Had a great experience with Green Line Talent. We got married on a boat and were worried about our DJ being able to adapt. Gabe was absolutely amazing. He also took all of our suggestions and was able to give us the environment we wanted for all the different parts of the ceremony. We also were kind of picky about not wanting people to request certain songs and Gabe was really great about holding to that. I highly recommend for a stress free and joyful experience.​

We used Green Line Talent for our recent wedding and they were beyond amazing. I can say without hesitation that Gabe was the best DJ I've ever seen at a wedding, and I'm not just biased because it was my wedding. I was apprehensive when looking for a DJ as I believe a DJ can make or break a wedding. I have been to a million weddings, and so often the DJ is lackluster or doesn't "read the room" well. We didn't know where to start, as there are so many great DJs in Chicago. We were initially interested in Green Line because it is family owned and reserves a portion of its profits for animal rescue charity, which is very meaningful to me. They ended up far exceeding my expectations. Gabe thoroughly understood our musical style and the vibe we were going for from the very beginning and achieved it to absolute perfection. The dance floor was packed all night, and all of our guests from their 20s to their 70s had a blast (including our guests who swore they would never dance in public). Even my mother who is in a wheelchair insisted on getting on the dance floor and "chair danced". Gabe expertly read the room and paced the music perfectly. There was possibly one instance where the dance floor thinned out, and Gabe seamlessly changed the song and within about 10 seconds everyone was back out there. No one wanted the evening to end, and people stayed on the dance floor even after the wedding ended. Gabe was also a great emcee throughout the event, making all of the announcements on point but never being obtrusive or overly talky. Erica and Elissa were communicative and responsive throughout the entire process, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality of service. Super impressed and highly recommend!​

I was so impressed with the services provided by Green Line Talent (GLT). We used Green Line for its DJ services and for a string trio. First, GLT asked for what music we were interested in both generally and what we want on our wedding day and other questions to give us a few suggestions on DJ. They matched us with Gabe based on our our musical preferences and the vibe we were going for on our wedding day. They matched us perfectly because Gabe was absolutely amazing. He was very open and receptive to our choices, and he even fended off a wedding guest who kept asking for a song that was on our Do Not Play list. Based on our conversation with him, and the detailed form that we filled out pre-wedding (which was very organized and comprehensive), Gabe nailed the tone that we wanted throughout the night. He was a great DJ, really professional yet fun, and I would highly recommend him and GLT for any wedding.

Gabe was the perfect choice for our wedding. We are very big music fans and were nervous that our wedding DJ might not understand our specific needs and choices we had planned for the event. However, after meeting with Gabe we knew we were in great hands and he worked closely with us to make sure he was creating the vision we had in mind. With so many things on our plate during the planning process he was extremely patient and flexible and was willing to work around our schedule every step of the way. At the wedding itself he played exactly what we discussed and did a great job start to finish from our wild entry to our quirky traditions. He read the room well and gave everyone a night to remember. If you are a music lover and want your special night to represent your individuality then look no further than Green Line Talent and our favorite DJ, Gabe Cozzens. ​​

Gabe from GLT was the best DJ for our wedding!! Our guests (and other vendors too) were so complimentary of his professionalism, music choices that blended with the vibe of the crowd, ability to take requests from our rowdy guests, etc. We’d highly request Gabe & Green Line to anyone looking for music at their event!​​

We are so glad we booked with Green Line Talent for our wedding! From the start of the process Elissa and Erica were friendly, responsive, and helpful in answering all the questions we had regarding our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. We chose to work with DJ Gabe and it was a pleasure. He was flexible with our schedules, listened openly to our musical thoughts and style and he definitely delivered on the big day! The music was fantastic, the dance floor was full, and we had many compliments from family and friends on the music and song choices!!

"We are so glad to have worked with Green Line Talent for our wedding this fall!! At booking, Elissa thoroughly answered all of my questions and sent me to the Green Line Talent website where you can view bios of their DJs and listen to sample mixes. My fiance and I got a kick out of listening to the different mixes and chose to work with Gabe as our wedding DJ. Gabe was awesome!! He was very professional throughout the entire event and we have received so many compliments from our friends and family on how great the music was!! He played different varieties of songs throughout the night to set the mood for cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing. He played the music for our ceremony as well and did a great job with the timing. We HIGHLY recommend booking Green Line and Gabe for your wedding!!! Everyone had so much fun and the dance floor was packed all night!!"

DJ Gabe was an absolute joy to work with. We had at least three calls and one meeting in person leading up to our big day and he provided a very handy spreadsheet that we had plenty of time to fill out to be sure "must plays" and "no plays" were all covered. On our big day he did a great job with announcements and moving things along in a timely fashion. He had all of our guests on the dance floor from the moment it opened until closing time. Would highly recommend Gabe and Green Line talent to anyone looking for a great party!

​I can not begin to say enough great things about Gabe. We had a few conversations about our music style and Gabe ran with it and blew us away. Some of the music we are into is a little less popular and I thought I would have to get him all the tracks and just did not end up having time to do that. BUT Gabe did amazing. He found all of our favorites based on the list we sent him of our favorite artists and he played our slower jams during cocktail hour and dinner and mixed it in with some awesome jams for the reception. He read the crowd so well. Never have I been to a wedding where the entire party, and no I don't mean the just the bridesmaids and groomsmen, but all of the guests at the entire wedding is singing and dancing to Bohemian Rhapsody. Older folks, young folks - my DAD! It was incredible. I also can not believe the timing on the music for the ceremony recessional. We didn't even have time to go over a que for the music. He just listened to the song, and went with it and man, it was PERFECT!

My husband and I had planned a small low-key wedding but we did want to have a great time and have a proper dance party at the end of the night. We decided pretty late in the game to hire a professional DJ. Despite the short notice, the people at Green Line Talent were incredibly helpful and very responsive. Our wedding DJ Gabe was very easy to talk to and on our wedding day it was clear that he had really understood what we were going for. Even with some very particular requests such as Belgian and Indian songs, he didn't disappoint. He worked them seamlessly into an already perfect playlist. Not only did my husband and I appreciate this, all of our guest were on the dance floor too. We definitely got the dance party we had hoped for. One of the best choices we made for our big day!

Gabe did a great job with the whole process. He was calm and friendly during the planning process and the day of the wedding. Things went smoothly the whole night -- even when my best man jumped the gun with the toasts. Gabe was able to kept things flowing and rearrange the schedule to get everyone fed in time. After making introductions for dinner and toasts, Gabe opened the dance floor and set the mic down to focus on playing the music. He didn't try to be the center of the show, and played the role of DJ, not MC. As far as planning went, we gave pretty loose guidance with a list of bands and songs we like, and he was able to put together a great set. Our friends thought it was a great representation of our tastes, and the dance floor was full the whole night. Erica and Elissa were great with managing the logistics -- prompt and friendly the whole time. If I were to have another wedding, I'd use them again without a doubt. You won't be disappointed either.

I highly recommend! They have many different DJs to choose from and connect you with one who they think is best suited for what you want at your wedding. They have great recommendations and also are really good at following what you want for you wedding. They also gave us up to 7 days before our wedding to change song recommendations which was super helpful. Very professional and make you feel secure about your decision throughout the process.

We used Green Line to book a musician for our ceremony and cocktail hour and a DJ for our reception. Brandon Reisdorf played guitar for the ceremony and cocktail hour. He learned multiple songs for us, was an exceptionally good communicator, and was highly organized. He was absolutely fantastic and exceeded my expectations. He created a beautiful and fun atmosphere. Gabe Cozzens was our DJ for the reception. I told him that I wanted him to play as many songs as possible in his 3 hour set, and holy cow, did he deliver! Everyone was coming up to me telling me how great the DJ was and how fun the dance floor was. One friend said it was like a powerhour of his favorite songs. It was seriously a blast. I highly recommend Green Line for booking your wedding music!
