I enjoyed working with Stephanie and Jorge from Buena Beats. The planning process was easy and I liked how they had a portal for us to use for planning purposes. Stephanie did a great job mc’ing for the wedding she helped everything go along smoothly and on time ! However there were some hiccups along the way that left a bad taste ! For our ceremony the groomsmen’s song was a shorter and incorrect version. The mic was not picking up my voice for the whole ceremony. Our exit song for the ceremony was incorrect by the wrong artist. Despite putting it in detail on their planning website 😔 the photobooth was a hit !! Our guests loved it. Also our first dance song was too long despite asking to cut the two songs in half. Most of our songs from our requested list were not played. I’m really hoping my videographer was able to get my vow exchange on camera since their mics weren’t working 😞
Jorge and Stephanie were absolutely amazing! From the first Zoom call to discussing the final details of our wedding day, they were on top of everything. Jorge had the hits playing all night long that me and my husband couldn't stop dancing. Stephanie had an inviting warmth that was welcoming. Our guests had a great time and loved every bit of our wedding. Buena Beats professionalism is beyond compare, and I would love to work with them again in the near future.
David and I couldn’t be happier with the fantastic work that they did. From our first meeting up until the day of the wedding their communication with us was amazing keeping us up to date on all details. We had a bilingual wedding and they did an outstanding job playing music for both sides of our parties keeping everyone on the dance floor all night. Buena beats is the best! Do not hesitate to hire them for your next event. Once again, thank you Jorge and Stephanie.
Jorge and Stephanie are truly, such a great team! We knew finding a DJ was one of the most important decisions of our wedding planning, especially finding a DJ that was bilingual. They were both extremely professional and thorough from the very beginning, all the way until the very last minute on our wedding night! Them being helpful and knowledgeable made that piece of our wedding so easy and smooth! They really listened to our interests, dislikes, and requests, and the night of our wedding, it was great to hear the variety we requested. Stephanie was so helpful and had a solution for all and expected events. Thank you Jorge and Stephanie, for creating a place where we felt comfortable in conversation, but most importantly, for assisting and being part of our special day!
This wonderful team did an amazing job bringing extra joy and pizzazz to our wedding. From the early planning calls to seamless day-of production, they were incredibly thorough and made all of the technical needs feel easy and fluid. They brought so much life to the party, from the MCing, DJing, photo booth, and lights. We especially loved the photobooth options for customization–very cool looking! And loved having bilingual announcements for our toasts. Thanks for great work.
Don’t look anywhere else, BOOK THEM. If I could give them a million stars I would. After having a dj and Banda cancel on us at last minute I found buena beats and sent my information within minutes I got a call after talking on the phone I knew I wanted them in our wedding. Stephanie and her husband Jorge were a huge help with our wedding and are the sweetest people you will meet. They had every little detail down for our wedding. They speak both English and Spanish which was a huge help because of our diverse friends and family group. They played something for everyone to enjoy the night. They did an amazing job and take their responsibility very seriously because they know these events we will always remember. I wish we could do the night all over again because everyone enjoyed themselves and it was a dream come true. I cannot thank them enough for their hard work.
Buena Beats came to my rescue. My original booked Dj was unprofessional and above all criticized what I wanted for our special day. I booked Buena Beats Thursday night with my Wedding being the following Saturday and they FOLLOWED THROUGH. Everything was communicated and they executed everything smoothly. They went above and beyond for my wedding and I will never their service. They were perfect for my wedding as our guests loved a mixture of Spanish and English music. Thank you Buena Beats!
Buena beats was hand down one of the best and most important decisions we made about our wedding. As a culturally mixed couple, we wanted DJs who could blend our cultures and help everyone feel included and important while also keeping the dance floor alive. Stephanie and Jorge were a dream team in every way. Stephanie was so communicative, responsive and helpful and Jorge completely understood our musical tastes and everyone danced til their legs almost gave out! They made our wedding the best party of our lives while also keeping our wedding feeling so romantic and wonderful.
Very professional! We continue to get compliments about Buena Beats almost a month after our wedding! Loved being able to sign into the client portion of the website and select songs for the night.
I first sought Buena Beats for their DJ services. However soon afterwards we contacted Stephanie to help us out with her wedding planner services. We opted for the full services so she was there every step of the day. She is attentive, listened to our vision, and brought vendors that met those expectations. She took a lot of stress off our shoulders by contacting vendors and following up with them in a timely manner. She would always be in contact with us and even get back to us quickly whenever we had questions. As the day got closer and closer, she made sure all of the loose ends were tied up. She helped so much on the day of the wedding. She helped my family out so much and they are so grateful for that. She and Jorge made sure the bridal party were ready in a timely manner. They kept all of us on schedule that day and night and made the day run smoothly. Jorge kept our guests on the dance floor all night. My guests could not stop raving. I would definitely recommend Buena Beats for your next gathering. They are amazing! Our wedding was perfect and they played a big role in it.
Buena Beats was a life saver for our wedding! We had a big traditional Mexican wedding and they were able to include all the traditions and requests we wanted. Jorge and Stephanie really took the time to get to know us and what was important to us to incorporate into the wedding. We did have to worry about the structure or timeline of our reception; they handled everything! The communication was amazing. The organization was amazing. The music was amazing! We would definitely book them again for a big event. 10/10 recommend.
Stephanie and Jorge are an absolute amazing team. I reached out to them initially just for DJ Services and upon meeting Stephanie I knew I needed her help finishing planning our wedding. Stephanie helped me immensely with picking out my food catering company, dealing with a difficult venue and finding the minute details within each contract. Stephanie also managed day of coordination and timelines.
Jorge is an amazing DJ. We gave him a list of our MUST play list and a Spotify playlist as inspiration and I was on the dance floor 95% of my reception. We were having a bilingual wedding and Jorge managed to play both english and spanish music as well as read the crowd and play accordingly.
I can confidently say BuenaBeats took years of stress off my shoulders. I would blindly recommend anyone planning a wedding to reach out to Buena Beats. They are professional, truly listen to their clients and ensures it all is up to the client's standards. Stephanie held my hand through Chicago (not my hometown) and walked me through the waters of wedding planning.
Thank you Stephanie and Jorge! Im glad the wedding planning is over, but I sure will miss working with the two of you!
We hired Buena Beats originally only for their DJ service, but then decided to add their Wedding Coordinator service a month before our July 2022 wedding (best decision!). Where do I even begin? Stephanie and Jorge were absolutely amazing! Jorge kept everyone dancing all night long, and provided a great mix of music for our multicultural wedding. Stephanie was beyond helpful in the month leading up to our wedding! Stephanie is very organized and always thinking a step ahead! She took initiative in contacting all our vendors to introduce herself, and checked in with vendors when we needed to get details figured out. She offered great advice and suggestions, but also made sure we were able to do what we envisioned. She even came over to our place with her assistant prior to the wedding to review all the decor and get a clear picture of how we wanted everything set up. Hiring Stephanie as our coordinator allowed us to have a stress-free wedding day, and I can't thank her enough for it! She set up our venue just like we asked, and added some extra touches to make it even more beautiful! She helped coordinate and touch-base with all the vendors, and kept us on schedule. She even packed away all our decor at the end of the night, so that all we had to do was load them up in cars! I highly recommend Buena Beats for both DJ and wedding coordinator services.
Jorge and Stephanie were great to work with, any question I had they were quick to respond to. A lot of my family members speak primarily Spanish, so it was important for me to find a DJ that spoke the language so they could translate and also be able to provide a mix of music I know my family would know. They both remained so professional throughout the entire process. They also provided the photobooth and it was an absolute hit with all the guests!
Stephanie and Jorge are wonderful to work with, and we couldn't be happier that they were part of our wedding! They were thorough, both professional and personal, and genuinely wanted to make sure our choices were customized and meaningful for us and our families, which we really appreciated. My husband is from Spain and I'm Irish-American, so we wanted a bilingual DJ and MC to help all our guests feel comfortable and have fun. Buena Beats nailed it! Everything ran smoothly, people were dancing all night, and our guests also got a kick out of the photo booth. We're honestly a little sad that we're done working with Stephanie and Jorge for now, and we highly recommend them for any event!
I love the amazing service that Stephanie and Jorge provided for our wedding! The dance floor was always full and everyone was satisfied with great variety of music they played. They helped keep the energy going all night long! Stephanie was a great MC and helped keep everything according to schedule ! The timing with music of the intros, dances, and activities (garter/bouquet/vibora del mar/etc) was spot on! I cannot recommend BuenaBeats enough for all events!
When we first started the process of looking for a DJ our only requirement was that they were bilingual. And with this one requirement we stumbled onto Buena beats entertainment. It took one video call and we immediately knew we had found our DJ. They went above and beyond not just on the wedding day but leading up to it the whole time. If I ever had any questions even if they weren't dj related they were there to help. They also have a wonderful network of bilingual vendors that they have worked with that they are happy to recommend. I really just can't say enough good things but from the moment we hired them we had nothing to worry about!
Stephanie and Jorge are professional, attentive, engaging, and charismatic. They did an incredible job working together to make our wedding special. Jorge really knows how to read the crowd and is responsive to their likes/dislikes. Our guests danced all night!! Stephanie will make sure everything goes smoothly. She went above and beyond and was there when we needed her. We received SO MANY compliments on our DJ and host. Don't look anywhere else- these two are by far the best.
I would highly recommend Buena Beats to anyone, we had a wonderful experience working with them. It is clear that Buena Beats cares about each of their clients and works hard to create a personal relationship with them. All of our guests have told us how much fun they had at our wedding – the dance floor was never empty! Buena Beats does a great job of playing music that suits guests from all cultures and keeps the night flowing smoothly. Their photo booth was also a big hit and it has been so much fun to look through the photos afterwards! Overall, we are very happy that we booked with them!
Stephanie & Jorge are an amazing duo! They helped plan out our wedding and made it an absolute dream come true! I don’t know what we would’ve done with out them, they are so detailed oriented and made the whole process go so smoothly. Best wedding coordinators out there! I would recommend then a million times! Will definitely use them again for future events!
We used Buena Beats for my daughters wedding. Stephanie and Jorge went above and beyond to help us plan every detail of the wedding. I can’t say enough about how detail oriented, organized and patient they are. They knew how to integrate all the details of our Latino culture into the wedding. I don’t know how we could’ve managed without them!
Stephanie & Jorge were AMAZING! They kept in contact over two years of planning our wedding due to a covid postponement in 2020. They kept in touch and checked in on us through the whole process. Amazing customer service! They have a payment plan which we appreciated 1,000 times!! It was so nice to do small payments throughout the planning process. This was the only vendor we didn't have to stress about payment on the week of our wedding. We selected them because we are Mexican American and wanted a bilingual dj/mc and they came through! Day of, they killed it with the music and guests LOVED the photo booth..huge hit! Thank you so much BuenaBeats for being part of our special day!!
Jorge and Stephanie are a powerful duo that will keep your guests dancing all night! They were so professional, detailed, & could not have asked for a better partner for our special day. Book them!!
Jorge and Stephanie were a pleasure to work with. We made having a bilingual wedding our priority since our families were both English and Spanish speaking, but we definitely got more than we originally looked for in a DJ! From day one to the day of, they kept great communication with us. You won’t have to worry about a single detail not being covered. Stephanie is great at coordinating your whole day just as discussed and definitely an expert at it. We felt like all of our traditions were really well incorporated. Our guests loved the photo booth and were dancing all night!
Buena Beats Entertainment was amazing!
I can't say enough good things about Jorge & Stephanie. My wife and I got married in Galena IL. Our wedding guests consisted on English and Spanish speakers. Hiring a bilingual DJ was our top priority. We contacted the recommended DJ's through our venue but weren't happy with the selection. Most of them were not bilingual or had any experience working a bilingual wedding.
We found Buena Beats and reached out to Jorge & Stephanie. They were extremely helpful from the beginning. They were understanding of our needs and willing to travel 3 hours away from Chicago. We had to reschedule our wedding date due to COVID-19. Jorge & Stephanie remained in contact throughout the rescheduling. They were very thorough in the planning process in terms of music selection, timeline, and setup.
They were extremely professional the day of the wedding. They worked closely with the wedding coordinator and other vendors. The dance floor was packed the entire night, which is exactly what we wanted.
Thank you again Jorge & Stephanie!
Where do I begin? Stephanie and Jorge were a BLAST to work with! They are the definition of going above and beyond for their couples. Our wedding was postponed due to COVID, but Stephanie and Jorge were there for us every step of the way from checking in on us to see if we needed any help finding vendors, to working on our timeline, to walking through the venue to ensure they were fully prepared, to keeping the dance floor bumping all night long! Seriously, I cannot recommend Buena Beats enough. Majority of our family that attended the wedding speak primarily Spanish, while our friends speak English which is why finding a bilingual dj/mcee was so important for us and we could not have asked for a better team than Stephanie and Jorge! Thank you for all your help and helping make our wedding a dream come true!
Stephanie and Jorge were amazing to work with! They went above and beyond to accommodate us when we postponed our wedding due to COVID and made sure that everything ran smoothly the day of. Jorge even helped us create a custom mix for our first dance which was a huge hit. Stephanie and Jorge were attentive, detail oriented, and very organized. They did an awesome job playing a mix of Spanish and English music at our reception and all of our guests had a blast. I highly recommend Buena Beats to anybody looking for bilingual DJ services.
Jorge and Stephanie are a great team from start to finish. They are both very attentive and very knowledgeable when it came to our wedding. They took care of all of our worries dealing with other vendors and the venue staff. They made sure our timeline went as smooth and accurate as possible. The music was good but maybe we needed to communicate with them more about our music selection. Other than that they were fantastic, oh and they also included a photo booth that our whole family enjoyed. Would definitely recommend them.. thank you both.
I absolutely loved Buena Beats! They made the whole process so smooth, and easy. Stephanie is amazing. She made sure we had everything we needed, and that our wedding night ran smoothly! Jorge knew exactly what song and when to play it to keep the party going. They also have a website for clients, which helps you with the special song selections. That was a huge help. We had the time of our lives thanks to Buena Beats. They also provide a photo booth! Which was a huge hit at our wedding. I loved having the option to have a bilingual DJ. I highly recommend them! They are absolutely the best. Thank you for helping making our wedding day perfect.
Both Stephanie and Jorge were so helpful throughout the whole process! They made sure everything was just the way we wanted and helped make all the stressful planning easy! It was important for us to have a bilingual DJ and they made sure to meet all of our needs. The constant communication helped a lot, especially during the last few weeks leading up to the big day. They helped make our wedding day perfect and I’m so glad they were part of our special day. I will definitely be using them again for any future events!
Working with Stephanie and Jorge was a delight! They are super helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. They made sure everything during the reception ran smoothly, would sincerely recommend Buena Beats to any couple!
Stephanie and Jorge worked really well with us during the pandemic! They were very understanding and supportive. I loved how Stephanie checked in with us periodically and continued to remain positive.
They did a wonderful job keeping everyone dancing all night and sticking with the schedule outlined before the wedding. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a quality and affordable D.J. We’ll definitely be keeping them in mind for future events and we know we’ve told some friends about them already!
From the bottom of our hearts, gracias por todo.
I couldn’t think of anyone better to work with than Stephanie and Jorge for our wedding DJ. My husband and I were married in the middle of a pandemic, and at first we weren’t even certain it could happen. With the ever-changing regulations we were always on the edge, thinking we might not even be able to have our wedding at all, and never knowing what to expect. At one point we realized we needed to make some serious changes. We were nearly forced to cancel completely but I called Stephanie (to vent mostly) and she assured me that we would work it out. She gave great advice about ways to handle our situation and sort of talked me off the edge. Our wedding plans definitely did change a lot from the original plan but Stephanie and Jorge stuck with us through all of it. They were super understanding and accommodating, and we are forever grateful to them for making our day so special. I will continue to recommend Stephanie and Jorge every chance that I have!!
We had such a fun dancing atmosphere and our family shared so many videos of everyone on the dance floor! We had a good time working with Stephanie and Jorge. Due to covid, our reception was moved to our backyard and Stephanie really worked to keep everything on track. She helped us create a timeline and a couple minutes before it was time to do the next thing she’d give us a heads up. The dance floor was always packed! Jorge knew how to read the vibe and change it up if needed. He played all of our song requests and kept us dancing. Everything ran smoothly and we were so happy for the day to have finally arrived!!
Buena Beats was one of our best vendors at our wedding this past weekend! Since the beginning of the wedding planning to the end, they were there to help every step of the way. Stephanie and Jorge went above and beyond to make sure everything would turn out perfect. We come from a family that doesn’t do much dancing, but our dance floor was packed all night long! Jorge makes sure to read the crowd and play songs that keep people on the dance floor. So many people commented how much fun they had and that is thanks to Buena Beats! I can not recomend them enough!! They are seriously amazing and will have your dance floor packed all night long! In addition, their photo booth service is also 5 stars! They give you a photo album at the end of the night with all the photos your guests took, plus a small message they write. It’s so nice to be able to see how much fun everyone had and keep those memories! If you want to have an amazing fun wedding, hire Buena Beats ASAP!!! I know I will for my next party!
Our wedding was July 31st 2020 and it was important for us to have a bilingual DJ at our wedding. Stephanie and Jorge did an amazing job in planning our special day and exceeded all our expectations!
Stephanie & Jorge were wonderful to work with! We had our wedding on December 13, 2019, and they both went above and beyond on our wedding day. Stephanie pays attention to every detail, and both Jorge & Stephanie are very attentive and responded quickly to questions we had. We are truly happy we found Buena Beats!!
Stephanie and Jorge are professional, thoughtful, detail-oriented, and so talented! Highly recommend!
I am a wedding planner in Chicago, and my clients met with Stephanie and Jorge early on and looped me in. The wedding was an exciting yet complex mix of cultures (Jewish and Mexican/Bolivian) and languages (they did everything in English and Spanish!), and Stephanie and Jorge were very knowledgeable and adaptable as we navigated a complicated reception.
Day-of, they were highly professional even as there was a ton spinning around them - 3 planners, a mariachi band, a photo booth to set-up, ceremony sound, and one large space that housed the entire event.
Thank you, Jorge and Stephanie!
When we first meet Stephanie and Jorge we knew right away that they were the best choice for our wedding. Their professionalism and commitment showed right from the beginning. They were always available for every question we had. Stephanie and Jorge also helped us with the wedding arrangements with our other vendors as well. We had to coordinate a wedding all the way from California and Stephanie and Jorge made it so much easier. We met multiple times up until the wedding and they made us feel secure that our wedding was going to be a blast. Wedding day DJ Buena Beats was on it. From the ceremony to the venue they both made sure we were on schedule and that everything and everyone was at the right spot. Our wedding was very memorable thanks to DJ Buena Beats and we had many guest talked about how amazing the DJ was. I would highly recommend that you hire them as your next DJ. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. We had them do the ceremony sound as well and that made a huge difference for us. Thank you very much DJ Buena Beats. We hope to see you again in the future!
