I recently hired a the Talent City Artists's team for DJ, photography, videography, photo booth, LED dance floor, and uplighting services for an event, and I couldn't be happier! The DJ kept the energy high with an incredible playlist, while the photographers captured every moment beautifully. The videography was top-notch, ensuring we have lasting memories. The photo booth was a hit, providing fun props and instant prints for guests. The LED dance floor added a vibrant touch, and the uplighting transformed the venue atmosphere. The entire team was professional, friendly, and attentive to our needs. Highly recommend for any event!
WONDERFUL, PERFECT experience!! Corey made my wedding (ceremony and reception) all that I wanted and MORE! He was always very detailed and professional and organized during our conversations and steps leading up to the wedding day. He arrived early, was very professional, nice and excited to make my day perfect, as he did. He didn't mispronounce any of the names, played the exact music that I requested at the right time and on point. He got the vibe going and had everyone on the dance floor throughout the night, dancing and having a great time. All my guests complimented on how great the DJ was and the music he played and how fun the photo booth was. Corey is a true master at his profession and did an amazing job! I definitely recommend him to anyone that needs DJ, up lighting, photo booth, LED dance floor and limo. HIRE COREY IF YOU WANT YOUR WEDDING TO BE EVERYTHING YOU EXPECTED AND MORE!!
Thank you so much! Words can’t express how happy I am that Corey & Andrew were a part of our special day. Not only are they extremely talented musicians but they were constantly making sure that everyone was engaged and enjoying themselves. I had quite a few special requests and they granted them without hesitation. People are still telling me a week after our wedding how amazing the music was and how they never wanted to stop dancing! We had a DJ, a trumpet player, percussionist, and drummer. TCA is the way to go! Thank you so much!
I'm a wedding officiant & master hair stylist in Chicago and recently referred Talent City Artists to perform at one of my clients daughters weddings. They provided Video, Photo Booth, Ceremony Pianist, DJ and lighting services at Chateau Busche in Alsip. Corey and his team did an amazing job and even had the video edit completed for my friends in under a week after the wedding. I highly recommend Talent City Artists for all wedding services they provide.
Response from Talent City Artists:
Mary it was a pleasure working with you and your good friends for their wedding this past year. We look forward to working with you on many more amazing weddings.
Talent City Artists Photography made me feel so comfortable on my Wedding day. 'Comfortable' because I knew that they would not only get the job done (punctual, professional, great quality, etc.) but comfortable in the sense that I was working with true artists.
I felt at such peace working with them prior to my big day because they walked me through everything step-by-step and I always felt freedom because they wanted what I wanted. I feel like it is rare today to find professionals with true heart and talent behind every inch of their work.
Kim and Corey were amazing to work with- they captured every beautiful moment of our day and turned our photos into masterpieces that I will cherish forever. I'll never go anywhere else after experiencing what they can do."
As far as the DJ services, we actually hired them as well. Our DJ was Christophe. We didn't find out until our wedding that they are actually husband and wife. It made the night much smoother knowing how well the two of them worked together and they ran a tight ship. Christophe had our dance floor packed all night and the guests are still raving about him months later.
I highly recommend Christophe, Corey & Kim for your wedding, they are an amazing team.
Response from Talent City Artists:
Rex thank you for the wonderful review as well as your referral Emily & Chris:) They called us today and booked me as there DJ and Christophe will be running the photo booth at the Omni Hotel on Michigan Avenue next September. They were smart like you and booked there vendors early. You get the best of the best this way. Thanks again and we look forward to seeing you again next year.
DJ Christophe did an exceptional job with the music at my wedding he helped create a memorable night with a diverse crowd and a very unique, fun vibe. It was amazing to see our families letting loose, dancing, mingling and connecting to each other through music and celebration.
My Husband is from India and Christophe new Bollywood Bhangra and Raas. We were surprised and during our initial meeting with Talent City we learned they have done weddings for almost every ethnicity on earth so we felt very comfortable using them. After talking to Corey further we found out they offer Photography, Photo Booth and Video too so we used them for that and were extremely pleased with our pictures. We couldn't be happier with the professionalism and results, we highly recommend Talent City.
Right from our first meeting, Corey, John & Jake from Talent City 'got' us and exactly the sort of photography, video and DJ service we were after for our wedding.
When our wedding venue cancelled, They went far and beyond the call of duty for wedding vendors, and Corey called us with a list of 6 venues they thought we might like, based on our conversations - we later ended up booking one and absolutely adored it., They were unobtrusive, friendly and fun, and put all of our guests at ease too, and we love all the photos - as evidenced by us not making any changes or removing any photos from our online and physical albums and our dance floor was packed all night. Not only are these guys incredibly good at what they do, they're fabulous people - in short, everything you could wish for in wedding pros!
