Great job and would definitely hire them again!

Our son's wedding was September 23, 2023 and we had an excellent night of fantastic music! Everyone was out on the dance floor having fun throughout the whole night! It was an enjoyable evening and the wedding guests spent every moment dancing! Awesome sound system! We attribute the good fun to a fantastic DJ Corey! Great job and would definitely hire them again!

The party never stopped!

Highland preferred was an incredible DJ service from start to finish! Paula was amazing! From the first phone call to the weeks leading up. She was so organized with helping set up our timeline and lists of songs. We had DJ JT Strapp as our DJ for our wedding and he was amazing! Stuck with the timeline and did a great job with keeping the party going all night! Would highly recommend Highland preferred!

Best Photographers in Chicago

We arrived and we were immediately greeted by Kamil's partner who made us feel so welcomed and was so helpful. We were a little early so Kamil was with another family at the time however Kamil's assistant gave us a tour and made some wonderful suggestions of some of her favorite spots. When it was time for our photo shoot, this made things move quickly and smoothly. Aubrey was friendly, professional, and made us feel very comfortable. We received or proofs in less than a week and they turned out great. We are very happy and most definitely will be booking another session next year when our baby arrives. Highly recommended.
