A FEW KIND WORDS...
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. - Maren & Randy
Green Line Talent was the obvious choice for our December 2018 wedding after contacting multiple DJ companies in the Chicago area. Erica and Elissa were so responsive and easy to work with, and great at addressing our concerns, above and beyond anyone else we spoke with. They worked hard to connect us with a DJ who would be a good fit. DJ Zach was wonderfully organized and helpful leading up to the wedding and did an amazing job the day of. He did great work making a coherent set list from our somewhat scattered music taste. We also appreciated his MC skills as he was very clear and confident at telling the crowd what was going on. We were very nervous about things flowing smoothly and about keeping the party going, and we could not be happier that we trusted everything to Zach. He got a ton of praise from our guests, which is really saying something because we had a huge range of ages and tastes. We highly recommend GLT! - Sarah & Ben We are so thrilled that we chose Green Line Talent to DJ our wedding day. We have gotten so many compliments on our DJ, Zach, who killed it. Zach was so receptive to what music we wanted and actually played what we wanted, unlike many wedding DJs we have seen at other weddings. An actual quote from our friend, 'I went to a wedding this weekend but was not as much fun, they obviously didn't have your DJ.' If you want to dance all night with your friends and family, ask for Zach!! - Danielle & Nick 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!! - Jim & Cara We used Green Line Talent for our wedding in September. It was great working with Green Line Talent and Kyle for our wedding. We can’t thank Kyle enough for his great work. During the booking process Erica and Elissa were quick to respond to emails and phone calls. Kyle was absolutely fantastic as our DJ. We had an outdoor ceremony and indoor reception at the same venue and Kyle executed perfectly on setting up sound for both areas of the venue. He was accommodating in our requests for a hand microphone for the officiant during the outdoor ceremony and indoor for speeches. Kyle is detailed orientated, prior to the wedding we exchanged several emails and had a phone call to go over our preferences. He played everything we were hoping to hear and filled in the gaps perfectly. Additionally, he made sure the volume of the music was at a good level for cocktail hour and dinner. He confirmed names prior to introductions. During the reception, the dance floor was full the entire time. We received many compliments about the music, Kyle played a great mix that entertained all age groups. He helped us out with a few special song requests as well. We were extremely happy with the music selection for the entire evening. His work was flawless. From start to finish Green Line Talent and Kyle were top notch. They were responsive, organized, friendly and professional. We would highly recommend working with Green Line Talent and Kyle. - Chris S. It was important for us to have good music that people would want to move their bodies to at our wedding. Green Line Talent, Elissa in particular, was perfect for this. I think most people were truthful when they said our wedding was one of the best parties they had ever been to and Elissa played a huge rule in making it a memorable bash. She was extremely responsive and helpful during the planning process as we tried to hone in on the genres and vibe we wanted to create during the reception. People danced like maniacs, as did we. She was very open to our song requests but also delicately handled our uncertainty and took the lead on figuring out what was best for us. - Johan & Amrit We used Green Line Talent for our wedding on 7/28/2018. I don't even know where to start, bc they were just absolutely amazing! We honestly didn't know where to begin when looking for a DJ bc we have not been to a wedding in the city. We decided to check with our venue, Salvage One, to see who they recommend. I went on the GLT website, and it was just so easy! I was able to check out each DJ's samples, and just listened for hours. Emailing with Erica and Elissa was wonderful, they were always so quick to respond. We decided on Kyle based on his samples, and I can't say enough good things about him! Right after we booked, he emailed us with a very detailed questionnaire, and mentioned we could meet or chat before the big day. But to be honest, his questionnaire was so amazing, thats all we needed to feel confident about the music for our day. And let me tell you, he exceeded any and all of our expectations. The day of, we came to the venue early to take photos, and thats when I met Kyle. I just remember introducing myself and how genuinely kind and happy he was, so I felt even more comfortable from that moment on. Everything, from the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to dinner, to the dancing was PERFECT. My niece and nephew danced the night away, and keep asking me if we can go back to the day of the wedding to dance some more bc it was their favorite day ever! I will continue to recommend Green Line Talent to anyone I know who is planning a wedding (or any event). Thank you guys for making our day even more special! - Whitney & Mark Elissa had everyone on the dance floor for the entire night. When we reached out to her originally, she was very communicative and offered to Skype with us so we could tell her about our wedding, our musical tastes, and what we were looking for. From start to finish she was professional, prompt in her responses, and super supportive. The day of the wedding, we didn't have to worry about a thing. Elissa handled all of the intros, toasts, and surprise dances with precision. She played all of the songs we loved and wanted to hear, and was able to read the crowd perfectly. We had many people come up to us and say the music was awesome and they had never danced so much at a wedding. I definitely recommend her as a DJ. Elissa, thank you for making our wedding reception a blast! - Kasey & Tarun DJ Elissa was fantastic! We knew we wanted to avoid the overbearing DJ that played all the stereotypical tracks, and Elissa delivered on that and then some. From the very first conversation, she was totally on top of things and easy to work with. She took the time to understand our music tastes, understand our crowd, and understand the vibe we wanted. The day and night of, she was subtle and professional, kept everything moving along, and played an unbelievable mix that perfectly represented everything we talked about. It's been 2 months since the wedding and we still get comments from our friends and family about how great the music was! Elissa made our night even more incredible than we had hoped! - Dylan & Steven DJ Kyle was absolutely amazing. My wife and I used him a couple of weeks back and were blown away by what he did, as were all of our guests. We have a wide range of taste in music, from country, motown, classic rock, top 40s, you name it we requested it to be a part of our special day because that's who we are. We were concerned until we heard it, WOW. It was a blast and the next song brought even more energy to the party. Also, he was extremely professional, he dressed completely appropriate, and his set up was simply yet elegant to match the day. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND him to everyone! - Nate & Alex Green Line Talent was super helpful! They are reasonably priced and all of our guests had a fantastic time at the wedding. People were on the dance floor the entire night. Gabe played all of our favorite songs and we are going to recommend him to all of our friends and family. - Joey & Katie 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! - Katie & Rob Kyle did an amazing job as the MC and DJ at our wedding. I've never danced so hard and loved all the music he played! He kept the party going so much that our guests were winded they danced so hard. I'd highly recommend Green Line Talent as well as Kyle to be your wedding DJ! - Dan & Sarah
When my husband and I met four years ago, one of our initial attraction points was our shared passion for music. After becoming engaged, we knew that music would play an important part of our wedding; as such, we sought out a DJ that could energize the crowd through strategic song selections, rather than through interruptive emceeing. Looking back, it feels like Elissa was made for us. Throughout the process, Elissa was undoubtedly the most responsive vendor we worked with. She took time to work through each step of the reception with us, providing her feedback from prior experience, but allowing us to set the tone from a creative standpoint. The night of our wedding, we were blown away at what we heard; Elissa seamlessly worked in our eclectic song requests, but was able to read the crowd enough to keep all attendees happy. In the weeks following our wedding, we received numerous compliments on Elissa’s set, specifically her keen ability to gauge the crowd and get everyone up on the dance floor. Elissa is highly organized, thoughtful and responsive. She played an integral role in the success of our wedding night, and we can’t recommend her enough! - Katie & Sam Zach is a professional and talented DJ. His in depth-knowledge of music theory and audio equipment shines through in not only his performances, but also in his ability to assess any problematic situations that may occur during the setup of equipment. I have played numerous shows with Zach, and each time he was on-time, quick to setup, and a joy to be around. He knows how to take his job seriously while also having and providing a good time. Unlike some DJs, he is very open to any music that you want played at your event, and will customize/tune any performance to your liking. Zach will make sure that your event is not only successful, but also special and joyous. - Dustin Green Line Talent and DJ Kyle are wonderful! Our wedding was at Lacuna Artist Lofts in mid-August. We needed to find a DJ to provide music for our ceremony, a microphone for our officiant, and music for our cocktail hour that were held on the rooftop, then music for our reception inside. Green Line Talent was so responsive and reasonably priced when we were looking for a DJ. About a month before our wedding, we met with DJ Kyle to discuss our music taste and share ideas of songs we wanted played during different parts of the event. DJ Kyle did an amazing job of reading the room and kept the dance floor busy all night! - Alyson & Michael DJ Kyle rocked my best friend's wedding! Although I am a DJ myself, the bride refused to allow me to work on the night of her wedding, so of course I was so relieved that Kyle was such a tasteful, professional, and FUN DJ to keep us moving all night long! There were a lot of last-minute change-ups the day of the wedding due to weather issues, (we were basically caught in a monsoon!), and Kyle ended up hitting all of his cues without skipping a beat. He had every member of the bridal party's names listed out phonetically, and he even worked in a special original song that the groom wrote for the cake cutting! Kyle managed to work in all of the classic hits, but also demonstrate some of the groom's more obscure tastes during cocktail hour and dinner. So glad to have Kyle as a part of our roster! - Elissa P. owner of Green Line Talent We worked with DJ Elissa, and she was easy to work with, always responded to emails or calls in a timely manner, and when it came time for our wedding, she did a terrific job. We gave her a sense of what kind of music we wanted, and did not want, and she took that guidance and turned it into exactly what we wanted on the day of our wedding. Everybody at the wedding was asking who the DJ was and where we found her, and we are still getting compliments today. We particularly liked her laid back and professional approach. We would recommend Elissa without reservation. - Alexandra & Jonathan DJ Elissa was so great—excellent communication, helped us figure out timing for everything, worked well with the venue and our other vendors, and set everything up seamlessly. She was also great at announcing speeches and stuff like that, but didn’t make her presence the focus of the attention. We also thought it was just plain cool to have a young, hip woman as our DJ. We got so many compliments on the music too! Many of the older guests noted their appreciation that the music wasn’t too loud for them, and the younger guests commented on how good the song choices were. Even some of the staff told us they really appreciated the music, and one specifically thanked us for not making them “listen to Lady Gaga for the 80th time” (we avoided top 40 in general). Our photographer literally said it was “the best” music out of all the weddings she’s ever shot! - Leah & Darren After our venue, my wife and I probably spent the most time looking for DJs. We are both music-lovers, and it was very important to us to have a DJ who would reflect our tastes. We ended up working with DJ Elissa, who was an absolute joy from start to finish. After an initial interview, I provided her with some sample songs and the timeline of the wedding and let her get to work. The best way to save yourself stress and headaches when wedding planning is to find a professional whose work you like, and put your trust in them. Elissa was absolutely fantastic at our wedding, from timing the processional to getting everyone on the dance floor to dealing with those sudden scheduling changes that are bound to happen. I honestly cannot recommend her enough, and neither can anyone who was at my wedding – without a doubt, the music was the first thing people commented on! - Mark & Kristin We worked with DJ Mike for our senior prom, and he rocked the house! Even some of the teachers were out on the floor, which is somewhat of a modern miracle. Mike was great with mixing songs together in an interesting way, and always keeping us on our toes by switching up the beat. He adhered to our list of must-play songs, and made sure not to play any sappy slow songs as we requested! We whole-heartedly recommend DJ Mike for your next big event! - Jenny K., St. Ignatius We hired Elissa immediately after we met with her in person. She was so professional, yet approachable and was super flexible with us. We met with her in person twice before the wedding to consult with her about our approach to music and our vision for the day. The day of the wedding was a blur but I do remember that our dance floor was PACKED all night. And one of our music snob friends commented that it was the best music he’s ever heard at a wedding, hands down. She did a great job of listening to our wants/desires and bringing them to life to create a very memorable evening! I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking to plan a wedding. - Renee & Dave We loved working with Elissa for our wedding. She was really easy to talk to about our music preferences – no judgements! – and she had great recommendations for what to play for an intergenerational crowd. We had a blast at our wedding dancing to the music she played — and several guests complimented us on the quality of the DJing afterwards. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend! - Nate & Rebecca We spent two months looking for the perfect DJ and ended our search as soon as we met Elissa. She is the most professional, responsive, and down to earth DJ in the city. Initially, based on her mixes, we unsure if she would be willing to play some of the floor fillers we craved (we were concerned that her sound was a little too indie for the type of dance party we wanted), but she more than delivered and went above and beyond the call of duty to make all of our desires met (even borrowing equipment from friends to make our 3 set-ups possible). Our live performers loved working with her too and our parents cannot stop talking about the best night of their lives. She had everyone in the room dancing until midnight and after the "Last Dance," she even indulged my mom's desire to hear one last romantic song. I cannot speak highly enough of her. I have never seen so many people dancing non-stop on the dance floor to fantastic beats. A total pro with fantastic taste and an amazing vibe! - Zach & Alex Loved, loved, loved this DJ! You have to hear his work for sure! The music was never, too loud or overpowering. During dinner the music was only "dinner music" and beautiful. He totally worked the crowd and for the first time ever the dance floor was packed the whole reception! Excellent and everyone complimented the music! - Lindsey & David
DJ Elissa did a fantastic job for our wedding and my wife and I could not have been more pleased with the end results. From meeting with us prior to the wedding and getting to know us personally and helping create a great song list with our input, Elissa really got the overall vibe we were hoping to create for our big day. I would not hesitate to recommend her for anyone hoping to have some great entertainment for their wedding or any other event. She will keep the party moving at a good pace make sure everyone is having fun, highly recommended. - Ken & Amelia We (well, really, my wife) hired Green Line Talent to DJ our wedding. Not only was our DJ, Elissa a regular badass, she even worked in a special karaoke section so my best man could perform a Boys II Men song!" Elissa put in the time with us and go to know our musical tastes and our idea of how the night would flow, music-wise. When everything came together on the wedding day, Elissa and her crew were there promptly to set everything up, making it really easy on us. The music was awesome! It felt like we were at our own private club and the dj had some vulcan mind-lock on our music requests. Elissa just got "us" and we couldn't have done it without her. I highly recommend Green Line Talent, and ask for Elissa if you want an amazing DJ!! - Jason & Amanda |
We hired GLT after attending the Indie Wedding show at the Ravenswood Events Center. They paired us with their DJ selection, Zach, and we met to discuss logistics, song selection and general music preferences, prior to our August wedding. When it came to the day-of, Zach was very easy to communicate with and managed to handle the audio and DJ'ing for our ceremony and cocktail hour and the reception with stride. We really enjoyed the easiness and flexibility of GLT and Zach's talents. The once floor was full the entire evening. Thanks again, cheers! - Kasia & Jack
DJ Kyle was excellent, courteous and professional. We couldn't have asked for a better setup than the one he provided. Helpful to the bride and groom. Did not ever make it about himself. We especially were impressed how he connected music references in speeches throughout the day and made an effort to play those songs later in the night on the dance floor. Green Line as a whole made the entire process extremely easy from start to finish. DJ Kyle really helped in making our wedding very fun and special. - Allison & Stephen 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! - Katrien & Tej DJ Zach was great! He was communicative, flexible and made it a point to get as much input from us as possible before our big day. Zach played a variety of music; getting all ages out on the dance floor. We were having a blast with all of our family and friends and Zach was able to enhance the energy with great tunes. Yay for Zach and Green Line! - Samantha & Eric Green Line Talent was a fantastic company to work with! We had several meetings with our DJ, Jean-Luc, during the wedding-planning process, and he was always very attentive and personable. Jean-Luc worked hand-in-hand with our various coordinators to make sure he knew the setup of the reception venue, and kept people on the dance floor all night! Thank you so much for a great experience! - Andie & Colten We were absolutely blown away by our experience with Green Line Talent and especially our DJ, Zach, for our wedding. We currently live in Phoenix, AZ but had our wedding back home in Chicago, IL. Green Line Talent was recommended by our event planner and even after talking to other DJ companies we felt like Green Line Talent was exactly what we wanted. They aren't your cookie cutter massive wedding DJ company. Zach's profile stood out to us because of his experience in ALL areas of music through his life and career, not just weddings. We had all of our meetings via Skype and email and he was really flexible with our busy work schedules and the time zone differences. Zach took our WIDE RANGE of music tastes and mixed them into the perfect set for cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing. It wasn't just a playlist either, he had awesome transitions from song to song and was able to read the crowd well.He also handled our "no play list" and guest requests professionally and appropriately. I've never seen so many people out on the dance floor and we got so many compliments from friends and family in regards to the music all night. We have nothing but positive things to say about Green Line Talent and our DJ Zach and we definitely recommend them without hesitation to anyone who is looking for a personal, unique DJ experience for their wedding/event! - Jess & Steve 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! - Katy & George GLT was wonderful to work with! My husband and I used them for our November 2018 wedding. From the first email all the way to our wedding day the team was so easy to communicate with and made the process seamless. Erica & Elissa were always available to answer any questions we had and made the effort to make sure everything was running smooth. Zach was our DJ and he was also very easy to communicate and took the time to meet-up with us to discuss exactly what we wanted at our wedding. He accepted our goofy request (honestly goofy, a song from the Goofy Movie) for a walk-in song and was so accommodating to my mother-in-law who wanted to make the Mother/Son dance a surprise for my husband. On the day of the wedding, he was ready to go with the music for both our ceremony and reception. He followed our music suggestions/must-plays to a T and we couldn't have asked for anything more! I would definitely recommend GLT to anyone planning a wedding or event!! - Jessica & Cody 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. - Ian & Kim My wedding day was absolutely perfect. Zach did a great job at playing the different types of music evenly, even when he wasn’t familiar with most of the songs. I would highly recommend him for your wedding or event! - Elise S. The DJ John Norman made my wedding day such a blast! First I got put together with John after talking to Elissa who was so patient with me as I am very particular about music. She suggested John and working with him was a blast! First off he offered to meet my Fiance and I to talk through the music and what info we needed to give him. He also ended up giving us so much helpful advice for planning at the meeting. He was friendly and personable but always remained professional. He was really great at the event about checking in with me about when I wanted thing sto happen etc. He actually I think did a lot more work than our Day of Coordinator to be honest She kinda dropped the ball but he would just come over with a smile and ask about when we wanted to do the speeches/dances/etc. The dancing was the best part! He was great about keeping the floor moving! I had given him a list and he was good about balancing songs I wanted (I think there were a few songs where only I was dancing! but he knew I wanted them haha) and what he knew the crowd wanted. I could go on and on about John because I really want to do him justice because he really gave so much energy to our wedding and our music and I'm so grateful for that! Pick John from Greenline for your wedding and you will not be disappointed. Thanks John! - Liz & Mihai Zach was awesome! He listened to our suggestions and played excellent music. We let Zach have more freedom during dinner, and his choices were perfect. He was on time, very professional, and managed the speeches and timing impeccably. - Tyler & Angie We really enjoyed working with DJ Zach and appreciated all his help with planning - he met with us to review our music interests and was helpful in suggesting ideas. The announcements were great and the music from each portion of the night flowed well. We loved the music and the DJ style. Zach also coordinated very well with the other vendors on the day of. Thanks to DJ Zach for being a part of our day! - Renee & Carlos
"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!!" - Kelly & Tim Erica and Elissa were super helpful in the planning process and quick to respond to emails. DJ Kyle was fantastic. We had so many compliments on the music at our wedding and the dance floor was full all night. He sent a questionnaire to us a few months before the wedding to get a feel for the type of music we liked and what we didn't want played and we also had a phone conference to walk through the details of the day. He also played the music for our ceremony, and though we picked the songs, his timing was perfect. 100% recommended! - Kelly & Chad My beautiful wife and I were married in May of 2015. When it came time to hire a DJ, Kyle was our first choice. He did an amazing job as the DJ at my brother's wedding a year before mine. Kyle was professional from the start. He sent us a questionnaire that went over our musical preferences and many other details about our big day. Kyle was always responsive to phone calls and emails, and we met in person a few weeks before the wedding to finalize everything. Planning a wedding ourselves was hectic at times, so it was great when Kyle would proactively reach out to us with questions or reminders. Kyle also worked with our caterer on some logistical issues. Kyle arrived to our wedding dressed better than many guests, especially my weird uncles. Kyle is a confident MC. I can't imagine how the ceremony and the rest of the night would have been without him. Managing my family is like herding cats, but Kyle kept the party moving. While keeping our tastes in mind, he played a wide range of songs that appealed to our diverse group of guests. The quality of Kyle's audio system was top notch. I can't say enough good things about Kyle. He is an excellent musician, so DJing comes naturally to him. He was great to work with and he made sure our wedding was a night to remember. - Michael & Jessie Zach DJed for an event I held at the end of this past summer. The show was a mini music festival where we had bands alternating between 2 stages all day. Zach was exceptional in many ways: he was enthusiastic and always wanting to help, he was reliable and easy to reach, he was present for the entire day and an integral part of our sound team, and both of his sets that night got people smiling and dancing. Zach has great taste in music and his artistic decisions are expertly crafted. I'm looking forward to working with him in the future! -Mallory BEST DJ EVER!! I can go on and on at how amazing John was throughout the whole wedding planning process and for our actual reception. All night long our guests were coming up to us saying that he was the best DJ they had ever heard, let alone at a wedding, and how his blends were awesome. He truly went out of his way to make sure I (the bride) was happy as well as our guests. He really took the time to know exactly what type of music we wanted to hear and blew everyone away with is talent! We chose Green Line Talent for our wedding and DJ Geoff did a great job. He was responsive throughout the planning process, working hard to put together the music mixes for the different parts of our day that were spot on to our tastes and preferences. We knew that our reception wasn’t going to be an all-out dance party and Geoff worked with us to create a music selection that fit the vibe – and, when the evening inevitably got a bit more dancey Geoff read the room appropriately and mixed up the music to fit. On the day of, Geoff was professional but had a good time, especially when making announcements for the bingo and lottery activities we had planned, which made them even more fun. Geoff was a true partner who understood our vision and had the necessary attention to detail to help us manage the event timeline. - Matt & Samantha 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! - Jessica & Marc
Zach has performed at numerous events at my establishment and has improvised well with other artists on stage under short notice. He has demonstrated in-depth knowledge of music theory and audio through his ability to smoothly adapt to different types of performance. His eclectic DJing is as engaging as his performance as a solo synth and electronic artist. Zach has always been prompt, professional and encouraging to work with. My husband and I had the best DJ ever, John Norman!! We danced the night away along with our guests, which is exactly what we wanted! He made sure that every moment throughout the evening was perfectly seamless. We would highly recommend him! Thank you John for helping make our wedding a night that we will ALWAYS remember! I use DJs for my yoga company and Elissa was a GREAT find! I worked with her when I was hired by a corporate sponsor to produce a very large event. I had really specific needs in terms of music and Elissa offered me many options to choose from. In our consultation meeting, Elissa was incredibly attentive and promptly followed up with a sample playlist for me to listen to. She was responsive to my notes and ended up creating the perfect end product that included some great music I had never heard of (perfect for the event). At the event she was early to set up, efficient, friendly, professional, and very calm when she had to trouble shooting for the wireless mic we were using for class (not part of the job description). During the class she was responsive to my cues, flawlessly tailoring the music to exactly match the mood of the class - very important for people taking yoga. I would highly recommend her for any events. - Angelica Olstad of Pop Up Yoga NYC Green Line is my go-to for all my corporate holiday parties. As a high-end event planner, I know I can rely on them to impress my most discerning clientele. The audio quality is always pristine, and their DJs always turn up looking neat, professional and organized. I've thrown them in all kinds of spaces from giant ballrooms, to sprawling lounges, (we even did an event in an ice skating rink), and they always manage to make my vision work, without the need for micromanagement. In my line of work, having one less thing to worry about is a major boon. Green Line Talent rocks! - Grace T., Special Event Planner My husband and I were very insistent on staying on budget for our May 2015 wedding. This proved to be a hard task as my taste is not cheap. We had heard some great things about Green Line Talent, specifically their DJ Kyle. He was everything you could ask for in a DJ and more. Kyle is professional, knowledgable and easy on the eyes for all of your single friends. He knew exactly the vibe I was looking to create for my wedding and executed it perfectly. When planning a wedding, every decision you make feels like the most important decision in the world. I am so glad we went with Kyle and Green Line Talent. It's one decision you won't have to worry about. - Jessica T. DJ Elissa was one of my favorite parts of my whole wedding! Right from the get go before the wedding she was amazing. She sat with my (then) fiancé and really spent time to find out what kind of a wedding we were having, what kind of vibe we wanted, what kind of music we wanted and what the guests would be expecting. She asked all the right questions and took notes. On top of that, she was cool, like, I kinda want to just hang out with you cool. She was a total pleasure to work with! The day of the wedding she was a complete Rockstar. I can not even count how many compliments we got on the music! She read the crowd like a magician and was somehow able to make the night flow along beautifully! I did not have a wedding coordinator and feel like without Elissa that would have been impossible but she was always there following along with the schedule we discussed beforehand making it all just happen. Everything was PERFECT! I seriously am such a lucky lucky girl for scoring such an AMAZING gal to DJ such a big night of my life. THANK YOU SO SO MUCH ELISSA!!!! - Jill & AJ We used Green Line Talent for our wedding day and from the start they was professional, kind, prompt, friendly, and very open to hearing what we envisioned for our day. DJ Elissa worked with us in the months leading up to the wedding and each contact with her met and exceeded our expectations! The week of the wedding there was a small bump and Elissa offered and found an easy solution, which I really appreciated in all the last minute craziness! On the day of the wedding she was able to handle an “unpredictable” guest in a professional manner and stuck to what my husband and I had wanted for our day. I highly recommend her for your wedding! - Liz & German We wanted our wedding soundtrack to have a cocktail/dinner/dance party vibe and a mix of a lot of different types of music. Elissa was great from start to finish. She was professional, friendly, communicative and flexible. The music was right on, and Elissa nailed it. We couldn’t have been more pleased, and our guests had a blast. We even extended the event an hour so we could squeeze more dancing in. We have and will recommend DJ Elissa to everyone we can. - Charlie & Kevin I used Green Line Talent for a product launch party last month, and they knew just what to do to instill a cool cocktail party lounge vibe, which can be a tough thing to pull off at 4:00PM! A lot of our guests had just come off of international flights, so we were worried about everyone's energy level, but DJ Nate was able to read the crowd and keep everyone feeling energized, without being obnoxious. His announcements were clear and confident, without being "show-boat"y, and he helped us to keep everything right on schedule. We highly recommend DJ Nate & Green Line Talent! - Chris C. |
