Since our beginning, we have provided a level of disc jockey services far and above the common mobile DJ. Spinnin’ Discs is a full-time business operating from our corporate offices in Arlington Heights and Northbrook, Illinois.

In an effort to provide our clients with a solution to their live entertainment needs, we purchased Rent A Band Live Entertainment Services in July of 2002 adding live entertainment to our entertainment choices. With the success of our acquisition of Rent A Band, we also purchased Celebration Consultants Inc. in January of 2003. This has allowed us the largest selection of bands, orchestras, cocktail and ceremony musicians in the Chicagoland area. 

Since these acquisitions, we now also have the ability to supply our clients with national acts such a Bill Cosby, Jay Leno, The Temptations, Rick Springfield, as well as many national touring acts. In addition to our live entertainment, we can also supply our clients with celebrities for meet and greets, dance troupes, Cirque du Soleil shows, touring broadway styled acts, Las Vegas styled magic shows, plus so much more. 

Endorsements
KC and his staff are very professional. They cater to all your needs and also to all your guests no matter what age. Depending on your budget you can go all out and have the best interactive reception filled with party favors maraca's and more. Get your entire guest party involved memories that will last forever. I have worked with Kc personally and they are there with you guiding you from the start to the end. There are so many fly by night companies out there now a days that cut prices for you to only find out they also cut corners and that's not what you want on your wedding day. If fun, professional and great people to work with that have been around for a long time is what you are looking for then I would recommend "Spinnin Discs" for your event.

If you're having an event in the Chicago area, don't hesitate to call on K.C. and Spinnin' Discs! Your event will be in great hands and your friends will dance the night away!
We've worked shoulder to shoulder with these guys at dozens of events. As a photographer It's always a relief to find out that the entertainment is being handled by these pros. The sound is great, the DJ's are great, and the lighting is high tech. They work really closely with photo and video to make sure their clients get amazing fun filled coverage of the latter half of their day and night. Best wishes as you continue planning your wedding day. Hopefully you've already booked with Spinnin'! -A Modern Image Studios Photographer
