJ.

We worked with Jeff Hester and were very happy with the service and professionalism of Music by Design. Their website was easy to use and we were able to pick which music we wanted (and didn't want) to hear. Jeff provided background music during both the cocktail hour and dinner. Once dancing started he made sure people stayed out on the dace floor al night. He kept the reception running smoothly and we could not have been happier with how the evening progressed.

Jack, you were amazing and we are blessed to have had you to assist with one of the most important parts of our reception (and at such short notice)!

David was great. I would definately recomend his services.

You made our wedding awesome. EVERYONE was dancing, even our uncles who never get out on the dance floor. I would recommend Jeff to any family or friends.

Everything was absolutely perfect. Jeff did an amazing job at our wedding. He was very attentive with regards to giving us a heads-up on certain songs that were coming up if we were away with photographer. He handled requests very well. The dance floor was always full!

Joe and the overall service from Music by design was unbelievable. From the first song until the end of the night the dance floor was completely packed. Loved it.

Our DJ Kyle was excellent and professional He had everyone dancing on the dance floor, including the grandparents. Music by Design delivered great music and an excellent party. My entire family is still talking about how much fun they had at our wedding and what a great job Kyle had done. Thank you.

Music By Design was great throughout our planning process. Steve did a great job at our wedding and we couldn't have asked for a better DJ! We will recommend him to anyone that we know who is getting married.

They are the absolute best!! Their professionalism and responsiveness is second to none. Jeff, our DJ, was amazing! I guarantee you will be more than thrilled with their services!

Joe was our DJ. Awesome job! We could not have asked for a better DJ. We would recommend Music by Design to anyone getting married in the Chicagoland area!

Excellent customer service.

Music by Design was one of the most professional vendors I used during wedding planning. Thier original presentation was professional and you meet the DJ who will actually be doing your wedding. Music by Design was unbelievably quick in all thier responses to my questions. They have an online database that helps with planning and picking music that made the entire process very easy. Our DJ, Tony was awesome! It was very obvious that he is experienced in what he does. The entire reception ran smoothly without any stress or worry on my part because he took care of directing everyone and ensuring everyone is where they needed to be. He was also very attentive to the audience. If he noticed that people were not responding to music selections he changed the song quickly. My husband and I both have very conservative families and we were afraid that no one would dance but the dance floor was filled all night long! The reception was a great time and I attribute it all to our DJ, Tony! Thanks.

Tony was AWESOME!!! He kept everything on schedule and ran the show smoothly!! We couldnt have asked for a better DJ...He did everything we asked and MORE!!!!

Music By Design is GREAT!!! They were so easy to work with and fufilled all of our desires in music selection. They also did a fantastic job coordinating our ceremony music and knew exactly what to play during dinner and so on. Their staff are very professional and kind, we worked with Jeff and he was so wonderful! THANK YOU!!

I would HIGHLY recommend Music By Design to anyone of my friends/family for their wedding. Working with this company was very easy, user-friendly and their staff is very friendly and professional. Their online site was extremely useful and helpful and I was happy that I could keep track of my own music list and day of schedule. The filler music during dinner and in between our choices was PERFECT, the DJ knew exactly what we liked and guests raved about the music! Jeff Hester, one of their DJs, was wonderful to work with as well. In addition, Jeff did our ceremony music and it was everything I wanted and more! Anything song we wanted, no matter how rare, Music By Design would find it and be sure to have it for us!

Our DJ (Jeff), and Music By Design as a whole were extremely friendly, helpful, and professional. We always felt like they really cared about making our day what we wanted. We had several special requests, and they had absolutely no problem meeting all of them. For example, we wanted to play movie, tv, and stage performance instrumental themes which WE even had a hard find tracking down online. We gave them a list of all the songs titles we wanted (approximately 30+) and they got ALL of them. They didn't even bat an eye at the request, just said "no problem, send us the list and we'll get them." The online planner was extremely helpful, and easy to use. We loved that we could provide the number of guests in each age range, and Jeff could build a playlist that would have something for everyone. We never had an empty dance floor, and Jeff kept things moving smoothly the whole night. They advertise a "no cheese" philosophy, and that is absolutely true. We were completely confident in Jeff, and he did not disappoint. We had so many of our guests comment on how great the music was, and what a great DJ we had. Another thing we loved was the "do not play list." We did not want any cheesy songs like the chicken dance, or hokey pokey, so when my mother in law requested a song that bordered on cheesy, Jeff checked with us first to get the ok. I cannot say enough good things about Music By Design, and Jeff. Of course I can't forget to mention that the pricing was great, and it was an extremely good value for the money.

The wedding was a complete success. Thank you for everything!

Because we are out of town and planned the wedding long distance I was a bit worried. David made sure every single item was taken care of both before, during and after the ceremony! We really liked David. If we lived there...we'd be friends! :)

Our wonderful DJ Jeff was laid back and on the ball - a great person to work with!

It was perfect! - exactly what we hoped for when looking for a DJ for our wedding reception! Our DJ was very professional but also friendly with everyone at the event and definitely tried to stick to our preferred music types. I will recommend Music By Design to anyone in need of a DJ and hope to have another occasion for one myself! Thank you so much for delivering on the promises made in your marketing materials.

We made people sing to make us kiss instead of clinking glasses, David then played the song they sang next- we loved it! He was incredibly professional, attentive, and checked everything with us, but never interrupted. The perfect DJ- you knew he was there and doing a great job, but never consciously took attention away from what was going on.

Everyone had a great time on the dance floor. Thank you for a wonderful, memorable evening.

We received so many compliments on what a wonderful job the DJ did. David was able to play music that was liked by guests young and old alike. The enjoyment of the guests as well as honoring any of our requests was definitely David's priority throughout the evening. We would gladly choose Music By Design again!

There is only one word for their service: AMAZING! A wedding has to be perfect, that's why use their service.

Our DJ Joe was very professional! In the past 5 years my wife Andrea and I have been to roughly 35-40 weddings and we have never seen as many people dancing as we did at our own wedding. His music selection was exactly what we were looking for and we had no complaints from anyone! As a matter of fact, we had a ton of comments of how good he was and how the entire party was uplifted the entire night. Personally I even got up and danced which I normally do not do because I have zero dance moves! It was a great night and my own wedding was the best one I have ever been to! Our DJ Joe hand a huge hand in making that happen! Thanks again and I would recommend 100%!

Our wedding was fabulous and we got numerous compliments on the music played during dinner and during the dancing time. We were extremely pleased with Music By Design and will definitely recommend them to our friends who are getting married!

This is a fantastic company! Jeff was our DJ and he listened to everything Tim and I wanted! He kept the dance floor full the whole night. I wanted a DJ that would play songs that all ages would like and keep everyone on the dance floor and that is exactly what Jeff did!!! If a song came on and people started leaving the floor he changed the song right away!!!!! I would not change a single thing about the DJ or this companies service!!!! This is an outstanding company and they do exceptional work!!!! 5 Stars all around!!!! I would highly rec this company to anyone and everyone!!!!!

Music By Design was an awesome company to work with for the music for my wedding reception. Our first meeting was with the actual DJ who would play our wedding and we liked him immediately. The DJs there are not cheesy and they do not push all the typical wedding music on to you. My husband and I were able to choose all our musical requests directly on the Music By Design website (including songs we did not want played) and it was easy to use. The DJ fulfilled all our requests and maintained the flow of the reception from the first dance to the garter toss without seeming too instrusive. I would recommend Music By Design to anyone looking to have a classy wedding reception without the "cheese."

Jeff was absolutley amazing and made everything flow seamlessly! Not your typical cheesy DJ! Added that extra touch to my elegant wedding!

Filling out the online request sheet was very helpful.

Our DJ was Jeff and he did a great job! One of our friends ended up booking him a week after our wedding for their wedding as well. He was so helpful in making sure everything went smoothly and on time. I will definetly be using him again for other events!

I was so impressed with Jack! I got SO MANY compliments on the music selection. He kept people on the dance floor all night long!

Everything was perfect!

At first I thought the price that I had paid for Music by Design was expensive!! But when I received there service I thought they were worth EVERY penny that we had spent!! It would be a huge mistake not to go with Music by Design!! Loved them!! Especially loved Tony our DJ!!!!

Amazing. We were so happy with our DJ, Jeff. Request him. He listened to what we wanted and played EXACTLY what we wanted. Everyone loved it and was up and dancing without any cheese. No macarena, chicken dance, electric slide, etc. Hire Jeff and you will have an amazing reception!

Jeff absolutely made our wedding! He was fantastic! Everyone raved about the music and how excellent the DJ was! We cannot thank him enough! I would very gladly refer anyone I know to use your service! Jeff is the best!!!

Tony was amazing1 The dance floor was never empty and he played the perfect music all night. I would highly recommend Music By Design to anyone. Thank you Tony for making our night perfect.

Jack went above and beyond our expectations! So easy to work and helped to solve a problem that wasn't his responsibility. We will definitely recommend him to our friends! Thanks for a great night!

I was absolutely satisfied with David. I cannot begin to explain and tell you how many compliments we got with our DJ choice. As the night when on, I realized that I had no reason for concern I was able to put ALL my trust in David. I always envisioned the dance floor to be packed at my wedding, and he far exceeded that ALL night. I would and WILL recommend Music By Design to all my friends! I think he came in at a great time because my friends and I are all at the age where we are starting to get married. He certainly made an excellent first impression and I am SURE he will get more service because of the amazing job he did at our event!!!

Tony did an outstanding job!!! He was very responsive and flexible, listened to our preferences and based his music choices on our tastes to keep our entire group on the dance floor the whole night!! We are so happy that we hired Music by Design, they were the most professional of all our vendors and we would highly recommend them!! They took care of everything we asked for, and more!, from the very beginning of working with them!!

We couldn't be more pleased with all the work at the event by Music by Design. The DJ's enthusiasm, organization, and playlists were phenomenal. Music by Design created a positive, fun, family atmosphere for all to enjoy. We couldn't be happier!I would highly recommend Music by Design to everybody! They were extremely prepared, professional, and a pleasure to work with. We couldn't have asked for a better music venue for our event! We cannot thank you enough.Many smiles,Liz Fahey

The music was great and the night couldn't have been any better. I was really happy with the dinner music. I liked that almost everything if not all the songs we wanted were in the dinner music. We had many compliments on that. Also thank you for playing the slide show and making the decision to wait until dinner to play it. You did a great job and we would recommend you and your company to anyone. Thanks for making our night special.

Music by Design was an amazing choice to DJ our reception. We were able to pick almost all songs that were played, and they followed our "Do Not Play" requests. You are basically able to customize exactly what you want!!

They are a great choice when you want amazing music, without the "annoying" stereotypical DJ that is always on the mic or trying to dance with bridesmaids. They understand that they are there to do their job, and not be a character.

Out of all the vendors my husband and I had to work with, this company was definitely the most pleasant. Before the wedding, anytime we called with questions they were always available and willing to help. They were very flexible in the planning of the wedding. We even had to add a screen and projector last minute, and they were completely fine with it. They told us in our first meeting that they will do whatever we want because it's OUR wedding, not theirs. They lived up to that promise.

Our DJ, Jack was AMAZING. He kept us completely worry free and we were able to enjoy our wedding. He kept everything running smoothly. We were truely impressed with him on all levels, and I even got compliments from my guests on how great he was. You could really tell that he loves what he does and genuinely cares about his clients. That is SO hard to find in the wedding industry.

We also admire the fact that music by design is true to their word. They don't try to change things or prices last minute like a lot of the companies did. That is so reassuring and we would definitely reccomend them to anyone!!

Excellent work. Music By Design helped make our wedding an outstanding time and a memorable event. Jeff was great and very open to our music suggestions and preferences. Our guests loved the music and the wedding. Thank you.

David is such a pleasure to work with!

Music by Design is a top preferred vendor at Bull Valley Golf Club. David's years of experience, knowledge, and creativity with Music makes him a fantastic DJ for all Brides to work with!

Fantastic Company!!! Offer up a professional, fun and entertaining evening!

It is always a pleasure working with this company. The DJs are professional, polite and really know how to help people have a great time! The dance floor is always packed and their sound system is amazing. They also make sure that all the right vendors are ready for the events (such as the garter toss etc.) before they happen.
