Talent City Artists

ceremony and cocktail hour so stunning and memorable, and our guests spoke so highly of the artists on strings. We look forward to working with Corey again soon!

re for our day! A few days before the wedding, Corey called me to go over the music selections, questions, and even provided helpful feedback on timing, intros, etc. We went over everything and we were set! Fast forward to our wedding day and everything went off without a hitch. Corey, the DJ for our wedding, was FANTASTIC! The dancefloor was packed all night and we danced the night away. Corey, our dream day couldn't have been as wonderful as it was without you! THANK YOU!!!

ding..

ht!! The booking process was very easy, and I loved the client site where I could add my own playlists for them and just add the song names and artists. They did both our ceremony and reception music. I loved that they bring could hear the whole ceremony no matter where they sat. Would highly recommend them for weddings!

as working the event that day, reeled us in with their amazing presentation of fireworks and music. I even spun their "Fun Prize Wheel," where I had won the Buy 1, get 1. Working with this company, leading up to my wedding was a nightmare! The whole way, it was ridiculous! Wedding Day is a girl's biggest dream to have everything go as perfect as possible, and this day was my worst nightmare becoming a reality.Corey was very laid back when we had first talked with him to go over what we wanted for our wedding day, and the free photo booth we had won the day of the Bridal Expo. He was very agreeing to what we wanted for our special day, he even assured us about our theme we wanted. A Starwars wedding theme, Corey even offered that he would give us a Star Wars background for the photo booth. Everything leading up to my special day seemed like it would go smoothly and have zero issues, my whole day was ruined and a total nightmare that my husband and I will NEVER forget. Our wedding day got taken from us especially since Talent City Artist Photographer lost most of our wedding photos!!! Corey showed ZERO remorse for what had happened to our wedding photos. He kept pushing our meeting aside because of "family emergencies," yet his stories on instagram said differently.  Corey is supposed to be the boss man of this whole company yet he wasn't around to take charge of the damage that was done and his way of fixing things was offering us a "anniversary shoot," at a restaurant. I LOST MEMORIES to the most important day of my life and all he was willing to do was take us to a restaurant to take pictures of us eating? LOL, no thank you.I lost my Grandpa a month after my wedding and all of the last photos I had with him are now gone. You can never replace those. My husband and I hired two photographers for my wedding day and they were both late for the first shots of the Bride and Groom, and if that wasn't the worst of it they were then 40mins late to the Park location where we were going to take our bridal party photos! Their photographers had zero direction and even one of them was very creepy and even perverted, where they made many of us feel so uncomfortable. Disgusting behavior and attitude that day from many of the vendors we had booked with Talent City Artist!The DJ that Corey had given us was not prepared for our entrance track at all. Dj did not know how to do his job or work a crowd. We had a whole playlist ready for our DJ to play for our wedding that night that my Husband and I worked on for months using Corey's website to make the DJ's life easier but he played whatever he wanted because he only played 5 songs that were on our 10hrs of play list. Our photo booth person we had that day was rude and unprofessional. Pictures we got from our day were pitch black and no Star Wars background like we were PROMISED.My husband and I were very patient from the start with Talent City Artist but after taking months and months to get told that most of our photos of our wedding were gone was extremely disappointing and frustrating! After everything that had happened, all Corey did was threaten that he gave us "free shit."No, I won that free photo booth fair and square buddy. Maybe check with your employees before you go threatening your customers about that.

t. We give Corey 100 stars

some phone calls a lot of our friends are getting married soon.

ists and we could just tell that he was 100% committed to making our day go perfectly. Very professional and affordable. Thank you so much for being part of our special day!

photography services. I saw great reviews and went for it. I was severely wrong. 1. Corey never told me my photographer until the week of my wedding 2. Thankfully I trusted my gut feeling and hired another photographer for my wedding who did an amazing beautiful job. 3. I asked for my deposit back bc I did not go for TCA photographer due to unprofessionalism and not following up on multiple emails..Corey said yes he'll send it. Never did. It's about to be February. There's 500$ he kept for himself. 4. He told my nice videographer that I only want a highlight reel of my wedding, even though I bought a package that was my full wedding being recorded. He is very disorganized and fails to communicate anything. 5. He has had multiple employees quit because he is scamming wedding couples left and right. 6. My church mass was the most important aspect for my mom, which now I don't have memories to watch with her. Don't book for the love of God. Save your money. His business is no good and I will never recommend him for anything. If I can give 0 stars I would. You have made other couples wedding nightmares come true. I now have no video of my wedding because of his scam ways. His website and services are still up but best believe it's still a scam.

oming, breaking our contract. 2) It's January and we have yet to receive our full-length video. 3) The photo booth was lined up wrong so all the pictures were off center. We have a bunch of off centered photos now- yay. 4) He played the wrong song for our bridal party walk in. He played a song I specifically asked him not to play. Do not trust the high ratings on the WeddingWire or the Knot for this company.

ul. We weren't 100% sure what to expect. Fortunately... DJ Juan was INCREDIBLE. He unleashed something feral in us and kept everyone on the dance floor until midnight. He took some unusual requests (karaoke, a coin toss to change our last name, a medley for our family dance) and did a wonderful job. He will forever be a legend in our household.

uitar for the ceremony. Our guests all had very positive feedback about the music selections and general flow of the event. Thanks, Corey - we really appreciate the your keeping our party going!

ning smoothly and according to plan. There was not a single guest who wasn’t on the dance floor the entire night. To us, music was the most important aspect of our wedding day and Corey blew us away. I would highly recommend Talent City Artists to everyone!

eady stressful wedding. He kept the flow of songs going, even knew what songs to play for my Greek husband's family, and kept the schedule of the wedding on point so I didn't have to think about a thing on the night of my wedding. The dance floor was packed until midnight and everyone raved to me later about how fun the dance floor was! BOOK HIM!

was around our needs and how we wanted to make our ceremony and reception perfect. He and his assistant (Paola!) played exactly the style of music we love and asked for. The dance floor was packed all night long! It was an absolute party. We are thrilled we chose My Chicago Wedding DJ. Highly highly recommend for anyone reading this! They are the best.

ust play" songs and was very approachable and friendly with song requests. Corey went above and beyond our expectations by arranging sound in our cocktail room and even send us a google album of pictures and videos he took! I would 100% suggest Corey if you want a really good energy and vibes DJ for your wedding reception!

ortal that helped us to plan timelines and give song requests. DJ Chris was incredibly responsive with emails and we set up a phone call a week before the wedding and he gave suggestions and support for us. On the day of the wedding, he had everything set up for us and we did not have to worry about a thing! We had printed photos and they even gave us a photo book of all of the pictures that people took! Such a great company and DJ to work with!

our discovery call we knew they were the perfect fit for us. Chris’s enthusiasm is contagious and his excitement over our Star Wars theme had us even more excited for the big day! Chris had so many ideas on how to enhance our big day, discussing our ideas with him really helped us visualize the event and figure out the order of events. The music was INCREDIBLE!!!! Chris made seamless transitions between songs and we had multiple guests come up to us complementing the playlist and expressing anticipation over what song was coming on next. He even free styled a remix of the Imperial March to Yeah! And it was a pretty epic moment that had everyone stunned on the dance floor. At one point, Chris even sang a song for all of the couples and his voice is amazing. Chris is beyond kind, professional, and genuine. The passion he has for his work oozes off of him. Besides being busy with DJing, Chris did some videography as well, he showed us a brief clip at the end of the night and we cannot wait to see the rest of it! This was an unexpected surprise for us and we are so excited!!! Paola was very communicative and responded to all of my (many) questions over the months right away! She was very professional and kind and I truly felt like she cared about our event. At the end of the day she gifted us a photo album with prints from the photo booth, there were some custom made Star Wars signs for guests to hold and a specially made personalized Star Wars backdrop for the pictures. She was so sweet and bubbly and made it easy for guests to use the photo booth. Leading up to the event I felt like we all became friends along the journey and it was so exciting to finally meet them both in person! We cannot thank you both enough for everything you did for us. The night was a complete success and the dance floor was filled all night long!!! Thank you x1,000,000 and May the Force be with you!!!!

wedding. We never spoke with our DJ but the day of the wedding at noon Corey Sanford assured us that "Edmundo" would be there. Ceremony time, there's no DJ. We scrambled to find a speaker at the venue and used an AUX cord attached to my phone - thank goodness I made playlists because I did not trust that Talent City would come through. There was no pre-ceremony music and we were incredibly stressed. My husband spent the hour before the ceremony scrambling worrying about music which cut into photos with family time. We did get a replacement DJ AFTER dinner hours after the promised arrival time of 3pm. This DJ knew nothing about us, nor our preferences for music. The dance floor was empty until the last hour of dancing. It was a disaster working with this company and we have not received any refund despite numerous attempts to contact them. Spare yourself the headache and go with a trustworthy DJ service.

ct a surprise gift for my husband during the wedding, which was executed perfectly! These people are kind, easy to work with, and extremely professional and knowledgeable in how to work a wedding. DJ Chris allowed us to personalize many of our music choices for the entire wedding, no matter how untraditional our selections were. He also entertained our guests not only with well selected music choices, but his singing and scooter riding as well! We had a lot of people compliment us on our choice of DJ. He didn't take over our night, but he certainly enhanced it! Props to a DJ who went far beyond our expectations! Rebekah & David

ang us some beautiful songs during cocktail hour that our guests just absolutely loved! He was more than willing to accommodate when it came to special requests and he even stayed later for us! All in all I will definitely be telling any future brides to book with him

to leading up the big day was very accommodating and happy to help. Cory was our DJ and he did a great job. He kept people on the dance floor all night and was happy to do anything that was asked of him. Their pricing was reasonable and everyone was very happy with their performance. Highly recommend Talent City Artists and definitely request Cory!!

e hadn't chosen and replayed a few that had already played. Our video was so fantastic that we can't wait to watch it again next year!

ining what we needed music for. DJ Chris checked in with us a few times before the big day. He played the majority of the music we had chosen for our wedding.
