We're so beyond happy with Best Life Entertainment and DJ Kris. From our first planning phone call when my now husband and I were discussing our vision, we felt confident that DJ Kris would be able to deliver and he exceeded our expectations in all regards. His energy, the music, the organization behind the scenes, the ease of working with him--all of it was amazing. He even surprised us by recording the speeches during the reception, which was another bonus. My husband and I both said that we'd love to attend any event where DJ Kris is performing because he is that good! Don't hesitate--DJ Kris and Best Life Entertainment are the best of the best.

Kris and the Best Life team were amazing! We loved how Kris thought of every single music-related detail, from the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to the reception, and everything in between. Our guests LOVED the music selection and we were on the dance floor all night long!

I can't say enough good things about Kris and Best Life Entertainment! From our first call with him, my husband and I connected with Kris's good energy and personality. He was organized throughout our whole wedding planning process. He ensured that every special moment was covered with a song or curated playlist. He was very accommodating with using our specific songs, playing certain parts, and even modifying songs for us. He truly made our wedding day so special and set the mood at every point. I would highly recommend working with Kris and Best Life Entertainment for any upcoming event if you want a flawless, high-energy organized event!

Kris is hands-down the best decision we made for our wedding! From the moment we booked him, he went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. He totally got our vibe, effortlessly blending the music we love with the energy of the crowd. He kept the day running smoothly, ensuring every moment went off without a hitch, and had every single guest on their feet from the very first song to the last dance.
What really stood out was Kris’s ability to mix songs and read the room—it’s not something you see every day. He created the perfect flow throughout the evening, from romantic slow dances to high-energy hits that kept everyone having the time of their lives. He didn’t just DJ; he truly set the tone for the best night of our lives. Kris made our wedding feel so special, personal, and so us.
From start to finish, Kris was professional, reliable, and so much fun to work with. He made the planning process feel effortless and took the stress out of such a big part of the day. We couldn’t stop smiling—or dancing—all night long. So many of our guests are still raving about how incredible he was!
If you’re looking for a DJ who will go above and beyond to make your event unforgettable, look no further than Kris. He’s truly a master at what he does, and we can’t recommend him enough! Book him now—you won’t regret it!

My husband and I attended a wedding which was a blast- and we highly attributed it to the DJ which carried the night. I personally listen to different music usually but the vibes and mixing were so great we got the DJ’s info since we needed someone for our wedding. Since we got in touch with Best Life, Kristian was incredibly communicative. There was so much planning I didn’t even realize which set up everything to match our vision, so much so that the DJ’s were selected for what we wanted the music and style to be. Mikey and CJ were incredibly personable, caring, and truly prioritized our taste and vision for the day. They made time to meet with us to solidify our plans as well. It wouldn’t have been the same without them. We selected them after experiencing them personally, and would continue to recommend them for any weddings or celebrations!

We worked with CJ at Best Life and it was one of the best decisions we made while planning our wedding. Not only was CJ a fantastic MC for the reception, but he turned our reception into a huge dance party - exactly like we wanted. He was a consummate professional, easy to work with and was prompt and easy to communicate with. He took the time to learn about our musical taste, made it easy to show him our wide/diverse musical interests, and curated an absolutely perfect sound for our wedding! 10/10 would absolutely recommend!

DJ Kris was our DJ for our wedding in October, both him and CJ were amazing! They were super easy to work with from the start, they were very thorough with our music selections/the vibes we were going for and they totally nailed it on the big day! So many of our guests couldn’t stop raving about how great the music was. If you want a fun and stress-free DJ experience, this is the one to book. Highly recommend!

BOOK THIS DJ RIGHT NOW. Truly, Kris and his team blew us away on our wedding day. The planning process was smooth, it was so easy to communicate with them, and our dance floor was electric. We had multiple friends of ours say that the dance floor was the best they’ve had at a wedding, and we have Best Life to thank for that. I couldn’t recommend this DJ enough!

DJ Kuya Kris with Best Life Entertainment made our wedding so much more fun because of his skilled mixing. I always envisioned my wedding DJ to take the songs we request and actually mix them seamlessly and DJ Kris did just that! We are beyond impressed with his work and professionalism from the planning process to the day of our wedding. He definitely delivered the vibes we had hoped for! 100/10 would recommend to anyone getting married or wants to throw a fun party! A lot of our guests were raving about the music and DJ we had at our wedding :)

If you consider yourself a "music person" or are a control freak about the vibe of your day or have been to so many weddings you are nervous of what a DJ might deliver on the day, DJ Kris and Best Life Entertainment are the pick for you. From our first call with DJ Kris, it was clear that he was the only person we trusted with our wedding. We geeked out over music, he asked all the right questions, and it was genuinely important to him that he respected and learned about the LGBTQIA+ community in preparation for the day. We were able to plan some of my VERY specific visions when it came to music and it never felt like a burden to ask for what we wanted. From the music before the ceremony, throughout dinner & cocktail hour, and then keeping EVERYONE out on the dance floor all night, DJ Kris delivered and then some. He did the perfect job of mixing the music so there was never dead space, we were never waiting for the next song to play, and he was not one of those DJ's that talked throughout the ceremony to take away from the music/day overall. Plus his kindness and excitement during the day was the exact energy we needed and wanted. Booking through Best Life Entertainment and knowing that who we talked to on the very first interview was the exact person we were going to get the day of was SO important to us. We were beyond grateful for DJ Kris and the BLE team for truly being the best DJ partner we could ask for on our wedding day. Thank you Kris for being such a great part of our day and delivering above and beyond what we could have dreamed!

Best Life Entertainment's DJ Kristian is THE best. We flew him from Chicago to our wedding in Dallas as we simply had to have him. We trusted our entire day with him, giving him direction for music and letting him fill in the gaps. Not to mention, we needed songs completely remixed, changed and extended for dances and he was able to turn it around in minutes. We've know him for a long time, he's DJ'd our corporate events, our friend's wedding and now ours. There are not enough words to describe how much we truly recommend him!

CJ, Kristian, and Mikey are the best DJs in Chicago hands down! CJ and Kristian helped me with the timeline planning and thoroughly answered any questions I had. Music is a huge part of the wedding experience, and Best Life Entertainment made sure I felt completely at ease with the whole process. On the big day, Kristian was my DJ and executed my vision perfectly! It was the best day ever. Book with Best Life Entertainment if you want your dance floor packed all night, a stress-free experience, and to work together with a highly professional and creative team that can make your dream wedding wishes come true! I had a few surprise dance performances that Kristian helped me execute with ease on the big day as well! I also highly recommend adding their uplighting to your package, it really made the atmosphere and vibe of our wedding elevated!

The most complimented part of our wedding was the DJ. Kristian from Best Life Entertainment was outstanding. His MC'ing skills were a perfect balance of personable and professional, and his DJ'ing skills were what made our wedding so much fun. He didn't just play a playlist. He actually mixed music - music we and our guests loved - and read the room (i.e. dancefloor) so well. If there was even the slightest dip in energy, he changed the tone. Truly could not recommend Best Life Entertainment more!

Kris was AMAZING from the time we booked with him right up until the end of our wedding night. He worked with us on our vision and was super helpful with his recommendations. Everything flowed so smoothly, and when it came to the dance floor he knew how to get everyone going:) Can't thank him enough for helping to make our wedding so special and infusing an incredible amount of fun into the evening.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Kris & CJ. They made the pre- planning process extremely easy and Kris absolutely killed the DJ set at our wedding. Music was one of the most important things to us and he played the exact genres/music we wanted. He remixed a lot of songs and made the transitions between songs seamless. He also MC’d our announcements, walks outs, first dances and did an amazing job with that too. The best DJ I’ve worked with in the events industry to date!

We had the pleasure of seeing Kristian’s work during our friend’s wedding back in 2019 and then again at another wedding in 2021. We were floored by the energy and talent that Kristian and his colleagues from Best Life Entertainment brought to the dance floor. When we first got engaged, we knew right away that we wanted him to be the DJ for our wedding even before we figured out any other details. Best Life Entertainment was the first vendor that we booked right after securing our date and venue.
From our first consultation call, Kristian was nothing short of kind, attentive, and personable. He understood our vision and helped us create a playlist that reflected our taste. He knew exactly how to read the crowd and ensured that our dance floor was vibing all night. Our guests were so impressed and we got SO many compliments on how good the music was. Some of our friends even mentioned that they didn’t know it was possible for a wedding DJ to play like that.
When we were indecisive about which venue to pick, Kristian went out of his way to pull videos of when he worked a wedding at those venues to help us decide. When we had specific songs in mind for the procession and the bridal entrance but were unable to edit it ourselves, Kristian did not hesitate to help us edit and make the transition of the songs seamless. When we had to change our wedding date and plan on a shortened timeline, Kristian was very understanding and accommodating.
Beyond the music, Kristian handled all announcements with ease and double-checked to make sure he read everyone's name correctly. He helped keep our wedding on track and flowing smoothly through the night. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ for our wedding day and would not hesitate to recommend him to our friends. If you’re looking for someone talented, professional, and who truly cares about your wedding day, look no further than Best Life Entertainment. Thank you again for making our day so memorable!!

Our experience with Best Life was top notch. CJ and Christian made the planning process extremely easy. We felt comfortable discussing our musical interests, plan for the wedding, and overall vision. They both gave great feedback and were very helpful in putting together the music for our wedding.
CJ provided great communication and was a great resource during the planning process. On the day of the wedding, Christian was amazing. He ran things smoothly, from the ceremony, all the way through to the late night dancing. He had a great feel for the crowd and played a great mix of songs. Talking to our friends post-wedding, we got so many compliments about the music! Also, Christian managed the transitions so smoothly that it was seamless going from Rammstein to Charli XCX to a slow dance. We (the couple) only noticed it by how effortless everything flowed from one to the next and a sense of "how did he manage to do that?!"
We were extremely pleased with our experience and would work with CJ and Christian again in a heartbeat.

Bringing our Filipino and Mexican families together to celebrate our wedding, we knew early on that the music was one of the most important investments we would make. Our wedding was everything we could’ve asked for thanks to Best Life Entertainment. It was such a pleasure working with Kris and CJ. Best Life will take time out to meet with you, go over your timeline and music selections. The fruit of our labor was a dance floor with over 3 hours of nonstop energy; Kris seamlessly transitioned from Classics & Oldies to Cumbia to Hip Hop to Punk Rock to R&B to EDM to Banda and everything else in between as we requested. He’ll play everything you want to hear and things you didn’t know you needed to hear! The soles of my shoes literally split apart from how hard they had us dancing. All our friends and family left raving about amazing the music was. These guys are true professionals at reading the room and blending music. Their skill injects so much energy into you event, yet they aren’t over the top nor large personalities: they always let the music speak for itself. Kris’s skills also shine on the mic as an emcee. At our ceremony and dinner, Kris got our guests where they needed to be and allowed our timeline to flow as smoothly as possible. Even when we needed to make last minute adjustments, Kris was receptive and adaptable to change. If you LOVE music, we could not recommend Best Life Entertainment enough!

Kristian was the perfect DJ and emcee for our wedding night. For months leading up to our wedding, he stayed in contact with us, helped us fine tune our timeline, and allowed for us to curate much of our dance floor playlist, something that was very important to us. One thing that stood out to us was Kristian's attention to detail- without this I don't think our wedding night would be as perfect as it was. Our family has a lot of difficult names, but Kristian spent the time learning the exact pronunciation of each person involved, which impressed many guests. Also, his ability to 'read the room' when the dance floor kept the dance floor FULL until the end of the night! I would strongly recommend Kristian and Best Life Entertainment!

Music was one of the most important components of our wedding as we wanted to make sure that all of our guests had a good time. We worked with Kristian and CJ throughout the process and when we shared our vision they heard us and helped our vision come to life. Their process is smooth, easy, and you can tell they care about their couples. Leading up to the wedding they attended our walk through to help ensure the vision would come to life. They set up time to review our music and timeline to ensure it was accurate.
This all lead us to the night of where CJ was able to keep our crowd going and ensure that our most important songs were played. CJ wasn’t just a DJ pressing play he was an MC, he read the room, and made it a memorable night.

He knew how to set the mood and tailored to the flow of the night. His experience and song choice aided in reviving the dance floor multiple times. He was able to hit all our target songs whilst taking requests. He adapted to our cultural asks and was flexible to our unique reception activities. Best of all, he was seemed like he genuinely enjoys his craft which shows his passion and set the tone of the event.

Kris was the emcee and DJ for our wedding in May 2024 and he was phenomenal! From the start of cocktail hour and through the reception until the end of the night, Kris kept the guests
entertained and engaged with his impressive music mixing. When the dance floor opened up, our guests literally danced the night away with hit song after hit song.
We were so impressed with Kris’ service and overall ability to bring people together with his music. We highly recommend him to anyone who needs entertainment for a special event they are hosting.

We had the best experience working with Best Life Entertainment for our wedding! DJs Kris and CJ were amazing at reading the vibes and atmosphere throughout the evening and matched what our guests, event timeline, and we needed at all the right times.
DJ Kris was professional and reliable throughout the entire planning process and wedding day. He made sure to confirm all of our music choices, personal preferences for MCing, and ceremony cues the week prior to our wedding, and we really liked that he synced with our officiant and wedding party before the ceremony on wedding day to ensure that everyone was on the same page as well.
From the first intro call to the music selection tips and their great energy in MCing and DJing our wedding night, we had the easiest and most fun time working with BLE! Highly recommend!

If we could give more than 5 stars, we would!
Kristian, from day 1, has been so personable when doing consultations all the way through to the end of our wedding night. Music was a big thing for me and my husband and felt like the most stressful portion of planning. Luckily, Kristian was so knowledgable about timing, song choice, and most importantly, mixing the music! He is definitely not one of those DJs who presses play on a playlist and lets it run.
He was accommodating to my guests' song requests and used his discretion on whether or not the songs would fit the atmosphere, and he didn't let songs run too long where people got bored of dancing to the same thing over and over again. He works up the crowd and we couldn't be any more happier with his service!!

If you want an amazing duo that will rock the house out, this is your DJ. They helped us throughout our wedding process, we where very unsure of songs to walk in and out of. They said no worries suggested and helped us think of things we never thought to do. We had a not so conventional song but it also was hard to dance to. And they had the best idea, last song of the night! Adam Sandler grow old with you, was our song we ended the night with and everyone loved it!!! They where so shocked. It was a great idea and an amazing way to end our amazing night. We loved every moment!! Music was great from ceremony to reception! We have a big wide range of music taste and they nailed it. We had everything from our favorite boy band to country to Spanish music to punk rock. I didn’t think it could be done and they nailed it!! Our friends and family can’t stop talking about how everything flowed and went so great together. Thank you for making our night the best night ever!!! We highly recommend this team, they love what they do!

Kristian from Best Life absolutely crushed it at our wedding!! Throughout the whole process he was super accommodating and answered any questions we had, he even customized the song I walked down the aisle to to make it just right. He really read the room at the reception and the dance floor was bustling all night. One couple that I know of got his card when they left, which says a lot about his talent. He made the entertainment planning so fun, lighthearted, and enjoyable and we cannot recommend him enough!

Best Life Entertainment went above and beyond for our wedding, we couldnt have asked for a better crew! After multiple conversations/video chats about the type of music we were expecting for each part of our wedding, they absolutely nailed the whole event. The dance floor was filled the entire night and I even asked for a request which they mixed in without missing a beat. The MC made sure to keep our schedule but wasn’t too forceful where anybody felt bullied. Just absolutely phenomenal the whole night and we got constant compliments from our guests on how great the DJ was! 100/100 would recommend.

I can’t say enough good things about Best Life. They were quick to respond and so easy to work with. Kristian was our main point person and he went above and beyond to make sure that the day went smoothly. The whole process of wedding planning is already stressful (we did it without a wedding planner, and only had 7 months!) but Kristian made sure we had a good timeline and helped walk us through some of the main points. Even suggested a few things based on his experience. From the first phone meeting to every zoom planning call after, he really helped us and made sure we had everything covered. He checked in constantly during the reception to make sure we were on time and would make sure we were ready for the next thing. Honestly the best DJ and MC group we could have asked for. HIRE THEM!!

Kristian from Best Life Entertainment was the absolute best! He really was there throughout the whole planning process with us, as our first meeting was about a year out from our wedding. He was so easy to talk to and made sure that he really understood our vibe and expectations for our wedding day. Kristian had great communication throughout the time leading up to our wedding, with multiple check-ins and was always available if we had questions. On our wedding day, he played every song we asked and actually mixed songs. The dance floor was full the entire reception. I didn't even change from my heels until there was only about 20 minutes left of the wedding because I didn't want to leave the dance floor and miss any songs! We cannot recommend Kristian and Best Life Entertainment enough. We received so many compliments on our DJ/music from our guests afterwards. Thanks Kristian - you're the best!!!!

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST! Could not have higher praise for CJ and his team. We knew that we'd be choosing 'Best Life Entertainment' for our August 2023 wedding right after our initial call (I know, this review is a touch late).
During that initial call we spoke with CJ who told us a little about himself, the company, and walked us through what we should expect during the process leading up to the wedding day. After the first 10 minutes, the remainder of the call was asking what our vision / vibe for the day was. It was refreshing to see that CJ was starting with a blank slate and wanted the experience to be what we wanted and not what he thought it should be.
It was incredibly easy to communicate with CJ as he provided us with his email and cell phone, always receiving a response within 24 hours or less. The wedding playlist form was much more detailed than others, which we appreciated (specific songs for moments, intros, do not plays, dinner music, etc.)
For our intro song and first dance we really wanted a unique experience / original mixed song, and CJ delivered. We got on zoom multiple times to make sure it was just right and we could not have been happier. Making sure that the dance floor was bumping all night but that it didn't feel like a club was one of the main things we wanted. To say that he delivered would fall short, everyone mentioned how much fun they had on the dance floor and that it was hit after hit after hit all night long.
As fast as the wedding day goes, we really won't forget being in the middle of the dance floor and everyone around us singing and dancing because the music was just amazing. We had multiple people ask for his Instagram / contact info.
The pricing was competitive and in my opinion money very well spent. CJ went through many details, confirming if we needed extra mics, asked what kind of system the venue had to make sure that they didn't need additional amps, and even included an additional MC so that it wasn't just one person working the event.
Seriously, book them!! You won't regret it and you'll dance your xxx off!

We wanted to thank you again for being the BEST DJ of all time! You were SO fun and the music was amazing for our wedding day. We truly had the most fun ever - thank you for being so good at what you do, and for allowing our guests to have such a blast! My feet still hurt from dancing, but I’m not mad about it! You read the room so perfectly, starting out with the wedding classics and moving into the fun party music towards the end! CJ was so easy to communicate with, and he was so organized throughout the planning process.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

Our wedding reception was the best party I've ever been to, all thanks to Best Life Entertainment. We started working with Kris well in advance of our wedding. He took the time to get to know us - both individually and as a couple - met with us several times, and created a comprehensive document with every single music detail I could think of. On the day of our wedding, I was able to relax and enjoy every minute thanks to the up-front preparation that we did with Best Life Entertainment. Kris and his partner, Mikey, have a gift for reading the room and playing the perfect music to keep the dance floor going strong - it was packed through the entire reception! Several of our friends had so much fun at our wedding that they ended up hiring Best Life Entertainment for their own weddings in 2024. We received SO many compliments about Best Life Entertainment and would pick them a thousand times over again.

We had the privilege of working with Kris and his team and they did an amazing job from start to finish! The communication was great and they were extremely flexible to accommodate all the things that come up on a wedding day. Kris also went above and beyond to make sure he had plans A-Z ready if they were needed! Music was a great mix and got the dance floor full! Could not have asked for a better DJ for our special day!

OUTSTANDING!! Our DJ, Kristian, absolutely crushed it. Our friends and family are still telling us what an excellent job he did, and we cannot recommend him enough. My wife has (by her admission) *eccentric* musical tastes, and he wove it all together seamlessly. Talking to him in the lead-up, and finalizing right before, was a perfectly reassuring experience. Finally, I'll add that he totally controlled the room -- even my rowdy cousins stopped and listened when we has announcing a speaker, a dance, or anything else. Thanks Kristian!!! We'll never forget it.

Kris is absolutely exceptional. He was a blast to work with and he brings so much energy and positivity. Kris was an absolutely instrumental part to our wedding.
As an MC, Kris keeps everything fun but also keeps it moving along so to not get too far behind. As a DJ, Kris has such a phenomenal read of the dancefloor. He is able to continuously spin tracks that keep the floor packed and the party rolling - we don't think our floor emptied out once!
We feel so fortunate we got to work with Kris as he is the best of the best. We feel our experience with Kris lived up to the name - we did live our best life with Best Life!

DJ Kris was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. He worked with us to put together a wonderful and unique playlist that we have gotten a ton of compliments on, and was a fantastic and chill emcee. He got our vibe (bride is a musician with eccentric taste and groom is into more mainstream tunes), and executed it flawlessly. Thank you, DJ Kris!!!!

The absolute best DJ in Chicago! We could not have been happier with Kris and the entire Best Life Entertainment team. Kris consistently checked in with us before our wedding to see if we had questions, song requests, etc. We felt so confident in his ability to ensure our event went smoothly and he did just that! He kept everything running on time and ensured that everything was announced correctly. Our dance floor was packed all night and people could not stop raving about the music. We highly recommended Best Life Entertainment for any future wedding/event needs! Thank you for making our wedding the best night ever :)

Best Life Entertainment was the absolute best investment we made for our wedding. Kris and CJ were a joy to work with. The planning process was organized and clear. They listened extremely well and gave tactful input to help formulate a music plan that matched the vibe we wanted; inclusive of ages and cultures with a few quirky elements to some wedding traditions. They were responsive to last minute changes and attentive to detail. Kris kept the evening moving and guests informed of what to expect with his emceeing, but when it was time to dance, he didn’t insert himself unnecessarily to inject energy in the room, but instead he let the music speak for itself. His ability to read the room was excellent and he made sure the dance floor was always active. Our dance floor was literally splitting apart because he had everyone dancing so hard! And even for the guests who stepped away from the dance floor, they enjoyed how the music was loud enough to be energetic but still low enough to allow conversation. Every detail of the sound experience was fantastic. They even took some video, which was especially valuable since we didn't hire a videographer. We highly recommend Best Life Entertainment, especially if you have a unique vision for your wedding or are finicky with music.

I am the type of person who usually does not write reviews, BUT let me tell you hiring Kristian from Best Life Entertainment, was the best decision ever! I just got married on June 3, 2023 and Kris did an incredible job! Not only did he help me plan a timeline but he helped elevate my playlist for the wedding! Our guests could not stop complementing his work. He will make all your guests dance even if they don't! And Kris highly appreciate you demonstrating us how to slice the cake because nobody else did that for us that day! I highly recommend them and would hire Best Life Entertainment for future events!
