    Wedding Reception DJ Services

    My husband and I picked Extreme DJs and Lighting for our wedding reception this past July and had a great experience working with them! Buster was very responsive to our questions and very helpful in the planning process. He helped us plan out the reception timeline and he was able to provide pictures and videos of similar venues to ours. We purchased uplighting for our venue in addition to the DJ services and am so glad we did! The extra lighting helped light up the room once it started get dark and made the atmosphere fun! Andrew was our DJ for our reception and he did an amazing job keeping our guests on the dance floor! He played a majority of the songs we had put on our list of songs we wanted to hear. Overall, a great team to work with and made our big day go smooth! I would recommend booking them for your wedding!

    Highly recommend!!

    Buster at Extreme DJs & Lighting was super great to work with! He was well prepared, organized, and the entire day (ceremony + reception) timeline went perfectly! If I had any questions or concerns before the day, he was always quick to respond and helpful. And our guests were on the dance floor all night with his playlist! Highly recommend!

    Amazing, detail-oriented, problem solver, friendly, accomodating.

    Buster made our wedding go very smoothly and put us at ease on our whole day. He knows all your details, can help you put your timeline together and keep you on time! He met with all the vendors and filled any gap's as far as a wedding planner goes. He has a ton of great ideas, is tech-savvy and we are so happy we chose him for our DJ.

    Stress free and meticulous

    Extreme DJs & Lighting was an amazing vendor to work with! Prior to the wedding Buster helped plan our timeline for the wedding day and offered countless insights to what would best serve our wedding guests. He actually recommended us move our wedding back half an hour to cut out unnecessary time between the wedding and reception. Buster came to set up his equipment the day before while my family and I were decorating the reception hall. He offered helpful advice such as counting the chairs at each table after we were done decorating to prevent issues during the reception. No one at the venue hall recommended that. We found tables with less chairs than they were suppose to have which saved confusion for our guests. Buster allows you to make a playlist prior to the wedding for the music you’d like playing during the reception. I spent a lot of time working on that because I knew my guest like to dance. Buster took my playlist recommendations and blew me away! There were people on the dance floor the entire reception! Countless guests have mentioned to me how amazing our DJ was. I used the lighting service Buster provides but didn’t want the lights to be too flashy as I didn’t want it to bother my guests. Buster did a great job of working the lights to fit the music but not be too flashy. The lights added such fun addition! I cannot recommend Extreme DJs and Lighting enough!

    Amazing DJ who can adjust to the room and get the dance floor full and hyped

    Extreme DJs was amazing to work with! Buster not only killed it at the DJ booth but also helped us with a lot of preperation ideas and timing. He made the night go seemlessly especially when reading the dance floor for the music. He adjusted based on the mood and also went extra time to finish the night off!

    Awesome experience!

    We were so lucky to get to work with Extreme DJs & Lighting for our wedding reception. Buster was extremely knowledgeable and responsive every step of the way. He shared his experience of what works and what doesn’t as we were first constructing the event schedule (also, putting this schedule together was hugely helpful) - it was so helpful to have an “expert opinion” on our decisions. We were able to meet in person to see examples of spot lighting, as well as pictures from many, many examples of reception lighting they’d done. The website’s customer portal was well organized, and kept us organized! We were able to choose songs we’d like played, as well as a do-not-play list. The actual wedding reception was amazing - the room was beautiful (we went with spot lighting along with the more “standard” up lighting and loved how it made each table look!), the music was the perfect volume both during dinner and during the reception, and Buster was a polished, faultless emcee as well as DJ. Once the dancing started, the dance floor was full for the entire night! Our reception was amazing, and so much credit goes to Buster. If you have the opportunity to work with him, I would definitely recommend it!

    Very pleased with the service!

    Buster did an awesome job DJing our wedding. He helped with keeping the party going and is great at reading the crowd. He also created a personalized lighted dance floor for us with cafe lights. Making our wedding vision come to life. He is very knowledgeable and helpful in creating timelines and knowing what is going to make a venue work.

    We had an awesome experience with Extreme DJ's and Lighting

    Buster was so helpful to us throughout the whole process of planning our wedding and I am talking beyond just the music aspect. He has a ton of experience and was so knowledgeable at helping us to talk through timeline, room set up, and flow of the evening. Buster completely delivered the night of the wedding and everyone including myself had a blast dancing all night long (Literally)! I also recommend utilizing him for up lighting as well, that turned the party up a notch at the end of the night but was also beautiful in our room earlier in the evening. I HIGHLY recommend using Extreme DJ's and Lighting. They are reliable, responsive, and GOOD at what they do!

    Excellent experience and service!

    Buster was a thrill to work with from the planning stages all the way through the ceremony and reception! He is extremely knowledgeable and professional and was a great help with keeping us on schedule throughout the night. The gorgeous up-lighting he provided was an added benefit. Could not recommend him more for your special day!

    Fantastic Experience

    Working with Buster and Extreme DJs was great. He answered our many questions and walked us through the whole timeline of the event, offering suggestions based on his years of experience. Very affordable prices, and we’re excited to have him help us celebrate another event next year! Would highly recommend to friends and family.

    Chastain Wedding at Venue Chisca

    Buster was the perfect DJ! We had a very mixed age group on the dance floor, and he was able to really read the crowd and play a wide variety of music that kept people dancing all night!

    Experienced DJ who creates a seamless and fun reception!

    Working with Buster and Extreme DJ and Lighting for our wedding was an amazing experience. We really wanted to avoid a lot of cheesy reception traditions and to prioritize our guests’ experience at the reception and Buster helped us think through what the day would look like for them. We had multiple calls prior to the wedding to talk through logistics- these calls answered all of my questions and helped us align on the atmosphere we wanted to create. Buster was very responsive to when I reached out, proactively provided information, and helped us keep track of deadlines. Additionally, Buster had a lot of knowledge about our venue and was able to provide perspective and experience about the best use of the space. I would definitely recommend Extreme DJ and Lighting Services!

    Amazing DJ Experience from Planning to the actual Wedding Day!

    Could not be more happier with the DJ experience that Buster and Extreme DJ's and Lighting provided for our wedding! What Buster does to coordinate your timeline so that the actual wedding day flows seamlessly was exactly what we were looking for. The best part of planning was when we were in agreement that the Chicken Dance or Cha Cha Slide was 100% DO NOT PLAY for our wedding before we even booked him. Then when it came to the day of Buster did an amazing job using songs from our preferred play list but also hits that kept the dance floor moving. We knew our wedding party was a fun group but the DJ played a major part in keeping the dance floor going strong until 11PM on a Sunday and then even did an encore song right at 11! Book Extreme DJ's and lighting and you will not be disappointed. We were so happy with their assistance!

    Amazing Night!

    Out of the other DJ companies that we've reviewed prior to our wedding, Extreme DJs & Lighting  was by far the best pick! Buster helped us not stress so much over the music/reception hosting by meeting with us  in person, explaining the plans and everything else in great detail.  During the wedding reception, Emily (the DJ) was AMAZING! Not only was she very professional towards all of our guests/family, she also ensured that our night ran very smoothly. She was very kind and very fun to be around! Thank you so much Extreme DJs & Lighting for making our night a very memorable one. I definitely recommend this company to anyone who is looking for a professional business that has reasonable prices. Thank you! - William & Olivia

    Excellent!

    We could not be happier with our experience working with Buster at Extreme DJs & Lighting!! He goes above and beyond to ensure his weddings are perfect. From planning the evening's timeline, to developing the venue floor plan and of course lighting and music, Buster has a wealth of knowledge from his experience. Our wedding was perfect! The dance floor was never empty and my family and friends are still talking about how much fun they had! 10/10 recommend.

    Easy Process and Great Advice

    Buster and his company were fantastic to work with for our wedding day. He helped us go through the timeline of the wedding day and offered advice on a number of things that I didn't expect from a DJ. He has a great system in place that makes the process easy and keeps him informed about anything music related he needs to know. He also wasn't pushy about selling us any upgrades, but did show us the up-lighting option and all I can say is DO IT!! The up-lighting took the reception/dancing to another level!
    Thanks for everything Buster!

    I love Buster! He went above and beyond for our wedding reception!! His eye for detail is unmatched, as he made the lighting at our Peoria Zoo reception a highlight of the night. He also was a HUGE part in making our reception timeline seamless! I am so thankful I booked him for our wedding!

    Great music and experience

    We are “seniors”. Our group included friends, adult children and some younger grandchildren. Our DJ played music that appealed to all. We had a great time. Buster was easy to work with in the planning and the online forms easy to work with. We highly recommend them!

    Highly Recommend

    ExtremeDJs and Lighting did the lighting for my daughter's wedding. They were excellent - very responsive, flexible, accommodating and professional. The facility needed our lighting removed the night of the wedding to make ready for another wedding the next day. Buster was there at midnight to take down the lighting with a pleasant can do attitude. Also of note their lighting is on dimmers which is a detail we might not have thought of but was very useful in changing the lighting to match the different events of the evening. Buster was delightful to work with - and his work "lit" up the room. I would highly recommend Extreme DJs and Lighting!
