Real Reviews from Couples Who Made Their Wedding Unforgettable with Funktastic Productions


Planning a wedding means making dozens of big decisions — but for our couples, choosing Funktastic Productions was one of the easiest (and most impactful) calls they made.


From epic dance floors to emotional moments during the ceremony, Funktastic brings a level of energy, talent, and professionalism that transforms events into experiences guests rave about for years.

Don’t just take our word for it — here’s what real couples had to say about working with us:

⭐ “Hands-Down One of the Best Decisions We Made” — Phoebe T.

📍 Venue: Morgan's on Fulton

“We had the absolute pleasure of working with DJ Servaun for our wedding at Lacuna Lofts, and he was hands-down one of the best decisions we made for our big day. From the very beginning, he was easy to work with and genuinely excited to bring our vision to life.”

Why this matters: At Funktastic Productions, we don’t just provide a random set list — we collaborate with you to customize the soundtrack to your love story. Our band and DJ work closely with couples to blend their personal music tastes with crowd-pleasing hits that keep guests dancing all night.


⭐ “SO MUCH Talent and Energy!” — Leah B.

📍 Venue: Marriott Lincolnshire

“I can't tell you how many people mentioned the band as a highlight of our wedding. Funktastic brought ALL. THE. ENERGY. SO MUCH talent!! They went above and beyond, learning a last-minute song we requested, accompanying my friends during their speech, and playing the funktastic-est rendition of the horah I've ever heard. Also loved their photobooth, which we added last minute! Thank you so much to Mike and team!”

Why this matters: We pride ourselves on being flexible, creative, and guest-focused. From custom song requests to interactive surprises, our live band makes every wedding feel personal and unforgettable. And our photo booth rentals bring a whole new layer of fun to the reception.


⭐ “One of the Most Joyous Moments of My Life”

📍 Venue: Salvage One – Chicago, IL

“Look no further — this is your band for funk, soul, hip-hop, afro-beats, even house. I knew they would be good because I knew one of their bass players from back when I was young and hip, and they absolutely exceeded expectations. Dancing to their cover of Big Pimpin is one of the most joyous moments of my life. On the other hand, they learned an oldie that's sentimental for our elders, and even nailed an Herb Alpertjoint for our first dance. Thank you Funktastic!!!”

Why this matters: A full-service entertainment experience means consistency and seamless transitions. Our ceremony musicians, cocktail hour ensembles, and reception band/DJ work in harmony to deliver a smooth, unforgettable flow throughout the day.


⭐ “An Atmosphere That Was Electric from Start to Finish” — DJ + Sax Combo

📍 Venue: Lacuna Lofts – Chicago, IL

“What truly set the night apart was the live saxophonist, Ryan, playing over all of DJ Servaun's sets — such a cool, unforgettable twist that everyone enjoyed. The blend of live music with the high energy of the DJ mixes created an atmosphere that was electric from start to finish! Our guests still haven't stopped raving. The dance floor was packed all night and the energy never let up.”

Why this matters: One of our signature offerings is the DJ Hybrid — combining a professional DJ with live musicians like saxophone, trumpet, drums, or electric violin. These combos create a high-energy, club-like experience that keeps the dance floor packed.
