Just Press Play Productions

Gardens) didn't have the right sound/speaker system in place, so we found Just Press Play and used their basic Bose speaker and wireless microphone rental. It was really affordable (even with the travel fee since we got married way out in Sycamore), and exactly what we wanted! Jeff Iliardi was very easy to work with by email and always answered all my questions. Jose from Just Press Play was the one who came out to set up and pick up the equipment, and he was really nice too. You can add on a lot of different things, like extra speakers for bigger spaces, and different lighting set-ups and stuff. They offer DJ service too if you don't want to do it all yourself. We had a great experience with this company and would recommend them to anyone!

be able to find such an affordable DJ service. Alan was our MC and he was phenomenal. He was professional, friendly, and so much fun to have at our wedding. Nobody would have ever guessed the playlists came from our own Macbook! The ceremony was beautiful, and my reception was a total dance party, which is exactly what I wanted. I cannot thank JPP enough for all of their help!

ss Play was efficient, timely, personable and reasonable with a small budget--helping us get exactly what we needed at the best price possible. We used their wonderful sound equipment for our ceremony and reception, and it was simple enough to operate that one of my friends plugged in my iPod to the system and literally just pressed play to get the party started. Truly grateful for an inexpensive, reliable and quality music option.

Press Play is a great way to make your wedding music very personal since you make all of the music selections yourself. I really liked that aspect of this business because who knows your wedding guests better than the people planning the event. That being said, Jeff was able to play the songs that got people on the dance floor and kept them there all night long (seriously our dance floor was packed the entire night). I can’t tell you how many people said “Your wedding was the best wedding ever” and I know that had a lot to do with Just Press Play (Jeff). I would recommend this company to anyone looking for DJ services. They provided great customer service, created the ultimate dance party atmosphere, and were even affordable. To me that is the trifecta!

s perfect sound, he made sure he knew all of our names before he introduced us, made the right amount of commotion during the intros, started the first dance and all other dances with a wonderful intro. He was lovely and the sound was lovely. I would definately go with him again. The only challenege was starting the playlist compilation with my fiance hit once we got going it was finished in a matter of three hours. Its amazing how much music you know and love.

f music!

ecommend him. The price was perfect too!

hrilled that we were able to work with Just Press Play for our wedding. Jeff, the owner, is wonderful. I swear he responded within half an hour to every email I sent. He was clear about our responsibilities and provided useful tips for creating our playlists. The day of our event, he was punctual (actually, I think he was early!), friendly, and efficient. I'll be honest. I miss him. Just Press Play is a diamond among the wedding industry rough.

d so many compliments on our music and couldn't be happier. The MC option costs a little more, but is totally with it, as they do all the announcements for you. Jeff was awesome and so nice, every time I asked a question. I would highly recommend them, to everyone, especially people that have a lot of songs they want to play. They are extremely reasonably priced, about 1/3 of most DJs I got a quote from. Also, on the rsvp card, we put a line for a song request, and tried to put a good amount on the playlist-people get really excited when their song comes on!

ides all the music and hook ups. You supply the source (ipod, ipad, etc), you supply the playlist, and they supply everything else. This was perfect for our Promontory Point wedding in Chicago IL. Less than $700 and we had all the equipment and an emcee to announce us and all the other highlights of the night. Karl was our emcee and he was terrific! Whatever we wanted to hear, he played immediately next. He also supplied some of his own favorite tunes which helped magnify our playlist. We had a microphone and throughout parts of our night we had sing alongs...it was fabulous, just what we wanted for our party!

great job of fading out the music at just the right time for the ceremony. Jeff, the owner, was very easy to work with and quickly responded to all my emails and thoroughly answered all my questions. He also had great advice regarding how to make the playlists. He was also knowledgeable with what equipment I would need for the space and the number of guests. The music sounded great and the DJ was awesome...all at an affordable rate! I would highly recommend Just Press Play for any wedding or party!

, and abruptly cut off songs as he recognized it had either been played before, or was not the appropriate song for our carefully selected setlist. This type of behavior continued throughout the night and the bridal party had to step in to help him on several occasions. One of the lowlights was when Ric unplugged our iPad from his equipment and threatened to leave the wedding. He abruptly cut off songs, repeated songs, and continued to make mistakes throughout the night. He managed to completely delete an entire hour worth of music that we not only carefully arranged, but also purchased from iTunes. When we look back on what should have been a beautiful ceremony and reception... we cringe to remember the music situation. The music selections took a LOT of time, effort and money. Fortunately, when our groomsman and even our caterer called Jeff to complain for the poor service... Jeff refunded our money without asking any questions. For that we are appreciative, however, refunded money couldn't make up for the embarrassment and frustration the Just Press Play representative caused to us. After the police were called on this person (because that is just how bad his performance was) it turns out he was not under the influence of alcohol, but rather it was a bad reaction to new medication. It's an extremely unfortunate situation that played a large part in our memories for our wedding. The concept of the business is a great one and Jeff was easy to work with, but we wish we could have known in advance that the representative sent to provide service didn't have front teeth and had two-toned dyed hair. We also would have liked to meet with the representative to ensure he was able to utilize the iPad and navigate appropriately to the correct songs (which were carefully chosen and labeled by my fiance). This may be an isolated incident, but when you are spending so much money and time planning your event... wouldn't you like to know what could happen? If you choose to go with this business, based on affordability or convenience, make sure you know who will be playing your music and what type of personality/conditions you might be forced to deal with (and worse, always remember).

ur vendor before so they knew the set up. Overall a great experience!

y for with this company and we could not have been happier with them.

imeline. Two of my friends have already inquired with him and one for sure has signed a contract! Two thumbs up to Just Press Play!

ty, bride and groom grand entrance, and first dances perfectly. He kept the night right on pace and was a pleasure to work with. The sound system he provided sounded great and did not take up much space. I would recommend this company to anybody!

dj's. Our guest had a blast!

orable days of your life. Jeff did a good job playing the music we had compiled to be played. Great service especially for the cost - $525, which is much less than any typical DJ! The work to put together the music was totally worth the savings for us.

went down. Well, he just played all the fast songs and ignored all the slow songs, which I always hate at weddings. Literally, he played only 1 slow song that I didn't have to go and request in the entire 3 hours of dancing.

m being able to enjoy each ourselves. You also must have a friend or family member that is comfortable doing the announcing.
