  Best wedding DJ ever! You need to hire Duerell if you are getting married and want an awesome dance party. Duerell provided incredible service from start to finish and the... read more music was the best of any wedding I have been to (in my very biased opinion). The dance floor was packed from start to finish and guests of all ages were dancing. Duerell did an amazing job catering to music for all ages-everyone keeps telling me how amazing the DJ at our wedding was. I can't recommend Duerell and Spark Entertainment Group more highly!

  Before starting the wedding planning process, I never imagined myself spending a lot time with selecting a DJ for our wedding. We spent about 3 months interviewing DJ's, but none... read more of them felt like, "the one". I also realized that the DJ plays an important role in the wedding reception and that we needed the perfect person that could create the right atmosphere for our guests.

We met with DJ Jones in his comfortable River North office on a Sunday afternoon. We were with him for about an hour and a half and were totally blown away by him. He came across as someone that was experienced and knowledgeable in his field.

Before the wedding, he always responded to my many emails quickly.

On the day of the wedding, he did an outstanding job at keeping our guests out on the dance floor. The dance floor was never empty and many guests commented on how well he did.

  HIRE HIM NOW IF YOU WANT THE BEST!!! No competition! Duerell was the DJ/MC for my wedding on April 13th, 2019 and if I could give him 1 Billion stars... read more I would! He is the best there is! My husband and I couldn't have hired a better DJ/MC for our wedding day! Duerell is truly unmatched! He is extremely attentive, organized, professional, and passionate. He is well versed in ALL genres of music! The first time we met with Duerell we knew we didnt need to look any further! His office space downtown is amazing and he truly caters to his clients. He has an online database that allows you to put in all the information for your wedding from how to pronounce people's names who are in the wedding party to choosing your must play songs, "play if you can" songs, don't play songs, etc. The database is extremely helpful and allows you to organize your wedding day. It also allows Duerell to know what genres you want played and dont want played at your wedding. Duerell also knows how to get everyone on the dance floor. He had EVERYONE dancing at our reception. He can cater to any audience and can hype any crowd. He wants to create you dream day and make your vision come to life and he is successful doing it! My husband and I have vowed to use Duerell for all our music needs! We will also be hiring him in 10 years for our vow renewal. He is the best, so there is no need to look further.

  Amazing experience with d.j. jones. The event was a hospital Christmas party and even though the people who came to the party weren't in the dancing mood and more in... read more the hungry mood he did a great job in selecting the music and engaging the crowd and managed even if it was for a lil bit get everyone moving and shaking. I definitely will recommend durrell for anyone looking for a professional and (well dressed ) understanding d.j. for any occasion.

  Duerrel was wonderful from start to finish. He was quick to respond to all of our emails and questions throughout the planning process. He makes everything super easy with an... read more online booking system in order to make payments and sign the contract upon booking.

After that, there is a great online planning tool to use to make the timeline, songs that "must be played", songs for the "do not play list" and all of your entrance and specialty dance songs. He even offers uplighting, specialty moving gobos, a beautiful white facade for the DJ booth, and several other ways to enhance his display.

We had a face to face meeting to go through our musical styles and vision for the night. He took our ideas and ran with them and the night was even better than we imagined.

He is so fun and keeps the dance floor going all night with his high energy! There was never a point in the night where the dance floor was empty. He seamlessly goes from one song to the next without skipping a beat. It seemed that each song was better than the last.

If you have any questions at all, just book with DJ Jones! I promise you won't regret it.

Thank you Duerrel, for literally being the life of the party!

  Best Chicago DJ. If you are looking for professionalism, great music, happy wedding guests and a smooth set, you need to checkout  DJ Jones. He puts in the work from... read more beginning to end of the wedding planning process. He will do pre-wedding venue walk throughs months before to assure you have the proper setup. He spins his own mixes as well as plays the classics and hits on the radio today. He made sure the entire reception went on without a hitch. He creates a party atmosphere that leaves no guest in their seat. He's prompt, polite and very personable. He does more than just weddings as well, as he can liven up any event.

  So words cannot describe how awesome DJ Djones was for our wedding. We booked him for our wedding last week and he was truly awesome to work with from the... read more start. He's professional and open to ideas and gave several suggestions. He had an agenda for the entire day from music for our ceremony to cocktail hour through the rest of the night. He also has an amazing feel for the audience that he plays for and picks the perfect kind of songs to keep the party going. He had all of our friends dancing until the very last song. I would not even hesitate to book him again. Even the manager at the venue we were at complemented his professionalism.
