Truly we cannot thank Hank enough for making our day even more special!!!
Working with Hank was great, he arrived on time and played the best dance music. We are recommending him to our golf club.
Response from Hankster's Entertainment Service:
Thank you, Beverley, for your review. It was truly a pleasure meeting & working with you. That was a fun 70th birthday party event for Richard. I had a wonderful time meeting him & interacting with everyone. I received a lot of compliments afterwards. You told me when we first started our discussion about your event that the folks who will be in attendance like to dance. Boy did they ever! That dance area was going on for almost 2 hours! Thank you for taking my business card & recommending me to the golf club. I've had two previous events over the years at Corte Bella Golf Club. Hope to return there on a more regular basis.
Hank followed through in every way!

Thank you, Sam, for your review. It was truly a pleasure meeting & working with you. That was really a fun event. I had a wonderful time meeting & interacting with everyone. A great bunch of people.
Hank arrived early and set up everything, he had a great sound system set up in two different locations for both reception and cocktail hour.
Hank played a great setlist during dinner and dancing, and was very engaged and energetic with our guests! Hank did a great job running the show, letting everyone know when the keystone events were happening!
Hank was still playing songs even as things were packed up, he was one of the first to arrive and last to leave! A+ service all around!!

Thank you, Kurt, for your wonderful review. I enjoyed working with you. You & Ellie make a wonderful couple. I wish you both all the best that your new lives as Man & Wife have to offer. God Bless.
Our event was an 80th Birthday Party outside on our patio. There were guests of all ages including teens. Hank did an awesome job playing music for everyone to enjoy. I appreciated his communicating with me before and during the party. I would definitely recommend Hankster's Entertainment Service.

Thank you, Linda, for your wonderful review. I hugely appreciate it. Enjoyed meeting you & the birthday man Gordie. He looks great for his age! I told him that when I met him. A great night & we even got sprinkled at the end with some much-needed rain. Thank you again for hiring me.
Hank DJ’d my company party at my house. He was awesome! He showed up on time and was very professional. He had every song we requested. He rocked the house! Would definitely use them again!

As a professional DJ Hankster has been spinning tunes for 40 years. A perfectionist, his love of music started while in the United States Air Force in 1981. There while in Iceland his eclectic combination of musical selections brought therapy to troops while isolated overseas. Hankster made a name for himself once back home in Chicago by continuing spinning tunes for veteran’s home, working with top DJ companies, and high-profile establishments (DJ & Tiger Entertainment Services, Sean Alcock’s Bar, TJ Flannery’s) all which became infused with his own love for both 80s music and classic couples’ songs.
Today, this translates into sets for weddings, holiday parties, large celebrations, or small personal settings where he remains ahead of the game with long flowing mixes that seamlessly blend one track into the next. Hankster can take control of any event, by offering professional announcements, coordinating events, working with event coordinators, wedding planners or just get everyone up and dancing.
